The Peter Pan Broadway musical tells the classic story of the boy who never grows up., based on the novel of James Matthew Barrie. The central plot focuses on the adventures of Peter Pan and three Darling children, Wendy, John, and Michael, in Neverland. After Peter Pan brings Wendy to Neverland to replace a mother for him and the Lost Boys, the characters explore what it means to be a child and a parent. Just as in the original novel, pirates led by Captain Hook and Indians, led by Tiger Lily, also constitute a significant part of the musical. However, the main characters whose development and motives are thoroughly captured in the play are Wendy, Peter Pan, and Captain Hook. Even though the musical is mostly targeted at the younger audience, viewers of all ages will find comfort in rediscovering familiar characters and their journey as they come to life on the stage. The play ends with Peter Pan now taking Wendy’s young daughter to Neverland on a journey as Wendy is grown up and cannot join him. While the musical’s plot easily captures the viewers’ attention, the ending emphasizes the main idea of the play to illustrate how childhood is the only time when people can fly and travel to imaginary worlds. The main idea is easily translated to the viewers by the incredible emotional performance of Wendy and Peter Pan actors. Wendy is the central character representing the point of view of an ordinary girl. In the beginning, Wendy feels amazed by the new world full of magic opened in front of her. Then, after facing the challenge of being a motherly figure of several boys in Neverland, Wendy becomes frustrated with the way Peter cannot help her and play a role of a father. In a very touching scene, Wendy becomes aware that Peter will stay a boy forever due to his deep resentment of his mother for giving birth to another child. The scene made an emotional impact on me as I felt sorry for both Peter Pan and Wendy as at that moment, she knew that Peter would never share her romantic feelings. Wendy decides to come back home as she and her brother miss their parents and offers other Lost Boys to join the Darling family, emphasizing how magical adventures will never replace parental love. The other main character, Peter Pan, is portrayed by Cathy Rigby, whose gymnastic background and physical mobility provide an additional visual component to both the show and the character. Rigby’s Peter Pan is a naïve and slightly narcissistic boy who is deeply concerned about finding a mother that would care for him. In the moments of victory, Peter Pan’s excitement turns into arrogancy as he loudly exclaims that there is nothing he cannot do. However, most of the girls he encounters either do not agree to act like his mother, like Tiger Lily and Tinker Bell, or agree in hopes to become something more than just a motherly figure. Although Peter Pan leads the Lost Boys, he proclaims himself as a Captain
Introduction France is one of the developed economies in Europe. This country is one of the most attractive markets in the world. Officially known as French Republic, this country is located in West Europe, but has overseas territories. It is the largest country in West Europe, and is considered to have the second biggest economic zone in the world. France has been one of the world’s leading powers economically, politically, culturally and even in military. This country was one of the leading colonial powers between 18 th and 20 th century. The economy of this country is very strong, considered as the second largest in Europe, and fifth largest in the world. It is the ninth largest economy based on the purchasing power of its populace. According to the report by Kurtz (94), this country is the wealthiest nation in the entire Europe in cumulative household wealth. The living standard in the country is comparatively high, with good education and health facilities. According to Shovlin (67), the French are known for their love for flashy goods, especially those that show status. These are some of the factors that make this country an interesting business environment. This study is focused on understanding cultural, political, economic and legal aspects of doing business in France. External Business Environment of France Cultural, political, economic and legal aspects of a business make up the external environment of a business. External business environment is very important because it will always determine success or failure of a business. A firm cannot survive in a business environment that is hostile. According to Kurtz (12), external business environment always dictates growth and development of a business. In order to understand business environment of France, a PESTEL analysis will be important. This economic analysis tool will help us understand France as a business region, and its viability in supporting growth and development of firms. PESTEL Analysis of the French Business Environment Environmental scanning can be done using PESTEL Analysis. This involves the analysis of political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal environments. Political Aspects France is one of the leading democracies in the world. This country became a republic in 1792, after being Kingdom of France since 843. The country is headed by the president as the head of State, and a prime minister who is responsible for running cabinet affairs. Politically, France has a very stable government. The
Introduction The Encyclopedia of Surgery (2007) defines the term “Smoking Cessation” as an effort to “quit smoking” or “withdrawal from smoking.” Since smoking is a highly addictive habit so cessation can often lead to mood swings, irritability, headache and craving. This happens due to the reduction in the amount of tobacco consumption by an individual who is highly dependent on nicotine. Smoking cessation can be called as one of the best achievements in a person’s life. Smoking cessation increases the life of a person by 10 years. In this paper I aim to discuss in detail some facts related to smoking cessation. I aim to explore the relevant literature to support my research. I aim to discuss the importance of the issue by highlighting the most recent statistics as well as the long and short term benefits of smoking cessation. My research will be based on the most recent data available. In order to understand the importance of the issue let us first explore the statistics available. Statistics   * According to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (2006) prepared by Barker smoking cessation among adolescents in the United States is a rare practice.   * Nevertheless young adults do try to quit smoking and some of them do become successful within a period of 4 years (Barker, 2006).   * Approximately 4% of young smokers quit smoking per annum (Barker, 2006).   * 43% of young adults have failed in their attempt to quit smoking and this rate is higher as compared to the adults (Barker, 2006).   * Approximately 58% of the high school students have tried to quit smoking at least for a day or longer in one year (Barker, 2006). According to the National Cancer Institute (2007) smoking cessation among young adults who are below the age of 25 has shown no significant change. On the other hand those who are above the age of 25 have shown some significant rise in their attempt to quit smoking. The overall rate is declining among men and among women there is no change. Demographical data shows that there has been a significant rise in smoking cessation among Hispanics. On the other hand white and colored non-Hispanics did not show any change. According to Cancer Trends Progress Report (2007) in 2006, 51.1% of youth aged 18-24 years attempted to quit smoking. 41.9% adults aged 25 and above attempted to quit smoking. 18 year old Hispanics and black non-Hispanics had a percentage of 45 and 45.1 respectively. White non-Hispanics had a percentage of 42.4. The combined success rate for men and women in 2006 was 8.6%. In a survey carried out for youth aged 16-25 years the following methods were considered most commonly used for smoking cessation. Assisted Methods      Unassisted Methods                       Health Professional   Cut down on amount of cigarettes smoked  Nicotine Gum          Stopped
Dashboard analysis is a crucial process of evaluation that nurses may use to find which aspects of their work should be addressed through the application of best practices. It consists of the interpretation of the data presented in a quarterly report on all the aspects of nurse-specific indicators (Brown, Aydin, & Donaldson, 2008). This paper will analyze the data of one of the specific areas presented in the example dashboard and will provide a number of possible best practices that can be implemented to address it. Analysis of the Data The presented data showcases a number of positive trends in various areas. For example, RN courtesy is consistently high, as well as BSN and length of stay indicators. Some show uneven but acceptable results over the four-quarter period. This category includes NHPPD, FIM bowel and bladder indicators, and issues with mislabeling. Overall, the majority of patient satisfaction indicators are positive, which showcases the professionalism and the quality of care provided by the nurses (Brown et al., 2008). Some negative indicators require attention, however. For the purposes of this paper, the increased number of patients with pressure ulcers will be chosen as the area of negative performance. The second quarter of 2009 has resulted in a significant rise in pressure ulcer cases, going much further than the target number. The trend continued into the next quarter, as well as the first quarter of 2010. The only month where the number did not go above the target was in the fourth quarter of 2009. A similar increase in the frequency of pressure ulcer cases has been monitored since the year 2000. Pressure ulcers are also often called bedsores. They are the result of damage to the skin or underlying tissue of a person that often occurs over the bony prominence. They appear due to pressure and friction being applied to the skin. Additional factors can affect the appearance of pressure ulcers, such as microclimate caused by sweating, malnutrition, and arteriosclerosis (Sullivan & Schoelles, 2013). The area was selected due to a dramatic increase in patients with pressure ulcers over the presented period. One of the first things that have to be done to address this area is to create a strict procedure of risk assessment. This will be the first practice implemented according to the action plan. Such risk factors as older age,
Executive Summary The report is prepared for depicting the strategic management of Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline in terms of passengers at low fares. To evaluate the strategic management, Ryanair’s strategic movement has been compared with Emirates, Asia, one of the luxurious airlines with supreme quality of services. The report has been segmented into four parts. The first part is concentrated on the comparison of Ryanair and Emirates. This comparison shows that there’s a huge difference in the strategic management of the two companies. Ryanair’s strategic management is concentrated on low fares in the airline industry. On the other hand, Emirates is considering the quality of services and luxuriousness. Ryanair’s ruthless control over cost makes it gain a higher level of administrative efficiency. Emirates outlandish expenses to provide quality services attract many rich Asians. So, the business model is different. The second part of the report elucidates the main aspirations of key stakeholders and how their aspiration affects the pursued strategy. Stakeholder wants to maximize their profits through dividend payout ratio. When an agency problem arises, the strategy is changed. Ryanair is enlisted in NASDAQ and the Irish stock exchange. From the last couple of weeks, its share price is declining rapidly, means shareholder finds no interest in investing anymore. The third part of the report is illustrated with porter’s value chain analysis. The prime objective for this illustration is to depicting cost leadership and cost management. The process is designated with five steps, including backward and forward operations. The last part of the report is concerned with diversification. This is shown by evaluating several factors, which are indicating the company is firmly attached to the airline industry with associated supportive businesses. Introduction To understand the strategic development and to apply it in the real world, it is necessary to understand the key factors of the strategic management process, and it will be best if it can be related
The distinction between man and woman requires no need for elaboration. It is obvious for everyone to see. But there are those who use these differences to interpret the role that women and men should play in society. In ancient times men believe that they were supposed to rule over women. There is no better proof of this assertion other than the study of mythology because it can be said that mythology is a form of distillation of ideas. Thus, in Greek mythology, one can see how this belief is perpetuated. There are even those who argue that myth-making was used to propagate this view. The best examples of course are the stories that related to Zeus and the way he treated women. In Greek-mythology the power relations is easy to understand; women were supposed to be dominated by men. Greek-mythology can be partially blamed for the demotion and devaluation of women. There is no way to deny this claim because the main plot of the stories that came from this region tells of how easy it was for men to violate women and get away with. For an outsider looking in, especially those who study these myths, the way ancient men treated women is not only barbaric but accomplished with a sense of pride and entitlement – as if it was man’s natural right to abuse women and do as they please with them. The idea was reinforced by the myth about gods and their relationships with women both mortal and goddesses alike. Zeus and the Excuse to Dominate Women If indeed Greek mythology was created not only as a form of explaining the origin of life in this region but also to explain the purpose of life, then Greek mythology was used as form of teaching tool to direct all the inhabitants of Greece to their rightful places. It also makes sense of the sociological order that existed during that period in history. With regards to power relations between man and woman there is no better way to illustrate it than to construct gods that have gender both male and female. These gods do not only possess the desires common to mankind but they too have the ability to procreate. It provides an explanation not only to the origin of life on earth but also about human nature. Zeus the most powerful god in Greek mythology gave the command to Prometheus to create man and for a while Zeus enjoyed the fruits of his creation. But man did something that made Zeus angry and has to be punished. The method use to punish man is one of the first examples of how ancient civilizations view women. In the story Zeus instructed Hephaesutus to create a woman of stunning beauty and name her Pandora. Her beauty was the cover that hid the deadly gift inside. It is therefore telling that when the gods made woman she was given a deceptive heart, a lying tongue and a curious mind that would soon be the downfall of all mankind. Pandora was supposed to give his male counterpart great joy on

The directions to Christ’s disciples The Secret of the Cross written by Andrew Murray is a brief instruction to all people who want to be the disciples of Jesus Christ. The title of the book provides the reader its main idea. Jesus Christ said to His disciples to carry their cross. Christ’s words mean that everyone is sinful, but people may win an innate sin. Nevertheless, the Christians fail to win this innate sin even if they read the Bible, pray and go to the church. Andrew Murray provides the way to win a human sin, to crucify a sinful flesh for the sake of serving God in his book. The main idea of Andrew Murray’s book The Secret of the Cross starts and ends with a prayer. Every man of God should start everything with a prayer asking God for help and guidance, and thanking for this help at the end. The book consists of thirty-one parts or days that start with the quotation from the Bible and instructions how these words may be used in an everyday life. Christ’s disciples should read this book day by day during the month to find the deliverance from sins. The structure of the book Andrew Murray impels God’s servants to repent of their sins but, more than that, they should be taught to take power over their sinful flesh. They should not be captured with their sin. The author refers to the words of Jesus Christ who teaches His disciples that if they want to follow Him, they should lose their own life. These words should not be interpreted sensu stricto. Jesus Christ does not mean a real death of His disciples; He denotes the death of their sin. Andrew Murray explains Christ’s directions: “When their Lord had died on the cross, they would learn what it was to die to themselves and the world, and to live their life in the fullness of God” (Murray, 1998). People who want to win their sin should kill it in themselves; they should die for their salvation. Jesus Christ does not imply the act of s
Artistic exhibits show diverse and unique artistic expressions that have cultural, ethnic, religious, educational, political and even personal symbolism. The art represent various values and beliefs of diverse cultures, sects, religions and other existing groups that share common values and beliefs. The interpretation or misinterpretation of these arts results into controversies as to whether they are anti-religious or blasphemous in their expression and nature. Therefore, the government should not ban art exhibits if it deems to be anti-religious or blasphemous for their interpretation is relative, not absolute. An artistic expression is similar to a written or verbal expression of one’s belief and values. According to the article 19 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights, “everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; the right includes freedom to hold opinion without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers” (MacArthur 17). The artistic rights of expressions have legal protection; hence, the government has a duty to protect and defend them; not to ban them. Diverse cultures and religions should have freedom to exercise their artistic expressions without any undue interference from the government. Since the artistic expression is a media of expression, everybody has inalienable right to receive or impart the artistic expressions without any interference. Whether the art is a personal, a religious or a cultural expression, people should have freedom to express their beliefs, values and opinions within the limits of the laws so long as they do not interfere with other’s religions or cultures. Therefore, the government ban or interference with the arts deemed to be anti-religious or blasphemous is an infringement of the article 19 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights. Everyone has freedom to worship and the state or a government should not aid or show preferential treatment of one religion to others because government and religion are separate and different entities (MacArthur 12). If the government interferes or bans artistic expressions of one religion and preserves the rest, then, the government shows partiality and restriction of the fundamental freedom of worship. The United States Bill of Rights provides for the freedom of worship as the inalienable human right. Diverse cultures and religions have complex and ambiguous artistic expressions that can have literal and metaphorical interpretation. Thus, the interpretation of the art exhibits is quite ambiguous and one can make false interpretation to vilify an artistic expression as anti-religious or blasphemous. Moreover, if an art is perceived as anti-religious or blasphemous, there should be toleran
