...The presence of archetypes is an essential element of the quest storyline, both in American and foreign literature. Pioneers of the archetype concept include scholars Joseph Campbell, Christopher Vogler, and Carl Jung, whose notions of archetypal literature developed into what most academics accept as the characteristic blueprint for a quest story today. Though these archetypes were first described just over a hundred years ago, they have persisted throughout literary and visual art for millennia. The most important archetype that Vogler describes in his Memo That Started It All is The Hero. He describes Hero characters as the central figures of stories that often make influential accomplishments on behalf of their respective civilizations...

...anti-hero according to “The Anti-hero in Modernist Fiction”, “Weak, ineffectual, pale, humiliated, self-doubting, inept, occasionally abject characters — often afflicted with self-conscious and paralyzing irony, yet at times capable of unexpected resilience and fortitude”(Neimneh 78). The resilience shown by Winston keeps the reader rooting for him even when he is captured for his thought crime. This hope, further developed as Winston defies O’Brien as he is being tortured, is short lived when the reader is awakened to Winston’s failure in the end. According to Tim Adams, educator from TED Ed, “All too often though the anti-hero is killed or brainwashed to return to conformity with the masses”(TED Ed). In accordance with the anti-hero archetype, Winston is brainwashed and later killed. When Winston is caught for his thought crime, he is taken to the Ministry of Love, where he is tortured and brainwashed back into conformity. Orwell writes, “But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother” (Winston 298). The brainwashing of Winston is a powerful statement created by Orwell to warn the reader of how the Party abuses their power to control the minds of the civilians. In an excerpt of an article from Magill’s Survey of World Literature it...

...Star-crossed lovers is a phrase for the archetype of couples who are tragically separated by their socio-economic status, faith, culture, or family despite true love. The idea is that these relationships are already doomed from the start. Couple’s true instinct and love is pit against societal rules. The phrase “star-crossed lovers” was first coined by famous playwright William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life.” (Shakespeare 1-6). However, Shakespeare is far from the only author with this concept. This same archetype is found in many traditional stories from all over the world and is still widespread in today’s culture. We feel for these characters,...

...SYMBOLS, ARCHETYPES & MOTIFS Symbols Three categories: Archetypal – The first symbols of humankind that have replicated themselves in stories throughout the ages across all cultures. They appear in the stories of groups from cavemen to 21st century authors. The term “archetype” was coined by Karl Jung who used them as the basis of “collective unconscious” theory. Cultural – As cultural groups use archetypal symbols to represent their values, fears, beliefs, and expectations, these objects take on meaning specific to that group. For example, the cross is an ancient archetypal symbol. When cultural groups adopt it, the meanings become both universal and specific. For most cultures the cross holds spiritual significance; hence its archetypal meaning. For Christians the cross takes on specific representation of Christ’s crucifixion. Nuance – These objects take on symbolic meaning in the work in which they appear. Modern writers often create their own symbols by repeatedly using the object in meaningful ways. For example, Golding used the conch shell to represent order and governmental control.

...Personality Overview Theories of personality are truly amazing as each theorist speculates from his or her own point of view. All theories are a reflection of their author’s personal background, childhood experiences, interpersonal relationships, philosophy of life and the way they look at the world (feist & feist, 2009). In the following document strengths and limitations will be discussed in relation to underlying assumptions, deterministic versus free will, and awareness of self through conscious and unconscious motives for behavior. The psychoanalytic theory presented by Sigmund Freud paved the way for future psychoanalysts to add their own theories. According to McLeod (2007) Psychodynamic approach assumptions include our feelings that are powerfully affected by unconscious motives. Our behavior and feelings as adults are rooted in our childhood experiences and all behavior has a cause, even slips of the tongue. Therefore all behavior is determined. Personality is made up of three parts and behavior is motivated by two instinctual drives. Parts of the unconscious mind are in constant conflict with the conscious part of the mind. According to Berryhill, (2011) one major concept and underlying assumption of Freud’s theory subdivides the human mind into three distinct categories. According to his theory the components of the mind include the conscious, preconscious and the subconscious areas. The conscious mind also includes our current thinking processes, behaviors and...

...Conflict Inevitably, every person will encounter conflict. How a person responds to conflict can determine their success or failure. In addition, A person’s response to conflict will have either a positive or negative impact on the person and the people around them. There are several types of conflict; a few of them are: man versus man, man versus self, and man versus society. One of the several types of conflict is man versus man, which is an external conflict. Man versus man is a conflict that involves two characters or people that have opposing viewpoints, desires, and interests. The two most common character archetypes that are involved in man versus man conflicts are the protagonist and the antagonist. A good example of man versus man conflict can be found in the novel Things Fall Apart, which was written by Chinua Achebe. At the beginning of the novel, it is shown that the protagonist, Okonkwo, defeated a man known as the cat. By reacting to the man versus man conflict and defeating the cat, Okonkwo was able to gain respect and influence within his tribe which was a positive impact on Okonkwo and his future family....

Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines that live off of the humans' body heat and electrochemical energy and who imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents: super-powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion. The telephone call initiated by Morpheus prompts the police to visit Mr. Anderson’s home with the offer of deliverance and the awakening. Morpheus is known to the government as a legendary computer hacker and a terrorist. Morpheus meets up with Mr. Anderson and offers him a choice of a blue pill or a red pill. The choice that is offered will afford Mr. Anderson to either wake up in a world beyond his imagination or to continue to exist in his current state existence. The “real world” * 2.

Extending the Human Resource Architecture: Relational Archetypes and Value Creation Abstract Theories of knowledge-based competition focus on internal resources as the source of value creation. The HR architecture (Lepak & Snell, 1999) brought human resource management directly into this forum by developing a model of human capital allocation and management. We attempt to extend the HR architecture by introducing a framework of relational archetypes—entrepreneurial and cooperative—that are derived from unique combinations of three dimensions (cognitive, structural, and affective) that characterize internal and external relationships of core knowledge employees. Entrepreneurial archetypes facilitate value creation from external partnerships while cooperative archetypes facilitate value creation from internal partnerships...

...an English speaking world? “No speak English,” “No habla Español.” How do you eat, how do you get directions, make friends, succeed in school, or scream for help? In The House on Mango Street, the characters feel suffocated at times from their powerlessness over an alien language. They are lowered into the pit of society. They become prisoners in their dilapidated homes. Unable to properly explain themselves through translation they are often not fully heard. Esperanza believes that to truly master the English language will empower her. To control her destiny she even wants to change her name, “ In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting” (Cisneros, S. The House on Mango Street, 1984), so she sets herself free through her writings. Esperanza’s struggle to define herself envelops her every thought, and her every action. She must expound herself both as a young woman, and as a writer. In the beginning of the novel she is unwilling to accept her heritage, she is eager to control her destiny and in order to do that she must take control of her life. She does this through her strong desire to separate herself from her parents and her younger sister, in order to create her own life. But after much exploration of her sexuality, and then her sexual assault, she decides that it is not necessary to set herself free from her current identity, her heritage, her family or her neighborhood. She eventually chooses her freedom through...

...P1 For this part of my assignment I will be talking about two organisations promotion mix and how they use them. I will select a product from an organisation and explain how this organisation uses promotional strategy to promote their products. Sponsorship Sponsorship is a fee paid to an organization or groups for example sports, arts, entertainment in return for increased awareness. Awareness for that organisation increases because the logo is on display for everyone to see. Unlike advertising, sponsorship cannot communicate specific product attributes because it only shows the logo not the products. While advertising messages are controlled by the advertiser, sponsors do not control the message that is communicated. The business Apple uses sponsorship as a promotional mix. They have done this by sponsoring the American TV show American Idol. In return, Apple’s iPod becomes the official digital music player for American Idol, while the iPhone becomes the shows official handset. By doing this it pr0omotes their products, due to American Idol being a popular TV show millions of people will see Apple’s products. Nike use sponsorship as well, they sponsor popular athletes. These include superstars like Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba and Neymar. Cristiano Ronaldo is a prime example; he makes £14.1million per year from being sponsored by Nike. By sponsoring Ronaldo their logo will appear on what he wears. When he plays a football match, he will wear Nike boots and this...

...One example would be in the article A Tale of Two Addicts: Freud, Halsted and Cocaine by Ira Flatow, who is a science correspondent and award-winning TV journalist. In this article he talks about the overworked, sleep-deprived doctor valiantly saving lives is an archetype that is deeply rooted in the culture of physician training. William Halsted, who was the first chief of surgery at Johns Hopkins in the 1890s and one of the founders of modern medical training, required his residents to be on call 362 days a year, and for almost the next hundred years the attitude of the medical establishment was more or less the same. Not that far into Halsted’s career did they find out that Halsted fueled his manic work ethic with cocaine. The way Halsted first go interested in cocaine was when he read Freud's very famous paper on cocaine. It talked about how you can use cocaine on your patients and this interested Halsted. Sadly like most doctors back then, they uses it on themselves. Halsted read various little case...

...Sophocles' Oedipus is a perfect fit to Aristotle's Ideal Tragic Hero. Oedipus follows all of the rules, with a hamartia, an anagnorisis, and a peripeteia. The audience is introduced to the hamartia, or tragic flaw, of Oedipus early in the play. Oedipus believes he can dodge the oracle given to him at Delphi that he will kill his father and marry his mother. By leaving the city of Corinth and heading to Thebes, Oedipus thinks that he can outsmart the will that the gods have for him. However, the audience knows that one cannot run away from an oracle. The oracle will come true no matter what is done. Therefore, the hamartia of Oedipus is his belief that he can evade his oracle. Oedipus' anagnorisis, recognition, later comes when he is told that it was he who killed the former King Lauis and that he is, in fact, now married to his own mother. The city of Thebes had been searching for King Lauis' murderer in order to drive him out of Thebes to save the city from the plague. With this anagnorisis Oedipus is finally led to his peripeteia, or downfall. First of all, Oedipus is put to shame in front of his entire city because of his incestuous act of marrying his mother. But, more importantly, he realizes that he had not successfully avoided the oracle. In order to try to save himself he blinds himself. If he is not able to see the truth with his own eyes, he should not be able to enjoy the gift of sight. http://personal.monm.edu/ysample/aristotle.htm Oedipus follows ten of the points...

...INTRODUCTION What is an instructional Systems Design model? According to Smith and Ragan (2005), instructional design is the entire process: from the analysis of learning needs and goals, through the development of instructional materials and activities, to the evaluation of all instruction and learning activities. Spector and Muraida (1997) refer to instructional design as a structuring of the learning environment for the purpose of facilitating learning or improving learning effectiveness. Instructional design is the systematic process of translating general principles of learning and instruction into plans for instructional materials and learning (Seels and Glasgow, 1998; Morrison, Ross and Kemp, 2004). Instructional design is the application of theory to create effective instruction (Jonassen, 2001; Reigeluth, 1999). An instructional design framework focuses on the creation of a learning experience that delivers knowledge in a more effective, interactive, and engaging way, and that can be measured, managed and directed for maximum impact (Piskurich, 2000:7). Smith (2001: [online]) states that instructional design focuses on what learners are to know, the information to be provided, while the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (2001) emphasises that instructional design is the process by which an educator determines the best teaching methods for specific learners in a specific context, in the attempt to achieve a specific goal. There are two classes...
