...“J. K. Rowling’s world of Harry Potter—a shadow world of wizards, witches, fantastic creatures, and monsters of all sorts, a world superimposed on and coexisting beside English society of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries—has been read in a number of ways, including as social satire, political parable, and moral allegory” (2). It reflects the problems that exist in the real society, which makes it worth more pondering and studying. For example, in the book series Harry Potter, Luna, a good friend of the main character Harry, represents many paranormal proponents in real world to some extent. She never doubts any of her beliefs that inherited from her father, and she becomes extremely defensive when Hermione (another main female character in Harry Potter) denies the existence of the things she has been always convinced. “You are so narrow-minded, you have to have everything shoved under your nose before you……” (308), Luna said to Hermione. This sort of strategy is well known to the community of academics, scientists, and doctors who often are portrayed in popular paranormal apologetics as politically or economically motivated...

...psychologists alike believe that women are more emotional than men: Women are believed to experience and express most emotions more intensely and more frequently than men. (Barrett, Robin, Pietromonaco, & Eyssell, 1998). However an assumption could be formed about how men express emotional behaviors just like women. This research was done using the one topic that segregates men from women that is their choices. When it comes to choosing novels it is assumed in most cases that women prefer thrillers and romantic genre while men prefer more mystery genre but through my research I have come to conclusions with the fact that the novel choices of men are less emotional when compared to women but there are a few cases of exceptions. The purpose of this research paper was to find out whether females still read more emotional centered novels than males using survey techniques. Key Terms: Emotions, Gender, Novels This research was conducted for the purpose of understanding human behaviors and gender stereotypes within those behaviors. Emotions are an important aspect for humans to make judgments and choices (Huebner, Dwyer, & Hauser, 2009) hence my research will be based on the choices we make and whether gender plays a role in it or not. Objectives Primary Objective: * To find out whether there are male students who choose emotional novels as compared to females in Manipal University, Dubai. Also, whether females do not choose to read emotional novels regardless of the...

...RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Topic:- Analysis of bandwagon effect on youth CHAPTER 1 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Statement Objective: To analyze the factors which create a bandwagon effect on youth and study their effects. 1.2 Why this topic? In 1999 a huge craze being described as Potter mania came into existence following the humungous hype created by the harry potter fans. This led to a huge demand for harry potter books, movies and goodies. Millions of fans waited in lines outside the book stores to get their first copies of the books. These people known as the ‘Potter heads’ created a huge fandom which included both children and adult alike, despite J.K Rolling original marketing the book for children aged 9-12. Thus, here in this research paper we are analyzing the various aspects and factors causing this bandwagon effect esp. among youth. • Why individuals make irrational choices based on the information they receive from others? • Why people decide to ignore their personal information signals and follow the behaviour of others? • What are the major drivers to propel this behaviour? • What common factors are found among such people? What differentiates them from other sections of population. • What are the pronounced effects to be seen? Are they good or not? Etc. In layman’s term the bandwagon effect refers to people doing certain things because other people are doing them, regardless of their own beliefs, which they may ignore or override....

...The Threat of Online Publications to the Traditional Publishing Industry The aggregate demand of published material, both online and offline, is a fixed number. Publishers in today's mass media market face fierce competition; each customer that an online publisher wins comes at the expense of its offline counterpart. To illustrate, imagine the unequal slicing of a pumpkin pie representing market shares that vary in size. The sum of all shares, or 'slices,' adds up to the total client base. Although each publisher already owns a portion of the pie, it still covets those who have a bigger slice. In this zero-sum game, with each new slice that a publisher gains, its pie becomes incrementally larger, while the competition's becomes incrementally smaller. Statistics have shown an upward trend in e-journal subscriptions in recent years, mainly because online periodicals are more frequently updated, cheaper to produce, and accessible everywhere (Greco 2). To that end, the internet has helped many web-based media business increase their market share while simultaneously decrementing those owned by their offline competition. Given their inferiority in cost, channeling, and time-to-market, how do traditional publishers stay in business? In the same way opposing forces in nature result in a state of equilibrium, there is a single overarching mechanism in the publishing industry that is designed to buffer short-term market gains and resist long-term change. This built-in mechanism...

...almost each other was in vogue usually at young population when they are released. As fantasy novels have gained a great population and so many example of them released in time, they have become obviously an extended part of world literature. Moreover, they have so many genres, subgenres, rules, aims and stereotypes like other types of literary works. In fantasy novels, it can be said that elements and genres are usually similar, however, characteristics of protagonists, which means main character, and other characters are sometime strictly differs between themselves. I read the book The Magicians by Lev Grossman, the first book of Magicians trilogy, one of New York Times Bestseller books, which is published in 2009. In this research paper, my aim is to analyze stereotypes of a fantasy novel protagonist with analyzing the characteristics of Quentin Coldwater from the novel The Magicians. Lev Grossman was born in 26 July 1969, in America. He graduated from Literature Department of Harvard University in 1991 and has worked as a journalist and a cult critic for Time Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly and so many other newspapers, magazines and even websites.

...Dim, flickering room lights, on at odd hours. The sound of powerful taps on a screen. Bleary eyes scanning the screen, rapid fusion of disparate information, brain whirring in a consistent, cyclic process. These actions form the substance of research; the substance of my identity. I was diagnosed with hyperactive and inattentive ADHD as a child, resulting in unfocused daydreaming, mental and physical restlessness, isolation in test rooms and being singled out in classrooms. Severe ADHD was an enormous burden for a child to experience and dare to succeed with, especially when nobody other than my parents, and my cousin Ha, truly understood me. While other children constructed life in coloring books and playgrounds, I used paper, markers, and my imagination to shape North Atlantic Coasts. Spending hours searching up everything from the strength of Typhoon Tip to the event horizon of black holes – books and research became the only devices that could quell the uncontrollable energy inside....

...Multiple Intelligence Howard Gardner created the theory of Multiple Intelligences in 1983. Gardner proposed that there were many different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability (McKethan, Robinowitz & Kernold, 2010). It’s a theory that was developed to document the fact that human beings have very different kinds of intellectual strengths and that these strengths are very, very important in how kids learn and how people represent things in their minds, and then how people use them in order to show what it is that they've understood (Video). The nine intelligences include Linguistic intelligence (verbal skills and talents related to sound, meanings, and rhythms)-the ability to express abstract concepts and ideas in words; Logical-mathematical intelligence (conceptual and logical thinking skills)-the ability to solve problems with logical, analytical, reasoning; this intelligence is measures by IQ tests; Musical intelligence (talents and abilities related to sound, rhythm, and pitch)-ability to express ideas through music; Spatial intelligence (skill in thinking in pictures and visioning abstractly)-the ability to form mental models of a spatial world and solve problems through their manipulation; Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (skill in controlling body movements)-the ability to solve problems or express concepts using the whole parts of the body; Interpersonal intelligence (responsiveness to others)-the ability to...
