...The so-called long Age of Enlightenment in Europe, stretching from the mid-17th century into the 1830s, engendered new political, economic and social ideals and generated knowledge across the arts and sciences. But part of its impetus was outside of Europe. Dorinda Outram likens the European Enlightenment to" a world drama of cross-cultural contact" that "triggered anxieties" for Europeans about the nature of being civilized (Outram, 2004). To the 17th century English philosopher John Locke, an early archetype of an enlightened thinker, the discovery of the New World of America "enlarged the sphere of contemplation" about "civilized man" and his "savage ancestors" (Locke, 1690). There was more to discover. The scientific journeys of exploration around the Pacific in the 18th century by James Cook, another archetypal figure of the Enlightenment, were significant in creating the imagination and knowledge of the age. Although the Enlightenment was a European phenomenon, its scope became global as the scholars of Europe attempted to classify and order the peoples, plants and animals of other worlds as well as map their landscapes. Maori scholar Linda Tuhiwai Smith succinctly sums up the process: "They came, they saw, they named, they claimed" (Tuhiwai Smith, 2001, p. 80). 'Discovery' was the watchword of the Enlightenment (Porter, 2000), realised only by a few Europeans but imagined by many others and evident in the fashion for paintings of drawing room explorations with globes ahd...

...John Kerry John Kerry is running for president to make America stronger at home and more respected in the world. He has a plan to restore the values that have always made America a leader in the world. He has a plan to create good-paying jobs at home - jobs that let American families get ahead in an America where the middle class is growing, not being squeezed. He has a plan to make health care a right for all Americans. He has a plan to make this nation independent from Middle East oil. And he has a plan to modernize and strengthen America's military and lead a new era of alliances - so young Americans are never put in harm's way because we insisted on going it alone. John Kerry is running for president to answer the call to service - just as he has answered that call all his life. He was born on December 11, 1943 at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Colorado. His father, Richard, volunteered in the Army Air Corps during World War II. His mother, Rosemary, was a lifelong community activist. As he was about to graduate from Yale, John Kerry volunteered to serve in Vietnam. His leadership, courage, and sacrifice earned him a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with Combat V, and three Purple Hearts. In Vietnam, John Kerry saw the lives of his fellow soldiers put at risk because some leaders in Washington were making bad decisions. When he returned home, he became a spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) and later co-founded Vietnam Veterans of America. John Kerry then went...

...John Heartfield: John Heartfield was born on the 19th of June, 1891, and died on the 26th April 1968.He remains the best known and revered as a result of his single-minded devotion to anti-Nazi Political activism. He was working in Germany between the two world wars, and developed an innovative method of appropriating and reusing photographs to powerful political effect. Heartfield pioneered photomontage and used the technique of cutting up and combining photographic images to strong political effect. His most famous works were powerful satirical attacks on Hitler and the Nazi’s. Heartfield combined radical art of the avant-garde artistic movement of Berlin Dada with revolutionary politics. At a time of uncertainty, Heartfield’s agitated images forecasted and reflected the chaos Germany experienced in the 1920’s and 1930’s, as it slipped towards social and political catastrophe. Photomontage allowed Heartfield to create loaded and politically contentious images. To compose his works, he chose recognisable press photographs of politicians or events from the mainstream illustrated press. He them dissembled and rearranged these images to radically alter their meaning. Whereas other Dada exponents of montages produced art, for Heartfield his output has the appearance of newspaper photographs. For Heartfield, the definition of photomontage was wider than most peoples, and he insisted it should include a single photo with caption, since text and image interacted with each...

...Nazareth. The New Testament is about the life of Jesus and the lessons he taught during his time on earth. It recounts his death, resurrection, and ascent into heaven. The remainder of the New Testament tells how his followers dealt with his absence, how they continued on his works and spread his message. Region 2 The New Testament starts with four books called Gospels, which means “Good News”. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Although all four gospels tell the events of Jesus’ life, the Gospel according to Mark is exceptional between the four. It is the shortest of all four gospels. It is believed to be the first written, therefore, it is considered to be a foundation for which the other gospels were written. The book is officially regarded as the “Gospel According to Mark” even though it does not state who the author was. The author is believed to be John Mark who was a follower of Jesus some time after Jesus’ death and resurrection. It was probably written during the time period A.D. 55 and 70. John Mark...

(5-10 min) o Label the parts of the introduction (REAL) o Make a list of the parts of the body paragraphs • Be ready to share out your findings. (2-3 min) “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” -Anne Frank Anne Frank said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” This means that even if people do bad things, deep down they are still good people that care for other human beings and have feelings. I agree with this statement. In the novella The Pearl by John Steinbeck and the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the characters Kino and Gene are still good at heart despite the bad things they may have done. In the novella The Pearl by John Steinbeck, Kino is a young Mexican man who finds a valuable pearl. Before finding the pearl, Kino has a peaceful life with his wife, Juana and his son, Coyotito. Kino finds a pearl and people try to take advantage of him to get their hands on the pearl. Because of this, Kino is driven to do things he normally would not and the mood of the story turns dark. He beats a man who tries to attack him, he beats his wife for trying to get rid of the pearl and the bad luck it is causing Kino’s family and finally, he kills a man who tries to take the pearl away from him. This story is told from a third person point of view that allows the reader to get...

...Wilfred Owen letter: My own dearest Mother, Immediately after I sent my last letter, more than a fortnight ago, we were rushed up into the Line. Twice in one day we went over the top, gaining both our objectives. Our A Company led the Attack, and of course lost a certain number of men. I had some extraordinary escapes from shells & bullets. Fortunately there was no bayonet work, since the Hun ran before we got up to his trench. You will find mention of our fight in the Communiqué; the place happens to be the very village which Father named in his last letter! Never before has the Battalion encountered such intense shelling as rained on us as we advanced in the open. The Colonel sent round this message the next day: 'I was filled with admiration at the conduct of the Battalion under the heavy shell-fire.... The leadership of officers was excellent, and the conduct of the men beyond praise.' The reward we got for all this was to remain in the Line 12 days. For twelve days I did not wash my face, nor take off my boots, nor sleep a deep sleep. For twelve days we lay in holes, where at any moment a shell might put us out. I think the worst incident was one wet night when we lay up against a railwav embankment. A big shell lit on the top of the bank, just 2 yards from my head. Before I awoke, I was blown in the air right away from the bank! I passed most of the following days in a railway Cutting, in a hole just big enough to lie in, and covered with corrugated iron. My brother...

...The Waste Land In South Africa The National Party enforces apartheid by law in 1948. It separates whites from ‘natives’, ‘coloreds’ and ‘Asians’, in every area of life from the buses they travel to work on, to the benches where they may sit at the train stations. This segregation implies that the circumstances for the coloreds and blacks turn into worse circumstances than ever before. When people hear the word apartheid, most of them think about this separating of blacks and whites and the fighting between the blacks and whites. But that is just one of many detriments apartheid has caused. This text “The Waste Land” by Alan Paton deals with a different perspective of apartheids causes – the fights in the colored races. “Mercy was the unknown word” (p. 1, l. 13). This quotation clearly inform us about the blacks’ and coloreds’ conditions below the laws of the National Party which force the black and colored people to hurt each other, so they will have a chance to survive. The main theme in the text is about apartheid’s consequence. More specifically the theme is that you cannot trust anybody – not even your family during the apartheid time: “’Freddy.’ said one. ‘Your father’s got away’” (p. 2, l. 43). It is the man’s own son who tries to rub him. Nobody cares about you. One of the other themes is everything that used to be good turns to the worst. Even your belief neglects him: “…behind him was the high wall of the convent, and the barred door that would not open before a...

...Both ‘A Valediction’ and ‘The Anniversary’ as two poems written by John Donne possess certain similarities, largely through Donne’s use of extended metaphor in both to portray his feelings of love. However, elements of these poems can also be seen as to greatly juxtapose with ‘A Valediction’ focussing on the concept of ‘greater love’ enduring distance whilst ‘The Anniversary’ seems to portray the same love, though enduring time. Both poems convey a sense of ‘higher love’ - a highly spiritual experience. In ‘A Valediction’ Donne writes of ‘Dull, sublunary lovers’ in comparison to himself and his wife, using assonance to amplify the portrayal of these lovers as heavy-sounding and truly physical rather than anything more spiritual. The adjective ‘dull’ creates a lack of brightness about most lovers in comparison to Donne, whilst as he adds ‘Whose soul is sense’ Donne uses sibilance to continue the peaceful and gentle air of the poem in order to replicate his love, rather than to portray the love of the ‘Dull, sublunary lovers’. Donne’s ‘refin’d’ love (syntactically placed at the end of the line for further weight in describing the innate majesty of Donne’s love) connotes that of a diamond – a precious commodity in the 17th century – to describe the rich wealth of his love to his wife, but also its rarity, whilst Marxist literary theorists perceive this to be a reference to Donne’s ‘hardly attainable’ love, only truly expressible in the higher classes. In ‘The Anniversary’ , Donne...

...Foods has been able to utilize the positive assumptions about a person’s work ethic to their advantage. McGregor’s Theory Y tells us that "Managers could accomplish more through others by viewing them as self-energized, committed, responsible, and creative beings.” (Kreitner and Kinicki, 9) By implementing a workplace that is built within the values of Theory Y Whole Foods motivates, engages and empowers their employees, creating a more positive workplace, and happier employees. Whole Foods builds its human capital by taking the time to select people who they feel will be a "good fit" for the company as a whole, and looks beyond ability and skill to do so. Social Capital is developed by creating a workplace that encourages happy employees. John Mackey has been quoted as saying “when people are really happy with their jobs, they provide much higher degrees of service to the customers. Happy team members result in happy customers”. This results in a positive chain reaction that leads to more business, more money. (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013, p. 30) The profile of a 21st century manager can be seen throughout the Whole Foods organization. Managers are seen less as people who give orders and more of team members, coaches and advocates. They understand that in their industry their primary resource is their human capital, and work to keep this resources preforming at its best by investing in quality training and going to great lengths to make sure that their employees are happy in their...

The very same ones, such as President Sarkozy and Chancellor Merkell, would seemed not be around when McCain came calling. Obama also meet Brown in London, who if the recent Glasgow by-election, which was won by SNP, is a bellwether, is gone. His meeting with Conservative Leader, David Campbell, included a significant snippet caught by the ubiquitous open mike. Andrew Grice in The Independent includes in his account of the Tories new political mantra to be repackaged at later date for Australia his report of the private conversation between Obama and Cameron: It is a curse that afflicts all political leaders: having no time to think. Gordon Brown often does his thinking at the crack of dawn because his diary is so full. And a remarkable conversation when David Cameron met Barack Obama on Saturday was picked up by an ABC News microphone. Cameron: Do you have a break at all? Obama: Actually the most important thing you need to do is to have big chunks of time during the day when all you’re doing is thinking … The biggest mistake that a lot of these folks make is just feeling as if you have to be… Cameron: These guys just chalk up your diary. Obama: Right. In 15-minute increments … Cameron: We call it the dentist’s waiting room. You have to scrap that … you’ve got to have time. ...

...Plagiarism Rob Jenkins, an associate professor of English at Georgia Perimeter College analyzes the effects and the consequences of plagiarism in his article titled: ” Toward a Rational Response to Plagiarism”. Rob Jenkins takes into consideration what kind of problems would it cause to students that take someone elses essay and returns it as his own. He is also trying to figure out what is the best way for teachers to react to their students about the matter. He says it should briefly told to the students what is the teachers stand on plagiarism and what are the penalties to students that get caught. Mr. Jenkins emphasises that the matter should not be overemphasised either. I think it is really hard for a teacher to try to prevent students from plagiating someone elses text in their essays. There are a few reasons for that fact. One is that it is pretty hard to determine what is “plagiating”. If you just take someone`s idea and say it in your own words, is it cheating? Or does it have to be an accurate citation about what someone else has said or written. Reason number two. I think nowadays most students in Finland do not feel that they are making a big crime for cheating on an English assignment. And the penalties would not be that bad. What is the worst thing that could happen? You would have to write your essay again? That does not sound very intimitating. Higher education is not that valued anymore either. And the teachers are not that feared or respected as...
