...Whenever the Calormenes mentioned their leader, they always exclaimed "May he live forever!" in exactly the same tone. It seemed to be a deliberate imitation of the Muslim custom.”(Imram Amhad) In the real world, Muslims and Christians have clashed and are considered opposing religions. However essentially both religions worship the same god. The biggest point of diversion is that Christians see Jesus as the son of god and the only true way to salvation. In The Horse and his Boy, Aslan who represents Christ is also seen as the true salvation, whereas the Caloren religion is implied to be satanic. Sure enough the deity in question Tash, later turns out to be a demon; “Lewis does seem to demonize Islam, making his Calormenes appear so obviously like Muslims, yet their theology of worshipping and practicing human sacrifice to a hideous idol-god called Tash could not have been more un-Islamic. (Islam is endemically opposed to...

...For example, Ray, Nomi’s Father portrays the characteristics of depression after his wife leaves the community. He does not move, and cannot function for a period of time. Nomi states that after Trudie is exiled “he didn’t move all day. And he didn’t speak and he didn’t eat” (Toews, 190). Ray clearly exhibits feelings of hopelessness and extreme sadness, which continues throughout the novel because of what his restraining community, has done. Furthermore, Naomi develops insomnia and nightmares, after Tash leaves. She states that “I developed insomnia. Nightmares of Tash screaming while she burned, a hand reaching out for help”(162). Evidently, the fact that Tash felt so controlled to the point at which she left, continues to have a lasting effect on Nomi, resulting in loss of sleep and PTSD like symptoms. Lastly, mental illness is directly described as a characteristic of the people in East Village. While in the Doctor’s office, Nomi sees “a book on his shelf that was titled How to Incorporate Mental Illness into Your Daily Routine” (134); after seeing this, she declares that “he really did understand us” (134). This unquestionably illustrates the magnitude of Mental Illness within the community, as even the doctor believes it is problematic. Overall, the negative outcomes of a controlling religion are shown through Ray’s...

...Change Complexity The nature of change and management of change The core conditions of social entities such as enterprises, industries, national and regional economies, but also families and personal networks, are often characterized by “dynamics”, “turbulence”, “transformation "or “discontinuity”. Change serves as an umbrella term for all these far-reaching, significant and sometimes dramatic transitions. Change as patterned and predictable vs. change as complex and unpredictable Some scholars assume change to be regular and stable with an identifiable cause-effect relationship. Such a view of change is adopted by physical sciences. On other hand Change is thought to be dynamic and complex in nature. It functions as non-linear feedback system with no clearly identifiable and predictable cause and effect relationship (Harigopal, 2001). Change and future events thus can neither be predicted nor be controlled with certainty as it continually evolves as a result of interactions between various factors. Such a view of change is adopted by social sciences Change Complexity Three formal features capture the essence of change: Complexity, Omnipresence, and Prominence Complexity Change goes along with specific features of complexity that differentiate this species of complexity from complexity as a generic feature of management. The specific accumulation of complexity represents a major challenge to both targets and managers of change. The causes of complexity in change initiatives...

...Passage 1: From the First Fourteen Chapters “It may have been the light at 5:36 on a June evening or it may have been the smell of dust combined with sprinkler water or the sound of the neighbour kid screaming I’ll kill you but suddenly it was like I was dying, the way I missed her. Like I was swooning, like I was going to fall over and pass out. It was like being shot in the back. It was such a surprise, but not a very good one. And then it went away. The way it does it. But it exhausted me, like a seizure”. Speaker: The speaker in this passage is Nomi Nickel, the main character in A Complicated Kindness, speaking on her view of loss. Context: This passage is from Chapter 13, page 105 of A Complicated Kindness. By this point in the book, Tash,...

...amputation, the director prioritizes the audience’s emotional attachment to the moral lesson of the narrative by utilizing the “supercrip” stereotype. The “supercrip” stereotype leads society to objectify people with disabilities, due to the constant use of these inaccurate images in the media.

...AAID Autism Multiple Disorders Rose Francis November 27, 2012 SPE 226 There are many different kinds of developmental disabilities. The American Association On Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities create an outline of what is to be considered an intellectual disability. Their intellect has to considerably limit their ability to properly express the appropriate social behavior while also limiting their adaptive skills within the community and interaction with others. The disability has to be identified before the person is of the age of 18. It also There are also different approaches which should be looked into when classifying a person with intellectual disabilities. Medical professionals have to rate the imparity on a scale indicating if it is mild, moderate, severe, or profound. Without these classifications the proper educational support plan cannot be put into place. The classification also helps with what kind of support the individual will need at home outside of the school setting. About 10% of children in the United States between the ages of 6 through 21 have some kind of intellectual disabilities label. The characteristics which are considered to be intellectually disabled would be having memory or learning deficiencies, troubles with memory recall, or apply abstract thought. These students also have trouble controlling their behavior also known as self-regulation. Their adaptive skills are also hard to apply to real life situations being able to...

...ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Equipment Equipment CLIENT: 48-year-old Male CONDITION: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Freedom through a Single Switch Pearl Gryfe BSc, OT(c) CASE HISTORY: Mr. J.L. is a 48-year-old active male, who was a human resources executive, and was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in August of 1996. J.L. lived alone and was generally in good health until July of 1996 when he developed symptoms of twitching in his left hand. Within a year of diagnosis, J.L. was a complete quadriplegic and his speech was unintelligible. The client had 24 hour attendant care and a strong support network of friends; however, he wanted to feel in control of his environment and to communicate his wishes. J.L. was referred to our clinic by his neurologist to determine his assistive technology needs. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: J.L.’s consistent motor access points consisted of four areas: bilateral hip ab/adduction(L2, L3) – manifested through his knees; right foot (L4, L5, S1); Tibialis Anterior, Extensor Hallicis, Gastrocnemius – manifested by dorsi/plantar flexion of the ankle and extension of the great toe, and head movement was intact. It was clear that J.L. had multiple motor points at the time of the initial assessment; however, as the pathology progresses, the OP and other team members have to take into consideration the possibility that those motor points will degenerate and prepare for the possibility of only one switch site. Thus, how and where the switch(es)...

...THE CHURCH, EUTHANASIA and ASSISTED SUICIDE Euthanasia also known as “mercy killing” and assisted suicide are worldwide controversial issues. According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the word euthanasia comes from Greek, meaning easy death (eu: easy, thanatos: death). Euthanasia means to end the life of a person who is terminally ill or suffering from severe pain, in a deliberate way. At the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) webpage, in the section Ethics guides, under the title of Forms of Euthanasia, Religions and Death? (2009), different types of euthanasia are described, such as indirect, active, passive, voluntary, involuntary and non voluntary. On the other hand, assisted suicide is usually performed with the help of a health professional; that is why; it is usually called Physician Assisted Suicide (or PAS). The main controversy is over the different opinions on whether it is the sick patient’s decision or if it is a legal, ethical or religious issue to be considered by a third party. In order to practice assisted suicide in a country where it is legal, many factors should be present, such as the moral and religious beliefs of the patient and the physician or the patient’s family and the physician, as well as the legislation of the country where it is going to be carried out. At present, in countries where euthanasia is not legalized yet, it is very difficult to obtain legal permission to practice it. As regards the ethical...

...896N1 - Multinational Financial Management The impact of the global financial crisis on the Multinational bank funding and its liquidity CandNo: 109098 Tutor: Dr Bruce Hearn, Dr Javad Izadi Zadeh Darjezi and Miss Madina Tash Date of Submission: 7th March 2013 Abstract This paper analyses the impact of the global financial crisis on the Multinational bank funding and its liquidity. In analysis of several articles, under the global financial crisis, multinational banks change their funding model to the stable wholesale funding and reduce the lending when the parent banks are financially weak. For its liquidity, multinational bank subsidiaries can rely on support from the bank group they belong to and therefore tend to hold a slightly lower liquidity. Content Abstract 1 Introduction 3 Literature Review 3 Analysis 5 Conclusion 6 Reference 6 Appendix 7 Introduction As the financial crisis existed through the fabric of the world’s financial system in the third quarter of 2007, it became clear that firm access to finance was going to be an early victim, including Multinational banks. During the local crisis, strong parent banks used their internal capital market to provide subsidiaries with capital and liquidity (Haas and Lelyveld, 2010). Domestic banks rely to a great extent on local funding, whereas an affiliate of a multinational bank can exploit both local funding possibilities and the funding capacity of its parent bank, all of which are embedded in...
