Hyperbole in the Importance of Being Earnest

Hyperbole in the Importance of Being Earnest Satire is a genre used and widely known for its comedic purposes. It involves the mocking of an individual for humorous means; however, it is commonly used by authors and playwrights to display criticism of the society that the character is in. In the first act of the play, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff have an exchange at Algernons flat in Half-Moon Street about Jacks alter-ego; Earnest, who he creates to be able to escape from the obligations and responsibilities that he is faced with because of societal expectations. During the exchange, there are a few glimpses of the use of ironic techniques portrayed by Wilde through Jacks character with reference to social and cultural norms when Jack states: I dont propose to discuss modern culture. It isnt the sort of thing one should talk of in private. (Wilde, 11) This is ironic as modern culture is something to talk about and discuss, however, in the aristocratic society, it is frowned upon to question or disagree with the cultural norms and values in a negative manner. Further into the exchange between Jack and Algernon, Wilde also portrays irony in terms of marriage when Jack tells Algernon: my dear fellow, the truth isnt quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman (Wilde, 33). Jacks views on how to treat women represent the upper-class societys views as he believes that honesty is not considered an important factor in relationships. Additionally, later on in the play, when Lady Bracknell is introduced as a typical upper-class aristocrat who has strong and set cultural views on marriage as well as everyones obligations in the privileged society. The playwright uses hyperbole as a literary device to show the cultural norms through her exchange with Algernon about how there should be an even number of people present at the dinner table when Algernon tries to decline the offer of feasting with her, I hope not Algernon, it will put my table completely out. Your uncle would have to dine upstairs. Fortunately, hes accustomed to that. (Wilde, 19) This statement mocks the upper-class and their over-exaggerated mannerisms in a comedic manner by portraying how they turn something that is very insignificant into unacceptable, without any reason simply because they are privileged and have more power and control over others who are beneath them. Wilde further uses hyperbole when Algernon tells Lady Bracknell that he will be unable to attend dinner because of his invalid friend Mr. Bunbury. Lady Bracknell replies with Algernon, I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or die. This shilly-shallying with the question is absurdà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ I should be much obligated if you would ask Mr. Bunbury, from me, to be kind enough not to have a relapse on Saturday, for I rely on you to arrange my music for me (Wilde, 20) The use of the term shilly-shallying shows how even the matter of life and death is insignificant to her. As she represents the upper-class society, it shows that it does not matter what the situation is as long as they get what they desire, which is control. When Lady Bracknell states ask Mr. Bunbury, from me, to be kind enough not to have a relapse on Saturday, (Wilde, 20), it mocks the upper-class in a way that shows how they ask for more than one is able to do and have high expectations from everyone to act according to how they want them to, which also enhances the genre of satire in the play as is brings a new comedic perspective towards the upper-class society. Wilde uses more of the previously explored literary technique of irony to enhance satire further along the play through Acts 2 and 3. When Algernon pretends to be Jacks brother (Earnest) in the Manor House at the countryside, Algernon states I certainly wont leave you so long as you are in mourning. It would be most unfriendly. If I were in mourning you would stay with me, I suppose. I should think it very unkind if you didnt. (Wilde, 59), showing how it is ironic as at the end of the play, it is revealed that Algernon is, in fact, Jacks biological brother. This happens towards the end of the play leading onto Act 3 when Gwendolen and Cecily come to realize the truth about how both, Jack and Algernon have been lying to them about how their names were Earnest. Wilde uses hyperbole as a technique to show two extreme sides of their love and emotions towards who they thought was Earnest. Cecily and Gwendolen also represent the aristocrat society, as when they find out that both of them had been wronged, they both go against Algernon and Jack which shows superficiality: My poor wounded Cecily! (Wilde, 78) and My poor wounded Gwendolen! (Wilde 78) which portrays how marriage was highly based on the name one carried in the upper-class society, rather than it being a genuine relationship between two individuals. Continuously throughout the play and towards the end, Oscar Wilde shows and reveals how he cleverly used the name Earnest as one with a pun on it as it suggested more than just one meaning. Firstly, the actual meaning of the name which stands for honestly, truthfulness and integrity ironically does not describe Jack Worthing or Algernon Moncrieff. This is because, firstly, both of the characters have an alter-ego to obtain their desires and to escape from the upper-class societys obligations and responsibilities. Additionally, they lie to Gwendolen and Cecily about being Earnest so that they are able to marry them. Therefore, the word Earnest ironically expresses the notion of false truth and false morality as neither, Jack nor Algernon, portray themselves to be Earnest, as neither of them express moral values, and only towards the end of the play does Jack realize, for the first time in his life, the vital Importance of Being Earnest (Wilde, 106), as it shows that he has finally lea rnt the value of being honest. Both, irony and hyperbole are two clever literary techniques used by Oscar Wilde in the Importance of Being Earnest to portray his criticism towards the upper-class Victorian society in a comedic manner. The play is exposed to the audience humorously, while at the same time, it expresses the contradictory and hypocritical actions of those who conform to the aristocrat society of the late 1800s which ties the play together in a satiric manner.

Work In A Business Environment

For the following unit, you can either write a statement on the criteria listed below or you can make notes and we can have a taped discussion at our next visit:Understand how to respect other people at workDescribe what is meant by diversity and why it should be valued Diversity can be different races, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental and physical capabilities. Diversity should be respected and valued as nobody is the same. Our difference can lead to growth and development but also problems as these differences can cause tension in a workplace. Regardless of their background, everyone has a right to their own thoughts and opinions which can be beneficial to the company.Describe how to treat other people in a way that is sensitive to their needs Treat every person the way that you want them to treat you. Observe each individual that you encounter and analyse what needs they may have and try to meet those needs. Physically disabled people need more time t o move around the office area, to treat this person correctly and with respect I would hold doors open and keep walk ways clear.Disabled mentally, anyone of a high mental disability would not be encountered in my area of work but if I did come across someone who clearly needed more help I would do everything I could to try to help and keep the person relaxed. Person of a strong religion, never discriminate against them because of their beliefs or use any offensive language- this is applicable to every person in office and visitor in office.Describe how to treat other people in a way that respects their abilities, background, values, customs and beliefs The best way to be tolerant, open minded person is to always remember that everyone has different ways of doing things and that most of the time there is not just one right way of doing something. People almost always like explaining their own culture and beliefs, so asking them questions are usually a good way of starting a conversat ion.People don’t usually take offense if they can see you are honestly trying to learn about them. The fact that you are interested in the first place means that you are probably already a tolerant person. Most people are uncomfortable about other cultures because they are unfamiliar with them and are made nervous by what they do not know.Describe ways in which it possible to learn from others at work†¢Ask people for information †¢Ask people to show you how to do things †¢Ask people about their beliefs, culture and customs and getting them to explain what they do or believe and why they do so †¢Talk to people a lot †¢Listen to what other people have to say †¢Watch other people to see what they are doing †¢Work with other people and in team/group tasksNow give me an example of a time when you have learnt from someone else at work (this could have been when you first started- did you receive training on your new work role etc) I still learn so mething new as my responsibilities have been change a lot since I have started work in Cold Chain. Every time when new duties come across to me I always try to get as many information as I can from appropriate person and record a notice just in case if I forgot.Understand how to maintain security and confidentiality at work and deal with concernsDescribe the purpose and benefits of maintaining security and confidentiality at work Most of this information is now collected, processed and stored on electronic computers and transmitted across networks to other computers. Should confidential information about a business’s customers or finances fall into the hands of a competitor, such a breach of security could lead to a loss of business, law suits and bankruptcy. Protecting confidential information is a business requirement, and in many cases also an ethical and legal requirement.Describe requirements for security and confidentiality in an organisation If an organisation stores a ny information on people its needs to meet  requirements set out in the Data Protection Act. The information should be stored securely whether it is paper based or electronically. The organisation should have an access to information policy. Anyone who has information stored about them has access to it on request and after completing security procedures (all vary depending on organisation). The information should not be given to third parties unless there are criminal implications and the courts demand it, or it is with the consent of the person themselves.In large organisations such as Rolls Royce (Derby) all employees must have their ID badges to gain access to sites; they also have a complex data and computer system to ensure the confidentiality and security of their most sensitive files. Describe legal requirements for security and confidentiality, as required †¢Data Protection Act 1998: The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA 1998) is an act of the United Kingdom Parliament de fining the ways in which information about living people may be legally used and handled. The main intent is to protect individuals against misuse or abuse of information about them. The DPA was first composed in 1984 and was updated in 1998.†¢ Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988: The Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988 is the current UK copyright law. It gives the creators of literacy, dramatic, musical and artistic works the right to control the ways in which their material may be used. The rights cover: broadcast and public performance, copying and adapting, issuing, renting and lending copies to the public. In many cases, the creator will also have the right to be identified as the author and to object to the distorting of their work.Describe procedures for dealing with concerns about security and confidentiality in an organisation †¢Identify potential problems†¢ Identify implications (potential loss) of each problem †¢Determine possible preventative meas ures (and cost of each measure) †¢Assign a risk factor to each problemNow give me an example of a work task that you have completed where you have has to keep the information confidential A company decided to issue laptops to its managerial staff. IT determined that the risk and cost of losing confidential company data stored on the laptops was ‘high’. The solutions  was to ‘move’ the ‘My Documents’ folder from users laptops to the companies servers (in order to access documents when away from the office, you would have to log-in across the internet (VPN)).The directors, being technically illiterate, were incapable of logging into anything- so their laptops were made an exception. So whilst the canteen managers next week menus were safely stored on the companies server, the new product launch plans were revealed to the competition when the inevitable happened and a directors laptop was left in a taxi.Understand the purpose and procedures for keeping waste to a minimum in a business environmentExplain the purpose of keeping waste to a minimumKeeping waste to a minimum in the business environment serves the same purpose as it does everywhere else. It decreases the amount of waste a business contributes to the environment (this can include solid waste, water waste and carbon emissions). Reducing waste is key to minimising an individuals or business’s environmental impact by reducing air and water pollutions and limiting the amount of materials that end up in landfills. Reducing waste can also serve to save business money.By enacting plans that conserve materials, they will inevitably cut down on the amount of materials they need to purchase. Likewise any attempt to reduce carbon emissions inevitably relies on a reduction of energy use, which means less money spent on electricity and fuel. The advantage of applying waste minimising principles in a business environment is that it impacts a larger number of people . Such actions also serve to improve a business’s image.Describe the main causes of waste that may occur in a business environment Can mean wasting time, energy or office equipment.Time = internet, people doing personal tasks, inter-office socialising, not being productive because of poor management directions, lack of knowledge regarding workload and work process. Office supplies = theft, excessive use of printing when not needed, personal use of office equipment by employees, people not proof reading or checking documents for mistakes. Energy = leaving lights and PC’s turned on at night when no one is there, keeping  heat or air conditioning turned too high or low, inefficient use of company vehicles.Describe ways of keeping waste to a minimumKeep the faxes, printers and copiers in good working order so that they produce good copies and don’t ‘eat’ copies and jam. Order good quality paper that is the recommended weight for the office machine. El iminate the conformation page of the fax by changing the settings. Periodically ask everyone to purge their desks of excess pens, stickers, sticky notes and other supplies. Order a reasonable amount of supplies for a shot period so there is not a feeling of oversupply and that usage doesn’t matter. Set expectations that people do not take supplies home with them, or use printers/copiers for excessive amounts. Organise supplies and remove those that are out of date. Request that people ask for supplies from a specific person by a deadline. Turning off equipment and lights will also help reduce waste.Identify ways of using technology to reduce wasteYou can email people instead of writing letters and notes out on paper and leaving them lying around. You could also phone someone instead of writing a letter out to them this is the quickest way of communication as long as the other person answers, this will save you time, ink and paper. If a machine in your office has broken down t hen you could email the person who supplied you with it to come and take it away or you could call them to come and take it away as soon as possible.If your company has a shredder that does all the shredding for you then you could use that to get rid of waste paper, it would also destroy any sensitive and confidential details/information. Sending bills/invoices/statements via email saves paper and ink also saves money that would have been spent on Franking. Some companies will have a purchase order control for ordering stationary, when staff have sent their requests through the orders are checked by a manager who will determine how necessary the orders and can decline orders should they know sufficient supplies are available.Outline the purpose and benefits of recyclingRecycling at work is a great way to increase your business sustainability and help to reduce climate change. Once you start to recycle at work you’ll experience the wide range of benefits that come with making your company a more sustainable and environmentally responsible organisation. †¢ Enhances company image- Engaging in greener business practices and publishing those practises can do wonders for your company image and can attract both employees and customers. †¢ Recycling is easy to do- Recycling at work is straight forward and easy to do. It’s easy to separate out materials to recycle from your other waste, if you get a good system in place its easy to implement and maintain.†¢ Recycling increases customer loyalty- Customers prefer to do business with companies that behave in an environmentally-friendly way. †¢ Recycling often reduces clutter and saves space- Recycling often reduces clutter and improves the working environment. Less clutter also means increased safety around your workplace. †¢ Recycling is great for the environment- Recycling at work helps you reduce the environmental impact of your business. Recycling your waste materials means they can be used again in new products and applications, instead of simply going into landfills where they generate harmful greenhouse gas emissions.†¢ Increases employee morale- Employee satisfaction is the best reason to undertake a recycling scheme. Employees find great pride in working for a company that embodies environmental values and focuses attention on its environmental impact and responsibilities. †¢ Recycling is cost effective- Recycling is a cost effective method of dealing with your waste, simple because is it often cheaper when compared with general waste management and disposal.Describe organisational procedures for recycling materials†¢sensitization †¢collection †¢storage †¢sorting †¢distribution †¢recycling to raw material †¢manufacture †¢marketingNow give me an example of a time when you have recycled at work We using three separate bins for rubbish: paper, plastic, and rest.Understand procedures for disposal of hazardo us materialsDescribe the benefits of procedures for the recycling and disposal of hazardous materials Hazardous waste refuses, recycling and reclamation can avoid environmental hazards, protect scarce natural resources, provide economic benefits and reduce the nation’s reliance on raw materials and energy. †¢ Environmental benefits- Recycling hazardous waste reduced the consumption of raw materials by reducing the volume of waste materials that must be treated and disposed of. Recycling hazardous waste can mean less air, water and soil pollution associated with the extraction, refining and processing of raw materials, recycling can also reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.When hazardous wastes are recycled, less energy is needed to extract, transport and process raw materials and manufacture products. When energy demands decreases fewer fossil fuels are burned and less carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere. Emissions of other air pollutants can be reduced too, a s recycling hazardous wastes can decrease release of air toxics from waste incineration. †¢ Economic benefits- Not only can hazardous waste recycling be good for the environment it can also be good for the bottom line. Recycling hazardous waste can increase production efficiency and reduce costs associated with purchasing raw materials and waste management.By recycling hazardous materials a business may be able to eliminate the generation of hazardous waste. A business may also benefit from the positive or ‘green’ image associated with hazardous waste recycling efforts. For example, a company who values strong corporate stewardship can increase good will with shareholders and consumers and further distinguish itself from its competition.Describe organisational procedures for the recycling and disposal of hazardous materials Generally in the UK you have to write a COSHH (Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health) assessment for the disposal of hazardous  materials . There is no one safe method and each substance must be individually assessed. For example, the disposal of a lead-acid battery is different to the disposal of an alkaline battery which again is different to the disposal of a metal hydride rechargeable battery. All these contain toxic compounds that can be recycled.Thus the procedure is to write a COSHH assessment for each substance to be disposed of or recycled. This comprises writing an assessment of the hazards and risks, the safety precautions that are needed, what to do if something goes wrong and how to contain the waste material at the end. For example, something like sulphuric acid can be rendered harmless in its disposal procedure, meaning that the end product can be disposed of by normal means. Other substances may remain hazardous, even after processing, and a special disposal method is needed. Here at UK Waterproofing Solutions Ltd we do not recycle any hazardous materials from the office base, however when out on sites our men deal with the recycling of plastics, bitumen, rubble and asbestos.Know how to support sustainability in an organisationOutline the purpose of improving efficiency and minimising waste The purpose of improving efficiency is so that raw materials can be managed in order to minimise waste and therefore reduce costs. Also, minimising waste can have a positive effect on the environment. One of the most fundamental ways to improve efficiency is to minimise waste, you can do this in three main ways: †¢ Compliance with the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 and any equivalent laws in the countries your business operates. †¢ Voluntary measures: these might include undertaking a waste audit and creating a company waste minimisation policy. †¢ Sharing waste minimisation knowledge with partners in your supply chainDescribe ways of improving own working methods and use of technology to achieve efficiency and reduce waste

King Lear Essay

Shakespeare’s â€Å"King Lear† in a play filled with betrayal and various acts of deception. This becomes evident in the first few lines. The superficiality of Goneril and Regan empty words combined with their lack of love for their father foreshadows the events to come. We first see dishonesty in Act1 Scene1 with Lears â€Å"love test†. Goneril and Regans elegant yet false speeches oppose what they really feel. Goneril speaks first and says â€Å"I love you more than words can wield the matter†, the reason why there are no words to express this love, is because she feels none for him, it does not exist. Regan emphasizes the value of her love; she should be priced at Gonerils â€Å"Worth†, however we can see that her love is even less than her sisters when she professes Gonerils affection â€Å"Comes to short†. Her greed is adamant. Both daughter’s deception and hunger only for themselves, already in the first act establishes an emotional uncertainly and introduces ideas of what’s ahead. Cordelia speaks last, and although stands up for genuine feeling â€Å"according to my bond, no more no less†, does not flatter Lear in the way he wished. He asks her to â€Å"ment your speech a little†, as feels she should do the same as her sisters. In the speech Cordealisa honesty is seen by Lear as a rebelling and humiliation of him. He feels his heart has been lied to by her refuses in the love test to say â€Å"nothing†, assuming therefore that she does not love him. Yet could we question Lears betrayal? His actions and intentions for breaking up the state were not that of a responsible ruler, renaissance society was patriarchal and genrotocraic; they did not consider retirement, nor did they pass on their power and wealth when they reached old age. They retained their power until they died. Also opposed, was the divine right not kings. As appointed to by god this was a very important period. The fact the King defied the natural order itself has to be questioned. As we can see, Lears misuse of power proceeds from here to his tragic downfall. Not only does he deceive society with his position, but also his daughters. He is used to wielding his power with absolute authority and expects complete obedience, â€Å"though better know’st the offices of nature, bond of childhood, effects of courtesy, dues of gratitude, thou half o’th kingdom hast†. After giving away his kingdom he should have no rights or power yet is constantly expressing to his daughters â€Å"I gave you all† telling them they owe him. Lears attempt to divide power from responsibly from the beginning of the first act expresses the point he needs to learn to distinguish between appearances and reality. The next deceitful character is Edmund who is the bastard son of Gloucester and a victim of the law primogeniture. As an illegitimate son he is entitled to nothing, but this doesn’t stop his political ambition. This is expressed in Act 1, â€Å"Why bastard? Wherefore base? When my dimensions are as well compact†. Edmund argues he possesses all the person qualities of his brother and is determined to â€Å"prosper† no matter what. He lies to his farther in devious and cunning ways. By producing fake documents and fooling him into believing that Edgar seeks his life. By acting as if he does not want his farther to see the letter â€Å"Nothing my lord†, reverse psychology is used, showing Edmunds true colours. He then pushes the story further â€Å"if you violently proceed against him, mistaking his purpose, at would make a great gap in your honour†. This false act concerning honour makes Edmund out to appear good and true. Yet again just like Lear, Gloucester has fallen for false appearances and words. The subplots both now mirror as the evil children gain ground from lies, betrayal and deception. As well as emotional aspersion, physical deception is also apparent. It’s used in A1S4, when Kent disguises himself. He disguises himself as Caius, a serving man who seeks employment. Edgar then in Act2S3 disguises himself as â€Å"mad beggar tom†. By doing this I feel Shakespeare is expressing how the character deserve freedom to justice. They both have been reduced in status. In Edgars situation the contrast between life as an absolute monarch and the powerless existence described here â€Å"poor tyrlygod! Poor tom† that’s something yet: Edgar I am nothing†, could not seem starker. Both Kent and Edgar do feel free now, and there is emphasis in how they speak to show they do not care for royalty and positions. The point being how deceptive outward appearances are in King Lear. Virtuous characters assume disguises in order to survive, continuing to do well in their new lowly roles. In contrast outward appearances do appear to represent the loss of power â€Å"Off off! You lendings†. To Lear his clothing represents his folly. Lastly, there’s the fool, who is ironically different from his title. He plays a number of roles; voice of conscience, social commentator, truth teller and even a representative for Cordealia. While the fool is commonly an idiot, Lears fool seems to understand the political situation better than the king himself. â€Å"She will taste like this as a crab does to a crab (A1S5), the fool tries to warn Lear about both goneril and Regan being as sour as each other. Therefore one is no better than the other. His songs and jokes seem to be aimed at teaching Lear about the errors he has made rather than making him laugh; therefore his humour acts as a disguise. In many eyes the fool is like a commentary on significant events outlining or foreshadowing things whenever he appears. In conclusion Shakespeare’s interest in deception in King Lear is shown throughout. If the characters are not emotionally deceptive like Goneril and Regans empty words in A1S1: â€Å"I love you more than space and liberty†, in the love test. Then physically they are, such as Kent and Edgar, Which was one: to help the king and the other to escape punishment that they did not deserve. Most characters deliberately misrepresent themselves but others are naturally difficult to understand. Some try to gain power, others are only protecting themselves. There is an extreme contract between reality and truths about the appearances that make people out to be something out they are not. This quality about the characters fuels the plot and intrigues the audience, develops the play and brings it to an ultimate end.

The Power of Context by Malcolm Gladwells argument - Free Essay Example

Sample details Pages: 3 Words: 907 Downloads: 2 Date added: 2019/10/10 Category Statistics Essay Level High school Did you like this example? A pivotal aspect that makes patterns soar into mass popularity is the thing that Gradwell expresses as the power of context. His essay particularly revolves on massive the decline in crime rates in the New york city between 1980 and 1990. Despite the fact that Gradwell recognizes that a wide assortment of complex factors assumed a key part in sparking the   decline in clime, he contends convincingly that it was a couple of little yet persuasive changes in nature inside the city that played a key factor in accomplishment of the tipping point. Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "The Power of Context by Malcolm Gladwells argument" essay for you Create order Gradwell refers to various experiments to demonstrate that the effect of environment on the character of individuals is more huge than most individuals perceive. He claims that numerous decisions which are credited to individual personal attributes depend generally on the setting than on the cognizant decision of people. In his writing, he contends that ideas, patterns and practices can be spread in the general public beginning with minor changes and factors. Moreover, it shows that the power of context approach can really give foundation to dynamic social change contrally the passive approach which just goes for collecting the hoodlums. To support his contentions, Gradwell cites various theories and experiments. He utilizes the broken windows theory to contend that wrongdoing is the inescapable consequence of disorder. The theory argues that crime is excessively contagious, much the same as fashion trends meaning they can begin like with a broken window and spread to the whole community. Most conservative theories contend that the criminal is a personality type whereas the broken window theory contends up a direct inverse viewpoint. It proposes that the criminal is really somebody intensely sensitive to his environment and who is tempted to carry out wrongdoings in view of the environment around him. It contends that real crimes, for example, murder and assault are apparently empowered by minor violations, for example, graffiti, public urination and broken window thus urban communities can diminish genuine wrongdoings by clasping down minor violations. To support his contention, he points the effect of the broken windows theory started by Wilson and Kelling and exemplified by kelling and bra tton which aimed at cutting down wrongdoing in New York City.In enforcing the theory, they clasped down minor violations, for example,graffiti and public urination. In couple of years the city encountered a considerable decrease in crime including major crimes, for example, murder and assault. By citing the difference between the past situation and the situation after changes were enacted, Gradwell supports his argument on the effectiveness of the broken window hypothesis The power of context theory utilizes comparable approach to broken window theory. Gladwell employs the theory to contend on the effect of environment in affecting human behavior. The illustrates how the power of environment influences the intuitive decisions done by person. In one of his illustrations, Gradwell points the case of a character by the name Goetz. Goetz had a reputation among his companions as an irascible and often explicitry racist man. he would state that the city expected to eliminate spics and niggers. Three months prior to killing the men on the   sub way, Goetz had been mugged by three dark young people. So everything considered, it appears to be anything but difficult to foresee that Goetz would have shot the four dark men on the sub way. But, as indicated by the power of context theory, it wasnt just Goetzs psychology that drove him to shoot; it was the environment he was subjected to at the time. Gladwell   uses such illustrations to demonstrate that nature has substantial effect on molding human conduct. He points that the theory can assume a key part in behavioral change in the general public. The theory can be utilized to target tipping points starting the minor crimes negative social behaviors.to substantiate his claims, Gradwell refers to a case of decrease of criminal incidents in new york which were grounded by the broken windows theory and points that the theory is actually a narrower case of the power of context theory employed in investigation of criminal conduct and their association with environment The scandalous Stanford Prison Experiment is a solid case of how condition can change a mans conduct in shockingly real ways. Amid the notorious Stanford Prison Experiment of the 1970s, volunteers were divided into detainees and monitors in a ridicule jail. Disturbingly quickly, the phony watchmen started to treat their phony detainees cold-bloodedly, apparently overlooking that the analysis was an investigation by any means. The test turned out to be so rough and twisted that it had to be canceled after just six days, even though it was initially expected to continue for two weeks. One of the significant conclusions of the experiment was that physical condition can have a practically overwhelming impact on human conduct. The jail condition changed the subjects conduct rapidly. Gradwell arguments can be thought as persuasive from some perspective. Ordinarily, when solicited to depict the development of ones character, one would react with records of early childhood encounters or memorable situations in his or her life.   Character is developed throughout ones entire life and every circumstance and experience serves as a lesson regardless of the context where the experience was encountered. It’s the impact of these external experiences that are said to impact ones character. Similarly, Gradwell employs this approach to substantiate his claims. Its perspective that Gradwell uses as the basis of his argument.

Common Mistakes in Writing - 1362 Words

Common Mistakes in Writing: Comma Splice In your writing, there are 3 major problems that we commonly have to address as teachers/instructors/professors/etc. I want you to take the time to read about these. While we don t expect this to fix your issues instantly, we are hoping that you ll aim to make less of these mistakes in the future (especially on your papers, where these errors WILL be counted off for). Comma Splice -- Commas are tricky because there are so many different ways you can use them, but one of the most common ways to use commas is to separate two main clauses that are connected by a coordinating conjunction. That just means that when you join two things that could be sentences on their own with a word such as†¦show more content†¦You ll notice that with run-on sentences and comma splices, the two are very similar issues and solved in the same manner. It s a good rule of thumb to remember them together. If you need any help, contact Dr. Wilson or myself. Common Mistakes in Writing: Sentence Fragments The last major error that we encounter in writing is the sentence fragment. These are a bit trickier to solve than the other two issues, but you should have no problem as long as you take your time with them. Sentence Fragment--A part of a sentence that is punctuated as a complete sentence. It may lack a subject, a predicate, or both, or it may be a dependent clause. It can be fixed in one of three ways: He quit his job. And cleared out his desk. (the second sentence is wrong) This deals with a missing subject or predicate. These are usually the result of faulty punctuation of a compound predicate. Either add the subject, or change the punctuation to incorporate the fragment into the preceding sentence: He quite his job. And he cleared out his desk. Or: He quit his job and cleared out his desk. A missing or incomplete predicate is often the result of using a verbal instead of a finite verb. Usually, the best remedy is addition of a helping verb: Sheila waiting to see you. Becomes: Sheila is waiting to see you. Although a dependent clause has a subject and a predicate, it cannot stand alone as a sentence because it begins with a relativeShow MoreRelated: Common Mistakes in Essay Writing and How to Avoid Them1929 Words   |  8 PagesThe dirty dozen: common mistakes in essay writing and how to avoid them Undergraduate research essays generally suffer from particular problems.

Firearms Laws and Culture in the United States

Question: Discuss about theFirearms Laws and Culture in the United States. Answer: Introduction The term gun culture when used in the States means beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors pertaining to gun usage amongst civilians. The process of owning a firearm is enshrined in the United States bill of rights whereby these weapons are used in the country for various purposes such as target shooting, recreation, hunting, and self-defense. However, gun politics is polarized between two advocacy groups, the typical conservative who support the firearm holding culture and liberal supporting strict firearm usage. However, the gun culture protected under the U.S constitution has transpired more of a curse than a blessing because there have been numerous incidences that have brought about public outcry. Recently there has been shooting and in one case, the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings that prompted US president Barrack Obama to issue a public statement where he vowed to use whatever powers his office wields to prevent future strategies. Even though such an action step is commendable, policy makers on the other hand disagree on the best course of action to attain such a goal (Blau, Gorry, Wade, 2016). It is on the 16th of January that the president proposed an updated strategy to minimize on gun violence, and it included new background check requirements and also enhancing education and enforcement of existing state gun laws, and prohibition of high capacity magazines. There are numerous debates on recent widespread public shootings even though certain stakeholders point to mental illnesses even though no viable truth. Policy makers believe that with an emphasize on strict gun laws such acts of violence can be significantly reduced while other believe that site specific security could have deterred the careless shootings. However, the situation is still very different to counter considering the fact that each state has its existing gun laws. A federal law would be more appropriate. To begin with, when proper laws are enacted by the federal government, guns would be beyond the reach of individuals likely to commit offences. Secondly, the amendments would provide a more selective and targeted approach to a prohibited individual than the current system. Recently, congress added people who are not allowed to carry weapons and these are any person with a domestic violence misdemeanor record. The law also prohibits addicts of any controlled substance and such a move is likely to criminalize the possession of firearm to people using forms of addictive substances such as Marijuana and other hard drugs (Sigel Rodman, 2014). Therefore to acknowledge that gun ownership is embedded on the American culture, it is proper to consider how such form of politics manifests in culture and myth. Even though firearm ownership is enshrined in the constitution, it is also fair to consider how the ownership value has embedded itself culturally, and how the citizens perceives themselves while the rest of the globe is watching them tear each other apart. Thus we cannot say that gun ownership is a culture that Americans should be passionate about since it is taking more lives and more so lives of the innocent people. Works Cited Blau, B. M., Gorry, D.
