...attach a signed plagiarism form. This work is my own. Question 1: Critically evaluate David Harvey’s suggestion that we should adopt the right to the city as both a working slogan and political idea. The essay seeks to establish and explain David Harvey’s concept of using the right to the city as a working slogan and political idea. Harvey is known for (2008; 23) introducing the concept of the right to the city as a working slogan (Harvey, 2008:23). Harvey explains how social inequality and discontent can be dealt with by the adoption of the right to city as a working slogan and political idea. The author states that the “one step towards unifying these struggles is to adopt the right to the city as both working slogan and political idea (Harvey, 2008:23)”.The following discussion seeks to expand on this hypothesis and critically evaluate the above mentioned theory. When evaluating the above discussed claims one must examine the two respective sides. One must firstly examine why it is tangible, practical and beneficial to the status quo of the international system to use the right to city as a working slogan and political idea. The second stage of the essay will address why the idea of turning the right to the city into a working slogan and political idea is criticised and seen as flawed. In conclusion the essay seeks to offer alternatives to the current issues. Harvey’s (2008:23) main argument explains how the right to the city has been taken out of the hands of the...

...Lola jerks up, only to find Harvey with one hand clutching a glass of ice water and the other pressed over his chest like he's nearly had a heart attack. "The floor was cold... It felt nice?" The statement, ending into a question, paired with an awkward laugh broke the tension and Harvey passed the glass over to her. Harvey’s eyes are still wide though. She guesses the fright of finding his girlfriend lying on the floor motionless was a bit much, but he breathes a laugh anyway. "Crazy," he teases, before placing the back of his hand over her forehead. Checking for a fever, Lola realizes, practically swooning at the gesture. "It’s not fever warm," Harvey observes, standing and extending a hand to Lola, pulling her up and promptly sweeping her off her feet, gathering her up in his arms. Despite her protests to let her down Harvey just grins and carries her up the stairs. He deposits her gently onto their shared bed like she's precious cargo before crawling onto the bed next to her. Lying on his belly, he kicks his legs up, crossing and uncrossing them like...

...The very appearance contrasted from Vanessa’s brick house with the green lawn and high fence. She described Harvey’s house to be worn out, “the rust corroded gate stood open and askew... tall uncut grass had formed.” The narrator describes to house to have an acrid sour smell, “pots of urine were overflowing.” Laurence expresses Harve’s abusive upbringing and environment evidently. For example, “his aunt with an explosive quickness that made [Vanessa] jerk in every nerve, snatched the wooden spoon and hit him across the face.” While Harvey did not flinch, Vanessa explains every nerve jerked just from watching it. Vanessa notices how in the household, not an atom of respect or trust was given for Harvey when the aunt “darts into where he was, like a giant darning needle” completely assuming Harvey was the one at fault with no evidence at all and makes...

...constructive change (Pierce & Newstrom 2008). Zand (cited in DuBrin, Dalglish & Miller 2006) further suggests that knowledge, power and trust are the three forces that contribute most to effective leadership. In assessing Gerry Harvey’s effectiveness as a leader, we have critically analysed his strengths and weaknesses in each of these areas by examining his leadership style, traits, characteristics and behaviours. Background Gerry Harvey is Chairman of the Harvey Norman retail chain and one of Australia’s most well known entrepreneurs (Retail Times 2007). He has been listed in the top 25 ‘true leaders’ by AFR Boss Magazine and described as “a charismatic, no nonsense, interesting personality who has made an outstanding contribution” (DuBrin, Dalglish & Miller 2006, p. 247) to both the retail industry and the community. Harvey popularised the consumer credit concept which enabled customers to walk out of his stores on the day with their goods and no huge financial commitment (Retail Times 2007). He was also one of the first retailers in Australia to predict and tap into the home computer retail market boom and to adopt a retail franchise model which provided start-up support to franchisees (Retail Times 2007). Evidence of Leadership Harvey’s leadership is evidenced throughout his lengthy and successful business career, but is also seen in his highly influential roles in the community (Retail Times 2007). He has subsequently exhibited all nine of Mintzberg’s leadership...

...to the central themes and ideas and explore the in depth characterization within the film. The idea of order within Gotham collapses when Harvey Dent, once seen a symbol of order as Gotham’s elected DA declines rapidly and becomes a representation of chaos or anarchy. This is revealed through Harvey Dent’s dialogue at the ending scene in the film, saying “the only morality in a cruel world is chance”. This dialogue is paired with the symbolic action of flipping a scorched 2 headed coin, signifying Harvey’s change from a symbol of order or Gotham’s “white knight” to his decline into chaos. The Joker is known throughout the film as a agent of chaos as he said during this dialogue with Harvey Dent in the hospital “Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order and everything becomes chaos. I am an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.” Throughout the film the key concept of fairness or ‘chance’ is explored and is reinforced during the Harvey’s final moments in the ending scene. Earlier in the film when the joker is being interigated there is a definite sense of tension and escalated anarchy. This atmosphere is captured by the audio of what sounds to be a razor blade running along...

However, the real Batman is very controversy to this, he acts as an uncovered honor hero who wants to protect Gotham city from criminals, especially the Joker (Heath Ledger). The joker has nothing important in his life. Everything is worthless he killed for only one purpose, fun. The joker started in the movie by interrupt a group of criminals who are scared by the new Gotham’s hero, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) the district attorney who is aiming to be the next governor, and if he reduces the amount of crimes in Gotham city he may have a better chance to be the next governor.

...functioned by conducting precisely executed experiment on live animal subjects. Harvey’s experiments provided the most detailed and correct representation of how the body functioned at the time. With his research came much controversy as his new theories contradicted those that had been believed for hundreds of years leading up to that point. Some prevalent beliefs at the time were that the heart was actually a heating system for the body, and that the liver was an organ that continuously created blood to feed the other organs. At the time, western philosophy and science had not even recognized that the body has a circulatory system and that blood is pumped throughout the body. Descartes passionately disagreed with many of Harvey’s findings as he believed that a philosophical outlook on how the body works was more accurate than experimentation. However, Descartes gave, in particular, much praise to Harvey’s discovery of the circulatory system and the process of experiments he had conducted to discover this information, including the use of animal subjects for testing. This support gave Harvey’s research a significant amount of validity in the scientific community as many other notable scientists and physicians were hesitant to accept these findings and take them seriously. This event set the groundwork for many more experiments to be conducted on animal subjects. After this research was published, Harvey’s peers at Oxford University began conducting more research on animal subjects...

...The Lovely Bones: A Comparison The book/movie “The Lovely Bones” is about a 14 year old girl named Susie Salmon who gets murdered on December 6th, 1973.

Meanwhile, while no one suspects it was him who killed Susie, her family struggles throughout the book, and movie to cope with the loss of their daughter. Although the book and the movie are the very similar, there are some pretty obvious differences between them.

...Hello and good morning/evening, what do you believe makes a relationship, is it love, friendship or is it established when you are born between your parents and siblings? How could this everyday phenomenon, which drives our will to live and excel, be so simple? “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger and “The Dark Knight” directed by Christopher Noland are my chosen examples to explore themes such as hatred, mortality and deceit, which consist of various factors affecting relationships like self-isolation, our psychological health and propaganda. “The Cather in the Rye” explores these themes in a Dark, cynical but somewhat compassionate tone, accompanied with moments of humor. “The Dark Knight” is similar and explores the themes in a dark and disturbing tone, with the addition of action. “The Catcher in the Rye” demonstrates the theme of hatred with Holden’s hate towards the adult world around him, however as a consequence this causes personal, social and mental isolation from the world and an inability to create meaningful relationships. This is the main factor for Holden’s isolation from the world, and is symbolized throughout the novel with Holden’s red hunting hat. The majority of the people he encounters are deemed as ‘phonies’ for Holden as they do not follow with his view of the world, this generalization further prevent him from making relationships and reflects upon his immaturity. The last page of the novel and more importantly the quote, “All I know is I sort...

Tim explains that he found the comet first but waited to make sure that it really was an undiscovered comet before reporting it.
