- ... by the hero's power of action which may be greater than ours, less, or roughly the same." (Theory of Modes, Northrup Frye) Northrup Frye describes the levels of heros and Henry V fills the high mimetic hero almost perfectly. A high mimetic hero is superior to other men but not to his environment. He is a leader. "He has authority, passions, and powers of expression far greater than ours, but what he does is subject both ... breaks free and shows his eminence of power to his soldiers. Not only is this Henry's beginning to turning into a true King, but it is also the beginning of the showing of the high mimetic mode.

- 3174: Is The Mainstream Videogames Media Biased?
- ... on the praises and accolades. For Sega reviews, often the reviewer makes statements on the order of "Well this game is a surprise" or "Too little too late".

To further illustrate the point of this editorial, I will take into account some recent events and ... base of 0 will be equal or exceed the coverage given to current Playstation titles. To put it matter-of-factly, these magazine editors come in with very low expecations for the DC and very high expectations for the PS2.

Transmission is probably prevented by correct use of condoms. Health care workers and patients receiving hemodialysis are ... low and serum HBV DNA concentration is generally low and hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) is not detected. HBeAg is an alternatively processed protein of the pre-core gene that is only synthesized under conditions of high viral replication. In "replicative" infection, the patient usually has a relatively high serum concentration of viral DNA and detectable HBeAg. Patients with chronic hepatitis B and "replicative" infection defined by the presence of detectable HBeAg have a generally worse prognosis and a greater chance of developing ...

However, it has also been deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States (according to the Eighth Amendment)to inflict physical damage on students in a school environment for the purpose of discipline in most circumstances.

- ... ready to believe in these statistics and to abandon the deterrence argument. But they defend the death penalty base on other arguments, relying primarily on the need to protect society from killers who are considered high risks for killing again. Incapacitation is another controversial aspect of the death penalty. Abolitionists say condemning a person to death removes any possibility of rehabilitation. They are confident in the life-sentence presenting the possibility ... say the cost of execution has become increasingly expensive and that life sentence is more economical. A study of the Texas criminal system estimated the cost of appealing capital murder at $2,316,655. This high cost includes $265,640 for the trial; $294,240 for the state appeals; $113,608 for federal appeals (over six years); and $135,875 for death row housing. In contrast, the cost of housing a ... is estimated at $750,000.
