...Actions done by reason of ignorance Every action one proceeds in doing will always have its consequences whether they are good out bad. All actions are governed by two main categories: voluntary and involuntary. It is through these two categories can one determine where the responsibility of the action lies and what is the proper outcome that the person who performs the action should receive. As Aristotle has mentioned, if the act is voluntary one should be praised or blamed, but should be given reason to be pardoned and sometimes even forgiveness if involuntary. However, what can be said about action done out of ignorance? It seems that some actions can be blame on the person who acted and others cannot. The following essay will discuss the concerns on when one is blameworthy for their action and when one is not. An action performed out of ignorance is, as it said, a deed that one carries out unknowingly or not understanding/given complete information of the situation. An example of that would be, if Anne was driving on a highway and a person, Carl, jump out of nowhere. Anne hits Carl and kills him. Anne cannot be blame for killing Carl because Carl had no reason to be there and Anne had no idea if she had continued down the highway she would have killed someone. Of course one could argue that driving can be considered a dangerous act to begin with and that Anne should have been aware of the consequence that might transpire. In spite of this, Anne still should not be blame...

...that these five functions are necessary to complete the designated tasks at hand. My current employer is GA Mates/RESET located on base of Fort Stewart Georgia. Basically what we do is take the equipment of units coming back from deployment and fixed them. At one point we had so many pieces that organization was and still is a necessity. The five functions are necessary to keep the process running smoothly because there are so many moving pieces. At my current employer, my superiors set the standards and we abide by them. Throughout my essay, I will be discussing how the five management functions are important and applied to our daily duties. Knowing my job and what I have to do is a key factor in making sure things are going the way they should be going. My title at GA RESET is data entry clerk/technician. What I do is take those pieces of equipment, inventory them, cut jobs for them to be worked on, update the progress, close out the job, and keep record of the pieces coming in and out of the shop. Each section, in our place of employment, is responsible for implementing the five functions. Planning “Managers use planning to choose appropriate organizational goals and identify courses of action to best reach those goals” (Reilly, 2011). Within my job, there is always planning to be done. Because we are constantly receiving and delivering equipment, a plan has to be created in order to have some type of organization. Although planning involves competition between other companies...

...the satiric piece “Bitches Ain’t Shit But Hoes and Tricks” and study: “Gangsta Misogyny: A Content Analysis of the Portrayals of Violence Against Women in Rap Music 1987-1993” serve a purpose to change the way women are portrayed in popular culture. These pieces effectively point out the fact that women are looked upon in a very negative light, though one is conducted as a study and the other is satire. The satirical piece also pokes fun at other aspects in popular culture. Beginning with the title, “Study Confirms That Bitches, As Suspected, Ain’t Shit But Hoes and Tricks” the piece pokes fun at common culture as well as academia because of the outlandish study. However, looking deeper into the article it is apparent that the piece exploits the way that society displays women as its main topic. The piece points out that this negative view isn’t a new idea as “Shakespeare used the sentence “Wenches art naut beside harlots and strumpets” in his private works, but it had never been presented publicly.” This gives a timeframe to the crisis. This piece really brings up the issue, however it lacks the resolve and seriousness needed to make a change. The study: “Gangsta Misogyny: A Content Analysis of the Portrayals of Violence Against Women in Rap Music 1987-1993” gives a better analysis of the same problem brought up in the satirical piece. This work is presented in a much different way and offers much more evidence and explanation supporting its claims. This piece states that,...

...techniques that were used. The Baroque period ran from 1600 to 1770, Artist of that time used different techniques that were used during the renaissance period to bring drama to art. An immense amount of art in that period shows fantastic energy and emotion. These pieces of art that were designed and created during the Baroque period brought out emotion in the onlookers of the paintings and sculptures. Some of the ways the artist conveyed emotions in their pieces or works is they used dramatic use of light, scale and composition and the curves and the counter curves. The pieces usually hit the onlooker first, by the emotions that were portrayed by the way the artist conveyed his image in his pieces. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggios is said to have lived the most dangerous and darkest life of most painters, it is said that he lived his life without any restraints. He painted ordinary people as models and painted them with unforgiving realism. His feeling against tradition gave new meaning to traditional themes in religious painting. In his early painting you can see his full revolt against both mannerism and classicism, later as he painted more religious pieces like the “conversation of Saint Paul” 1600 to 1601. The painting recalls the moment when Saul of Tarsus was on his way to Damascus to destroy the Christion community, and was stopped by a blinding light, and heard a voice saying “ Saul Saul why do you persecute me”? " 5: And he said, "Who are...

...Conclusions on Women in Ancient Egypt -Pilgrim couple The Met, 1982.60.291 ca. 1755–59, Italian (Naples) -Statue of Demedji and Hennutsen The Met, 51.37 ca. 2465–2438 B.C., Egypt, Memphite Region, el-Giza or Saqqara Learning about certain ancient cultures can be difficult when there is not a lot of documentation about daily events and actions, as these two aspects of life are the ones that tell us most about the needs and beliefs of a culture. Learning about the needs and beliefs of ancient Egyptian culture brings up these barriers. In order to get an idea of the events and actions that pertained to the needs and beliefs of ancient Egyptians, we can look at certain physical artifacts from the time. Art and everyday objects can explain a lot about the daily events and actions of ancient Egyptians. However, these objects cannot give a thorough explanation about aspects of the culture on their own. In order to make the most out of the interpretation of ancient artifacts, they must be compared to similar artifacts from a culture that is known by the individual conducting the comparison. Finding the similarities and differences between the objects’ appearance and usage can lead to conclusions about the culture as a whole. One aspect of Egyptian culture that can be learned about and analyzed through certain artifacts is the depiction of women, and how women were viewed by other members of ancient Egyptian society. The way women are depicted in art during the times of ancient...

...ship. We often have say something or act to others that may result in misconception, these misconceptions create barriers to engaging in effective exchange and genuine conversation. Both actions and words can become a double edged sword that stab into others feelings. In this installation, it is created for us to reflect ourselves in this kind of situation which we take time to think and clear our thoughts before we act or say anything that may ruin a perfect relationship. This piece reflects myself as a person, it is important for me to take a chance to change myself to a better communicative person and improve my self awareness, selfreflection and selfjudgement. The paper bags demonstrate the space for the thoughts of our mind, its the form of selfreflection through isolating yourself from the outside world. It gives everyone an opportunity to wear the bag on their head to reflect themselves before they start to communicate with others. The more selfaware we are, the more able we are to manage our own behaviour and ability to adapt our behaviour to changing circumstances is greater. The hanging chess pieces imply the reflection of life, the game of chess was consciously designed to represent the world of transformations on a restricted field of action. This may as well reflect to my own experiences of changes of...

...In Frankenstein there are many actions chosen by the characters that could be viewed as evil or immoral. While their actions are viewed as sinful there tends to be sympathy evoked due to one’s knowledge of the character’s background and person. Victor’s monster would appear horrid and vile until the monster’s background information is presented to the reader. Having all the pieces of the puzzle changes one’s perspective which changes the opinion of the reader and characters. In Frankenstein the full presentation of the monster’s background information and thoughts helps the reader sympathize with the monster’s otherwise evil actions.

...The characters that are in "The Piece of String" and "The Necklace," both by Guy de Mauspassant, are very alike and yet very similar in certain aspects as well. The main character in "The Piece of String," Maitre Hauchecome, resembles Madame Loisel from "The Necklace" in a number of ways. Both are the protagonist of the story. Maitre Hauchecome was accused of stealing a pocketbook from someone and Madame Loisel lost her friend’s expensive diamond necklace. In both cases, the characters do not have an item they should have had in their possession or accused of having. Nevertheless, Maitre Hauchecome is angered when he realizes that nobody believes him for not having the missing item with him, while Madame Loisel feels deep distress and anxiety about loosing her item. Maitre Hauchecome also somewhat acts like Monsieur Loisel because he appears to be a caring, gentle, poor man who tries to please people. The characters reacted to their situations differently. In "The Piece of String," Maitre Fortune Houlbreque resembles Madame Forestier in "The Necklace" because Maitre Fortune Houlbreque lost a pocketbook and Madame Forestier’s friend lost her diamond necklace; both characters were missing an item. Also, Maitre Malandain from "The Piece of String" and Monsieur Loisel from "The Necklace" are characters who are quite different; Maitre Malandain told people that Maitre Hauchecome was guilty of the crime against him; he didn’t want to help him at all. Monsieur Loisel bent over backwards...

...Business communication Communication in Business * Produce and evaluate two or more pieces of external communication based on your chosen business. BY MILLIE FISHER Introduction Throughout the report I shall be evaluating two pieces of external communication for the company Mulberry. One of the pieces in which I have created myself and the other a real piece used by Mulberry. I will be evaluating these adverts whilst considering audience, purpose and effectiveness once establishing the type, medium and method for each communication. I will also need to evaluate these two pieces of external communication as key contributors to review the success of the organization. Examples to demonstrate these points will also be included. Along side this I will also discuss if the external communication works and compare both pieces, stating improvements. Included in this report is also a bibliography which will include a list of references that I have used as research to find my information. Methodology When creating my advertisement, I considered key criteria. My key criteria aimed for my poster to include a hook, a piece of information, a call for action and a purpose which targeted my audience. In class we brainstormed the key criteria before making our own advert to assess how we could include these elements into the external communication. As a class we all made rough drafts of our posters and jotted down a range of different ideas as a rough draft. I decided to also evaluate...

...Seeing without sight, An examination of Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii, is a marble sculpture created by Randolph Rogers. It is in near perfect condition as of today. The title of the sculpture is quite straightforward; one instantly recognizes that the girl is blind. However, anyone looking upon the sculpture can identify the girl’s blindness, not only because of the sculptor’s title but from the aesthetics of the sculpture itself. It could be said that the title is not needed because we can tell by her posture that she is fully relying on her sense of sound. While one examines Nydia's posture, lines, angles, shadows, motion, and volume, Nydia comes to life with emotion. At first glance, we see a young girl, perhaps in her twenties, with her eyes closed and her body slightly tilted to the left in a stride. Her arms are both bent at the elbows, one is held to her head and the other to her waist. This is showing right away that she is in motion, by looking at the positioning of her arms and body. The palm of her left hand is rounded up to her face, around her ear, as if she is carefully listening for something specific. Her right hand holds a walking stick. At the base of the walking stick is a basket, located by her feet, which looks as if it could have once held flowers. It is not plain, it exhibits a symmetric pattern of flowers. She is standing on a simple circular base with no design on it. Nydia’s hair is held in an up do, with some...

...Enumerate the decision factors – alternative courses of action, using high quality look alike products to fulfill demand. Uncertainties – political turmoil in supply countries. Consider relevant information – determine what is relevant and then use it to decide the course of action. Will there be a market for look-alike products and will it be profitable? Identify the best alternative – use a decision tree or flow chart to plot/graph outcomes. Hire more craftsmen to craft similar or invest more in a volatile supply countries environment in an attempt to get more products? Develop a plan – Make happen the course you have decided on. Hire more skilled craftsmen to make products in countries that were not feasible to operate in. Evaluate – A decision was made and it was appropriate for the case. #2 Nature of the industry – How do buyers buy in this industry? In countries with serious turmoil and regulations on the export of artifacts, “knock offs” must be considered and offered for sale. The organization – What is it offering for the market? In this case both real artifacts and high quality, high end replicas to consumers. The factors that led to using replicas have driven up demand. A plan of action – What actions are available to the organization? Trying harder to work with supply countries to secure a dependable supply or offering high quality replicas. Potential outcomes – How will the course of action affect the buyer? In this case it meant more sales to...

...The Orpheus Orchestra is unique. It is a full functioning, Grammy winning, 28 base member orchestra, formed in 1972. (Khodyakov, 2007) Orpheus’ membership is comprised of world class musicians, some noted for their solo efforts. What makes the Orpheus Orchestra unique is the fact that it practices and performs without a conductor, making it in some ways when compared with other orchestras, leaderless. But the Orpheus Orchestra has many leaders; in fact all its members are leaders. They each contribute to the creativity and innovation of the musical performances and through rotating leadership for coordination of practices and by sub groups that focus on piece delivery, the groups organizational structure promotes a form of trust and control that is intertwined, ultimately producing an exceptional output, and nurturing members whose creativity is not stifled and unlike most orchestras, have high satisfaction in their jobs. There are many lessons that large business organizations such as Kraft that can learn from the governance structure in place for the Orpheus Orchestra. Large corporations are constantly looking for ways to light a creative spark in their teams, to be more innovative and more productive. We learned how Electrolux did this in our last case study, by creating cross functional development teams. The structure in the Orpheus Orchestra also promotes creativity. Often organizations exercise control over their employees to ensure that operations run smoothly...

...moderate political views. Such citizens are likely to read CNN because it is a more moderate, mainstream news outlet. Contrarily, In Meghan Meehan’s “In Harm’s Way,” Meehan protests the fact that the war in Afghanistan is causing many civilian deaths. Her piece is effective in using pathos to tug the heart strings of some readers; however, Meehan’s piece lacks other effective rhetorical strategies. Her piece also lacks a plan to stop these civilian deaths, which would incentivize the reader to participate in the solution. On the other hand, McCain effectively utilizes appeals to authority, strategic repetition, and ethos to convey the importance of winning the war in Afghanistan....

...Surprisingly, all sorts of interesting verbs are packed into this short memoir. Found in the memoir in paragraph five, the author writes, “In the silence of that moment, I began to hear the clock ticking.” (Anonymous 1) The action verb ticking sticks out when reading the sentence. Instead of a boring action verb like turning, ticking accurately describes the true sound that is heard when a clock is nearby. By saying the clock is ticking, it gives an intense and stressful tone. Another compelling action verb is found in paragraph sentence where the author explains, “I had an urge...to climb up into the highest corners of my closet and rescue the items that had been mingling with the spiders.” (Anonymous 1) Instead of telling the readers she was concerned about spiders covering her old items, she expressed her interpretation of how the spiders were so intertwined into her items that they were basically buried. The action verb “mingling” is used in such a phenomenal way in this sentence. It is proving just how impressive her imagination is. To be able to imagine her items being left unattended for so long, convincing herself there are spiders covering them is remarkable. In addition to action verbs being used in this piece, the author also includes similes and alliteration as figurative language into her writer’s...
