- 23261: Assumptions And Values (Othell
- ... also uses his wife, Emilia to contribute to his plot. Iago has no real comrades; no person that he meets is not used by him for evilness. Yet, Shakespeare does not have us see Iago’s actions as uncommon. We accept that he is using Roderigo and Emilia, we accept that he will attempt to gain Othello’s trust simply to backstab him. We are made to believe that this is okay, and even to be expected. This demonstrates societies moral value, that it is okay to use people like this, that it ... to gain personal advantage. That it is justifiable to commit horrible sins simply for personal advancement. Iago is used to demonstrate this through his own justification for his plan. Iago simply wants to be Othello’s lieutenant, yet when Cassio was named, Iago decided to act. He formulates an entire plan, simply so that he can be one position higher in society. He sees nothing wrong with tricking Othello, almost ...
- 23262: Third World Concept
- "Discuss Whether The Concept Of The 'Third World' Still Has Any Validity". Assignment. Essay A: Firstly, in order to address this title, the term 'Third World' must first be defined in terms of it's origin and meaning. The industrial revolution in the nineteenth century led to Western-Europe and the United States becoming increasingly technological, industrialised and urbanised. This brought rise to the concept of a divided world; those ... developed countries this process should be encouraged. Since then terminology has altered from descriptions such as 'backward' to 'Underdeveloped' to the present use of the phrase LEDC (Less Economically Developed Country). The group of LEDC's in question have been also referred to as the 'South', from the commonly referred to Brandt Report (1980), or the Report of the Independent Commission on International Development Issues. This report stated that the 'rich ... divide used in the Brandt Report will not be used, instead the use of the phrase 'Third World' will be used in its place. The phrase originally derives from France ('Tiers Monde') in the 1950's to describe the peasantry (the 'Third Estate') in pre-Revolutionary 1789 France. By the end of the 1960's however this concept was used to help describe the division of the worlds three main ...
- 23263: Thoreau as a Prophet
- ... experiences that he has encountered. Thoreau also explains that the four necessities in life are food, shelter, clothing, and fuel. Thoreau was a prophet of the twentieth-century regarding the issue of materialism. In Thoreau's days there were people who lived in luxury and people that lived with just the essentials of life as he did. Men of those days worked hard for everything they had and did not find it necessary to indulge in such luxuries as men do today. “When a man is warmed by the several modes which I have described, what does he want next?” (Thoreau 1496). In today's society, most everyone has the necessities of life, but chooses to indulge in the luxuries of life. In America today, most all families have more than one car, own multiple numbers of televisions, and have ... and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” (John 4:25). Perhaps Thoreau was alluding to Christ's teachings in this passage of scripture. Christ does not care what possessions we have, only that we worship Him in spirit and truth. In conclusion, today's society has placed its focus on the ...
- 23264: Alexander The Great
- ... his accomplishment could never have been so great if he was not as intelligent as he was, both as a military leader as well as a political leader. "We can see that it was Alexander's leadership and training which made the Macedonians incomparable in war and in administration and enabled them as rulers of the so-called Hellenistic kingdoms to control the greater part of the civilised world for a ... twenty and he died when he was thirty-three; he had a thirteen year reign. For at least the last three years, he maintained a supranational community. There were many different people together under Alexander's rule fully capable of living in peace and developing partnership. This was a great accomplishment, especially when you compare it to the modern world. Alexander took most of Europe and placed it under an umbrella. The closest thing in modern times would be the United Nations. This is an organisation comprised only of representatives from the nations of the world. The UN's duty is to maintain peace among nations, but that is impossible. There is constantly dispute among the different countries. Alexander was not only able to maintain peace among the various peoples, but he was ...
- 23265: Psychology - Classical Conditioning Vs. Operant Conditioning
- ... that they both produce basic phenomena. One such phenomenon is acquisition. Both types of conditioning result in the inheritance of a behavior. One of the most famous of experiments that illustrates classical conditioning is Pavlov's Dogs. In this experiment, Pavlov sat behind a one-way mirror and controlled the presentation of a bell. The bell was the conditioned stimulus. A conditioned stimulus was an originally neutral stimulus that could eventually ... food was the unconditioned stimulus. This means that the food caused an uncontrollable response whenever it was presented alone. That response would be the salivation of the dog. A tube that was in the dog's mouth then measured the saliva. When the unconditioned stimulus (US) was paired with a conditioned stimulus (CS), it eventually resulted in a conditioned response. Extinction results if there is a decrease in frequency or strength ... withheld, extinction will occur in operant conditioning. Another factor that is involved in conditioning is spontaneous recovery. That is the reappearance of an extinguished response after the passage of time, without further training. If Pavlov's dogs did not hear the bell for a few years, and if when they heard it later they drooled, it would be an example of spontaneous recovery. Something similar occurs with operant conditioning. If ...
- 23266: Sylvia Plath And Lady Lazarus

- 23267: What Were The Main Failings Of The July Monarchy ?
- ... which implied the right of those who had elected him to get rid of him if he did not live up to their expectations. Discontent in all sections of the population had deprived Louis Philippe’s government of many of it’s usual supporters and there was a lack of confidene in the regime which was pursuing what appeared to be a weak foreign policy. The discontent had accelarated and serve to radicalise a campaign for suffrage ... crowds in the streets of the city. The heterogeneity of this government by popular demand was to be a source of the weakness but a certain unity existed as far as the majority of it’s members though politically Republican were socially conservative. Popular pressure nevertheless forced the new government to introduce measures which in the context of the period were radical: universal male suffrage, a reduction of the working ...
- 23268: Martin Luther King - I Have A Dream Speech
- ... what the country could be at its best, in the face of what often was its worst. For example, in December, 1955, days after Montgomery civil rights activist Rosa Parks refused to obey the city's rules mandating segregation on buses, a bus boycott was launched and King was elected as president of the newly formed Montgomery Improvement Association. As the boycott continued through 1956, King gained national prominence as a result of his exceptional oratorical skills and personal courage. Despite attempts to suppress the movement, Montgomery buses were desegregated in December 1956, after the United States Supreme Court declared Alabama's segregation laws unconstitutional. King's leadership took place during the most tumultuous period in America's recent past. Under his guidance, the unfathomable goal of abolishing federal and state-sanctioned segregation and discrimination was accomplished in only a few ...
- 23269: Comparison Of The Illiads Achi
- Two of the main characters in Homer s The Iliad, Achilles and Hector, compare very differently in many ways. Although they were both war heroes, they came from different sides of the battle and fought each other under different beliefs. These two brave ... The reason that Achilles was fighting was to avenge his friend Patroclus death, who was killed by Hector. Hector was not fighting back to authorize the death, but only to defend his and his people s honor. Like this difference, Achilles and Hector also differed in the fact that Achilles was a lot more brutal and cruel than Hector. Achilles had a strong mindset, and could not be won over. He ... this because he did not seem quite as brutal or violent as Achilles, but he was not a sweet, innocent man, either. Hector was also a brutal killer, for he killed Patroclus. The two warrior s strengths and weaknesses differ greatly as well. Achilles weaknesses consisted of friendship that blinded him, extreme brutality, and no forgiveness. Although he won the fight, his attitude eventually brought an end to him. If ...

- ... of importance which he undertook was the defense of Roscius Amerintis, in which he distinguished himself by his courageous defense, of his client, who had been accused of parricide, by Chrysogonus, a favorite of Stilia's. This obliging him, however, according to Plutarch, to leave Rome from Prudential motives, the power of Sulla being at that time paramount, he traveled for two years under pretense of his health. At Athens he ... exile, and five years later held command of the government of Cilicia. He resigned his command, and returned to Italy. With the assassination of Caesar, he hoped to regain political influence, but Antony took Caesar's place, and Cicero favored Octavianus instead. This association proved uncomfortable, and, after several attempts at escape, he was captured and assassinated. His head and hands were cut off, and carried to Rome and displayed at ... state, only three books remaining, and these disfigured by numerous chasms that cannot be supplied. It traces the philosophic principles of jurisprudence to their remotest sources, sets forth a body of laws conformable to Cicero's idea of a well-regulated State, and is supposed to have treated in the books that are lost of the executive power of magistrates and the rights of roman citizens. The treatise De Finibus ...
