...people know Pluto is laid right behind Neptune the last ‘planet’ behind the sun. Pluto has been around for a long time but still has interesting facts about it being discovered. The discovery of Pluto was very exciting since it was first believed to be a new planet but it was later deemed a dwarf planet. Pluto was first found in the year 1930 by a man named Clyde Tombaugh. Clyde Tombaugh was an astronomer that lived in the United states at the time when he discovered Pluto. The year Pluto was found (1930) the name also needed to be found. Clyde was actually not the person to name the dwarf planet. The namer of Pluto was not even from America but was from England. The namer of Pluto was an 11 year old girl who decided that the greek god, Hades of the underworld, was an acceptable name for the dwarf...

...Abstract Plutus and Pluto, and their placement in the fourth circle of Hell, were originally very confusing for me. After researching for the interactive oral, I had a much better understanding of him because, in Greek mythology, he is the God of wealth and, in Roman mythology, he is the God of the underworld. Pluto, the Roman God, is not only the God of the underworld, but also of the riches. He is placed in the fourth circle of Hell, that of greed and avarice, which makes sense because of the occupants’ sins, which have to do with riches and wealth. Also, the negative association of money and wealth to greed helped me tie in why a God was in Hell, other than the fact that Pluto/Plutus was Roman/Greek and not Christian. This development not only helped me understand why greed was around the middle of Hell, but also why Pluto/Plutus was there. It also connects to the prevalent idea of retribution, or an eye-for-an-eye, because the God of wealth, riches, and the underworld (money and evil) was around greed (evil due to money). My understanding of the retribution idea in The Inferno was also developed substantially through the interactive oral. Originally, it was easy for me to understand that the punishments were retributive; such as those who tried to look into the future will look backwards (to the past) for all eternity; gluttoners are rained upon by vomit (because they regurgitated what they ate), etc.; but what I did not understand was why. What really helped me grasp...

...Introduction The research question is “How has the Greek language influenced the English language?”. We chose language as our subject because we were interested in how people developed a way in which we can communicate orally as well as express and comprehend written thoughts. We think that this topic is worth of study because we will investigate and understand how several English words have been influenced by the Greek language. Numerous words in English have Greek roots. The relevance of the question is to find out how the Greek language influenced and affected the English language. Main Ancient Greek Dialects Different variants of the early Greek alphabet suited to local dialects. There were three major dialects in ancient Greece: Aeolic, Doric and Ionic (of which Attic was a branch). Each of these were from different tribes, the Aeolians lived in the islands of the Aegean, the Dorians, from the Greek coast of Peloponnese, including Crete, Sparta and other parts of West Coast Asia Minor. The Ionians settled in the West coast of Asia Minor including the Smyma. Ancient Greek Language The first Europeans to read and write with an Alphabet were the Ancient Greeks. The Ancient Greek language eventually led to all modern European languages.(In text ) The Greek language has a very long and rich history stretching all the way from the thirteenth century B.C. to the present. Linear B (13th century B.C.) is the earliest form of the language. The first surviving script...

This case study will focus on the impact of industrialisation and consumption and how it has shaped the modern world of a close friend along with society today. The academic sources that were used contained useful information along with an interview I conducted, to help prove and analyse how the impact has changed and shaped the modern world. This case study will cover the way industrialisation has changed society. It will discuss the social, economical and technological changes along with the key changes and how society perceives what work is. In addition it will discuss how society has gone from producing to consuming, how we shopped years ago opposed to now and how this has changed our lives. Literature Review Industrialisation: Industrialisation has transformed the way societies have produced products required to meet societies needs. It has transformed many social institutions such as work, family, social bonds and education. In addition the biggest impact of industrialisation was the change from gathering and cultivating to manufacturing which has drastically improved productivity and wealth.

...natural tendency, especially when the celebrity you are interviewing has had a real impact on your life, may be troublesome. Although, as Clayton (1994) points out, journalists must remember that they cannot be overawed by a Big Name. In his own words, “they are not meeting a celebrity as an adoring fan, but on a business” (1994:60). The aim of this essay is to critically analyze the interviewing process by going throw several interviews with rock stars, considering that the approach taken would be slightly different from that of other interviewees. The interviews examined concentrate on print, but it is impossible to ignore broadcasting (media) as many aspects of the interviews such as occasional silences, body language and questions order what would otherwise be missed. First of all, it is worthy to introduce the myth of the rock community. Frith (1981) stresses the importance of this point because for most rock bands “music is little more than the background sound of activities” (1981:167). According to this author, “in understanding the myth of the rock community we have to understand how the street experience of leisure -dance-hall drunks, doing nothing, tedium and laughs, fighting and male fellow-feeling- has been sentimentalised, distanced, organised into the rock 'n' roll experience” (1981:1981). One of...

...Within the past 100 years organisations have seen significant changes in the markets they operate within. Increasing flexibility, globalisation and fierce competition from emerging economies have been the fundamental drivers modelling the human resource management field to become what it is today. Motivation has always been an issue for many businesses, and the ‘traditional’ methods of attempting to solve this problem have been to slightly increase the employee’s wages, in the hope that they would respond by increasing their effort. However in the UK, nearing the end of the nineteenth century, firms such as Cadburys and Quakers began providing accommodation and education for their workers (Wilton, 2011). This marked the initial shift in the nature of the employment relationship, and drawing on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs it can be seen that this would help satisfy the two basic tiers of ‘psychological’ and ‘safety’ (Maslow, 1954). This essay aims to critically evaluate the concept of the psychological contract, then analyse why in managing the modern day employment relationship and understanding of the psychological contract is important, relevant theories and academic models will be used where appropriate. The question will be addressed in three sections; firstly the concept and history of the psychological contract will be briefly covered, secondly and critical focus will be shown towards the concept of the contract, and finally we will examine the practicality of utilising...

His father was Elias Disney, an Irish-Canadian, and his mother, Flora Call Disney, was German-American. Disney was one of five children, four boys and a girl. He lived most of his childhood in Marceline, Missouri, where he began drawing, painting and selling pictures to neighbors and family friends.

Later, Disney would work a summer job with the railroad, selling snacks and newspapers to travelers. Disney attended McKinley High School in Chicago, where he took drawing and photography classes and was a contributing cartoonist for the school paper.
