...BAMBOO FLOWERS Reaction Paper Submitted to: Dr. Carmen Decierdo, PhD Submitted by: Dianne Michelle Daquio “BAMBOO FLOWERS” Written by: Aloy Adlawan Directed by: Maryo de Los Reyes “Bamboo Flowers” presents a three-story script intertwined into one. The film talks about married life and single blessedness life of young and other strangers, about students’ aspirations and ambitions, about sons and daughters of farmers, about tourist guides, cultural workers, children and ordinary people, about tourists who visit the province. “Bamboo Flowers” are literally the chandelier-shaped bamboo leaves/flowers which bloom on the bamboo trees that are in the final stages of death. This paradox is evident in the life in these islands where traditions maybe dying because times do change and because progress has bloomed and new things, outlooks, beliefs and practices have been introduced. Thus, there is erosion of traditions and since, there are new things to look forward to, there are also beliefs and practices that have to be abandoned or left behind. This movie written by Aloy Adlawan is directed by Maryo de Los Reyes as his entry to this year’s Sining Pambansa, All Masters’ Edition National Film Festival. It is his tribute to his roots, particularly to his mother who hails in Alicia, Bohol; to the memories of his childhood visits to this island province; to its rich heritage and traditions; to its lushness and beautiful landscapes, and most especially to its people. The film will also...

...Thus we understand the grandparents’ reason for so staunchly supporting nuclear power: it “now belongs to the modern age like the car or the television” —they literally cannot imagine a West Germany without such comforts (12). This is especially relevant after the disaster at Grafenrheinfeld, which “makes [West Germans] poor,” and thereby provokes a crisis of West German identity (110). Visiting Janna-Berta in a makeshift hospice, her aunt Helga is astonished at the “[u]nbelievable state of things here…and this in the Bundesrepublik” (82). Indeed, her shock registers with another nearby who is quick to reply, “you’re not up to date…now we’re a developing country” (82). Here, Helga is shocked that such poverty can even exist in West Germany, while her counterpart already feels compelled to redefine his nation’s place in the world because of it. This way, Pausewang’s West Germans rally around poverty very much like they do Russianness: to be poor is not to be West German, and therefore to be West German is not to be...

...creature who can offer only love. Figaro suggests Almaviva disguise himself as a drunken soldier billeted to Bartolo's house. Alone in the house, Rosina muses on the voice that has touched her heart and resolves to outwit Bartolo. Figaro joins her, but they leave on hearing footsteps. Bartolo enters with the music master, Don Basilio, who tells him Almaviva is a rival for Rosina's hand and advises slandering the nobleman's reputation. Bartolo agrees, but Figaro overhears them. Warning Rosina that Bartolo plans to marry her himself the very next day, the barber promises to deliver a note she has written to "Lindoro." Rosina, alone with Bartolo, undergoes an interrogation, then listens to his boast that he is far too clever to be tricked. Berta, the housekeeper, answers violent knocking at the door, returning with Almaviva disguised as a drunken soldier in search of lodging. While arguing with Bartolo, Almaviva manages to slip a love letter to Rosina. But when Bartolo demands to see the letter, the girl substitutes a laundry list. Figaro dashes in to warn that their hubbub has attracted a crowd. Police arrive to silence the disturbance. As an officer...

...Market Structures Adam Timothy Rider ECO204: Principles of Microeconomics Evelyn Carlson 10/13/2014 When trying to gain insight into the local economy it is very important to understand the big picture of how the various market structures relate to each other. This can be accomplished by putting together some of the smaller pieces or characteristic of the market structure. These characteristics can be organizational, competitive or a variety of other features that categorize a firm as a specific market structure. Individual market structures can be described as the amount of firms producing identical goods and services. If you can identify the market structure you can often identify how they firms within the structure are going to price their products in the industry. The market structure will have an effect on the supply and demand of the different commodities in the market. The market structure will also influence barriers for entry and exit in the industry. In order to understand these structures in an economic community you must obtain an understanding of how they all work together to form the economic community. By the end of this report you will possess the necessary knowledge to understand the market structures in the micro economy. Before we begin to the inevitable breakdown of the individual market structures it is important to identify some of the key features of market structure in general. First it would be important to look at the...

...imagine, someone got lost on their way to a friend’s house, but they do not have a paper map with them. This person only needs his or her smartphone and a cell signal to find where they are and how to get to the friend’s house. It would also be difficult to find a professional workplace of any kind that does not use computers. The use of computers in the workplace allows for increased efficiency by improving candidate screening and speeding up the work flow process with less human error (Ramey). Some people even depend on technology in the workplace to stay organized. Mr. Berta, a computer teacher at the Hazleton Area Academy of Sciences, claims that, without technology, he would lose almost any important document for his classes. The levels upon levels of filing within technology allow him to stay organized. “Technology gives people who are generally unorganized a sense of organization and security” (Berta). Mr. Berta is just one person in a world of people who use technology to give them an edge in the workplace. Technology has become an integral part of both society and the workplace that can never be...

...that it will challenging for the "little fella" to take on big business without these scientific expert reports, especially now that "you can’t even say to the experts, ‘You produce this report and if we get a costs order, you’ll get paid,'" says Hardie. The lawyer fears that this will further marginalize aboriginal Australians with a legitimate case from pursuing legal recourse. If they don't have the funds to pay thousands for expert reports, how can they validate their concerns. And in true David versus Goliath fashion, big mining does have the means "to make life tough for" anyone that stands in their way.

...Sancho Panza en Don Quijote de la Mancha Sancho es un simple campesino que sigue a don Quijote por codicia, curiosidad y o simple lealtad. Sancho es el único personaje de la novela que existe tanto dentro como fuera del mundo loco de don Quijote. Muchos personajes dentro de la novela juegan y explotan la locura de don Quijote, pero Sancho a menudo vive en ella, y a veces queda atrapado en la locura por completo, como sucede en la aventura de los cueros de vino tinto. El narrador afirma la influencia de la locura de don Quijote en Sancho en esta aventura así: “Dorotea consoló a Sancho, el cual aseguro a la princesa que él había visto la cabeza del gigante por el suelo y que si no aparecía, era porque todo lo que pasaba en aquella casa era cosa de encantamiento, como él lo había probado otra vez que había estado en ella.” (Primera parte, 103) Los personajes principales de esta novela son don Quijote y Sancho Panza. El primero es un loco, y su locura es la base de esta extraordinaria novela que inicia cuando aquella se manifiesta y acaba cuando el protagonista recobra la razón. El personaje de Sancho es de vital importancia ya que vemos que las conversaciones entre don Quijote y Sancho son lo que mas nos atrae de la novela. Durante la novela encontramos varios contrastes entre los dos personajes, y como lectora y crítica de tal, las veo de la siguiente manera. A menudo leemos que Sancho aparece como la persona encargada de hacerle ver a don Quijote que sus fantasías no son...

...Literary Review of “Hedda Gabler” Karyn Bentley Galen College of Nursing Literary Review of “Hedda Gabler” Never, able to find true happiness, Hedda settled for what society deemed she should; a wife, the perfect host, and soon to be mother. The only true happiness Hedda enjoyed was causing unhappiness for others as she manipulated others into sharing their secrets. Not even Hedda was immune to her games as she desperately tried to amuse herself by creating chaos for others. Hedda’s fear of scandal ended in what she described as beautiful but others found insignificant. Major Themes The first major theme is one of individual versus the group or society, Hedda is constantly trying to manipulate to obtain some type of happiness. Ibsen takes great care to reveal Hedda’s manipulative behavior is the result of her desire to have some power over her life and she can only do that by trying to gain power over others in “the group”. Ibsen reveals to the reader, Hedda is nothing more than a victim to the pressures of society placed on women in Norway in 1890. Hedda marries a man who she does not love, simply because she was running out of time according to society’s clock. The reader is left unsure for quite a while if Hedda is pregnant or not but Hedda will have children not because she desires to be a mother but because she is supposed to. Self-Liberation versus Self Renunciation is another major theme Ibsen exhibits out of Hedda’s belief that the only or ultimate...

...Competition, Oligopoly and Monopoly. The first market structure that we will discuss is perfect competition. Perfect competition is a theory that is composed of six assumptions that if a market meets all six assumptions, then the market can be considered as a perfectly competitive environment and no individual or company has power to manipulate the market in their favor or increase the price of the item or service. “Perfect competition, neutralizes these strategic behaviors and conflictual interactions, resulting in the elimination of these distributions conflicts…perfect competition (associated with constant returns) dissolves these conflicts of appropriation since every individual can be paid according to his marginal contribution” (Berta, Julien, Tricou, 2012, Pg. 7). The first assumption in a perfect competition is that there is a large number of sellers/producers that saturate the market resulting in no single seller having the ability to affect the price in the industry. The second is that there is a large number of consumers/buyers allowing the market to be safe...

They are doing two-third of work of the total work in the world but received only one-tenth of the world’s total income. Nearly two-third of the women is...

...Conflict, Decision Making, and Structure Paul McKenzie Strayer University Leadership and Organizational Behavior Bus 520 Dr. Keith W. Langner December 20, 2012 Conflict, Decision Making, and Structure From the inception of time, the human race has been experiencing and grappling with conflicts of all kinds—both internally and externally. In most recent years, however, conflicts in the workplace have become more prevalent due to diverse cultures, organizational structures, and workplace dynamics such as stress, discrimination, cultural difference, idiosyncrasy, pay inequality, grievance and dispute, and others. These prevailing conditions have and are affecting organizations of all sizes. As a result, many companies are forced to implement guidelines and strategies so as to mediate, mitigate, manage, reconcile, and resolve such existing conditions in a more effectively manner, while creating better-working environments. Having said that, this paper intends to objectively address four given scenarios surrounding conflict, decision making, and organizational design. Those scenarios will be addressed in the following sequence: (1) negotiation strategies used to address potential conflicts in the workplace, (2) evidence-based management and its relevant application, (3) analysis regarding effective methods and creative-decision making, (4) and environmental and strategic factors that affect the organizational design of a researched company. Negotiation...

...non-action against their leader’s regime. A foremost idea voiced in this editorial is the wide-spread corruption surrounding Hernández’s regime. Initially, Carrillo states the problems with Hernández’s rule: “The list is long: widely documented corruption, illegal changes to the constitution, documented ties to drug traffickers, attacks on a free press, criminalization of peaceful protests, repeated violations of human rights by security forces, one of the highest crime rates in the world, manipulation of homicide statistics that affect Honduras’s access to United States aid and a permissive attitude toward political assassinations.” After that section, Carrillo includes that one of the victims of the assassinations was his own aunt, Berta Caceres. Every part is an appeal towards pathos, as it spurs a response of outrage, disappointment, and pity from the reader. Thus, it allows Carrillo’s message about Hernández’s regime to stick further in the reader’s minds, perhaps encouraging their own opinions against him. Still, none of these issues should be overlooked, as they attack key principles of society and individual freedoms. Moreover, another way Carrillo shows how corrupt this election and regime is to him is through his explanation of the votes and protests. “The electoral commission, composed predominantly of supporters of Mr. Hernández, suspended announcements about the count for serval hours. When its updates resumed, the president was in the lead, setting off deep suspicions...
