...John Galt was born in Irvine, Ayrshire on the 2nd of May. Growing up he recieved his education in Irvine and Greenock. Galt began to study law at Lincoln's Inn, London. In 1809 he set out on a tour of three years to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. During his tour he was accompanied by George Gordon, Lord Byron, whom he later wrote a biography about. In the following years Galt had a total of 40 publications, from novels to art critisism, until his death in 1839. Galt's novels generally invole the important concerns of his times, and they are important as contributions to the development of the realistic Scottish novel, enhanced by local color derived from minute details of village life day-to-day and a generous use of vernacular speech (Mudge 104-114). Galts characters are very unique. They do not show the slightest resemblance to heroes or heriones. The method he used to write strictly excluded the centralization of interest on the description and action of lovers (Dublin University Magazine). To many authors lovers are useful to them when writing, but Galt saw them as hindrances to his art. His men and women are turthful men and women, surrounded in all their natural life-like manners and actions, with simple incidents (Dublin University Magazine). Some argue that his male characters are reflections of each other in every book just placing them in different situations. Galt based his characters on the successes and failures of man and show that he deeply...

...Atlas Shrugged “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine.” This is the oath one must swear by in order to make it into the exclusive John Galt highly intellectual society. John Galt is a character in the book “Atlas Shrugged” who is the creator and inventor and is a symbol to the power and glory of the human mind. The people who become a part of his society believe that taking care of oneself is more important than being humanitarians and providing support to those who need it. In Galt’s society there are no issues with money. There are no worries about the government taking and spending our hard earned money on war, illegal immigrants, and welfare. If only real life were this simple. However, this is a state of living that is simply not feasible. This never has happened or never will happen in my lifetime. To begin refuting this view of Any Rand, I think it is necessary to analyze the core value that is overwhelmingly displayed in Rand: Selfishness. Rand makes no secret of her selfishness. She thinks the world would be a better place if everyone was selfish. However, she also thinks that any infrastructural and economic progress shouldn’t come out of our taxes, but instead we should rely on the wealthy to make donations in the name of selflessness. That seems very contradictory to what she preaches, as well as very unlikely. Rand supports greed. The greedy won’t have...

...Born on December 28, 1856 in Staunton, Virginia, Wilson soon moved to Augusta, Georgia. He was taught at home. In 1873, he went to Davidson College but soon dropped out due to health issues. He entered the College of New Jersey which is now called Princeton in 1875. He graduated in 1879. Wilson studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1882. He soon decided to go back to school and become an educator. He earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from Johns Hopkins University.

He was opposed not only by incumbent President William Taft but also by Bull Moose candidateTheodore Roosevelt. The Republican...

...to the music of her favorite artist, Richard Hayley. Hayley’s fourth concerto, the one that she is listening to, elicits a feeling of rebellion. A struggle to break free of the pain as rand describes it. I believe that the “pain” is referring constrictions placed on people freedoms and ability to express them and do what they want, regardless of repercussions. She goes on to say “the worst pain for those who will not accept its necessity” alluding the punishments placed on those who attempt to free themselves of such constraints. The concerto screams the idea of NO. NO to the fiscal policies that choke the “free” economy, NO to the leash of ethical restraints cuffed on scientific development, and NO to the opaque screen of censorship falsifying artistic “expression.” The concerto is the clanging sound of the iron links that make up the shackles to which Hayley and visionaries alike are bound by. I predict that the anger and frustration that is derived from Hayley’s concerto is the climax that ultimately induces the indifferent denouement that is the phrase, “who is John Galt.” ...

...Case Study Write Up: GE’s Two Decade Transformation: Jack Welch’s Leadership Teri Raven, EMBA 709 “GE’s Two-Decade Transformation” analyzes the leadership of Jack Welch, CEO of General Electric. When he took over GE as CEO in 1981, Jack Welch had big shoes to fill. His predecessor, Reg Jones, had been referred to as a “management legend” and been voted “CEO of the Year” and “CEO of the Decade” 3 and 1 times, respectively. Jones had led the company for 8 years and had done well both professionally and politically. Upon his initiation as CEO in 1981, the Wall Street Journal had already likened Welch’s replacing Jones to replacing a legend with a “live wire.” The business climate was shaky when Welch took over in April 1981, with the economy in recession. Welch had only one option: success. And to achieve success in the current climate, he would need his team to be “better than the best.” In fact, the choices were to be #1, #2, or nothing at all. He soon used this philosophy in his categorization of businesses into core, high-technology, and services. Welch’s 10 year vision was to lead GE to a state in which it would be viewed as “the most profitable, highly diversified company on earth, with world quality leadership in every one of its product lines” (Bartlett/Wozny); he sought to achieve this via a massive restructuring of the business. His philosophy of “fix, sell, or close” businesses was born, yet the reality was often that in the economic state of that time,...

...upbringing and home environment is a major cause for child obesity. Through the past few decades, childhood obesity is on the rise and it now a very hot topic of debate. Like any other disease or condition, child obesity also has its factors. The most common and influencing factor is home environment. Other factors include diet, genetics, the lifestyle, culture and even physiological issues. Children have no sense of health and being obese. They are often unaware of the long term damage it may do to their bodies. The problem with our cultures is that parents are also unaware of the risks attached with obesity. They themselves do not keep a healthy diet. Therefore they are not watchful of what their children eat. Obese children are often those who become overweight adults. This is an ongoing cycle in which no one cares what the other person is eating. Obesity is the root of majority of the diseases and it often leads to death. So it is better to control it during childhood, when it is just the start. The children of today have a very different lifestyle as compared to our ancestors. It is the reason that child obesity is a new term and concept for the elderly people. Most of the day is spent in school. Then there is homework and computer for the rest of the time. The little time that is still left is dedicated to the television. There is no physical exercise involved in the daily routine of the average American child. Also, as the pace of the world has become so fast, parents are...

...Hannah Ross February 27, 2017 APUSH DBQ In the beginning of the nineteenth century, Americans started to focus on the welfare of minority groups. Women’s suffrage, abolition, and asylum and prison reform became hot topics during the Second Great Awakening, a movement that took place in the early 1800s. The Second Great Awakening was headed by religious leaders who sought out changes in American society through uniting the American people (Doc. B). Due to the Second Great Awakening, reform movements were established between 1825 and 1850 to represent the changes American people sought for in the matters of slavery, suffrage, and asylum and prison reform. Nat Turner’s rebellion, occurring in 1831, changed dynamics of slavery in America....

...Serial killers are not new; there have been many accounts of serial killers in past ages and in many different places around the world, so it's not just a part of one unique nation or time period. For example, one of the earliest recorded cases of serial murder was Locusta of Galt of the Roman Empire, who preferred the method of poison and was highly rewarded. But not enough information was recorded about her as to know how many people she killed and the span of years the killings took place. And there has been some discussion as to whether or not people like Lacousta were "serial killers", since by modern standards, the definition is different. But the intent to kill is there. The most typical example of the modern day Serial killer is "Jack...

...REFERENCE, DENOTATION, AND CONNOTATION (A STUDY of SEMANTIC) This paper is arranged to fulfill the assignment of SEMANTIC Lecturer: Kurniawan, M.Hum Arranged by: Novi Dyah Ayu Sri M : 26.09.6.2.124 Rifqi Syafiatul Hidayah : 26.09.6.2.140 Sayekti Pujilestari : 26.09.6.2.147 ENGLISH EDUCATION DEPARTEMENT INSTITUTE OF ISLAMIC COLLEGE SURAKARTA 2012 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Introduction Arcnoff and Miller (2003:370) says that semantics focuses on theories of meaning which apply to sentences that make statements, and are taken to be either true are false. This assumption shows that there is relationship between linguistic expression and the world which is at the core of linguistic meaning. By contrast with most other work in semantics, the functional-systemic linguistics of Halliday (1967, 1977, and 1978) recognizes not only ideational and interpersonal meaning, but also textual meaning. It associates various sorts of meaning with choices made all along the way in the production of a sentence in a text. Geoffrey Leech in his ‘Semantic- A Study of meaning’ (1974) breaks down meaning into seven types or ingredients giving primacy to conceptual meaning. The Seven types of meaning according to Leech are as follows: Conceptual or Denotative Meaning, Connotative Meaning, Social Meaning, Affective or Emotive Meaning, Reflected Meaning, Thematic Meaning. Almost all of the words of a language have a conceptual meaning. There are words that have more than one...

...28, 1856 at Staunton, Virginia; one of four children to Joseph Ruggles Wilson and Janet Wilson as Thomas Woodrow Wilson. Initially lived for only at year at Staunton; the family moved to Augusta, Georgia until 1870 moving to Columbia then Wilmington in 1784. Woodrow (who would later drop his first name Thomas/Tommy) got his early education from a few ex-Confederate soldiers who set up some schools after the Civil war and his father who taught him religion, literature and British history. In the year 1873, at sixteen years of age, Wilson attended Davidson College, North Carolina for only one year due to his health and concerns at home. 1875, he attended a College of New Jersey (better known as Princeton University) which he later graduated in 1879. That same year he would study law in the University of Virginia but would end up leaving during the second year due to personal reasons. He would continue his study of law on his own accord after returning home of Wilmington, North Carolina. Year 1882, he set up a legal practice with a friend from the University of Virginia and later passed the Georgia Bar Exam. However, he became tired with the practice of law; he decided to continue his education and attended at John Hopkins University, Baltimore. There he was enrolled as a graduate student in history and political science and earned his PH.D in 1886. With his research study, he made the dissertation known as Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics. In it, Wilson argued...

...own, and the discussion never seems to end. Cyber-forums can’t even mention this book without provoking hundreds of rancorous posts among people who are still personally involved in the developments surrounding the break between Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden and Barbara Branden. It’s as if the War of ‘68 is still raging. I was fortunate when I came to the study of Ayn Rand. I was eight years old when Rand and the Brandens went their separate ways. I knew none of the principals involved, and didn’t actually discover Rand’s work until nearly ten years later—when I was a senior in high school in 1977. And even after I’d discovered her work, I'd read everything she wrote without the assistance of going to live lectures or attending group meetings of people sitting around a vinyl turntable or an audio-tape player, listening to recordings of said lectures. I eventually listened to the vast bulk of those lectures as background for the preparation of my book, Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical, but even that research was pursued independently. My work was not the product of any assistance from any Objectivist institute or organization. Around 1992, however, as I was researching my book, I began corresponding with, and interviewing, a number of people connected to Ayn Rand and Objectivism. Among these were Nathaniel Branden and Barbara Branden, who read my work and offered extremely important critical commentary on early drafts of Russian Radical. While most Objectivists and fellow travelers...

...Fedmeepidemien i USA Af: Oliver Skeen, 3.t Abstract This paper examines the obesity epidemic in the United States, which has developed into a global epidemic. The main focus of this paper is the special circumstances in the United States, which promotes the epidemic. Furthermore the paper investigates, how the government of the United States can reduce the number of obese people. The paper also the mechanisms in the body, which controls satiety and what role this has to play in the epidemic. This paper concludes, that there is a desperate need of a cultural change especially in the United States if this epidemic is to be stopped. Besides it is important to make a larger effort to give our school the opportunity to provide better information regarding nutrition, healthier school lunches and more physical education. All of these things are possible; there is just a need for more political involvement, but also involvement from the individual human.
