- 24181: Working Mothers
- ... are facing choices that their mothers never had to face. One of these choices is whether or not to go back to work after having a child. This was practically unheard of in the 1950's. In the 1990's it is not whether the mother will or will not go back to work, rather a question of when. When did the choice become set in stone? Why do the mothers of today have to ... and stress will be alleviated for all. Another set back that is constantly facing working mothers is that their work is looked upon as optional, it is also viewed as less important than their partner's. When these attitudes are confronted, it makes the transition for the working mother all the more difficult. The constant backlash from the public makes these mothers feel so guilty that some may even quit ...
- 24182: Great Expectatons
- The statement "Children should be seen and not heard," is an extreme. The statement itself, targets young children as being lesser human being than their elders and having thoughts irrelevant to society. In Dicken's "Great Expectations" it is evident that the adults of that era do not wish to hear anything Pip has to say and become very indignant if he dares to venture a thought on any matter, ask a question or speak out of turn. However, in Mrs. Joe's case, the situation is different. It is not only that children should be "seen and not heard" but adults as well. Mrs. Joe feels that her opinions are the only correct opinions, therefor, allowing neither ... Pip and Joe on an equal level, refusing to hear either one of them, therefor not discriminating against Pip because of age. Although through her own naivete, Mrs. Joe becomes a somewhat fair character Dickens's writes about a dinner party being held at Mrs. Joe's house(chapter 4) where Pip says "I was not allowed to speak"(pg.25) when at a table surrounded by adults. The period ...
- 24183: Great Expectations 3
- ... real premises of which we detect only when we are startled by the conclusions. The plot of Great Expectations is also noticeable as indicating, better than any of his previous stories, the individuality of Dickens's genius. Everybody must have discerned in the action of his mind two diverging tendencies, which in this novel, are harmonized. He possess a singularly wide, clear, and minute power of accurate observation, both of things ... an absence of both directing ideas and disturbing idealizations. Everything drifts to its end, as in real life. In Great Expectations there is shown a power of external observation finer and deeper even than Thackeray's; and yet, owing to the presence of other qualities, the general impression is not one of objective reality. The author palpably uses his observations as materials for his creative faculties to work upon; he does ... which they appear than is usual with Dickens. They all combine to produce the unity of impression which the work leaves on the mind. Individually they will rank among the most original of the author's creations. Magwitch and Joe Gargery, Jaggers and Wemmick, Pip and Herbert, Wopsle, Pumblechook, and "the Aged," Miss Havisham, Estella, and Biddy, are personages which the most assiduous readers of Dickens must pronounce positive additions ...
- 24184: Easter 1916 By William Yeats
- ... and revolts made by the liberty seeking Irish rebels. A horse-hoof slides on the brim, And a horse plashes within it; The long-legged moor-cocks call; Minute by minute they live: The stone’s in the midst of it all (932) Here is an example of events supporting the stone’s cause, in which the overall constancy is maintained. This constant is the underlying strive of the stone to disrupt the stream enough to cause a response that will favor the stone’s well being, that is independence. Indeed the disturbances and splashing caused by the animals represents the actual reality of the revolts in Ireland. First, is the Easter rebellion of 1916 and following World War ...
- 24185: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening: An Analysis
- ... tranquility of the snowfall in the woods. As he watched the fill up the woods he knew that there was no chance of his friend seeing him that day. The easygoing snowfall occupied the speaker's attention even though he had a prior obligation to meet. In the poem, the speaker expressed his thoughts through his horse. An example of this was demonstrated in stanza 5. He was self-conscience about being lost; so his concern may have been why his thoughts were voiced through his horse. Yet, he made no attempt to leave the woods immediately. We learn that the speaker's character is similar to the tone of the poem. For instance, the topic of the poem is about a snowy evening in the woods, which could be viewed as pleasant and easy going as oppose ... his horse) to not see a farmhouse near is evidence of his preference concerning the end of his destination or even an overnight stay at a place with proper provisions. In the end the speaker's struggle to make a decision is made easier because he knows he stills has miles to go and that he would be getting sleepy soon. In conclusion, the speaker's only confrontation was having ...

- 24187: Kosovo History
- ... 500 Kosovar Albanians and forced 400,000 people from their homes. The international community became gravely concerned about the escalating conflict, its humanitarian consequences, and the risk of it spreading to other countries. President Milosevic's disregard for diplomatic efforts aimed at peacefully resolving the crisis and the destabilising role of militant Kosovar Albanianforces was also of concern. On 12 June 1998, the North Atlantic Council, meeting at Defence Minister level ... withdraw forces from Kosovo, cooperate in bringing an end to the violence and facilitate the return of refugees to their homes. At the last moment, following further diplomatic initiatives including visits to Belgrade by NATO's Secretary General Solana, US Envoys Holbrooke and Hill, The Chairman of NATO's Military Committee, General Naumann, and the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Clark, President Milosevic agreed to comply and the air strikes were called off.

- ... their own devices they developed and nurtured a cultural heritage of their own. "Proudly claiming the rights of Englishman, Americans, identified those rights with their own legal and political institutions, which, though similar to England's, retains significant differences especially the absence of a hereditary aristocracy, the greater degree of religious Liberty, and the broader political participation that characterized Colonial life". Initially there were three types of colonies in America: charter ... realize that the colonies were a good source of income for England by means of taxation. Every colony had some type of local representative assembly that gave people a voice in government similar to England's form of representation. But the colonies did not have a voice and England's government they had no representatives in Parliament. This was the beginning of a change in thinking by the colonists. They began having notions of what form of government would best represent all people not ...
- 24189: A Culture Destroyed
- ... in every way. Just like when Rose wrote “My leggings were taken like a rape and shriveled to the size of a stick figure like they had never felt the push of my strong woman’s body walking in the hills”(570). This means that the collectors did not take into account what the woman had been through and all they were interested in how much money they could get for the what ever they took. That’s like the way slaves were stripped of their dignity. What folks did not care how much the slaves suffered from being out in the sun or being separated from their family. All they cared about ... struggles that my forefathers went through to make my days on earth better. Many people take it for granted what their own parents had to go through just for them to have decent life. It’s sad how my people’s accomplishments are only celebrated one moth out of the year when it should be celebrated year round.
- 24190: Fraternities
- ... its members develop social, organizational, and study skills during college, and that teaches true, everlasting friendship. As a matter of fact, fraternities have a long tradition of high academic achievement, and most of our nation's presidents were members of a Greek association. According to Irving Klepper, the first fraternity (Phi Beta Kappa) was founded for "social and literary purposes" at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia on ... called Union Triad which was, in a large measure, the pattern for the American Fraternity system. By the end of the nineteenth century there were over thirty general fraternities in this country (pg. 18). Today's fraternities still have all the characteristics and precepts of the their past fraternities: "the charm and mystery of secrecy, a ritual, oaths of fidelity, a grip, a motto, a badge, a background of high idealism, a strong tie of friendship and comradeship, and urge for sharing its values through nationwide expansion." (Klepper pg. 18) In addition, today's fraternities help their members develop many skills which are used in and out of college. During membership in a fraternity, one must learn leadership skills, because the chapter has to be run in a ...
