Nature and Humanity in MacbethAs said by Albert Einstein, "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." This can be applied to Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Macbeth is a play about a man who is given a prophecy by three witches which emboldens him to murder the characters in the play that are preventing him from becoming king. Throughout the play, nature runs parallel to the action so that readers effectively understand what is happening in the play. This is obtained through pathetic fallacy, plants, and animals. To start, pathetic fallacy is constantly playing a role and works beside the action in the play to convey a certain emotion. For example, at the start of the play the witches convene near a battlefield. At this time we hear the Second Witch say, "When the hurly-burly's done,/ When the battle's lost and won"(I.i.3). While the "hurly-burly" is referring to the battle between Scotland and Ireland/ Norway taking place behind them, it is also referr |

Advancements of Warfare in WW2After a crushing defeat in World War 1, Germany wanted revenge for how the allies had the right to take away many German territories, pay for all the damages as compensation, and make huge cuts on their army, naval, air force military. This made Germany's main focus between the post WW1 and the beginning of World War 2 on warfare production which gave them an advantage in pretty much every aspect. When the war started the Axis dominated and destroyed countries with their new tactics and guns that nobody knew how to stop. But due to Germany's mistakes all throughout the war and the United States becoming involved leading to new weapons, the Axis powers lost the war. After the war, many warfare strategies and weapons were still used and were building blocks for better warfare in the later decades. Throughout the course of WW2, new weapons and warfare tactics were created on both sides of the war, which lead to global advancement of warfare in the future. During World War 2, many new |

Canada's Law on Sexual AssaultSexual assault can be a very traumatic event for the victim as well as the victim's family and friends. Sexual assault is a very serious crime. It is defined as any form of sexual assault without both parties' voluntary consent. Sexual assault is not just a non-consensual intercourse, it can be non-consensual touching or kissing (Zvulony CO pc, 2002). What I'm really against is the way a sexual offender is punished in Canada. In my research essay on sexual assault, I will be supporting my opinion on why Canada's law, regarding punishing the sexual offenders, should change. If one is found guilty of committing a sexual offense, he or she could be sentenced from 18 months to 10 years (Zvulony CO pc, 2002). Section 271(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada states that anyone who commits a sexual assault is guilty of a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years; or b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for term n |

To Kill a Mockingbird and PersepolisHarper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, a traditional prose fiction novel, and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, a graphic novel, explore the conflict between personal and public values of their respective main characters and intolerant societies using similar techniques despite their different textual forms. Lee and Satrapi show their main characters Scout and Marji growing up in respectively 1930's racially-segregated Alabama and 1980's post-revolutionary Iran, negotiating the progressive ideologies of their families and the discriminatory values of their public societies. Lee and Satrapi highlight the intolerance through the use of first-person perspective, symbolism, and textual/graphical irony. Lee and Satrapi both use a child's first-person perspective in their texts to challenge commonly held values and beliefs of the intolerant public society. In To Kill a Mockingbird Scout witnesses racial intolerance towards African Americans as well as gender and social inequality in the broader |

Donald Trump: Mastermind of MediaLove him or hate him, Donald Trump is a master when it comes to social media. The role of social media in this year's presidential race is quite fascinating even for those who hate politics. Many GOP and Democratic candidates have dedicated staff who manage their Twitter and Facebook pages but Trump has taken a different approach on how he wants to handle his media compared to other candidates. No other presidential candidate has mastered the art of using social media as much as Trump has. He is no stranger to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine or YouTube. He understands how to break through the cluttered media environment to gain trust, popularity and support. This real-estate magnate is wealthy, arrogant and in-your-face, but ultimately Trump's social media strategy may win him the biggest seat in the House. Many tactics have led Trump to be the Republican front-runner in every Grand Old Party poll taken so far. He brilliantly connects with his voters by making inflammatory, controversial views and statements to catch the media's attention, and it's working. In just five years, Trump's Twitter followers increased from 300 |

Practical Investigation - Air Resistance to a Falling ObjectIntroduction We are going to investigate a factor that affects the air resistance acting on a falling object. A falling object increases the speed as they fall to the ground as the weight which is the force of gravity pulls them down towards the centre of the earth. At the same time, when they fall through the air, they have an upward force called air resistance acting on it. For objects such as parachutes, they fall more slowly as they have a larger air resistance acting on them. The factors that affect the air resistance on a falling subject are surface area and mass. The factor we chose to investigate is mass because mass is easier to change when investigating the time taken to fall, of the object. The falling object that we will use to investigate is a model of parachute that we will make. Our hypothesis is that the increase in the mass applied to the parachute will have an effect on the time it takes for the falling object (model parachute) to reach the ground. We predict that t |

Philosophy of composition summaryNature Vs. Nurture Jean Piaget, a Swiss developmental psychologist and Lev Vygotsky, a Soviet developmental psychologist had two different viewpoints on a child's development. Although both viewpoints are different, neither are wrong. It is very interesting to understand how "nature" and "nurture" both can have major influences on a child's development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development is based on nature. He believed the way children learned and developed was natural and came instinctively. He introduced the Theory of Cognitive Development which is made up of 4 developmental stages. Also, Piaget concluded that these stages are universal, not just for one culture. In a web article psychology expert Kendra Cherry explains |

Aggregate Demand ScenariosObjective: Demonstrate an understanding of the circular flow of income and factors that may cause shifts in AD. 1. Circular Flow of Income The circular flow of income diagram is critical to understanding how a national economy operates. It is used to show the relationship between changes in aggregate demand and the four macroeconomic objectives. Your Task Draw the circular flow of income diagram, including all sectors of the model and their corresponding injections and withdrawals/leakages. Write down which of the following are changes in injections and which are changes in withdrawals from the nation's circular flow of income. Assuming ceteris paribus, specify whether the change in each case will reflect an increase or a decrease in aggregate demand. a) The government raises tax allowances: changes in the withdrawals, results to a reduction in aggregate demand. b) The government cuts spending on infrastructure: changes in the injections, results to a reduction in aggregate demand. c) Firms bo |

Military bearing"Military bearing" is a term a soldier will hear numerous amount of times throughout his/her military career. The US Army Field Manual 6-22 defines military bearing as "projecting a commanding presence, a professional image of authority."" While this can point someone in the right direction, it is still a relatively broad definition. With military bearing being such a broad term, it is loosely open to interpretation. One could state that everything about being a soldier is encompassed by military bearing. From rendering the proper salutes and courtesies to being competent in the technical aspect of one's job. To strip this term down to its bare essentials, it simply refers to the way a soldier conducts himself or herself and is viewed by peers, seniors, subordinates, and any non-military personnel. This begins with having a military and professional appearance. Being in the military means that one automatically represents the United States of America. In doing so, it also makes militar |

Critical Essay: A Sound of Thunder and NethergraveTwo short science fiction novellas that demonstrate good work of writing include the adventure, A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury, and Nethergrave by Gloria Skurzynski. Both were interesting and kept you to the edge of your seat. There should definitely be more after the end because the endings seemed as if they were cut off. Personally, A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury was more enjoyable contrary to Nethergrave by Gloria Skurzynski. A Sound of Thunder uses better English usage and gets to the point. The first couple of pages were unneeded and useless for the thesis statement and purpose of the story, Nethergrave. Overall, A Sound of Thunder demonstrated a better example and was more interesting. In A Sound of Thunder, Eckels travels from 2055 to 85 |

Father-Son Relationships in The AeneidThe father-son relationship of Aeneas and Iulus propels the plot of the Aeneid, allowing destiny and fate to unravel for them both to initiate the creation and establishment of the new empire of Rome. Everything Aeneas does is for the future of his son and the generation of his future lineage. He always mentions that he wants the best for his son and he deserves to have what is rightfully his which is the kingdom he is next in line to. For instance, one of the reasons he leaves the land Carthage and Dido the Queen of Carthage in her despair is because Mercury the messenger sent by Jupiter brings to light the reality and fact that Iulus's future is at stake and lies in his hands and that he is ruining his own sons future by wasting time on the land that is not destined for them. The god Mercury interrogates him by stating 'have you forgotten your own kingdom and destiny?' he begins his message by drawing upon Aeneas' own rites and aim that he is almost abusing by wasting precious |

The Increasing Use of TechnologyTechnology is used every day, all around the world. It has various uses ranging from social media, gaming, and educational purposes, all of which change the way we live and interact with other people. But is there an underlying problem associated with the "benefit" of instantaneous answers, or talking to "friends" halfway around the world that you've never even met? When we go out to dinner with family, how much time do we spend talking to them? The picture that was once painted of friendly get-togethers, talking about our week with family, etc., is now replaced by a social awkwardness that is caused by the overuse of technology. It has become a permanent thing in and of our lives, unless something is changed. In saying this, the overuse of technology poses a major concern with quality of life itself. Most teenagers feel that the ability to surf the web provides them with never-ending entertainment, neglecting to see that their familial relationships are weakene |

The Power of Ocean EnergySince the 1800s, the world has relied on the same delivery systems of fuel for power and energy. These sources include natural resources such as coal, oil, natural gas, and petroleum. It is now widely recognized that fossil fuels may not be suitable or sufficient enough to keep up with the increasing population and demands of electrical energy. As electricity requirements are increasing at alarming rates, power demand is running ahead of our supply and we must take action. Thirty years ago, it was hard to imagine that there could be any other source of energy that could efficiently supply power. Today, technological advancements are opening many doors in the energy field that are likely to change the way we think about energy. For example, who would have thought that the tides and waves in our oceans could be used to power millions of homes or companies around the world. According to the EPRI, Ocean Energy Web page, "Ocean energy is a term used to describe all forms of rene |

Stage Diretions for Productions of OthelloThe stage directions at the beginning of the extract indicate the entrance of Othello and Iago while Desdemona is still on stage together with Cassio. The entrance of the two characters establishes an atmosphere of tension amongst the members of the audience, who are already aware of Iago's plan to convince Othello of a love affair and make him observe Cassio pleading to Desdemona. None of the characters besides Iago are aware of this plan so dramatic irony is being established as well, since only the audience and Iago himself are aware of the significance of this setting, as it will facilitate the progression of Iago's plan. It is clear that Iago realizes the importance of this moment and begins to capitalize on it when, after Cassio quickly exits out of shame and guilt, Iago remarks, 'Ha! I like not that,' in order to make Othello comment on the situation. The audience thus marvels at Iago's guile and presence of mind while at the same time begins to feel sorry for Othello a |

The Rise of Genetic EngineeringThe production and use of genetically modified organisms is increasing steadily. Although there are many potential benefits to humans from this process, the risks have not been adequately defined. Researchers are developing new organisms too quickly to accurately determine the effects of this procedure. There are many people and organizations that are completely against genetic engineering. The reasons for their objections, as well as the potential benefits, are both morals and others ethics A gene is a specific sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. Each gene has instructions for the expression of specific traits, such as hair color, eye color and height. All of the genes in an organism work together to create the final product: a living organism [source 1]. Humans have over 100,000 genes in their bodies [source 1]. Each gene is identified as being related to the expression of a specific trait. The gene for the desired trait is isolated, and transferred to another organism [source |

Temperature and Substrate Concentration on Enzyme ActivityAbstract Enzymes are generally used to remove toxins from animal bodies-which includes humans. There are various factors that affect the rate of enzyme activity. This lab investigates how temperature and substrate concentration effects enzyme activity rate. This was tested by analyzing the change in enzyme activity rate in 3 different temperatures 10°C, 35°C, and 65°C. As well as, enzyme activity rate in 3 different substrate concentrations, 3%, 10%, and 20%. The main findings of this experiment lead to the discovery that optimal temperature of catalase is around 35°C-50°C with a slight anomaly of a fast activity rate at 10°C. For substrate concentration, the main findings were that the higher the substrate concentration, the faster the enzyme activity rate. Further experimentation may be done to clear any doubts that were developed in this experiment. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for reactions. This simply means that enzymes lower the activation ene |

Feelings of Guilt in MacbethGuilt is defined as an emotional experience that occurs when a person realizes or believes that he or she has violated a moral standard and bears significant responsibility for that violation. Throughout William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth, guilt is a recurring motif of great significance due to its psychological effect on the lives of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is characterized as a loyal, strong, and valiant. With persuasion from his wife, whose desire for Macbeth to become king is great, Lord Macbeth carries out the murder of King Duncan. This evil deed sets off feelings of guilt in Macbeth and Lady Macbeth which cause the characters to mentally disintegrate. Before Macbeth has even committed the murder of King Duncan, he begins to feel guilt and is hesitant to commit the crime. He leaves the banquet due to his guilty thoughts and states, "Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires" (I.iv). Macbeth knows that |

The Successful Life of Walt DisneyThe film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" set one of the highest standards for animation. It was the most successful film of 1939 and no one was able to top it. Because the film won eight Academy Awards, the period was known as the "Golden Age of Animation". Walt Disney went to California with just $40 in his pocket and came out with so much more. There isn't a lot of celebrities out there that can say they went from 0 to 100 that quick. Not a lot of celebrities can build themselves up from being bankrupt that fast and methodically. Walt Disney set an exceptionally high standard for other cartoons by finding groundbreaking technological innovations like technicolor and sound. An animation device that created an illusion of motion, the phenakistoscope, was the first kind of animation invented and it didn't get much better after that. Then Walt Disney was born and started sketching and drawing for school. He liked it so much he chose that as his career. After driving |

Character Development in OthelloIn this day and age, society commonly gets its entertainment from movies and television shows. In Spiderman, Tobey Maguire takes on the role of a savior and does good deeds across New York City through the use of his special abilities. The producers of this movie are able to depict these abilities through special effects and other technological instruments. It is often said that actions speak louder than words. Although this saying might hold true in the entertainment industry today, it wouldn't have in Shakespeare's time when plays and stories were mainly conveyed through speech. The language found in Shakespeare's plays which would be considered excessive nowadays, was an effective way to arouse the interest of the public in the 1600s. This is why in Shakespeare's play Othello, character and the development of character is intimately linked with language. Early on in the play, the tragic hero Othello is presented as a bold speaker who's very calm and self-assured. As the play progre |

Overview of To Kill a MockingbirdLee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird has remained enormously popular since its publication in 1960. Recalling her experiences as a six-year-old from an adult perspective, Jean Louise Finch, nicknamed "Scout," describes the circumstances involving her widowed father, Atticus, and his legal defense of Tom Robinson, a local black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. In the three years surrounding the trial, Scout and her older brother, Jem, witness the unjust consequences of prejudice and hate while at the same time witnessing the values of courage and integrity through their father's example. Lee's first and only novel, To Kill a Mockingbird was published during the Civil Rights movement and was hailed as an exposé of Southern racist society. The heroic character of Atticus Finch has been held up as a role model of moral virtue and impeccable character for lawyers to emulate.

Religion and Institutional RacismIn this paper, I will use the sociological imagination to connect my personal experiences of being discriminated against to new racism and institutional racism. Prejudice and discrimination against religious minority groups regardless of their ethnicity and race can be seen as a form of new racism. I was born and raised in a Baha'i family in Iran. Even as a child, I directly experienced several forms of discrimination and prejudice both from people and organizations which continued to affect my life through adulthood. I clearly remember parents who would ban their children from playing with me because they considered us to be religiously "unclean". It was not uncommon to hear some schoolmates calling my family incestuous because we were Baha'i. I was expelled from the school several times when they found out that I was a Baha'i. At the same time I met people from Muslim families that would not treat me any different and others that had some form of prejudice at first but later they became my good friends abandoning all of their beliefs about Baha'is. High school was the last level of education that the government would not mind me to have as they did not let me or |

My Art EvaluationDuring my year 12 coursework, I have looked at many artists and art pieces. I have visited numerous galleries in different countries and also seen many different pieces of work from a range of media; for example photography, paints, 3D work and sculptures. The theme we had for this year's coursework was 'Process'. I was pleased with the chosen theme as I felt we could express ourselves differently as it was such a broad idea. My first original thoughts when given this topic was the idea of looking into the process of life and death, showing how things can decay. Hence why drew the leaves and kiwi fruit. I then felt it beneficial to look deeper into the idea of process so I researched into the process of feminism and how women have come so far since the years of ge |
