...Compare and contrast how gender roles are presented in The Importance of Being Earnest and a Doll’s House in light of Ibsen’s statement that “there are two kinds of moral laws, two kinds of conscience, one for men and one quite different, for women.” According to Ibsen’s statement, he states that moral laws are divided into two, one for women and the other for men. He’s claiming that the “moral laws” that society has implanted has double standards. Ibsen and Wilde present gender roles through morality, marriage, food delicacies, dance and wealth. These four factors affect how the characters in both plays are viewed by society. Both writers present the expectations society has for both genders. They highlight the obscurity, the society they lived in, had. This method was to leave the audience questioning about the society they lived in. Ibsen displays the realness of a typical marriage and he doesn’t follow the conventions of a Well-Made play, he presents the hardcore facts of marriage and family life; he does this by giving both genders unequal power, which contradicts the meaning of marriage, “the joining of two equals”. Whereas Wilde switches the gender roles, this method is very effective as it emphasises and reveals clearly how ridiculous the social class behaves. Even though Ibsen uses highly respected jobs to portray the archetype of men, Wilde uses the absence of occupation to concentrate on the other aspects of Victorian life. In the first Act, Ibsen outlines the stereotypical...

The first ever skateboard was made in 1956. The birthplace of the very first one is unknown but they were sold first in California. The reason why they were so popular was because surfing became very big in the 1950’s and California was filled with them. It was very hard to get around because there were so many of them and most had cars and nobody was getting anywhere very fast. At first people thought they were crazy riding on a board with wheels but after a couple of years everybody wanted one. A couple years pass and a new kind of shoe was made for skateboards and they were called Van’s. These shoes are still popular in 2018 but back then everybody had a pair of Van’s They were almost like they would be attracted to you everywhere you went.

...We can easily find friends but have you ever thought of what kinds of people you should make friend with? Friends are really important in our lives and they should be loyal, supportive, loving and kind-and we should give that loyalty, support, love and kindness back in return. How many friends we have is not as have a few friends who have similarity to you. Decide what kinds of friends who suitable for you is difficult, right? Here is a list of top three kinds of friends we should cultivate. The listener is a kind of friend who can sit near and listen to you. Sound strange, right? Of course, if you have a chat with your friends about your happiness, they will always listen to you; however, what if you talk to them about your family trouble, will all of them be able to sit patiently listen to you? If you can friends who can do that, hold them into your life because they are the listener. Another kind of friend is the twin. Have you ever met someone who has nearly every single interest similar to you? The twin is the one who seems to share every single interest that you have. For example, you both like country music and love reading. In short the twin is a friend who is just like you. It is really rare to find this kind of friend but you already have one, you are very lucky! The last one is the motivator. Sometimes, we think that having friends who can accept who we really are is enough but if we can find someone who can make our lives better, it would be the best. It does...

...every single society today. In “War is kind,” by Stephen Crane is a horrific poem which contrasts between the reasoning of war, and the experience of war. The poet uses several language devices such as irony and setting to help me understand a main idea of War being anything but kind. In the poem, the poet has 5 stanza’s- These of which he has set out extremely confusing but of which convey the idea of War being horrible. The odd numbered stanza’s (1,3,5) tell the audience that it has something to do with someone who informs the families when the soldier has died. Stephen Crane is constantly talking about someone as if they had been “shot” or killed. “Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky,” as if the solider has been shot and jolted forward as he dropped dead. He repeats at the end of each stanza of 1,3 and 5 “Do not weep. War is kind.” This indicates that someone was informing the family that the soldier had died. Stanza’s 2 and 4 (the even numbered stanza’s) shows that it has something to do with someone who commands soldiers on a battlefield, “these men were born to drill and die,” as if someone is commanding and reminding them the reason why they were there at war. We see the Irony of the poem when in paragraph 1,3 and 5 are repeated “Do not weep, maiden for war is kind”, “do not weep, babe, for war is kind”, and the last “do not weep. War is kind!”. This is effective because the irony is, is that War is anything but kind; It is the reason why the maidens lover...

...Man-kind has created an independent life away from nature, living on artificial intelligence and man-made power. Yet, this power could lead to the destruction of man-kind itself. In the story There Will Come Soft Rains, Ray Bradbury illustrates how man will not be able to contend with itself and nature, leaving nothing behind but nature alone. Throughout the story There Will Come Soft Rains, Ray Bradbury weaves the theme of man verses nature into the lines to show the fall of man when nature reclaims the world. Man-kind has taken much from nature to build technology and a world of their own to live in. In the story, everything in the house is automatic, the cleaning, the cooking, running a bath and even closing the blinds is done by artificial...

...Friends In this life we come across many kinds of people. Our knowledge of them changes from one type to another. I classify them as friends according to how we know each other's. There are different kinds of friends in this life. The most obvious three kinds are friend is an acquaintance, former friends and best friends. The first kind of friends is an acquaintance friend. Actually this type of friends is exterior friends. We don't know them very well. We only know their names with their faces. For example, if we go in a vocation and we met this king of friends one we back we won't be able to remember them. Whoever, this kind of friends we meet them in the university often, in the work and one we travel. Also, we can meet them anywhere. Therefore we call this type of friends as acquaintance friends. The second kind is former friends. This type of friends we know them very well and we have a lot of special memories with them. We can't forget them and everything remained us of them. For example, if we went to another city for a long time then we back to our old city and we met them by accidently we will know them and we will go to chat with them and we will visit each other's like the old days. This kind of friends we know them from the neighborhood or maybe from our relatives. The third and last kind of friends is the best friends. This type of friends is very important for us for many reasons. One of the reasons is that, with best friends we talk and share some secret things...

...2 is being used for this company, which is the producer to retailer and then to the consumer. Producers send all the frozen stuff from their production department to their retailers, and then retailers get served from their store itself. This kind of distribution is used because as more number of channels increase, so everyone has a share of their profit, and as channel number 2 is just passing from few barriers, and so this a very nice way to cut the cost of the product. Moreover, direct marketing has made a big change for this enterprise, telemarketing is kind of a direct marketing strategy but it is done through a sales representative on phone, or internet technology. By using this kind of services they are interacting with more customers and it gets easy for some customers too order or have knowledge about the company. Furthermore, Catalogue is used often for more information, it acknowledges the customer more about the company and builds brand loyalty. Push and pull strategy are both being used for White Castle.

...What Kind of Management Control Do You Need? 05/04/16 18:48 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE What Kind of Management Control Do You Need? by Richard F. Vancil FROM THE MARCH 1973 ISSUE A good method of measuring a manager’s financial contribution to a company must meet two criteria. It must seem fair to the manager, and it must reward him for working for the benefit of the whole company, not just his department or division. Although simple in theory, these criteria become difficult to meet in practice. The characteristics of the business may lead managers to work at cross-purposes; moreover, the strategy of a business should have a profound effect on the kinds of decisions made. In this article the requirements of designing effective management control systems are examined in both simple and complex organizations. Pointing to realities with which businessmen are familiar, the author seeks to guide executives in weighing the advantages and disadvantages of functional forms of organization, product division forms, and the socalled matrix concept of organization. He points out that profit centers are by no means a universal answer, however appealing they may be in principle to business leaders. P rofit centers are a major tool for management control in large industrial corporations. They possess important advantages: https://hbr.org/1973/03/what-kind-of-management-control-do-you-need# Page 1 of 26 What Kind of Management Control Do You Need? 05/04/16...

...one has a role model. It could be a famous singer, or dancer, even someone in a book. Well I think Quarta in the story, “The Girl who was Born with only Two Arms and Two Legs,” by Stuart Baum, is a great role model. Quarta was born with only two arms and two legs. Other kids were born with eight so she was teased and treated differently. A couple reasons why she is a great role model is because she is mature, she persevered, and she was kind. I think Quarta is a great role model. For example, one reason that Quarta is a great role model is because she is very mature. Being mature is a very important trait to have. Being mature means to be on topic and not let things not get to you. Quarta is bullied a lot throughout the story and she struggled a little, but pushed it behind her and kept going, Quarta was mature enough to not let things get to her and...

...Using a conceptual framework in setting accounting standards Ian Dennis Business School Oxford Brookes University Abstract The paper examines the nature and role of a conceptual framework for financial reporting. Although much has been written about such frameworks and their purported role and the FASB and IASB are currently revising and converging their frameworks there are still questions about the kind of thing it is and how it is used in setting accounting standards. Using insights from the philosophical literature this paper considers the nature of the statements that appear in the chapters of the conceptual framework on objectives and qualitative characteristics. It then considers how these statements are used by standard setters in reasoning towards accounting standards. The kind of reasoning involved and the type of statements that are used in such reasoning is examined. The idea that some of the statements in the conceptual framework express desires that are to be fulfilled by financial reporting regulated by accounting standards is explored. These should be conceived as expressing general desires that are used in practical or instrumental reasoning towards accounting standards rather than as universal desires that enable the deduction of such standards. The need for the exercise of judgement in such reasoning is explored. The nature of the other statements in the conceptual framework is ambiguous. They are sometimes taken to be empirical statements about...

...purchase products without much logical thinking. Advertisements like the Dr. Pepper “Always One of a Kind” commercial give an illusion that aims toward people’s shadows and manipulates the mind in a way that the company would want it to be. The first time seeing the ad, it was evident that its intentions were to leave the viewers with feel-good emotions. It starts out with a series of short clips from following Macklemore onto the stage to people doing various activities like drumming, surfing, bull riding, dancing, swimming with a shark, and mountain climbing. There are Dr. Pepper cans and the Dr. Pepper logo subtly placed throughout the commercial. It also mentions that even woman can be “one of a kind” and that gave a sense that Dr. Pepper does not discriminate. It then goes on to show a clip of a cartoon, which can relate to a child. The advertisement basically shows all these different people doing their own thing around the nation and how they are “one of a kind” in hopes of promoting individuality tied in with Dr. Pepper. It is evident that the commercial is trying to appeal to the audience by using various inspirational images, popular scenes in modern society, music, and celebrities that influence young people to follow them. This all eventually leads to Macklemore on stage performing and while a Dr. Pepper can is being presented, he says, “Here’s to being one of a kind.”...
