Introduction At the time of contrasting and comparing the traits of Shakespeare’s Othello and Sophocles’ Oedipus , it is vital to recognize that it has to be through the means of varied theatrical activities. It has to be noted that many productions and interpretations have been issued concerning there plays as they look similar. Even if two different writers wrote them, both Oedipus and Othello are great people; they end up meeting their downfall. They also have tragic traits as they eventually kill someone they love. This essay compares and contrasts Othello and Oedipus Rex characters(Shakespeare 16). Prominence The two actors, Othello and Oedipus, are presented with prominent character traits. Othello, in his rein, was highly respected general, whose service record could be regarded as impeccable in the Venetian troop. On the other hand, Oedipus was just a new appointed king in his community of Thebes, guided by Tiresias within the plot. The two leaders in the two poems were all valued and honored by their subjects in their different territories, as is clear from the settings. The two characters had to overcome several obstacles in a manner that led many of their followers to respect and honor them, and their royal positions (Shakespeare 24 & 167) Othello can be considered to be a black member of his society. Nevertheless, at the time of the Caucasian race, he was looked upon by society as very much superior as compared to other races. Though he was much respected and honored as a general, his people still at other times, he was down looked upon just as a human being (Smith 34). The illustration of such regard and expression can be seen in the opposition of Desdemona’s father. Tragedy When performing comparison of Othello and Oedipus, one should note on the similarity in their downfalls. In the process of fulfilling the definition of a term tragedy, the main actors have to lead their downfall. The same thing happens to the two actors; Rex Oedipus and Othello. Each one of them has some difficulties in telling what has been the truth in their leadership. Looking at Othello, he can be considered as a person who can be easily cheated. His main mistake was trusting evil individuals and losing trust in his wife. He was just easily tricked by the masterminds of Lago, who had the minds of destroying him. They said, “ They are loves I bear to you ” (Dana 234), and he ended believing them. While when he was just about to kill his wife, he did not believe her when she said that “ My lord, you know I love you” ( Dana 234). After the realization of Othello that he as a king has some troubles in looking at the reality, he was misguided into believing that his own and real spouse has been engaging in extramarital affairs with one of his own trusted lieutenant named Cassio. Othello ended up killing Desdemona, and after getting to know the scheme of Lago, he ended up taking his own life, hence resulting in his downfall. On the side of Oedipus, his past actio
Due to increased rate of dumping of dirt in the Community Rivers, students should carry out a river clean-up project (Crews, 2002). This involves removal of the solid waste dumped in the water and purification of the already dissolved materials (Crews, 2002). Community clean up will also be included in the project, whereby students will divide themselves into different groups that will survey around the community cleaning up areas already infested by the shrubs. It is also necessary for students to prepare for the procedures and the activities to be carried out prior to the project. Such activities include a public survey of the whole community, meeting for discussions and planning of schedules (Belton, 2010). A map of the area should also be obtained, and the students should determine how to maneuver around the place. Students are to divide themselves into different groups, with each one having its leader to care the burden of care and control. The project will also involve education of society on the necessary measures in order to reduce disposal of wastes in the river (Crews, 2002). Thus, the students will have to perfect their communication skil
The first component of the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) program was Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This is an educational right for those students who have disabilities. It entails the provision of special or regular education to those that are handicapped in any way as those that are not would. In addition, it states that there should be aids and services as may be required that should adhere to the procedural safeguards as is outlined under the law. This program is under the Department of Education that outlines regulations that define the manner in which individualized programs with special aids are provided, preferably in the regular curriculum, to those that have a disability that disrupts normal learning. The goal of the program is simply to guarantee an individual with a learning disability a normal life with opportunities for further education, independent living and employment. IDEA stated that all those between the ages 3 and 21 years and had disabilities had a right to education. The initial program also stated that the number of those with disabilities in this age bracket and under the care of the state would increase by 10% starting in 1979 when the program actually began. The services must be provided at no cost to the individual and all costs must be covered by the state. Secondly, the individual with the disability should be evaluated. The nature of the evaluation has to be full and individualized focusing on the specific disabilities that he/she has. Trained personnel are involved in this process and there should be many evaluations done as a single one is not allowed by law. The individual’s evaluation should be done in the areas of his/her disability, by a multidisciplinary team, in his/her native language and with the specific goal of identifying need areas. There should also not be any kind of discrimination on any line including on the disability itself. Thirdly, those individuals with disabilities are entitled to an individualized education program (IEP). The program should be built by teachers in conjunction with counselors, parents of the individual and the principal in the school responsible. The program details the services that the affected individual is entitled to receive, the environment in which the program will be conducted and the duration of time that the program is expected to take. The result of this evaluation should be a detailed plan of action that is focused on the individual’s particular affliction. Fourth on the list is consideration of the most suitable environment. The IDEA describes it as the LRE whic
Modern art has always been the object of careful attention and lively discussions. Among the examples belonging to modern art, so many works are the sources of a great number of critical works. Guernica by Picasso is one of the brightest examples. You can find many critical works devoted to the picture and that of Gijs Van Hensbergen is the most famous one. In its book, the author tries to show his attitude to the representatives of modern art and this work in particular. Guernica is a depiction of the airborne devastation of a Basque city by the fascists in the period of the Spanish Civil war. For a long time, Guernica was hidden from the public and viewers. According to the words of the officials, this work was too confusing for television and other mass media, and it might have a negative effect on public opinion. But, as we know, everything that is forbidden and hidden from the eyes of the publicity seems to be more interesting. As a result, the attempts to put out Guernica of the sight have led to an invigorated interest and increased attention to this painting. Later, the images of this painting appeared practically everywhere, on the cities walls and even on the clothes. Of course, this painting has both admirers and opponents. Guernica by Gijs Van Hensbergen recounts the prevailing story of Picasso’s masterwork, a picture that is the symbol of peace and respect despite the fact that it is the evidence of the violence of the war. At first sight, this painting is very difficult to understand, as it is performed in a manner peculiar to Picasso, but after some considerations, one can see that Picasso put some special sense in his work: Art is ‘often hard to understand at first but, as our minds and muscles, our artistic sensibilities are strengthened by exercise and hard work. I have never thought of art as something primarily pleasant.’ Guernica was a difficult painting, but it was also the paradigm of the modern (Hensbergen, p. 119). The words of the author are very truthful, to my mind. Sometimes, it is very difficult to understand art. Everyone has his own attitude to some representatives of the art. But our minds and imagination need to be developed like our bodies with the help of training and hard work. In order to be more conscious and esthetically developed, people should enlarge their scope. Nowadays we are concerned about problems that seem more important than art. As a result, art seems so difficult and incomprehensible. Telling that Guernica is a paradigm of the modern, the author tries to show that this picture is the so-called symbol of modern times. It depicts war and violence that can be cal
Over the last two decades, violent crime rates and youth crimes have steadily declined. Nevertheless, improvements to return the juvenile justice system to its initial goal have been slower. Suppose the court system intends to discourage and educate adolescents so that they can thrive as adults. In that case, it is critical to assess the mission’s effectiveness whenever a minor is prosecuted as an adult in the justice system. While the objective, as mentioned before, is to educate the offenders, specific changes are expected in order to provide the best results. The juvenile court system was created in order to prevent recidivism among children (Scialabba). For example, in the next ten years, the juvenile courts might reconsider putting the adolescents in the same facility as adult offenders while still punishing them accordingly. These circumstances can lead to a bad influence on children, and as a result, this practice will do more harm than good. In 20 years, zero toleration policies will stop being prevalent in the court systems. Often, representatives of minority groups are disregarded when it comes to the juvenile courts. In these cases, adolescents with capabilities and people of color are discriminated against. While racism and discrimination have lessened over the decades, the issues are still prevalent. If the drastic changes are not made in 10 years, they must happen in 20 years. In 50 years, the juvenile court system will probably go through immense changes. Due to global problems and acute political relations, the world will be subject to unprecedented events. Considering the possible impact on adolescents, more disruptive disorders, and addictions, numerous cases will be reviewed in the adult court. The juvenile court system will, therefore, review only minor offenses. Hence, while the juvenile court was established in order to prevent recidivism and guide adolescents, the punishments become more strict, and many cases are reviewed in the adult courts. As a result, over the course of decades, the court system will go through drastic changes while becoming more open-minded. The changes might help the adolescents steer clear of bad influence and receive proper prosecution. However, the court system in 50 years will most probably have to deal with more issues due to global problems.

Introduction The success of any business is a function of the quality of its management. There are different roles and functions of management. Generally, there are four functions of management they are; Planning- this is ensuring that activities are well thought and coordinated. Strategic decisions of various functions of an organization are considered when planning; it involves reflective thinking that considers an organization’s goals and deriving methods to attain them. This is the initial function of management; Organizing- this is structuring of function in an organization to ensure that goals in the organization have been attained effectively. Functions must be planned in a way that there are high returns in production. The function also involves ensuring that experienced human resource is deployed in various sections; Leading- to get things done, a manager must provide good leadership in the organization. He must understand various functions at his level and lead by example. People are more likely influenced through set examples by managers instead of given directions. A good manager should ensure that he offers good leadership to the business and; Controlling -this is overseeing functions in the organization and ensuring that they are well conducted. It involves the monitoring of activities in an organization. One managerial role/function, which cuts across the above functions of management, is human resource management. To have effective management managers should lead by example (leading function), they must plan the level of expertise, and the number of employees in an organization. Human resources fetched should be organized and controlled for efficiency in the company. Marriot International Corporation is a company in the hospitality industry whose management has undertaken its functions keenly. This paper using the case study of Marriott Corporation discusses the functions of management in precise human resource management. Marriott International Corporation Marriott International was established in 1927 by Willard Marriot and his bride, Alice. The two started by putting a beer stand in Washington D.C. The beer stand could only accommodate nine people at the start of its operations. It was named “Hot Shoppe” where they prepared hot food substances like tacos, tamales, and chilli. These food items were mainly served to clients during winter months. In 1929, Marriott International was officially incorporated as Hot Shoppes, Inc. It experienced fast growth. In 1953, the company was listed as a public company (Marriott International, Inc. Official website). It laid its competitive advantage in world markets on product diversification. The company opened Twin Bridges Marriott located in Arlington, Virginia; this was the first hotel opened by the company. With its fast-growing pace, Twin Bridges Marriott went international in 1966; this happened after the company took over the running of an airline catering kitchen in Venezuel
Introduction The United States of America government employs various approaches in preventing the occurrence of criminal activities . These approaches constitute legal and social institutions that encompass the criminal justice system. Walker (1992) defines criminal justice system as “a set of legal and social institutions for enforcing the criminal law in accordance with a defined set of procedural rules and limitations” (p. 7). The objective of the criminal justice system is to ensure proper enforcement of the standards of conduct in protecting the rights of the individuals and the community in a free society. The criminal justice system has three components namely, law enforcement agent, courts and correction measures to criminals. This essay explores the dominant approaches employed by the three components of criminal justice system: law enforcement, courts
Introduction Films are still or motion pictures shown on screens and in theatres in rapid succession. The rapid succession creates the perception of a continuous story as told by the creator. According to Arnheim, movies represent the culture of individuals in the society (345). In this paper, the author will analyze Pepe le Moko. The film was produced by Julien Duvivier in 1937. It reflects life in Algeria under French colonialists. The events in the movie took place between 1830 and 1962. The film underlines the impacts of colonialism, race, and globalization on French history. Differences between the Representation of the European Quarter and the Casbah in Pepe le Moko Two settings are more pronounced in the film. They include the Arabian quarters, also called the Casbah, and the area occupied by the Europeans ( Pepe le Moko ). The Casbah is used in the film to represent the colonized people of color (Vann 170). In addition, the Casbah is depicted as both alluring and repelling. It is negatively represented as a dirty and crowded place characterized by unfamiliar foods and prostitution. Duvivier depicts the Casbah as a place that lacks proper governance ( Pepe le Moko ). The region is out of the control of the French police. As such, people like Pepe, who are master criminals, call this place a home. The criminal elements feel safe from the authorities. On the other hand, the European quarters are elegant and classy. Duvivier uses the lovely Gaby and a picture of a civilized society to paint a picture of an affluent suburb ( Pepe le Moko ). The place is safe and patrolled by the French police. The presence of high class hotels also indicates a well organized and peaceful society (Halacoglu 67). The existence of infrastructure, such as the airport where Pepe follows Gaby, is another indication of a civilized community. Differences between Mise-en-Scene and Image Composition in the Two Spaces With regards to mise-en-scene, the scenes portrayed in the film show the differences between the Casbah and the European Quarters (Vann 190). Image composition, including visual and imaging, is portrayed by the presence of the object showing the differences in the living standards of the inhabitants ( Pepe le Moko ). The natives living in the Casbah are poor. They live in a crowded and dangerous neighborhood. On the other hand, women are dressed skimpily to bring out their sexual appeal and create a picture of prostitution in the community. Duvivier emphasizes on the ‘vermin’ and foul smell as another indication of the deterioration of the environment in Casbah ( Pepe le Moko ). In the civilized European quarters, Gaby and other characters are used to show the elegance of the White people. They adorn expensive suits, shoes, and monogrammed shirts. On the contrary, the natives appear sly, unattractive, cowardly, and treacherous ( Pepe le Moko ). Filming of the Spaces and its Relationship to Various Themes The Theme of Entrapment Pepe is a doomed ‘anther’ and a mastermind criminal ( Pepe le Moko ). He goes into hiding to escap
Introduction Louise Rachel Carson is widely remembered as a nature writer and a biologist for the United States of America. She is nowadays known as the major credit towards a global movement for the environment. This book; Silent Spring, was as a result her turning attention towards problems to the environment attributed due to synthetic pesticides and also just as a result of being attentive to the environment. The book resulted into bringing to attention concerns about the environment to many Americans. Being first issued in 1962, Silent Spring has been accredited with spurring reversal in the policy of pesticides in America to extend that many pesticides including DDT had been banned from usage. The publication of this book also led to the formation of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). By the time of her death from cancer of the breast only 18 months after publication of this book, she had been awarded a freedom medal by the president and indeed a revolution to fight against use of pesticides had been created. Summary of the Book This book by Carson is started with a small fictional tale of a town in America which has suffered plagues in series. At the end of the first chapter the write does acknowledge that she was writing of an imaginary town but on the contrary, each catastrophe that had been cataloged had already occurred somewhere. Therefore it is fact that communities that are real had suffered already a good number of these catastrophes. In chapter two, the writer identifies the sources of the ills in the first chapter. These ills are proliferating averagely at about 500 per year. Unfortunately, their massive quantities are virtually applied everywhere. They most importantly had both long and short-term consequences on wildlife, animals and plants. The high danger represented by these substances through an analogy that surface over severally. She equates pesticides to radiations of atomic nature. This is because there are invisible although they bear deadly effects they are known to only manifest after a delayed period if time. Chapter 3 of this book further tells us of how destructive the new pesticides are. With slower decomposition rate and greater potency, these new pesticides are actually more dangerous than the ones before them. The new pesticides have actually a tendency of being fatty tissue concentrated the write clarifies to us that a danger might be constituted by toxins through their small doses accumulation in bodies. Also the propensity carried by such substances tends to concentrate on moving up along food chains. The high life interconnectedness of the 3 systems of biology is stressed up to the 6 th chapter from 4 th and 5 th chapters. These 3 biological systems are plants, water systems and lastly those found on soil. The difficulty of containing water due to its interconnectivity and fluidity is vividly discussed by the writer. She clearly points out the fact that though it may be unintended, runoffs that are as a result of spraying on agriculture in conjunction with other poisons are introduced into the s
Public health care is a sector of the governmental influence which is aimed at following the health of the nation and informing those about some specific issues which may harm them. Much attention is paid to the problems which exist in the society, and Public Health is also considered, still, not all issues in the Public health are touched. According to the information provided in the Public Health and Terrorism , one of the topics in a radio program All Things Considered , much attention is paid to the global problems which do not have direct influence on human health, like biological terrorism, but less attention is directed at more essential problems. To make a public health care more effective, three specific steps should be followed, assessment, policy development and assurance. Assessment Assessment is the first step on the way for problem decision. The problem should be understood. For example, health care system should be aware of the cases of heart attacks and their connection to smoking. Assessment should b provided on the basis of the evaluation of the community health needs (Gostin, 2000). In the relation to our problem, heart attacks and smoking, it is important to gather the information devoted to the number of people who suffered from heart attacks and indicate the percentage rate of those who smoked and who not. This may allow the public health care community to understand the relation of smoking to heart attacks. Assessment also involves the understanding of the needs required for addressing an issue and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the chosen solution. Policy development Assessment of the influence of smoking on heart attacks allows us to understand that smoking influences the number of heart attacks people experience. There are no specific policies which may help reduce the level of influence of smoking in society. The ban on smoking in public placed developed by different states could have been the best policy in the relation to the reduction of the heart attacks in the society. The inability to smoke in public places might reduce the amount of smoked cigarettes and reduce their level on human organism and heart. Assurance Health care promotion is considered to be one of the best variants to re-imagine the basic understanding of the health care in the society. The main idea of the health care promotion is not to convince people to doing something by means of the governmental releases, but to help them make their choices on the basis of the r
