- 3542: FACTORS Of SECOND LANGUAGE
- ... Learning a second language, like learning anything, requires varying processes on the part of the learner, and the more modalities that are reached during this learning process the faster the learner will acquire. From my personal experience in trying to learn French, I found that being put in real situations that forced me to speak was the best tool of all for language acquisition. But this is often impractical in the ... by them and this can greatly reduce affective filters that may exist. Additionally, I agree with Collier and Baker that language can be learned at any age and I feel it’s a matter of personal conviction on the part of an older learner to become proficient.

- 3543: Breast Implants
- ... the actress Rhonda Shear of USA's Up All Night contended that although her implants had helped her career, it was not why she elected to have the surgery.

Why is there such a dramatic emphasis on these women who decide to increase their bust line? That question remains known only ...

- ... use the PowerPC chip developed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola. IBM also acquired Footprint software, a banking industry software developer whose programs are sold with OS/2.

- 3545: Bureacracy In Japan
- ... International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Keirietsu/Ziabatsu (or other such interest groups). The LDP's diversion of government funds to dissatisfied groups (i.e. "pork barrel" politics) and the creation of very close personal and financial linkages between government and industry served as the driving force in creating a unique Japanese political economy where business and politics became essentially indistinguishable. Politicians and the bureaucracy were considered to be the ... and other interest groups, large and small play important parts. The LDP has ruled Japan since 1955, and with the bureaucracy at its side, its influence appears to be increasing. Seeing this, a close and personal relationship can be built by a conservative politician with the bureaucrats, and the other interest groups. The LDP acts in coordination and cooperation with the bureaucrats and the business industries in shaping Japan's public ...
- 3546: Socialization
- ... s theory of criminal behavior examined this phenomenon. "The content of what is learned includes specific techniques for committing crimes . . . the process by which the learning takes place involves associations with other people in intimate personal groups" (Vold, et al., 1998:185). In A Theory of Differential Association, Sutherland and Donald Cressey explain the process that they believe brings a person to engage in criminal behavior. Their theory includes nine points ... some of the points are as follows: "2. Criminal behavior is learned in interaction with other persons in a process of communication. 3. The principal part of the learning of criminal behavior occurs within intimate personal groups. 8. The process of learning criminal behavior by association with criminal and anti- criminal patterns involves all of the mechanisms that are involved in any other learning" (Sutherland and Cressey, 1960:1,2). In ...
- 3547: The Idiot
- ... he agreed in the end to marry the awful woman, he swore in his heart to reek bitter revenge on her for it and "make her smart" (52). How could she face up against this personal insult to everything she was trying to do? She has been blamed for having an affair against her will, what our modern minds would term child abuse. She has been blamed for Ganya's hatred against her, blamed for "making" him want to marry her. She had nearly allied herself to a man who would most likely think twice about beating her. Nastasya Filippovna has enough personal pride and indignation to not allow Ganya the satisfaction of being able to take such advantage of her, whether she believed to be a "wanton woman" or not. Balancing delicately on the edge of sanity ...
- 3548: Faustus
- ... In acceptance of Mephistophilis, Faustus completely denies society and all that has been handed to him by science and learning. “Marlowe shows that one who rejects his intellectual, social, and spiritual inheritance experiences pain of personal isolation, anxiety, dread, and meaninglessness” (source 5 150). Finally, Faustus turns to magic as his method to improve himself infinitely. Faustus’ decision to become a magician marks the fatal culmination of his attempt to improve ... Or any man that breathes on earth “ (Marlowe 39). Mephistopheles also distracts Faustus from his worry by presenting him with shows such as the seven deadly sins and Helen of Troy. Faustus experiences his own personal hell. To make it tolerable Mephistophilis offers things to delight his mind – to take his mind off it, have a good time, and enjoy life. (Source 10 138). On the other hand, Faustus does not ...

- ... with the intern Monica Lewinsky. America is the only country that would prosecute this kind of thing. Most of the other countries laughed at us, while no politician was laughing.
