Aboriginal studies Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1750 words

Aboriginal studies - Research Paper Example Natives of the South -- southeast and southwest -- lived somewhat similar and different social environments and had their own unique means of using, controlling, and changing their inhabitation. Bonds of social set up were so strong that the Southern natives did not loose hold of their social and cultural identity while adapting to the ways of modern agriculture. In the matter of practicing refined ways of cultivation, the natives of southeast followed comparatively advanced methods of farming than their counterparts. The theme of religion in its purest form of following rituals and in the wider perspective of believing in the existence of God was pervasive in all functions of life. There were cultural differences as well as similarities as based on the geographical distribution of land that culminated in their choice of practicing different professions other than farming but natives of South believed in the oneness of all human beings on the spiritual grounds. Natives had a sharp se nse of the natural cycle and practiced different modes of livelihood to save themselves from the vagaries of nature. Before comparing the environmental and social organization of the natives of southeast and southwest, it is logical to know the physical boundaries that divided them. The Southeast culture area is the semi-tropical region that extends from the Atlantic Ocean Westward to way ahead of Trinity River in today’s Texas, and from the Gulf of Mexico towards north following different latitudes through the modern states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. The Southwest aboriginal culture has its expansion from the southern corners of modern times Utah and Colorado south via Arizona and New Mexico, including Texas, California, and Oklahoma, into Mexico. This physical division of both regions creates curiosity to compare the social and environment organization of both the regions. According to Charles Hudson,

Hurricanes Geography Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1750 words

Hurricanes Geography - Research Paper Example As wind speed exceeds 74 miles per hour a hurricane is born. Hurricanes usually formed from warm water in the tropical region. Water is usually 800F (270C) in this part of the earth. In a year, four hurricanes develop in the Atlantic region and an approximate of sixty hurricanes rise from tropical seas and swirls through the globe. Coastal areas are the most prone to danger because hurricanes are formed in the sea. Hurricanes in the United States mostly come from the tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the CaribbeanSea and the Atlantic Ocean. Some are small and others are large. But whatever the case, hurricanes are the mightiest of all storms. Hurricanes are natural phenomena that can be dangerous and destructive but is perfectly designed by nature to serve a purpose. It is essential to maintain the optimal warm temperature of the earth. Hurricanes suck up warm water from the sea surface to its eye wall and when it rise up it condenses forming r ains showers. These rain waters arid lands and alleviates drought in some hot locations. Anatomy of a Hurricane Hurricanes do not occur everywhere in the world. You can never find hurricanes in cold locations like the Antarctic and Arctic regions of the earth. Hurricanes start from storm seeds mainly from the west coast of tropical areas like the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Small atmospheric disturbance occur that creates low pressure area. Air is pushed through this low pressure area by the surrounding high pressure environment. Warm tropical sea water transfer heat to air so it rises as it nears the center. It speeds up the acceleration of rising air thus providing energy for the developing storm. Hot air then comes into contact with cold air aloft and results into thunderstorms. If the conditions are favorable like locations with high humidity and hot weather, a hurricane is most likely being formed. Low pressure systems with accompanying thunderstorms are called tropical cyclones. These tropical cyclones rotate counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. This cyclonic behavior is due to the earths Coriolis Effect. Tropical disturbance is reported for a group of thunderstorms in the tropics that are present for at least 24 hours. It is then escalated to tropical wave status when it reaches winds with 25mph moving in all direction. The time it develops circulation, that’s the time it is called a tropical cyclone. Tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with wind speeds of at least 38 mph. When the tropical cyclone’s wind reaches 39 to 73 mph, it is then labeled tropical storm. Tropical storm has showers and thunderstorms that are moving closer to circulation. Hurricane is termed for the most severe category of tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph. At this level, an eye is developed at the center of the cyclone. The coverage of the thundersto rms varies depending on the intensity and wind speed of the hurricane. Source: http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/hurr/stages/home.rxml Hurricanes have area that is relatively cloudless and calm. This area is called the eye of the hurricane and it is located at the center of the tropical cyclone. The eye is usually 20 to 30 m wide for a storm that has diameter of 400 miles across. The area immediate to the eye is called the eye

Types of Terrorism Case Study Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Types of Terrorism - Case Study Example Terrorism is characterised by use of violence indiscriminatively against civilians with intensions of gaining publicity of cause for individuals or groups. Bioterrorism is a kind of terrorism that involves the dessemination of any bioplogical agent, in its natural or modified human form and that agent has anadverse effect on the health of individuals. The biological agents here may include but not limited to bacteria, bacterial toxins, fungal toxins and viruses. This are sometimeds descrinbed as biological weapons and have been used in warefare in manay nations incliuding the United States of America. Bioterrorism is one of the most attractive weapon for terrorism because it consist mainly of the biological agents and hence less expensive dispite the fact that it causes wide spread panic and fear as well as the actual physical damages that they cause to the body. Bioterrorism has a wider and undiscriminatory impact if applied in millitary or warfare. Because of these reasons therefor e the use of biological agents may only be useful in terrorism. As observed by Guillemin (2001), the use of biological agents have wide range of limitations for their use in war since it effectsis experienced passsed the target groups and individuals. It is not possible to dissminate the biological agents such that only the enemy is affected and in most instances, even the friendly forces are affected by the biolofgical agent (Guillemin, 2001). It is therefore useful for the terrorits due to the ease of creating mass panicx as well as disrupting the society and their activities. As warned by Fong & Alibek (2009), there is potential power that the results and advanccements in genetic engineering is palcing on the hands of the terrorists in the future. In his study he has also indicated that the genetic technology would benefit the terrorists more thn it would benefit its intensions in the future. Bioterrorism also includes also those aspects of the use of bioloical agents to disriupt a wider range of the society and the peole living in the society. This does not mean that it must result into the deaths of the peole but it may result into wider impact on the economy in terms of economic losses and other impacts. For example, in the year 2001 and the year 2007, the United kingdom witnessed the a wide outbreak and spread of the foot and mouth disease. While this did not infect the humans, it resulted into serious econnomic damages as well as public concerns and panic. Bioterrorism therefore includes both the aspects economy as well as the health of individual populations and the impacts such as panic, infections or deaths. Bioterrorism is also different from natural outbreak. This is because the natural outbreaks are not engineered by anybody but occur naturally while bioterrorism includes the use of biological gagents that are directed towards an individual or poipulation. Anthrax oubreak is one of the impacts of the biological agents used in bioterrorism in many nations. Anthrax is caused by a spore forming bacterium known as Bacillus anthracis. It is non contagious and hence transmissiom from one individual to the other through contacts is not very easy. Bacillus anthracis was first use in biological warfare in in germana when the German working stafs were supplied with the anthrax bacterium and used it against the Russian Army in Finland (Guillemin, 2010). The most recent attack and outbreak

(Corporate) Product Selection & Strategy Formulation Essay

(Corporate) Product Selection & Strategy Formulation - Essay Example Apple Inc is even enjoying the overwhelming performance in the technology industry is associated with the continuous success and dominance (Abraham 2012). In corporate strategy there are two types of diversification which are: linked and constrained.

Discuss how three or more important symbols add to your understanding of Of Mice and Men Essay Example for Free

Discuss how three or more important symbols add to your understanding of Of Mice and Men Essay In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck portrays messages to the reader through various techniques, including the vivid animal imagery presented throughout the novella, most notably in Chapters 1 and 6. However, his most potent form of message conveying is through his use of symbolism. Interweaving light imagery and exercising characters as symbols into the text furthers the development of integral themes and plotlines throughout the turbulent story. From the deep and green Salinas River to the right hand that had held the gun, Steinbecks utilization of symbols contributes to the readers overall appreciation of the chaotic book, highlighting recurring themes such as loneliness. As was stated in the introduction, Steinbeck employs characters as symbols. The most familiar example of this is old Candy. Candy is a significant figure in Of Mice and Men, due to the likenesses between him and George. I aint much good with ony one handthats why they give me a job swampin, Candy explains to George. As a swamper, this is all Candy has left. In 1930s America, a worker who could not work to his full potential, especially during the time of the Depression, would be replaced- Candys ultimate fear. Thats why he wants to cook and tend the chickens and hoe the garden some on Lennie and Georges land. Candy can lead a safe life, not having to worry about being canned. Candys stumped wrist is a result of an accident on the ranch. Candy is a prime example of being caught in the Migrant Workers Cycle- moving to one job, before leaving and moving somewhere else. A link can therefore be established with George, and Lennie, who appear to have been traveling around working before the time of Of Mice and Men. This is another case of the cyclic nature of the novella, and a reflection of the American way of life in the 1930s. Another example of Candys symbolic nature is with his ancient dog. This [Candy and his dog] is the first relationship in the novella to be broken, with the final bond, George and Lennie, being destroyed at the climax. No, he said softly. No, I couldn do that. I had im too long,' explains Candy in Chapter 3, referring to the idea of killing his dog. This is very similar to George who, despite knowing Lennie will only cause grief to him and those around him, does not want to hurt him, because he too has been with his companion for a long time. Candy explains that, I been around him so much I never notice how he stinks, while George earlier says, but you get used to goin around with a guy an you cant get rid of him.'- Another likeness between the two. George has his own dog, Lennie, who follows George around, maintaining silence in conversations and growing increasingly dependent on a master. During the novella, the recurrence of loneliness, and speculating at a lonesome finale, is ever present, especially in the form of playing cards. The bunkhouse is often the scene of the games, with George the dealer. This is significant, as George frequently exclaims his desire to be alone, If I was alone I could live so easy. However, solitude is Georges enemy, and he is fearful at the prospect of living alone. This is projected through his card playing, Slim sat downacross from GeorgeHe studied the solitaire hand that was upside-down to him. Inadvertently, George has dealt a game of solitaire- a single player game, an insinuation at the conclusion of the story, when George ultimately kills his companion. A similar event arises when Candys dog is led by Carlson to be shot. Anybody like to play a little euchre?' asks George. The key theme of loneliness is being forced away by George, who refuses to be alone, opting to ask the group to play cards. The constant reminding of impending solitude, and its effects, enable the reader to understand and fully interpret the inevitability of what is to come. Hands play a vital role in the symbolism of Of Mice and Men. There are various references to the hands of men, building up to the climatic noting, right hand that had held the gun. Despite the assortment of quotes in relation to hands, each has its own meaning. Georges right hand is the killing hand that seals his isolation in the world. Candys lack of a hand, accompanied by persistent referencing to his handicap, Candy stood in the doorway scratching his bald wrist, provides a stark reminder of the perils of working in 1930s America, stressing the importance of staying healthy. If an illness or injury affected the work rate of a person, they were often removed from their job- a brusque feature of Capitalism. The contextual relevance expands the fluency of the text for the reader, as the framework for the 1930s American society is commonly paralleled with the novella. With regards to Curley, his gloves fulla Vaseline, which hes keepin soft for his wife. This is one of many sexual references regarding Curleys wife, who regularly symbolizes the contextual attraction of whorehouses and prostitutes to the migrant workers. As stated above, Curleys wifes character is sharply familiarized with prostitutes and the brothels of the 1930s American society. Her flirtatious nature is met with an everlasting disapproval from the workers on the ranch Candy thinks, Curleys marrieda tart, who, got the eye, referring to her engaging character. However, in a letter to Miss Luce, the actress who plays Curleys wife in the play version of the text, Steinbeck explains, She is a nice, kind girl and not a floozy. According to Steinbeck, she is a little starved. She knows utterly nothing about sex except the mass of misinformation girls tell one another. From this, we can deduce that Curleys wife isnt a Looloo, and she isnt likely to be found in Old Susys Place, but due to the fact Curley and her have not consummated their marriage, she feels an object to men no man has considered her as anything except a girl to try to make. Curleys wife, Steinbeck explains, is a nice person, and knows the only way men will notice her is if she is desirable. In Of Mice and Men, Curleys wife experiences loneliness, due to neglect from Curley, and she confesses this to Lennie, Aint I got a right to talk to nobody?' Since no one has tried talking to her, Curleys wife has not proved to be anything more than a floozy, which explains the unpleasant behaviour towards her. It is interesting that, when Candy calls her a tart, there is a pause, as if to suggest caution. Further along in the conversation, Candy asks, You wont tell Curley nothing I said? This implies that Candy is afraid Curley will learn of what he has been saying, as the ranch is the only work hell ever acquire, due to his old age and handicap. The threat of Curleys wife to the workers intimidates them to the point of obeying her. Steinbecks pointed description of how Curleys wife flagrantly flirts with the other workers is a repetition of the theme, which he has earlier shown, using the brothels and his showing of the women who work in them as being mere objects. It is almost as if Curleys wife believes that the only way to get by in life is to be like those women in the brothel, and to offer herself as an object. This is the case in Chapter 4, when Crooks coldly exclaims, You got no right comin in a coloured mans room. Curleys wife uses her position as the boss sons wife, and her contextual superiority over the Negro to threaten him, I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it aint even funny. This is threatening to Crooks, as one simple cry of Rape will result in a lynching. Curleys wife also knows that, despite the harmful comments made by the men on the ranch, she holds a distinct advantage over them Curleys pretty handy. Curley could beat the worker, and get them fired, due to his position as the bo ss son. All but two of the workers fear Curley Slim, Slimwas scowlingYou lay offa me,' and Carlson Ill kick your god-damn head off.' Curleys wife, therefore, can target the remainder of the men, and flirt with them, to further her position. This goes horribly wrong when she begins to pursue Lennie. Firstly, she re-establishes her coyness through Lennies dream, Well if thats all you want, I might get a couple rabbits myself.' Then, in the barn house, she looks, closely at Lennie to see whether she was impressing him, another instance where she is trying to leave her mark on a worker. Curleys wife seals her own fate by exclaiming, Mine [Hair] is soft and finefeel right here.' This is the last stage of Curleys wifes seduction physical contact. She has seen for herself that Lennie likes to pet things, and she foolishly bids Lennie to stroke her hair, knowing full well he will. Lennie strokes too hard, and she flops like a fish. Steinbeck purposefully repeats this simile, as this has been used when Lennie crushes Curleys hand. This shared simile between the married couple suggests similar characteristics between the two most notably the volatile tempers of the two, Whats the matter with me? she cried. As the novella was written in 1930s America, the contextual content would be ever-present. However, coming off of the Depression, the American Dream had been damaged. This is highlighted by Curleys wife, I never got that letter, referring to her failed career as an actress. He says he was gonna put me in the movies. Says I was a natural. This is a prime example of the American Dream a nobody becoming a somebody. However, as with the Depression and many lives in America, this Dream was shattered So I married Curley, almost as if she married him to anger her mother, I always thought my ol lady stole it.' Curleys wife can be classed as the Depression itself the ender of dreams. The Depression ended the American Dream (Curleys wifes dream), as well as other peoples in Of Mice and Men, Curleys wife also ends Lennie and Georges dream, by enticing Lennie, which led to her death, and the end of the Dream. Putting this into reality, these small symbolizations, such as Curleys wife ending Lennie and Georges dream, enhances the understanding of the novel, as the main contextual features are evidently clear, assisted by Steinbecks geographical knowledge of the area Steinbeck was raised in the California area, and he worked on a farm the descriptions of the landscape would therefore be accurate, blurring the line between fact and fiction. One of the most effective symbols that Steinbeck employs to the novel is that of animal imagery. Throughout the novel, Lennie is likened to a bear, due to numerous references, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. The bear-like stance of Lennie suggests his ferocity and power aid him, but he is clumsy, and prone to attack, a true reflection of Lennies character. In the opening and final chapters in the novella, the moods are very different, yet similar. The evocative beginnings to each chapter contain repetition of the deep green pool of the Salinas River, whilst both being disrupted by man. The most significant part about these openings is the disposition of the disturbance in Chapter 1, the rabbits hurried noiselessly for cover, whilst in Chapter 6, Lennies intrusion is as silent as a creeping bear moves, yet another reference to his bear-like stature. However, the most potent form of animal imagery is when it is used in a prefigurative sense. In Chapter 1, A stilted heron laboured up into the air and pounded down-river. In Chapter 6, the heron reappears, A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, andswallowed the little snake. This is a foreshadowing of the events to follow, where George shoots Lennie in the back of the head. Steinbecks manipulation of his short story permits him to substitute ordinary characters and plots with complex, contextual symbolism. This is used to great effect, and enhances the readers understanding of the text, which allows a broader knowledge of both the book and the milieu in which it was written.
