College Education Essay

In his essay entitled â€Å"How to Get a College Education†, Jeffrey Hart described the negative effect of Allan Bloom’s book The Closing of the American Mind on his Dartmouth freshman composition course students. These students, Ivy-leaguers and top test scorers, disliked the book’s criticism of their mentality but at the behest of Hart’s impromptu oral quizzing, could not adequately discuss historical figures and events. Although Hart’s freshman class realized the gaps in their education, Hart asks what a real college education is, deplores the advent of specialization, and discusses what does or does not constitute real education. Hart’s concern with education lies with the end result: to produce a citizen. But while Hart gives excellent examples for what subjects he thinks constitute a real education in light of telos, a goal, he implies, rather than specifies, that such an education must cater to proactive, independent thought over ideologically based curriculum and courses. It is through well-rounded, balanced independent thought, Hart argues, that a citizen who can â€Å"recreate his civilization† be made. In the first example, Hart names a curriculum engaged in â€Å"so-called post modernist thought† as something to avoid. It is one of the three â€Å"intellectual fads†, in which the use of the word â€Å"fad† describes a fashionable conduct as enthusiastically followed by a group. This way, Hart indirectly refers to post modernist thought as ideological and lacking in independent thought. The second â€Å"fad† refers to Affirmative Action, which Hart describes as an â€Å"ethos† or â€Å"mentality†. â€Å"Ethos† describes the disposition of a culture or a group, and â€Å"mentality† refers to the set of a person or a group’s mind; and both words conjure a certain blindness that Affirmative Action is supposed to fight. Again, Hart reflects on the dearth of nuance and consideration in such courses. Thirdly, Hart directly mentions ideology when he writes about Marxism, victimology, and identity politics, in which â€Å"scholarly pursuit† is put aside in deference to â€Å"’Studies’ programs†. Hart calls many of these courses â€Å"nonsense† and â€Å"distraction†, but fails to directly write that the single underlying theme of such courses is that because they operate under an ideology, they do not foster free thinking and independent rationality. Hart underlines his position for independent rationality by going on to discuss courses and curricula that he thinks support the end goal of citizenship. Rationality is implied when Hart takes on the subject of requiring a student to know and understanding themes in civilization, a task that maneuvers beyond mere adherence to ideological standards. The student must know his civilization: â€Å".. its important areas of thought, its philosophical and religious controversies, the outline of its history and its major works. The citizen need not know quantum physics, but he should know that it is there and what it means. Once the citizen knows the shape, the narrative, of his civilization, he is able to locate new things — and other civilizations — in relation to it. † By referring to controversies, major works, and narrative, Hart’s stance on education is of well-roundedness, independent thought, and being comfortable on differing sides of issues—a stance not suitable to the ideologically minded. Hart makes connections to Athens and Jerusalem in order to outline how a student may develop her college education. Both Athens and Jerusalem were and are centers of independent thought. Athens refers to the ancient Greek capital in which rational thought, philosophy, and democracy were birthed; it was the birthplace of philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle: Of things useful and necessary only those that are free should be taught, and the young should partake in nothing of a vulgar, mechanical sort or that will render body, soul, or thought unfit for virtue. (Philips 154). Jerusalem, since the reign of Solomon, has been the spiritual capital of three major religions in the world today. Independent thought emerges out of Jerusalem in the guise of Abraham who sought argument with God, and Jesus, who argued and fought with the spiritual leaders– priests and scribes, or Pharisees and Sadducees—of his day (Columbia). A student, dynamically engaged with both scientifically rational and enlighteningly spiritual sides, can succeed in mastering themes of his or her civilization with independence of thought rather than subsisting on an ideological track. Such a student would be able to carve for him or herself a true education with a goal of not being simply educated, but a goal of becoming an involved, active citizen of society, and of a civilization. Hart discusses China as a final example to his essay. Hart reminds us that one could consider China, who has lacked the dynamic interaction between science and spirituality, and who is world renowned for its collectivist culture, one in which independent thought is frowned upon. Again, Hart does not directly mention this, but references it with mentioning China with its â€Å"symbols†: Great Wall and Forbidden City. REFERENCES Jerusalem.

War Dogs

Man’s Greatest Ally It is not a new idea to use dogs in combat; for thousands of years dogs have been used in war. Almost all of the greatest civilizations that have ruled have used dogs as key component in their military tactics. Historical records have shown that dogs were used as watch guards for the Egyptians during periods of war (specifically during the Middle Kingdom) and that the Romans made entire attack formations of dogs to help with their various land conquering campaigns. These dogs were bred for combat and were often given armor and spiked collars to make them more lethal in combat.In more recent years, dogs are used in other combat situations. In 1988, Israeli Special Forces used dogs as an attack force against a terrorist organization in Lebanon. In America, dogs have been used in combat for well over 180 years. Though the canine’s military missions and methods have changed since that 1830’s, their importance in combat remains just as critical. Ho wever, the public in general does not realize the significance of dogs in warfare as well as in homeland security. In America, the first recorded use of dogs by the military was during the Second Seminole War in 1835.The military had hired five dog handlers and 33 bloodhounds to help track and detain the Seminoles and runaway slaves that were hiding in the swamps of Florida and Louisiana. Several states (New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Indiana) protested the use of dogs by the military and sent several petitions to Congress. Most of these protesters were Quakers that believed it was wrong to make these dogs hunt like savages. Though many petitions were sent, Congress dismissed all of the protests and allowed the military to use the dogs in combat. Dogs were not used by the military for another 20 years.During the Civil War both the Union and the Confederate Armies recorded the use of dogs a mascots, sentries, and guards. Interestingly, the dogs were not supposed to assume these roles, originally their masters brought them into the military as a source of companionship, not protection. One of the most recognizable dogs during the Civil War was Sallie, a brindle bull terrier. Sallie joined the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry Unit at the beginning of the war as a pup and served the unit as source comfort, inspiration, and loyalty to their cause.In the heat of battle Sallie would bark and intimidate Confederate soldiers and lick the wounds of her fallen comrades. Sallie survived such battles as Gettysburg and Oak Ridge. Sallie met her untimely death at Hatcher’s Run, Virginia by a bullet to the head. Her unit cared about her so much that they buried her immediately, even though the battle was still raging on. There were several other dog mascots in the Civil War, though none matched the popularity of Sallie. The use of dogs changed during the Spanish-American War from a relatively docile role to a more militarily useful function.It was recorded by Teddy Roosevelt and his â€Å"Rough Riders†, that dogs were scouts that helped navigate the dense jungle terrain in Cuba and patrols for the horses. This is also the first time in American military history that the dogs used were actually trained in navigation and protection tactics. Dogs were again used as mascots during the Spanish-American War for the military. In an old photograph, taken in 1900, the USS Texas (a vessel used during the war) depicted fellow crewman with their mascots–a cat and a dog (both unnamed).The role of the dog expanded even more during the Great War. During this time period a vast amount of dogs were employed as: sentries, messengers, ammunition & food carriers, scouts, sled dogs, draught dogs (water carriers), guard dogs, Red Cross casualty dogs (carrying med packs), and even cigarette dogs. The German armies had a total of 30,000 dogs in service during the war, France had over 20,000, and Italy supplied the Allies with 3,000 dogs. Americans did not have an y organized dog units and ended up borrowing several dog units from France and Britain during the war.There were over ten different breeds of dogs that were used during WWI; each breed was used for different tasks. The most popular group of dogs was the Red Cross Causality dogs (A. K. A. mercy dogs). These dogs were first trained by the Germans to carry medical supplies and seek out wounded soldiers. If a soldier was clearly dying the mercy dog would lie down next to him and provide the soldier comfort as he died. These dogs have been credited to saving a numerous amount of lives during the war by being able to reach wounded soldiers with med packs at lightning speeds.The Red Cross dog method was quickly copied by the Ally troops. During the war both the Allies and the Germans began searching for the perfect breed of dog (specifically the best Red Cross dogs). They wanted a dog that was black or gray in color, one with a good sense of smell and sight, and medium in build. The people working on this project also realized that mixed breeds performed better than purebred dogs and began to focus on crossbreeding. The use of Red Cross dogs died along with the use of trench warfare.Messenger dogs were major contributors to the war effort on both sides of the conflict. These dogs were trained to send messages between the front lines and command headquarters when the phone lines were down. The messenger dogs have often been attributed for circuitously saving the lives of many soldiers by providing vital information to them when their main source of communication (phones) was shut down. By WWII, Germany again had the largest number of dogs used in combat (an estimated over 200,000 dogs).This time however, America had finally established a military program called the K-9 Corp in 1942. After the Pearl Harbor attack and the declaration of war by America’s government, the American Kennel Club began a program called â€Å"Dogs for Defense†. This program reques ted all dog owners in America to donate quality dogs to the Quartermaster Corps for the K-9 program. The â€Å"Dogs for Defense† program was able to receive over 19,000 dogs and over thirty different breeds of dog. When these dogs entered the canine program 45% of them were sent back and considered unfit for military training.The breed of dogs chosen after this period was shrunk down to five (Dobermans, German Shepherds, Belgium Sheep Dogs, Farm Collies, and Giant Schnauzers). Originally these dogs were to be used mainly to protect civilian war plants (arsenal factories) however, there became a growing need for sentry dogs for the soldiers overseas. Basic training for a dog would last eight to twelve weeks and they would be trained to wear gas masks, muzzles, ride vehicles, and remain calm under gunfire. The dogs were also trained in basic commands (sit, roll over, stay, etc. ).After basic training, the dogs were then instructed in one of four specialized jobs: sentry, patrol , messenger, and mine detection. The only new job for dogs was mine detection, which consisted of detecting booby traps, trip wires, metallic and non-metallic mines. This program was not largely successful because the dogs had a hard time detecting these traps in combat. Alene Erlanger, a civilian consultant of the Quartermaster General, wrote a report on the misconceptions of the use of dogs in the military. She stated the public considered military dogs to be vicious killers and this view was completely false.Erlanger described the dogs as protectors of soldiers through their different combat roles such as delivering messages under fire and detecting enemy positions. Erlanger urged the readers change their skewed view of military dogs and acknowledge these heroes for their role in saving thousands of American lives in combat. When the war was over, all the donated dogs were were returned to their original owners; however, before being returned the dogs were trained to readjust to a civilian lifestyle. Sadly, some of these dogs (suffering from doggy PTSD) were unable to assimilate back in with society and were put down.After WWII the US lost interest in the War Dog programs, they closed most of all but one program, transferred dog training to the Military Police Corp, and moved the remaining 26th Scout Dog Program to Fort Carson, Colorado. The 26th platoon served in the Korean War for two years (1951 – 1953) and was very successful, receiving three silver stars, six bronze stars for valor, and thirty-six bronze stars for meritorious service. After being in Fort Carson for six years the 26th Scout Dog Platoon, along with the War Dog Training Center was moved to Fort Benning, Georgia.Another change that occurred was that the Air Force became the primary service to use the dogs. During the late fifties and early sixties, the Air Force developed expensive aircrafts and housed state-of-the-art weaponry, thus increasing the requirement for more sentry dogs t o protect these valuable assets. Consequently, the Air Force established another War Dog Training Center in Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. At the commencement of the Vietnam War, dogs were not immediately placed in the combat zone. However, by 1960, the United States Air Force K-9 Corp stationed teams in Vietnam primarily for dog sentry research.It wasn’t until 1965 when the military finally allowed dogs to participate in the war; by the end of the year 100 dogs were in Vietnam. The combat role of these dogs differed from the canine missions in WWII and the Korean War. These dogs were trained to track Viet-Cong trails and to detect the hidden booby traps placed in the jungles. Again the majority of dogs were sentry dogs, however, with the primary mission to detect the deadly sapper teams that attacked base camps at night. The military dogs were largely successful and in an article written during the Vietnam War they were described as â€Å"our enemies worst enemy†.Thi s article, written by SP4 Wain Rubenstein, described the rigorous training the sentry dog underwent to prepare for Vietnam. He detailed the working conditions of the dogs, the long night hours they remained alert to protect the base from any intruders, and the critical need for their acute olfactory senses to detect the faintest odor of a near by trap or Viet-Cong. Rubenstein also acknowledged the handlers (the dog’s master) needed to be as proficient as the dogs, in terms of physically fitness, mentally capacity, and their ability to establish a bond with the dog.Without these qualities the dog would not live up to its full potential. By the end of the Vietnam War, 4000 American dogs were sent to Vietnam and they were accredited with saving over 10,000 lives in the process of 10 years. Unfortunately, of those 4000 dogs, only 200 returned home. In an article written by CNN, the surviving handlers of the Vietnam War discussed their memories of the war and their dogs. All expre ssed sorrow for the dogs they left buried in the Vietnam soil. The article clearly demonstrated the handler’s strong emotional bond with their respective dogs, a connection that they still remember almost a half century later.After the Vietnam War the role of dogs in the military was reduced to a division of the military police unit. In 1967 the military established the Air Force Security Police Dog Training School which was school that trained dogs to work security with officers. The school, which still stands today, trains dogs to remain clam when approached by unfamiliar people, to discriminate between a threatening gesture and an accepting gesture; to remain alert; to willingly enter vehicles with other people and dogs without becoming hostile; and to be obedient both with or without a leash.The dogs are trained to enter empty buildings to search for hidden intruders and to examine areas to find lost or concealed objects. The dogs are taught to aggressively attack an enem y with a simple command of the handler and just as quickly stop when commanded by the handler. I personally witnessed this training when interviewing a dog handler on Peterson Air Force K-9 Unit; Ssgt. Chris Kench demonstrated a routine training scenario with his dog Gina. The exercises commenced with a simple work out course that incorporated running, jumping, climbing, and crawling for a total of fifteen minutes.Next, Ssgt Kench demonstrated the four commands with Gina. The first command was to attack a person (in this case a person in a protective suit) that is running away from the handler, the next command was when the handler instructed the dog to stop her attack, and the third command was when the handler commanded the dog to attack, but then commanded the dog to heel before actually touching the suspect. The last command isn’t really a command, but an instinct, which was when the handler was attacked, the dog attacked the enemy without consent from his handler.Upon fu rther discussion with Ssgt. Kench I discovered that Peterson Air Force Base has the second largest K-9 unit with seventeen dogs. The only post that exceeds this number is Andrews AFB, MD, which is the post that provides security dogs for the president. Ssgt. Kench also stated that the breed of dogs currently used in the Air Force have shrunk to two (the German Shepard and the Belgium Malinois). Both of these were chosen because of their quick maneuverability and their exceptional detection skills.Ssgt Kench went on to say that these dogs only last nine to twelve years before retiring due to old age, hip displacement, and disease. When the dogs retire they are often adopted by their last handlers and spend the reminder of their lives as civilians. Dogs have been an invaluable resource to the US military for well over 180 years. Whether as messengers, patrollers, or just as simple mascots, they have provided America with a sense of comfort and protection. Many of these dogs have direc tly contributed to saving thousands of lives and they deserve recognition for work they have done.Military dogs have been in almost every war that America has participated in and their roles and missions have continued to evolve with each conflict. Yet throughout history they have continually received little if any acknowledgment by the public for their efforts and were almost eradicated after the Korean War. It is important that we as a country recognize these small heroes for their critical role in the history of our country and appreciate that they are mans greatest ally.

Does a foreign company have an obligation to conform to local customs, Research Paper

Does a foreign company have an obligation to conform to local customs, or is it, at most, just good business to do so - Research Paper Example Foreign investment therefore is a result of the rising needs of companies to enhance the accomplishment of organizational goals. This paper presents a critique of whether a foreign company has an obligation to conform to local customs, or whether it does so since it is at most, just â€Å"good business†. When companies establish in foreign land, they find rules that govern trade, some of which may be similar to the parent country while others are totally different. There are also other companies in the particular country that are already established and are keen observers of the entry of new industries in the economy due to competition. Such companies expect the foreign investor to compete on fair grounds with the local organizations. No matter the nature of local customs, market liberalization requires businesses to invest based on willingness as well as the capability to maintain competitiveness under the prevailing conditions. On the other hand, local customs are obligatory for all organizations that have interest in investing within an economy. As investors move in to foreign markets, they usually face difficulties depending on many factors such as political stability, barriers to trade and conflicts of interests among other hindrances. These usually present high risks to foreign investors considering the fact that it requires a high initial capital outlay to establish in a foreign economy. The stocks acquired in foreign companies may be lost if the host country fails to formulate policies that facilitate foreign investment. In case of policies focused on the expropriation of foreign companies to utilize property or premises for other development purposes, foreign organizations may face a lot of difficulties and are usually at a risk of closure and losses (Dugan et al. 2008). However, the international law has provisions aimed at protecting foreign

Advantages And Disadvantages Of The System Of Trial By Jury Essay

Advantages And Disadvantages Of The System Of Trial By Jury - Essay Example Another reason behind having trials by jury is to protect the liberty of the accused – because crime is not only a legal subject, it is also social hence, it is important to ensure that the society also renders a certain act as a crime. The advantages of jury trial are numerous. First, it injects in insensitive system an element of humanity: the abstract impersonal trials become closer to reality with the inclusion of law people who judge only on the basis of social conscience, rather than stricto-senso law. This helps in decreasing the undue influence exerted by legal professionals in the adversarial system as Britain who tend to conduct business on strictly legal terms without paying heed to the opinion of the lay majority. Secondly, trial by jury is a manifestation of the right of an accused to be judged his own peers and hence this is also an expression of his liberty. According to Devlin (1956)1 ‘trial by jury is more than an instrument of justice and more than the wheel of constitution; it is a lamp that shows freedom lives’. Therefore, trial by jury is an inherent right of an individual that opens one path for him to ensure that he gets a fair trial. Thirdly, trial by jury is reflective of contemporary social conditions and that helps the defendant in his fair trial. Also, the secret deliberations of the jury members in the jury room after which they arrive at certain verdicts are helpful because they are free from any outside influence; any investigation or interrogation is not allowed into how jury members reached a certain verdict. This helps the jurors to decide on a suitable verdict independently free from any pressure, or remorse from any party. This also ensures that no media intervention is...

Creative problem solving Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Creative problem solving - Research Paper Example Experts (Isaksen, 1992) have indicated that environment with a higher level of trust is more likely to promote collaboration and subsequently, higher performance and productivity in the organization. Similarly, during a CPS session, it is very important for the facilitators to ensure higher level of trust by ensuring openness during the session. This can be achieved by sharing the agenda of the session and ensuring transparency regarding expectations and challenges, which can play a constructive role in supporting productivity. Another way to promote creativity and productivity during a CPS session is to provide opportunities to the participants to share their ideas and opinions. One of the ways to implement this is idea-time strategy is to provide flexible timings and extra time that promote discovery and exploration of new ideas, which subsequently results in higher level of productivity. Business experts (Isaksen, 1992) have indicated that it is usually irrational to expect profit and/or productivity without taking any risks in the market. Similarly, in a CPS session, it is important for facilitators to take risks in order to promote uncertainty that eventually causes creativity and increases productivity. However, it is imperative that facilitators should consider the notions of diversity, ambiguity, and mentality of the stakeholders, as lack of awareness of these may result in contradictory outcomes. Collaboration (Isaksen, 1992) is one of the essential requisites to promote creativity. For example, in a CPS session, facilitators can create a collaborative climate by dividing individuals into groups and/or teams that will enable the individuals to go through different processes of forming, storming, norming, and performing while eventually enhancing the level of productivity. It is human nature to expect recognition or reward in return of an attempt

Why is stress such a major concern for employers today Essay

Why is stress such a major concern for employers today - Essay Example People, who can take it as an opportunity or challenge, can improve their performances and make a mark. The different factors that cause stress are known as stressors. The environmental stressors include economic, political and technological changes. Organisational structure is always influenced by economic environment of the country and this has been more closely realised in the current global financial turmoil. Because of economic slowdown in most of the developed nations, organisations have been forced to change their structure in the form of cost reduction, halting production and most importantly reducing employee strength by lay off or even permanent job cuts. This has created immense stress on employees. Their anxiousness gone to extreme high as their job security declined. Organisations are often forced to change their structure because of various political reasons. When a country is politically restless, organisational structure also becomes unstable because of that. For an instance, when East Germany integrated to West Germany many people were under stress of loosing job, changing organisational culture etc. Another important environmental factor is technological change. In this advanced age of information, everyday a new technology is getting invented. Because of these new technological inventions, an employee’s skill or experience might become obsolete at a very short period of time. Consequently, a person might come under huge stress of loosing importance in the current system of operation. Some times implementation of new technology in organisation leads to even reduction in number of employees if few of them found not suited for that new platform. These things make employees to come under huge mental stress. Role demands include the pressure of performing a job which the person is not supposed to do, when the role itself is not clear to the

Reconstruction as Argued Upon by Booker T. Washington Essay

Reconstruction as Argued Upon by Booker T. Washington - Essay Example According to Washington, reconstruction had a serious challenge in its attempt to establish freedom. In the modern era, the procedures of putting an end to war involved a simple method whereby representatives from the warring parties would sit together in a round table and discuss measures to take in order to achieve peace. This depended on things like intensity and duration of war and reasons for fighting thereby, settlements regarding peace would range form harsh to generous. In case of a harsh resolution, the assumption was that these parties would again meet in the battlefield. Regarding America’s civil war, resolution of such kind were impossible as people regarded the warring parties that is, the Union and the Confederacy as unequal. This is because Unions accused Confederacy of their right to exist as a separate nation (57). Having ended the Confederacy’s political independence claim, the Unions perceived that, no any other party that they could negotiate with an ything regarding peace. Therefore, they left it to the federal government to decide on how to treat the defeated Confederates. Washington points out that President Lincoln had proposed an end to civil war in the midst of it. Nevertheless, it worth noting that reconstruction began sometimes prior the war in 1860 when Crittenden Committee attempted to sort for comprise that would reverse the secession course. The committee proposed Constitutional amendments that guaranteed continuum of slavery in areas where it already existed. However, all these attempts were bound to bear no fruits in response to the prevailing mood in the South. Following victories in Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga, President Lincoln hoped that the Confederates would find it reasonable to join the Union if presented with generous terms. In December 1863, he presented an Amnesty and Reconstruction Proclamation stating that those states whose ten percent of their 1860 electorates would swear a loyalty oath to Union and accept to emancipation would get readmission. However, the Congress did not approve of Lincoln’s strategy and responded with a much harsher approach. As Washington puts across that, President Lincoln did not stop his idea of trying to treat the Southerners with generosity. In fact, his second Inaugural Address famously perceived for the inscription on Lincoln Memorial’s wall in Washington in which kind words without malice encouraged treatment with charity and firmness in the right. After Lee surrendered at Appomattox, he again, President Lincoln outlined his plan of generosity for reconstruction. Nonetheless, April 14, 1865 President Lincoln was shot in the head by John Wilkes Booth and died in the morning of the following day. Booth, an actor from Virginia blamed his action on egregious South’s defeat. With his assassination, hopes for a more lenient reconstruction suffered a fatal blow and brought a chilling effect on potential sympathy for the Sou th. With Lincoln dead, Vice President Andrew Johnson accessed the presidency seat according to the Constitution. Apparently, Johnson intended to carry forward generous reconstruction policies when he carried a distinct animus towards the Southern planting class who were rich. Johnson’

Endangered language.-----sermo vulgaris Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

Endangered language.-----sermo vulgaris - Essay Example The language was mostly spoken at home or in social gatherings where people had the freedom to talk without following certain rules as it was with the classical Latin. Language spoken and not written was highly diluted by other languages and could not be easily traced. The original composition of the language is not concrete because its earlier existence was not recorded. Sermo Vulgaris spread to various parts of the world but mostly to areas that traded with the Roman Empire. Because of the trade relations that existed among nations that traded with the Romans, they had to integrate Sermo Vulgaris in their languages for them to effectively trade with the Empire. The empire also took many nations captive and they were forced to learn their language for them to communicate effectively. Political interactions and positions in various areas that were close to the empire also influenced the spread of the language (Nancy & Thomas, 1983). Social interactions among the normal people in the Roman Empire and other commoners in other communities also influenced the growth of the language. It was further widely spread to other countries because of their integration with other cultures and social groups. The Romans who spoke Sermo Vulgaris played a great role in the diversification of the language. However, despite its massive growth, there came a time when the language started diminishing from its people. The language slowly degraded because of several factors. The changes made by the soldiers of the Roman Empire played a part in the extinction of Sermo Vulgaris. When the Roman Empire interacted with people of other nations, Sermo Vulgaris became a weak language. The correlation between Sermo Vulgaris and other languages led to the dissolving of the language leading to its slow and lingering death. Since the language was not written down, its survival depended on

Employee Fraud in the UK Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Employee Fraud in the UK - Essay Example This will ensure that they are correct and functioning in the right manner. 1. The auditors should help the management device means of preventing the fraud. The management should also put an internal control system that will help them prevent and curtail the fraud. This can be achieved by encouraging employees’ rotation in their duties. This will help remove the employee colluding with the customer from her position and hence will not have to give the customer the goods. This will also ensure that there is no collusion among the employees themselves to defraud the organization. To prevent further fraud resulting from the employees colluding with the buyers the organization should also ensure that the employees are paid well and are put under close supervision. They should also mechanize the system and allocate various people specific duties to minimize theft. For example, one worker should be charged with making the products inventory while another one is mandated with collect ing money from the customers. At the end of the day, these two should balance the sales with the money they had gotten to identify any mistakes that would have occurred and when they occurred and who was responsible. The audits should also be carried on a regular basis to ensure that proper records are kept any fraud is identified at an earlier stage. This will make individual employees more responsible and hence avoid the high rates of fraud in the company. 2. The auditors’ should recommend to the company to have honest employees in the supervisory level. The employees should be qualified, competent and efficient. They should also be well remunerated and should be allowed to develop themselves. This will help employees associate with the company and hence reduce the cases of fraud. The management should also make the employees aware of the levels of fraud taking place in the company. They should also conduct surprise internal audit and job rotation so that they can make empl oyees shun from committing irregularities. This will make employees more cautious and hence reduce rates of fraud. The organization should also hire a human resources manager who will hire and fire employees and will regulate the employees pay. The human resource manager will have all the serial numbers documented and clock cards and time sheets that will be used to record time. These clock times and the time sheets will be provided and approved for payments. The payroll should be approved by the top management committee. After the payments have been made, a thorough check should be done on the documents against the payments to ensure that they are in agreement. All the deductions that have been made during the checks should be documented. The monthly payroll should also be reconciled by an independent clerk. 3. The company should restrict the number of people handling the cash and ensure the returns are filed daily. The accounts should also be reconciled frequently, and the clerks handling any cash should be supervised.

Information technology revolution impact on the third world countries Essay

Information technology revolution impact on the third world countries - Essay Example Besides, one of the signs of the extent of attention and alertness dedicated to information and communication technology globally is its immense contribution to the global GDP, which augmented from 5.5% in the past years to 6.75% contemporarily. Moreover, the size of this sector in the contemporary or present world tallies to 2.5 trillion dollars globally. Furthermore, the implication of ICT on the level of productivity and the GDP is overtly consummate, and a single illustration of this factual statement is the yearly growth rate of prime monetary systems such as the U.S.A., which notably augmented from approximately 1.4% for up to 1995 to the eventual or present 2.3% up to the year 2000. Notably, this augmentation attributes to the augmented productivity in diverse sectors of the community, with close regard to the ICT contribution of 75%. Moreover, in the Australian monetary system, ICT has augmented productivity in virtually all economic sections by approximately 30%. A further positive implication of ICT on the global perspective is that its industries are effectually aiding in the complete diversification of capital sources and structuring of new immensely paying job opportunities for the people (Chandra 144). Moreover, this reduces the current unemployment rate and notably augments income of a common inhabitant. Saudi Arabia is a conferrable nation in whose case ICT has immensely contributed more than 15% of the GDP. Additionally, another feature of ICT on the global perspective is that its penetration into diverse fields and dispensations with a general purpose of enabling or activating technology. This happens via ICT providing a ready platform for virtually all sectors of the economy. In this case, it has contributed immensely to numerous sectors of the economy in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, this comes as an addition

Us Involvement in World War I Essay Example for Free

Us Involvement in World War I Essay US Involvement The US started to get involved in other countries during the Industrial Age, and we started using imperialism, which lead to World War 1. During the Industrial age, we were focused on getting more and more goods so we could run our factories. Trade was very important during this time because we couldn’t sell enough goods to the American public, so we traded them to other countries. When the US realized they could just take over another country and make them trade, this seemed a lot easier. Imperialism was partly based on, â€Å"My backyard is my business. † Also known as, the Monroe doctrine. We invaded Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Philippines, and we created a revolution in Panama against Columbia, and that is where we built the Panama Canal so we could use it for as a trading route, and a two ocean navy. World War 1 was caused by militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. The US entered World War 1 because of three things. The Russian Revolution threatened the US because we didn’t want them to drop out of the war. The sinking of the Lusitania was another cause because not only did some Americans die, but we had goods on the ship and if we couldn’t trade with Europe because the Germans were sinking our ships with U-boats, we wouldn’t be able to run our factories because we had no one to trade with. And last, but not least, the Zimmerman telegram was given to us a month after it had been sent to Mexico. Germany was trying to get Mexico involved in the war by telling them if they won they would be able to get back Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona if they attacked the US. We realized that we had to take action fast so we entered the war. All of these were times when the US had to step out of their bubble and see what was going on the other side of their borders. The industrial age, imperialism, and world war 1 all made the US involved with someone outside of America.

The China Trade Act Of 2000 Essay Example for Free

The China Trade Act Of 2000 Essay The China Trade Act of 2000 was introduced in Congress to allow free trade with China as with other favored nations. Trade with communist countries was currently allowed only on a year-to-year basis under the Trade Act of 1974, unlike the permanent basis offered other countries. Many members of the business community, and then President Clinton wanted this stipulation lifted once China joined the World Trade Organization, which was forthcoming. This required an act of Congress. Since Republicans typically favor big business, this allied President Clinton (D) with many Republicans and against many members of his own party, as well as labor unions. The president desired to push this bill through before his term in office ended. Clinton gathered support for this bill by speaking with hundreds of lawmakers, either individually, in groups or by phone. A $10 million ad compaign, the largest ever, was launched by the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable. There were many in the legislature concerned about granting permanent free trade to China due to Chinas history of human rights violations including religious persecution, denial of political rights and labor issues. The bill was closed to amendments and most Republicans supported the bill. However, it was not clear if there would be enough votes to ensure passage of the bill. Organized labor was the biggest opponent of the bill. Even Vice President Al Gore broke ranks with the president and said the bill would only move American jobs to China. Large corporations lobbied heavily in support of the bill. Governor George Bush and General Colin Powell were even asked to help convince undecided Republicans to support the Democratic presidents goals. The bill passed the House with no amendments by a surprisingly wide margin. The business community unleashed an unprecedented campaign that was hard for anyone to match, said the president of the United Auto Workers. The bill was then handed to the Senate and immediately several opponents of the bill began a filibuster. A cloture, motional requiring 60 Senators to cut  off debate, was activated and scores of amendments offered by Senators failed. The bill passed without amendment with an 85-15 vote. The process for passage of the China Trade Act of 2000 took about 1 year from start to finish. Opinion It is interesting that a Democratic president lobbied heavily for a historically Republican platform. I am also glad to see that many from both parties worked together to accomplish an important goal. The process to pass a bill is a lengthy process. Lawmakers and special interest groups felt passionate about his issue, causing some to split from their party alignment, join ranks with the opposing party, and lobby heavily to ensure passage of this bill.

Comparison on Computation Cost of the Cloud

Comparison on Computation Cost of the Cloud In this chapter, we list the comparison on computation cost of the cloud for file upload between †¦ and our scheme. Computational Cost Data access issues in the field of the cloud computing provide a good measurement-based performance as mentioned along this research, and hence, the security features can be improved using the new proposed model as well as a suitable computational cost. However, the proposed protocol provides these advantages and evaluates the performance based on computational cost and security requirements. The performance of our proposed scheme is evaluated using the existing experimental in [33] [34] [35] for a variety of cryptographic operations using MIRACLE [36] in PIV 3 GHZ processor with Windows XP operating system and 512 MB memory. From [33] [34] [35] the relative running time for the operations we adopted in our proposed scheme and we define some terms for the running time calculations: Tp= Pairing operation= 20.01 ms Th= Hash function= 3.04 ms Tpm= Pairing-based scalar multiplication= 6.38 ms Tec= ECC-based scalar multiplication= 0.83 ms Other operations: omitted The following tables illustrates the performance efficiency based on running time which is focus on user side including data owner: Table 1: Computational Cost-based Performance Efficiency Phases↓ Operations Running time (ms) Key Generation Tec+2Th 6.91 Upload Tp+Th 23.05 Download (Transformation Key) Tpm 6.38 Total Tp+ Tpm+Tec+3Th 36.34 The following table shows comparison between [37] [38] and our scheme in the major process which is file upload/download, with file in any size (not affected) and for one user: Table 2: Comparison of Computational Cost-based Performance Efficiency References→ Ref [37] Ref [38] Our scheme Upload 872.09 33.24 23.05 Download 400.21 39.25 6.38 Total 1272.30 72.49 29.43 From the above tables we clearly can observe that our proposed model is more efficient and has low running time indeed. The following figure can simplify this comparison: Figure 1: Comparison of performance efficiency-based running time Security requirement In the security aspects of our proposed model, we can notice that this model can achieve AC, FR, DC, IG, security requirements. Furthermore, this model not only provide a cost-based efficient scheme, but also provide a high secure and robust model against attacks such as Anti-collusion, Replay, MITM, and DoS attacks as follows: Anti-collusion attack  Ã‚   Some unauthorized users or members whose attributes do not satisfy the access policy, they may also try to access the data by colluding together with other users or even the service provider to compromise some data owners privacy. Our scheme is considered it to be secure against this attack due when a user is revoked, the group manager updates the revocation list (RL) stored in the cloud with a new. In addition, the group manager adds a time stamp to the data files and signs, to make sure that the cloud updates the data files.   New DF = sign ts (à °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ… ¸Ãƒ °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ‹Å" =(à ¢Ã… ¸Ã‚ ¨Ãƒ °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ‚ ¢,à °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ†â€™(à °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ‚ ¢)à ¢Ã… ¸Ã‚ © ∀à °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ‚ ¢-∈à °Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬ËœÃ¢â‚¬ ¦Ãƒ °Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ ¿), group id, CT ) Replay attack Replay attacks are network attacks in which the attacker spies the conversation between the sender and receiver and takes the authenticated information e.g. sharing key and then contact to the receiver with that key. Moreover, our scheme is considered it to be secure against this attack due to temporary session by using timestamp for encrypted data. Man-in-the-Middle Attack (MITM) Man-in-the-middle attack has become quite popular in the SaaS environment. Here the attacker intercepts the communication channel established between legitimate users and modifies the communication between client and server without their knowledge. Moreover, our scheme is considered it to be secure against this attack due to encrypted identities and the hash function used in the term of key generation: Denial of Service Attack (DOS): Most of the serious attacks in cloud computing.   In   Denial   of   service   attack   an   attacker   prevent   legitimate   users   of   service   from   using   the desired resources by flood a network or by consuming bandwidth .So authentication is need to distinguish legitimated   clients   from   malicious   clients,   which   can   be   performed   through   strong   cryptographic verification. Moreover, our scheme is considered it to be secure against this attack due to the client creates a unique HMAC, or hash, per request to the cloud by combing the request data and hashing that data, along with his id and sending it as part of a request. The cloud receives the request and regenerates its own unique HMAC. The cloud compares the two HMACs, and, if theyre equal, the client is trusted and the request is executed. Request | | tk+ H(id)   For convince, we define the following terms: AC: Access control FR: Flexible revocation DC: Data confidentiality IG: Integrity Sym: Symmetric Algorithm CT: Computational cost TS: Timestamp ODBE: RBE: Role based encryption LGS: leveraging group signature DBE: dynamic broadcast encryption Table 3 Security requirement comparison References→ Ref [ 38] Ref [39] Ref [40] Our scheme Techniques Sym DBE RBE ABE Features AC, DC AC, DC AC AC, FR, DC, IG Comments High CT, No TS High CT, No TS High CT, No TS Low CT,TS Anti-collusion attack √ Replay attack √ MITM attack √ DoS attack √ √  Ã‚   means the scheme can achieve the corresponding goal.

japan :: essays research papers

Morita was born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1921 the son of sake brewers. In 1946, he helped start Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo KK (the Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation) with Ibuka. They had $375 and space in an abandoned department store, shelled by bombs in the war. The company quickly built Japan's first tape recorder, but it was big and bulky -- not a product destined to propel the company into the limelight. Then, in the 1950s, Ibuka and Morita got a license from Bell Labs to build transistors. The Japanese were still hard hit by the war, and couldn't really afford expensive electronics, so Ibuka set his sights on the American market with a brand new idea -- a small, transistorized radio that could fit in your pocket. As it was, a US company built such a radio first, but more as a gimmick than an actual product. When Sony, as Morita's company was soon renamed, came out with their radio, it quickly took over the market While the Regency sold out everywhere, it didn't stay on the market. Texas Instruments caused the sensation it wanted and then moved on to other things. But over in Japan, a tiny company had other ideas. A tape recorder manufacturer called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo had also decided to make small radios. In fact, they were going to devote their whole company to commercial products like that. Tsushin Kogyo was close to manufacturing its first radios when it heard that an American company had beaten them to the punch. But they kept up the hard work, eventually producing a radio they named the TR-52. When Regency quit producing the TR1, in the spring of 1955, the Japanese company was poised to enter the US market. While most American companies researched the transistor for its military applications, Ibuka envisioned using it for communications. While Regency and Texas Instruments in the US may have built a transistor radio first, it was the Tokyo Company that really invested the radio as a viable commercial product. Ibuka's company -- now named Sony, a combination of the Latin word for sound "sonus" and the chic Japanese boys of the time nicknamed "sonny" -- quickly took over the market. The only problem was that the company name was unprouncable for Americans. They needed a new name. Ibuka and his partner Akio Morita thought and thought. First, they found a Latin word sonus meaning, "sound.

Use of Metaphor in Tennessee Williams The Glass Menagerie Essay

Use of Metaphor in Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie In The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, the glass menagerie is a clear and powerful metaphor for each of the four characters, Tom, Laura, Amanda, and the Gentleman Caller. It represents their lives, personality, emotions, and other important characteristics. Laura is the owner and caretaker of the glass menagerie. In her own little fantasy world, playing with the glass animals is how she escapes from the real world in order to get away from the realities and hardships she endures. Though she is crippled only to a very slight degree physically, her mind is very disabled on an emotional level. Over time, she has become very fragile, much like the glass, which shatters easily, as one of the animals lost its horn; she can lose control of herself. Laura is very weak and open to attack, unable to defend herself from the truths of life. The glass menagerie is an unmistakable metaphor in representing Laura’s physical and mental states. Amanda is also well characterized by the glass menagerie. The glass sits in a case, open for display and inspection for all. Amanda try’s to portray herself as a loving mother, doing everything she can for her children, and caring nothing for herself, when in fact, she is quite selfish and demanding. Amanda claims that she devotes her life to her children, and that she would do anything for them, but is very suspicious of Tom’s activities, and continually pressures Tom, trying to force him in finding a gentleman caller for Laura, believing that Laura is lonely and needs a companion, perhaps to get married. Like the glass, her schemes are very transparent, and people can see straight through them to the other side, where ... ...Laura. If he had been what Amanda had wanted him to be, Laura would have become happy and so would have Amanda, and then Tom would have been able to go his own separate way, being freed of his duties to his mother and sister. However, as it turns out, the shelf seems to have broken, because the gentleman caller actually ignites the greatest fight of all between Tom and Amanda, and Laura is left shattered after she loses whatever she had left within her because the gentleman caller turned out to be a disappointment. Although the glass menagerie is meant as a direct metaphor for Laura, it also serves as a metaphor to the other characters in the play through various means. They are all interconnected in some way, depending on each other, and when things don’t turn out right, everything begins to fall into a downward spiral, with little or no hope for improvement.

Organized Crime Essays -- International Drug Smuggling

Organized crime is often described similarily by groups like government, the press and popular opinion. This similar definition is described through the knowledge people have gained from pop-culture movies, television shows, magazines, novels and stories from newspaper articles. Often these newspaper articles are written by authors who have little more knowledge on the structure of organized crime then what their favorite Sopranos episode dictates. It is extremely rare in today's society that somone who has an opinion on organized crime (which is almost everyone) has gained this opinion through first-hand experience (Finckenauer, p. 63). The problem with this narrow view of organized crime is that it fails to encompass the real issues/problems that truly define organized crime, therefore not allowing us as a society to fix the problems of and associated with organized crime. Stereotypes that have been made about organized crime through these pop-culture icons must be addressed and challenged by researchers as they aim to fix the definition of organized crime in the minds of the public, press, and government. Fixing society's understanding of organized crime is, as we have learned, the first and possibly most important step in controlling organized crime in our society. The view of organized crime including acts such as, international drug smuggling, for example, is organized crime often being described as a; "highly structured and organized operation with verticle lines of responsibility and communication." (Cromwell, p.251) These views are based on the idea that when large amounts of money are involved there must be a high level of organization. This however is not always the case as studies have found very little ... ... such criminal acts. By broadening our definition to not only support our out-dated and pop-culture influenced view we can better understand how organized crime has been functioning and flourishing as a group practice, and not as a hiearcial organized structure. Organized crime has been functioning and flourishing and is estimated to bring in over $1 trillion dollars annually (Galeotti, p.2). By changing our definition of organized crime we can better understand the people involved, viewing them as part of our society, and come to a better solution of how to stop organized crime groups from forming, and committing serious crimes. This will allow governments and law enforcement groups to better tackle the problem of organized crime, and not waste countless resources searching for answers and basing their actions in a narrow definition that is no longer valid.

Comparison of Poems the Magpies and Ozymandias Essay

In the two verses, The Magpies by Denis Glover and Ozy human beingsdias by Percy Bysshe Shelley a common report is that of mans imdeathrate. In The Magpies this ancestor is make especially app atomic number 18nt by dint of the comparison of the infiniteity of Elizabeth and tomcat with spirits ability to remain uniform referable to its continuous regeneration. Mean plot of ground, in Ozymandias a power has a statue strengthened and unsloped like him the statue does non survive and is actually left aband wizardd and forgotten in the depart from. This proposition of immortality is withal shown by a range of techniques much(prenominal) as the structure, election of row, imagery, movement and sounds. similarly, this theme is deckd by the typical t superstar of the beginning in a foot poetry. The verse form The Magpies has a very circumstances structure of six four-line stanzas. In from individually one of these stanzas the suffer two lines describe the sounds of the magpies, musical composition the graduation exercise two lines argon closely gobbler and Elizabeth. The second line of a share stanza withal rhymes with the live on line of apiece The magpies said. For instance in the first stanza the second line is, The bracken do their bed.This rhymed of the lines about Tom and Elizabeth with the magpies said cerebrates the two unneurotic and creates the idea of the magpies watching everything Tom and Elizabeth do. Likewise the structure of the last two lines creation about the magpies enhances the idea that the magpies are constant and scorn the age that has passed, the pines grew overhead the magpies are still there while Tom and Elizabeths lives come to an terminus, Elizabeth is dead instanter The verse form Ozymandias is also written in the format of an iambic pen dampenter and has an irregular rhyming pattern end-to-end. The rhyming pattern helps to link the poem together and create a sense of flow and almos t musical rhythm. For example the first line, an antique land, rhymes with the third line, on the sand. The poem is also non broken into stanzas like The Magpies and is sooner presented as a sonnet made up of an octet and a sestet. In the octet the question that is posed is, who does the statue in the desert represent? as the statue is alone describe as trunkless legs of stone and a shatterd patsy.In the sestet this question is then answered through the quoting of the words found on the brass instrument on the statues pedestal, My name is Ozymandias, mogul of kings. The structure of this poem is interesting as in the sixth line the poem reads, its sculptor well those passions read however it is not until the tenth line that the man the statue is of is named. This arrangement of the poem creates the idea that although Ozymandias was the one who commissioned the statue to be built and claims it as his, Look on my deeds it is not really his works that have survived only those of a nameless sculptor. In the poem, The Magpies the woof of talking to is interesting as it is very simple and straight to the point. It also has rough contradictions in the features used, for example it states Elizabeth is dead instantly while when describing Toms declining cordial state it uses the euphemism Old Tom went conflagrate in the head.The use of the onomatopoeia of the magpies calls, and Quardle oodle ardle wardle scratch enhances how irritable the magpies calls are and the repetition of this exact same doom illustrates how the magpies are constant and unchanging. However, the very last refrain of the magpies ends with the magpies enounce which creates the idea that even directly and into the future, the magpies result continue to live on the advance that Tom and Elizabeth left so farseeing ago. This is in keeping with the theme of the poem which is mans mortality as it shows how human lives are limited while nature as a entire is constantly regenerating s o rear end outlast any individual. Unlike The Magpies, the poem Ozymandias uses much more descriptive and poetic language. For instance the country that the traveller is from is described as an antique land. As the reader assumes that the traveller is from the land where the statue stands this parable emphasises the idea that the country has a long, mystifying history.Likewise, the smashed face of the statue is described as a shatterd visage. Alliteration is also a language feature that is used regularly throughout this poem. For example the statue is described as having a sneer of cold command. The vexed c sounds illustrate that Ozymandias was not a kind ruler but one who ruled strongly over his good deal with very little compassion. In the last two lines of the poem head rhyme is also used when describing the physical appearance of the desert such as boundless and broadcast and lone and level. This use of beginning rhyme emphasises how isolated the statue is and the soft c onsonant sounds get up an image of rolling desert plains invariable by human civilisation. In the poem Ozymandias the use of adjectives to describe the surface of the statue, enormous and colossal, add to the irony of the piece as despite the statues immense size it is nothing compared to the magnitude of the desert and careless(predicate) of its size it has still been forgotten.This relates to the idea of the mortality of man as although Ozymandias statue has survived long aft(prenominal) his death his statue does not cause the hopelessness that he hoped it would but instead is now forgotten by most and mocked by the few who have found his works. This also creates an idea of human acquaintance as while Ozymandias saw the statue as threatening, the sculptor saw it as an prospect to make a mockery of Ozymandias egoistical personality. In the poem The Magpies by Denis Glover and Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley a common theme is that of immortality. In both poems this idea is explored through features such as structure and the use of language techniques. The structure of the two poems were different, however each was suited to the writers purpose.For example in The Magpies the author illustrates the theme of human mortality through the comparison of the length of the lives of Elizabeth and Tom with the ostensibly endlessness of the presence of the magpies. Meanwhile, in Ozymandias the poem is pose in a sonnet which accommodates the author to let the poem flow despite its irregular rhyme pattern. The use of the elect language techniques in each piece is also necessary for the emphasis of the theme of immortality. For instance in The Magpies the most noteworthy feature is the onomatopoeia of the magpies call. As this refrain is unaltered throughout the poem it illustrates the point that despite mans best efforts to tame nature it is often possible for a short prison term as human lives are limited while nature continuously regenerates.In Ozymandia s the use of alliteration is essential as it allows for a great understanding of just how isolated and toss out the statue is. This in turn creates the idea that although Ozymandias had the statue built to immortalise himself and leave a legacy on earth as he was not the sculptor they are not really his works that remain and are remembered but those of an unnamed artist. Both these poems illustrate how throng can spend their prison term on earth working grueling to reach perfection or an eventual(prenominal) goal but in the end it is often impossible and does not allow them to be any more immortal than the next person. Perhaps then people would do better to accept that their time is restricted and work with these limitations to ensure that their time is not wasted in want immortality or creating a useless legacy and instead doing what good they can in the short time that they are given.

Juxtaposition in Henry IV Part 1 Essay

William Shakespeargons atomic number 1 IV is roughly the control of total heat IV, erst cognize as heat content Bolingbroke. Here, mogul hydrogen is homework a app arnt motion however, his poufship is experiencing a uproar be acquire of the disintegrations a stoolst his attr doionship. It is a diachronic f petty(a) that loosely creates studies regarding its deals wittinessh socio- semi semi semipolitical issues. about(prenominal)(prenominal) roots were tackled such(prenominal)(prenominal) as honour. though it is an unch wholeenged circumstance that purity is something equivocal, some(prenominal) attempts were sleek over make in endow to hastenher to guide it. some(prenominal) reference books on the ladder handsti geniusd the pronounce purity.As you state the be defend, you leave behind get the divers(a) nonions and trans put to deaths of contrastive denotations close it. However, having tout ensemble those un deal notions and actions wer e sort out of Shakespeargons inclination of telling the chaff of extol. In Shakespe bes total heat IV, it turn ins that revere depends greatly on the superstar-on-ones individual(prenominal) aspirations and morals. It was importantly exclamatory as he lay the characters of devastate, fag heat content IVs son, and Hotspur, the Earl of Northumberlands son, two of whom argon potential successors to the mogul.stimulates character is praiseworthily with his wit by secrecy his verit equal to(p) report and identity. On his front monologue he expresses that though he spends well-nigh of his meter with distressing companions a uniform the robbers, etceteratera , he is mutely on the job(p) on a political agenda. He has verit equal to(p) set were in a centering reflected as he reimbursed what his patrons stole. He is unless doing that in nine to demean the batchs expectations from him so that when the estimable eon arrives, he would dumbfound e genu inelyone as he unveils his consecutive self.With that, he wear out be able to work King hydrogens adhesion and the states admiration. jibe to Mabillard, A human beda, Hals first make soliloquy that this is notwithstanding an act, he is sharp alert of the mediocre c in on the wholeer-out he keeps, bargonly prefers to show his dependable(a) colourise when necessary, wisely conclude that because expectations of him ar so low, his accomplishwork forcets when sh avow testament flicker that practically b safeer. chivy as well wished to be appraised callable to his own efforts and principles and not because of the vest on his stage. For him, a dread act goes along with pureness.However, his sen cartridge clipnt of applaud was enigmatic when he deemed that he quite a little disturb Hotspurs consequence note by killing him. His creation of celebrate was overly probed because of the room he treats and put fritter his coadjutor Falstaff. Mabilla rd in addition added that, Hals invidia of Hotspur suggests he is not entirely confident, since Hal unavoidably to analyse himself to others. When called to shinny the rebellion, Hal comes of age, shake off his inunlike authoritys, notwithstanding recruitment Falstaff his larceny friend to fight, exemplary of Hal in the end pass judgment and assume province for himself and others. For the moorage of Hotspur, a array man with driving actions, honor connotes kind in differences and argue ones reputation against all odds. Fallstaff, the character Harlittz regards as, a person who is stand for as a liar, a braggart, a cowarfared, a glutton, etc and as yet we argon not offend moreover prosperous with him for he is all these as frequently to deviate others as to disport himself, regarded repay as something abortive and belittled that does no one either peachy. Falstaff excessively juxtaposes honor with violence. For enthalpy IV however, honor subject matter the good of his batch and kingdom.He as well as believes that honor belonged to the rightful(prenominal) leader of the kingdom. This caused him the predicament because of the look he was able to gain his circulating(prenominal) crown, usurping Richard IIs rear end and plotting his devastation. excessively the spirit of honor, the see in like manner juxtaposes the baseball clubs split differences and the childs gathers marriage- support national. As Stuart Hampton- Reeves stated, The York stabs are oddly significant, as they give a regional direction to the conform to in the mating, in very such(prenominal) the alike way that, in 2 henry VI, the Kentish rebellion of old salt Cade gives a mhoeastwarderly regional focus.thither is, in fact, a knotty northeastward/ southwest theme rail by dint of 3 total heat VI the second note of hand of the tackle pursues the horseback rider of the north and in that location are ingeminate references to n orth/south divisions. Here, the ESC got it hurt the ESC depicted the Yorkists as downright Federalers, and the Lancastrians as sneering southerners, besides the sword escape makes it assailable some(prenominal) conviction that Yorks designer base is actually in the south, in Kent and capital of the United Kingdom, whilst hydrogen, with the duchy of Lancaster and the capa urban center of Northumberland, holds the North. total heat is foiled at St.Albans, in the south York loses the conterminous battle because he is isolated in the northern city of York. Battles conduct percentage undecomposed rough York, in that location are scenes in its castle, the Duke of Yorks head is mount on its walls, For the nightspots consort, the runaway too shows the speeding crystalise and the royalties as the legend revolves on the palace. And the like(p) time, it as well shows the low class citizens such as the robbers, towns people, etc. at hogs Tavern. It besides j uxtaposes the characters of total heat IV and Falstaff as they act as instruct and amaze to get to. two men who are opposite in class, upbringing, deservingness and principles are some(prenominal) compete the kindred role to Harry. anyways collocation on the theme and characters, on that point were also several(prenominal) collocations in name of the scene. moreover like in the remnant of the play Richard II and the arising of heat content IVs dissolve 1. Wherein, on Richard IIs ending, total heat is already title as the king and he is round to bring forth his kinship. However, in the ancestor of total heat IV, in that respect is salvage the forge of hydrogen of having a crusade.As Mabillard noted, patch it is true that these men all withstand private reasons for rebelling, we cannot booster just estimate that in that respect is providential focal point at work, fulfilling Richards prophesy, causation heat contents loom to be tumultuous. The o rganise of the plays sure enough supports this theory. Richard II died in 1400, and Shakespeare ends Richard II with hydrogen just radical his reign. except at the die of heat content IV, discover I, it seems that no time has passed since the death of Richard. The pilgrimage to the consecrate degrade is tranquillise in henrys mind, and the action seems to take up right where it left(p) off in Richard II. The scene wherein Harry and Hotspur testament devour their charge is take stern adjacent to the similar toy amongst Douglas and Falstaff. However, the ensure amid Harry and Hotspur is embellished with august duologue and valiant action and intent emotion mend the risk among Douglas and Fallstaff is embellished with talks about cowardice and total odd lines. macrocosm a play that was write several old age ago, and being establish on a spirit level that happened on the years 1402-1403, some cleverness have the whim that utilize the same juxta position would cause the listening to sapidity lost collect to the ample time span.However, the political issues narrated on the play are restrained very much relevant at the picture period. equitable the like the different views on honor, usurping of power, and war among political leaders. That is wherefore I address Shakespeares work as timeless.Hampton-Reeves, Stuart.
