...Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make a man more clever devil. Education gives awareness and information. It gives knowledge and knowledge is power. It gives skills and enables us to seek good career opportunities, livelihood, and opportunities for earning wealth, name and fame. It gives moral values and emancipates us as a human being. Education has multiple roles to play. It is ironic; however, that emancipatory role of education has given way to the utilitarian role. Education has fast become a means to learn the skills which makes us smarter at the market place rather than making a good human being. A professional, an entrepreneur, a political leader, a doctor or a teacher or whatsoever; devoid of human values all of them are just like a robot or programmed computers to accomplish certain tasks for his or her employers benefit. The purpose of education should go much beyond that. Education is not just skill and attributes needed to get money and power, it is also a means to learn and inculcate values and character that lead to changes in personal as well as social lives for betterment of life in general and for making the world a beautiful place to live. Education helps us to understand our self interest and enables us to adopt suitable strategies to achieve our self interest. Pursuit of self interest is one of the...

TMBA BBUS 506 A Michael Cavelero, Joel Engstrom, Nesreen Zadah, David Tobey 5/3/2010 1 | P a g e Introduction "We are not here to sell a parcel of boilers and vats, but the potentiality of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice." – Samuel Johnson, ‘On the Sale of Thrale’s Brewery’ “Some of those coal miners could really drink some beer. We would always stay until closing time, and it happened so many times that the busses were not running anymore. Many weekends we’d get back early in the morning, and we had to be at the coal mines at six in the morning. All we could do was change our clothes, take our lunch bag and go to work.” – Jeff Noordermeer, ‘Fifty Years of My Life’ It should surprise no one that West Virginia is beer country. Originally “beyond the pale” of European settlement in Virginia Colony, the Appalachian Mountains were nevertheless welltraversed by Scottish traders hawking spirits to the resident Cherokee. The cessation of the French-Indian war in the 1760s brought permanent settlement by Welshmen, Germans and even more English – all of whom fancied a solid stout. The 1800s saw the start of the long coal boom that transformed Appalachian society, converting subsistence farmers into coal miners and commercializing beer production to meet rising demand. That trend continues today: so popular is beer that West Virginia University has classes on the subject. Mountain Man Brewing Company...

..."Fortunately, among these people a man was judged according to his worth and not according to the worth of his father." Referring only to the first chapter of the novel, discuss how Okonkwo's relationship with his father is presented, and how their relationship with their broader society -- the "these people" of the quote above -- is presented. Be succinct but use the novel, and you must NOT write more than two typed pages! Okonkwo, protagonist in Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart, is introduced to the reader as a young man born in Umofia, one of the many tribes populating late 19th century Africa. Okonkwo derives a grim satisfaction from being starkly different to his father Unoka; fortunately enough, his people judge a man "according to his worth and not according to the worth of his father", leaving him free to deviate from Unoka's reputation to forge his own. Where Okonkwo had acquired prestige at the youthful age of eighteen, his father was a man who had known no success. Okonkwo is depicted as an excellent fighter -- he even manages to overthrow a famous wrestler during a contest -- externally virile ("tall and huge" with a "severe look" and a habit for "breath[ing] heavily") while his father is described as "tall but very thin [with] a slight stoop". Where Okonkwo seems to radiate hostile energy, Unoka's face was frequently "beaming with happiness", yet is clearly stated to be a "failure", only paragraphs after Achebe comments on Okonkwo's "fame". Put simply...

...Lover, and The Rebel. However, the one that dominates the most in Anglo-Saxon culture is the Hero. “I’ve never known fear, as a youth I fought in endless battles. I am old, now, but will fight again, seek fame still, if the dragon hiding in his tower dares to face me” (Beowulf’s Last Battle 607-610). In Anglo-Saxon culture being boastful and prideful is praised because it is a characteristic of a Hero. The poem itself was named after Beowulf to show that he was the dominant hero, the one who stood in the spotlight. “Then he stepped to another still body, clutched at Beowulf with his claws, grasped at a strong-hearted wakeful sleeper” (Beowulf 268-270). That night, Hrothgar threw a huge party for the brave Geats and Beowulf was the only man in the hall who was sober and awake. He had the foresight to not get drunk and pretend to sleep because he knew the monsters would come. Once again Beowulf is demonstrating the Anglo-Saxon culture existence by taking...

...‘Canadian’ and been done with it, but I could see she wasn't going to do that.” Despite being forced to endure two long nights with minimal food in between borders, the mother remains headstrong until she is finally allowed to cross the border as a Blackfoot. Just like the mother, Jay Gatsby is hard working and does not back down from his own aspirations. This is proven when Mr. Gatz, Jay’s father, shows Nick an old schedule belonging to Gatsby at Gatsby’s funeral. The most striking note on his list is “practice elocution, poise and how to attain it” as this highlights Jay’s faith in his skills and ability to become successful, as he prepares to hold himself with dignity for the bright future he foresees for himself. The schedule is symbolic of Gatsby’s determination and resolve of becoming a successful man from a young age as he packs his time with work and studying in order to become successful, despite the fact that he stems from a poor...

...woman but rather becomes one. The author strives to distinguish between gender and sex and suggests that gender is an aspect of identity which is gradually obtained. Over the years, the distinction between sex and gender has been a major debate and crucial for the long-standing feminist effort to debunk the purported claim that anatomy is destiny. Sex is understood in this case as the invariant, and distinct anatomical aspects of the female body whereas gender can be described as the cultural meaning and form that the body acquires. With the distinction between sex and gender intact, it is not possible to attribute the social functions of women to the biological necessity. The presumption that exists between the difference between sex and gender is undermined. For this reason, authors Beauvoir, Ibsen, Rhys, and Del Toro tries to differentiate the two and explains that one becomes a woman and not born as one. The Philosophy of Gender According to the existentialist philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir, it is not nature which determines the life of an individual, but rather their social circumstances and personal choices. For Beauvoir, the aspects of race, gender, and other biological categories are socio-historical constructs that have the option of being challenged. The first thing that happens when a child is born is to determine the gender. That is if it is a boy or a girl. The baby is then given a name that would help it not get lost in the world so that they can become a part of...

...Jeremiah Mertz American Lit Is the American Dream Still Alive F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner are commonly considered two of the best writers of the twentieth century. Their novels depict the lives and struggles of people and give insight into the life of the early 1900's. Their stories often concern the American Dream. In these stories it seems that both these authors are saying that the usual concept of the American dream does not result in happiness and is false. Many people associate accumulating wealth, power, and status as the American dream. In Faulkner's and Fitzgerald's stories this is not the case. Their stories state that the dream is not about accumulating wealth, power, and status as this does not make a person happy, but that creating close relationships and spending time with loved ones creates true happiness and that is what the American Dream truly is. Faulkner's story "A Rose for Emily" centers around the character of Emily Grierson. Emily Grierson was the only relative left of an aristocratic old southern family. These families had wealth, power and status. They were the families that controlled most of life in the old south. Despite the old south falling, Emily still had her wealth and status. She was well known around her town and everyone respected her. The town tried to support her the best they could after her father had died and even remitted her taxes as a sign of respect. Yet Emily was not happy. After her father's death she was seldom...

...generation has followed the wrong way and now the younger one has to face the results of their harmful activities and policies in all spheres of life. On the other hand, the older people believe that they are always right. They think that the world has become much worse since the time they were young. What is the way out of this situation? The young people must understand that the older generation has worked much and has seen much and deserver some respect and least for this. Moreover, the opinion of old people is not is thing to disregard. And old people should try to see that not all that is new is bad, it’s just different. I had one situation in my life with my parents. They said me how do I solve my problems. I said that it’s my problem and I could decide it alone. They wanted that I‘m happy and don’t repeat their mistakes. I understand that my parents know more than I, but I learn from my mistakes. So, I love my parents and always listen to their opinion, but I make my conclusions. Sometimes, when I’m doing errors, parents take offense. But I think this is my life.

... Fredrik Artan Faculty of Arts and Education Subject: English Points:15.0 Supervisor: Magnus Ullén Examiner: Anna Swärdh 2014-06-18 Serial number Abstract This essay focuses on the theme of the American Dream in relation to narcissism in Miller’s Death of a salesman. The purpose is to demonstrate that a close reading of the main protagonist, Willy Loman, suggests that his notion of success in relation to the American Dream can be regarded as narcissistic. This essay will examine this by first observing how Willy´s notion of success is represented in the play, then look at how his understanding of it can be viewed from a narcissistic standpoint. The results I have found in my analysis show that there is a connection between Willy’s understanding of success and his narcissistic behavior. He displays traits such as grandiosity, arrogance, need of specialness and denial of emotions. His relationship with other characters reveals his lack of empathy, manipulation and exploitation of others as well as his need of superiority and fear of inferiority. The conclusion is that Willy and his notion of success could be considered as narcissistic.

...Enotes… Arms and the Man | Introduction Shaw was already a celebrity arts critic and socialist lecturer when he wrote Arms and the Man in 1894. One of Shaw’s earliest attempts at writing for the theatre, it was also his first commercial success as a playwright. Although it played for only one season at an avant-garde theatre, thanks to the financial backing of a friend, it was later produced in America in 1895. Accustomed to the melodramas of the age, however, even sophisticated audiences often did not discern the serious purpose of Shaw’s play. Thus, Shaw considered it a failure. True success did not come until 1898, when Arms and the Man was published as one of the “pleasant” plays in Shaw’s collection called Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant, and it subsequently gained popularity as a written work. Included in this collection of plays are lengthy explanatory prefaces, which note significant issues in the plays and which have been invaluable to critics. In place of brief stage directions, Shaw’s plays also included lengthy instructions and descriptions. Another unique aspect of Arms and the Man was its use of a woman as the central character. Set during the four-month-long Serbo-Bulgarian War that occurred between November 1885 and March 1886, this play is a satire on the foolishness of glorifying something so terrible as war, as well as a satire on the foolishness of basing your affections on idealistic notions of love. These themes brought reality and a timeless lesson...
