...Shakespeare play measure for measure and much ado about nothing . There were two women or falsely accused of both plays and starting off with the play what ado about nothing. One of the main characters hero who was a woman who was supposed to be wedded by Claudio was falsely accused of infidelity and Claudio let known these accusations at the wedding ceremony ( pg.137 act 4. Scene1) by denying her hand in marriage and accusing her of what he thought she did. The character hero was extremely embarrassed and mortified as well as her family. This also affected her virtue more so her standing and reputation in her community for the fact that he's saying that she is not pure that she's a liar and cheat within the story is completely crashes the character hero emotionally and psychologically. She falls into an extreme depression, which is very similar in comparison to the play measure for measure where the story of the character mariana introduced and told by the Duke to Isabella (pg.249 act3.scene1) where Mariana was to marry Angelo but was falsely accused of not being virtuous. So Angelo left her this brought her into a extreme depression and ruined her reputation a lot like in the play much ado about nothing character hero's situation. Both plays have different of showing these different natures of the accusations from both plays in much ado about nothing. The accusation was displayed in a very grand way to shame hero for what she was accuse that she had done in measure for measure Mariana...

...MEASURE FOR MEASURE More centuries ago than I care to say, the people of Vienna were governed too mildly. The reason was that the reigning Duke Vicentio was excessively good-natured, and disliked to see offenders made unhappy. The consequence was that the number of ill-behaved persons in Vienna was enough to make the Duke shake his head in sorrow when his chief secretary showed him it at the end of a list. He decided, therefore, that wrongdoers must be punished. But popularity was dear to him. He knew that, if he were suddenly strict after being lax, he would cause people to call him a tyrant. For this reason he told his Privy Council that he must go to Poland on important business of state. "I have chosen Angelo to rule in my absence," said he. Now this Angelo, although he appeared to be noble, was really a mean man. He had promised to marry a girl called Mariana, and now would have nothing to say to her, because her dowry had been lost. So poor Mariana lived forlornly, waiting every day for the footstep of her stingy lover, and loving him still. Having appointed Angelo his deputy, the Duke went to a friar called Thomas and asked him for a friar's dress and instruction in the art of giving religious counsel, for he did not intend to go to Poland, but to stay at home and see how Angelo governed. Angelo had not been a day in office when he condemned to death a young man named Claudio for an act of rash selfishness which nowadays would only be punished by severe reproof. Claudio...

...‘Measure for Measure’ in Filipino–because ‘Shakespeare is truly global’ A roundtable meeting is “a venue for intellectual discussion among the academe, students, playwrights, directors, media and anyone interested in theater,” said Jeffrey Hernandez, council master of the University of the Philippines Theater Council. He added: “We have a responsibility to the audience to explain our craft, to touch lives and bring them back to the reality of life. We do art for the people we love, and in a larger sense for the country.” That statement opened the press launch of Dulaang UP’s 39th season, held recently at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater in UP Diliman, Quezon City. The theme running through the five plays that will be presented, in Filipino as well as English, until February next year is “Regaining Dignity.” The plays in the season are Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure/Hakbang sa Hakbang” (with Filipino translation by Ron Capinding), Aug. 20-Sept. 7, directed by DUP artistic director Alexander Cortez; Floy Quintos’ “Ang Huling Lagda ni Apolinario Mabini,” directed by Dexter M. Santos, Oct. 1-19; William Wycherley’s “The Country Wife/Ang Misis kong Promdi,” with Filipino translation by Nicholas B. Pichay, Nov. 19-Dec. 7; and Rody Vera’s “Bilanggo ng Pag-ibig,” inspired by the works of Jean Genet, the novelist-playwright who best exemplified the French spirit of succès de scandale “The Country Wife” will be directed by Tony Mabesa, “Bilanggo ng Pag-ibig” by José Estrella...

...Morals, right, wrong and religion: These words make up a person perspective on everything, It only takes one situation to test one’s principles. In the play Measure for Measure, the literary genius William Shakespeare test one’s values by using clever events. The play starts off with the Duke of Vienna, Austria leaving his post in order to test his potential successor, Angelo. But that is when all hell breaks loose. The Duke’s successor misuses his power by sentencing a young man named Claudio to death; banishing his girlfriend Juliette to a monastery for their fornication. The Duke’s actions to save these two young lovers were immoral and did not relate to his godly oath. Starting in Act three Isabella, the sister nun of Claudio, goes to her brother to speak of her predicament with Angelo asking for sexual bribery to save her brother’s life. The Duke, dressed as a friar , overhears the surreal event, causing him to give Isabella some of his guidance, “ Go you to Angelo; answer his requiring with a...

...The passage opens by Isabella using a speech representations, she refers to Angelo as ‘my lord’ this mode of address reinforces the difference in class and also the respect that Isabella must give to him, not only because he is in charge but also he could potentially save Claudio’s life. A common thought that has been displayed in many plays such as Measure for Measure is that men are weak and women are the strong willed ones who cannot be lustful but for a man it is more acceptable and for a dramatic twist Angelos turns round to Isabella and states a declarative ‘we are all frail’, he reinforces his point by again stating ‘women are frail too’. To Angelo’s short remarks Isabella replies with a paragraph agreeing with his thoughts, this can be seen as a dramatic technique as Isabella is strong willed and stubborn yet she agrees as states that even she is weak - which could potentially encourage him - but her agreeing can also help bring to light just how much power he has. ‘call us ten times frail; for we are soft as our complexions are’. He has so much power that Isabella must agree with what he says if its harmless. Shakespeare uses the dramatic technique of presenting Isabella as either naive or a really dedicated soon to be nun, but not letting Isabella know that Angelo is talking actually talking about wanting to sleep with her. Shakespeare highlights that Isabella hasn’t been aware of Angelo's intentions as previously they spoke and Isabella offered ‘gifts’ but in her...

...THE BARD & CO Book Review - The Bard & Co: Shakespeare’s Role in Modern Business Editors – Jim Davies, John Simmons & Rob Williams Published – Cyan Books Year – 2007 Place – London No author perhaps has had the kind of influence Shakespeare has had on our lives in different forms. This book is another example of Shakespeare’s influence, this time on the business world of today. Twenty six contemporary writers have paired with a Shakespeare play and one of the lead actors of the First Folio list to give us this delightful new insight of the play and the role. The book is a delightful collection of essays on Shakespeare’s role in contemporary business world. That we have very little biographical sketch to go by demands that “imagination has had to work harder than memory”. And given the “breadth, vivacity, wit and life” of Shakespeares’ plays and their performances, one cannot help but imagine that those actors would be chuckling in sotto voce behind their masks, at our attempt “to capture some sense of their lives and their contribution to the world” It is fitting that a book on Shakespeare’s role in modern business should be introduced by Dominic Dromgoole, the artistic Director of Globe Theatre. According to him, the theatre actor is the most impermanent of all artistes, considering that once a play is over, there is no remanence of his work except the printed “dramatis personae at the beginning of the published play”. He bows in obeisance to that “mysterious...

...Cortez’s Brilliancy Seen In “Measure for Measure” Justice, morality, love, power, and forgiveness, “Measure for Measure” tackles them all. William Shakespeare brings us to explore a vicious, yet tender and intense world through his play. Dulaang UP, the campus-based theater company, decides to try its hand at one of the Bard of Avon’s problem plays in celebration of their 39th season and Shakespeare's 450th birth anniversary. Does its production of "Measure for Measure," under the direction of Alexander Cortez, measure up? The ones that get most of the attention are Jeremy Domingo as Vincentio, the Duke, who also appears disguised as Friar Lodowick to observe the goings-on in his absence. As a Duke, he turned his kingdom into another peep show, building his own pleasure as he gazes on behind his shabby friar’s disguise. As it gives more sinister, Duke, Domingo solves the notorious problem in the second half of the play, during the unclear part on why he lets things drift for so long before using his power. He acts as a dues ex machina to turn the play from tragedy to comedy. The excellent Tarek El Tayech portrays Angelo, the piously self-assured and moralistic deputy, who rules in the Duke's absence. He is the creepiest Angelo you are likely to encounter. In fact, he is a predator who feels free to unbuckle his instincts after the Duke transfers power to this unfit aide and did take moral temperature of his city. You couldn’t hope to find better acting and direction in the...

...based on the needs of the business. In terms of due care, this is a reflection of responsibility a company has taken for their actions within their company to provide the necessary protection. Due care is evident through specific controls established to confirm management is cognizant of the activities in their company. For example, I work for a healthcare company and controls are set in place to block all social networking sites from being accessed on the company network. This provides protection for the employees from accessing non-company related materials and it decreases the company’s chances malicious activity caused by accessing those sites. We also participate in employee trainings, which is also considered an administrative control. This is considered due care because we are trained to understand policies and procedures. When we start all training sessions, there are forms we have to complete stating that we are entering a specific course and we receive documentation at the end of the training session to reflect we have completed the course. All of these controls exhibit individual accountability and separation of duty, which is extremely important to consider in terms of controls. How Does the Absence of Administrative Controls Impact Corporate Liability The absence of administrative controls will certainly reflect a negative connotation on corporate liability. This is a direct reflection on...

...Price is not Necessarily a Reflection Price is not necessarily a reflection of value because according to economic principles, price is more likely to reflect value in a free marketplace that encourages competition. Value is understood to be a synonym for low price, but value describes the relationship between the benefits the customer receives from a product and its price. Perhaps economic and mathematical calculations can determine the "true" value of a product of service. However, in practical, real world terms, price is not an accurate reflection of value. Value, differs for each person and society and can waver depending on the place, fashion, economic situation of the times. One cannot designate a price for a product or service but the system of pricing products as an indicator of value is a necessary action in a world with scarce resources. The question of value has resonated within thought numerous times. What does it mean when value matches its price? The two terms "price" and "value" hold two very different meanings - price being a quantified measure of how much someone would give in exchange for an item. Value is the degree to which someone feels an item is of personal importance. Shopping at Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, and Dollar Tree asserts that price is not necessarily a reflection of value. Wal-Mart where shopping is a pleasure, is that a true statement? Now there are some items in Wal-Mart like cereal, meat, and beverages that are good in price and great in value...

...He is calling for people to slow down and reflect on all the changes that are happening to not wildly and blindly take up everything that is coming out in technology and changes. It is summed up by the sentence “It lives too fast.” Interestingly, this sentence is in the middle of long-winded sentences in an attempt to call attention to the claim that everything is going too fast and no reflective measures are being taken for possible consequences of everything that is happening. 5. Thoreau’s advice and sentiments in the essay are to be taken as suggestions for periodic reflection on life’s true meaning. Thoreau’s main claim is that in the highly changing world, people are no reflecting on what true value is and are getting caught up with materialistic things and the next moving fad. Thoreau states: “Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails.” Thoreau is questioning at what expense is this new “progress” coming? Although, these new technologies are good, it must be taken with reflection to fully...

A. Nominal Data Analysis-Frequency Table Response | Frequency | Relative Frequency | YES | 9 | .36 | NO | 16 | .64 | B. Qualitative Data Analysis-Summary Statistics Measure of Center: Mean = 51.12 minutes Median= 43 minutes Mode = 45 minutes Measure of Spread: Range = 116 Interquartile range = 55 Average deviation from mean = 31.30 5. Graphic Display of Results: Conclusion: Based on the data, on average, people spend about 50 minutes per day on Facebook, give or take 30 minutes. The usage data shows spikes at low usage (0-30 minutes) and moderate usage (61-90). Furthermore, the data tells us that even though the population enjoys Facebook, most would not be willing to pay a monthly charge to continue using it. While this seems like this data may be reflective of the whole Facebook users population, because I only sampled friends, this data may not be an accurate reflection of the whole population. There is a whole younger and older population that is omitted from this sample because they aren’t part of my friends network. Most of my friends are close to my age. Including the other groups in the sample may generate different...

...and its impact on me and other colleagues. Using Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle I will identify the situation in which the issue arose, the thoughts and feelings it evoked, an evaluation of positive and negative aspects experienced. I will analyse the situation in order to reach a conclusion and to formulate an action plan. To preserve patient and staff confidentiality no one will be named. I believe Gibbs model of reflection to be a framework with which I can address an issue from the workplace as I find it easy to utilise and believe it supports my reflective learning style as a pragmatist. Cottrell (2008). This approach to learning advocates Ryle (1949) where thoughts and feelings impact directly on the way we behave. This way of thinking suits me personally as I trained as a Cognitive Behavioural Counsellor and believe I take a rational and cognitive approach to problems. Neenan and Dryden (2004). Consequently I believe it to be a model or framework with which I can use as I develop as an Assistant Practitioner. The incident I am using for reflection for this essay involves an 87 year old lady that had suffered a pre-tibia laceration and attended the minor injuries department of Accident and Emergency. Following examination by a Nurse Practitioner I was asked to treat the injury. I cleaned the wound aseptically removing the developing Haematoma from under the skin flap and occluded using steri-strips. A Mepitel non- adhesive dressing was then applied. I secured the...
