The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain

In the next few chapters of Huckleberry Finn, Twain introduces a new side of the King and the Duke that you hadn’t seen before. When they arrive in a small town on the river, they go aboard a ferryboat that is heading to Orleans. They hear a young boy talking about two men that were supposed to come aboard to head to their brother’s funeral, and that they would be getting a large inheritance from the brother. So like all greedy men, the king and the duke decide to pretend to be the two uncles and head to the house of their â€Å"brother† with Huck. I think twain uses the King and the Duke to show how another part of society is influencing Huck’s moral struggles. Since Huck met the king and duke, they’ve pretended to be people that they weren’t, and Huck allowed them to do so. Then, when they decide to pretend to be the uncles of a dead stranger, Huck allows them to go through with that action as well, and it almost costs all of them. I think that Twain is trying to show how there are several different kinds of people in society, and I think he has created different characters for practically all those types of people. I think the King and the Duke represent parts of the world that think that they can do whatever they want and be whoever they want and that it won’t come with consequences. They think they are really smart and creative for pretending to be brothers of a wealthy man, but they didn’t think of the dangers of playing those roles. For one thing, both of the real unclesShow MoreRelatedThe Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain940 Words   |  4 Pages S.Tibbs (1) Mr. Bassett ENG4U May, 2015 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, considered to be one of America’s greatest works of literature to this date, highlights Huck’s relationships with primary and secondary characters that he meets whilst journeying down the mississippi river.

People call books like Huck Finn and Gatsby classics, yet the idea that these books are actually read by everyone isn’t so. Twain isn’t just a classical writer because The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain I. Setting a. b. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begins in Huck’s hometown of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Originally, Huck lives in a clean estate with prim and proper Widow Douglas and Miss Watson who attempt to â€Å"sivilize† him. His drunken money-seeking father then abducts him and takes him to a dirty, isolated cabin across the Mississippi River. Huck escapes and floats down the river in an abandoned canoe to Jackson’s Island, lying in the middle of the Mississippi. Here, Huck finds runaway Jim. The peaceful, providing island tempts Huck and Jim to stay, but fearing that someone saw smoke from their fire, they float down the river on a raft. They intended to stop at Cairo and continue in a steamboat to the free states, but the†¦show more content†¦On the peaceful Jackson Island, he learns to relax and let time stand still. And while floating the river with Jim he becomes as untroubled as the steady Mississippi. The setting also affects both Huck and Jim’s feelings about slavery. When he first agrees to help Jim, he has only a few concerns about the legality and morality of his decision, but as they float further and further south, Huck has more and more concerns about getting caught, plausibly caused by the escalating racial tension in the south. Jim is originally very concerned about being sold south because he knows he will be treated poorly and separated from his family. As they near what they think is Cairo, Jim becomes confident and tells Huck about what he would do once he is free (248). This worries Huck so much that he decides to turn Jim in, but eventually changes his mind. Floating further down the river causes Jim more and more anxiety as they are heading deeper and deeper into the south he so dreaded. II. Point of View a. b. The point of view of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is first person. Huck narrates the book, so his perspective on two main issues, race and civility, help to enrich the story with his perspective. Like many in America in the early 19th century, the south specifically, Huck was raised in the midst of people who didn’t give the morality of slavery a second thought, as it was deeply installed in American society. So The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain 1. Twain must have thought Huck carried on his ideas best, and Huck is character that is quite dynamic throughout the story because everyone heavily influences him until he decides to take control of his own life. 2. The first act would be like an introduction to Huck’s life and how he lives with the widow because of his rough life. The next act would be his escape with Jim and starting his path up the river like his call to action. Huck’s â€Å"I’ll go to hell moment,† should be act three because that is the moment the audience sees him no longer on the fence about everything. The fourth act would be the plan to help Jim escape because freedom is so close yet so far. Obviously the last act will involve catching up with the characters and providing closure for most. 3. The first one would be Huck abusive father because he seems to be the only one who can truly hold back. Jim is running away from slavery and needs to get his family back too. The Wilks sisters need to find their voice and independence. Huck also needs to find himself and not bend to others will. The main ones are solved. Huck’s father dies. Jim finds his freedom. The Wilks sisters stop the king and the dauphin. Huck presumably figures part of his life out and then the book is left in the open. The bigger scale problems of society approving of slavery is defiantly not resolved nor in the present day. Human trafficking exists. Tom Sawyer’s stupidity is also incurable. 4.Each setting within itself brought a newShow MoreRelatedThe Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain940 Words   |  4 Pages S.Tibbs (1) Mr. Bassett ENG4U May, 2015 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, considered to be one of America’s greatest works of literature to this date, highlights Huck’s relationships with primary and secondary characters that he meets whilst journeying down the mississippi river.

Through Huck’s development of these relationships, his development as an individual is quite evident as novel progresses. So why is it that relationships are such a great influence to Huck? How have these relationships developed his character? To begin, we would have to look at Huck as an individual and how we are introduced to him as the novel begins. Huckleberry Finn is the protagonist and narrator of Huckleberry Finn. Huck, born and raised in St. Petersburg, Missouri is around the age of thirteen and the son of the town drunk. Huck’s personality can be defined by his hunger for self development, as he strives to educate himself unlike his friends.

Lord Of The Flies Quotes And Significance Essay Example For Students

Lord Of The Flies Quotes And Significance Essay Eyes shining, mouths open, triumphant, they savored the right of domination. Chapter 1, Page 29 This quote comes from the first chapter after the group of boys were able to make a fire after focusing sunlight with Piggys specs. The fire symbolizes civilization and good within the boys, and later in the story the fire being let out symbolized the evil and savagery that is developed on the island. They knew very well why he hadnt: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood Chapter 1, page 31 This passage occurs after Jack sees a piglet stuck in vines and pull out his knife to kill it. He hesitated and did not kill the pig because it had the chance to free itself and flee. Jack said he didnt kill the pig because he didnt know where to cut it and says that he will kill the next pig he sees. But here, obviously was the truth. This passage is significant because it shows that Jack was not a savaged but a disciplined, civilized person, who would not kill a pig without remorse. He felt himself facing something ungraspable Chapter 2, Page 37 This is in chapter 2, it describes Ralphs feeling of the beast. This later comes back in the book when Simon says that the beast is not a physical form but the inner evil within all of the boys. Ralph, to an extent, also realized this and fells that the beast is ungraspable physically, but does not realize that its the innate evil within humans. I agree with Ralph. Weve got to have rules and obey them. After all, were not savages. Were English, and the English are best at everything. So weve got to do the right things. Jack, Page 42 Another significant passage about the civilized part of Jack. Here he even claims that theyre not savages with a nationalistic tone. This is ironic because by the time they killed the pig and hung up the Lord of the Flies, they gave in to savagery, even though they were Englishmen. Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Chapter 4, Page 62 Here is the beginning signs that the group of boys are declining in civilization and turning into savagery. However, at this point civilization still has more power than savagery and Roger, while tormenting Henry, could not give completely into his savage instincts but instead throw rocks around Henry. The decline of morals starts from small steps into unforgivable acts, here Roger is showing the first signs of the boys giving in to savagery His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink. Chapter 4, Page 70 This quote shows another large step into savagery after Jack kills his first pig. Jack gloats in the kill and is occupied with the thought of the first kill. Before in the novel, Jack says that hunting is necessary to provide meat for the group. Now it is clear that Jack is obsessed with hunting because of his primitive instincts and has nothing to do with providing nourishment for the group. .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d , .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .postImageUrl , .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d , .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:hover , .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:visited , .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:active { border:0!important; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:active , .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u0d0c5097443625813ed845a94ac6f38d:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Child Called Nature EssayBut I tell you that smoke is more important than the pig, however often you kill one. Ralph, Page 81 Ralph starts saying this as Jack is fed up with not being the leader. Here Ralph says as a last argument that the fire is more important than hunting. The significance of this is the fact that a fire will signal a rescue ship. This eventually happens in the end. What I mean is Maybe its only us. Simon became inarticulate in his efforts to express mankinds essential illness. Simon, Chapter 5, page 89 Simon says these words in Chapter 5, where he talks about the beast. While the other boys were talking about the beast as a literal beast that hides in the woods, or in the water, as a physical being, Simon says that the beast is only the boys themselves. Simon does not fully understand this idea until in Chapter 8 where he faces the Lord of the Flies in a hallucination. This becomes clear that the beast is the evil within the boys and the savagery among them. The beast is a hunter we couldnt kill it. Jack, page 126 Jack is talking about the beast here. Jack obviously fears the beast and even set up the Lord of the Flies as an offering for the beast. Jack does not grasp the truth about the beast and falls to savagery especially in his act of setting up the Lord of the Flies Im not going to play any longer. Not with you. Jack, page 127 This is when Jack leaves the group. He does this because all he wants to do is hunt and does not want to put up with responsibilities such as maintaining the fire. This has significance as it leads to Simons and Piggys death and it also leads to the attempted murder of Ralph. The half-shut eyes were dim with the infinite cynicism of adult life. They assured Simon that everything was a bad business. Chapter 8, Page 137 This is the first description of the rotten Lord of the Flies when Simon saw it. This occurs right before Simons vision with the Lord of the Flies where it seemed to be able to talk to Simon. This has importance as the Lord of the Flies symbolized the beast, which in turn symbolized the innate evil within humans We cant keep one fire going. And they dont care. And whats more, I dont sometimes. Ralph, Chapter 8, Page 139 This quote is significant as it shows even decline in Ralph. Ralph and Piggy were the only ones who knew best, and that is to keep the fire burning in case a ship comes so they may be rescued. But now almost everyone does not want a fire and even Ralph sometimes doesnt care about the fire because no one else does. There isnt anyone to help you. Only me. And Im the Beast . . . Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! . . . You knew, didnt you? Im part of you? Close, close, close! Im the reason why its no go? Why things are the way they are? Lord of the Flies, talking to Simon, Chapter 8, Page 142 This quote is in chapter 8 where Simon has a vision in his encounter with the Lord of the Flies. Here the Lord of the Flies appears to be talking to Simon. These words said by the Lord of the Flies confirms Simons speculation that the beast is only the inner evil within the boys, not a physical being. This leads to Simon running back to the boys during the feast in an attempt to explain the truth to the other boys. The boys however, in their savagery, mistaken Simon as the beast itself and eventually kill him. .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c , .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .postImageUrl , .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c , .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:hover , .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:visited , .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:active { border:0!important; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:active , .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u4d399f18fa7fa6db2f74fd7c1ed9012c:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: A good man is hard to find paper EssayHe gazed at the green and black mask before him, trying to remember what Jack looked like.

The is significant as Jack has almost completely turned over to savagery and this shows that Ralph still sees the civilization in him but he could not remember what Jack was like before, not just physically, but his behavior and emotions. Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of mans heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy. Chapter 12, Page 202 This passage is from Chapter 12 near the end of the book where the naval officer almost out of nowhere saves Ralph from certain death. Ralph realizes that he is rescued and will return to civilization but that does not bring him joy, but instead sadness. Ralph lost his innocence and discovered the evil within every mans heart, and he also wept for Piggy, who died an unfortunate death at the hands of the savagery led by Jack.

Rising Sea Level Essays - Coastal Geography, Coastal Engineering

Rising Sea Level Rising Sea Level Rising sea levels have been disturbing geographers and geologists for some time now. Scientists are constantly trying to prevent the effects rising waters are causing, which mainly includes beach and island erosion. So far, their attempts with man-made development on beaches along the eastern coast of America have only made things worse. "Up and down the U.S. coast, public money is subsidizing private property on islands made of sand, the stuff on which, as the Bible says, only fools build" (Ackerman 7). In recent years there has been a trend towards living on the barrier islands of America's Atlantic Coast. High rise condominiums, numerous shops, and several businesses have been built to sustain large populations on these islands and continue to be built. As a result, this vital chain of islands that lies between the ocean and the mainland are at risk. While interfering with the natural configuration of these islands, human construction has advanced the rate of beach erosion, thus leaving the mainland with no barriers during times of high surf. This effect has also led to costly, unnatural ways to preserve the barrier islands. Saving these islands in their natural state by curbing human encroachment will both protect mainland populations from high surf and save a considerable amount of federal money. The barrier islands are a chain of islands, stretching from New York to southern Texas, that have served as a critical barrier from the Atlantic Ocean for well over the past 4,500 years (Ackerman 23). These islands however are not as stable as those who live on them would like it to be. Beaches, and in fact whole islands, are constantly eroded as they are subjected to varying winds, currents and changing sea levels. Along Florida's East Coast, roughly 368 miles, the average shoreline change is retreating 22cm per year. Under natural conditions, native vegetation and shifting sands constantly replace or withhold sand on the islands (16). Unfortunately for the inhabitants of the barrier islands, this is a geological behavior which can only continue if the islands remain in a natural state. In recent years humans on these shorelines and islands have been responding to the naturally changing conditions, through the use of man made structures such as seawalls, groins, and sand replenishment, in an effort to save beachfront property from erosion. Obstructing the natural shifts of the islands, says Orrin Pilkey of Duke University who has studied these islands for thirty years, will cause them to, "be lost forever" (16-17). Attempting to hold beaches in place with the use of seawalls, groins, and sand replenishment may seem like a good solution in theory, but in practice they probe ineffective. One of the most common methods of attempting to hold barrier island beaches in place is through the use of sea walls, which are costly and ineffective. Seawalls are typically cement walls constructed parallel to the seashore in an effort to block waves from coming over the beach and into property. However, seawalls tend to withhold sand behind the wall during times of high surf and the natural tendency of the beach to respond to waves is disturbed (Kaufman 207). The structures commonly fail from undermining or erosion by waves breaking over their tops. Under normal conditions sand would be spread out by outgoing currents, which in turn would lower the slope of the beach and cause the waves to break gradually. With seawalls in place, sand remains stationary while waves erode the beach as wave energy is deflected against sand not protected by the seawall (208). In addition to advancing the erosion rate of the sand and inhibiting the beaches' natural tendencies, seawalls have become quite costly to maintain. For example, in New York $120 million was paid by the federal government to sustain and replenish seawall installations as of 1996, and repairs continue to be made (Dixon 231). Clearly, this method is both costly and ineffective. Another commonly used method of stopping erosion is the placement of groins, which are also ineffective. Groins are pilings of rocks that extend into the ocean and perpendicular to the shore. Like seawalls, the primary purpose of a groin is to trap sand, but in longshore currents rather than sand deposits already on the beach. Contrary to their intended purpose, these structures trap sand on the side facing a longshore current and leave the opposite side without sand (Kaufman 207). Over time, the side not facing longshore currents erodes and the initial problem reoccurs. Once again, after the unsuccessful use of groins, money and resources must be spent to restore the beach.

Salaries of Professional Atheletes essays

Salaries of Professional Atheletes essays In the past there were and are many disputes over the high salaries of professional athletes. I think that these athletes should receive the high salaries that they deserve. One reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is that they are highly skilled. Professional athletes train and practice hard almost everyday and for most of the day. Most professional athletes also have played sports in college. Look at Michael Jordan, he played college basketball. Another reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is the high risk of injury. When athletes are playing in a game or even in practice, they run a high risk of getting hurt. If they get hurt, they would need some way of paying for their recovery. In addition, if the athlete were permanently injured they would need some way of supporting their family and themselves. Mike Modano, the center for the Dallas Stars, has temporally been injured and probably will not be able to play hockey for the rest of the season. Also a reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is that the athlete will not be playing the sport that they play for the rest of their life. Most athletes retire after the age of forty. And if that person does not have any skills, other than sports, then they need a way of support financially. Look at John Elway he retired this year. John Elway's wife has cancer and if John was not paid the high salary that he was paid he would not be able to pay for his wife's cancer treatment. The last reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is the fact that some athletes are role models for so many people. Some athletes contribute to charities that help children, the disabled, and other worthwhile charities. Look at Troy Aikman, he contributes to charities by setting up the Troy Aikman Foundation. Some professional athletes show a great deal...

Corporal vs. Corporeal

Corporal vs. Corporeal Corporal vs. Corporeal Corporal vs. Corporeal By Mark Nichol What’s the difference between corporal and corporeal, and what do these words have to do with other teams beginning with the syllable corp-? They are all of a body. As you may have guessed, most words beginning with the element corp- refer to a body, denoting either a human or animal’s mortal coil (as in the case of corpse) or an organization of people or things. The origin of this class of words is the Latin term corpus, meaning â€Å"body†; that term was borrowed into English and is synonymous with corpse, which comes from French, but also refers to the main body of a bodily organ or a thing or idea, or the whole of a person’s artistic output or a complete collection of knowledge. Corpus is the also first element of several open compounds, including â€Å"corpus callosum† (Latin for, literally, â€Å"callous body†), referring to a part of the brain, and â€Å"corpus delicti† (the Latin phrase literally means â€Å"the body of the crime†), the concept of the body of proof for commission of a crime. The adjectival corporal means â€Å"affecting the body,† as in the phrase â€Å"corporal punishment.† It’s also a noun referring to a linen cloth used in church services; the meaning is connected to the concept of the body of Christ. (The noun corporal, when used in reference to a low-ranking soldier, is unrelated. It stems from Latin caput, meaning â€Å"head†; a corporal originally led a small unit of troops.) Corporeal, on the other hand, denotes anything that is tangible as opposed to spiritual. Other words stemming from the Latin term follow: Corporation, and its adjectival form, corporate, and the verb incorporate, all refer to a business registered with a government Corposant, from the Portuguese expression for â€Å"holy body,† is another word for â€Å"Saint Elmo’s fire,† the name for a natural electrical discharge. A corps is a large military unit or branch, or another group of people with a function in common; the term is part of the phrase â€Å"corps de ballet,† borrowed directly (as the word corps itself) from French and referring to the dancers in a ballet company; corps is pronounced roughly the same as the French word. A corps d’elite is a military unit or another group whose members are selected for superior skills or other qualities. Corpsman (from membership in a medical corps) is a synonym for medic, a soldier trained to provide basic medical care; it also refers to a member of a government-sponsored service group, such as the National Conservation Corps. Corpulent means â€Å"obese,† and a corpuscle is a very small particle or a cell or group of cells in an organism. (The word core, from the French word coeur, meaning â€Å"heart,† is unrelated.)

Asset pricing models (CAPM and APT) Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Asset pricing models (CAPM and APT) - Essay Example The information of risk observed in similar types of the asset in the market will help the investor to get a true picture towards acquiring the asset. The observed risk factors will help in determining the real value of that asset (Kerzner & Saladis, 2010). There are many small investors who are the price taker. There is no tax on the asset. Investment should be of public related assets for example: shares and bonds. All the investors are adopting same strategy and provide combine information about the asset (Fabozzi et al., 2006). Investor can get information from the market to apply CAPM model, but it is also possible that the information is incomplete or not at large practiced. The investors in market applying CAPM pricing model are basically small investors. Small investors usually buy little bit stocks of asset and sell if the price of that asset increased (KÃ ¼rschner, 2008). The risk factor cannot be perfectly determined by the small investors because they acquire the assets on equilibrium price set by the market. Small investors can take risk but valuable risk factor can be determined by the large investors. Although tax on the asset is generally added to the cost of the asset but in determining the price model of CAPM, the tax factor will not be included. The information regarding the particular asset does not contain the information of tax imposed on it (Loskamp, 2007). APT is the model which can provide well diversified information about the risk factors as well as expected returns of that asset. Agents are appointed under this model to get information quite reliable regarding the risk and returns of an asset. Agent provides the expected returns of the asset depending on his experience. Risk factor calculated by the agent is more preferable because it is actually based on the whole market review (Focardi & Fabozzi, 2004). The agents charge price for providing information of the asset. Investor has to choose the agent which has the

Not necessary Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words - 1

Not necessary - Research Paper Example After identification of constituencies, objectives should be set and proper communication channels should be adopted for delivering the probable crisis information to the constituencies (Argenti, 2007). According to Fowler, et.al (2007), top level and middle level managers are much more prepared for crisis as compared to employees. Learning is also a part of the crisis preparation. If the organizations are well prepared before occurrence of a crisis, the employees and management learn from their taken actions and also learn to change according to the needs of a new crisis. The management of an organization plays an active role in preparing for a crisis. In learning from crisis events, there are several barriers for organizations. According to Smith and Elliott (2007), crisis should be used as a means for learning, organizations should learn from crisis, about crisis and for crisis. Learning is not an easy process as there are hindrances in learning such as environmental changes, value systems, refusal of expert opinions and ineffective communication (Smith and Elliott, 2007). Corporate communication is an attractive course and I think that I will be able to obtain much more until the end of this course. In a business setting, communication plays a crucial role and its importance cannot be negated in any circumstances. As a student of corporate communication, I have researched about Primo Small goods Company, which is a meat company in Australia. My learning experience with the company was a good one as I was able to assess corporate environment practically. These kinds of assignments are really helpful for students and provide them a chance to get better equipped with skills that will be required in their future lives and careers. Learning is essential for all the students and I feel that the corporate communication course is providing its students with multiple opportunities to learn. Without effective communication, our day-to-day

How to Write an Essay :: Writing an Essay

Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style. -- Kurt Vonnegut Learning how to write an essay can be a maddening, exasperating process, but it doesn't have to be. If you know the steps and understand what to do, writing can be easy and even fun. Below are brief summaries of each of the ten steps to writing an essay. 1. Research: Begin the essay writing process by researching your topic, making yourself an expert. Utilize the internet, the academic databases, and the library. Take notes and immerse yourself in the words of great thinkers. 2. Analysis: Now that you have a good knowledge base, start analyzing the arguments of the essays you're reading. Clearly define the claims, write out the reasons, the evidence. Look for weaknesses of logic, and also strengths. Learning how to write an essay begins by learning how to analyze essays written by others. 3. Brainstorming: Your essay will require insight of your own, genuine essay-writing brilliance. Ask yourself a dozen questions and answer them. Meditate with a pen in your hand. Take walks and think and think until you come up with original insights to write about. 4. Thesis: Pick your best idea and pin it down in a clear assertion that you can write your entire essay around. Your thesis is your main point, summed up in a concise sentence that lets the reader know where you're going, and why. It's practically impossible to write a good essay without a clear thesis. 5. Outline: Sketch out your essay before straightway writing it out. Use one-line sentences to describe paragraphs, and bullet points to describe what each paragraph will contain. Play with the essay's order. Map out the structure of your argument, and make sure each paragraph is unified. 6. Introduction: Now sit down and write the essay. The introduction should grab the reader's attention, set up the issue, and lead in to your thesis. Your intro is merely a buildup of the issue, a stage of bringing your reader into the essay's argument. (Note: The title and first paragraph are probably the most important elements in your essay. This is an essay-writing point that doesn't always sink in within the context of the classroom. In the first paragraph you either hook the reader's interest or lose it.

The Dichotomy of a Feminine Interior and a Masculine Exterior

1.1 IntroductionSpace/architecture is wittingly or unwittingly gendered. Spaces are either considered feminine or masculine ( feminine or masculine being two of the larger genders known ) . Spaces frequently get the features of their users. Spaces occupied by adult females are associated with muliebrity and infinites occupied by work forces are associated with maleness. For illustration, in traditional havelis, we had the zenana country and the mardana country. The zenana country was that portion of the haveli where the adult females of the house spent most of their twenty-four hours. Mardana country was that portion of the haveli which belonged merely to the work forces. So of course, the zenana country began to be associated with muliebrity and mardana country began to be associated with maleness. Spaces are gendered non merely based on the user or the usage of the infinite, but besides based on the handiness of the infinite. We might detect that private infinites are considered fe minine and public infinites are considered masculine. Spaces are gendered based on their high quality every bit good. Often superior infinites are considered masculine and inferior infinites are considered feminine. In many families, the adult females are restricted to the insides of the house whereas the work forces of the household travel out to gain a life for the household. Therefore, we can presume the inside of the house to hold feminine characters and outside of the house to hold masculine characters. This duality between the feminine inside and masculine outside has been compared to nature and civilization, subjective and nonsubjective etc severally. Feminine and masculine are two distinguishable entities. It will be really interesting to analyze the passage from one gendered infinite to another, or analyze the function of different infinites and thresholds in segregating two otherwise gendered infinites. Transitional infinites are besides called the in between infinites or liminal infinites. Bobby Alexander ( 1991 ) in his book titledVictor Turner Revisited: Ritual as Social Changewrites â€Å"The root word threshold is derived from the Latin word for ‘threshold, ’ and literally means ‘being on a threshold† ( Alexander, pg 31 ) . In all contexts, liminal refers to an intermediate province or status, an mediate status in which the liminal entity has features of what it is between, but at the same clip is separate and distinguishable from them. It is a infinite which is basically equivocal and is, by definition, the interaction with which is impermanent. Transitional/liminal infinites are the porch, anteroom, corridors, courtyards, gallery, stairway etc. These infinites frequently do non hold a distinguishable map like kiping, cookery, analyzing etc, but are frequently experienced merely while traveling from one infinite to another. The features that define li minal infinite include layering, disintegration, blurring, and ambiguity. They may be the threshold or the point of separation between two infinites but the separation or the passage may be so seamless that it is barely perceived. This paper talks about the feminine inside and masculine exterior duality and analyses the function of the transitional infinites in organizing or overthrowing the duality.1.2 Need IdentificationSome infinites are associated with muliebrity and some are associated with maleness. Spaces associated with muliebrity are frequently discriminated against. In traditional houses, infinites associated with muliebrity are non merely discriminated against but are besides segregated from infinites associated with maleness. There is a man’s sphere and a woman’s sphere. There are a figure of factors which lead to this segregation of infinite based on gender, societal favoritism of adult females being a major factor. Today, adult females enjoy a comparatively better societal position. This alteration is reflected in the segregation of infinite based on gender, as there are really few infinites which fall entirely in man’s sphere or woman’s sphere. One could state that th ere is no clear man’s sphere or woman’s sphere. The line between the two has become blurred. This thesis aims towards analyzing the duality between infinites associated with maleness and those associated with muliebrity and analyzing the function of liminal /transition infinites and thresholds in organizing or overthrowing the duality.1.3 AimThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the supposed duality between the masculine outside and the feminine inside of a place and understand the passage between the two.1.4 Research inquiryTaking the duality of a feminine inside and the masculine outside, how do we get down critically analyzing the function of liminal infinites in either forming or overthrowing the said duality?1.5 AimsFirst nonsubjective is to analyze the duality of interior and exterior as nature and civilization, feminine and masculine, private and public.Second aim is to happen out the factors that lead to this passage from interior to exterior.Finally analyze the function that transitional infinites play in organizing or/and overthrowing the duality.1.6 ScopeThe intent of this paper is to understand liminal infinites. Liminal infinite in itself is a huge subject. Therefore, I have restricted myself to analyzing merely the liminal infinites at place. My research is traveling to utilize lenses provided by gender surveies. The qualitative and the quantitative facet of passage infinites are studied wherever it is traveling to act upon my research from the position of gender. Anything beyond this is out of range of this research.1.7 RestrictionsIt is a survey of liminal infinites throwing visible radiation on the gendered side of the survey. All the work that has been done on Gender and Space, are basically point of views of popular designers and minds. It is therefore a digest of their perceptual experiences and my critical analysis of the same. Merely secondary mentions viz the books are available which are besides non facts but point of vi ews of others, which may be unequal. Discrimination based on gender can be experienced in traditional places. Today, with the alteration in the mentality of the people, the place of adult females has improved. Cases of favoritism based on gender have reduced but they still exist. Spaces associated with muliebrity may non be discriminated against but are still separate from infinites associated with maleness. Because of the restriction of clip this facet could non be studied in item. There were other restrictions of geographics and resources.1.8 Research MethodologyFirst portion of the thesis trades with understanding the duality between interior and exterior by comparing the inside and outside with nature and civilization, feminine and masculine, private and public. The function of place in understanding the duality will besides be studied in this portion. This portion is traveling to be carried out by reexamining plants of other designer on the topic. Second portion trades with analyzing the passage from one gendered infinite to another. It besides deals with analyzing liminal infinites and threshold in the context of the duality. This portion will dwell of reappraisal of plants of other designers on this topic. It will besides consist of primary and secondary instance surveies of traditional houses/havelis and modern-day houses. Here infinites of each house would be analysed under assorted caputs such as usage, resident, handiness, location etc. The function of different liminal infinites and thresholds in the house in leaving feminine or masculine character to a infinite will besides be studied.1.9 Designation of Case StudySecondary Case Study – Rangrez House in Patan, Gujarat Primary Case survey – Haveli Mubaraq in Malerkotla, Sangroor territory, Punjab Both the houses were inhabited by Muslim household. The comparing of the two instance surveies would hence non hold any major difference based on different cultural patterns. Both the instance surveies have been selected in similar climatic zones. Similar liminal infinites and thresholds are therefore likely to be found in both the instance surveies. These traditional houses are so traveling to be compared to a modern house. A modern house in Punjab has been selected in this respect. As a consequence, the points of difference ( if any ) will non be influenced by climatic and geographical characteristics. So, the difference in the function of passage /liminal infinites in segregating feminine infinites from masculine infinites in both the traditional and the modern houses might be due to alter in the mentality of people.

Commercial transactions essay

Therefore, she has no duty of care to Frank and Beeline, while Douglas Pity Ltd, as a professional company has a duty of care to them. Sub Issue 1. 3 and 1. 4: although Black was employed by Brown & Co, it can be reasonably assumed that he wasn't given actual authority to give advice to someone out of his accounting firm, nor was there any implied authority for Black to let him give advice on his employer's behalf. By the way, it was reasonable to expect that Frank and Beeline would act on Black, a professional accountant's advice to sign the purchase contract. Therefore Black has a duty of care o Frank and Beeline, but Brown & Co does not.Issue 2 & Sub Issue 2. 1 and 2. 2: Frank and Beeline cannot sue Marie, but they can make an action against Douglas Pity Ltd. If they can prove that Marie has provided negligent misstatement about the motel business, such as phone call records, they can ask Douglas Pity Ltd to pay part of their losses. They also need to prove that Douglas Pity Ltd h as breached their duty of care to them. Sub Issue 2. 3 and 2. 4: When everything was ready Frank said that they could not sign the contract unless Black gave them advice to sign it. Black, a professional accountant indicated them to do so.Therefore, Brown & Co is not liable for Frank and Bellini's damage, but Black is, because Black has breached his duty of care to Frank and Beeline. CONCLUSION Under the tort of negligence, both Douglas Pity Ltd and Black are liable for Frank and Bellini's losses. Frank and Beeline can sue them and if they can prove that Douglas and Black had given negligent misstatement about profitability of the motel business. For instance, Frank and Beeline need to provide evidence that Black had given unachievable occupancy rate of the motel. However, Frank and Beeline cannot themselves and they were not entirely relying upon Blacks advice.For example, Frank and Beeline didn't enquire Black whether the occupancy rates given by him was practical or not. Overall, the chance of successfully getting remedies from Black is the largest, while there is also a reasonable chance to win the case against Douglas Pity Ltd. Frank and Beeline can expect to recover $ 15000 from Douglas Pity Ltd, $ 25000 from Black, but the remaining part of their loss, approximately $ 35000 are their own liabilities. By the way, it would be very difficult for Frank and Beeline to receive any remedy from Marie and Brown & Co even if they chose to sue them.

Fight Club and Tyler Durden Essay example

Fight Club and Tyler Durden Essay example Fight Club and Tyler Durden Essay example Saravanabavan 1 Sentha Saravanabavan Ms. Marsh ENG4U1 January 8 2012 With power comes great responsibility as society would say it; however, to gain power one must take a stand against those who step on the lower society. The novel, fight club by Chuck Palahniuk, displays how power is achieved and brought up by total dominance of the lower class. After analyzing how the power and dominance is achieved, it is evident that in order to achieve it in the social structure, there must be a solid leader, devoted followers and circumstances that lead and cause to achieve the will of dominance. In order to achieve the will of dominance, a committed and powerful leader is crucial. In order to be a powerful leader; they need to have good qualities of leadership. In the novel of powerful dictatorship, Fight Club, Tyler Durden, being a good and strong leader, can achieve personal power and dominance. Many see the leaders right before their eyes as they triumph over a victory they have achieved also others may have impersonated leaders mentally and projecting it themselves. As close as a friend the narrator is with Tyler Durden, even when â€Å"[his] words carry right out [his] mouth.† (Palahniuk 98) Not only do they impersonate the leader but also â€Å"admire[s] what [he’s] doing [as he] makes [himself] the homework assignment.† (Palahniuk 187) Tyler Durden displays how a good leader functions in an orderly manner and with great qualities and skills he carries dictatorship to a tremendous expectation. Though, qualities of being a good leader also carry the ability to make good decisions, and the ability to prioritize his goals. Tyler Durden, a solid leader, believes sacrifice delivers importance in a Saravanabavan 2 nonprofit organization. He believes â€Å"without sacrifice, [they] would have nothing.† (Palahnuik 78) Since it is a key quality to achieve power over higher part of society, it’s also an essential when developing dominance with sacrifice as Tyler Durden â€Å"[makes it] secure by the [choice of] sacrifice of a natural white man.† (Barker 1) A great leader can bring an army to a higher social structure where also with dictatorship, Tyler Durden can bring order and social structure when personal power is achieved and that’s where a solid leader steps up. As Tyler is a strong leader and he carries out his rule through Fight Club, the effectiveness of the leader highly depends on his column of support, the followers. Finding devoted fearless brigades, there has to be a cause to stand behind Tyler Durden. That cause has been discovered when Tyler explains to the commissioner â€Å"the people [that they] step on [they are] everyone [they] depend on [,] [they] are middle children of history.† (Palahnuik 166) As the lower class society transforms justice took its course and as a leader steps up the followers also rise up with Tyler Durden. Yet as being devoted as they are, the amount of loyalty and respect for Tyler they project devoutness throughout their journey beside their leader. Devotion is also another form to achieve power which is delivered and perceived through Fight Club. The Supporters display a sample of devotion as they â€Å"admire [at] what’s [he’s] doing† also communicating their loyalty when they say â€Å"[he’s] a brave man to make himself the homework assignment.† (Palahnuik 187) As Tyler Durden stands strong, the followers stand at the same level as their leader. Devotion and admiration from the supporters is a benefit for dominance in the social structure as power increases. They are influenced to show devotion by not only the way they are perceived but also the societal roles in which they are cast (the lower class) â€Å"as Saravanabavan 3 they ever were by the corporate civiliz ation from which [Tyler] is to rescue them.† (Crowdus 1) With devoted and fearless army, power is easily gained and the goal for total dominance is a step away from a new

Don`t Know How To Cite An Infographic Here We Go!

Don`t Know How To Cite An Infographic Here We Go! Proper Infographic Citing It is not a secret that visual information has a bigger influence on the audience and it is easier to remember. In addition, it makes the content of your text more colorful and vivid, and grabs attention even of the most demanding audience. That is why infographic occupies solid positions among various types of in-text materials. For the past years, illustrations with statistics and numbers have become an important part of texts. To grab the interest of the audience and to stimulate information mastering, writers and authors tend to transform words and numbers into colorful images. This approach was a real bomb in the world of content. It started occupying more and more web traffic, improving SEO and giving marketers a chance to deliver information in a more usable and comprehensive way. With time its popularity has decreased, and only a few years ago infographics became an important marketing instrument. Nowadays there are hundreds of various templates and designs, which can deliver quality and digestible content to different groups of users. As you see, an infographic is an essential part of any content, and it is necessary to understand what sort of information it is, how to create a quality infographic and how to cite it properly. To help you deal with such a complex task, we have gathered the most important information on a topic and spiced it up with the most powerful tips. Infographics: Definition and Importance Basically, an infographic is a combination of information and graphics. It was first mentioned in 2009 by McCandless, as he included data visualization to his book. However, in some cases, combining these two elements become a real headache. The first and the most important question you need to ask yourself is whether the data benefits from such visualization? Does infographic make your information easier to master? It shouldn’t be a pointless picture that is only occupying space. Moreover, Google is not able to analyze images and to use that text in promoting your works. To put it simply, infographic won’t contribute to the search ranking, although you may spend days on creating a stylish and useful image. If you still want to include infographic to your text in the form of a jpg file, you need to provide suitable information in the image. However, keep in mind that search engines will most likely not be able to read the data you include. Things to Know When Creating an Infographic Even if you are crazy with the idea of working on the infographic, you need to understand that the first thing to keep in mind is visibility on social media. To achieve it, you will need to know certain rules and instruments, which will allow your infographic to become a front content. With a proper approach, your infographic has great chances of gaining popularity, earning links, enhancing recognition and improving ranking in search engines. That is why before simply using a common template you need to explore the market, understand your audience and see what infographic tools exist. Get Familiar With the Audience Your infographic should render information that will interlink with the way your audience things. The best way to lead your text or product to success is to stir feelings of the audience. Such an approach is especially important if your niche is dry and filled with information. You need to explore what the audience thinks and feels, so that in future you will come up with something unique and engaging. To build a proper marketing image of yourself you need to know who the potential buyers are. For example, if your company creates software for security and encrypting, your buyers will probably be enterprises and brands that want to protect their data. That is why including information about safety, possible online crimes and the latest statistics will be a good idea. Tell the audience how your product, content or idea benefits them by combining both: statistics and information about your own company. Stick to an Engaging Topic Now, when you know who your audience is and what its main interests are, it is much easier to come up with an interesting topic. You can use Google Search or BuzzSumo to find topics that will make your infographics valuable. In addition, you can read articles on general topics and simply surf the internet, looking for non-standard ideas. Then you can gather them, creating your own templates for infographic. However, you should always choose an idea that is relevant to your issue and has enough space to include statistics or any other valuable information. Be Selective While you are still on a stage of building a concept, it is necessary to conduct thorough research on the topic before starting your work on an infographic. Make sure you use only authentic data that supports your idea. Such information must be relevant, modern and unique. Ideally, it shouldn’t be easily accessible. That is why you need to dig deeper, reading official reports, presentations, and multiple PDF files. Organize Your Data Readability is what predetermines the success of your infographic, so on the next stage, you need to organize and carefully filter all the information you have found. There is no need to include to your infographic all of the data you have found because it will make your images heavy and difficult to read. Remember that the majority of readers simply scroll the content without spending too much time on reading the whole template. Now, when you have chosen the things you want to add to your infographic, it is the right time to learn what the elements of a winning infographic are. Features of a Strong Infographic There are several features that may greatly influence the result: whether your infographic will reach its goals or not. Remember, an infographic is very time-consuming and requires lots of your efforts and energy. Below we have gathered the most important traits that a winning infographic should possess. Density of Data When you have filtered gathered information and kept only relevant data, it is the right time to think about how to present that data in an attractive way. Don’t forget to highlight the juiciest details, so that the readers will notice important elements at once. The density of data is crucial if you want your infographic to be successful. That is why choosing reliable, and up-to-date sources should take the first place when you work on your infographic. If your readers have doubts on the quality of provided information, you can always provide links and proofs from original sources. Keep It Simple Many people just want to stuff as much information as possible, thinking that it will make their infographic more attractive. However, if you simply add data to the image, it will become heavy to read, and you risk losing your audience. Your goal is to organize it and to make it appealing to the reader. Be Creative If you want to stand out from other content creators, it is important to generate something valuable and unique. If you are not sure whether you are skilled enough, you can hire a designer, who will help to work on the project. This will help to come up with a creative and personalized infographic, and you will additionally get a piece of advice on professional marketing. Only Relevant Information For most of the content creators, it is quite difficult to keep the balance of relevant and clear content. It is great that you have conducted profound research and collected a huge variety of information on the topic. However, you don’t need to include everything to your infographic. Unfortunately, this is one of the most common mistakes marketers make. While remaining precise, you need to include only the most important and relevant data. On the other hand, including little information won’t seem appealing. So you should find the right balance and stick to it! Do not Promote Yourself Many content creators make self-promotional graphics. However, it may have a negative impact on the audience and will lead your whole content to failure. Statistics show that such an approach is not effective at all and is not able to attract the attention of the audience. That is why it is much better to include information that talks about your company or website, and not about you as its creator. Always stick to the rule: your infographics must be focused on the industry, not on yourself. Market Your Brand Based on the previous point, you need to stick to the formal format of the infographic, including your company’s logo and name to the image. Do not include your personal details or name, because such information won’t have any value. If you are willing to sell your products or services, brand marketing is the key. You should also pay attention to the font, color scheme and style of the infographic to make it relevant to the brand and its format. Infographic Should Be Goal-Oriented This is probably the most important feature of your future infographic. Remember: not depending on the style or font, the content you provide must be goal-oriented. In addition, it should focus on one topic, not distracting attention on other issues. Moreover, your goal must be to explain what you offer in a clear and understandable manner. To achieve this, you should create an outline or a plan in order to organize the content properly. For example, you can focus on explaining how your brand is going to solve a certain problem. You can target the relevant audience by including data and statistics that show the importance of the discussed problem. In such a way your infographic will provide readers with a clear understanding of the goals you are planning to achieve and how you can be useful in solving a particular issue. Infographic Sourcing The sources you use for getting information are more than important. The more reliable they are, the more credible the infographics become. It helps to evaluate the quality of your content, so using non-reliable sources will make your infographics looks poor and uninteresting. Luckily, it is no longer difficult to find proper sources. Due to a variety of online sources, you can get access to official documents, websites of international organizations and even books of reputable scientists and researchers. In addition, there are hundreds of official research institutes, which regularly post information on their latest studies. You just need to know the right places to look for credible and trustworthy information for your infographic. A Right Source Always Tells a Story Infographic is a way to tell readers a certain story, so if this story is not present in the chosen sources, you won’t be able to create engaging infographics. Below the infographic, you can duplicate information in the form of a story so that it will explain the data you have included in the picture. Always Use Trustworthy Sources As you know, not all of the information online can be trusted. That is why you need to do your best to fill infographics only will reliable data. Always look for information on official websites - for example, various governmental agencies and bureaus. Even if you use a source from a regular website or forum, but it contains surveys and statistics from academic sources with proper citing, you can use it. If you don’t have time or energy to process only official data, here are a few questions that will help you to distinguish a reliable source: Does this website have any relation to a reliable organization? Who is the author of the article? Does the article contain up-to-date statistics? Does it include a bibliography? What’s the goal of the web site? Cite Your Sources Citing sources is not a common thing for infographics, so very often readers question themselves whether the information they see is reliable. If you want your infographic to be trustworthy, don’t be lazy and provide the audience with links to the websites you have taken information from. It is one of the simplest but yet effective ways to support the information you provide. Limited Number of Sources Used Even if you have used tens of various sources in the process of collecting data, it is better to stick to a few of them. This will help you to remain focused on more comprehensive and clear content. More than three sources may puzzle the reader, and they will find it difficult to track the reliability of the information. Conclusion It is obvious that infographic is a great way of grabbing and holding the attention of the reader. However, the provided information must be both interesting and stimulating. Hopefully, the tips above will help you to manage your infographic and to create powerful content.

Transnational Actors influences on World Politics Essay

Transnational Actors influences on World Politics - Essay Example This article approves that international bodies and nation-states must usually obtain the feedback of monitoring missions and vital facts about world politics from transnational agencies and INGOs, because states are effective only within their borders due to the doctrine of non-meddling in internal affairs of other states. This is especially true without binding resolutions of international bodies such as the United Nations Security Council and the European among others. Transnational actors may be ineffective in setting the agenda for norm creation around the world or in particular economic regions due to the varying political will among the affected member states. As a consequence, the basic things needed to create effective international agreements with and across state actors normally become long-drawn and, thus, the role of transnational actors seems to be less effective. This paper makes a conclusion that owing to the inexorable role of nation-states in the world politics, it behooves transnational actors to work with states and even persuade them to adopt internationally accepted norms. The working relationship is, however, not smooth due to the varying priorities of each of the two organizations. For example, nation-states would rather observe national security over human rights. Regardless, transnational actors owe their success in fighting global problems to massive lobbying of the local societies of great powers such as the United States, to in turn buy the agenda and present it to the international community for passage and enactment.

Project Management - Research Paper Example The project needs progressive elaboration that reveals and focuses details of the project through time (Meredith & Mantel, 2012). This makes projects distinguished from programs and operations. A program is a group of interrelated projects coordinated to obtain benefits and control that cannot be achieved when managing the projects individually. Operations are continued and repetitive activities that are carried to achieve mission of the organization without a definable end or unique output. Project management is a planned and organized one-time activity that achieves the specified goals. Developing project plan that covers defining project objectives and goals, specifying tasks, stating how goals will be achieved, the resources needed, budget, timelines for implementing and completing the project will ensure success of a project as planned. The following are the basic five phases in the project life cycle (Project, 2013). This is the opening or starting point of the project. The project is initiated by defining the reasons, the objectives and scope of it. The project team at this level proposes the solutions to be implemented, and the early budget. This gives a go for a project. The draft of the scope and objectives will help the team to work on the course without deviating. The draft schedule will also provide the timeline through wish the project is expected to be completed. This also helps the project team to get organized. Terms of references are also incorporated so that the team can know how and to whom referencing is made. This phase leads to another step. After the initiation phase and creating of drafts, the project management plan is designed. The plan will guide the team during project development and after. This step defines the required skills that will be in development team. It also describes the risk pal, non-labor resources, detailed action items and milestones. The is a need to

Blog post - Essay Example In the past, women were not required to take part in any form of economic activity that could empower them than their men counterpart. In this case, they were given duties that would pay less than men. Advertisement have become one of the marketing tools of firm products. A large portion of the family unit merchandise has ruled the commercial business. For this reason, every firm considers doing an advert that would attract a lot of consumers and still remain relevant to the society. In order to achieve this mission, industrialists have used young women in their adverts. Women are portrayed in different forms as media in such a way that they will attract men’s emotions. They will thus be dressed in clothes that seem attractive to men. Most of these attires only hides the body parts that are very critical when exposed. The advert leaves men appreciating the lady in the advert and will dependably be sitting tight for the advert. Ashley Graham’s advert of the swimming cloth is one of the examples. She is portrayed wearing a swimming ‘bra and an under pant’ just on the side of a swimming pool. A man is wearing a full suit and a tie stand amazed behind her admiring her body (Suhr). The difference between the two can help to define the role of women in the social setup where the advert was done. Ladies role in this general public is to amuse men. The nakedness of a lady excites mens emotions. They are for this reason advised to dress in an indecent way so that they can look attractive by men. Men then again typically remunerate ladies who look alluring. For this reason, the society accepts such behaviors. As stated earlier, the theory of the social role enhances the activities that different members of the society need to practice. The social differentiation outlined by Ralph Dahrendorf explains that this is a must-expectations. Thus, the advert in the media concentrates on the desire of the buyers.

Why Did Euro Disney Fail But Disneyland Successed History Essay

Why Did Euro Disney Fail But Disneyland Successed History Essay Many of Businesses in America make detailed assumptions about the potential of expand their business to other countries and structural models of organizing which can be easily failed to consider the cultural differences. One of the examples of the outcome to intercultural business is Disney Corporations European venture. Due to lack of cultural information of France as well as Europe, further on their inability to forecast problems, Disney acquired a huge debt. False assumptions led to a great loss of time, money and even reputation for corporation itself. Instead of analyzing and learning from its potential visitors, Disney chose to make assumptions about the preference of Europeans, which turned out that most of those assumptions were wrong. 2 CASE DESCRIPTIONS Until 1992, the Walt Disney Company had experienced nothing but success in the theme park business. Its first park, Disneyland, opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955. Its theme song, Its a Small World After All, promoted an idealized vision of America spiced with reassuring glimpses of exotic cultures all calculated to promote heartwarming feelings about living together as one happy family. There were dark tunnels and bumpy rides to scare the children a little but none of the terrors of the real world . . . The Disney characters that everyone knew from the cartoons and comic books were on hand to shepherd the guests and to direct them to the Mickey Mouse watches and Little Mermaid records. The Anaheim park was an instant success. In the 1970s, the triumph was repeated in Florida, and in 1983, Disney proved the Japanese also have an affinity for Mickey Mouse with the successful opening of Tokyo Disneyland. Having wooed the Japanese, Disney executives in 1986 turned their attention to France and, more specifically, to Paris, the self-proclaimed capital of European high culture and style. Why did they pick France? many asked. When word first got out that Disney wanted to build another international theme park, officials from more than 200 locations all over the world descended on Disney with pleas and cash inducements to work the Disney magic in their hometowns. But Paris was chosen because of demographics and subsidies. About 17 million Europeans live less than a two-hour drive from Paris. Another 310 million can fly there in the same time or less. Also, the French government was so eager to attract Disney that it offered the company more than $1 billion in various incentives, all in the expectation that the project would create 30,000 French jobs. From the beginning, cultural gaffes by Disney set the tone for the project. By late 1986, Disney was deep in negotiations with the French government. To the exasperation of the Disney team, headed by Joe Shapiro, the talks were taking far longer than expected. Jean-Rene Bernard, the chief French negotiator, said he was astonished when Mr. Shapiro, his patience depleted, ran to the door of the room and, in a very un-Gallic gesture, began kicking it repeatedly, shouting, Get me something to break! There was also snipping from Parisian intellectuals who attacked the transplantation of Disneys dream world as an assault on French culture; a cultural Chernobyl, one prominent intellectual called it. The minister of culture announced he would boycott the opening, proclaiming it to be an unwelcome symbol of American clichà ©s and a consumer society. Unperturbed, Disney pushed ahead with the planned summer 1992 opening of the $5 billion park. Shortly after Euro-Disneyland opened, French farmers drove their tractors to the entrance and blocked it. This globally televised act of protest was aimed not at Disney but at the US government, which had been demanding that French agricultural subsidies be cut. Sti ll, it focused world attention upon the loveless marriage of Disney and Paris. Then there were the operational errors. Disneys policy of serving no alcohol in the park, since reversed caused astonishment in a country where a glass of wine for lunch is a given. Disney thought that Monday would be a light day for visitors and Friday a heavy one and allocated staff accordingly, but the reality was the reverse. Another unpleasant surprise was the hotel breakfast debacle. We were told that Europeans dont take breakfast, so we downsized the restaurants, recalled one Disney executive. And guess what? Everybody showed up for breakfast. We were trying to serve 2,500 breakfasts in a 350-seat restaurant at some of the hotels. The lines were horrendous. Moreover, they didnt want the typical French breakfast of croissants and coffee, which was our assumption. They wanted bacon and eggs. Lunch turned out to be another problem. Everybody wanted lunch at 12:30. The crowds were huge. Our smiling cast members had to calm down surly patrons and engage in some behavior modification to teach them that they could eat lunch at 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM. There were major staffing problems too. Disney tried to use the same teamwork model with its staff that had worked so well in America and Japan, but it ran into trouble in France. In the first nine weeks of Euro-Disneylands operation, roughly 1,000 employees, 10 percent of the total, left. One former employee was a 22-yearold medical student from a nearby town who signed up for a weekend job. After two days of brainwashing, as he called Disneys training, he left following a dispute with his supervisor over the timing of his lunch hour. Another former employee noted, I dont think that they realize what Europeans are like . . . that we ask questions and dont think all the same way. One of the biggest problems, however, was that Europeans didnt stay at the park as long as Disney expected. While Disney succeeded in getting close to 9 million visitors a year through the park gates, in line with its plans, most stayed only a day or two. Few stayed the four to five days that Disney had hoped for. It seems that most Europeans regard theme parks as places for day excursions. A theme park is just not seen as a destination for an extended vacation. This was a big shock for Disney. The company had invested billions in building luxury hotels next to the park-hotels that the day-trippers didnt need and that stood half empty most of the time. To make matters worse, the French didnt show up in the expected numbers. In 1994, only 40 percent of the parks visitors were French. One puzzled executive noted that many visitors were Americans living in Europe or, stranger still, Japanese on a European vacation! As a result, by the end of 1994 Euro-Disneyland had cumulative losses of $2 billion. At this point, Euro-Disney changed its strategy. First, the company changed the name to Disneyland Paris in an attempt to strengthen the parks identity. Second, food and fashion offerings changed. To quote one manager, We opened with restaurants providing French-style food service, but we found that customers wanted self service like in the US parks. Similarly, products in the boutiques were initially toned down for the French market, but since then the range has changed to give it a more definite Disney image. Third, the prices for day tickets and hotel rooms were cut by one-third. The result was an attendance of 11.7 million in 1996, up from a low of 8.8 million in 1994. 3 ANALYSIS AND SOLUTIONS 3.1 Problems and underlying cultural differences The Case of Euro Disneyland can represent a lack of cultural focus and awareness of concept which was a globalization of the Disney Corporation. Difficulties that Disney Corporation met are typical for a multinational corporation which has not implemented cross cultural management and strategies. In fact, Disney Corporation failed to adapt to the French environment and to foresee the influences of foreign and domestic factors. Organization and management relied mostly on American cultures, experiences, and understanding. By not identifying certain cultural differences, Euro Disneyland created an environment that was not acceptable by the European culture itself. Cultural differences between the US and France has been ignored by Disney. One of the themes of Euro-Disneyland was American. Like other Disneyland in other places, Disney followed one of its two major traditions of not serving wine, despite the attitude among the French that alcohol was a fundamental right. And also restaurants were all American foods. The only exception is Fantasyland which re-created European fables. The recipes in American restaurants were also indistinctly adapted for European tastes. As a consequence, different regional American food was introduced to Americanize the Disneyland in Europe. Intention of Euro Disneyland was to continue Disneys traditional design in that it shared the many features and attractions of other Disneyland. Wide spread market research was conducted and also the cultural adaptation was expressed in such things as designs for park, standards for employees, and habits for eating. In the research, Disneyland was among the top three tourist spots for Europeans when they want to travel U.S., Euro Disney emphasized on making the Disneyland extremely American to visitors. The hotels, rides, and themes of the Disneyland were mostly named in a way of an American flavor, appealing to the European appetite for an American experience. However, the Euro Disneyland received many complaints from the visitors that Euro Disneyland is too Americanized. Some of the associations and the media in France have expressed cruel criticisms condemning the risk of cultural imperialism by Euro Disney. Appearance of Americanized Disneyland in Europe would encourage damaging American brand of consumerism. For some others, Euro Disney became the symbol of America and even of anti-American parties. Disney was tried to hire employees of different nationalities proportional to expected visitor as 45% of French, 30% of other Europeans, 15% of outside of Europe, but most of the visitors were from France. Disneylands employees were trained by managers and supervisors to ensure high quality of services and reliable managerial practices. While European managers were trained at other theme parks, foreign managers were also sent to Euro Disney to work. Although Euro Disney mainly hired Europeans to work in the park, most of the top managerial places were held by the hands of American experts. Standards of judgment for the jobs in Disneyland were criticized by applicants, and the press. The argument revolved around Disneys grooming requirements. Euro Disney insisted on a strict dress code which was much stricter than other jobs such as a ban on facial hair and colored stockings, standards for neat hair and fingernails, and even a policy of appropriate undergarments. So applicants felt that requirements were unnecessary for a job like cast member of theme park. One of the challenges that Disney faced was convincing the French cast members to break their cultural hatred of smiling and of impoliteness to visitors. While Euro Disney successfully trained cast members, but more than 1,000 employees left their jobs within the first nine weeks of opening of Euro Disneyland. Main reason why they left was long working hours at the park. And managers couldnt understand the European habits and ethics of work, and the working style was not the Europeans were used to in the past.    3.2 Solutions and recommendations Euro Disney needs to take controls of the management resolution and analyzation of their problems and concerns based on their own practice in other places. Thus, there is also the essential need of understanding and appropriate plans for the gap of cultural differences such as acknowledging the characteristics and attitudes of the national Europeans in terms of the business knowing what can work on mutually both sides and accomplishing good marketing strategies which can work for Euro Disneyland. Euro Disney should incorporate with some customary European aspects in order to accommodate the preferences of European visitors and French. Euro Disney already brought out the foods from the world. Many restaurants fortunately were custom-made to the European of less spicy food. Only one of the parks which called Fantasy land carried European dishes out, which have a variety of origins such as Germany, Spain and so forth. It seems the visitors are waiting long lines for rides or food since there was no regulations and no tolerance of such practices in France or even in Europe. So this matter also caused weak attendance. The financial and business plan must undertake concrete evaluation and perhaps Euro Disney can use some other plans and strategies which can help changing the structure of the park, framework of the planning process into a modernized one and convincing visitors to choose Euro Disney over any other parks by having some special events such as discounts and gifts. 3.3 Lessons learned Until such time that problem faced Euro Disney by false assumptions and wrong plans, Disney seemed to perfect theme park as it never did a mistake or such a failure. In case, some mistakes were obviously shown in the result. We can learn several lessons from this Euro Disneyland case. As we plan, we should always have concrete business planning before deciding on the actual process of the project, applying all the potential needs and understanding cultural differences. Also, value of the financing control is also a lesson and that in every aspect of business function, integrated assumptions concerning to financial problems should be improved and value of managing menaces has to be accurately reviewed and to be trained with positive thoughts and motivation in order to solve problems and concerns in every business environment.   5 CONCLUSIONS The business performance of Euro Disneyland was not that great and stable. It couldnt have right assumptions on the European market and there has been cruel European recession such as increase in interest rates and French currency value. The preliminary plan was not ample and accurate in providing resolutions to Disney problems and concerns that arisen. A major criticism on Euro Disneyland was that it is neither international nor French in nature, and it failed to satisfy Europeans at all. Many of the visitors could not figure it out the theme of Euro Disneyland that whether it is going to be a European park, an American park, or a French park. In the meantime, the cost for Euro Disneyland was also an issue for some visitors. Many of the French visitors had been discouraged from coming because of the cost such as housing cost, souvenirs, admission cost and so forth. Attendance was kept on decreasing and the company of course, had great financial loss. Euro Disney gave people who couldnt afford to go to America an identical experience as same as in America. However, the Euro Disney was failed to please French visitors, even European visitors but made them to complain about the long lines, and poor service.
