"The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and "The Story of an Hour," by Kate Chopin, are similar, in that both women in the two stories are subordinated by their husbands, which causes them to feel an intense desire for freedom. It is a time when women whose husbands have decent income are expected to be fragile. However, the women in the stories have different life changes and different responses to their own freedom as a result of their life changes. The subordination of women in "The Story of an Hour" and "The Yellow Wallpaper," in comparison one can identify that both females lived during the same era. For Gilman, in "The Yellow Wallpaper" the conventional nineteenth-century middle-class marriage, with its rigid distinction between the "domestic" functions of the female and the "active" work of the male, ensured that women remained second-class citizens. John's assumptio

For many years, newspapers have reported on the news and various issues all around the world and here in Australia. The article written by Mr. Brad Norington, Washington correspondent for the Australian Newspaper, on the 2nd of August 2010 "Dose WikiLeaks vigilante denies having blood on his hands over disclosures". Although there are no legislative laws, here in Australia, (cited in Butler & Rodrick, p.27) "there is no necessary connection between reputation and truth". Around what is printed in the Australian media, there are ethical (online dictionary, Random House), defines ethics as: "a system of moral principles". principals that have been published by the Australian Press Council which will be defined in this paper at a later point. There is no empirical evidence in this paper. Empirical is defined by (Germov & Poole, p. 23) as "knowledge is derived from, and can be tested by, the gathering of data or evidence". The paper can also be perceived as misleading as there is no way t

The film "The Lady with the Dog" is based on the short story by Anton Chekhov. The story deals with an affair between a Russian man and woman. One of the main characteristics in this story is that the author designs the settings not only to help the audiences understand what is going on in the present, but also to foreshadow what will happen in the future. Dmitri Gurov, who is under forty years old, goes to Yalta which is located in southern Russia to have a vacation alone. He is a married man with three children, a daughter and two sons. In general, he is dismissive of the other sex, referring to them as the "lower race," but he cannot live without them. One day he meets a woman named Anna Sergeyevna who has a white Pomeranian dog. She is also married and comes from St Petersburg to vacation in Yalta alone as well. She has an affair with Dmitry and falls in love with him. After several days, they go back to their respective homes: Dmitry in Moscow and Anna in St. Petersburg. In Moscow

Jamie Foxx recently made a movie, demonizing the antebellum South and the land and peoples of my ancestry once again, providing an occasion for racial agitation between blacks and whites in America, providing false justification for the invasion and displacement of white men in America by way of illegal immigration, and once again providing occasion for men to blaspheme the social structure given to Moses by Almighty God. I have not seen this movie, but from what I understand from reading and watching his introduction of it on Saturday Night Live, this movie will most likely run along the typical Jacobin-Jesuit party lines. Before one comes to make a moral judgment concerning Southern Slavery, one must come to make a judgment on Philosophy in general. How does one know whether something is right or wrong? Come to think of it, how does one know anything at all? When someone honestly studies the history of Empiricism, he will be left empty handed. Secularists cannot define sensation or s

In my research proposal I have conducted research on "Potheads" and the negative connotation that is associated with the name and the subculture. I believe that being a pothead is looked down upon in mainstream society due to how media interprets this specific subculture. Potheads are people who smoke weed in groups or by themselves. There are many people that use it for medicinal purposes and religious purposes but they are still considered Potheads. According to Dictionary.com a Pothead is "a person who habitually smokes Marijuana." It is what makes them a subculture, the subculture of smoking weed. My research has a lot of importance to help shed some light on the typical stereotypes of what a Pothead really is. The way the media portrays being a Pothead does not account for everyone who smokes weed. If we continue to be ignorant about this specific subculture then we will never truly learn to understand each other not only as a community but also as a country. Being fully functional and smoking weed, as Potheads do, is completely attainable and with this research paper I would like to address that. Pot, which has a very close

The 1960's brought jet travel, The Beatles and the first moon landing. This new futuristic, youth-like mentality did away with the constraint of the 50's housewife. A sudden shift took place in the 60's towards being youth oriented. This sudden up raw started in London and is also known as the "youth quake." The days of tightly boned silhouettes and high stiletto heels were banished by the innovative designs of Andre Courreges. Courreges' designs proved to be his response to the coming way of life and sexual revolution. Born March 9th, 1923 in Pau, Pyrenees Atlantiques, and Courreges studied engineering at Ecole des Pont et Chaussees in Paris. Later on he worked as a chief cutter for Cristobal Balenciaga from 1950 to 1961. After working 10 years at the house of Balenciaga Courreges left with his wife as well as ex-Balenciaga employee, Coqeline to start his own business. Courreges believed that the fashion being made for women wasn't really practica

Colonial America began as people from Europe chose to journey to the New World. These immigrants were searching for the tales of opportunity as well as escape the grasp of the king and the Church of England. As the population increased in the New World, so did the need of a larger and more broad labor force. The southern colonies in America typically needed more manual labor to farm rice, indigo, tobacco, and needed people to work the robust plantations. As a result of the increase in the demand for more manpower several different methods were used to acquire people from Europe to America. The head right system, indentured servitude, and eventually slavery were used successfully to jump start the southern colonies economy along with forming a social structure. During the 17th and 18th centuries, countless numbers of immigrants, mostly from Europe, sold themselves into bondage in exchange for passage to America. Drifters, drunks, and orphans were kidnapped or deceived by English rec

Well-known director Krzysztof Kieslowski, has stated that he dislikes making films but appreciates the life they've allowed him to live. Kieslowski was born in Warsaw, Poland, on June 27, 1941. His father was ill for most of his life and when he was 16, his father died at the age of 47. At this time, Kieslowski had no idea what he wanted to do with his life so he decided to try being a fireman. However, the discipline that position required didn't suit him, so he dropped out. Kieslowski's uncle told him about The College for Theater Technicians in Warsaw, and Kieslowski enrolled, having no other direction for his life. Once in college, he fell in love with theater and decided to become a director. In order to enter the program, he first had to complete studies in another field, so he chose film directing because he thought it would relate well to theater work. Kieslowski failed his entrance exams to Lódz Film School two successive years. When orders for him to sign on for service in WWII came his way, he p

Ethan Frome takes place in Massachusetts in the late-19th century. The film relates the sad story of reclusive farmer Ethan Frome. Considering himself too long for romance, he enters into a loveless marriage with a wealthy but spiteful young women name Zeena. Things become nearly unendurable when Zeena becomes an invalid, imperiously seeking her husband's attentions day and night. Ethan seeks solace in an affair with Zeena's pretty cousin Mattie, who has arrived to act as housekeeper. In this essay I will discuss the tension between Zeena and Mattie characters, Ethan's passion for Mattie and a comparison with the book and film. In the book and film, the four main characters are the narrator, Ethan, his wife, Zeena and Mattie, the house assistant. The narrator of the novel notices a cripp

The story of debt, which dates back to pre-historic times, has been deeply connected into our way of life from history and literature. With financial and economic crises, Margaret Atwood in her Article "Debtor's Prism", seeks to bring the origin and historical development of debt. In her book, Margaret is hidden metaphors are revealing, "We get into a prison, swamp, or well, or possibly a bed, we get out of it, as it, as it coming into the open air climbing out of a hole, if we are overwhelmed by debt, the image is possibly that of a foundering ship, with the sea and the waves pouring inexorably in on top of physical activity: jumping in, leaping or clambering out, trashing around, drowning". (Atwood , Margaret)Margaret Atwood considers failing to come out of debt because of being overwhelmed by it. She associates this with the image of being stuck out at sea in the middle of a heavy storm, with the waves bearing heavily down causing us to drown to the bottom of the sea

Define the Etiology of the Diagnosis: Epilepsy is a disorder manifested by a variety of symptom complexes. It is characterized by recurrent sudden or periodic attacks of unconsciousness or impaired consciousness that may be followed by contraction or relaxation resulting in alternating tonic and clonic movements of the muscles or abnormal behavior. It is a disorder of the CNS in which the neurons or never cells discharge in an abnormal way which can affect one part of the brain or the entire brain by itself. Non-convulsive epilepsy or absence, seizures often are recognized when an intelligent child is referred for medical evaluation because of unexplained failure to achieve in school. The reason for school failure is found to be absence seizures, which cause temporary loss of awareness that result in lack of continuity in the learning environment. Describe the Growth and Developmental Tasks Ascribed to this Age Level: According to Erickson's theory of development of growth the

Identification fraud is a crime that is committed frequently by persons under the age of 21. This fraud has been rapidly increasing over the past decade due to the growth advancing in technology. Being under the age of 21, I have seen the possession and use of Fake Identification Cards (fake id's) frequently among my peer group. The most common use of them is to purchase alcohol and be admitted into bars and/or clubs. I have found it intriguing how these cards are produced and how genuine they look. My curiosity led me to ponder on what the consequences some of my peers would encounter if they were convicted of identification fraud and why it is so common. As it tur

The set text that will be analyzed comes from the book, "How Things Work: A Book for Young People and Their Families". This text is an introduction to a larger text of the entire book, the writer has used simplified language and has supported his texts with images of mechanical experiments that you will discover (a maze of components that gives you few clues to the way on which the machine carries out a task.) The writer has used both of these components to not only allow the reader to feel that they have built a relationship with the writer but to continue to maintain the readers interest through the entire text of the book. The reader is instantly told what the text is about when read the title (How Things Work), as the reader continues to explore the text of the title (How Things Work) they will begin to realize that the focus on (How Things Work) is based around experimentation of making models and to "build real machines". The introduction of this book questions the reader in the firs

On Tuesday, February 19, 2013, Barack Obama, President of the United States, presented his State of the Union Address to a joint session of the United States Congress. President Obama began the speech describing several goals that nation already reached - such as businesses having created more than six million jobs, people buying more American cars and our use of less foreign oil. Furthermore, Democrats and Republicans have been working to reduce the deficit more than $ 2.5 trillion dollars through spending cuts and raising the taxes of the wealthiest in America. Additionally, he stated that the housing market is finally h

An established democracy has two main parts. They need to have free and fair elections and they should also have equal voting rights. When free and fair elections occur it means the absence of barriers to the full participation of all citizens, without any form of discrimination; the absence of any form of intimidation (What is a "free and fair" election). The term equal voting rights means to be able to have equal access to the voting process. Based on free and fair elections and equal voting rights, the following nations are ranked; one being the best and four being the worst; Germany, South Africa, Colombia and Saudi Arabia. Germany is an established democracy because they have elections every for years for the person they want to run the country. But at the same time the citizens also have to vote for the party they want to run the region. To be able vote in Germany that person has to eighteen years old and they have to at least live in Germany for three months (German

For generations, it has been said and proven that the presence of both parents within the household cultivates a young child and prepares them for the future. The mother's role in the life of her children is to nurture and help them develop into fully functioning adults. The father, leader of the family, is the provider and disciplinarian. He's most influential in the lives of his children, exemplifying a positive male figure for which they can observe and model from. However, when the family is deprived of the father their lives, they are denied vital lessons and experiences needed in the development of the children and erodes the family structure. The absence of the African American male in the household negatively affects the lives of his family. Without a father figure guiding the child, the son is susceptible to the abominations of the world for direction. The daughter tends to cling to her interpretation of a positive male, which i

People usually pay more attention to the positive side of the American dream, even though it is likely that this will put the real life at risk. The reality is an important element and fundamental to have a dream; if people decide to pursue dreams without considering reality or try to achieve dream without putting in enough effort, the consequences will be disastrous. We also need to be confronted with failure rather than escape when we suffer from failure. In this essay, by analyzing Thomas and Ned's failure in these two stories, and explaining details from my experience of failure in high school, I will explore importance of reality within the American dream. These leanings help me to adjust my attitudes toward my own dreams and my motivations to make my dreams come true. In terms of choices, people deserve the consequences of choices when they decide their own ways to achieve the dreams. If we think and decide to make dreams come true without considering reality, the consequ

Diverticulitis is small outpouchings creating inflammation along the wall of the colon or large intestine. Diverticulosis can occur anywhere in the colon, but is most common in the sigmoid colon, (the S-shaped part of the colon), it is not considered Diverticulitis until it becomes inflamed or infected. The cause of the sacs or pouches is not precisely known, although eating a low-fiber diet is one of the most likely causes. By eating mostly processed foods, as many Americans eat, you do not get enough fiber in your diet. Processed foods include white bread, white rice, crackers, pretzels, and most breakfast cereals. A key factor furthering the formation of diverticulosis is elevated pressure within the colon. The pressure within the colon is raised when you form constipation, and have to push down to pass small, hard bits of stool, frequently known as "rabbit droppings." Your pouches became obstructed producing inflammation and infection, causing your diverticulitis. The

Ever since I was little, the same question has been asked to me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" When I was at the age of four the answer might have been an astronaut or a football player but times have changed. As time progressed it changed to an architect, then to a police officer, and all different types of jobs as I got to college I really started to think about what I want to do. It ranged very much. I wanted to study criminal justice and become a police officer. Then wanted to start my own restaurant. But now I believe my dream occupation after all these years would have to be an athletic director. The two things I love to do most are to watch and play sports as well as be a leader. An athletic dire

According to USAtoday.com, President Obama is planning on cutting our military budget by close to a trillion dollars in the next decade. The new military strategy includes $487 billion in cuts and an additional $500 billion in cuts could be coming if Congress follows through on plans for deeper reductions. These cuts could cripple the military power that we have over the world. Cutting money from our ground forces, air forces, or naval forces will have grave effects on our national security. The United States has roughly 1.7 million ground troops, counting reserves, spread out in over 150 countries. We can have boots on the ground within a few hours notice in just about any country in the world. Budget cuts will cause the US military to become smaller, which means th
