The speaker in the poem ‘My Mistress’ Eyes are Nothing like the Sun’ by Shakespeare, is a man trying to find the exact reason for the immense love that he feels for his lover. The speaker honestly admits that even though his lover has many flaws, he is still madly in love with her. The speaker fully understands the shortcomings of his lover but still admits that he loves her just the way a man can love any other woman. The language used by the poet is one that seeks to portray his lover as an ordinary woman who has won his love. A poet is probably a man who has stayed with his woman lover for some time to the extent that he understands her weaknesses. He speaks of a love that is deeper than just a mere attraction of superficial beauty. This fact points out that theirs is a mature love that values what is on the inside and not the outside of a person. The speaker seems to speak out his thoughts at a time when he is meditating about his lover and the love he has for her. The poem creates a picture of the poet sitting in a quiet place and contemplating this issue. The thoughts of the speaker seem to be provoked by a possible disagreement between him and his lover. This poem indicates that there is nothing special about her. Further, she has nothing out of the ordinary that makes him stay with her other than his love. The main theme that comes out in this poem is love. The speaker describes his love for the woman as one that is not attached to her outer beauty. It is therefore evident that his lover lacks the essential features that are normally emphasized by other poets. She is a simple woman who has won his love. The theme of reality is also emphasized in this poem. This is evidenced where the speaker chooses to be realistic with his lover’s physical appearance. Instead of heaping false praises on her beauty, the poet boldly declares that she cannot be compared to other beautiful things in nature. The speaker exhibits the hypocrisy in other men who attach magical and unimaginable beauty to their lovers. The speaker says that although he does not falsely praise his lover, he still loves her in the greatest way possible. He, therefore, does not see the need for lying about his lover’s beauty because it will not change the fact that he deeply loves her. If anything, the speaker prefers to be honest with his lover so that she can be awar
Introduction In trying to develop a deeper understanding of the criminological theories, this research paper will undertake to review a film Murder on a Sunday Morning. The film was directed by a Frenchman known as Jean-Xavier De Lestrade. The film was produced in the year 2001. The film talks about a young African American boy who is accused of stealing from an old woman and then killing her in Florida. The American woman was a tourist. The film chronicles the details of proceedings of the trial of the young African-American. It shows the inability and prejudice of the policing agencies in Jacksonville (Harris, 2002). Cast The casts include Mary Anne Stephens, A 65-year-old woman who was killed in Florida and Mr. Stephens, her husband; Brenton Butler, a 15-year-old African American accused of killing Mrs. Stephens; Patrick McGuiness is the accused attorney. The detectives from Jacksonville include Nat Glover, Williams and Darnel. Plot and Analysis The movie begins when Mary Anne Stephens is murdered on Sunday morning when she is on vacation with her husband in Florida. The police carry out a soup in order to net the suspect whose descriptions are given as short black skinny boy donning a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. The policemen undertake to search the neighborhood looking for suspicious characters (Ceci and Bruck, 1993). In the process, they come across a fifteen year old boy who had gone to pick his job application letter. The police apprehend this boy because he is black and is wearing a dark shirt. To them this boy fits the description that they were given by the witness. The boy gets arrested and is taken to the scene of crime for questioning by the detectives. The detectives also think the boy might have taken part in crime because he lives around. Butler is taken to Mr. Stephen and confirmed as the suspect (Clancy et al, 2000). The police thus stop to facilitate further investigation in this issue (Cole, 2009). The detectives never bother to inform the suspect’s family about his arrest, they do not contemplate factoring in the issue of murder weapon that might have been used to kill the suspect live alone Mrs. Stephen’s purse. The evidence that can be used to convict the teenager for having killed the victim is very little (Lockhart V. McCree). There is only one witness in the name of Mr. Stephens, who happens to be the victim’s husband, which the prosecution has. Butler’s predicament is not unique as it shows a society where racial profiling flourishes in its entirety. The film shows one Patrick McGuiness, a lawyer who chooses to be a public defender rather than use his skills to make some good money for himself. He undertakes t
Introduction Politics can be described as the process of allocating resources in the society to different individuals. The resources include power, favor, and money among others. The reason why politics is so central in this process is due to the fact that these resources are in limited supply, while demand is high. For example, only one individual can become a president of a country at a time. This been the case, a great deal of persuasion tactics are employed by the individual seeking the high office to influence the electorate to select him. Politics is also involved with the desire of one party to wield influence over another. In this case, the party seeking influence makes sure that their target of influence acts in ways that are beneficial to them. A presidential candidate seeks to influence the electorate to install them in office, an act that is beneficial to them. Politics are not confined to presidential elections and lobbying sectors of the society. Holmes (2006) is of the view that almost all instances that involve interaction of human beings have political undertones. One party is always seeking to influence the other. The office is such one place where politicking is rife. This process takes place when certain individuals in the organization wish to influence how organizational resources will be distributed (Brenner, 2005). The organizational resources are scarce. They include budgetary allocation, promotions among others. Given this scenario, it is very important for any project manager or developer to have sufficient political skills to enable them influence the decisions of other people in the organization to support their project. Pinto (2000) is of the view that project managers need to influence people that they have no authority over to support their projects. These include their supervisors, sponsors among others. As such, a project manager needs to have political skills to achieve success for their project. This is a white paper report detailing a plan to influence the management to provide technical and financial support for an IT project. This support is a scarce resource given that the organization has carried out downsizing procedures in the recent past. As such, a detailed political plan to influence the management is needed. Summary of the Project that needs to be funded An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project has already been formulated. The project is a computer based system that will be used by the organization to manage both external and internal resources at its disposal. These include tangible assets such as vehicles, buildings among others. It also includes financial and human resources of the organization. Intangible resources such as customer loyalty and inter-departmental communication can also be managed through ERP. The project seeks to centralize
Langton Hughes, an acknowledged poet of the Harlem Renaissance, dedicated his poetry to highlighting the inequality plight and racial discrimination of African American people. His literary works were focusing on every day life of African Americans, as well as on the hardships they had to overcome on the way to freedom and equality. Specific attention should be given to three poems – “The Weary Blues”, “Harlem (Dream Deferred)”, and “I, Too”. These poetical pieces embody Hughes’s great concerns with the future of black people living in the United States. Despite the adversities, the poets’ works reflect his hope for the better future of his people, as well as for his aspiration to liberate black people from the constant pressure of the prejudiced society. The tone and spirit of the poems display the author’s frustration with the fate of African Americans. In particular, the poem “The Weary Blues” emphasizes the importance of music in lives of ordinary people. The unique combination of music and poetry uncovers the musician’s frustration with his societal disposition. In the poetry, the difficulty and ambiguity of the language denotes the speaker’s depression and inability to fight with the unjust treatment: “Ain’t got nobody but ma self. I’s gwine quit my frowin’…I ain’t happy no more” ( The Weary Blues 19-20; line 29). The plight of poverty and social instability of African Americans, therefore, is closely associated with poem’s deliberation on the historical past revealing the eternal confrontation between white and black. The symbolic representation of piano’s white and black keys highlights the complex relations between the two peoples. In addition, because the poem is the brightest example of Harlem period, the presence of musical elements contributes to the genre and mood of the poem. The work looks more like lyrics that should be set to music. The presence of jazz rhythm endows Hughes’s poems with African-American spirituality and hope that dreams should come true. In Harlem , the author emphasizes the importance of dreaming of better future because this feeling ignites people’s aspiration to fight against racial discrimination and stereotyping. At this point, Hughes wishes the residents of Harlem to continue dreaming and strives to ignite their ambitions in order not to provoke social unrest. At the same time, the poem provides negative comparisons of the deferred dreams with “fester like a sore”, “raisin in the sun”, or “rotten meat” ( Harlem 2, 3, 4). In such a way, the author signifies the delay of dreams and the depression among the African Americans concerning the inevitability of social pressure, poverty, and discrimination. The author recognizes that his people is captured in the cage of stereotypes and prejudices and, as a result, it reveals his disappointment through the poem. The dream theme is also represented in Hughes another literary masterpiece called I, Too revealing Hughes’ deliberation on the problem of slavery and liberation of the African Americans from pressure of the whites. Despite the presented hardships, the poet desperately believes in a happy and j
Summary Due to massive representation in mass media, the FBI remains one of the few government organizations that rarely needs an introduction. Located in Washington, DC, FBI, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, provides domestic security services and performs intelligence operations in the U.S. setting. The FBI strives to enforce criminal legislation in the U.S. and offer leadership in the context of the state criminal justice. In addition, protection against terrorism is one of the top priorities of the FBI. The organization has also been safeguarding the state and its citizens from foreign intelligence. Moreover, with the rise in the intensity of cybercrime, the FBI has been focusing on addressing the issue of cybersecurity in the American community as well (The Federal Bureau of Investigation, n.d.). Protecting citizens from terrorism and cybercrimes remains the FBI’s top priority at present. Therefore, the FBI represents an important force in the U.S. legal system. The organization’s main mission is to ensure the security and safety of citizens, whereas its vision encompasses the world without terrorism and the related threats to people’s well-being. Therefore, the goals that the FBI pursues are quite noble and, overall, people-oriented. Nonetheless, while the normative ethics within the FBI could be considered as passable, the applied ethics may fail to meet expectations accordingly due to the emphasis on accomplishing a particular operation rather than avoiding harming parties involved at all costs. Importance of Ethics Ethics plays a vital role in the development of workplace relationships and managing one’s roles and responsibilities in the FBI. Representing law enforcement, one is provided with a substantial amount of power over others, which can easily be used for one’s personal gain or ill will. Therefore, to ensure that others remain safe and that one does not overstep one’s authority, ethical standards are crucial in the FBI. For instance, during arrests, FBI members must be wary of the necessity to comply with the rights of the apprehended person. Apart from being a crucial requirement for working at the FBI, compliance with ethical standards will also help an FBI officer and,

The highest proportion
Introduction It is quite a complicated question whether the UK really has a constitution in its modern sense. Back in the 18th century it was not even a question; the British constitution was recognized and celebrated for its democratic spirit, particularly by French Enlighteners and some of the American Founding Fathers. But since the Americans have decided to write down their principles of government into a document and to call it “Constitution,” and a lot of other countries, such as the newly-freed Latin American colonies, followed their example, the term “constitution” is mostly associated with a document. As the UK does not have a single document of such a kind, it is sometimes claimed that the country does not have a constitution at all. First of all, the definition of a constitution is not merely “a document containing the principles of government,” as some consider. Constitution is principles of government as they are, written down or not. To be a constitution, these principles must determine the relationship between different governmental institutions, as well as between government and people, and people’s rights and freedoms. A careful study of the sources of the UK principles of government reveals that all the three mentioned issues are covered by these sources. Political activists in the UK keep making suggestions to codify the constitution, but in each case their suggestions contain an offer to alter it, and only then codify. To my opinion, the processes of amendment and codification should not be mixed. Hence, the UK has a constitution, even though it is not codified, and the requirements to codify it has nothing to do with its validity as an acting constitution. The Definition of a Constitution The first step to find out whether the UK has a constitution is to determine what exactly constitution is. According to Oxford Dictionary of law, “constitution” is defined as “the rules and practices that determine the composition and functions of the organs of central and local government in a state and regulate the relationship between the individual and the state” (Martin, 2003, p. 108). The dictionary entry further mentions that the majority of the countries dispose of a written document as their constitution. One of the main properties of such a disposal is a possibility to alter a constitution through a special procedure, whereas no such procedures are needed to change the statutes, of which the UK constitution partly consist. However, it also consists of common law rules and constitutional conventions (Martin, 2003, p. 108), which are hard or impossible to amend. Constitution establishes principles that dictate who is allowed to make laws and how, what should be
Synergon Capital, a large financial-services American company, successfully makes acquisitions in a quite aggressive manner. However, after the acquisition of Beauchamp, a British financial-services company, the situation is challenging. The companies do not get on well: Synergon follows its way and imposes changes while Beauchamp continues to resist them. A. The Beauchamp acquisition is challenging because of the cultural differences. While companies’ authorities and employees normally do culture training, they rarely focus on the locals and pay more attention to those who relocate to different cultures (Minguet et al. 4). Synergon is the company with a typically American approach: they demonstrate inclemency, vigour, and decisiveness. Every detail proves they perceive their work as war: bowie knives, “war rooms”, calling the diligence teams “commando squads”, and the “take no prisoners” approach that is reflected in firing most of the acquired company’s management staff within a year (Cliffe par. 5). In comparison, Beauchamp policy differs in terms of power distribution: the company’s managing director, Julian Mansfield, is similar to an old-fashioned patriarch (Cliffe par. 19). As the leader, he plays a significant role for the whole company as well as the external organizations that know him for his charity. The British tend to be more reserved, formal, and stiff; they value traditions and have a specific sense of humour (Meyer 45). The use of language may be different: while the Americans are usually direct and speak up, their British colleagues are inclined to be less straightforward. As a result, the communication failure is present. Despite the problems, it is possible to cope with them by giving Beauchamp more freedom. Synergon usually deals with acquisitions when one company is purchased by the other, but no new company is formed; however, a merger, a combination of two companies that forms a new one, might be more advantageous (Whitaker 101). Even if Synergon decides not to merge, it should allow Beauchamp to voice its opinion and carry out its policy to a greater extent. B. First and foremost, I would thoroughly investigate
Introduction The purpose and objective of this research essay is to assess the theory and practice of strategic planning for tourism with a particular focus on New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country that has a human population of four million inhabitants. Tourism has become an important income and export earner for the economic growth of the country. It currently contributes $18.6 billion dollars to the economy which is 9 percent of New Zealand’s gross domestic product. The country receives 2.4 million visitors in one year from different parts of the world. The highest numbers are from the United Kingdom which accounts for 12 percent of tourist visitors followed by the United States which accounts for 9 percent of tourist visitors and China which accounts for 5 percent of tourist visitors from the Asian continent. When these tourist markets are combined they represent 69 percent of the international visitors who go to New Zealand for their holidays (Statistics New Zealand 2010). The most popular tourist destinations in New Zealand include Rotorua, Queenstown, Kaikoura, Waitomo Caves and Milford Sound. The country has also been identified as a clean and green escapade playground with archetypal vacation destinations including the Abel Tasman National Park, Milford Sound and the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The most common holiday activities that are common in New Zealand include bungee jumping, whale watching, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, adventure tourism, camping and nature trail walks. The country also offers adventure tourism and active travel in its various destinations. Adventure tourism includes hiking and walking activities which can be done in the Milford Sound track or the Te Araroa Trail while visitors view the various types of nature (Middleton et al 2009). The country has been voted as a top holiday destination as evidenced by the many awards it has received such as the most favourite destination in 2008 by readers of the Conde Nast Traveler magazine. It was also named the best overseas holiday destination by The Daily Telegraph in 2007. Tourism activities have increased in the country as a result of the extensive marketing campaigns the country has conducted so as to increase the number of visitors to the country. These advertising campaigns that were initiated by the Tourism Board of New Zealand saw the number of international visitors to New Zealand increase by 61 percent (Middleton et al 2009). Literature Review on Strategic Tourism Planning Tourism is said to be the largest economic industry for most countries around the world. As the global economy continues to grow, more and more people are able to afford international travel and holidays to foreign countries around the world. According to the World Trade Organization (2005), more than 760 milli
