...Jean-Paul Sartre 1905-1980 Sartre questions the radical determinism and materialism of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the World Wars in Europe, Sartre wonders what is wrong with the world. Looking for an alternative to determinism, Sartre will not hearken back to Christian metaphysics, but take Husserl’s intentionality and Heidegger’s concern for Being. Sartre is an atheistic existential writer that is concern with freedom and responsibility. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1964 but refused it because it appeared to him as a petty bourgeois honor. Most of the characteristics we associate with Existentialism are from Sartre. His analysis of human nature congealed during the years in France of the German occupation. He found the French collaboration and their refusal to take responsibility for wrongdoing abysmal and to join “The Resistance.” Their excuses included: appeals to innocence: “I didn’t start the war;” appeals to impotence: “What could I as one person do;” appeals to the “herd” mentality: Everyone else did it;” appeals to self-preservation: “I was looking out for myself; appeals to emotions: “I was afraid.” Yet these excuses seemed hollow and hypocritical. Thus, his philosophy can be best summarized as “no excuses!” He famously said harshly, “We always get the war we deserve.” In another way, we always get the life we deserve. Against all such excuses, Sartre argued that we are never determined, that we are “absolutely free.” This...

...Literature Search For our project Literature search is one of the key exploratory studies that we conducted, in fact literature search was the very initial study that we began our project with. The website that turned out to be most helpful as far as gathering information of Nestle was concerned was www.nestle.com.pk FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (DEC03-DEC07): FY07 was a good year for NPL as its top line reached a new landmark of PKR 28 billion following an excellent growth of 28% compared to FY06. Primary contribution came from its pillar product categories, milks, baby food and juices. Fresh milk volume grew by 29% over the same period last year; however, this was still not sufficient to meet production requirements for the year. The increasing sales trend (CAGR of 28% during FY03-FY07) is primarily attributed to continued focus on sales and marketing efforts, innovative strategies and a sound distribution network. This robust growth in sales translated into a solid increasing operating profit of Rs 3.53 billion, an increase of 33%. However, this primarily relates to higher fixed cost absorption from inventory that led to lower profitability in FY'06. In addition, efforts in 2007 include a favorable movement in sales mix and rigorous fixed cost control. The literature search helped us in gathering data regarding the competitors. On the web we found out who are the competitors of nestle in its juices line and more precisely in its orange juice. Literature search revealed...

...Carrol Allen Savannah Swinson ENG – 450 Professor Sherwood 28 Jan. 2016 “The Heart of a Child” The plays of William Shakespeare have stood against the test of time. Even today they are used in education, personal leisure and of course entertainment, as they were always meant for. Today, plays like A Midsummer Night’s Dream, have been made into movies. But how well do the actors portray the timeless characters in Shakespeare’s world? Can modern day actors do Shakespearean characters justice in their portrayal? In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Puck is one of the most significant characters. In the 1999 film adaptation the character of Puck is played by actor, Stanley Tucci. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Puck, also known as Robin Goodfellow is the mischievous sprite who serves Oberon, the Fairy King. He spends his days playing annoying tricks on people or helps them out with their chores. In the play, Puck brags about when he has been a nuisance to women in the village, “Sometimes for three-foot stool mistaketh me/Then slip I from her bum. Down topple she” (Shakespeare 2.1 52-53 857) more than anything else, Puck enjoys a good practical joke. After he changes Bottom’s head into the head of an ass, he delightedly proclaims, "My mistress with a monster is in love" (Shakespeare 3.2 6 870). Puck can be considered the heart and soul of the play because of his playful spirit, enthusiasm and disposition to prank anyone. His sense of humor and the tricks he plays infuse A Midsummer...

...mysterious female. After the Museum of Modern Art purchased the piece, Wyeth was immediately recognized as a notable American Artist, jump-starting his career in the art world. Along with his rise to prominence, Christina’s World was the first introduction to the “evolution of his own private language of metaphor.” As positioned in the painting, Wyeth’s first impression of Christina occurred when she was out in the field, where he officially recognized her steadfast ambition. He explained that she "was limited physically but by no means spiritually," inspiring Wyeth to continue his craft structured around the Olson family. The type of art movement depicted in the piece is widely disputed with some referring the painting as being a part of magical realism with its attention to detail, while others consider it to be high modernism with its warped setting and realistic model. With the painting only being of the size 32.25 x 47.75, painted with tempera on gessoed panel, its small size relative to detail is astounding. The painting illustrates an expansive field of dead grass, a rundown farmhouse on the horizon, and an unknown girl laying on the hill. In conjunction with all of these elements, it is obvious that Wyeth is depicting old-fashioned New England, a period which he finds to be satisfactory. The Artist’s method for creating his pieces first consists of pencil sketches and watercolor; Once the idea is solidified, he moves to the canvas, allowing the spectators to sense that the...

...particular liked the aspect of reading stories that were written centuries ago, which has given me some insight into the culture of medieval northern Europe. I have been able to realize the importance that medieval people placed on the ideas of being a knight, courtly love, and King Authur’s court. I believe I know why these works were so popular, it was because works like this allowed individuals of medieval societies to be taken away to a fantasy land where everyone was beautiful and those who acted in the right manner were rewarded for such actions. This fantastic other world was a major contradiction to what life in medieval times was actually like. I have read many articles describing medieval life as being hard, rough, unrelenting, a constant struggle for survival, routinely fighting off invading armies, and those who did live glorious lives were a select few. But when one would read one of these three stories they could visualize King Aurthur’s court which was full of brave knights who had beautiful wives, and one could only hope that somehow he would find himself in this wonderful place and everything would be just fine. This is why these stories were so popular because they could transport the reader from there most likely their miserable life to a place that was far from miserable. Let’s first look at what fighting was going on during the time the time period these Romance poems were written. Urban Figure Holmes in his biography “Chretien de Troyes” estimates that Chretien...

...Expectation of Development in Early Adolescence Amy Whalen Carrington College, Reno Expectation of Development in Early Adolescence Bone fractures are a common occurrence during the childhood years. Children are vulnerable to injury because of the daily activities they perform, the risks they take, and the rate of growth. This can impact the growth and development both physiologically and psychologically for the child. Adolescents can view this type of injury as an impact on their social development and can see their recovery as a slow process that is robbing them of their time with their peers. Although it is crucial to focus on the healing process physiologically for an adolescent, it is also important to ensure the teen is developing appropriately through the psychological stages of life. The developmental stages introduced by Erikson, Freud, Piaget, and Kohlberg help to determine a child’s path into adulthood.
