Introduction William Shakespeare is undoubtedly one of the most significant individuals who has managed to shape the carcass of modern culture. Little glimpses into his life show that Shakespeare was a talented playwright, actor, and poet who grew up in English market life. He then moved to London only to return to Stratford-upon-Avon to become a wealthy landowner. Still, Shakespeare is rightfully regarded as one of the most influential artists humanity has ever known. Known both for his poetic talent and genius prose, Shakespeare established his literary style, which impacted the world of literature and became the foundation of the majority of modern clichés. Interestingly, William Shakespeare’s works were somewhat of a novelty during his lifetime. The author aimed to deconstruct common approaches to poetry and prose by experimenting with the themes of his works. Shakespeare’s commitment to unconventionality is the reason for his broad appeal even today. The writer’s skill to manipulate language and dialogue to convey a unique message makes him stand out even among 21st-century novelists. Shakespeare’s Sonnets are full of romantic imagery and musings about love, time, mortality, and beauty. On the one hand, they are testaments to those who came before Shakespeare – Virgil, Ovid, Plutarch, and others. On the other hand, this paper includes an in-depth discussion about Shakespeare’s mastery in presenting the themes of love and beauty from an atypical perspective. First, it examines Shakespeare’s unconventional take on love and youth in Sonnets 52 and 72. Then, the paper transitions into an analysis of Shakespeare challenging the literary traditions of writing about romance. Lastly, the essay includes a section dedicated to Shakespeare’s unorthodox descriptions of beauty. As of 2020, it is absurd to perceive a man writing about love in 16th century England as a rebel. Nonetheless, William Shakespeare managed to set a standard for his successors by challenging the literary dogma and stretching the limits of artistic expression. Critics note that “the hegemony of English as a global lingua franca, reinforced by the dominance of English on the Internet, helped to solidify the sense that Shakespeare, the most famous writer in the English language, is now a global reference point” (Lanier 1271). Being the most cherished English writer in the history of language, William Shakespeare left behind enough plays and poems to challenge any scholar trying to critically analyze the writer’s masterpieces. Nevertheless, this essay is going to focus on Shakespeare’s Sonnets as the author’s most popular works, which continue to receive praise from critics and book worms worldwide. Musings about Youth Shakespeare has demonstrated the genius of innovation
Introduction Goals 2000 was passed in a congress in 1994 by President Bill Clinton. It was to present grants and or resources to states and localities for systemic education reform efforts and also to certify that every scholar accomplishes their complete inherent capacity for coming into being. The act was amended in 1996 to reduce the requirement states would have to meet to receive access to Goals 2000 funding. This happened so because there was controversy about the extent to which the federal government was to be involved in education policy (Thurlow & Ysseldyke, 1994). Summary “Goals 2000” Goals 2000 focused on congressional and executive branch efforts to achieve specific outcomes that would ensure the U.S. economic and educational competitiveness. They include an expectation of continued federal advocacy of the six goals adopted by the state governors of the first Bush administration. The goals were established in the 1990s and were part of a national effort to foster standards based reform in the schools throughout the United States. These goals, though laudable, were largely rhetorical, and their actual realization, given the federal budget deficit, was highly problematic. Accomplishing the goals was largely a state effort because of the lack of long-term federal funding (Raisch, Hunt, & Lasley, II, 2010). Goals 2000 and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act reauthorization legislation have far-reaching implications for the federal, state and local compact on education. Goals 2000 establishes a framework for standards-based reform, codifies eight national education goals in the federal law, authorizes funding and other incentives to encourage states to adopt and implement standards, calls for participating states to develop assessments
Introduction Organized teaching strategies are featured by credible learning tools to facilitate effective perception. We can attribute the attainment of knowledge to proper instructional design. One key and fundamental component of these designs involves the establishment of a course outline. Consequently, this project targets on establishing an effective outline to guide the teaching of a course in a five-week e-learning class. In a bid to perform this task, I will make a comprehensive description of the outline that will include the objectives, pedagogies, and outcomes. Course Description The course will involve delivery of knowledge about excretion in animals. Apparently, students understand the basic facts of
The historians have long expected the wonderful shock on the French revolution had on western development and society. The revolution brought about many changes in the society generally not only in France but in other countries. For instance many of the ideas of democracy taken for granted in many parts of the world today like the freedom and impartiality of individuals, the importance of written establishments in supervision of a country, and government by depiction are some of the legacies of the French revolutions (Loosely, 2003). When the French armies walked in Europe a rising intelligence of national awareness in many countries developed, this was after occupying parts of Italy and Germany, napoleon come together with the independent countries that in turn shaped the need for coming together in both countries. Due to this the people in the other countries learned new cultural behaviors and ways of lifestyle from the French people. The things learned not only influenced the kind of lifestyle this people had but also the kind of music that was being played in the society. Also the attitude towards Christian churches changed and people were against the Christian church in France, this also indicated a vital transformation in the rouse of the revolution since there were things that were highly valued like Christianity that no longer received the kind of respect they had before (Loosely, 2003). The French revolution commenced in 1789 as a considerable disorder in the human being record. The group that shaped it wanted to create a new method of human civilization, do away with the higher course, and to make all the people the same prior to the judgment. They also wanted to do away with the Christianity as well as the aged fashion of the existence of the week and naming the years from the birth of Christ. By that time they formed a new trust of the extreme life form and a new method of undo festival (Enrico & Heffron, 2008). While the changes took place during the French revolution, music played an important responsibility in the consequent conflict site and the heads took it fatally. Because of the role music played during this period, music gained a different meaning and it was taken to be important in the society. They also understood it as the key tool for unreliable the way people thought and experienced. By that time a new rule was put forcing viewers to sing republican songs in theatres sooner than operas were carried out, this influenced and changed the kind of music that was known and that was practiced (Enrico & Heffron, 2008). All this was put across after a school was situated to educate both the new army and the national guards in 1795 by that time singers got a complete ability to create more than 1300 songs between 1789 and 1800. The kind of songs that were sung at this period was different from the songs that were sung before revolution. The French revolution changed completely the kind of music and contents during this period of time. The le Marseill
On Christmas Eve 2010, my phone rang at 10:45 PM. The voice on the other end was the peer-officer support coordinator for a nearby police department. One of their police officers had not shown up for work that evening. For sometime, he had been involved in disciplinary action on the job and others were aware of his personal challenges. The patrol sergeant decided to drive to his house for a welfare check and when hr arrived, the front door was open as if the owner knew someone would be stopping by. After calling out his name several times, the sergeant slowly navigated herself through the house that offered very little light. As she looked to her right, she saw the officer lying on the floor by the bathroom doorway. “Maybe he fell and hit his head,” she thought, or “Did he have a heart attack?” but as she got closer, she noticed the pool of blood next to his head and his service weapon lying next to his body. Her suspicions were right; he had taken his own life. She radioed dispatch for medics and supervisors to respond to his address. As the information blasted over the radio, dispatch and other officers who heard the call, knew what had happened. The above incident depicts how police officers commit suicide due to stressful circumstances related to their job coupled with personal issues. Recent statistics carried out in the United States showed that, New York State ranks third after California and New Jersey consecutively in the rates of suicide incidences among police officers. According to Eagle (2005), “police officers are eight times more likely to die by suicide than by homicide, and they are three times more likely to die by suicide than from accidental causes” (p.1). Hence, high incidence rates of suicide among police officers as compared to general population are due to traumatic experiences of their job. Police suicides occur for a variety of reasons, which may include work or personal stress, critical incidents, substance abuse, and financial issues, as well as failed relationships, which enhance trauma and subsequent suicidal feelings. It is important to note that, however, the role that the stigma attached to seeking help plays in pushing officers to make the decision to end their lives is significant. Robert Douglas, Jr., executive director of the National Police Suicide Foundation notes that, about 97% of police suicides occur by service weapons. This implies that availability of weapons in police service can be a predisposing factor that contributes to high incidence rates of police suicide in the population. I agree with the thinking that an officer’s gun becomes his best friend and it is an officer’s first defense in protecting his or her life. Since police officers depend on their guns when doing their jobs, when they make decision to commit suicide, they use the available weapon, the gun. Statistical studies confirm that despite introduction of several preventive measures to counsel and educate police officers, the incidence rates of suicide among police officers are still high. Eagle (2005) reports that, “the police suicide rate is 17 for every 100,000 officers c
Introduction This essay will explore the law regarding minimum wage in the United States of America, as well as advantages and disadvantages of increasing wage such as beneficial incentives, derailed job growth, and improved job security among others. The essay will also discuss the history of minimum wage law. In addition, it will explain labor union laws and efficient wages. Minimum wage refers to the least possible salary that employees get from their employers depending on the agreed payment structure (Waltham 20). Employees use various payment structures to offer employees remuneration depending on amount of work done per hour, day, or month. Minimum wage is a crucial element in the labor market because it provides the lowest salary at which employees would be willing to trade their labor. Benefits of having a limit on minimum wage include improved welfare of workers, observance of equality in recruitment, high employee morale in the workplace, as well as improved efficiency and service delivery for business and organizations (Waltham 27). However, despite these benefits, criticisms have been lodged against availability of minimum wage. Critics, most of whom apply concepts developed in the neo-classical theory of economics, believe that minimum wage results in low employee output, increased unemployment due to inexperience, and biasness in the recruitment process. Minimum wage is an important aspect of any labor market, as it improves job standards and equality in the labor market. Minimum Wage Law Minimum wage law is simply a decree passed to prohibit employers from paying workers less than a specifically set amount of minimum wage (Waltham 35). At first, this law applied only to women and children, although it later extended its coverage to include the general labor force. Violations of this law attract a fine of up to 10,000 USD, and an additional fine of 1,100 USD per extra violation (Lee 78). To understand state minimum wage law, we need to understand where the federal wages law originated. It first originated in Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) that President Franklin Roosevelt signed on June 25, 1938. During that time, the minimum wage was set at a minimum of 25 cents per hour, which is equal to around 4 dollars. At first, this law only covered 38 percent of the labor force, but it continuously grew over the years, and now covers almost 85 percent of our labor force (Lee 80). Since then, revision of wage limits has happened for approximately twenty two times. The FLSA requires employers to follow the state minimum wage law, which is usually set higher than the federal law. The current provisions under this law in the United States of America require employers to provide a minimum of $7.25 for every hour an employee offers his/her labor. These provisions have been applicable since 2009 when the last revision of the law happened. There are various wage categories covered under this law. Student wage category covers students below the age of 18 who work during school sessions or over the holidays (Lee 88). Another category is the home workers wage that covers individuals paid for work done from their respective homes.
Health professionals have continuously used a multiplicity of analytical tools to assist them to understand the causes of particular health conditions in the context of why and how such health risks arise. One such tool is called the Root Cause Analysis (RCA), which is principally used to address a particular problem with the aim to get to the “root cause” of why and how such problem exists. In other words, the RCA is used to correct or eradicate the causes with a view to preventing a particular problem from ever happening again (Root Cause Analysis, n.d.). This paper purposes to use a Fishbone (RCA) diagram to identify five major categories of contributing causes and three reasons under each category as causes for patient falls. A fishbone diagram will inarguably assist health practitioners to brainstorm possible causes of patient falls and undertake further analysis to synthesize factors that may be contributing either directly or indirectly to the problem of patient falls. Based on the stated objective of this particular paper, the fishbone diagram would appear as follows (see next page): In analyzing the fishbone diagram, it is important to underline that about 14% of all falls in hospital settings are accidental, another 8% occurs as a result of unanticipated physiologic causes, while 78% are occasioned by anticipated physiologic causes (Morse, 2009). These orientations form the major categories of patient falls in hospital settings. However, Morse (2009) notes that the age factor should be included as an independent category, principally because the majority of the patients who fall consist of the elderly. As such, it is imperative to evaluate the core age-related causes related to patient falls in the hospital. Still, the Joint Commission Resources (2007) is of the opinion that disease-related causes of patient falls shoul
The use of unusual creative tactics in TV commercials which have little relevance to the product or service being advertised and why creative personnel in agencies advocate and defend their use. Since most television commercials rely heavily on very unusual creative tactics, creative personnel in agencies always have to defend their use of these tactics. In most cases, their defense is met by some criticism. To measure the strength and weaknesses of their arguments, one needs to look at the results of the use of unusual creative tactics. The rationale is that there will not be any positive result if they are not effective, but since more and more unusual creative tactics are being created each passing day across the world, it shows they achieve the desired effect. One of these tactics that help cut through the usual clutter is the use of PR stunts in television commercials, (McKenna, 1991 p. 65-70). For instance, a golfer who enters the Guinness Book of Records for teeing across the Himalayas for 90 days would attract lots of media, such as CNN, BBC, NBC, and other online and offline media, thus being an effective marketing tool if it is done by a company, while the budget would be exceedingly low compared to the result. Since most of these unusual creative tactics utilize cutting-edge digital technology, they can influence the customer or consumer as they creatively create one of the most memorable brand experiences. The most significant advantage of these tactics is that they target small sizes, which is an advantage. Entrepreneurs and small organizations can market and receive publicity easily as compared to large companies. Even huge companies can engineer these tactics and capture even small markets. These tactics are also formulated in such a way that they make a direct pitch while seemingly solving a problem, or just offer a unique product for a better price (Fallon & Sinn, 2006 p. 77). The most fundamental advantage of these unusual tactics is that they make use of human psychology imbued in creativity rather than judgment, guesswork, or experience. For instance, the Honda Accord advert depicts a series of creative aspects that are eye-catching and very motivating towards considering such a vehicle as a perfect emblem of ingenuity. The advert attractively makes use of technology while it’s one of its selling points. A significant disadvantage is on the efforts required to improve the commercial if need be, costing lots of money since it has to be re-shot, re-edited and another script created. Some of these unusual creative tactics sometimes fail to sell the product to the consumer, thus being a waste of money and innovation. Role of integrated marketing communications in the brand-building process and how marketers are changing the way they build strong brands with two (2) examples from 2009 or 2010. Integrated marketing communications (IMC) plays a huge part in the brand-building process. I
Introduction Any time people discuss the 2007 global financial crisis, the housing issues emerge. The simple term is that between 2000 and 2007, banks across the world that should practice borrower regulations gave out many loans than any other time in history. When this happened, the banks had the assurance that many people would repay the loans at high interest rates. It meant that banks owned fixed assets in people who promised to repay the loans over a certain period. Since banks made a lot of money in the 7-year period, they began acquiring land for construction of industrial and residential properties. According to Matthews, Giuliodori, and Mishkin 2013 (2013, p. 24), the mortgage services offered by banks were very expensive, but the banks created a necessity in the real estate industry, making it almost impossible to ignore the need for home ownership. Life became unbearable for citizens who had to repay loans at overwhelmingly high interest rates while struggling to acquire the expensive mortgage services. The overburdened citizens who acquired the loan could no longer pay back the money to the bank, as well as pay the mortgage offered. This led to a global financial crisis whose impact people still feel today. The period led to the collapse of major real estate industries in the world including those in the US and the Middle East. Causes of the global financial crisis that started in 2007 The factors that caused the global financial crisis of 2007 remain debatable across the world. Three significant elements stand out; a transition in one led to another component. For instance, bank lending led to an increase in the cost of mortgage services while the same led to a decrease in the number of borrowers capable of repaying the loans. When one problem transformed into another, it became evident that things would get out of hand for the world 7 years later. For instance, by 2000, most banks made a lot of money from customer savings and loan acquisition. It became clear that people developed consciousness toward investment in property, especially in the real estate market. Between 2000 and 2007, banks made profits totalling $44 trillion by investing with developing countries (Thomas 2006, p. 40). Evidently, the IMF made the greatest amount of money by acquiring funds from the developing countries that borrowed the funds. In addition, countries sold out bonds to other nations and increased income mostly used for infrastructural development. The 7-year period marked a very busy financial session for most banks, countries, as well as individuals. For instance, the US Treasury Bonds received an overwhelming attention from developing countries, meaning that they increased their debt margins largely in the 7-year period. (Matthews et al. 2013, p. 33) The three reasons mostly discussed when the topic comes up are illustrated below. Trade irregularities and negligent lending procedures When people acquire loans from ba
