- 511: Macbeth: How Money Killed
- ... encounter with the three witches; after which he tells Banquo that he is eager to learn more about his future as king. Shylock's greed is revealed when we learn that unlike Bassanio, Shylock charges interest on all his loans, and that he is quite ruthless in getting payments for money owed. "Three thousand ducats. 'Tis a good round sum./ Tree months from twelve, then let me see, the /rate--" (1.3.112-114). Upon this Bassanio asks Shylock if he will really owe him any interest; Shylock reacts as almost offended, and further explains that Bassanio will indeed owe him interest. For both Macbeth and Shylock, this is the beginning of the end. Macbeth's greed starts to become a problem when people start figuring out the truth behind Duncan's death. Macbeth realizes that ...
- 512: Ethical Issues In U.S. Immigra
- ... U.S. immigration policy takes away our freedom to act as humanitarians (Wilbanks, 1993, p.1). Wilbanks goes on to say that national governments make decisions about refugee admission on the basis of national self-interest and that humanitarianism takes a back seat. Wilbanks feels that the U.S. should view refugees from a religious point of view instead of a pure national interest view. In this way, Wilbanks feels, citizens will not see refugees as strangers or objects for receiving but instead as people made in Gods image with whom to enter into a relationship (Wilbanks, 1993 ...

- 513: Imperialism
- ... bigger push due to competition- the attitude "if i dont get there now and claim it, someone else will" became common. These were sound reasons for each country because they were in the countries' best interest. However, i do not think they imperialism can be justified- especially with their reasoning. I dont think that the desire to improve economy, spread religion, etc. is enough to justify destruction of cultures and killing ... Zulus at Isandalhwana in 1879, and went to war with the Boers in 1899. Keeping India was essential to Britain's survival as an empire. Survival as an empire was another reason for Britain's interest in Africa after 1869. The British economy has always depended heavily on trade, and having colonies was the way to expand trade. Before the 1870's, the British had very little competition in gathering colonies--Germany and Italy were not unified, the French were busy fighting with the Prussians, and the revolutions of 1848 created internal instability in other European countries. They didn't have any interest in external affairs. However, by 1871, Germany and Italy were unified. France had just lost Alsace-Lorraine to the Germans after the Franco-Prussian war, and were being encouraged by the Germans to look ...
- 514: Hemp Around The World
- ... grown for research purposes at the Agricultural Research Laboratory in Braunschweig since 1992. The 1993 publication in Germany of The Rediscovery of the Resource Hemp, Cannabis Marijuana, by Herer, Brockers and Katalyse, helped spark renewed interest in the media and general public. The German Association of Farmers has come out in support of the reintroduction of hemp for cultivation. Meanwhile, many German firms are developing technologies and products based on imported ... for large-scale hemp farming in more than 40 years. In fact, in recent years the Smithsonian Institute in Washington removed tags identifying early-American textile relics in their museum as hemp products. However, increasing interest in environmentally friendly products has created a growing demand for hemp goods. In 1992, there were less than a dozen active hemp importers and manufacturers in the USA; by 1994, more than 200 firms were ... now estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars. Large corporations (such as Adidas and Calvin Klein) are developing exciting new products to be marketed in major department stores. Given the renewed public interest and the fact that supplies are still limited (essentially, all raw and processed materials must be imported), costs are artificially high. Over the next several years, expect to see increased supplies bring prices down. ...
- 515: Compatisome Of Upper And Lower Rock Shores Pools
- ... that Ahnfeltia corralina cant survive prolonged periods of insolation. Green algae is generally thought not to prosper when greatly submerged, as less red and blue light is available, resulting in a decrease in photosynthesis rates, (Begon et al 1986). IN fact, green algae sporelings show much reduced rates of growth, when subjected to low light intensities. Contrastingly, red algae sporelings showed an increase growth rate at low light intensities, (Begon et al 1986). The results reflected this fact to a degree, as, in ... but the overwhelming presence of green and blue algae in the deeper rock pool suggests that, the time the pools are covered by the sea, may be a more important factor when it comes to rates of photosynthesis. It is often the case that fucoids need an already existing layer of green algae present before it can colonise. This is due to the protection the green algae gives the Fucus ...
- 516: Economics
- ... from Marx in it's modern "Socialism" that it cannot long survive. Capitalism had little to recommend it to the worker. He had no hope of ever getting enough cash together to loan it at interest and so retire. By definition that was all that Capitalism was, a system of living on interest by loaning money to more industrious people. As it implies "All take and no active participation" it, of course, is a rather easily destroyed system. It had no vitality. It could only foreclose mortgages and ... a barter system, exchanging toys for toys, an act which was duly chastised as "Capitalistic." The Russian word values are shakey, for to be truly Capitalistic, they would have to have had to develope an interest system of recompense for the loan of the toys, not the barter system. So long as there is a supply and as long as a demand can be generated, some form of goods exchange ...
- 517: Learning to Really Learn: Through Oral communication
- ... is thoroughly disseminated and extended efforts were put forth to build home environments as well as building classroom programs around this knowledge. Then we would have a very effective learning system in all areas of interest. It is from this evidence that I have devised a series of questions to gain insight on how a parent responds to stimuli of what they hear and how she will perceive it. This is ... a dog and then showed another child to take care of a dog the one you showed will do a much better job" The next answers to my questions were greeted with mixed degrees of interest. I asked how important listening is to education. Nonchalantly I was replied "Very." Then I questioned "Does the child needs help in learning to speak? Annette replied, "yes" Everybody does even more nonchalantly. Reminding myself ... be taught the essentials of academic linguistics. The motivation in the parent and society is there to want the younger generation to learn. Ignorance on the part of the parent however does not take the interest towards the areas it needs to go. Like TV, Annette thought that TV is not good for our children and in other aspects of psychology it really is not. Yet in a linguistic perspective ...
- 518: Computer Systems Analyst
- ... analysts have worked out the problems that many computer systems still have. It appears to me that a career choice needs to contain a number of different features.

And finally: Do I enjoy the different activities within this area of interest? From the first day that I started my first computer, I have grasped the concepts quickly and with ease. But the computer as well as I will never stop growing. I have introduced myself ...
- 519: Free Enterprise
- ... a huge web of new routes, and competitive employee wages. In 1980, Congress got rid of rules that encouraged railroads to keep unwanted routes, that forced prices too high to compete with truck and barge rates, or kept prices too low to make a profit. (3) Now railway companies are making deals with shippers at competitive rates allowing, once again, the railroads to be an important part of America. Since the breakup of AT&T in January 1984, almost every element of tele phoning has been open to competition. Numerous firms have been formed boasting low long-distance rates, car phone models, fiber-optic cable, and such. The complexity of customer's bills and other confusing aspects of having so many different companies are predicted to work themselves out with time. It is ...
- 520: Social Reproduction Theory
- ... private school sector, the public schools are based on residence and the teaching norms are based more generally. Thus, youth will succeed their parents through this theory of social reproduction. What influence do the four interest groups play in the quality of education? The four interest groups include: consumers, providers, social science researchers and legal scholars, and policymakers. All of these groups have and contribute an important part in the process of creating and running the educational system, but the question ... This is why it is a necessity that they all work as a team, having the same goals in mind and keeping focused with what is important which are the students themselves. With all four interest groups doing and playing their part in the process of creating quality then the youth can benefit and there will be quality, but without one groups contributions it would all fall through. Why does ...
