...Coming to Terms with Perfection: The Case of Terri Schiavo. By: Hyde, Michael J.; McSpiritt, Sarah. Quarterly Journal of Speech, May2007, Vol. 93 Issue 2, p150-178, 29p; Abstract: Our project is intended to supplement and extend research that emphasizes how the rhetoric informing the euthanasia debate admits a call of conscience and how this call would have us act heroically as we acknowledge what is arguably some particular truth that is at work in the debate (e.g., only God has the right to take a life). The relationship between conscience, acknowledgment, heroism, truth and rhetoric, we submit, presupposes the workings of our metaphysical desire for perfection - a desire that is definitely on hand when debating issues of the "good life" and the "good death." The relationship constitutes a rhetoric of perfection that plays an essential role in the euthanasia debate as a whole. Such a rhetoric lies at the heart of the recent and much publicized case of Terri Schiavo - a young woman who lived in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years before she was allowed to die the "dignified" death that she supposedly wanted all along.

...Being Gay: Coming Out In The 21st Century People come from shame to pride, which is a long process. In the 1940’s the military says that you are not criminals, you are just ill. As the wars ended, and they were getting rid of military men, they started weeding out the gays. Their rights were taken away, and they were not allowed back into the military. No one ever spoke the words “gay” or “lesbian”. In 1969 stonewall took place and police showed up at the bars where the gays hung out. Typically no one fought back, however, this time they did. They say stonewall was their coming out. Activism never stopped from that point on. In 1973 the American Psychiatry removed homosexuality as a mental disorder. Then 1980 came and AIDS began spreading, and at that time there was 1.5 million people that had been diagnosed. In 1990 gay parades were going on, celebrities began coming out to the public. Even though today homosexuals are more accepted, there are still many homophobes and bigotry. Some say they get rocks thrown at them and get called names such as “fag”. Rev. Dr. Penny Nixon says that she won’t hold her girlfriends hand in public for fear that she will get beat up. There are some people who will even kill gays/lesbians when they see them. Matthew Shepherd was tied to a fence and beaten and left to die because he was gay. Research now shows that being homosexual is not an illness, not a choice, and no abnormal. Early on, “gay” meant happy, and now it is used primarily...

...interpretation of Yeats’ ‘The Second Coming’ and at least one other poem align with this view? In your response, make detailed reference to ‘The Second Coming’ and at least ONE other poem set for study. Note to students: This question requires you to write about ‘The Second Coming’. Students are reminded that they are required to fully prepare all poems set for study in any elective, as the examiners can be very specific and name one or more poems that must be addressed in the answer. Sample response: Poetry Prescribed text: WB Yeats: Poems Selected by Seamus Heaney Introduction outlines the common aspects of both poems while responding to the question | Yeats had a distinctive world view that is evident in much of his poetry and explored through recurring imagery and motifs, as well as through language and ideas specific to individual poems. His views about civilization and change are expressed in ‘Leda and the Swan’ and ‘The Second Coming’ which, taken together, explore the beginning and the end of Western history in Yeats’ terms. Both poems look at the supernatural influence on human affairs, at a tipping point between stability and change. They consider human helplessness in the face of blind destiny, but also examine human acquiescence in the march of history. While they share features of language and structure, they also present ideas in ways particular to each poem. | Yeats’ world view briefly addressed in terms relevant to the poems and the questionDiscussion...

...the trailers for the movies ‘John Tucker Must Die’ & ‘Mean Girls’ An analysis in terms of generic conventions in the trailers for the movies “John Tucker must die” and “Mean Girls”. Genre is defined as ‘A large category of stories united by their particular settings, characters, themes and narrative conflicts’ (Worland 2007, pg15). This assignment will look at the generic conventions a coming of age/ teen film (what we expect to see), aspects such as typical situations, stock characters, style, icons and setting. In terms of themes in coming of age (teen films) (subjects that are dealt with within the text) they tend to focus around, first love, rebellion, and conflict with parents, teen angst or alienation. In terms of what we would typically see within the genre ‘teen/coming of age’ film it is in the interest of the target audience and making the plot relatable and focus on their interests. The first trailer to be analysed is “Mean Girls”, a teen movie released in 2004. The style of “Mean Girls” is glossy, the use of high key lighting creates an expensive look and the contrast of high/bright colours makes the film more vivid and eye catching the use of the bright colours encourages a cheerful and young audience. In the first shot we see ‘Kady Heron’ in class she looks bland and has no character and is introduced as the new ‘student’ which is typical for the plot of a teen (coming of age movie) and the non-diegetic sound tracking playing in the back background gives...

...statement that shows the sources and all of the uses of cash for an accounting period.” (Kemp & Waybright, 2013; 2010, p. 586) The statement of cash flows is also called the cash flow statement. Cash is the most important life line of a business. Without cash, the business cannot successfully maintain stability. Furthermore, without knowing where the cash is coming from, and going to, investors are more likely to not be attracted to the business. Businesses are much like people, in the sense that they are constantly worried about cash flow. They need a statement to explain to them where the cash is going, where it is coming from, and where they started to where they have come in the period. This is the statement of cash flows. The statement of cash flows categorizes the uses and sources of cash into three categories, operating activities, financing activities, and investing activities. The first category is operating activities. Operating activities are a part of the uses of cash, as well as, the sources of cash in a business. Uses of cash for a business are obviously how the business uses the cash, or in more basic terms how it spends its money (cash out). The sources of cash are respectively, the places the business gets its money (cash in). Operating cash flows, using the indirect method, includes net income, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses, gains and losses on the sale of assets, and changes in the current assets and the current liabilities. The operating...

...Infrastructure ………………………………..…… 9 4. CONCLUSIONS …………………………………………………………… 9 REFERENCES …………………………………………………………………………… 10 SUMMARY The demand for LNG has grown globally in the recent times and it has grown even more rapidly in the Asia Pacific region where many countries rely solely on imports for all of their gas needs. Gas now accounts for more than a quarter of world’s primary energy consumption. With an increasing emphasis on the environmental issues and the need for cleaner energy, the LNG market is expected to expand at even higher rate in the coming years. This increased demand will put a lot of pressure on the suppliers to explore new fields for development and to enhance their existing production capabilities so as to retain their market share. The purpose of this short essay is to assess the LNG market trends and future outlook in the Asia Pacific region. Also discussed are the efforts being made in terms of infrastructure development (production and storage facilities) in LNG industry. 1. INTRODUCTION The world LNG trade consists of two major markets – The Asia Pacific market and the Atlantic market. The Asia Pacific market consists of buyers from Japan, Korea, Taipei, India, China,...

...'Terms of Trade - TOT' The value of a country's exports relative to that of its imports. It is calculated by dividing the value of exports by the value of imports, then multiplying the result by 100. If a country's terms of trade (TOT) is less than 100%, there is more capital going out (to buy imports) than there is coming in. A result greater than 100% means the country is accumulating capital (more money is coming in from exports). Using the terms of trade to determine the health of a country's economy can draw the wrong conclusions. It is important to know why exports increase relative to imports, especially since the terms of trade are directly impacted by changes in export and import prices. Terms of trade measurement is often recorded in an index for economic monitoring. If a country's terms of trade improve, it means that for every unit of exports sold it can buy more units of imported goods. So potentially, a rise in the terms of trade creates a benefit in terms of how many goods need to be exported to buy a given amount of imports. It can also have a beneficial effect on domestic cost-push inflation as an improvement indicates falling import prices relative to export prices. However, countries may suffer in terms of falling export volumes and a worsening balance of payments. The UK's terms of trade have generally improved over the last 20 years, indicating that exports price have has been rising relative to import prices. This is partly caused by the fact that globalisation has...

...Current Issue in Life-Span Development In the field of life-span development, current issues are plentiful. The development of homosexuality and the phase’s a person goes through to reach a place where they are comfortable with themselves is a journey in itself. It was in 1892 that the term homosexuality was first used. A homosexual (2011), according to Merriam Webster Online, “of or having sexual desire for those of the same sex.” In order to understand the development of identity of homosexuals, it is first important to be mindful of the framework of sexuality in general. The term homosexuality is used to depict the comprehension of sexuality however; in today’s society; the preferred verbiage to define individuals is being gay or lesbian. Homosexuality and Life-span Development Sullivan and Schneider (1987) argue that homosexual coming out in youth has to be seen from a non-derogatory developmental perspective. In an attempt to react to the unique pressures found in adolescents showing an increasing gay or lesbian identity, psychologists and counselors must become familiar with the distinctive development of gay and lesbian adolescents, in addition to the sexual identity development literature in general. Reviewing the developmental issues of gay and lesbian adolescents creates thoughts concerning developing services to assist them. Often times, adults are hesitant to pay attention to adolescent communications concerning sexuality. These feelings begin to arise during...

...decrease in the future. T-bill is a short term security with maturity at less than 1 year. So the supply of T-bills will decrease as people would want to buy more long term securities with the intuition that the interest rate will fall in the future and everyone would want their money to be blocked at a long term security which would give more interest. Interest Rate Interest Rate Year Year 2005 2005 2009 2009 Figure: Yield Curve In 2005 and 2006, the inflation rate averaged 3.3%. It is expected that the inflation rate will fall to 2.5% in 2007 and to fall further to 2% in both 2008 and 2009. Since the inflation rate is interpreted to decrease in the future, the interest rate of the securities will be expected to decrease accordingly in the coming years since inflation and interest has a direct relationship among them. The supply of short term securities will decrease and long term securities will increase as people will be looking forward to spending less in the future when the interest rate will fall. Everyone would want to commit more at the moment and buy long term securities. Likewise, the demand for short term loans will go up and for long term loans will go down as people will want to take more loans in the future when the interest rate will be decreasing as forecasted. An equation that represents the liquidity premium theory of the term-structure of...
