...Null Hypothesis: the definition of null hypothesis is when there is no significant difference between specified populations and any observed difference being sampling or experimental error. Chi square < less than 0.05: Accept null Hypothesis Chi square > more than 0.05: Reject Null Hypothesis Cross Tab 1(Age and planning to avoid tax) * The Chi square value of 2.375 in comparison to the critical value of 7.81 in the degrees of freedom shows that there is no observable difference. * This is because there is a reliance on the data, whereby we can accept the null hypothesis which signifies a correlation between age and planning to avoid tax. * The majority of people are less likely to avoid tax or less likely admit that they are going to avoid tax. * For example 36 of 57 respondents under the age of 20 have said no to avoid tax. Cross Tab 2 (Gender and voluntary contribution) * The chi square of 9.613 and the critical value of 9.49 in the degrees of freedom shows that… * From looking at the value we would normally assume that there is an observable difference * However as the values are slightly different we shall reject this statement, assuming that there is no observable difference * Although we have recognised that there is a correlation between gender and their beliefs of voluntary contributions to tax; with females being willing to contribute to tax more than males. * An example 4 females in comparison to 1 male...

...As You Like It presents an ideal world, just as The Merchant of Venice did. The Forest of Arden has as much romance, as many delightful lovers, more laughter and Joy. Lamb, Charles and Mary. Like A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, it is built by means of two worlds: the world ruled by Duke Frederick and the world of the Forest of Arden. Lamb, Charles and Mary. The effect is not the "separate but equal" envelope structure of A Midsummer Night Dream, nor the interlocking and necessary alternation of The Merchant of Venice; instead, Frederick's world first seems dominant and then dissolves and disappears into the world of Arden. Lamb, Charles and Mary. Its life seems to be in the play not so much for itself as to help us understand and read its successor. There is a set of contrasts between the two worlds of this play, but the contrasts are describable not in terms of opposition of power, as in A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, but in terms of attitudes of the dominant characters, as in Much Ado About Nothing, and in terms of differences in the settings and of changes in behavior for those characters who are part of both worlds. Lamb, Charles and Mary. These contrasts are easy to describe because Shakespeare points the way clearly, making each world an extreme. Our approach will be to examine the qualities of Frederick's world, then to examine the qualities of Arden, and finally out of this contrast to see how the characters behave in...

...Interpretation ‘AS YOU LIKE IT’ (W.Shakespeare) Act II, Scene 7. William Shakespeare was an English poet, dramatist, considered by many to be the greatest dramatist of all time. ‘All the world’s a stage’ is the phrase that begins a monologue from W.Shakespeare’s ‘As you like it’, spoken by Jaques in Act II, Scene 7. This poem is a master-piece of Shakespeare’s keen observation and fine poetry. In this poem Shakespeare has masterfully described various stages of human life where people are actors playing their roles. At first man appears on this stage as an infant who is helpless and cannot walk, or speak, and is greatly limited in his ability to act with purpose. He must be carried if he goes from one place to another. It means that he is dependent on others. That it’s why he is crying in the nurse’s arms. Then he is seen as a school-boy with a shining morning face walking slowly and unwillingly to school. He doesn’t want to go to school because it makes him to feel unhappy, but on the other hand, it’s the happiest period of human life which is called childhood. You have very few responsibilities. For example, you don’t have to go to work, pay bills, or do the shopping, cooking, or cleaning. This means you have plenty of free time to do whatever you want. Soon a school-boy grows into a young man who is called in W.Shakespeare’s poem as a lover. Love inspires him, he becomes very romantic, but on the other hand, love obsesses him, because he writes a ballad made...

...How does Shakespeare explore one aspect of belonging in the play? “The spirit of my father grow strong in me” In the play As You Like It, by William Shakespeare, Orlando believes that he will grow to be like his father and that he has a relational connection with his father. Shakespeare explores many aspects of belonging and not belonging in relationships with families, couples, genders and social class. He uses a wide range of dramatic and language techniques to explore the relational aspects of belonging. Juxtaposition is used throughout the play to show the difference in relationships. It shows the contrast between Oliver and Orlando’s despising relationship compared with Rosalind and Celia’s loving relationship. For example Celia and Rosalind’s relationship is described as “being ever from their cradles bred together” and “never two ladies loved as they do”. This is a contrast to Oliver calling his brother a “villein” and Oliver controlling his brother “for the which his animals on his dunghills are as much bound to him as I”. Juxtaposition between scenes is also used to explore relationships in As You Like It. “Loves one dearer than the natural bond of sisters”. Emotive language is used to explore how Celia and Rosalind have a very deep relationship. Words such as “loves” and “natural” explore how close they are as cousins and how they are held by one another. “Sweet my coz,” is another example of emotive language. Classical allusion is also used to show...

...As You Like It Summary How It All Goes Down Sir Rowland de Boys has recently died, leaving behind sons Oliver and Orlando. Since Oliver's the eldest son, he's inherited just about everything. This includes the responsibility of making sure his little bro finishes school and continues to live the kind of lifestyle he's become accustomed to as the son of a nobleman. (By the way, this lifestyle looks like a sixteenth-century version of MTV's Teen Cribs.) Oliver, however, treats his little bro like a servant – he refuses to pay for Orlando's education and never gives the kid any spending money. Also, he tells the local court wrestler it would be a good idea to snap Orlando's neck, but Orlando doesn't know about this. Naturally, Orlando is ticked off that Oliver treats him so badly and he's ready to "mutiny" against his older bro. Instead, he channels all of his pent up anger into a wrestling match, where he beats the court wrestler to a bloody pulp. Orlando's wrestling skillz catch the eye of a local girl named Rosalind, who has her own family drama to worry about. (Ros is the daughter of Duke Senior, who used to rule over the French court but was overthrown by his snaky, backstabbing brother, Duke Frederick. Because Rosalind's dad is living in exile in the Forest of Arden, Rosalind has been crashing at the palace with her BFF/cousin, Celia. Did we mention that Celia is the daughter of snaky, backstabbing Duke Frederick? And you thought your family had issues…) Rosalind...

...Through Shakespeare’s deliberate use of language in the form of listing, he is able to create several instances of positive imagery which support this passage as a piece of Pastoral Literature, as well as through spoken verse and prose. Also through Shakespeare’s use of tone, he is able to convey Duke Senior’s positive and optimistic sounding monologue as something that supports the pastoral ideal; that the country life is the ideal life. ‘Find Tongues in trees’ and ‘Sermons in stones’ and ‘Books in the running brooks’ alludes to their being knowledge in the country side; that just because the court life appears to be sophisticated with its rules, regulations and fixation on superficiality doesn’t make it the ideal life. This positive imagery then leads to the idea that the country life contains ‘good in everything’, unlike the court which is presented in this monologue as a toad, ‘ugly and venomous’. However there is mention of the ‘churlish chiding of the winter’s wind’ and the ‘icy fang’ that may deter anyone from the country life, yet Shakespeare rebuttals this with Duke Senior proclaiming that he smiles in the face of this adversity, for these complications are not complex and are plain and simple, as life should ideally be. At the end of Act 1 Scene 3, Rosalind and Celia exclaim “Now we go in content, to liberty and not banishment.” Which is immediately followed by this positive monologue by Duke Senior which wholeheartedly supports the pastoral ideas, that the country...

...Born May 7, 1861, in Calcutta; died there Aug. 7, 1941. Indian writer and public figure. Son of Debendranath Tagore. Tagore studied in Calcutta, where in 1875 he published his first work, and at the University of London. While in England from 1878 to 1880, he continued to write in his native Bengali, the language he was to use in all his works. He also composed songs. A musical drama he wrote during this time, The Genius of Valmiki (1881), combined national Indian melodies with popular Irish tunes. Tagore’s collection of verse Evening Songs (1882) is marked by a preponderance of pantheistic motifs. Three later collections, Morning Songs (1883), Pictures and Songs (1884), and Sharps and Flats (1886), as well as a play, Nature’s Revenge (1884), reflect the author’s youthful optimism. Such optimism mingles with a strong condemnation of tyranny in the poem The Shores of Bibhi (1883) and the historical novel Raja the Sage (1885). Between 1884 and 1911, Tagore served as secretary of Brahmo Samaj, a religious reformative and educational society. Tagore created some of his best short stories in the 1890’s. In the same period he wrote the poem collections Manasi (1890) and The Golden Boat (1893), the poems The Gathering of the Harvest (1896) and The Grains (1899), and a cycle of philosophical plays beginning with Raja and Rani (1899). He also edited a socioliterary periodical, Shadhoda, in which he published most of his literary works, as well as articles on political, social, and literary...

...in the world and a genuine sense of belonging in various avenues. Many individuals find the strongest sense of belonging through relationships, due to the fact that by nature these connections fulfill the human need for social interaction and enrich the lives of the persons involved. Conversely, relationships which do not fit the conventional model of this kind of connection and thus result in negative outcomes for individuals can ultimately lead to a true sense of not belonging and its related notions of isolation and disaffection. Instead, these individuals may attain the same sense that they truly belong outside relationships, though their connections to other ideas such as place and culture, or within themselves. Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Khyenstse Norbu’s Travellers and Magicains are two texts in which an exploration of belonging and its different meanings for individuals ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of the complexity of the concept of belonging and thus that individuals can find a true sense of belonging in a great range of places, not limited to relationships. Relationships by nature embody ideas of a connection on a psychological level between two people which can fulfill other fundamental human needs such as the need for social interaction, and thus can result in the individuals involved attaining a true sense of belonging. When individuals find meaning and purpose in connections with other people, as they often do in relationships, the need...

...the play,as you like it,written by shakespeare during the Elizabethan age,belongs to the literary tradition known as Pastoral which typically involves exits from urban or court life to the world of nature. In the opening scene of this play,we are firstly exposed to the main hero,Orlando who is describing his plight to the servant,Adam. This whole scene deals with the theme of primogeniture that corrupts the brotherly love. Hence,this particular part of the play is important for us as readers to understand to what extent who is loyal and who is not as we are provided with a clear insight on the Elizabethan society during Shakespear’s time. Therefore,it is also crucial to note that shakespeare uses dramatic techniques such as the themes of usurpation and jealousy,the main characters,Orlando and Oliver,pastoral setting of the play and the language in order to mark the significance of this opening scene. in the opening scene,orlando introduces one of the play’s important themes : primogeniture,a policy whereby the eldest son inherits everything. Orlando, being the youngest brother in his family, faces the problem that he has received a meager inheritance as a result of this rule. ‘’..it was upon this fashion bequeathed me by will but a poor….and there begins my sadness.’’ Hence we see that the system of hierarchy was not a fair system as where the elder brother usurps everything for himself. Yet,a stronger aspect that takes over is jealousy. ‘’..for my part he keeps me rustically...
