The poem by Van Jordan reflects the comparison of the female body with different phenomena and things. To reach the necessary figurativeness, the writer makes use of such stylistic devices as a metaphor that manages to convey the mystery of writing a poem. The comparison made by the author highlight the unusual vision of the woman as the main purpose of it is to consecrate her and to elevate her beauty. The main comparison involved in the poem is the identification of the woman with the poem itself. From the first lines of the verse, we see the author’s gentle attitude to women. Hence, Jordan puts the question: “What better light to write to write by than a woman’s body filled with her spirit and her mother’s wit” (1: 1-3). By this, he sees a woman as the source of inspiration and creativity. The further description reveals the comparison of a woman’s body with the moon and a song. In the next lines, he shows the female superiority over mankind: “that body ….is a song that plays freely in mind that makes a man hum” (2: 4-7). The identification of the woman with nature personifies the innocent beauty that is given from above. In the line “a willow breathing within his ear?” (6:16), the author compares a woman’s hair with the fragile branches of the willow. That metaphor significantly helps the reader to enlarge their imagination and to perceive a veritable picture of female splendor. It not only involves the reader into the greatest mystery of a woman’s world but also helps to cognate a woman’s psychological nature. In the poem, the writer also touches upon the problems of the relationship between a man and a woman. The last phrase shows the complexity of the expression of love by a man for a woman. Therefore, “he picks up the pen” (7: 22) as if mere words are not perfect enough to address the woman since only a poem can be worth the woman’s approval and deserve her attention. The writer is aware that “she’s never told him that she loves him” since the words are too primitive to express the whole power of love. Only using gestures and view, one could recognize this veritable feeling. With the help of metaphors, the writer intends to emphasize the enigmatic nature of females whose soul is the labyrinth of hidden and sophisticated thoughts where man is helpless to solve this puzzle. The elevation of women to a divine creature makes her unavailable for a rational perception. From Jordon’s point of view, a metaphorical comparison with a song is rather successful since it renders the depth of the woman’s inner world. As we can see, the author compares the woman with three things: the song, the poem, and nature. To my mind, these three things could be inherent components of female beauty. The song is her soul, nature is the way she looks, and the poem is the way she loves.
In my perception, the free-rein leadership style is the most suitable for me as it includes a high level of freedom and individual decision-making among employees and the opportunity to look at problems from different perspectives. It suits me due to my creative skills and powerful leadership attitude. Moreover, it is effective in the long term and allows workers to increase their professional qualifications by working independently and finding new innovative ways of achieving set goals. Hence, under such a leadership style, the working environment tends to be more motivating, less competitive, encouraging to do the given tasks, perform the needed functions, and improve creative thinking. In my understanding, leaders who exercise this leadership style generally possess certain characteristic traits. They might include intelligence, extroversion, openness to experience, effective communication skills, charisma, creativity, achievement motivation, and general problem-solving skills. Such qualities are needed for establishing a motivated working environment, implementing creativity in problem-solving, introducing new techniques of effective decision-making, and reaching excellent working results. Additionally, despite this freedom in decision-making and choosing the ways of goal achievement, the leader needs to have a strong charisma, persuasive skills, and a strong personality to be able to lead and direct individuals. According to Fahlevi et al. (2019), a free rein leader should support employees with resources and advice but do not get too much involved in their operations. That is why I believe that the free-rein leadership style is suitable for me as I am a strong extravert with great interpersonal skills and I like being creative and innovative by doing my tasks. Diverse historic personalities utilized this leadership style, for example, Elon Mask. He is well known as the CEO of Tesla and is famous because of his innovative ideas in space travelling. For instance, although the idea of travelling to Mars exists more than 50 years and was described in many science-fiction books and scholarly articles, Elon Mask made it a global goal in that society is interested. According to Fahlevi et al. (2019), when employees are not motivated enough, it will disharmonize the working environment and can lead to unwanted levels of employee turnover. Hence, free rein leaders generally do not control employees; their main function is motivating individuals in achieving common goals that matter for the organization.

Introduction A synthesis project across various disciplines, Thomas Dutton and Liam Hurst Mann’s necessary disclosure and social practices , tends to be risky. Just like all interdisciplinary works, it entails a risk of being in an undisciplined state. As such, it stands under-dress in the eyes of an expert audience. However, the article positions itself as a risk subject to interest. This is because; it lays the foundation for further details and analysis that has been developed or extended. I tend to find this article fascinating as I share most of their concerns, such as resistance and politics of hope. Moreover, I am interested in the notion of postmodern new right designers. Therefore, this response will put less criticism on the article other than attempting to give an extension of the work to compromise more rich reading with texture as the value shifting and methods that inform the theories and practices in the architectural discipline. Social Architecture In social Architecture, considering the past two decades, it has hugely impacted social concern. This emphasis was necessitated by experimentation in the profession, field professionalization, post-modernism reaction, environmental consciousness expansion, and the recession in the whole world. Architecture, recognized as social, has become a central part of architectural culture’s core production. However, due to the emergence of new sects in architecture, complications within the profession, contradictions, and paradoxes are surfacing together with ambiguity related to power and politics. The question arising from what is advanced by this article includes; how individuals come to terms with the perspective sets that are complex? If the humanitarian design is not the community’s vision, then is it contemporary imperialism? Where is the voice of the client? What roles do the architects play? Architectural Ethnographic Polaroid An extended critique is vital as it interrogates the humanitarian design, which is emerging, and the sustainability of the environment approaches. An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives in movements of architecture should be enhanced. This is also important in bridging the paradox in the creation of spaces of emancipation. Comparing the available representation wit
Bhagavad Gītā is commonly referred to as Gita . It is a Hindu scripture that was originally written in Sanskrit. It was part of the Mahabharata , a Hindu epic. It has 700 verses in total. The Gita was set in form of a narrative. It is in the form of a dialogue. On one side is Arjuna. He is the prince of Pandava. The other party is Krishna. He is the prince’s guide and companion (Besant, 2009). At the time the exchange was taking place, the prince had resolved to fight a religious war between Pandavas and Kauravas. As usual, Arjuna is seeking the counsel of Krishna. The guide advises him to fulfill his duty as a warrior. In Bhagavad Gītā, Krishna highlights the possibilities of salvation by means of Yoga. He describes yoga as one type of spiritual connectivity. To this end, he analyzes how people take actions without taking into consideration their outcomes and consequences. According to Krishna, this brings about purification of the mind. Only a mind that is free from desire (or which is purified) is capable of engaging in constant meditation. To support these claims, Krishna states that desire often results in imagination (Mukerji, 2009). As a result, the soul will be driven to the field of action. For this reason, no one is capable of achieving permanent tranquility and freedom without first having to denounce their desires. According to Krishna, the higher self must control its lower counterpart (Mukerji, 2009). In this case, one must be in control of their senses, body, and mind. Krishna refers to those people who have achieved this form of purity as Sannyasins or Yogis . It is noted that a Yogi is united with God. As such, they see God in all beings and objects around them. Such a person sees no differences between gold and stone, the righteous and the unrighteous, as well as friends and enemies. Krishna’s sermon to Arjuna suits the larger context of Mahabharata. According to Flood (2006), Mahabharata places a lot of emphasis on the four goals of life. The objectives are often referred to as purusharthas . The four are Dharma, Artha , Kāma , and Mokṣa . The first, Dharma, refers to righteousness. It is mainly associated with adherence to moral values. Artha, on the other hand, revolves around economic prosperity. The goal of Kāma touches on love and other pleasures of life. As a goal in life, Mokṣa holds that people should seek liberation and spiritual values (Besant, 2009). In Mahabharata, Mokṣa is considered to be the most important value for humans. It is the same value that is pursued through meditation and Yoga. At the time Krishna was preaching to Arjuna, war had broken out between kinsmen. The war is between two groups of cousins originating from Kuru, an Indo-Aryan kingdom. The Kauravas and Pandavas are fighting for control over the Hastinapura throne. Arjuna is the prince of Pandava (Mukerji, 2009). After the sermon given by Krishna, he finds himself in a dilemma. He is confused on whether to fight the war or seek for peace between the two rival groups. In Mahabharata, Dharma is considered to be the most important goal in life during conflicts (Mukerji, 2009). As a result of Krishna’s sermon, the two parties explo
Title The title of the article “From Moral Supporters to Struggling Advocates. Reconceptualizing Parent Roles in Education Through the Experience of Working-Class Families of Color” by Susan Auerbach describes the study in detail. The key words such as “parent involvement, college access, secondary education, high school, Latino education, educational equity” give the idea of the key concepts that are discussed in the article (Auerbach 250). The title is concise with all meaningful words. Abstract The abstract presents the purpose of the study (to reveal the role of marginalized parents in promoting children’s access to education), method (qualitative case study), and findings. It does not reveal the variables because they were not defined for this research. The major findings are reflected in the abstract. On the whole, the abstract provides enough information for readers to decide if the article is within their interests. Introduction The research problem is not clearly identified, but still it is explained in the introduction. This problem is significant because it can contribute to “a more inclusive discourse on families, schooling, and equity” (Auerbach 251). The author provides a theoretical rationale for the study analyzing previous researchers of parent involvement into the education of their children. The conceptual framework of the study is appropriate to the research problem because the author claims the work is based on a three-part, interdisciplinary framework and a concept of parent role construction (Auerbach 254). The researcher supposed that parent participation in children’s education is “socially structured by class and race,” culturally mediated by particular cultural schemas and scripts,” and “psychosocially enacted according to individual psychosocial resources and relationships within families” (Auerbach 254). The research question concerning the construction of the role of marginalized parents in promoting access to educational opportunities for their children is logical in the light of the conceptual framework. The hypothesis and research questions are not clearly stated while research questions are clear from the context. The method and setting section is a logical continuation of the literature review. Method The sample is clearly described including social and ethnical context. The sample is relatively small (10 parents from 11 families) but is purposefully selected. The method of in-depth interview does not allow to involve a big sample because of data procession complexity. The interviewing process was made comf
9/11 Commission’s Major Recommendations for Reforming the Intelligence Community One recommendation of the 9/11 Commission to reform the Intelligence Community was the separation of its two arms, the Intelligence Committee and CIA Management. This was aimed at reducing conflicts within the Intelligence Community when gathering information. Similarly, the 9/11 commission was to ensure that the president and congress are able to make informed decisions on national security and foreign policies. 1 This was to be effected through the Weapons of Mass Destruction and IRTPA recommendations. Another recommendation is that the Director of National Intelligence was to provide more analytical resources to enhance the tactical and strategic intelligence aimed at understanding and countering insurgency in Iraq. Currently, the Director of National Intelligence is required to engage in the daily activities of the Intelligence Community fully. It is recommended that the Intelligence Community needs to improve the processes of gathering further and analyzing intelligence reports in order to avoid recurrence of major intelligence blunders such as the report that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in its possession. 2 Intelligence management provisions entail an examination of the expected intelligence with both high and low effects, and extenuation plans to help in curtailing the harmful impacts of any unpredictable event; like the 9/11 incidence. Intelligence management plans have to be revised sporadically by the professionals and policymakers to evade having the study become old and not insightful of the real potential hazard and risks from the renowned terrorists. According to 9/11 commission, another critical consideration of intelligence management plans is the inclusion of an intelligence strategy. Generally, there are four major approaches, with several disparities. These include; intelligence avoidance which involves strategies to avoid further terrorist activities, intelligence vindication to diminish the likely impact through intermediary steps, intelligence acceptance that consists in taking the chance of the harmful effect, and the transferring of intelligence information, which involves subcontracting the intelligence recommendations to a third entity that can manage the consequences. For instance, this could be accomplished financially by employing insurance contracts or prevarication dealings or operationally by terrorists. Intelligence management is considered an indefinable term, and it raises contemplations of safety surveys, invasive checkups, subjective regulations, as well as consequences for desecrations. Even though the recommendations made by the 9/11 commission has been largely embraced by the country; the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 has conventionally assumed a more inconsiderate approach toward this subj e ct
Response to the Teacher The importance of intersectionality in fighting for the rights of vulnerable groups is undeniable, and it needs to be incorporated into the process of liberation to ensure that no one is left behind. The notorious refusal of white women to include African American women in the NOW movement impeded the promotion of feminist ideas significantly (Taylor 4). In the described case, intersectionality would have been helpful since it allowed unifying women as an oppressed class within both the dominant (white) and the marginalized (African American) communities. Thus, intersectionality would have introduced greater clarity while allowing for differentiation between the needs of while middle-class and African American lower-class women. At the same time, when an original monolith of a movement, such as BLM, becomes divided into smaller sections, it may lose its power. Specifically, in regard to the BTLM idea, the source of conflict has been obscured as well; while initially, the abhorrent actions of the police against Black people were condemned, the BTLM movement suggests looking at a wider range of sources of attacks, from domestic violence to random acts of violence. The specified goal suggests a much longer fight, in which the victory for the rights of Black people, in general, to be treated by police with dignity would be an important milestone. Response to Lilian The idea of the metaphorical head and neck being mutually dependent on each other is important speculation of which one should take notice. Therefore, I fully agree that it is crucial to remove any traces of bigotry against vulnerable groups in the leadership domain. Tus, the head of any organization or group of people will be able to select the solutions that meet the needs of all those involved, and especially the marginalized groups (Lewis 145). However, the question of how the neck mentioned above could direct the head the required way in case the leader becomes delusional or prejudiced is a rather challenging one. Thus, the promotion of reasonable opinions and social justice must start with citizens as important political agents within the community. It is essential for people to provide support for marginalized groups on political, social, and economic levels so that they could receive the justice that they deserve. Moreover, demanding change in the leadership once the current head shows the signs of discrimination or biases is crucial. Works Cited Lewis, Gavin. ​ WCIV Volume II . Cengage Learning, 2012.

Introduction The project description is associated with the analysis of dwelling functions; construction materials used in the building process, installation system, and house building elements. The component parts and service of the building will be presented with photos and functional requirements description. The domestic house project is based on the construction analysis of a two-store dwelling. This is a traditional two-story house having brick and cavity dwelling. The house was reconstructed 5 years ago with the insertion of additional design and building elements. The paper will be focused on the construction detail description on the basis of its building elements and internal service installation. (Best, and Valence, 2002) The house is located in UK, Poole, Dorset. It is necessary to underline the fact, that the house façade is considered to be a combination of country-style elements. The first floor of the house leads to the big living room; the house has French doors underlining the style of European architecture. At the end of the central hall on the first floor one can see the door leading to the kitchen; here is a family room with having fireplace and cathedral ceiling. It is necessary to note that these rooms form a complete flowing area that is aimed at the rear lawn and the deck overlooking. (MacCollum, 2005) The second floor of the house is open through the main staircase having an open balustrade; the hall of the second floor is quite large and light comprising enough furniture for making the space comfortable for living. According to the house plan, the end of the second-floor hall is open to three bedrooms, having one generous bath. The other end of the hall has a master suite; the bathroom, which has a platform tube, glass shower, and dual vanities, is separated from the bedroom by a dressing area built with walk-in closets.

Introduction About one-third of university students who study in the US is suffering from stress, anxiety, and depression (Novotney, 2014). The life of university students was always said to be different from the lives of children and adults, but the issue was never thought to be as crucial as it is now. Previously the years that people spent studying were considered to be the best period full of joy and entertainment but today the surveys show that their philological well-being worsened tremendously since the beginning of the 21st century (Chao, 2012). It is not a secret that university students can face lots of stress. Still, the fact that “more than 30 percent of those who seek services for mental health issues report that they have seriously considered attempting suicide at some point in their lives, up from about 24 percent in 2010” proves that the problem should receive more attention (Novotney, 2014, p. 36). Of course, it is advantageous that the students have an opportunity to attend counseling when they have some related concerns, as they can receive help. However, it cannot be considered to be normal that almost half of them have the issues they are not able to cope with without the outer help. It is also critical that more than 30 percent of students take medication to manage their day-to-day activities. Considering the statistics that were mentioned, the significance of the problem cannot be denied. When deepening into the subject, many scientists and psychologists believe that the adverse effect on the students’ well-being is caused by the environment they live in and the schedule they have. Still, there are individuals who have another point of view. They underline that poor personal habits are more influential in this perspective. But while they are concerned about the negative impact of sleeping and eating habits on the students’ psychological well-being, the way full schedules and environment affect it should be considered, because overload, social and financial problems cannot be solved by the students’ wish. Academic Overload Many students who have problems while stu
