Introduction ‘Hell-Heaven’ is a story that revolves around a family. The narrator’s family is not socially stable and her mother, Boudi, falls in love with Pranab, a stranger that the family has taken in as a friend. Pranab, however, falls in love with Deborah, revealing Boudi’s level of vulnerability. This ‘Hell-Heaven’ analysis seeks to discuss the characters in the play, as revealed by the narrator. The paper will analyze their appearances, actions, speech, and conscience. For these purposes, the ‘Hell-Heaven’ summary is the first thing to discuss. Hell Heaven Summary The major characters in the story are the narrator, her mother, Pranab and Deborah. Pranab, a foreign student in America comes across the narrator’s family, with whom he shares a cultural origin. Pranab is taken into the family, and as the narrator notices, her mother develops affection for Pranab. Parnab, a college student spends most of his time in the family’s house and the Boudi exhibits changed behavior and attitude towards pleasing him. The narrator’s mother becomes jealous when Pranab falls in love with Deborah. She, out of jealousy, predicts a breakup, which never occurs. The two gets married and Parnab’s visits to the family completely stop. Boudi maintains her jealousy though she later denied the feelings to Deborah who admitted her own initial jealous feelings towards Boudi. The narrator, now a grown up girl, is involved in parties, drugs, and sexual behaviors (Lahiri, 60-84). Characters appearance The narrator, though young at the beginning of the story, is able to describe the characters in terms of their appearances. She for instance describes her mother’s appearance during their first encounter with Pranab. Her mother, is described a cultural woman. In reaction to Pranab’s question on their first encounter, the narrator notes that her mother’s appearance should have identified her, not just as a Bengali woman, but one who is already married. Boudi’s appearance is also identified with a dissatisfied look that she cannot hide. This is her particular appearance before she meets Pranab. Every time her daughter arrives home from school, she would meet the discontented look in her mother’s face (Lahiri, p. 61). Similarly, the narrator is able to describe Pranab’s natural appearance. He is particularly thin and tall, actually the tallest of the charact
Mike Schmoker is an author, a consultant, and a speaker. In his article “Reading, Writing, and Thinking for All,” he discusses skills that are not just important for the college students, but essential to critical thinking, cultural awareness, and impassioned writing. Quoting Derek Bok, the Harvard president, as he endorsed the values of a basic liberal arts education on national public radio, Schmoker pointed out that this kind of education is essential for its contribution to personal intellectual growth; it is what employers are looking for (Schmoker 63). Graduates fail to write well, think enough, and to have a good and enough ethical sense. They also feel that students fail to understand the relationship between business, public, and social policy problems in the US. Putting this into account, Mike thinks that these are the dispositions and skills that students should possess, whether they attended college or not. This is because the same skills are required in professions that don’t require a college education. According to him, liberal arts education helps the student to develop confidence and judgment and also equips them to fully contribute to the world they live in (63). Bok further believes that it is possible to provide every student with an intellectually challenging education that fosters an understanding of realities-both global and domestic; fosters critical thinking, and also exposes them to important cultural touchstones. To evaluate a curriculum strategy that can do the same, the article examines high schools in Arizona, which strongly emphasize on reading and analyzing texts that give the students a world-class preparation. The Arizona instrument was administered to measure the standard AIMs test. According to the obtained results the initial results were low even to the well-performing schools. However, the magnet school and the Temple Preparatory academy passed all three portions of the test. Although Temple preparatory enrolled lower and middle-class students, fifteen percent nonwhite and five percent of its students with special needs, the school’s success was mainly from its ability to attract intelligent and industrious students from supportive families. This was primarily because of its curricular choice. The curriculum of Temple Prep is simple and demanding. Students attend a two-hour humane letter block that combines history and language art. Students spend their time reading, writing, or even discussing issues they encounter in their learning activities. The assigned texts are clear to students, teachers, and parents as well. They also broaden students’ horizons and generate deep questioning. By graduation, the student has already spent sufficient time reading and discussing big volumes of text. Students get to analyze, argue, agree, or disagree with the ideas. Students’ work includes mastering Arizona’s standards for language arts. The students can display clarity and logic, make inferences, do character analysis, support their arguments, synthesize, evaluate and discern the author’s perspective or bias. Argumentative literacy is also nurtured into the students’ literacy skills. This helps s
Introduction The idea behind this research paper is to draw public attention concerning a current and rising phenomenon especially in the State of North Carolina, viz. the regional enactment of immigration laws. The aforementioned immigration laws are contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) part 287(g). This research paper seeks to generate substantive concerns and encourage further discussion concerning the varying demographics in the State North Carolina, the unsuccessful immigration restructuring at the national stage,ss and the manner in which the State has reacted. In addition, this research paper centers on the execution of the section 287(g) plan according to the INA, and the effect on the society when local law enactment agencies carry out immigration enactment tasks. Immigration represents an intricate section of law essentially in the field of the federal government in the constitution of the United States. Of late, federal immigration officials have conventionally enacted laws on immigration (ICE 2). The section 287 (g) of the INA was passed in 1996 and was amended by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to strengthen the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the United States to build accords with the state and regional police enactment agencies to implement immigration examining and enactment tasks. The formed accords are referred to as Memoranda of Understanding. In addition, the accords are termed as Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) and they “act on behalf of” the State and local law enactment officials to enact particular laws on immigration. Currently, it is approximated that more than 65 law enactment agencies all through the country have formed such accords and have started enacting laws on immigration at an exceptional pace (Weissman 16). Having about nine agencies presently signaled on, the State of North Carolina turns out to be number two in the ranking according the present number of section 287 (g) schemes in the State. Nevertheless, to date, these agencies have operated under the Memoranda of Agreement with insignificant transparency or supervision and there has been inconsequential, if any, responsibility as to the execution of the plan. Moreover, from the time of the execution of section 287(g), “Hispanic-looking” individuals in particular have complained of prejudiced abuses associated with the execution of the program. The reported abuses encompass molestation of legal inhabitants and citizens and consequent isolation of ethnic societies from police power and defense. Marginalized groups Section 287 (g) acts on behalf of regional law enactment officials when it comes to carrying out of immigration tasks in t
Picture 1: “The Weather and the Moods”. The weather in this picture has an inexplicable effect on the prevailing mood in the towns depicted. The snow cover is very thick, and there is no visible human being within the scope of the image. The dense trees below create a dark feeling to the atmosphere below, even though it is not nighttime. The clouds above seem to be gathering quickly, further darkening the atmosphere. The massive snowfall, evidenced by the thick snow, means vehicular transport is impossible. Reflectively, such snow cover has a strong effect on the lifestyle, mood, and general excitement in the area pictured. A simple walk out of the house to grab a soda or hot cup of coffee becomes a tough task that may include listening to the weather report first. A meeting with colleagues at the local entertainment joints cannot be actualized. Children with a strong desire for outdoor games are quickly converted to TV game addicts for the entire duration of this kind of weather. Therefore, the heavy snowfall in the picture directly affects the lifestyle choices of the inhabitants of the area covered by the photo. Snow is almost a master over them, and they can do little, if anything, about the situation. Picture 2: “The Era of Purity”. This color picture shows
Introduction Listening is an important element in the process of communication. Communication is basically about sending and receiving information. The most basic thing in communicating is ensuring the right message is received exactly as intended. Both sender and receiver have to take proactive measures to ensure they send and receive the right messages. People use different media to communicate. However, whether on the telephone or any other media, I am personally convinced that listening is necessary for any two people to understand each other. This is a reflective paper in which I am going to share views on the importance of listening in communication, barriers to listening, and strategies of perfecting listening skills. Importance of Listening Many mistakes happen in individual’s lives just because they did not listen effectively. When it comes to business, getting exactly what the client, customer or supervisor is saying is very poignant. It is only through listening and getting the information right that one can respond appropriately. Relationships are built on reciprocity in communication. A true interpersonal relationship is one in which people react and respond to each other appropriately. Therefore, listening is important in personal communication, for success at work and in building interpersonal relationships (Battell, 2006, p. 2). Language use could be very intriguing if one took the time to think about words and their usage. I realize that due to equivocal qualities of given words; one can say one thing and mean completely a different thing. Unless the context of words is well understood, words can seriously affect communication. Apart from equivocal words, there are words with similar sounds, e.g., cap and cab. I had a cousin who had many fights with his dad due to mishearing the words used. Uncle would send him for the gardener, and my cousin would come back with a kitten. The issue was not with his ears; my cousi
Introduction Writing a historical research is very challenging irrespective of the topic of the research. It is usually not enough for the person who is writing the research to have certain knowledge in history and politics to write a good research. To do this one must possess a good command of methodology used in this sphere of writing, as well as the ability to think logically, process information and make right conclusions from it. That is why before the conduct of any kind of such researches one must make up a draft, or a proposal or the research study, in which all the aims of the research, its objectives, methods of its conduct, research questions and the ways of the processing and evaluation of the information should be indicated (Rampolla, 2007). Goals This very paper is the proposal for the historical research study of one of the musical genres that is very popular and influential nowadays. This very music genre is jazz, and the current proposal is developed in order to outline the main ideas of the research, i. e. its aims, objectives, questions and methodology (Cox, 2006). The importance of this topic nowadays can not be underestimated because the modern world is greatly influenced by the culture of entertainment, and the very musical direction of jazz is a part of that culture, although it is not very popular among the youth it is still very important. So, the research will allow us to take a closer look at this music genre and understand its main principles and basic ideas. Besides, the jazz genre is a reflection of various social problems of today. It depicts the issues of racism, sexism, racial and social inequalities, as well as all drawbacks of the modern society, thus giving us the chance to change them for better. All this is reflected in a light musical form which is sometimes hard to understand but which is relaxing and pleasant for people’s ears. Historical Background The direction in music that was later called jazz has its roots deep in the history of nations from Africa and the Caribbean. Although, the majority of historians call the beginning of the 20th century as the date of its birth, there are different opinions according to which jazz takes its roots long ago, in the epoch of colonial wars of Great Britain, France, Spain, etc. People from the countries conquered by these empires were turned into slaves and brought either to Europe or to the United States of America. They were suppressed in different ways and expressed their anger and wish of freedom by means of armed rebellions, and by some peaceful means like music. That is when jazz appeared as the expression of social interests of the oppressed people. With the course of time, the music transformed into more skillful performances, and only in the late 19th – early 20t
Communication is a complex process that involves encoding, transmitting, and decoding the message. Any communication process involves several elements with different roles that communication participants play and various types of messages. In general, participants play five types of roles in the communication process and five types of messages ranging from the sender’s original intended message and received message. This essay will provide an example of each of the elements of the communication process. The primary element of the communication is the message itself; in marketing purposes, the intended message is the information that the marketer wants to convey to the target audience. The message could be geared towards satisfying customers’ expectations, such as providing the rationale for buying the product. For example, the initial message of Mars Inc. (sender) states that the Snickers bar could quickly satisfy the sense of hunger. Through the process of encoding, the advertising agency (encoder) changes the message into a short slogan (encoded message): you are not you when you are hungry. Next, with the addition of visual components, the encoded message is spread by media (medium), such as newspaper and magazine ads, resulting in a new type of transmitted message. When the ad catches an individual’s eye, he could discuss the message and its short yet clear intent with one of his friends (decoder), engaging in the decoding process. Eventually, the decoded message reaches the consumer (receiver) and conveys the idea that in case of sudden hunger, one should buy a Snickers bar, as being hungry affects the regular way of thinking. Lastly, the audience’s reaction presents the feedback to the message; in modern society, the reactions are often found in the online space on websites that specialize in publishing customers’ reviews of products. In this case, the researcher could look for the recent customer reviews; however, in some cases, the company might be interested in hiring an outside agency to research the influence of the marketing campaign. For example, the marketing agency (researcher) could conduct a series of interviews with consumers to define whether the marketing campaign received positive or negative fee
The federal government relies on three major sources of revenue to finance its’ fiscal year budget. They include: individual tax income, social insurance taxes and corporate income taxes respectively (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 2011). Revenues from individual tax income have been escalating steadily as federal government continues raising tax rates. For instance, in 2008 total revenues from individual income tax amounted to $ 1,146 billion, while current projection indicates that the government will collect $ 2,475 billion in 2014 (C.B.O., 2009). Secondly, social insurance taxes have also been increasing steadily corresponding with ever-increasing tax rates. In 2008, the federal government collected a total of $ 900 billion, while 2014 projections indicate that the government will garner $ 1,403 billion from social insurance taxes (C.B.O., 2009). However, it is imperative to note that social insurance taxes, which are levied against salaries and wages, have recorded the highest growth rate as the government continues increasing rates and income limits. Similarly, corporate income taxes have also been rising steadily though not as fast as individual tax income and social insurance taxes because of reduced profitability. Based on C.B.O.’s Baseline Budget Projections, corporate income taxes averaged at an insignificant figure of $ 355 billion in 2009, while individual income taxes and social insurance taxes were estimated at $2,475 and $1,043 billion respectively (C.B.O., 2009). The federal government spends its revenues on three major and mandatory programs namely: Social security, Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, discretionary spending, which involves money spent on defense and related programs is ranked on the same scale with social security spending. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 2009 report, both defense and social security expenditure amounted to 21% each in 2008 fiscal year. This amount translates to $625 billion defense expenditure and $ 617 billion social security expenditure. The social security expenditure keeps rising as the federal government strives to support the ever increasing programs such as retirement benefits programs, disability benefits and survivors’ benefits. On the other hand, the federal expenditure on Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP amounted to $599 billions in 2008 which translates to 20% of the total government budget. Medicare programs which provides healthcare coverage to individuals over 65years was allocated a total of $391 billion, while the remaining amount was shared equally between Medicaid and CHIP (C.B.O., 2009). According to CBO projections, federal revenues have been declining steadily, and it is expected that the decline will be more pronounced in the coming years. However, federal
Introduction Problem Pharmaceutical companies have experienced impressive growth with the enhancement of technological development and the introduction of new opportunities for carrying out research, enhancing the quality of the end product, and delivering products to end customers (Coccia 2014). However, information technologies have also opened an array of opportunities for exploring new ways of marketing products, the use of digital tools being the key change (Huhmann & Limbu 2016). However, due to the lack of the ability to adapt, most pharmaceutical companies have been experiencing significant difficulties in managing their digital tools and the information that they receive with the help of these tools (Huhmann & Limbu 2016). Herein lies the necessity to identify the areas of the greatest concern and provide viable solutions to these issues to help pharmaceutical companies continue to deliver the services of the required quality. Objectives The goal of the paper is to study the range of problems that pharmaceutical organizations have to manage when using digital marketing, as well as determine possible avenues for improving the current situation and offering pharmaceutical companies a chance to succeed in the global economy. By scrutinizing the factors that have led to the development of the problem, one will be able to build the framework that will encompass every possible issue. As a result, gradual improvement can be expected. Research Question What problems are pharmaceutical organizations currently facing regarding the use of digital marketing strategies and the management of digital information, and how can these issues be resolved? Literature Review: Essential Concerns for Pharmaceutical Companies at Present Skills Acquisition The range of opportunities for targeting an array of new audiences and attracting their attention with clever marketing that modern digital tools provide is truly ample (Huhmann & Limbu 2016). Digital marketing opens a plethora of opportunities for managing available information resources to obtain crucial data about a target demographic and its needs (Rasheed et al. 2017). Furthermore, the application of the specified devices can become the platform for building a stronger connection with target audiences (Coccia 2014). However, most pharmaceutical companies seem to have troubles teaching their staff members to develop skills that are necessary to manage digital tools and obtain crucial data (Coccia 2018). Although the identified problem is relatively easy to address by providing employees with training sessions, the lack of motivation for learning new skills among staff, coupled with comparatively high prices for supplying staff members with the resources required for training and learning, makes the process rather difficult to implement (Lagat & Frankwick 2017). Introduction of Changes The levels of resistance toward change are also quite high among employees in the specified scenario, which also hinders t
