- 351: Metadrama In Shakespeare
- ... repeatedly draws attention to theatrical devices and mechanisms and foregrounds the fact that his plays are carefully constructed art. This essay examines the various metadramatic constructions that Shakespeare used to achieve this and examines the effect of these dramatic constructs for the audience. Dramatic constructions were written to be presented and understood in performance. The nature of these constructions lies in how they are assembled. How the words work with and ... audience who may be ten meters away can hear him clearly and yet another person on the stage only three meters away cannot hear a word. The audience accepts this as a known convention. The effect of this is that the audience continues to interpret and actively participate in the metadramatic constructs, and co-operating with the artificiality of the play thereby increasing their involvement and enjoyment in the play as ... not find these lines as outmoded as a current audience might. However it is certain that the style of the lines are in contrast to the style of Hamlet which makes them stand out. The effect of this is to foreground the theatrical for those audience members who knew Shakespeare s and his contemporaries work well, and who would understand the parody. Performers throughout history have parodied one another s ...
- 352: McDonald’s Americanizing Europe
- ... serves beer and Evian mineral water at its French restaurants. And, since the French are fond of Sunday family dinners, McDonald’s has made a big pitch to families, giving gifts to children on Sunday (Greenhouse 15).

In Italy, for instance, in order to make its ... restaurant called “American Chicken & Burger” features versions of American food of the type that its name states (Fells 305). Two French chains with the English names, “Quick” and “Freetime” are strong competitors of McDonald’s (Greenhouse 15). Growth in France is critical to McDonald’s as the fast-food market matures and competition intensifies, not only from other hamburger makers but also from pizza and taco shops. However, it hangs tough ... there is the question of whether the suave, sophisticated country that produced Coco, Chanel, Jean-Paul Sartre and Charles de Gaulle, who rose in popularity each time he thumbed his nose at the United States (Greenhouse 14), will comfortably welcome Ronald McDonald and Happy Meals for children.

- 353: Druigs And Sports
- ... opium and drugs derived from opium, such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. Narcotics also include certain synthetic chemicals that have a morphine-like action, such as methadone.

Drugs are prohibited by athletic departments because they alter your performance. If an athlete uses one of these drugs they can have lasting effect on them sometime during a game or at practice. All drugs are illegal, and by athletes using them they set a bad example. Many younger students look up to the "star" athletes in a school ... caught violating the contract but most of the time they aren't harsh enough.

- 354: Compare And Contrast Of The Od
- ... if the truth is harmful, the general reaction is to deny it until there can be no doubt. To put it very simply, good news is better than bad news. Although already somewhat covered, the effect of Tiresias informing the two main characters and the story as a whole should also be examined in a more specific manner. The effect of Tiresias’ telling Odysseus the truth and guiding is The Odyssey is easy to see. Because of what Odysseus learnt from Tiresias, Odysseus was given hope and managed to return home to Ithaca. In other ... a direct plot motivator. This can be seen in the fact that Oedipus essentially discounts Tiresias’ prophecy, convincing himself that Tiresias is trying to ‘mess’ with him. But what Tiresias told Oedipus did have an effect, although different than what would have been expected, especially since Tiresias was a trusted and respected seer. That effect was the bringing about of suspicion in Oedipus’ mind of whether or not he really ...
- 355: Unemployment
- ... there are more and more young job seekers out there, while the average level of formal education and job expectations of these new entrants to the labour force is very high.

Another cause of employment is that ... more capital-intensive method of production. One example of this introduction is of microcomputer in small business, or the use of robots for automobile production. This will likely reduce the rate of hiring.

- 356: Do Companies Who Bankrupt While Owing Back Pay To Employees Have A Moral Obligation To Pay Out Employees?
- ... whether companies are obligated-but whether management should be expected to have moral culpability. The decision of whether to back-pay shareholders or to pay employees is indeed a dichotomous proposition - it will have the effect of both ameliorating suffering and promoting human flourishing, while at the same time administering a degree of disutility to the other party. Thus, there is an element of utilitarian calculus; how will the decision maker ... no other rule applies, we will appeal to the levels of rules to guide our actions. In this case, our obligation remains with the shareholders, or does it? This may not account for the ill effect upon the employees. However, despite the anonymity of corporate entities, all decisions are made by managers capable of recognizing moral factors. The intent of this paper is to examine through philosophical perspectives how managers justify ... whether companies are obligated-but whether management should be expected to have moral culpability.

- 357: Glass Ceiling in Corporate America
- ... out before a pitch is thrown? Corporate America has shown many and great advancements through the years but barriers still exist.

- 358: The Art of Reasoning
- ... results are being fed back into the process that produced them in such a way as to modify that process itself by altering its content in some way. Results that do not have that immediate effect may, to be sure, have such an effect at a later time. Indeed, it would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of a sophisticated understanding of this for the health of a tradition of inquiry, notwithstanding the fact that it is something hardly ... formal feature of the inquiry process, rather than as a stance taken by the inquirer, is that referential structure in the communicational process regarded logically. Where such communicational practices exist, authentic publication policies are in effect and are working effectively; where there is no attempt at such a coordination there is no objectivity in the field, and the publication practices are more likely to be conducive to chaos than to ...

Each department will enjoy the saving on their contribution to these costs, and the knock-on effect will please the consumer in terms of price. A balance must be found between reducing product prices (increase sales) and increasing profits. Expansion has a similar financial implication as the above. Safeway should constantly ...
