I believe that the flashback in the middle of Casablanca is a great implementation of the technique and allows viewers to fully comprehend the complicated relationship between the leading characters. I also think it is necessary for the composition of the movie since spectators do not have enough stimuli to sympathize with the love of Rick and Ilsa before the flashback. Their memories provide the required background to create immersion for viewers. According to Brett Lamb, the primary principle of the first act in the Hollywood narrative is establishing the genre, characters, setting, and mood of the movie (2019). I believe that the film excels in every single one of these parameters and successfully introduces the viewers to the world of Casablanca. Furthermore, the ending of the first act is indicated with the turning point that commences the action, and once again it conforms to the classical Hollywood narrative. I believe that the ending of Casablanca does conform to the classical Hollywood narrative. The structure of the third act of the film lines up perfectly with the standard Hollywood composition – the breaking point into climax followed up by denouement and finishes with the final image (Lamb, 2019). The film aligns with this arrangement perfectly, and that is why Casablanca is one of the most brilliant examples of classical Hollywood movies. In general, the role of flashbacks in movies should not be underestimated since they add value to the plot and enrich the narrative. In the case of Casablanca, I also believe that the implementation of this technique is necessary to demonstrate the background of the leading characters and the complicated relationship between them. Without this knowledge, the viewers might perceive the bond between Rick and Ilsa in an unintended way. I believe that both responses excellently portrayed the purpose of flashbacks in the narrative and explained why this technique was necessary for the film. The mentioned notion of emotional immersion into the relationship between Rick and Ilsa also plays a vital role in understanding the composition of Casablanca. I think that both responses once again were able to grasp the main concepts of the basic characteristics of the opening sequence in the Hollywood narrative. The first act generally introduces the characters, setting, and mood of the movie and also establishes the primary roles, such as the protagonist and his love interest. Furthermore, as mentioned in the second answer, it is essential to recognize the significance of the typified characters since it is indeed a part of the Hollywood structure but frequently overlooked. The ultimate part of the first act is the breaking point that commences the action, and Casablanca conforms to it as well. According to the Hollywood narrative structure, the central focus of the third act is the climax of the movie, and both responders did mention this fact. The unexpected plot twist alongside the drama of the action makes for a perfect denouement of the film. The inner thoughts and worries of the leading characters are excellently demons
Introduction Supervision is very important in ensuring the improvement of education quality. Research shows that improving quality of is not just a matter of having the necessary resources. How the resources are managed is very essential and plays a big role in the overall success of an education system. It is important that teachers and students maintain good relationships. These good relationships should exist among the teachers and also between teachers and head teachers. (Oliva, 1993) The relationship between supervisors and teachers also plays an important role in enhancing quality education. Once a school lacks professional supervision, and the necessary support structures that teachers can use, then this leads to deterioration of quality of education therein. This paper is dealing with aspects of supervision There are recommendations on how to improve supervision protocols (Oliva, 1993). Discussion Supervisors have got various tasks that they need to look out in schools. They have to ensure that teachers are adhering to the stipulated curriculum. This is because there are instances when teachers just teach students what they feel like teaching. This always leads to poor performance in the school. Supervision in schools is normally good as it helps in ensuring that teachers are teaching the students. This is also one of the aspects of supervision. This is carried out by scrutinizing the students and the teacher’s notes. This helps the supervisor to ascertain whether teachers teach students well or not. This helps in knowing teachers that simply evade classes or those that go to class to chat about other issues (Poole, 1989). Another aspect of supervision in schools is in line with instructional development. Where teachers are guided by the supervisors such that their instructions to the students are in line with the curriculum and they should also be pragmatic. In carrying out supervision, teachers are helped by the supervisor to plan for instruction. This is in terms of developing lesson and teaching plans. The supervisors help teachers to come up with lesson plans that are attainable within the stipulated time. The plans made by teachers have to give room for students to do other co curricular activities. Another aspect of supervision is helping teachers in their classroom management. This involves overall control of students’ participation. Supervisors ensure that teachers in schools know and implement proper classroom management techniques as expected in the curriculum (Sweeney, 2003). Another aspect of supervision in schools normally involves the supervisors helping teachers on a one to one basis. Teachers are helped to plan and also to implement the curriculum. In case any teacher has got problem with evaluation of the curriculum then assistance is given by the supervisors. In supervi
Introduction This paper is a research proposal aimed at demonstrating the importance of branding to organisations and consumers. The analysis is focused on the food and beverage industry using Starbucks as a case study. Based on the expansive nature of its operations and the extensive scope of branding in marketing communications, data will be collected from secondary research. Importance of Branding for Organisations and Consumers Branding is a key part of marketing because it represents a company’s perceived value in the minds of its customers. Relative to this statement, Müller (2018) defines branding as a company’s decision to develop a name, symbol or design that consumers associate with. Organisations often use branding strategies to increase sales, create awareness about a product or improve customer loyalty (Gürhan-Canli, Sarial-Abi and Hayran, 2018). Branding also allows consumers and companies to have a common set of expectations to be met by both parties (Srivastava and Thomas, 2015). To investigate its importance to companies and consumers, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs will be used as the main theoretical foundation for the review because it explains people’s motivations and ideals (Stoyanov, 2017). Therefore, the role of branding in informing Starbuck’s success will be analysed within the context of understanding the main motivations influencing consumer purchasing behaviours, as presented in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. Justification for Sector and Brand Starbucks is one of America’s most recognisable brands in the food and beverage industry. Founded in the early 1970s, the company has grown from a small franchise to be one of the most formidable brands in the industry (Starbuck Coffee Company, 2020). Furthermore, even as substitute brands continue to enter the market, the restaurant maintains a good record of quality and brand positioning (Starbuck Coffee Company,
The book “The Household of God: Lecture on the Nature of the Church” written by Newbigin in 1953 explores the history of Christendom to understand and explain the meaning of the word ‘church.’ The author is determined to prove that different Churches such as Catholic, Protestant, and Pentecostal have different answers to this question, as their experiences with each other and the world are shaped by their history and unique views. Newbigin points out that the Church as a whole has two major directions, as he outlines its eschatological and missionary nature (18). The book does not insist that the missionary nature of the Church is its only defining characteristic as this way of thinking can cloud one’s judgment towards the impact of religion. The author also examines how the Church operates outside its usual territory by comparing its characteristics and rules to those of other non-Christian communities. The book’s central strong point is the experience of its author. Newbigin provides his readers with a detailed explanation of missionary theology and defines the Church from the standpoint of a knowledgeable person. His influence as a theologist is described by various authors (Nikolajsen 12). Moreover, the author provides a significant amount of information about different religious traditions not only for the Protestant Church but also for Catholic and Pentecostal theologies. It is possible that this insight is what allows the author to highlight the idea of the missionary nature of the Church as a whole. For instance, Bevans investigates the history of Catholic ecclesiology and comes to similar conclusions about the Church’s history and essence (188). The missionary impact on other cultures, described by Newbigin, is also supported by other publications. Interestingly, all authors focus their attention on the communal nature of religion (Sanneh 22). Current authors note the importance of Newbigin’s impact on the revival of missiology in church (Hill 173). Therefore, the book is an excellent source of knowledge about missiology. However, the book possesses some potential weaknesses. First of all, the history covered in the text does not represent the current situation of the Church. Although religious movements may not evolve significantly every year, some societal changes still affect the relationship between the Church and the people. Furthermore, the relations between the Church and the mission, as discussed by Newbigin, also change with time. Another weak point is the scarcity of information about other religions, as the book looks at the history of the missionary movement only from the position of Christian theology. Moreover, as Garner states, the community and its culture should also become a part of the discussion, which limits the relevance of Newbigin’s work to the current state of religion (22). Although Newbigin admits faith cannot exist outside one’s culture, he thinks the latter is also significantly impacted by the Church at all times. Some can argue that this view undermines the positive outlook on the mission in which he believes. In my opinion, Newbigin’s
Abstract This paper provides an explicit comparison and contrast of Iran, Turkey, and Israel regarding their political institutions and context. It extracts and critically compares various dominant domains; the political institutions and context, political cultures, civil relations and behavior, and governance system. Besides, it shows the difference in the political science of the nations since they offer a shared type of historical background. The change of compared cultures has enabled this research by providing a platform where individuals with a shared history can be reviewed. Introduction In regards to geographic proximity and geopolitical aspects, Turkey, Israel, and Iran have a wide range of political ties, including conflicts. The research of these countries is a topic of great concern that requires detailed review. This comparative paper focuses on the republic of Turkey, the state of Israel, and Iran due to two critical reasons. First, the countries share a common geopolitical location, and, secondly, they have had long-term and historical-political ties. The two reasons above have brought the necessary attention needed to have a shaped and better-understood comparison of the political institution in the three nations. Geopolitical position refers to the Middle East, where the states are located. However, Turkey is not entirely perceived to be in the Middle East. The Middle East is diverse on political science grounds, and alterations of any kind in the region affect the countries positioned in this region geographically. Besides, the relationship ties among these three nations are another reason to draw attention and interest in matters of political institution understanding. The transformation from the old Ottoman Government system into a modernized newly nation of Turkey, stabilization of Iran, and establishment of the state of Israel with the political values along irrevocable political cultures and behavior are vital and essential elements to consider while comparing and contrasting the states in terms of Political Institutionalism and context. This paper will demonstrate the various diverse domains of political science. In this comparative analysis, a special focus is on the political context and institution, political culture and behavior, system of governance, and the political economies of the three states. Political Institution; historical background This section of the paper compares the political system of the three states and seeks to reconcile diverse domains in the complex Middle East region. The validity of the use of comparative aspects in political science is well-grounded; comparative political science is one of the most effective ways of having a better understanding of political contexts. By comparing and contrasting political contexts, people gain meaningful information hence facilitating explanation and interpretation of the experiences in the three states. In the early period of the Middle East, Iranian, Turkish, and Israeli cultures were informed and thus took part in the establishment of various states by acting together. For instance, Iran
Introduction Problem Statement Veterans are some of the most important segments of the USA’s population, bearing in mind that they sacrificed their lives and time to serve the nation in the past. Bearing in mind the commitment that they show in their line of duty, it follows that the government should not ignore their welfare after retirement. However, there has been evident reluctance in regard to the manner in which the government handles the veterans, especially when it comes to employment. In this regard, the people who join services after their secondary school level find it difficult to compete favorably for job opportunities with their peers. Understandably, most of these vets, who join the military and other fields of specialization after high school, have deficient and untranslatable skills. In addition, they use a lot of time serving the federal government such that they have little time to make business networks and relations. As a result, they cannot start businesses and develop them successfully without facing significant difficulties that impede their proficiency. The incapability to develop businesses successfully is also occasioned by the lack of concrete managerial knowledge that is crucial in the process of stipulating and actualizing financial strategies. In an attempt to the case of unemployment and other issues related to the veterans, the federal government conceived the veteran administration that was mandated to oversee their welfare. However, it has been established that the overall rate of veteran unemployment is essentially above the civilian’s one. This shows that employment is available, but the terms of engagement favor ordinary citizens more than the vets. In essence, this poses a question of whether employment is equitable and sustainable between vets and the rest of the citizens. Importance of the Research The conception of veteran administration was a crucial undertaking as far as employment and the general welfare of the subjects are concerned. However, the alarming level of unemployment evokes the need to research the effectiveness of this institution in light of fulfilling its most crucial mandates. Particularly, the role of reducing and eliminating the level of unemployment among veterans should be evaluated in order to determine whether the goal has been achieved satisfactorily. The research will thus provide a reliable basis for improving the existing strategies and introduce new ones in the quest to eradicate the unemployment menace. In addition, it will form the basis of establishing the importance of this institution as far as the unemployment of veterans is concerned. Literature Review There have been various research studies that have been conducted in light of determining the plight of the subjects in relation to unemployment caused by the incapability of the veteran administration to curb the menace. In light of unmasking this condition, some of the data released by the various institutions at different periods will be reviewed. High Unemployment Rates In 2013, research was conducted to determine the rates of unemployment among the post 9/11 attack
Liberal capitalist democracy is defined as a situation where the free market dominates the economy and means of production are privately owned i.e. a degree of economic freedom where industries owned by private individuals are intermingled with economies that are centrally planned. The degree of freedom includes possession of means of production, for example, factories, stores, farms, industries, and many others. Freedom to buy items which can be used by individuals as well as for resale, for example, buying a car for use or for selling. Freedom to sell items, for example selling a pair of shoes to other people for them to wear or sell it to other people. It also includes the freedom to hire organizations that creates wealth, for example, hiring a consultancy company to offer advice on various issues in the production line. It includes also the re-organization of the enterprises in order to make a profit, for instance, changing management of the enterprise or adding new departments in the organization. Communicating through newspapers, advertisements, making deals, creating business partners, free speech, and creating new markets are other degrees of freedom enjoyed in a liberal capitalist democracy. It also involves holding peaceful protests, marches, suing the government, making petitions, and making laws that may necessitate profit-making and laws that improve the working conditions of the workers. In a liberal capitalist democracy, distribution, investment, production, income, and pricing of goods and services are determined by the forces of demand and not by the government or individuals. Groups or individuals act as “legal persons” to trade capital goods, land, money, and other economic items. Examples of liberal capitalist democracies include the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and many other countries of the world. According to my opinion, Canada is a Liberal capitalist democracy because it has adopted a shift away from regulatory criteria towards free-market criteria in its policies. Out of economic necessity, the government provides technical infrastructure and regulations in the economy ensuring that carrying out business activities in that country is simple thus creating more investment opportunities. The country was ranked 10 out of 161 countries in terms of index of economic freedom,14 out of 111 countries in terms of economic performance and this was attributed to the technological advancement brought by the private owners of businesses. The country maintains a diversified economy and relies mostly on its abundant resources and trade. Its multicultural and bilingual nature brings about specialization in different fields of product
Introduction Carl Rogers is the founder of Person-centered theory that was developed in the 1940s. The central idea of the Rogerian approach is that if the practitioner is empathetic and accepts the clients with absolute positive regards, the outcome can be positive. Even today this theory is widely accepted and is said to assist in the treatment process and progress. The theory has become one of the most accepted theories of counseling and therapy ever since its origin in the 1940s (Greene, 2000). Psychological problems have been a major area of research. Today there are several theories and therapies that are developed to aid the treatment of people with psychological problems. However, there are only a few who have worked on aspects such as how to deal with patients. The person-centered theory is also called client-centered, student-centered, and even non-directive theory based on its application. This paper intends to discuss the origin, importance, assumptions, and relevance particularly in the field of social work. Additionally, major assumptions of Person-centered therapy, the goals of treatment, the role and attributes of the therapist, and the contributions and limitations of Person-centered therapy are discussed in detail. Historical Origins of the Theory Carl Rogers while working for his doctoral work, engaged in child study. He developed a deep interest in this subject and wanted to spend his expertise in this field. Due to his deep interest, he worked with various organizations dealing with children and in 1939, Rogers wrote: “The Clinical Treatment of the Problem Child” which was based on his experience in working with troubled children. In 1942 while he was
