- 5441: “Case Study: ‘I Still Do My job, Don’t I?’”
- “Case Study: ‘I Still Do My job, Don’t I?’” This is a sinking ship! The part-time help does not do their job; the assistant manager has broken company policy by dating an employee; there is a conflict of interest with the manager’s landlord/part-timer’s mother, which has a potential of blackmail and the new management team has a general manager who does not lead. Escalating commitments abound here. This passenger has far too much baggage for the duration ...
- 5442: The Life and Accomplishments of John F Kennedy
- ... book became a best-seller. Kennedy graduated cum laude in 1940. He then enrolled in the Stanford University graduate business school, but dropped out six months later.

After learning to command one of the small craft, he was commissioned as an ensign. Shortly after midnight on August 2, 1943, a Japanese destroyer cut Kennedy's PT boat in two. His boat was assigned to patrol duty off the Soloman Islands in the South Pacific. Two of the crew were killed and Kennedy and 10 other men clung all night to ...

- 5443: The Women Of Poe
- A Poe story which fuses the themes of transcendence and lost love is "Ligeia," Poe's own favorite of his tales. The story's narrator marries a woman of exquisite beauty--a woman named Ligeia. To the narrator (and to Poe, naturally), she is the perfect woman, for she possesses classical beauty, expanded intellect, and spiritual purity. He makes ... his wife. The narrator describes at length the strange attributes of his bride--her raven-black, luxuriant hair; her low, musical voice; her ivory skin, lofty forehead; her delicate nose and radiant smile. However, Ligeia's most striking feature are her black, mysterious eyes, which kindled in the narrator an inscrutable sentiment which would not admit of analysis. "In 'Ligeia' it is the lady's eyes which represent, to her ...
- 5444: China's Economy Evolution
- China's Economy Evolution Reform-dubbed China's "Second Revolution" was one of the most common terms in China's political vocabulary in the 1980's. Reform of the Chinese Communist Party and its political activities, reform of government organization, reform of the economy, military reforms, cultural and artistic reforms, indeed, China's post- ...
- 5445: ... Napoleon established a totalitarian government. Soon, the pigs began to get special favours, until finally, they were indistinguishable from humans to the other animals. Immediately the reader can begin to draw parallels between the book's characters and the government in 1917-44 Russia. For example, Old Major, who invented the idea of "animalism," is seen as representing Karl Marx, the creator of communism. Snowball represents Trotsky, a Russian leader after ... towards the end of the story, the term, "absolute power corrupts absolutely," is proven, as the pigs, who retained all the privileges for themselves, have evolved into a different caste from the other animals. Orwell's implication is that "real" communism cannot exist in the countries which claim to be communist. The ruling class - politicians - own everything and ironically are therefore in total control. A Tale of Two Cities is a ... treatment of the poor people of France. In the seventh chapter of book two, the Monsieur the Marquis had accidentally driven his carriage over a young child, killing him. Instead of worrying about the child's welfare, the Monsieur's reaction was to worry about his horses: "One or the other of you is for ever in the way. How do I know what injury you have done to my ...
- 5446: The Writings of David Foster Wallace
- ... for themselves how it will end. An example of this is also in the story “Girl With Curious Hair”: “...Mr. Wonderful was doing something with the bright thing to the man who was the girl’s father” (Wallace 74). Also in his stories, in the structure category, he comes into a situation very abruptly. This makes the reader have to go back and read the story again to make sure that their assumptions were correct. Such as in the story called “Here and There”: “Her photograph tastes bitter to me” (Wallace 151). He also uses basic descriptions and doesn’t go into any depth with his characters, he uses just plain circumstances to build their personalities. For example, from the story “Girl With Curious hair”: “My name is Sick Puppy even though my name is really not” (Wallace 56). Usually readers come away from the story either loving or hating the principal character, but with Wallace, that just isn’t the case. He never seems to use plot in its essence, the paragraphs seem to all be jumbled together into one on-going rant. Such as in the story “Luckily the Accountant Representative Knew ...
- 5447: Ku Klux Klan
- The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is one of America's oldest and most feared groups. Driven by the dream of a world with only one master race, the KKK often uses violence and moves above the law to promote their cause. They didn't start of violent, or to promote white supremacy. They have been in the shadows for over 130 years and continue to thrive in America's society today. The Ku Klux Klan began almost accidentally during the reconstruction period after the civil war in the Southern United States. The southern people had suffered greatly from the effects of the great ...

- 5449: The Battle For Your Mind: Persuasion & Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public
- ... government agencies do not want this information generally known. Nor do the Born- Again Christian movement, cults, and many human-potential trainings. Everything I will relate only exposes the surface of the problem. I don't know how the misuse of these techniques can be stopped. I don't think it is possible to legislate against that which often cannot be detected; and if those who legislate are using these techniques, there is little hope of affecting laws to govern usage. I do know ... or authority figure creates the brain phase to wipe the brain-slate clean, his subjects are wide open. New input, in the form of suggestion, can be substituted for their previous ideas. Because Edwards didn't turn his message positive until the end of the revival, many accepted the negative suggestions and acted, or desired to act, upon them. Charles J. Finney was another Christian revivalist who used the same ...
- 5450: The play "Amadeus" is Mainly Concerned With the Destructive Nature of Jealousy
- The play "Amadeus" is Mainly Concerned With the Destructive Nature of Jealousy This passage is all too true, both in Peter Shaffer's ‘Amadeus' and in life in general. However the play is also concerned with the destructive nature of ignorance and naivety. Salieri is jealous not just of Mozart's talent, but of the fact that God gave the talent to “Mozart … spiteful, sniggering, conceited, infantine Mozart”. He is envious of the vessel of God's laughter at the ‘patron saint of mediocrity' as he had dubbed himself. Not only did God double-cross Salieri, but he did it using this “obscene child”. It was this jealousy and the rage ...
