Compare this opinion of “manhood” to Lady Macbeth and Macbeth’s view from earlier in the play. Which is more familiar? Explain any connections you see between your view of manhood and the two from the play. c. How is the theme of revenge portrayed through the play? Positively? Negatively? Necessary? Unnecessary? When is revenge warranted? How is a “man” supposed to handle his grief? Do the two speakers agree? d. Who is the “bigger man” Macduff, who wants to stand and fight, but weeps for the loss of his family, or Macbeth who, despite initial misgivings, is guided by his ambition for money and power despite the consequences?

...The view in which knowledge by acquaintance gives a foundation for knowledge relies on a controversial correspondence conception of truth. There are a lot of philosophers who reject the basic idea for the view that truth only consists in the representation of the world according to facts. A handful of these philosophers reject the metaphysical category of fact, claiming it as an illusion. A few of them argue that no facts are independent of conceptual framework. The world in which we live in cannot be divided into objects, their properties, and their relations. If any distinctions were to exist, it would be the distinctions that we ‘carve out’ of this world with the use of categories and concepts. One way to look at this view would be...

...From Sun Tzu – The art of War The commander is the country’s bulwark. His proficiency in war can make the country strong, his deficiency makes it weak. There are three ways by which a commander can bring disaster to his army. One, he arbitrarily orders his army to advance or retreat when in fact it should not, thus hampering the initiative of the army. Two, he interferes with the administration of the army when he is ignorant of its internal affairs, thus causing confusion among the officers and men. Three, he interferes with the officers’ command; unaware of the principle that an army should adopt different tactics according to different circumstances. This will create misgivings in the minds of the officers and men. When an army is confused and fraught with misgivings, neighboring states will take advantage of the situation and attack. This will help disrupt the army and help the enemy to win. --- Sun Tzu’s ART OF WAR, Making assessments. The strength of an army does not lie in mere numbers. So long as long as you concentrate your own sources, have a clear picture of the enemy’s situation and secure the full support of your men that is sufficient. You must win them over by them humanly and keep them in line with strict military discipline. This will ensure their allegiance. --- Sun Tzu’s ART OF WAR, Deploying the troops. The guiding principle in military tactics may be linked to water. Just as flowing water avoids the heights and hastens to the low land...

...resigned to become Jackson's secretary of state. He was soon on close personal terms with Jackson and played an important part in the Jacksonian program (whitehouse.gov). In 1832, Van Buren became vice president; in 1836, president. The Panic of 1837 overshadowed his term. He attributed it to the overexpansion of the credit and favored the establishment of an independent treasury as repository for the federal funds. In 1840, he established a 10-hour day on public works. Defeated by Harrison in 1840, he was the leading contender for the Democratic nomination in 1844 until he publicly opposed immediate annexation of Texas, and was subsequently beaten by the Southern delegations at the Baltimore convention. This incident increased his growing misgivings about the slave power (Niven). After working behind the scenes among the anti-slavery Democrats, Van Buren joined in the movement that led to the Free-Soil Party and became its candidate for president in 1848. He subsequently returned to the Democratic Party while continuing to object to its pro-Southern policy. He died in Kinderhook on July 24, 1862.

It is an important character trait because shows off his other qualities Physical courage is bravery in the face of physical, pain, hardship, death or threat of death.

...Melissa Thomas Professor Parker GEO1000 23 June 2014 The Next Revolution The next revolution, in my opinion, will be about the intrinsic right to privacy. In today’s modern society technology is a beacon of change and progress, but not every aspect of that evolution is in the best interest of the common people. After the events of September 11, 2001, the public wanted to be safe but and the government has done a good job thus far, but it is not until recently that the public has truly learned how their privacy had been intruded upon by the government in order to safeguard their way of life. With the government’s ever so increasing surveillance of any and all threats at home and overseas, the ordinary citizen’s privacy is circumnavigated by laws like the Patriot Act in the pursuit of the bigger picture (preventing another event like 9/11 from ever happening again at all costs). With data mining of online records from social networking websites (Facebook and Twitter), email communications (Yahoo Mail and Hotmail), and cellphones (phone calls and text messages) by sanctioned agencies (the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation), the question becomes when is surveillance no longer in the best interest of the general population that the government is intended to protect in the first place. Posting ones energized ideas and thoughts about current foreign politics on a politically askew discussion forum might land an ordinary citizen under the government’s...

...Two of my clients expressed doubt in my wanting to return to college and asked me what the reasons were for my wanting to return to school. I told them, “I need to move through the process of attending school to increase my self-worth, confidence, and be a positive role model for my children”. I chose to pursue school and I ignored my client’s and peer’s misgivings. I definitely think I should have thought this decision over again, saying to myself, “I’m too old for this”. Better yet, I’m sure they’re wondering why would a woman at my age wants to be going back to school. I choose the third row to sit to ensure not to add any more notice to myself. Excitement and apprehension all at once consumes me. I continue to gain confidence while completing my classwork. It’s a shame I let the advice of my peers and client’s take hold and ruin the enjoyment of my first day at college. Now all I hear is, “Deborah, it takes a lot of effort and perseverance to accomplish what you are doing, going to school, running a business, and taking care of a family.” Statistics say that attending college when you’re older improves your self-esteem and focus. Today, I feel I have a lot of determination and drive to succeed to the best of my abilities and then some. Most of all, I am truly starting to believe in myself and what I am capable of. My children see me working hard and it motivates them in the same way. I couldn’t...

...“Home Stay”, which is a look at the odd relationship between a Japanese-an Asian man-and the parents of his Canadian ex-wife, manages to portray a mutual incomprehension born of culture shock or imagined difference. In the plot, Jun’s deep misgivings about his place in the world are resurrected in five frozen goldfish. Through the goldfish as a hint combining Jun’s living details or behavior at Canadian home, the story descripts that Jun’s loneliness with homesick, his unadaption which he needs to be accustomed to well water, butter and no chopsticks, his inhibition and depression like he is the frozen goldfish. The family is multi-racial. Canadian couple treats Jun well, but just like a pet, an injured animal, which results from the way they deal with him is a Canadian way not a Japanese way.

Since the culture shock, weird frozen goldfish confuses him weather or not it is a Canadian custom, making him abnormal thinking method.

...Marian Halcombe, her devoted half-sister. Walter realises that Laura bears an astonishing resemblance to the woman in white, who is known to the household and whose name is Anne Catherick. The mentally disabled Anne had lived near Limmeridge as a child and was devoted to Laura's mother, who first dressed her in white. Walter and Laura fall in love. Laura, however, has promised her father that she will marry Sir Percival Glyde. Marian – knowing that Laura loves Walter in return – advises Walter to forget his love, and leave Limmeridge. Anne, after sending a letter to Laura warning her against Glyde, meets Walter who becomes convinced (wrongly) that Glyde was Anne's lover, or was responsible for putting Anne into the asylum. Despite the misgivings of the family lawyer over the financial terms of the marriage settlement, Laura and Glyde marry in December 1849 and travel to Italy for six months.

...He also quotes two State of the Union speeches in which President Obama expresses his own misgivings. The newsman concludes that neither the government nor the power companies have a credible plan in place to thwart an assault on the power grid. Koppel recalls the recent high-profile hacking of banks and government agencies. He suggests that Russia and China may have hidden “Cyber Time Bombs” on the grid. He adds that ISIS increasingly attracts sophisticated cyber-saboteurs. An even more serious threat than hacking might be a geomagnetic solar storm frying every unprotected microchip in the world through overvoltage. During the notorious solar storm of 1859, auroras were seen as far south as the Caribbean, and telegraph service was interrupted throughout much of North America. Experts calculate that a similar event...

...exquisite perfection, Reginald Rose takes us into the confines of a jury room, to watch twelve men thrash out the guilt or innocence of a nineteen-year-old accused of stabbing his father to death. They are not twelve good men and true but twelve hot and tired men, eager to be done with jury service and back to their jobs, families and entertainments. The evidence, superficially but clearly, indicates that the defendant is guilty and eleven jurors vote that way. Only Juror No. 8 (Colin Smith) is a holdout. Colin Smith with cast in background (Photo: Jim Coates) There is a certain improvisational quality to his dissent; he is unwilling to convict but unable to clearly show why. Gradually he circles through the evidence, discovering his misgivings and illuminating them for the others. In so doing, he faces four vociferous and dangerous antagonists – Juror No. 7 (Michael Innocenti), who wants to convict in time to get to his ball game; Juror No. 10 (Mark A. Rhea), a fulminating bigot whose smug assumptions about the defendant’s racial or ethnic group determined his vote before the evidence was heard; Juror No. 3 (David Jourdan), who has invested the defense of his entire social order in the defendants’ conviction; and, most toxically, Juror No....

...Catchy title, right? Nevertheless, it is still a question every born again believer should ask. “Lord, do I stank of corruption, murder (hate or dislike), selfishness, or stubbornness?” Stank, in the Urban Dictionary, means : Showing no shame in your lack of regard for things that are proper. Showing distaste for things that show respect for an individual or groups of individuals. Bowing to the prevailing peer pressure of being: a. callous b. mean-spirited c. emotionally distant and unavailable d. mentally dull e. sexually promiscuous f. concerned that someone is "hating" on you 4. Lacking accountability and giving props to people who also shun and reject being accountable for their misgivings. So, how does your offering of praise smell to God? Is God smelling those hidden secrets and/or sins each and every time you lift up your hands? Does He smell the sweet fragrance of myrrh and cinnamon, or do you stank of lies and manipulation? Get out of yourself and step into the spirit (the truth) and ask yourself, “WHAT IS GOD SMELLING ON ME?” Does God favor your smell of love and truth, or does He turn His face from the smell of hatred and greed? What kinds of smells permeate the atmosphere when you lift up an offering of praise? Are your prayers and supplications always self-edifying, or are you interceding for your loved ones, frenemies and enemies? Where does your true allegiance lie? Are you doing the work of the devil and masking it as the work of the...
