Abstract Since those times when America was discovered, many people overflowed to this continent in search of a better life. Those emigrants who hoped to find in America better political, economic, or private life, wanted to realize American Dream. The word “movement” has a figurative meaning connected with those emigrants from Africa, England, Ireland, Mexico, etc., who arrived in the USA, chasing American Dream. What is American Dream? It is a phenomenon that symbolizes the ideal life of the USA population. American freedom includes success and prosperous life for everyone, regardless from the person’s origin or a social class. This idea is based on the United States Declaration of Independence which states that all people are equal, and have equal rights. The practical realization of this dream is one’s own house, built on a private land. American Dream is tightly connected with the concept of “self-made person” that means a person who, with the help of individual hard work, achieves success in his/her life (Schnell 2). Most of the emigrants, who arrived to the USA chasing their American dream, faced hard life, full of challenges and difficulties. Their American Dream was not realized, and they either died or resigned themselves to the dreadful way of life. Thesis:
Introduction Volunteering is common in the contemporary world whereby individuals offer their time and efforts for a good cause. Usually, volunteers do not get monetary rewards, but they get an opportunity to explore their talents, develop new skills, and have various gainful experiences as they make a difference to other people’s lives. Volunteering helps to save resources, bring people together, and promote personal growth and self-esteem. Organizations that have financial constraints can also benefit from free services offered by volunteers, thus facilitating operations despite the underlying challenges. Sound leadership is paramount for the implementation of successful volunteering programs since volunteers have to be motivated in a bid to remain enthusiastic in their endeavors (Connors, 2011). Failure to manage volunteers in an efficient way may lead to understaffing, thus interfering with the execution of an organization’s projects. This paper will analyze the causes of understaffing and the importance of compatible leadership styles for efficient management and motivation of volunteers at the broadcasting station of the Online University. Additionally, the paper will focus on the various reward systems, communication strategies, and training programs that would alleviate understaffing at the broadcasting station. Analysis of the causes of understaffing at the Online University Volunteers are expected to beef up the human resource aspect of an organization. However, factors such as poor office layout, weak
Introduction The theme of conflicting loyalties is brightly shown in the Arthurian legends, especially in Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart. The contents of all Arthurian legends are based on real historical events and that is why all stories are truthful being backgrounds for thousands of myths. The story about Lancelot as many other legends of the medieval period discloses the theme of love. It shows a deep conflict between courtly love and chivalric loyalty based on some established regulations, excepted rules and norms of behavior common for that period of time. Main body Typical behavior and relationships between the members of loyalty are shown in the story Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart. The author wanted to disclose the feelings of Lancelot, to be more exact the combination of feelings to his dear friend, King Arthur, and to the beloved woman Guinevere. The description of the love triangle between the close people transfers the reader to the antic times of kings and queens. The conflicting loyalties theme is centralized by the author highlighting the main rules excepted for the loyalties which should be compulsory followed whatever the cost. Due to the medieval nature of the legend style, it abounds in different expressive means and stylistic devices, that is why it is so emotional and deeply involving. The author managed to use a great number of epithets in order to show the relations of the characters to the historical events and loyal nature. Approaching knight (p.126) ; vile, low-born dwarf (p.127); fortified town (p.128); comely maidens (p.128); scornful word (p.128); miniver-lined cloaks (p.128); The author wanted to illustrate the exaggeration of some ancient event with the help of hyperboles. These literary techniques are also used to show the presence of love in the story and reflect the feelings of the characters. Everyone asked, how… (p. 128); He remembered nothing at all… he forgot all others … (p.131) The text is rather emotional and expressive because of the great usage of metaphors and metonymies. The usage of cognitive metaphors makes the story more lively and involving. The cold water awoke him… (p.132) Love frequently reopened the wound… (p.138) The legend under analysis abounds in such a variety of literary techniques as a synecdoche in order to avoid ambiguity in the text. The author used synecdoche very often to underline the class division and social inequalities of that time. … rich and poor, young and old mocked him… (p.128); All three entered through a gate (p. 128); To show more expressiveness of the stories the author tried to use different forms of similes in order to make some moments of the historical events a bit ironic and close to real life. …you drive around like a cripple? (p
I am happy to announce that we found the solutions to the community’s health care issues, and the development of the new Hospital project in Bilby was started. This event is significant for all the city because the development of the new Hospital provides answers to such problematic questions as the Bush hospital’s impossibility to offer services to the community’s population, problems associated with coming to the Bendalong Regional Hospital, and even the employment problem. During recent years, the community faced the challenge of the rapid increase in Bilby’s population. On the one hand, the tendency influenced the community’s development positively, and we are happy to welcome all the new settlers in Bilby. On the other hand, we faced the problem associated with the impossibility to provide high-quality care for all the population because of the lack of necessary resources. The Bush hospital cannot respond to the people’s needs, and the community became dependent on the Bendalong Regional Hospital. Fortunately, the solution to the controversial situation was found, and the new Hospital project was started. At this stage of the project’s development, we plan to locate the new Hospital at the Bilby Graveyard and Grasslands territory. This site is the perfect place to find the Hospital because of the ease of access and possibilities for locating the hospital buildings and associated infrastructure. The Hospital should be built on solid ground, and this site provides us with the opportunity to make an effective hospital complex to meet the community’s needs while following the principle of sustainability. The community’s population needs to receive high-quality health care, and we should provide the community’s members with such an opportunity. That is why the demand for building the new Hospital is apparent. Bilby’s population will receive the necessary treatment without going to the regional hospitals, the local employment will be encouraged, and the development of the industry will influence the progress of the infrastructure. The building of the new Hospital will respond to the community’s multiple needs while contributing to its appar
Though most Americans believe that there is no social difference among people, scientists claim that all people have relatively fixed positions in their lives. Moreover, these positions can be simply measured. The most common approach to assess social class is to utilize various indicators. The difference between the indicators used determines the various views on the problem of social class inequality. There exist two main trends in the study of the class difference: subjective and objective. The objective approach presupposes calculating the person’s income, educational achievements and occupational status, whereas the subjective one is based on the evaluation of attitudes and values, class identification and consumption abilities. Also, there exist different theories that treat the problem of class inequality in various ways. Two theories, namely, conflict theory and functionalism theory, seem to be the most persuasive in their attempts to explain the origin of social class inequality. The conflict theory is based on the principle of the classic “pyramid structure”, where there is a clear distinction between the social classes. The main feature of this “pyramid” system is that elite dictates terms to the larger classes. According to this theory, people who have conventionally been in power determine the work of major institutions, the establishment of laws and keeping to the traditions. Each of them serves as a means of support to the existing power. The rules which the people in power establish are expected to be followed by the rest of the society. Those who break the rules are considered to be deviant. The conflict theory outlines various ways used by authoritative people to stay in power. Karl Marx was the forefather of the conflict theory, and it was developed then by Max Weber, Max Gluckman, John Rex, Randall Collins and other theorists. The supporters of the functionalism theory (Herbert
The British people entered India in 1600s after the Portuguese and French. The then lucrative trade in ornamental goods was the driving force behind British interest in India. The British entered India and established trading posts in major towns such as Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta. The interaction between the British and Indians was stable and the Mughal dynasty of India kept the British traders under control. However, with time the empire started collapsing. Small states under the Mughal dynasty, led by maharajahs started fragmenting. This was because of the unrest between the Hindus and Muslims in India. This fragmentation left the dynasty weak and vulnerable. Consequently, the Indian emperor surrendered his dominions to the English east India Company. The British took advantage of this and gradually started controlling Indian territories. Eventually, the British took India as her colony up to 1947 when India gained independence (Patrick, 2009). The British contributed to the economy of India positively by building roads and railways, stabilizing the land tax rate and expanding trade in India. This worked well with the Indians as it favored their economy. However, the British started restricting Indians to industries such as cotton and textile industries straining their relationship with India. Further, the British developed a racist attitude that resulted to imperialism. Imperialism is the act of extending control over foreign entities by creating and maintaining unequal economic, social, cultural, and territorial relationships through domination and subordination. Imperialism acquisition is through direct territorial conquest or indirect methods of exerting control on politics or economy of other countries. Imperialism in India was a result of direct conquest of the Indian territories by the English east India Company owned by the British (Santhanam, 1972). That new culture of imperialism went on for long with the British oppressing Indians further each day. As the British accumulated more wealth, they became increasingly interested in gaining added control and power over Indian territories. They created social classes that differentiated them from the Indians. The British occupied the first class while Indians occupied the lower classes. The British allowed the upper Indian caste to assimilate and mingle with them. In addition, the upper and second-class Indians had privileges and got chances to go to school to fill up job positions and take up leadership. However, The Indians not allowed to occupy top government positions or own companies. The British took imperialism to the next level and coupled it with colonialism, completely subduing Indians. They enslaved Indians and made grow cash crops. The British exported the raw materials to Europe and the brought back finished products to India where they sold them at high prices. This increased profits for the British and motivated them to expand their territory. The profits also gave the British a stronghold on Asia and increased their power such that they could launch attacks on china. This prompted the British
Alfred Eisenstaedt, the author of the iconic photo “V-J Day in Times Square,” was an American journalist born in Germany. On the photo, he captured a sailor grabbing a nurse and kissing her on New York City street after the announcement of the Japanese surrender and the end of World War II. The man wearing a dark suit and the woman being in all white shows what is called a romantic kiss. She lifts her right leg slightly, and her left arm rests on her waist while the sailor leans over the woman and holds her waits with his right hand. The photo has a smell of the promise and relief of that momentous event. Eisenstaedt I think that idea of the picture is not about the nurse or the sailor; it is about the emotions that this artwork induces. Perhaps for the current generation, it is difficult to imagine the extent to which those people in the photo were excited about the end of the war. But those who still remember seeing a significant moment captured with decisive speed, elegance, beauty. I also believe that there are not many photographers left who can convey collective experience so skillfully. However, some people might disagree with me, referring to the inappropriate behavior depicted in this photo. According to Mindy Weisberger, the sailor and the woman did not know each other, so many people, especially feminist activists, view the “V-J Day in Times Square” as a public sexual assault. Although the kiss was non-consensual, Weisberger reports that the man and woman disagree with this opinion. It was more about the event itself, the long-awaited victory, and not about the kiss.

Time is one of the most unique and uninvestigated phenomena in our world. Its unclear nature and peoples inability to manage it attracted our attention and created a solid basis for vigorous debates related to the interference in its structure. The brightest minds have been trying to answer this question and formulate the main regularities related to this process for years. Besides, the rapid evolution of science and technologies renewed interest in this topic and gave rise to vigorous debates around the possibility or impossibility of time travels. Nevertheless, at the moment, there is still no consensus as perspectives on the issue differ. The discovery of wormholes also preconditioned the undying interest in the topic. Thus, there are several modern theories that could be explored to prove either the possibility or impossibility of time travels. When delving into the topic, it is crucial to understand the essence of time and its nature. One obviously knows the fact that it is one of the most powerful forces in the world. It could be defined as a continuous process of existence and numerous events that might occur in succession from the past through the present to the future. As comes from th
Statistical data that serves as an essential tool for collecting and systematizing primary healthcare data is of crucial importance for nurses and practitioners as a whole. To begin with, statistics serve as means of analyzing the most relevant trends in terms of epidemiological situation, the efficacy of various treatment interventions, and social precursors of disease prevalence (Fowler et al., 2021). Thus, the most valuable contribution of statistics is naturally observed in the paradigm of public health and health promotion, as the use of quantitative indicators is one of the most beneficial ways to draw attention to a certain health concept (Hebl, 2003). As far as personal experience is concerned, it should be mentioned that the use of statistical phenomena is an instrumental complement to evidence-based learning, as it provides hospital nurses with the ability to assess the intervention critically based on the previous outcomes. As a nurse case manager, one of my primary tasks is to develop a long-term care plan for patients with chronic and severe health conditions. The existing statistics assist my choices in terms of choosing a treatment plan, as they obtain a quantitative representation of various demographic and socio-economic peculiarities that might affect treatment. Moreover, when planning long-term interventions, it is of paramount importance to be well aware of the premises’ capacity and patient ratio in order to secure time- and cost-efficient response to patient care. As a practitioner, I am expected to both collect and analyze statistical data. The data is mostly collected with the help of nurses administering data to the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Later, the data is processed by the administration, as specific measures are taken in terms of staff organization and supply, as it evaluates both epidemiological and financial resources for the sake of optimal allocation.
Keats was an important figure in early 19th century poetry and arguably wrote some of the most beautiful and moving poetry in the English language, despite dying at a very young age. Many of Keats’ themes and concerns are essentially Romantic such as the beauty of nature and the transience of human life in time. Keats seems troubled by a quest for beauty and perfection and this is especially obvious in his odes. These lyric poems were written between March and September 1819 and Keats died in 1821. This paper would discuss and evaluate a comparison between Keats’ Ode on a Grecian Urn and ‘Ode to Autumn’. In Keats’ famous masterpiece Ode on a Grecian Urn, he has turned to sensuousness of art. Instead of identifying with the fluid expressiveness of music the speaker attempts to engage with the static immobility of sculpture. This is done by examining the pictures on the urn and by the speaker describing them and interpreting their meaning. Finding a paradox in nearly all that he finds, it is as if Keats examines both sides of every coin using the urn as a base of perfection and the mortal desires of man and the passage of time on nature as the flip side. When we compare these two odes, we come to know that the choice of an urn as the subject is in itself interesting, a container designed to keep things safe from decay. However, by keeping something safe from harm by enclosing it, you also prevent it from being released. This symbolic struggle is a theme repeated throughout the poem. The urn’s perfection is established in the opening lines being referred to first as a bride and then as a child, both of which imply a sexual undertone but by being unravished and fostered, the urn retains a God like purity, never tainted by the desires of man. The long vowel sounds of individual words such as ‘thou’ ‘still’, ‘bride’ and ‘quiet’ intrinsically imply a passage of time which the urn is unharmed by – it is still a child and therefore young, again separating it from the decay which both man and nature are subject to. Stanza one ends with a series of questions directed at the urn by the speaker as he imagines who and what the figures are. Stanza two begins with another paradox: Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore ye soft pipes, play on: Not to the sensual ear,……. On contrasting level, this introduces the idea that the unheard songs of the piper on the urn and by extension all experience gained through means other than the physical senses, are more perfect and lasting than those understood through the ‘sensual ear’ as they withstand the passage of time and nature. This concept of the very best sound being one you can never physically hear but one you imagine is then applied to further images on the urn. Despite the fact that the ‘bold lover’ can ‘never, never’ kiss the ‘fair youth’, they are told not to grieve as being frozen on the urn, they nor the trees around them will ever fade – their love will last forever in anticipation
It is crucial to diagnose a psychiatric disorder accurately to assign a treatment that would help improve a patient’s condition. The task is especially challenging for children and adolescents as their symptoms can be difficult to distinguish from other diseases. Typically, schizophrenia onsets between the ages of 14 to 35, however, most people are diagnosed before they turn 25 years old (Stevens, Prince, Prager, & Stern, 2014). Thus, it is essential to examine the state of a young person carefully before providing medication from schizophrenia, to identify the disorder in its early stages. Diagnosing Schizophrenia Diagnosing children and adolescents for schizophrenia is a complex task, as the symptoms can indicate other disorders. Firstly, children typically experience a more significant number of hallucinations that can be connected to schizophrenia than adults. However, it should be noted that according to Stevens et al. (2014) “psychotic symptoms do not necessarily portend the future development of schizophrenia” (p.5). Thus, the psychotic symptoms present in children and adolescents do not always progress into severe disorders. Both children and adolescents with schizophrenia have indicators of behavior that are more psychotic. For instance, “thought disorder, negative symptomatology (apathy, social isolation), and impulsive aggression” can suggest that a person has schizophrenia and not a bipolar disease (p. 5). The treatment requires choosing an appropriate medication and dose and waiting for an improvement
