...individual’s mind which determines the character of the speaker. For example, when a person is calm and speaks fluently with positive accents, it shows that the speaker is confident and hence, able to attract the attention and convince the listener. Similarly, according to Myska (2014), “How employees interact with an employer’s customer or client base is key to a good reputation and repeat business” (p.6). Non-Verbal Communication It means being able to communicate through facial expressions and body languages. Non-verbal signals allow people to convey information about their emotional state. Facial expressions such as smiling, frowning and blinking and also body movements such as hand gestures, nodding or shaking the head, can have a great impact on the listener and the outcome of the communication. Having eye contact when having conversation is important as it shows respect,...

...Twenty Four - Best Show on TV I. INTRO: 1. Attention: Which CTU agent was executed in season three of "24"? When did the vindictive Nina and Sherry die? How does Jack Bauer return to CTU after being assumed dead at the conclusion of season four? 2. Credibility: I have not missed a single episode of twenty four since its deputed 5 years ago. Tonight the show is on from 8pm-9pm but you better believe that the TIVO is set. 24 revolutionized the after work action/drama genre for me. It deals with contemporary issues, real and more or less plausible terrorist threats, and a real-time hourly format, 24 redefined my expectations for all shows going forward. 3. Thesis: 24 is a great alternative to mindless, dull, and uninteresting television shows that flood the airways today. 24 is sure to grasp your attention away from other shows such as “The Apprentice©”, “Americas Funniest Home Videos©”, and “Gilmore Girls©” that sure the same time slot. II. BODY: 1. NEED STEP: A. There are many shows on television that just don’t catch the attention of the viewers. If any of you are like my uncle you may just watch whatever show the remote takes you too. While this can be entertaining, it does may not satisfy you as much as it could. B. Although “CSPAN©” may teach you politics, “Iron Chef©” may enhance your cooking skills, and “WWE Raw©” may give some that macho soap opera experience; none of these shows will give you the overall satisfaction...

...The Awakening is the story of Edna Pontellier discovering more about herself, and her increasing desire to achieve the ultimate freedom. Kate Chopin uses Edna to illustrate the problems concerning marriage. Chopin’s novel contrasts The Bible’s perspective of how a marriage should appear, yet also compares in the case of the Ratignolle’s marriage. The Ratignolle’s were a family who befriend the Pontellier’s and become foils of one another. When comparing The Bible to the marriages within The Awakening there are several stark contrasts concerning submission, separation, and love; however, there are some comparisons as well. Marriage is mutual respect and submission between two people. In the biblical perspective of marriage, both the husband and wife must “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 5:21). Submission does not mean one party has control of the other. Submission, in a biblical perspective, expresses a mutually beneficial relationship that is dependent on the cooperation of both the man and woman. In The Awakening, Leonce and Edna Pontellier’s marriage lacks mutual submission. Leonce...

...In his roles as doctor and husband, Charles relies more on assumptions than reality. In his Depiction of Charles, Flaubert seeks to critique his inherently trusting nature and willful ignorance. By placing Charles as Emma’s Imaginative foil, Flaubert dismantles the idea that Charles ignorant contentment is something to aspire to, and if one is to have fantasies, it is better to imagine the best life, not the most achievable. Early on in the novel it becomes clear that Charles has few aspirations in life. As a child, it is his mother’s influence that pushes him towards education, and as depicted in the first few pages of the novel, it is made evident that he is the type of person who exists in permanent mediocrity. In these introductory paragraphs...

...Sophia Zheng Baldasaro Advance Senior Seminar December 12th, 2013 The patriarchy in society is very much evident in England during this time period. All those who held positions of power and prestige or were of great significance were typically men. Because of the expectations in society, women, in particular, seem to be overly concerned with this idea of fitting into their perspective molds and conforming to the stereotypical gender roles. In Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, Woolf seems to places emphasis on the lives of a variety woman, portraying the way they fare in their everyday lives. But regardless of social class and backgrounds, through an assortment of different women, Woolf seems to comment on how insignificant or trivial the lives of typical women in this time period. Clarissa is the epitome of a repressed woman who conforms to traditional customs and places her main concerns on rather petty seeming things like physical appearance and parties. Right from the start, Clarissa is seen to place an extreme importance on materialistic. She touches on how she feels like a schoolgirl standing next to the “almost too well dressed always” Hugh (Woolf, 6). Though, ironically, Clarissa actually cares much less for clothing in a fashion sense and is more concerned with appearing high in class, fitting in and appealing to others. She is, to some degree juxtaposed, with Rezia who seems to be genuinely interested in clothing due to the influences of her youth but is portrayed as...

...and have taken the novel too literally. Among these critics, is Chinua Achebe, who wrote “An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness”, and took a stand against Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. He claims that Conrad was a racist and that the novella, which apparently depersonalizes a portion of the human race, should not be considered a great work of art. Achebe adds, “That this simple truth is glossed over in criticisms of his work and is due to the fact that white racism against Africa is such a normal way of thinking that its manifestations go completely unremarked” (Achebe 343). Achebe is mistaken, telling more about his own attitudes than about Conrad’s. He approaches the novel with the aim to learn more about himself and his culture. He should have approached the novel with the aim of learning about others -- about Europeans, not Africans but about racist, uninformed, and overwhelmed European colonists. If he kept this as his goal, he might have learned something about others. By setting such unreasonable expectations from the novel, particularly from a novel that does not even promote itself as meeting those expectations, he interprets the novel with the intent of criticizing it. It seems that Achebe feels strongly against Conrad because of...

...SCOPE OF THE STUDY A. Introduction Organizing a business, needs a thorough investigation and research. A Feasibility study is the most efficient one for it examines and ponders all aspects of the business. Pizza, as we know it today is a bread crust covered with a tomato base and then flavored with other toppings. Most of us think of pizza as an Italian food and most of us are right. The word "pizza" means "pie" and is a derivative of the Roman term "picea". The Italians were also the first to use tomatoes on their pizzas. The real explosion in the popularity of pizza took place in the 1094’s; during WWI U.S. troops stationed in Italy had their first taste of pizza. When they arrive home they brought with them an appreciation for this great tasting food, and the growth of the U.S. pizza consumption began and today pizza is one of the most favorite food of many Filipinos, according to European nutrition research on the eating habits of people with cancer of the mouth, esophagus, throat or colon, showed those who ate pizza at least once a week had less chance of developing cancer. B. Name and Location of the Firm A business name is one of the most essential things to be prepared in starting a business. PIZZAPA came from the words, pizza and pasta which serve as the specialty of our business. Aside from that the reason why we choose that name “PIZZAPA” because it is originated from the word “Pizza pa” (pizza + isa pa = PIZAPA) so that customers would easily recognize what...

...Paradise Lost -John Milton- John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse. Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica (1644)—written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship—is among history's most influential and impassioned defenses of free speech and freedom of the press. William Hayley's 1796 biography called him the "greatest English author," and he remains generally regarded "as one of the preeminent writers in the English language," though critical reception has oscillated in the centuries since his death (often on account of his republicanism). Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as "a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind," though he described Milton's politics as those of an "acrimonious and surly republican". Because of his republicanism, Milton has been the subject of centuries of British partisanship. The phases...

...Tennessee Williams and William Shakespeare are two writers of different times who experienced vastly different events in their lives. Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 and while he was in University, his sister, Rose, had begun suffering from a mental illness. She later underwent a prefrontal lobotomy. We can see that his play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ reflects this experience, perhaps through the character of Blanche who is very frantic and hysterical. William Shakespeare lived through the time of change - England was a proud nation and full of power. This reflects through the male, dominating characters and the way women are submissive such as Hero and Claudio. Beatrice and Benedick, however, contrasts the typical relationship of that time as Beatrice doesn’t necessarily conform to the way a woman should behave, signifying a time of change. In both of these plays, we can see that men dominate and females are usually submissive to them. However, there are exceptions which are clearly shown through Beatrice in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ who has little regard for what is considered proper and is very outspoken and witty and rarely conforms to what is expected of her. This is also shown in ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ through Blanche, who holds herself very high and thinks of herself above men. Both Blanche and Beatrice insult the men around them. It suggests that this is considered normal of both of these different times and as a result, men appear to hold higher power and importance...

...At the Netherfield Ball, Mr. Bingley fancies over Jane causing her to “meet Elizabeth with a smile of such sweet complacency, a glow of such happy expression…Elizabeth instantly read her feelings, and at that moment… everything else gave way before the hope of Jane’s being in the fairest way for happiness” (Austen 72-73). This serves as a challenge to the patriarchal expectation that sisters must compete as competitors for acceptable men, and will ignore sisterly considerations in order to enhance their chances of a securing a marriage for themselves. The relationship of Jane and Elizabeth contradicts this conventional view, illustrating that the solidarity and affection of the sisters trump their desire to succeed in the marriage market. Elizabeth never considers herself to rival Jane and only wishes her sister happiness. Elizabeth’s fierce love and protection over Jane also serve as major reasons for her rejection of Darcy: “Do you think any consideration would tempt me to accept the man, who has been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister?” (Austen 146). Although Elizabeth...

...Crown Cork & Seal in 1989 As many successful companies do, Crown Cork & Seal began with an idea—one that had the potential to improve the world in which we live. In 1891, a machine shop foreman conceptualized a superior method for creating bottle caps, and set about to do so. Crown Cork & Seal was born, and what followed were intermittent periods of triumphant achievements and costly missteps, soaring profits and depressing losses, eventuating in a successful company with rich tradition and history. However, the competitive business environment slows for no one, and the company finds itself constantly reevaluating its strengths, its competitive advantages, and the viability of the industry in which it has built its legacy. Industry Outlook One of Crown Cork & Seal’s foundational questions involves their industry in general—is it an attractive industry in which to compete? Like most industries, there are things that make the metal container industry an advantageous one, and there are elements of the nature of the industry that are troublesome to its members. The low potential for new entrants does provide somewhat of a safeguard against fresh competition; however, the strong buyer power, high threat of substitutes, and intense competition from rivals makes the industry relatively unattractive on several key levels. For potential new entrants, the metal container industry does not seem to be attractive due to the high barriers to entry. Most of all,...

...Clothing and Accessories in Macbeth Of the many plays that William Shakespeare wrote, critics and theatre fanatics alike consider The Tragedy of Macbeth to be his most dark and brooding work. Taking place in eleventh century Scotland, the tragedy follows the main character, Macbeth, and all the unfortunate events that unfold around him. However, despite being the title character, Macbeth and his tragic flaws are what lead to the demise of many other characters in the story. A Scottish nobleman and general at the beginning of the play, he quickly manages to rise to power as the King of Scotland after hesitantly resorting to performing immoral acts, such as killing Duncan, the country’s previous king, to fulfill his ambitions. Ironically, this trait of his is exactly what leads to his death by the end of the play. Macbeth’s false ambitions that arose out of the desire to fulfill the evil witches’ prophecies end up pushing him to commit one murder, which quickly escalates into the slaughter of many residents in Scotland, solely for the sake of securing his rule and power. As one of Shakespeare’s most symbolic and psychological works, there are many motifs that foreshadow and lead to Macbeth’s downfall, such as the type of clothing and accessories that each character adorns. Throughout the play, many characters metaphorically refer to the different titles of Scottish nobility as various apparel. For example, when Macbeth asks Ross, “The Thane of Cawdor lives; why do you dress...
