...Movie Review: Lawrence of Arabia Script I believe the script was very much profound. There had been quite a lot of twists in the story which made me eager to find out what could happen next. It also showed what a man can do for people regardless of his race and religion. It showed how great the influence of a person who was not even one of their own yet was able to unite them as a nation. Acting In some parts of the movie, I found the acting a little bit clumsy. When one of the slaves of Lawrence fell into the quicksand, the acting was a bit stiff. When an Arab shot the people at the train, some of them fell in front instead of going backwards since they were shot from the front. Also, when Lawrence was shot by the soldier from the left, his wound was on the right which was quite impossible. Moreover, Lawrence kept moving naturally as if he weren’t shot. He could even move his right hand and shoulder. Directing David Lean’s directing gave a lot of insights about what the actors could do. He was able to challenge the actors to act and express themselves which the situation asks of them. It’s just that he became a little careless on some parts which made the actors look clumsy. Cinematography In the movie, it was able to show the things that really needed to be shown like the expression of the actors, details in the movie and many more. The only thing that needed more work was about the lighting during the night. I could barely see what was happening when it was nighttime...

...The Poetry of Seamus Heaney BA Course. Spring 2013. Ferencz Gyozo. Student: Raquel Franco. Relation between past and present in Heaney´s poetry. KINSHIP Seamus Heaney frequently looks back to the past to try to understand or highlight the present. It shows up in his early poems as Digging where he tries to come to terms with his previous generation, with his father and his grandfather who earned a living cutting turf and cultivating the fields. Heaney feels already the need of making sense of his past, his ancestors and his present self, Between my finger and my thumb/ The squat pen rests./I´ll dig with it. This duality between present and past it also clear in others poems of his first collection Death of a Naturalist as in Follower where the poet juxtaposes the past when he followed his father´s steps trying to emulate him and the present when it is his father who stands behind him, But today/It is my father who keeps stumbling/Behind me, and will not go away. And of course past is also present in other poems of that same collection as Blackberry-Picking, in which Heaney´s uses a childhood memory to reflect about the impossibility of beautiful moments to perdure, or Mid-Term Break, in which Heaney returns to a traumatic event of his childhood, the death of his younger brother which tragically taught him about the lightness of life and the definite losses that we are exposed to. But If we can affirm that the past is an almost omnipresent element in...

...Jacob Lawrence Art Analysis: Panel 1 1. In the artwork, Panel 1, of Jacob Lawrence, Lawrence’s style is non-objective and abstract. Though, you can make out the artwork of what it is, Lawrence did not solely focus on one particular part of the artwork, but instead the artwork as a whole is more focused on the figures as a big group instead of just one individual. 2. This specific piece of Lawrence does not have a focal point, but instead the audience focuses on the whole artwork. One clear thing to me as an audience is that the colors Lawrence uses are very similar. There are more cool colors compare to warm colors, and Lawrence mostly uses this to avoid having just one main focal point. Most importantly, the colors are dark and blends in and this doesn’t create a focal point in the painting. Although you can see wordings in the painting, it doesn’t take the audience’s attention away from the picture as a whole. 3. In this painting, the subject matter is the human figures and migration. However, Lawrence does not create any specific faces for the human figures. Although Lawrence doesn’t give the people in the paintings any identities, you can still recognize that his main subject is the people. More specifically, the paintings depict African Americans in the South fleeing or moving up into the North to escape the Southern discrimination. 4. The lines in this painting is created to shape each of the different figures that Lawrence shows in the pictures...

...Lawrence Sports can implement an aggressive approach as an alternative working capital policy. This policy uses less long term and more short-term financing (Emery, Finnerty & Stowe, 2007). Short -term financing is more cost efficient with comparison to the long term financing. Lawrence Sports would experience a profit increase under this policy. This approach has high risk and often high return, as we know from the principle of Risk-Return Trade-Off that without some sort of market imperfection, higher expected profitability comes only at the expense of greater risk (Emery, Finnerty & Stowe, 2007). The main idea is to collect payments on time, leaving no debtors, invest that amount in the business and pay the creditors as late as possible. With that said, a short term aggressive approach is ideal only if the firm expects decline in interest rates. There are risks associated with this aggressive financing approach include higher interest rates, the potential for accounts receivable default, and credit limitations. Therefore, Lawrence Sports have to be prepared to take different actions that are needed in times of tight periods in the capital cash flow. The company can negotiate with current creditors to stretch the account payable, also, to identify and create a list of potential creditors that would be executed in the event there are issues with the existing creditor relationship. Lawrence Sports’ finance manager should also identify and create a similar list with relevant...

...Lawrence Sports: Determination of Working Capital Policy University of Phoenix: Corporate Finance FIN/571 January 27, 2013 Course Facilitator: Troy Mahone Lawrence Sports is a multi-million dollar company that prides itself on its ability to manufacture and distribute quality sports equipment and protective gear. Their principal Customer, Mayo Corporation, has recently requested a repayment extension on their loan with the company. Mayo would like to pay 80% of the payments due for the weeks of March 17-23 and March 24-30 and no payments would be made prior to April 14-20. To allow this payment arrangement, Lawrence Sports would have a deficit cash position for the weeks of March 31-April 6, where they would have to take an additional loan to cover the $307,000 deficit. Additionally, they would incur an interest payment of $3,150 on the loan. For the week of April 7-13, a loan would have to be made to cover the $411,000 deficit with an additional interest payment of $3,690. Lawrence Corporation has already reached their $1.2 million credit limit level and they would, according to company policy, be unable to make additional loans. Lawrence Corporation greatly values the business relationship with Mayo Corp, and a decision must be made determining whether to allow a repayment extension based on the terms Mayo has stated, or come up with an acceptable plan, not only for Mayo Corp, but a plan that would be agreeable with all the parties involved. Allowing any extension...

...Lawrence Sports Problem Solution University of Phoenix MBA-550 January 19, 2008 Liquidity must become a primary focus for any business hoping to create sustainable growth. Lawrence Sports, a fictional company, is presently in need of capital management analysis and methodology overhaul. Included in this paper is a discussion of the issues, opportunities, values and solutions that the firm should be considering. The 9 step problem solution model is the format used to take the reader through critical identification, evaluation and implementation of elements that will transform a problem into new growth opportunity. Lawrence Sports is a $20 million dollar revenue company that assembles and distributes sporting goods. The focus of the scenario is to provide the opportunity for the student to develop solutions to trade off issues, thus establishing stability for the firm. Mayo, who is a retailer responsible for 95% of sales, is hindering Lawrence from paying raw materials suppliers. Unfortunately, this cash positioning problem is direct result of the Lawrence credit policy and the Mayo request to delay payment until the week of April 14-20. Borrowing money to deal with supplier payables is not an option, due to the $1.2 million dollar maximized bank limit. Therefore, this paper will strategize from the perspective of a financial manager who will turn a working capital problem into the chance to design a new credit policy, implement cash management models and introduce...

...Friar Lawrence Friar Laurence is presented as a holy man who is trusted and respected by the other characters. The Friar's role as the friend and advisor to Romeo and Juliet highlights the conflict between parents and their children within the play. The centrality of the Friar's role suggests a notable failure of parental love. Romeo and Juliet can't tell their parents of their love because of the quarrel between the two families. In their isolation, Romeo and Juliet turn to the Friar who can offer neutral advice. At first, the Friar can't believe how quickly Romeo has abandoned Rosaline and fallen in love with Juliet, so he reminds Romeo of the suddenness of his decisions. The Friar uses the formal language of rhyme and proverbs to stress the need for caution to Romeo. However, he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet in the hope that their marriage will heal the rift between the Montagues and the Capulets. His decision to marry the lovers is well-meaning but indicates that he has been naive in his assessment of the feud and hasn't reflected on the implications of Romeo and Juliet's clandestine marriage. The conflict between youth and old age also manifests itself in the Friar's relationship with Romeo and Juliet. When Friar Laurence tries to soothe Romeo's grief at the news of his banishment with rational argument, Romeo quickly responds that if the Friar were young and in love, he wouldn't accept such advice any better. The Friar's knowledge of plants — especially...

...Lawrence Sports Working capital management is very important in running a business because it involves managing all current assets and liabilities. Working capital management involves making appropriate investments in cash, marketable securities, receivables, and inventories, as well as the level and mix of short-term financing (Emery, Finnerty, Stowe, 2007, p. 639, para. 3). Currently Lawrence sports, a multi-million dollar company that manufactures and distributes sports equipment is seeking a way to better manage its’ capital, lower loan burdens, and undertake better business deals with its’ three business partners. Management can solve this issue with working capital policies that reduce future difficulties. Alternative Working Capital Policies As the newly appointed finance manager, one must be fully aware of the companies operating expenses, principal source of finance, suppliers and current financial stance and process with the lending bank. Understanding how all of these relationships can cohesively work together is key to being a success in this new role. By being properly prepared and developing successful working capital policy, the company will always have balanced receivables and payables due to working and negotiating with Lawrence Sport’s customers and suppliers. This type of communication and action plan will result in optimizing revenue, decreasing cash borrowed turn-around time, positive business relations and maintaining positive cash balance thus...

...Lawrence Kohlberg laid the groundwork for the current debate within psychology on moral development. He proposed that children form ways of thinking through their experiences which include understandings of moral concepts such as justice, rights, equality and human welfare. Kohlberg followed the development of moral judgment beyond the ages. He determined that the process of attaining moral maturity took longer and was more gradual than other studies have shown. Kohlberg identified six stages of moral grouped into three major levels. Each level represented a fundamental shift in the social-moral perspective of the individual. At the first level, the preconventional level, a person's moral judgments are characterized by a individual perspective. Within this level, a Stage 1 they focused on avoiding breaking rules that are backed by punishment, obedience for its own sake and avoiding the physical consequences of an action to persons and property. At Stage 2 there is the early emergence of moral reciprocity. The Stage 2 focused on the value of an action. Reciprocity is of the form, "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." The Golden Rule becomes, "If someone hits you, you hit them back." At Stage 2 one follows the rules only when it is to someone's immediate interests. What is right is what's fair in the sense of an equal exchange, a deal, an agreement. At Stage 2 there is an understanding that everybody has his own interest to pursue and these conflict, so that right is...

...decisions that we make and what processes do we go through in making those decisions? Are the decisions that we make simply intuitions of right from wrong or are they governed by outside factors that dictate our decision making abilities? All of these questions are questions that many dynamic psychologists have tried to answer and define throughout the years. More notably are Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg, who both addressed the concerns of moral development in the individual, but in differing ways. Piaget, who was best known for his work in how we learn throughout our development, gave Kohlberg a foundation to establish his focused study of how the moral fibers of an individual are created and developed throughout the lifespan (Kretchmar, 2015). Both found that each individual will establish a code of moral ethics throughout their lifespan, but the "why's" of those ethical decisions are often something that are hard to determine. Kohlberg set out to define the moral development of the individual through his studies of human dilemmas. The theory of moral development, formalized by Lawrence Kohlberg is one of significance in study of the lifespan, as it addresses our ability to distinguish right from wrong. The theory also questions if morality was a result of one's true emotional stance or one's expected rationale based on societal rules. With the moral development theory, Kohlberg established with our growth , our ideas of right and wrong change based on the cognitive level...

...Failed Businessman Malden Mills is a textile company, popularly known for Polartec, in Massachusetts, owned by CEO Aaron Feuerstein. The manufacturing facility in Lawrence was destroyed by a fire in 1995. Aaron Feuerstein, however, paid salaries of workers in the facility after the terrible incident, until a new factory was built at the same location. The factory was rebuilt as a much newer, grand building. It cost Aaron considerable amount of money to rebuild the factory. He took on huge debts to rebuild the factory. Although the productivity of employees soared high immediately after Aaron rebuilt the factory, the subsequent three warm winters caused the company to go bankrupt, with Aaron struggling to pay the debts. The key question here is if Aaron blinded himself to the realities and practicalities in the business world then and went ahead with the huge decision to rebuild a factory and continue paying salaries to his workforce. Did his decision cause more harm to the communities in the long run? Did he endanger the future of Malden Mills by taking such a huge risk? These are all some valid questions that go through my mind as I read through the case. The stakeholders involved are Aaron Feuerstein, his company shareholders and board members, the factory workers from Lawrence and the customers of Malden Mills. Malden Mills is Aaron Feuerstein’s private company. He was not the company shareholders’ agent. I believe that he had the right to take any decision...

...Zach O’Kelley “Kansas” The boy was standing by the side of a dirt road. A Ford pickup stopped beside him and he got in. “I’m going to shoot my wife,” said the farmer. He had a forty-five revolver on the seat beside him. “Why are you going to shoot her?” the boy asked. “She’s runnoft with another man,” the farmer replied. They continued to drive towards Lawrence. The farmer asked the boy,”Why are you going to Lawrence?” “I am going to catch a train”, the boy replied. As they arrived in Lawrence, the farmer spotted the Plymouth coupe parked on the main street. The farmer turned the truck around sideways and to an abrupt stop. The farmer sprinted towards the coupe like a hungry tiger after its prey. The boy ran after the farmer, “Think about what you’re doing!” the yelled frantically. “Please don’t kill her!” the boy pleaded. The farmer approached the car and found a note under the windshield wiper. The farmer picked up the note and handed it to the boy. “I cannot read, could you tell me what this note says” the farmer asked the boy. “Your wife was bitten by a rattlesnake; we are in the doctor’s office.” The farmer dropped the gun and rushed into the office to his wife’s side. His wife lay on the table motionless as if she was in a coma. The Doctor said, “She is in a fight for her life, the poison has spread thru her body, and she has only hours left to live.” The farmer kissed his wife on the cheek, and whispered into her ear,”I love...

...From the character's inexperience with love and Friar Lawrence's interference with their love for each other in “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” those are the things that caused the end of Romeo and Juliet. When Friar Laurence let them get married without consent of their parents. Another way is that when Juliet drank the sleep potion which ultimately led up to the death of both of them. Some people might think that instead of the characters inexperience, people think that it was the fate and chance of Romeo and Juliet that led up to the death of both of them. They're plenty of reasons why the character's inexperience with love caused the death of Romeo and Juliet. One of the things that lead up to their death is when Romeo fought Tybalt and killed him Tybalt:”Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here, Shalt with him hence.” Romeo:” This shall determine that” (3.1.91-92). The reason why this is such a big deal with the death is because I feel that this is what cause Juliet to do the Things that she does. This all starts with the banishment of Romeo from Verona. This one action lead to Juliet doing all these crazy things like drinking the sleeping potion and fooled everyone around her “Farewell!-God knows when we shall meet again....... Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink. I drink to the.” (4.3.14-60) The reason why she drank the sleep potion is because she thought that when she woke up she could run away with Romeo. That did not happen, Romeo found out about the...

...education and psychology. “One of the best known theories was developed by a psychologist named Lawrence Kohlberg who modified and expanded up Jean Piaget’s work to form a theory that explained how children develop moral reasoning” (Cherry, 2014). Moral development was described in two stages by Piaget. Kohlberg took those two stages described by Piaget and elaborated on them. The theory of moral development, which is described by Kohlberg, outlines three levels with six stages. Kohlberg believes that political liberalism “will not be replaced by a new ideology of the West but will continue to be its dominant ideology for the next century” (Crain, 1985). Kohlberg’s proposed moral development is a process that is continuous and occurs over the period of a person’s lifetime. “Furthermore, Kohlberg believes that the liberalistic concept of justice represents a higher conceptualization of justice in the same sense in which a higher developmental stage in morality represents a higher understanding of justice” (Crain, 1985). However, Carol Gilligan a well-known psychologist, ethicist, and feminist is against Kohlberg’s theories. “Through a review of psychological and literary sources, she illustrates the feminine construction of reality” (Gilligan, 1982). Her belief is that women or girls develop morality differently than men or boys. A Summary of Kohlberg’s Theory Lawrence Kohlberg created what is known as a theory of six stages of moral development. Within the six...
