...similarities and differences. Both are from the viewpoint of a young mermaid who wants to know more about the world above her. The mermaid then saves a prince and falls in love with him. In order to be with him, she trades her voice for legs. In the Hans Christian Andersen book, her transition from tail to legs is excruciating while the movie is painless. In the movie, Ariel has to get the prince to kiss her in three days or Ursula, the Sea Witch, will turn her into a polyp. When the Little Mermaid finds out she can get an immortal soul, that is sufficient enough for her to acquire legs, even though she could die in the process. The book ends...

... Jm0300776 When I young, I liked to pretended I was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I hopelessly dreamt of finding my prince charming. I sang and danced to the songs, and loved the thought of the castle in the ocean, or a secret cave with items from shipwrecks. Watching the same story later in life with my own children I can without a doubt say that Ariel could be a role model for not only me but my daughter also in the way she stays true to who she is. Her character is one of open-mindedness, strength and abundant love. Throughout her story, Ariel is faced with opposition and obstacles that force her to define and think about who she is. King Tritan and the rest of the water creatures try to push and mold Ariel into what they feel is "customary." The story of The Little Mermaid is one of Ariel defying the idea of what is right, what is normal, and what is supposed to be. A significant way of social interpellating an individual is by ostracizing the union or marriage between people with noticeable differences. Society praises when the usual path is chosen, whether it is a marriage between woman and man, or the relationship between two people of the same race. The central motif or theme of The Little Mermaid, which appears in many children's stories, is that of two people of different backgrounds overcoming obstacles and falling in love. Ariel, a mermaid, and Eric, a human are blinded to actuality by their love. They do not see each other...

...Epperson appealed the State Supreme Court's reversal to the United States Supreme Court. Eugene R. Warren presented arguments for the appellant, Epperson, and Don Langston, an Assistant Attorney General for Arkansas, argued on behalf of the state of Arkansas. Both Langston and the State Appeal Court focused on the power given to states to set curriculum standards, and did not delve far into the subject of evolutionary theory itself nor to the boundaries between church and state.[5] U.S. Supreme Court found the reasons given in the Arkansas reversal were in error. They went on to say the clear purpose of the Arkansas statute against the teaching of evolution was to protect a particular religious view, and was thus unconstitutional. In a decision written by Justice Abe Fortas, the Court held, The overriding fact is that Arkansas’ law selects from the body of knowledge a particular segment which it proscribes for the sole reason that it is deemed to conflict with a particular religious doctrine; that is, with a particular interpretation of the Book of Genesis by a particular religious group.[6] The Court found that not only was the state prohibited from advancing or protecting a particular religious view, but that, [T]he state has no legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful to them.[6] Justice Hugo Black issued a separate opinion to overturn the Arkansas law, finding the law unconstitutionally "vague" rather than an unconstitutional religious...

...Groupo Ariel: A Project Analysis On June 23, 2008, a Monday morning, Francois Belliard arrived at his office in Groupo Ariel’s corporate headquarters in Toulon, France. The prior week, Belliard had requested additional financial information about an investment proposal from Ariel-Mexicana, a wholly-owned subsidiary that operated a manufacturing facility and a regional sales office in Jalisco, Mexico. The information had arrived late Friday, too late for Belliard to analyze due to the weekend. He sat down this morning to examine the proposal, as it was Belliard’s job to evaluate cross-border projects for Ariel, a global manufacturer of printing and imaging equipment. This type of cross-border proposal was not unusual as Ariel was in the process of expanding its global presence beyond Europe. The Mexican investment proposal called for the purchase and installation of new automated machinery to recycle and refurbish toner and printer cartridges for the local market. Recycling and refurbishment had become a large portion of Ariel’s business in all its markets; both European and foreign. This process and market had burgeoning margins and was proving to be a centerpiece of Ariel’s future growth. Many office product retailers operated formal toner cartridge recycling programs, both for environmental reasons of keeping reusable waste from landfills and demonstrating cost savings to customers over continually buying new OEM product. Writing in a leading trade journal, one industry analyst...

As a woman writer, Plath was always in conflict of her two identity -- a woman as a docile and domestic housewife, mother or daughter and on the other side a writer of independence and free mind. She was forever struggling all her life which she ended at the age of 31. Her suicide, which is often related to her disastrous marriage with English laurel poet Ted Hughes, alongside with her identity as a woman poet drew much public attention right after her death and has remained a contested topic until today. Her poems has been constantly reprinted in the UK and USA as well as in numerous translated versions.

...In December 2003, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon shocked the world when he announce that Israel will disengage from the Palestinians, a Disengagement Plan, primarily from the Gaza Strip. There were several protests that erupted due to this news, as well as a human chain that was created in protest to stop the disengagement. Once it was decided that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) would carry out the evacuation mission, the issue of how this move would occur arose. Major General Dan Harel, head of the Southern Command was in charge of the entire mission. Harel decided to have a roundtable that would decide how this mission was to be executed. Among those that were invited was Lieutenant Colonel Daniel, a chief psychologist of the Southern Command. Daniels leadership proved to be that of someone that is consultative. A consulting leader is one that is concerned about the support dimension, but there is still a high emphasis on the task itself (Kloppenborg, 96). This is demonstrated when Daniel was first given the position and the task. Daniel main focus was first the well-being of that of the people. He gathered the other IDK psychologists, listened to them and their problems, and they all identified how they were going to complete the mission. The importance of listening to the other phycologists was to determine the mental capacity of the evacuators. Daniel also did research on other large evacuations to see what measures were taken during those instances. His research...

Allen Roth, Director of Design & Development, who was stepping up for Harold Whistler (since he would be retiring shortly) wanted to produce a quality product without being rushed into cutting corner or cutting costs. He didn’t want his other projects to suffer as a result of Project Aerial. As a consequence of the conflicting departmental and individual objectives, there is a lack of consistent vision. There is also a lack of leadership and communication due to an unstable executive team. In the start to pursue the project was done haphazardly and hurriedly, without taking the current development projects in to consideration, which because of Ariel, would suffer serious setback in their schedule.
