...Stanley Blanc Mrs.Lage English IV 3/12/14 Pygmalion Stereotype & Social Class Essay This play was written in order to challenge the social class system which is "Upper Class" "Middle Class" "Low Class", along with stereotypes and sexism. In this Era it was to be believed as the Victorian times, where the Rich were separated from the poor while they are there polar opposite, from money, clothing, lifestyle, the riches way of speech compared to the poor.

The Poor Living conditions were overcrowded , low chance of education, along with the fact they didn't have a sewage or draining system. The Women of Poor class did household assignments instead of working for that was the man's duty, so they cleaned the house, take care of the children. Men held jobs that were unskilled and the children worked in mills and factories such as manufacturing. "Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914… It is… a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw’s feminist views.” this is said in Act One of the play, where Clara says to her brother Freddy "It is too tiresome do you expect us to go and get on ourselves?" The quote said here shows that women back then waited in dry while men went out to fetch a cab for them to ride together in. It was until the mid 1900's that this action was expected from every men. young Eliza...

...Final Courtney D. Bramlett Spring 2015 Belhaven University – Chattanooga, Tennessee Leading Productive Teams; MSL 630 June 9, 2015 Work Experiment As I reflect on these 6 weeks, and how God kept me, I am so excited about the Women’s Conference. It will be August the 28th and 29th. I know it will help, and inspire young ladies like myself to get through adversities and grow in the process. “Survive and Thrive Women’s Conference will be a success. I do not care if only one person comes or 2,000 women come. I will give God the glory. He gave me this opportunity to reach out to women, and I know it is my purpose in life to encourage, exhort and inspire them. Putting fear behind me to do what I was called to do is something I learned from this experiment. I have always felt that I could not be an asset to people because what I have done in my past. Forgiving myself and living a fearless life because God has forgiven me, is the motto I live by. This conference will be my coming out party. I am a new creature in Christ. My heart has been transformed thanks to God. I desire to tell my testimony to everyone who I encounter. Especially, to the women I meet. They do not have to relive their past over and over again. They can forgive themselves, and give their life over to Christ. I am an example and witness of that. I have also learned about knowing how to get an effective team together. I need an effective team for the success of the conference. Understanding...

...Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. Abstract Meaning In his poem “O Me, O Life,” Walt Whitman questions the futility of life. Whitman ponders on the rapid advancement of our world through economy’s eyes. Though he admits to the disappointment that can be felt through human achievement, he also conducts an argument through a powerful metaphor at the end of his poem recognizing the importance of human purpose, “Answer… That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.” Whitman argues that every person is contributing to human existence because they are living and breathing. He connects this idea to the rest of his poem by using a question and answer format. At the beginning of his poem he introduces his final argument, “Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,/ Of the endless trains of the...

...Poem: Give me Back my life Day in and day out I go thru these emotions , But What are they really about? Do I have the strength to go on? Or will all my might they drain Leaving me in a rut in which I must remain Arrows pierce my heart ripping and tearing it apart Shred by shred Was it something I said? Or disillusioned notions in my head I can't stop the rain from falling I can't stop my loneliness For companionship It's calling I can't stop the pain From it what will I gain? As the hurricane of despair gusts thru my mind A decent thought I cannot find With all this rage how can I comprehend one thoughtfrom the other Or those in which I can make amend I rack my brain tossing thoughts here and there All the while wondering Contemplating How possibly can I get rid of the thorns in the fiber of my being It's embedded from days of old It's so unfair My flesh and bones , seemingly Can't get passed The past That caused such dysfunction From head to toe, a chilling sensation Something new I cannot name Can it I claim Where to direct it Some wrongs need to be corrected With my mouth words explode from within The healing process now begins My soul cries for help Amidst a raging storm of old Everything I see, hear, touch Brings a new reality Where is the real me Thru this process I pray the blinds are lifted No more misery , no more strife I declare Addiction Give me back my...

...Ideas may be simple, but what makes simple idea a great one is interest. I believe that a person’s interest in any field makes him produce great ideas and achieve big. The technology I chose might be different to the typical smartphone and satellite theories but it has certainly made a huge impact and will continue to revolutionize the world. Solar energy is a natural renewable resource that is available in unlimited quantities and is a great source used for solar heating, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal energy, solar powered cars and calculators. Solar power is energy received directly from the sun, later converted into other forms of energy. It is perhaps the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy resource available. The simplest answer to the question, why I selected “solar energy” for my essay is that, it is the cheapest resource and the more important fact is that it will never terminate. It is currently being used to power solar cars, heaters and other important things but since it is a new invention, it will take some more time to influence the world. Inventors opened the mysteries of transforming the sun's beams into mechanical power more than a century ago. In 1767 a Swiss scientist named Horace-Benedict de Saussure created the first solar collector, it was an insulated cubical box, layered with glass to absorb heat energy. The box later became known as the solar oven producing heat at 230 degrees Fahrenheit. In 1839, another milestone in the solar journey was...

...think about greek life I truly think about sisterhood. When I joined the Greek system as a transfer Junior from Baton Rouge, LA, I didn’t realize the kinds of connections and relationships it would open up for me. My name is Taylor Padgett and I am a Delta member of the Delta Sigma Chapter at the University of Mississippi. Starting this year off, joining a sorority was not even on my list of life accomplishments and never even crossed my mind especially at a school known for their prestigious greek life. Only knowing two people upon transferring here I was told that it would be a good idea to join and make friends, but in my mind I didn’t want to “pay for my friends”. A few months into the fall semester I was walking through the grove here on Campus when I saw thousands of girls all wearing blue and pink C.A.R.E walk shirts. Totally disregarded what was going on until I approached a short dark headed girl, Logan Sparks, under a big white tent to ask what was going on ,where she informed me about this new sorority called Alpha Delta Pi that was coming back to campus. I was so overwhelmed by everything that was going on around me I wasn’t able to take it all in. It wasn’t until a day or two later when I was walking to subway on the third floor of our student union when I was approached by another one of our awesome leadership consultants Jessica Johnson. In a calmer area, I was able to really take in what greek life actually was and what Alpha Delta Pi could do for me. It was at that...

...The point in my life that changed me was probably the time that i was with my dad and he was drunk and i watched him choke my stepmom and he was yelling at me and my little sisters. It was late at night and they sky was black with bright stars and the moon was brighter than ever. I had just fallen asleep when my stepmother came out of her room trying to get ready for work but she was very noisy which was irritating my dad. My dad was drinking a couple hours earlier and he fell asleep soon after but he turns into someone else when he drinks. He was so furious about the noise that he came out of the room yelling and banging on everything that was in front of him it was like he was the giant from jack and the beanstalk because he instantly resorted to violence. First he was mad that my stepmom was slamming the cabinets shut then he was yelling at my sisters for crying,...

...Music electrifies life, remaining present through every moment and milestone, imprinting itself into the minds of people. Across the expanse of the earth, music remains a universal form of self expression, stirring passion and creativity within human minds. Richard rogers, a 20th century musical compose, represents as a single instance of music’s impact on an individual. In turn, the music that Rogers created lives on even decades after his death. Richard Rogers’s name doesn’t mean much on its own, usually requiring a pairing with Lorenz Hart or Oscar Hammerstein to ring any bells. Meryle Secrest, in her book Somewhere For Me: a biography of Richard Rogers, illustrates the finest details of Rogers’s life and career, highlighting highs and...

...Gun is a weapon that can be used to reduce crime or violence, but can be used to perpetuate, violence and crime. It is true that guns do not do true shooting percentage: People do shoot. It is the person who owns the gun and injuries; we should be worried about intentions. The pride of a man with a gun, so that he or she can actually impose his or her will upon others. This aspect is what is dangerous to legalize guns, because guns are in the hands of the wrong people, crime and violence settings. I do not think people should be able to own a firearm possession of a firearm, because it will cause more problems than it solves. It has been proven time and time again to enjoy strict gun laws and low rates of violent crime country. In addition, people who own guns to protect often due to the accidental killing of their friends and family, and the children often have loaded guns, they found that playing at home, accidentally. People say, "When the gun ban only outlaws will have guns," but while in Japan and other countries, criminals have guns, they usually only use them fight among themselves. Ordinary citizens’ gun deaths are extremely rare. There is no reason to have a gun when you have a police force and army. The second revision of the constitution, there is no police force and no standing army. We do not need a second amendment right now. "Constitution" expressly provides that possession of a firearm in the United States is intended to enable the public to form a militia...

...powerful things in my life. My life without melodies and harmonies would be totally empty. Listening to and playing different tunes helps me to stay calm, relax and it can also help to motivate me to get up and do certain things. Such as working out , cleaning up, and cooking. I love listening to music while on my way to school, and work, as I feel it helps me to prepare for the long day thats ahead of me. Although it may not be, I beleive music is the answer to all my life problems as it has been there throughout my whole life. I feel I can always depend on good music. I first fell in love with music when I was a young girl . I remember listening to "The Little Mermaid" soundtrack over and over on my pink walkman. Just the lyrics and melody took me to another place . Ever since then, music has been a huge part of my life. I listen to everything from 2Pac , Nas , Lil Wayne and Jay Z (Rap) Aaliyah, RKelly, Mary J Blige and Alicia Keyz (R&B) The Police, Metallica, AC/DC, Journey and U2 ( Pop/Rock) and my favorite Oldies from The Gap Band, Chacka Khan, The O'Jays, Aretha Franklin, The Chi-Lites, The Spinners oh' sheesh' the list goes on.

Because not only has it affected my life it has got me and continues to get me through my day to day life and struggles...

...I think that overall life is a grand mystery where we all at some point wish to find our purpose and meaning of life. I believe the substance of life is spiritual for most people but I’m somewhat indecisive. It is kind of hard to determine if I believe in God because it is what was taught, or do I believe in a higher spiritual being to cope with life. Belief in a God is common and different religions praise different forms of God. God is frequently called the ultimate judge, with equal attributes to supernatural powers. This creates a debate in those that are judgmental. It allows developing behavior to be based on new principles of right and wrong. Behavior that deviates might otherwise be blocked out by the sensibilities that the majority finds justification and fellowship in a new group who can appeal to the authority of their god. People believe in god because it feels good, satisfying the natural desire for validation of their thoughts and acts. God is easier to convey as a behavior enforcer than group will, so it finds endless application as a social bond. Voltaire has long been quoted, "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him”. Deism supports a belief in God, but a God who does not uphold the moral values we feel he should. It explains a logical question that I ponder on often, which is suffering. For me it makes it hard to swallow the notion that God would allow certain events to happen in life. Recently I have been looking into the Egyptian religion...
