This rhetoric analysis is based on a poster of the Chinese Zodiac movie. The movie was released on 20 th December, 2012. The art used in the design was full of graphic enhancements. These enhancements made Jackie Chan to appear larger in size than the plane and the buildings behind him. This represents a typical use of metaphor. He must have outwitted all the odds before him and that is why they are apparently small in size compared to him. The image chosen accomplishes the intention of the message displayed in the poster. Besides, a famous male character called Jackie Chan has been positioned at the center of the poster with a background of burning buildings. The picture of Jackie Chan is quite conspicuous in the poster; it creates an impression of courage and victory. He appears like a determined character ready to face any hurdle on his way with the aim of achieving his ambition. This captivates the mind of the intended audience and makes one to be interested in investigating whether he achieved his ambition. The manner in which Jackie’s picture is displayed on the poster propels the audience toward a sense of humor. He is seen to be in an extremely dangerous situation. However, he does not appear to be worried. He also appears to be playful although it is the normal way he often behaves in most of his movies. The above details are further stressed by the catchphrase on top of the poster. The slogan “never before action never-again” sends a vivid and eye catching message to the audience. The slogan is divided using two colors namely white on top, red at the center and also white at the bottom. The word “action” is conspicuously red in color. It gives the actual identity of the movie. There is yet another important slogan positioned at the top of the poster. The slogan unveils the main theme of the movie. The watchword on top reads “his mission is to recover their heads, before they take his”. This message raises a lot of questions. The viewers of this poster are left guessing the meaning of the phrase. This is a strong message that attracts the attention of the audience. They are left in a state of suspense and hence become more interested in obtaining the entire content of the movie. The name Jackie Chan is placed slightly above the title of the movie. This is a well known character in the action film industry. The use of a famous male character further strengthens the message being sent by the poster as a must watch movie. Even though the story is not described in the poster, the presence of such a charac
Introduction The Islamic religion began in the contemporary Saudi Arabia. Prophet Mohammed, a resident of Mecca, pioneered it. Since that time, the religion has witnessed massive growth as seen in its mammoth following in many continents. Most of the doctrines and Islamic teachings are contained in the Quran and the Sunna (Walbridge, 2010). Allah cosseted the sacred Quran from alterations and destruction. Moreover, he gave definite individuals exceptional power to memorize and remember the teaching and principles in the Sunna. The memorized knowledge was in jeopardy as they narrated different versions. To prevent this, Allah created individuals with inconceivable intelligence and immense analytical skills. They travelled all over the Arabia collecting narrations and distinguishing the truth from the narrations (Hasan, ND). Though various narrated ahadith varied greatly, these talented individuals were able to reconstruct the teaching and eliminate incorrect statements. Furthermore, they eliminated untrue stories by people seeking to anchor their views. The work of these individuals has made Islam a rich religion in terms of wisdom and doctrines (Hasan, 1994). Structure of hadith Hadith has two parts that include matn and isnad. For verification of the hadith, the writers had to be credible. A mursal was a form of hadith that cited the Prophet without acknowledging the intermediaries. During the evaluation of narratives, they looked at the writers and the various statements in the narration. The assessors deleted statements by writers who lacked credibility (Hasan
Introduction The Thirty Years’ War was a dark page in European history that was associated with a remapping of the continent. The chaotic warfare led to a large number of casualties and devastated entire regions. The aim of this paper is to outline the main themes of Wiesner-Hanks’ discussion of the war. The paper will also detail the treaty of Westphalia and the obliteration of a large European city Magdeburg. It will be argued that despite the enormous cost of the military conflict, it helped to achieve a balance of political power on the continent. Main Themes The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe can be viewed as a long sequence of violent military clashes the sheer volume of which prevented historians from giving specific names to some of them (Wiesner-Hanks 321). The continent-wide conflicts that occurred in the period from 1618 to 1648 became known as the Thirty Years’ War (Wiesner-Hanks 321). The war was characterized by intermittent violence which involved the participation of Sweden, Spain, France, and Austria (Wisner-Hanks 321-356). Similar to conflicts that followed in later centuries, the Thirty Years’ War had a strong political dimension; however, unlike military hostilities of the twentieth century, the war had substantial religious undertones. The balkanization of religious denominations in Europe made it extremely difficult to settle ecclesiastical conflicts without resorting to the use of violence. Wisner-Hanks maintains that the war can be regarded as a continuation of “religious wars that resulted from the Reformation” (321). The unwillingness of Calvinists to adhere to terms of the Peace of Augsburg and the formation of military alliances by Lutheran and Catholic rulers contributed to the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. In his book on early modern European history, Wisner-Hanks argues that territorial and dynastic consideration took precedence over religious ones in the war (322). The destruction of a German city Magdeburg that occurred during the second half of the war was a major humanitarian catastrophe in the seventeenth century. According to Robinson, the sack of the city led to more than 20, 000 casualties (211). When describing the massacre, the mayor of the city Otto von Guericke stated that it was nothing but “beating and burning, plundering, torture, and murder” (qtd. in Robinson 211). During the event that was described as “frenzied rage” by the city’s mayor, numerous books and manuscripts were stolen and burned (qtd. in Robinson 212). The Treaty of Westphalia was a sequence of peace agreements that ended the war. The treaty was signed in 1648 by major European states—Austria, Germany, France, and Sweden (“Treaty of Westphalia”). Even though Wisner-H
Discuss the questions that would be important to include when interviewing a patient with this issue Headaches disorders are usually diagnosed based on the interviews or questionnaires about the history of the patient. The questions should focus on different types of primary and secondary headache types (Karakurt, Whiting, Esch, Bolen, & Calabrese, 2016). The list would include the following:   * When did the headaches start?   * How many headache attacks per day does the patient have and how long do they last?   * Was there any change in the character of the headache? If yes, what kind?   * Are there any factors that trigger headaches, such as alcohol, menstruation, stress, fatigue, missing meals, caffeine, or change in the weather?   * How would Ms. Davis assess her typical headache on the line from 1 to 10, where 1 is minimal pain, and 10 is unbearable pain?   * Is there any pattern to the headaches? Do they happen at a particular time of the day or on certain days of the week or month?   * Are there any warning signs of a coming headache?   * Are there any additional symptoms such as nasal congestion, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, visual changes, photophobia, phonophobia, extreme thirst, speech disturbance, vertigo, or loss of balance?   * Does Ms. Davis have insomnia?   * Does the patient consider herself under stress?   * Does she have a regular sleeping and eating pattern?   * Has the patient experienced any trauma?   * What kind of medicine is she taking or used to take in the previous two months, including herbs, birth-control peals, and antidepressants?   * Is she pregnant?   * Does the patient have any family history of migraines?   * Does she have any history of snoring, lung disease, anemia, hypertension, motion sickness, or cigarette smoking? Describe the clinical findings that may be present in a patient with this issue Ms. Davis appears to have the apparent signs of intimate partner violence (IPV). First, the patient reports incidents of her being the victim of her boyfriend’s abuse. Second, she has bruises with different age that are noted during her physical exam. Third, the woman shows signs of fear and unsafety as she fails to maintain eye contact while being examined and interviewed. Therefore, her headache appears to be provoked by stress and depression from the IPV. IPV is usually associated with headaches, pains in the back, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), digestive problems, and depression. As the woman can be a victim of verbal abuse, humiliation, social isolation, and threats of violence or financial deprivation, she may experience low self-esteem, loneliness, hopelessness, and physical pain

Introduction There is a need to introduce a camel general insurance policy due to the increased needs to protect camels in the UAE. Such an insurance policy should cover camels against sickness, accidental loss of the camel arising from fire, theft, and legal liability arising out of the camel’s damage to properties belonging to third parties such as crops. In the UAE, camels are valued, and people take care of the animals to ensure that they are safe and healthy. The camels have values in the society. The people also attach an economic value to the animal. Camels can survive in the harsh desert conditions, and this aspect is suitable for areas which are dry. The camels are used for transport. They also supply milk and meat. Camels are also used to pay dowry, and they are sources of pride for the people in the UAE (Salem and Staff Reporter, p. 1). Today, they are also used in sports, such as racing (Zacharias, para. 6). In this paper, the author provides a proposal that Dubai Insurance Company will establish an insurance policy called Alba’aeer. The policy will provide cover for the upkeep, racing, and breeding camels in the region. New product development plan for selected opportunity Pricing In all businesses, a product is brought to the market after passing all stages of full new product development process. Pricing is the last stage in the new development process. The other stages, starting from the first one, are as follows; idea generation, idea screening, concept development and screening, business analysis, beta and market testing, technical implementation, commercialization and lastly the new product pricing. As a marketing manager, developing a strategic plan in setting the price of the Alba’aeer is very recommendable. The pricing strategy will consider the all the costs and the profit margin of the product. A marketing manager should focus on the current and the future situation of the market of the Alba’aeer and not historical to ensure that the right price is set for the product. A mind that thinks of today and tomorrow will help marketing managers to set a strategy of pricing that will help make profits today and tomorrow. A mind that thinks of the experiences will obviously drag the marketing manager into setting prices to recover the costs that were incurred long time ago (Tailan, and Liu, 695). The pricing process will consider the fact that the product is new and that customers will not be willing to buy the product because they have not used it before. Marketing managers should take immediate actions in regards to how the buyers respond to the prices that have been set for the Alba’aeer. The prices will be tested to test the response of the customers. The managers should develop pricing strategies that shift with the shift of the price sensitivities of buyers. The insurance products have a price-elastic demand, and this indicates that the price of Alba’aeer will be determined by the demand in the market. In case the demand for Alba’aeer increases, the price will automatically be increased, and in a situation where the demand of the product decreases, the price will also decrease (Tailan, and Liu, 697). On
Introduction The Rwanda genocide of 1994 is regarded as the largest genocide since the mass killings of the Second World War. While the killing of the Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana in April 6, 1994 sparked this event, historians assert that ethnic differences and identity politics played a significant role in this genocide, which resulted in the death of over 800,000 people in the span of a few weeks. This paper will present the anthropological elements that led to the horrendous Genocide of 1994 in Rwanda. It will describe the Tutsi-favored political system and land distribution system that contributed to the occurrence of the Genocide. The paper will conclude by comparing the Rwanda and Tasmania genocide in order to show their similarities and differences. Historical Background Rwanda is an African state located in the Great Lakes Region of central-east Africa. The country was first colonized by Germany but the responsibility for governing it was passed along to Belgium following Germany’s defeat in WWI (Amstutz 543). It has three ethnic groups: the Hutu majority, and the Tutsi and Twa minorities. The early European who encountered the Rwandese people noted the pronounced differences between the Tutsi and Hutu ethnic groups. The Hutus were Bantus and their primary economic activity was farming while the Tutsis were cattle-herders. Historically, Rwanda was ruled by a monarchy headed by the Tutsi leading to a condition where the Tutsi ruled over the Hutus around. This created the perception that the Tutsi rulers were the superior group. However, De Heusch notes that there was little difference between the Hutu elite and the Tutsi upper class (3). The social structure in Rwanda was flexible and people could move from one ethnic group to the other since it was a mixed society. The Colonial Political System The Colonial powers failed to see the fluid and mixed aspect of the Rwandan society. Instead, they focused on the differences among the people and established social structures on this basis. The Europeans were of the opinion that the Tutsi did not originate from the region. Instead, they theorized that the Tutsi were not indigenous Africans but a superior people who had migrated to the region. Hintjens declares that during colonial rule, “Church, school, administration and the army were organized around the assumed racial superiority of the Tutsi people” (253). The policies adopted by the colonizing power greatly advantaged the Tutsi minority. This led to a situation where this ethnic group considered itself inherently superior to the Hutu in Rwanda. The Belgian colonial powers radicalized the ethnic identities of the Rwandans in a number of ways. To begin with, the Belgian administrators came up with a method of ascribing a single ethnic label to each citizen. Cohen argues that this single label, which was traced though the male line, ignored the complex ways in which social identitie
In his introduction, Ferguson attempts to attract the interest of the audience by eliciting the people’s feelings towards the current monetary system. The author uses the terms used to describe money in various societies such as “bread, moolah, dough, dosh, cash and readies” to attract the attention of the reader. He also mentions the modern perceptions and believes about money. For instance, Christians believe that money is the backbone of all evils while leaders believe it is the sign of might, wealth and respect. Having attracted the interest of the reader, the author now turns to express the idea of his book. He brings forth the questions that the book attempts to answer. For instance, what is money? How has money developed from mere tablets and metals to printed-paper? How will money become invisible yet usable? What is the origin of money and how did it evolve? Finally, he tends to determine the future of money. The book uses review of literature as the main study method. In fact, Fergusson has made an in-depth analysis of the historical records to determine the origin, evolution and development of the world monetary systems. The author goes beyond the common history and looks at the economic forces behind every historical development since the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. According to the author “every historical event has a financial secret”. For instance, the Italian Renaissance is attributed with changes in science, arts, music, education and other aspects of life. However, Fergusson says that a major financial secret contributed to the renaissance. According to the book, major changes in during the Renaissance were under the control of individuals who converted these changes to money and wealth, including Da Vinci and the Medici families. In addition, case studies based on historical evidence as well as modern examples of monetary evolution have been used in-depth. According to the author, the financial crisis that was affecting most parts of the world between 2007 and 2008 was an important sign of the continuing development and evolution of the monetary system. Ferguson reviews the situation facing the global financial system. According to the book, the increase in the cost of living, average income per individual, price surges, inflations and deflations and the GDP in general have changed since 1990, especially in the US. However, the author tends to argue that this change is not a unique phenomenon but rather, it is a continuing change that has been taking place in the evolution of money. In addition, the author associates the control of the world financial system as a continuing part of the evolution of money. For instance, he mentions the work of banks, billionaires, capitalists and other parties that control the world financial system. He tells the reader not to worry because this trend has been there since the a
The teaching profession is one of the most challenging careers in the world today. This is because today’s teachers are faced with a situation where the family culture of respect has been eroded from our community. This has seen a rise in the rate of disrespect among students. It is this increasing number of undisciplined students that teachers have to deal with on a daily basis. Well, I am not trying to say that all the students we have in our schools come from dysfunctional families. On the contrary, I am trying to point out that students greatly differ when it comes to the way they behave and their respect for other students. This calls for the setting of basic ground rules to ensure that respect is maintained both inside and outside the class. This essay explores different ways that I would consider in establishing ground rules among my students. (Silverman 1996). Perhaps to understand the subject better, it would be important to define what is meant by ground rules. Ground rules are set rules and boundaries within which to work in my career as a teacher. These rules usually relate to behaviour and respect for other people. In setting the ground rules, it is important to have a group discussion of all the students. This group discussion on the expectations and inclusion of all stakeholders views makes every student feel heard and integrated in setting up the rules. This inclusion ensures that the set gro
