...the way values have changed over time. To what extent is this true of the two texts you have studied? (Minimum any 2 scenes, 4 quotes and roughly 1200 words) It is the relationship between context, text and responder that helps the audience to create meaning from a text. Through Pacino recontextualising Shakespeare’s Richard III, the audience is able to develop a better understanding and newfound appreciation of Shakespeare’s text. By comparing the structure and language of both texts the responder is able to go on their own journey of understanding and interpretation. Pacino builds a bridge that enables us to cross over and understand Shakespeare’s context. Pacino develops our understanding of ‘Richard III’ and helps us to recognize how values can be encoded within a text. This can be seen through the different values, beliefs and attitudes towards women reflected in Richard III texts in Act 1 scene 2. The wooing of Lady Anne demonstrates the climax of Richard’s role as a villain. The stichomythic language engages the audience which allows us to be seduced by Richard, for example when Lady Anne say, ‘‘o wonderful, when devils tell the truth’ and Richard replies ‘More wonderful, when angels are so angry’. This short declarative verbal exchange creates momentum in the scene resulting in the audience being in a state of anticipation. It reveals the power of language to persuade and Richard is able to capture the audiences’ admiration. Lady Anne’s capacity to verbally play with language...

...The play Cosi is a comic play written by Australian playwright, Louis Nowra and is set in the early seventies in the midst of the Vietnam War era. The play focuses on the amateur production of the Mozart’s Opera Cosi Van Tutte. The protagonist, Lewis is a young inexeperienced university student who is given the task of directing the play as a part of a therapy program for the partients at the local insane asylum. Dramatic techniques are used constantly throughout the play to create re-occurring motifs impacting significantly on the themes of enlightenment, love and fidelity and madness, which are shown strongly throughout. In Act One, scene one responders are introduced to the “burnt out theatre” where two unlikely worlds merge. The theater metaphorically represents the world outside; it reflects all the drama-taking place outside the asylum. This burnt out theater merges these two unlikely worlds together. The first, the outside world which Is set in the Vietnam War era, and then the patients world inside the asylum indicating madness. The use of these dramatic techniques creates re-occurring motifs playing a major role in the meaning and message that Louis Nowra is trying to portray. In Act One, scene three the play begins in the darkness as Lewis shows his journey to enlightenment. Responders are shown “Lewis’ lack of control over the patients and his inability to fit in” he questions the “madness” he finds himself in. The re-occurring motif of darkness is shown in...

...Through the exploration of a pair of texts composed in different contexts one can observe the significance of the ability of texts with varied form and context to still present and reflect similar values. A Room of One’s Own (hereafter AROO), a polemic, by Virginia Woolf and the play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf (hereafter WAVW) by Edward Albee both address gender inequality and truth and illusion even though their contexts and form starkly contrast. An analysis of similar themes will provide a greater understanding of meanings and perceptions of the texts. AROO, written in the post-war period of the late 1920s, was composed in a time of great social change due to the destruction and turmoil of the War. Modernist writing highlights the absence of, and search for, meaning and features experiments with new forms. Loss and absence lie at the heart of Woolf’s art, resulting from the experience of loss as an adolescent – her half sister, father, brother and mother. Her refusal to give one single view of anything, offering instead multiple, often conflicting views which the reader has to balance and bring together is another modernist trait. In contrast, WAVW was written in a far more conservative context, and although Albee does challenge societal roles, he does it in a more blatant way. Written during a time of Cold War tension, where fear and instability was disguised beneath the facade of the Great American Dream, Albee is still able to paint a dystopian image of the stereotyped...

...The exploration of the connectedness between texts enhances an understanding of text’s textual integrity. This is evident within William Shakespeare’s ‘King Richard Third’ and Al Pacino’s docudrama ‘Looking For Richard’, where composers portray, through literary and film techniques, texts which reveal to their respective audiences valuable insights into their differing contexts. ‘Looking For Richard’ is based on ‘King Richard Third’ and adapts Shakespeare’s values to a modern context. Exploration of connections between the texts enhances the understanding of the values and contexts of each text. Connections enhances context, character and perspective as these values intensify connections. Through exploring context and character connections between texts, new perspectives of each text are possible, creating textual integrity. Richard Third - Context Richard Third was written to a superstitious Elizabethan audience. It was written as pro-Tudor propaganda, whereby the representation of Richard as a sly and deformed character perpetuates the Tudor Myth, within the context of the War of the Roses. Richard exudes traits of a Machiavellian villain, with imagery exaggerating Richard as a “Deformed, unfinished” man who was “Sent before his time” in order to maintain his discontent. Furthermore, Richards evil characterization and relentless pursuit of power is highlighted to his audience through his opening soliloquy “since I can not prove to be a lover….. I am determined to prove...

...Literature Review Page 9 Abstract Children’s freedom to play outdoors and have no limitations is somewhat controversial in this day in age. There are numerous views whether outdoor play is actually beneficial or not, when it comes to discussing children’s learning and development. In recent government documents such as The Early Years Foundation Stage (2012), references are made about outdoor play and its importance for children regardless of the weather. Potentially, there is an adventure to be made every day when a child takes the classroom outside, and no where offers more potential. Allowing parents and practitioners to learn about the advantages of risk taking but also explore the big wide world can help children gain a better insight and knowledge of world they live in. The outdoor area changes with the seasons therefore presented with more spontaneous challenges resulting in developing the children holistically. This research study is small scale and intends to focus on the importance of outdoor play for young children but also investigate what knowledge and understanding both parents and practitioners have on the chosen subject. The case study will be carried out within a day nursery setting. The researcher intended to gain a wider understanding of the chosen topic – outdoor play, and the views of this within the setting but also see how the setting responds to the Government framework The Eely Years...

...Berne achieved with Games People Play in 1964. Despite the numerous literary accomplishments of Games, Harris felt that he could simplify Berne’s theories even more and make them more accessible to a wider audience. My interest in the subject emanated from a course in interviewing skills and effective communications that I enrolled in at Northern Virginia Community college years ago. According to his biography, Harris began writing the book in 1967. Using Transactional Analysis as a foundation for his book, he developed four possible life positions. • I’m not OK – You’re OK • I’m OK – You’re not OK • I'm not OK, You're not OK and • I'm OK, You're OK Dr. Harris selected I'm OK, You're OK for the title because it is the position one should strive to achieve. I have found that the reaction of people to a management problem is difficult to anticipate. However, we can predict the kind of responses our interventions may evoke from people. I found that a reasonable answer can be found with the help of transactional analysis. When people interact in assertive or non-assertive ways, one person responds to another in a social transaction. Harris as transactional analysis identifies the study of these social transactions between people. It is a method of analyzing and understanding behavior. ERIC BERNE developed transactional analysis for psychotherapy in the 1950s. Transactional Analysis became popular by Berne’s book ‘Games People Play (1964)’, the...

And, fort building certainly constitutes play. Looking at academic and intellectual skills, researchers agree that both play an important role in a child’s development. However, more evidence arises to indicate that a heavier emphasis on inborn intellectual dispositions in the early years reaps better long-term results. What does this mean to parents? Academic skills expect children to master elements of disconnected information. Drills and worksheets may ring familiar to parents and children alike.

...State University Dr. Robert W. Lion 06 October 2013 Abstract Organizational Intelligence can play an important role in developing business values and purpose. Understanding the obstacles surrounding an organization helps us to take action to correct issues that may arise. In this paper, I will briefly touch on Organizational Intelligence, Business Model Logic, and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Introduction Organizational Intelligence (OI) is applied in all organizations to enhance the understanding of managerial processes and resources within the business. Organizations need to understand the barriers that surround them and be able to take the necessary actions to remove them. OI can be definitely, measured, and used to successfully achieve performance improvement when applied. OI can be characterized by various aspects of individual intelligence, cooperate knowledge, and support systems. Business Logic Model Business Logic Model refers to the logic of the organization, how it operates, and creates value for its consumers. Another term that can be used is a company’s stagey. “The firm’s logic for creating and commercializing value” (Osterwalder et al., 2005).To look into Business Logic Model we should first look at our business or service we provide and determine goals and how can we get them accomplished. Look into our customer base and decide what the customer values. Once we have gotten to know our customers then we can look at how we will deliver to them at a cost...

...influenced by the culture that you were raised in. This cultural influence gives you the understanding of the meaning of words, gestures, time and space issues as well as rules of human relationships in your culture. Intercultural communication is not just translating a message from one language to another but rather understanding how people from other cultures, communicate and comprehend the world around them. Culture plays a significant role when it comes to communicating in the business world. All over the world different countries conduct business in a way that reflects their national norms. For instance, a gesture from your culture may be considered respectful, but for another culture it may be considered a sign of disrespect. Recognizing cultures that are different than your own when communicating in business is very important, the lack of knowledge and understanding of a culture can inhibit you from developing relationships. To become more efficient in business communication you have to accept multiple culture and adapt to their terms. Countries that have deep rooted beliefs will reject sudden changes in values when pressured from foreigners. I define culture as a logical shared system of attitudes, beliefs, values, and behavioral norms. When adapting to any business culture, never assume that the people in the culture will act the same way, talk, or have the same set of values that you have. Don’t pass judgment about people’s cultures and come to conclusions that...

...The analysis of works of literature allow readers to identify the author’s views and certain values that were at play during the writer’s life. By lending a critical eye to the play Oedipus Rex, the reader is able to understand various values of Greek culture. A study of the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, reveals Sophocles’ views on important cultural value of Greek society. It is evident that Sophocles shared the same views regarding women that the rest of his culture did as well as the idea that the gods played a large part in daily life; however, Sophocles satirized the Greek value of kleos, the glory one receives. In Ancient Greek society women were seen as inferior, Sophocles uses the treatment of Jocasta and her daughters as a way to...
