Revolutions always bring dramatic changes to societies. Some argue that these “explosions” often cause numerous victims and considerable destruction, but, at the same time, they often lead to negative changes in the country. However, my claim is that any revolution brings what people need, i.e. changes, which are often only first steps in reaching peoples’ aims to build a strong society. I believe that revolutions are inevitable cornerstones which help societies develop. It goes without saying that I am against any type of violence and I’d rather support peaceful revolutions, but sometimes violence is unavoidable. It is possible to support my claim considering two examples: two revolutions which took place in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. When reading about revolutions which took place in the seventeenth or eighteenth century I understood that these were the best ways for people to obtain equal rights and equal opportunities. Nonetheless, it is obvious that even now in many countries people have to live in unbearable conditions. When reading newspaper articles and watching news on TV it becomes clear that revolutions are taking place and will happen in future, because revolution is still the only way to fight for peoples’ rights. Fortunately, I live in a country where people enjoy all the necessary rights and have many opportunities, but there is still much to improve. Thus, I understand that it is essential to struggle for worthy living conditions. I would like to consider revolutions which took place in Cuba (in 1940-1950s) and in Egypt (in 2011). Cuban revolution is one of those “explosions” which led to many negative outcomes. People who fought for freedom did not achieve their aim since people of Cuba have been deprived from many rights. Nevertheless, the state obtained sovereignty and corruption in government was defeated. Therefore, this example shows that even though not all (in fact, few) goals of the nation were achieved, many positive changes took place in the society which obtained the necessary experience and can proceed its fight
Light travels and behaves both as a discrete bundle of photon and wave, which explains how the photoelectric effect of electrons works. The effect can be explained as the injection of electrons from the surface of any mental in response to a given wavelength of light. Rablau et al. (2019) explain that the emission of conduction electrons from metals requires voltage at a short wavelength, such as UV light (visible light). In this experiment, the velocity of leading the metal surface is studied from a monochromatic light which proves the wavelength of light is matter and not intensity. The experiment exposes the photocathode to monochromatic radiations with a potential applied to the amplifier to oppose the electron energy emitted. The voltage required to stop the current is proportional to the energy emitted; thus, voltage data is obtained and plotted to obtain the stopping voltage allowing the current to reach zero on the meter. After obtaining the stopping voltages, a straight line plot is generated, the slope is used to obtain the Planck’s constant. Einstein energy equation (1) showed the inverse relation between energy and wavelength, which is equated to voltage and work function. Stopping voltage where it is equal to that of the work function for the electron to be generated; Plotting a graph against the inverse of the corresponding wavelengths; The literature planks constant is 6.626 * 10 ^-34 J.s. The procedure The Photoelectric effect apparatus was set up on a small stack of books making the aperture opening be 7cm above the table to line up with the mercury lamp. A digital voltmeter (physics multimeter) was correctly connected to photoelectric effect apparatus using a red and black patch cord. The red patch cord of the photoelectric effect apparatus was connected to the mA outlet of the voltmeter, while the black patch cord was connected to the COM outlet. A 546 nm filter was placed in front of the aperture on the photoelectric effect apparatus. The mercury lamp was placed directly in front of the opening, and then the lamp was turned on. The photoelectric effect apparatus was set to zero by adjusting the knop counterclockwise with the current reading near zero while the voltage readings were high. The zero knob was adjusted so that the current meter needle was zero. The voltmeter was turned to near-zero with the current meter still displaying current. When the highest current reading was attained, the voltage readings were taken after every 0.5 amps, which were achieved by turning the voltage knob until the needle reached the correct number. At this point, voltage readings were recorded. The measurements were taken until the current dropped to zero. The experiment was repeated while replacing the lamp and filter combination five times. An average voltage at every current reading was obtained. The
The purpose of this report is to prove the need to examine the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions on user experience. In the past, the majority of studies were focused on quantitative indicators reflecting on the number of visits and similar information, whereas this approach is insufficient for predicting the outcomes of the above advancements (Moskowitz et al., 2019). Moreover, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the impact of AI on cognition, the value of data, and people’s satisfaction. Therefore, the presented issue appears to be of high importance for predicting the development of the field and corresponding challenges. I have found and read six sources, which reflect on the topic and are reliable (See references below). I have completed their
Introduction Adult education encompasses the alternative educational curriculum designed for adults who, for one reason or another, dropped out of school before acquiring essential basic skills needed in life. Adult education has profound social benefits and as such, an agent for social change. Adult education is of significant value as a means of addressing social problems and providing solutions to issues affecting disadvantaged groups in society. It provides means of bridging the social inequalities that exist in contemporary societies with regard to reproductive health and social empowerment, especially in relation to economic, cultural and political engagement. Adult education, when considered according to the practices and principles of community-based education has the potential of reducing and even eliminating existing social inequalities. Community-based education for adults is based on the assumption that any community, urban or rural, has the capacity to generate solutions to its own problems. It serves as an instrument for promoting and strengthening social capacity to address various social challenges. The United Chinese Enrichment Services Society (SUCCESS) is one such a program that involves diverse community development initiatives to foster adult education for a Chinese immigrant community (Guo 107). The organization, based in Vancouver, Canada, provides accessibl
This memo is in regard to the recent assignment on research about business registration and independent contracting in Delaware as applicable to our client, Career Institute of America, Inc, herein referred to as CIA, as regards their business case. Summary of facts Our client, herein referred to as Career Institute Of America Inc., CIA, is a newly registered business entity under Section 405 of the “Not-for-Profit Corporation Law” (DoS, 2011). CIA is involved in online training of American auto industry students and offers online classes through contracted instructors. CIA does not want the contractors to be perceived as the CIA’s permanent employees but as contracted content providers. Suffice to state that while Delaware’s Liability in tort and contract limits the liability of a contractor in a not-for-profit organization in case of breach of contracts, provision for-profit organizations provide more liability if a contractor and the contracting organization (All Law, 2011; Delaware Division Of Corporations, 2011). Previously the company had attracted a retraining grant from the United States Department of Labor. However, this type of grant is strictly awarded to not for profit organizations. CIA draws much of its profits from fees charged for online training. Furthermore, the company’s founder, who also is the CEO, is interested in retaining a majority stake. In Delaware, a certain legal provision limits the CIA’s current status as a not-for-profit organization. Not-for-profit organizations only register for corporate purposes. Profits accrued for business cannot be distributed to directors or members. Upon dissolution, assets can only be re-distributed to another, not for profit organization (VCorp Service, 2011). The conflict of interest provision restricts the CIA’s CEO to transact any business on behalf of the organization (Gere, Vitrano and Schmeltz 2005). Furthermore, under the ‘ Uniform Partnership Act ,’ partnership with other corporations is highly restricted for not-for-profit organizations (HG Experts 2011; LII 2011) Issues With regard to this scenario, the following issues need to be addressed:  1. What type of business organization should the CIA be?  2. What should the CIA’s independent contracting agreement contain to be legally enforceable? Law Pursuant to the ‘ General Corporation Law of Delaware’ :  1. Delaware ‘ Uniform Union- Corporate Nonprofit Association Act,’ non-profit organization cannot transfer assets to directors or any member of the organization (Delaware Division of Corporations 2011).  2. Cap 4 on Directors and Officers provides that for-profit organization can have one director who can also be the sole shareholder and holder of all offices within the organization (Ryan 2005).  3. Business & Contractor Law of Delaware, the company, needs to consider certain basic prov
The front cover of the book “A Small Place” by Jamaica Kincaid suggests the bright quotation taken from the book review of ‘The New York Times’: “Ms. Kincaid writes with passion … [with] a poet’s understanding of how politics and history, private and public events … blur” (Kincaid unpaged). This statement shows the main feature of the book, due to which the author manages to get the reader’s attention and to make him think about the book. This feature of the book is the beauty of the language of Kincaid and the ugliness of the truth that the author describes. The stylistic elements (addressing the audience in second person, opposition, irony, conditional tense) used by the author help to increase the effectiveness of the text, because they help the reader to understand the message of the book. First, the powerful stylistic element of the text is that the author addresses the reader in second person. The very first sentences make an impression of a reader as a bothering tourist: “You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him” (Kincaid 3). The author’s narration really makes you feel guilty of being a shallow and egoistic incomer into the world of Antigua people. The long sentence that starts with “As your plane descends the land” and ends with “must never cross your mind”, the sentence that covers the whole paragraph, creates the impression of the speech of a
Is the Socially Responsible Corporation a Myth? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Corporate Social Responsibility Society expects organizations to engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The CSR initiatives should encompass the social environment of the society, ethical environment, public policy environment, ecological environment, and stakeholder environment. However, it is impossible for an organization’s CSR initiatives to fulfill the expectations of everyone. In addition, an organization may not necessarily use CSR activities to improve the welfare of its stakeholders. The organization may use the CSR initiatives to fulfill its ulterior motives (Devinney, 2009, p. 45). In order to have a clear understanding of the implications of CSR, it is critical to have a concise definition of CSR. The words ‘social’ and ‘responsibility’ may have conflicting meanings. The word ‘social’ generally means society. However, society may have conflicting views on various spheres. A clear example is religious and secular views. It is hard for a company’s CSR initiatives to accommodate the views of both religious and secular views since they may be contradictory (Devinney, 2009, p. 47). Corporations’ continuous research enables them to have a clear understanding of the diverse needs of society (Devinney, 2009, p. 48). Therefore, they engage in CSR activities that benefit most people in society. However, corporations do not engage in CSR activities blindly. Corporations ensure that the CSR activities would ultimately lead to financial returns. In some instances, corporations may know the needs of a certain segment of the society, but choose to overlook the need. This is because fulfilling the need of society may not lead to financial benefits (Devinney, 2009, p. 49). An organization may also overlook the needs of these people since these people do not represent the organization. Generally, corporations represent the middle urban upper-middle class (Devinney, 2009, p. 50). Therefore, corporations will be more receptive to the needs of this group within the society. Corporations are at liberty to engage in experimentation CSR initiatives. This would enhance the entrepreneurial spirit of the corporations. Experimentation enables an organization to realize new markets for its products. An organization may experiment on organic products or CSR initiatives that target marginalized or disadvantaged people (Devinney, 2009, p. 49). However, consumers are not usually receptive to most experimentation in
Both Edouard Manet and Gustave Courbet were self-identified founding pioneers of the Realist movement. They exemplified the trend in French art termed Modernity, defined by the poet Charles Baudelaire as a pursuit of “the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent” 1 . These artists rejected received wisdom, whether regarding social issues, or brushwork technique. However, their approaches reflected their personal interests, and are thus noticeably distinct from each other. Born 13 years apart (a half generation, at most), both artists were rigorously and academically trained. Courbet, the elder, moved from tiny Ornans to Besancon to study with Jean Louis David 2 . Courbet’s meticulous draftsmanship shows in his scientific grasp of human anatomy, e.g. in The Source . His traditional technique, involves fine brushwork and studio settings. Edouard Manet trained with the history painting specialist, Thomas Couture 3 . Manet’s familiarity with the Spanish and Italian Old Masters is reflected in his near-parodies. Consider Dejeuner Sur L’Herbe , echoing the clothed and unclothed grouping outdoors in Titian’s Pastoral Concert . Consider also Manet’s painting Olympia , mimicking the nude pose of Titian’s Venus of Urbana . Over his career, his brushwork technique grew bolder and looser, as shown in his last major work, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère , where the background is hazily and indistinctly indicated with broader brushstrokes. However, both these classically prepared artists rebelled against the academic art establishment and the hypocrisies of the social class structure. By their selection of topics and their treatment of them, they delightedly flouted conventional wisdom about art and class. However, their style and technique remained firmly representational and figurative. Courbet, for his part,
The book “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” tells a story about the children who lived in poverty and people who decided to help them. However, the play based on this book presented a new vision of its characters and ideas. The main goal of this paper is to analyze this production, highlighting its most striking aspects. The purpose of this production is to deepen the understanding of the story and its themes. I think that this play was chosen because it provided much space for expressing the main ideas of the book. The diversity of characters, an interesting and unusual plot, and the variety of settings are factors that contributed to the comprehensive embodiment of the author’s vision. The artists emphasized the importance of secondary characters. Also, the idea of the strong interdependence of unfortunate kids was expressed very emotionally. The artists aimed to make an audience associate the shortcomings of characters with their own. Due to talented acting, many spectators recognized themselves in the characters on the stage. I believe that artists successfully reached their goals. For example, the roles of Bob Badley and Mrs. Armstrong underlined the significance of the side characters. Although Bob Badley’s role is seemingly minor, he quietly helped the spectators put together all hints to see the big picture and the logic of the narrative. He showed the parallels between the tattered, dep
Introduction Effective people can take how they perceive themselves as well as other people into account and understand how other people see them. This enhances communication and understanding between individuals and those they interact with as well as the world in general. Efficiency requires one to be proactive, have a positive attitude, prioritize roles, and employ the concept of interpersonal leadership. Efficient people start with the end in the mind, which refers to having a clear understanding of the consequences of one’s actions. It means determining the direction people want to take so that they can establish where they are and be cautious not to miss the direction. Inefficient people are usually caught up by their hard work all the time thinking they are doing the right thing only to find that they have been focusing on the wrong things. Being proactive It is motivating for an individual to elevate his or her life through the conscious mind, which is an action known as proactive habit. Human beings can analyze their moods, determine their feelings, and describe their mental states. The ability to do all that is only found in human beings and enables man to dominate over all other creations in the world and advance in his or her success from one generation to another. The ability also allows man to learn from other people’s mistakes. Human beings develop habits and break them by being proactive, which helps individuals determine how to perceive things (Crane & Matten 2007). Proactive habit affects people’s behaviors and attitudes and serves as a guide in their lives (Crane & Matten 2007). Proactive behavior enables successful people to go beyond taking the initiative and be responsible for their actions. They know that behavior depends on wise decisions and not the conditions surrounding them. One’s behavior should be suppressed using values that cause things to happen through someone’s initiatives. Effective people do not blame situations and conditions because they are aware that whatever they do is a consequence of their reasoning and valid choices they make every day. However, human beings are proactive by nature but situations influence them because they empower the prevailing conditions to suppress their decisions thus becoming inefficient (Dubrin & Dalglish 2005). Always start with a positive attitude about the results It is important to realize that efficient people esteem a positive attitude and consider what lies behind and before them, negligible compared with the inherent potentials they have, which empowers the proactive element in them. Efficient personalities have a positive attitude on the outcomes they want and do everything they can to achieve it. They ensure their actions do not contradict their goals set before beginning any task. Efficient people make achievements and successes that have much value to them through a positive attitude without sacrificing other valuable things in their lives. Most people in professions that are usually regarded prestigious in society such as medicine, politics, business, games, and arts concentrate a lot on
Since times immemorial people have found different ways to express their feelings and emotions when words cannot provide a proper way of expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings of a person. Dance has always been the symbolic synthesis of music and movement in space. Dance can be considered a language of the human body that is capable of expressing a person’s inner world. There has always been some magic in dancing, and every dance is unique as it is impossible to imitate the dancing movement of some other person with absolute accuracy. The symbolism of dance has been enhanced in the short stories under consideration, And the Soul Shall Dance by Wakako Yamauchi and Silent Dancing by Judith Ortiz Cofer. The themes of dancing are used by both authors in their short stories and great significance is attributed to them. However, the themes of a dance signify different symbolic meanings implied by the authors: if in Yamauchi’s short story the theme of a dance stands for a temporary rescue and escape of Mrs. Oka from the awful reality of life in emigration, Cofer makes use of the theme of dance as the reflection of the life of Puerto Rican people in America. There is only one “dancing” character in Yamauchi’s literary work and though the woman is not the protagonist of the short story, the theme of dancing becomes a central one due to the strength and bitterness of the author’s idea shown with the help of dance. The Oka family are Japanese emigrants in America and the whole story shows their life through the prism of vision of the narrator and the protagonist of the story, a young Japanese girl named Masako. Her opinion about Mrs. Oka changes in the course of the short story: at first, she describes the woman as strange, then as different, later as insane, and, finally, as a woman who “loved her sake” (Yamauchi 591-592). This change of the girl’s opinion about Mrs. Oka shows aggravation of the girl’s attitude to the woman, though the episode that describes Mr. Oka’s dance serves as the eye-opener for the reader and it can be interpreted differently from the point of view of the narrator who says that “the picture of her imagined grandeur … made [her] stir with discomfort” (Yamauchi 595). This discomfort provoked by Mrs. Oka’s dance can be interpreted as the awakening of the protagonist who used to blame a woman for alcohol addiction and even feared Mrs. Oka and her strange behavior.
