This leads his mind into thinking of more disturbing experiments. Though he states he would never would act on any of his more outlandish ambitions.

...national definition, a floret, and a proverb - a berry. Proverbs being the integral attribute of national folklore are the reflection of life of that nation they belong. The correct and pertinent use of proverbs gives unique originality and special expressiveness. Proverbs, being phraseological units with a sentence structure, represent special complexity while being translated from one language on another. In each language there are phrases and expressions which can not be taken literally even if meaning of each word is known and the grammatical design is clear. The sense of such phrase remains unclear and strange. Attempts of a literal translation of proverbs can lead to unexpected, often ridiculous results. That is the reason why the right way of proverbs translation is a big point. Therefore, on the basis of literature analysis, we realized that brightness and appeal of such genre of folklore as proverbs promoted that there is a great number of literatures devoted to the very topic. However, we chose the comparative analysis of English and Russian proverbs. We are also interested in the comparison of English and Russian proverbs in gender aspect, precisely devoted to women. It causes an indisputable urgency and expediency of the presented work. Consequently, the object of the research is devoted to the study of lexicology. The subject of the research is devoted to the English and Russian...

...KAMLA DAS’S `MY STORY’ AND HER STORIES IN HER POEMS:A STUDY Indian English literature has been making great strides during the last few decades thereby attracting the international attention. Infect, the post-independence period in the history of Indian English writing is generally equated with the modern period. It must be said in the light of all considerations that the post independence Indo- English prose and poetry has characteristics which make it distinctive and different from the writing of the earlier period. Indian women poets writing in English from Toru Dutt to Kamala Das reveal the mind boggling variety of themes as well as style that poetry is capable of offering. It needs to be remembered that poetry written by women need not be viewed only as feminist poetry. For the first time in Indian English poetry, the women poets of post- Independence and postmodern period portrayed in a subversive idiom their desires, lust, sexuality and gestational experiences. They enriched Indian English poetry with a wealth of new themes and experience. They developed a new innovative iconoclastic discourse to portray their repressed desires. Thus a new form of feminist poetry emerged and grew to give they Indian English poetry new strength, new diversity and new potent a new signs of maturity The women poets of the present century have surely and confidently come out of the romantic entanglements, of the claptrap of the past tradition and succeeded in formulating a new tradition...

...Critical Analysis In Vitro Fertilization August 19, 2009 Marriages can offer new exciting experiences especially when couples want to start developing a family. For some couples pregnancy is simple and their family begins. For others it isn’t so easy, having children becomes a medical challenge and alternative solutions need to be sought out. One such solution for conception involves using the medical advancement of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) techniques. However, for many this raises a whole batch of ethical dilemmas. IVF brings up dilemmas such as the process itself, when does “life” begin, how many eggs to fertilize, and cryopreservation of embryos. It is an especially difficult decision for those of Christian beliefs as IVF is not widely received within the Christian community and not clearly addressed in the Bible. I first want to take a look at the process itself and what leads a couple, or individual, to this decision. Before we start, we need to define what infertility is. According to The Fertility Center (2009), infertility is the “inability for a couple to conceive after one year of normal intercourse with no contraception”. Facing infertility is not as uncommon as one might believe, according to the Center for Disease Control, “approximately 1.2 million women made infertility related appointments in 2002”. In simpler terms, one in six couples faces infertility related issues at some point during their childbearing...

...METHODOLOGY The objective of this chapter is to define nursing research, analyse methods of research and outline methodological process used to find articles on which to base this extended literature review. In this hypothesis, the reason for literature review is to ascertain whether or not gastric banding is an effective treatment for obesity in young adults as measured by physical functioning. The research process is the step-by-step procedure of developing research paper (Boje, 2001). It normally consists of following stages: detection of the research problem; preparation of search plan; searching and assessing the literature; data collection and evaluation; formulating a research design; and presenting the research findings (Cormack, 1996). The ability of nurses and other health care professionals to locate and identify existing literature on a relevant topic is an essential nursing skill (Burns & Grove, 2003). The sources where they can gain and expand research knowledge from may include personal or specialist experiences and clinical procedures and guidelines (Eccles & Mason, 2001). Before they can be made assessable to health care workers, guidelines and procedures are required to go through rigorous process of dissemination, before they can be made assessable to health care workers to be used in practice (Craig & Smith, 2007). Some of the organisations responsible for underwriting and implementation of clinical guidelines into clinical practice...

...Author, Doris Lessing Doris Lessing the author of ‘Woman On Top Of The Roof’ is a British novelist and short-story writer, whose interest in psychology led her to fictional explorations of madness and self-analysis. Much of her work is concerned with the everyday and inner lives of perceptive, sensitive women. One of her famous books, The Golden Notebook became a classic of feminist literature because of its experimental style and explorations of self, creativity, and feminine identity. However ‘Woman On Top of the Roof’ a much simpler work revolves around the same issue of mild feminism and transcendence. Here a single young woman transcends inspite of aggravation from a male dominated surrounding. She does not allow them to effect her own individuality in this story. Lessing's life has been a challenge to her belief that people cannot resist the currents of their time, as she fought against the biological and cultural imperatives that fated her to sink without a murmur into marriage and motherhood. "There is a whole generation of women," she has said, speaking of her mother's era, "and it was as if their lives came to a stop when they had children. Most of them got pretty neurotic - because, I think, of the contrast between what they were taught at school they were capable of being and what actually happened to them." Lessing believes that she was freer than most people because she became a writer. For her, writing is a process of "setting at a distance," taking the...

...offered her male replacement. (Lister, n.d.) Examples that are similar to, and far worse than the one mentioned, continue to persist in this country. Women continue to be blatantly discriminated against, and held back from deserved promotions while their male counterparts rise through the ranks in corporate America. Women have made great strides in the last few decades toward gaining workplace equality. However, in a continued effort toward moving forward, there needs to be a promotion of empowerment for women and giving them the autonomy needed to manage their own lives. The reality though, is that the phenomenon referred to as the glass ceiling does exist. “The ‘glass ceiling’ can be described as an ‘invisible, but impenetrable barrier which prevents women from reaching senior positions within organizations.” (Brewis & Linstead, as cited in McCarthy & Burn 2013, p. 2). Women face an unseen obstacle in the workplace, despite being well educated and qualified for the various promotions they get passed over for. I am a male who works in a career that is dominated by women, nursing. However, I witness the frequent occurrence of women being treated as less than equal...

...English Literature Before 1790 Essay #21: Assess the role of the female characters in Oroonoko Feminist point of view and psychoanalysis Notes to LCY We change the focus now We talk about how the narrator tells more than stories She portrays 3 things - all paradoxical 1. Her position in the book – the implication of power in society, and her flip to author creating a superior position 2. Her uncertainty over female power – the flip 3. Her subordination (submission) – her paradoxical actions and her will (can also mention what she has seen) Focus on 3 things on how they affect the 3 things it portrays 1. Patriarchy 2. Oppression 3. Stereotyping When the French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir (1973) wrote “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” (p. 301), it raised the idea that instead of any biological, psychological, or economic causes, being a women is purely a social construction in a patriarchal society to oppress women. The use of the word “becomes” implies a voluntary submission that under a patriarchal settings, women embrace the stereotypical norms of what constitutes femininity, hence “become” a woman (Butler, 1986). Under such settings in a parochial society, the birth of Oroonoko highlights the paradoxical traits of female though its display of psychological struggles occurring between the main characters. Oroonoko, commonly regarded as the most famous book by the first English female professional writer Aphra Behn in 1680 (already...

...APPELLANT, v. The STATE OF WASHINGTON and Bob Ferguson, Attorney General of Washington, APPELLEES Unites States Supreme Court. I. Introduction The issue presented in the appeal is whether the State of Washington’s murder statute can proscribe a cryogenic company from cryogenically freezing a living human being who is terminally ill when he requests to be cryogenically frozen in order to save his life. Specifically, the appellant asserts that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause guarantees the right to privacy and acting under no undue influence the right to be voluntarily cryogenically frozen by a cryogenic company one month before his death. Appellant accordingly challenges the constitutionality of RCW 9A.32.030, which makes it a felony to plan, intend and cause the death of another person. We conclude that a terminally ill adult has the right to be voluntarily cryogenically frozen because a cryogenic...

...Just individuals : In his book ‘The Republic’, Plato searches for justice within the individual and what makes a person ‘just’. By comparing his sense of what is just at a political level and what is just at a psychological level he suggests three virtues of the individual which will make that particular person just. The virtues of wisdom, courage and moderation are common to both a just and the fictional just city of Kallipolis. This artificial city has the pre-determined virtue of being just – he does this in order to understand what justice is for the individual because Plato thinks that ‘a just man won’t differ at all from a just city in respect to the form of justice; rather he’ll be like the city.’ (Republic 435b) In the just city Plato creates three classes: the producers, the guardians and the rulers. Each of these three classes has a certain virtue it has to display to fulfill the ‘just city’ pre-requisite that Plato has placed upon Kallipolis. The rulers are required to exhibit wisdom so that ‘a whole city established according to nature would be wise because of the smallest class and part in it, namely the governing or ruling one. And to this class, belongs a share of the knowledge that alone among all the other kinds of knowledge is to be called wisdom.’ (428e-429a) The wisdom enjoyed by the rulers would be used to ensure that the city has ‘good judgement and [be] really wise.’ (428d) The guardians (soldiers) of Kallipolis would be educated in order to absorb...

...The Long Road Out Of Eden A scrutiny of marital relationships and the subsequent consequence on the individuality of women as seen in Astitiva Submitted by: Pavithra Sagar 05D1829 III PSEng Submitted to: Ms. Abhaya Dept. Of Media Studies Christ College “In olden times, sacrifices were made at the altar – a custom which is still continued” Helen Rowland Although marriage might have been instituted in the Garden of Eden when man was in innocence (Gen 2:18-24), marriages are seldom believed to have been made in heaven, unless couples habitually wear rose-tinted glasses. Essentially and realistically, marriage is but a contract or a traditional bargain which is drawn up between men and women. As defined by the World Book Encyclopedia. ‘It is the relationship between a man and a woman who have made legal agreement to live together. When a man and a woman marry, they become husband and wife’. Almost every society has certain traditional ideas about marriage and many roles and duties of the husband and wife are based on religious codes. Most marriage laws that are based on religious edicts favor men. Genesis, the story of creation reveals how God created Man and Woman and placed them in the Garden of Eden. There, they dwelt as equals as both were created in the image of God and thus had undifferentiated roles, duties, shared the same status and their relationship was a ‘partnership of equals’. It was only after the deception of the...

But today there is a drastic change in the way prostitution is viewed. There are demands from every corner about decriminalization of prostitution. In its draft statement ICPR (International Committee For Prostitute’s Rights) states, “Until recently, the women’s movement in most countries has not, or has only marginally, included prostitutes as spokeswoman or theorists. Historically, women’s movement (for example socialist and communist movements) has opposed the institution of prostitution, while claiming to support prostitute women. However, prostitutes reject support that requires them to leave prostitution, they object to being treated as symbols of oppression and demand recognition as workers. Due to feminist hesitation or refusal to accept prostitution as legitimate work and to accept prostitutes as working women, the majority of prostitutes have not been recognised...
