...Structure and Pattern of Introduction of Business Related Discipline Research Articles Qing Tian I. Introduction Business and economics papers have made a significant contribution to the development of the corporations and economics growth. However, it may be difficult for the readers to fully understand the materials if the structure of the papers is very complicated. In recent decades, there is an increasing trend in the complicacy of business and economics papers (Ellison, 2000). This phenomenon will induce more complexity in comprehending profound research papers. Regarding it, some basic models have been invented to give a general guideline of the building blocks of the research papers. For example, for writing an introduction of an article, Swales (1990) introduced a rhetorical pattern called create-a-research-space (CARS) which segments the introduction into three major parts, namely move 1, 2 and 3. The move 1 aims to give a background information of the topic of the research paper, depicting a general picture of which area the paper will fall into. The next move known as niche basically serves to connect move 1 and 3, illustrating the motive and inspiration of the paper (Swales & Feak, 2012). Followed by niche is the main purpose of the article. By presenting in either a purposive or descriptive way, the author can show a ultimate goal of the article. However, although some kinds of standardizations have been made to formalize the research papers, the construction...

...is right in front of the product your trying to push. On the internet, a company rely’s on the people doing the talking. “If a company wants to promote conversation about itself, all it really needs to do is something, anything, significant” (115). Then let the people take it from there, but the company doesn’t get the choice of good or bad publicity; which makes it hard for companies to be faulty, or lie. But now we are all wrapped up on giving reviews, or posting on our wall, what we just heard happened to Mary Sue at lunch that day. We are loosing “Time” (28) off of our lives the more we stay connected, and loosing who we are, being married to our devices this way. “The human nervous system exists in the present tense. We live in a continuous “now,” and time is always passing for us” (28). Time is always passing. The time we spend in front of our devices is more than we think, and we are becoming more and more like our emotionless devices everyday. We don’t go to the bazaar and chat with our neighbors; we sit in front of our computers, emotionless, typing what we want our friends to know. There is no emotions in blogged, texted, or e-mailed words. Our devices are biased against time, we on the other hand need time for things, eating, sleeping, playing. But we are loosing those things by being constantly connected, and Rushkoff says, “The results aren’t pretty. Instead of becoming empowered and aware, we become frazzled and...

...from JSTOR database. Thesis Statement: This essay attempts to build on the insights of these two great scholars-Felix Cohen, the legal scholar and “father of federal Indian law” and Lawrence Sullivan, the encyclopedic and graceful historian of religion-with regard to “Native America,” which is no less an imagined and located social-historical place than is “America.” I attempt to build on their shared claim that, although Native American communities may mark boundaries of social, political, and cultural difference in the US, the histories of these communities are neither “other” to nor on the periphery of American history, but at its heart. I also attempt to build on the present tense and dynamic sense of agency with which Cohen and especially Sullivan speak of Native Americans-a dynamic present tense too often missing in the historical frameworks given voice in scholarship. The relationship between religion and the law in Native America is an ideal subject through which to view this historical dynamism and to evaluate contemporary scholarly and legal frameworks for interpretation.

...father and how he relates to her. In a sense, he is the primary reason that she becomes a woman of solitude. While her father may be a large part of why Emily is the way she is, Emily cannot escape blame. She lives in complete denial of her father’s death for three days. In addition, she lives in denial of Homer’s true feelings for her entire life. Emily is a woman that cannot accept change and would rather deny the real world around her than face the truth. Emily proves that denial can be a strong force in anyone’s life. By looking at Emily Grierson's past and comparing it to her present, we can understand that she did not change with the times. This is important because I believe Faulkner’s biggest emphasis was Emily’s state of denial. One important technique Faulkner utilizes to emphasize Emily’s denial to accept change is the narrator’s shift between past and present. The present tense is identified with change and progression while the past is coupled with death and darkness. At the beginning of the story at Emily’s funeral, we encounter many images of the past. Some of the men at the funeral wore “Confederate uniforms” (Faulkner 458), which automatically takes us back to another era in American history. Furthermore, these men at her funeral were there “through a...

...DEATH AND THE KING’S HORSEMAN AND A GRAIN OF WHEAT Various kinds of writing exist and these types of writing are very different from one another in terms of the techniques that writers use in a specific genre. In order to gain an understanding of certain texts, the most important part lies in the reading of that text. Looking at two types of writing, namely a play (Death and the King’s Horseman) and a novel (A Grain of Wheat), the essay will explore the ways in which a playwright and a novelist deploy key stylistic and dramatic effects and how plays and novels function through a key passage in each of these writings. A key passage for me in Death and the King’s Horseman is found at the end of Scene Four: Elesin: Olunde? (He moves his head, inspecting him from side to side.) Olunde! (He collapses slowly at Olunde’s feet.) Oh son, don’t let the sight of your father turn you blind! Olunde: (he moves for the first time since he heard his voice, brings his head slowly down to look on him) I have no father, eater of leftovers. The context in which this passage is found, is that this where Olunde thinks his father to be dead because of his sacrifice and goes to pay his last respects to his father’s body. At that moment Pilkings appear and speaks of a prisoner he wants to hold in the old cellar under strong guard. Elesin’s voice is heard as he breaks free and storms on stage coming to a standstill as he sees his son. Olunde rejects his father, in spite...

...'Cousin Kate', presents the narrator who has become a fallen woman through a pre-marital relationship with a Lord. Furthermore the narrator's cousin, Kate, then marries the Lord due to her refusal to have a pre-marital relationship with him. However the narrator has not lost everything as she has had a child with the lord and it seems to be unlikely that Kate will be able to provide this for him. Rossetti’s choice of scenes and places is a key aspect of her narrative method as it helps to shape characters in the text. The two key settings in the text are the ‘cottage’ and the ‘palace’. Rossetti uses these two settings in juxtaposition within the first two stanzas of the poem; which emphasises the social difference between the narrator, ‘the cottage maiden’, and the ‘great Lord.’ Rossetti uses the word ‘cottage’ to inform the reader of the narrator’s working class background and that the narrator perhaps lives in poverty; whereas Rossetti presents the ‘Lord ’to live in the ‘palace’ surrounded by ‘gold.’ This is supported in stanza three when Rossetti uses the phrase ‘He lifted you from mean estate’, showing that when Kate left the ‘cottage’ with the Lord he raised her social status, this could explain the two women’s attraction for the ‘Great Lord.’ Within the setting of the ‘palace’ Rossetti uses an avian motif to depict the two women. Rossetti refers to Kate as being ‘bound’ in a bird cage though her marriage to the Lord: ‘you sit in gold and sing.’ Rossetti presents the ‘palace’...
