No one was able to think clearly. In a matter of seconds, people started screaming and running in different directions, pushing and trampling on whoever had fallen on the ground. No one had the time to take anything with them. Everyone just ran to save his or her life. Mothers lost their children, whose confused, sad cries coincided with the gunshots. Families were separated and left behind everything they had worked for their whole lives”(p. 23). This quotation...

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. The major social, economic and technological change was the Industrial Revolution between the 1760’s and 1850’s in Great Britain, spreading through Europe, United States, Japan and Australia between 1800’s and 1900’s. Industrialisation processes dominate factory-based manufacturing and the use of mechanical aid. This marked...

...and making a statement through the theme that a society without laws and law enforcement will inevitably fail. This is shown through the society the boys on the island create, initially they have their innocence and live in harmony but without rules their society soon falls and the children's innocence turns to evil. Another book with an underlying argument is “Animal Farm”. This book is giving a warning about the fallacy of the idea of communism and that an uninformed working class will always easily fall into manipulation. Lastly another example is a children's text and now movie “The Lorax”. This text shows that without regard for our environment and without taking care of it, we will end up living in a dump. This is shown through the Lorax’s warning to The Onceler to not cut down the trees, and once he does the environment around them is...

...In elaborating, the analysis of Nora’s character, one may dwell on two negative factors. First, irresponsible though Nora might be, nothing at first suggests that she was the woman to consider walking out of the house a trivial matter. For instance, she seems to truly care about her husband saying, “The trip was to save my husband’s life. I couldn’t give that up” (Qtd in Jacobus, 715). Second, in depicting Nora’s character with an almost derogatory manner, Ibsen gave no hint that she was either, in the commonly accepted sense, a frivolous woman, fundamentally capricious and capable of anything; there seems to be no incoherence in her personality. What, then, drove this somewhat feather-headed, but sound and home-loving young woman to the grave act of abandoning home, husband and children? The term ‘home-loving’, liberally interpreted, may point to the answer. Though apparently unstayed by religion, Nora’s is a deeply passionate and devoted heart: “I’d bee a wood nymph and dance for you in the moonlight” (Qtd in Jacobus, 719). The keynote is firmly struck before one knows anything about her crime, which after all was committed from unreflecting passionate love of her husband: Helmer asks where Nora would be financially if a tile blew off the roof and knocked his brains out, and she replies that she cares not where she would be if he were not with her. It is inconceivable to her that her feelings should not be absolutely shared. Helmer may have his funny ways in pulling her up...

...correlation between responsibility and success. And, as a result, when life’s misfortunes arise—and they always will—their first knee-jerk reaction is to blame other people or circumstances for their own personal woes. This, in turn, only compounds the problem by making the person feel as if they are a victim: powerless, helpless, and unable to change themselves or control any future condition. Consider the words of Steven Reiss, Ph.D. (2010), “We live in an era where few people are held responsible for their misbehavior. From elementary school children who don't do homework to oil company CEOs who engage in criminal behavior, the consequences often seem to fall on the system rather than on the people who actually misbehaved.” Common sense tells us that if you do not make a child accountable for the homework he neglects to do, he will not feel the need to change his behavior anytime soon. Additionally, if parents do not give their children simple chores around the house, or make them accountable for misdeeds, those children eventually become lazy, unmotivated, and ungrateful....

...parent who has gone through this time of where masculinity is the key to your success. Through this written task, the aim is to inform the readers “3 most damaging words you can tell your son” and it how it affects the children. The intended audience for this textual analysis would be parents who try and tell their children to grow up and stop whining. This type of analysis could be found online particularly on blogs that have a direct link to the video. In my written task, logos is the most effective stylistic device. For example, the statement “90% of students wrote pain and anger,” as a feeling they have oppressed due to societies influence on them. This statement makes the reader aware of the troubles they are putting their children though in order to raise them, as society wants them to turn out, engaging them to think of their past encounters with their children. The stimulus text for this piece was a three minute video titled “the 3 most damaging word to tell your son,” as it was a direct relationship with our current unit of representation of masculinity in the media. Another stimulus text that I looked at was a blog site to find the conventions into writing a blog article. Word Count – 253 words Written Task Over the course of countless decades, we’ve seen what is wanted out of the women, but lets look at the flip side, what does society expect from the males and the way this expectation has shaped their development. Through this textual analysis of this three...

...founder has visioned there is a personal animosity amongst the family siblings * While the vision was being created a SUCCESSION PLAN should have also been initiated but instead it wasn’t therefore causing a confusion of who is better suited to run the business. Because in family business you can’t have favoritism against fairness. * SIBLING RIVALRY due to selfish motives. * Concern for personal interest instead of business interest which is a selfish trait * There is a GAP IN COMMUNICATION. The actual cause of the gap would be from the top that is from the founder who is Barry Sr. and resulting in miscommunications amongst the children. Another reason being that the age factor amongst them is vast therefore they didn’t even have a personal communication also, so having a business communication was far from the case. * Due to gap of communication there is lack of unity amongst the family members. For example Barry Jrs. Mom went against him too. II. Summarize the facts of the case:- Barry Bingham, Sr. decided sell his family business that had stood running in the family for nearly 70years.

...Analysis of "Tell the women that we are going" The narrator in "tell the women that we are going" is a third person omniscient narrator with Bills point of view½. I can sees that it is a third person narrator form Bills point of view on page 222 line 28" Bill was thinking how Jerry was getting to be deep, the way he stared all the time and hardly did any talking at all." Here I get a clear example of that the point of view is from Bills perspective. That will say that we know all about what Bill is thinking, felling, his background, see and do. All of this is shown in the shot story, a example is on page 221 first line to line 6 same page, another example is on page 226 line 36 and the following two sentences. Where I get to know what Bill are thinking about the two girls. The narrator do not describe the persons outer in detailed, but the physical environment is describe in more detail, for an example on page 225 line 34 where a mountain is describe, " a hundred yards off the road was a high, sloping, black mound of rock, part of a low range of hills, honeycombed with footpaths and small caves, Indian sign-painting here and there on the cave walls.". The third person narrator do not present Bill thoughts directly, but throw what Jerry is telling and what the person is telling as a narrator. Beside the indirect thoughts I also hear some of the dialogues between Jerry and Bill. In the short story there is two main character, there is Bill and Jerry. Bill is the point of...
