...processed in the short story “The Journey to the Brothers’ Farm”, in which we are introduced to a girl named Annelie. She lives in South Africa, and has experienced terrible things, where she has experienced apartheid at first hand. The composition of the story is very interesting as it is build up in two parts. The part written in italic contains a statement received by the Tweekopfentein Police Station, and contains the things that are important to cover the police investigation and nothing more. The part written in normal typing contains a story of the whole course. It is a special way of building a short story, and it works very effectively, because you become aware of the fact that a criminal act has taken place. The first part of the story contains a description of her childhood. A lady named Miss Kotzee reads a story about a girl called Dulcina, a beautiful girl with white skin, flaxen hair of the purest silk, and fine bones. As she has read the story Annelie starts to wonder whether if she can obtain same fortune herself. She therefore asks Miss Kotzee if she can:“Do you think a prince would ever want to marry Bettina? […] her path in life” (Ll. 11-17)At this point, the reader starts to wonder what makes Annelie unable to obtain same fortune as Dulcina. At first one might think that Annelie is too ugly to marry a prince. But if you start to reflect on what has been said, you quickly stumble upon the focus on skin, bones, faces and fortunes. The story is about much more than...

...Who is the Winner Between Vocational and General Education? No one can argue that education system is very important to modern day’s life. Most people in the world spend their very first decades with it. This is because we value its so much. However, we value it differently. Some said education teaches us not only academic knowledge, but also unconsciously help us to learn about social norm and moral. On the other hand, since the world become more and more competitive, we cannot argue about one of the most important functions of it, preparation for labor market. Each year, new workforces enter the labor market. Most of them just finished from education system and have no job experience. On the other side, companies prefer employees who already have some related job experience, so youth people are seen as second choice. According to World Bank, in 2012 where high-income OECD countries faced 5.7 percent unemployment rate, the unemployment rate of labor below 25 year olds was double at 18.3 percent. The difference between two indicators remains around double throughout the decade. Moreover, the problem of youth unemployment especially with high unemployment rate such as Spain where half of those below 25 year olds cannot find jobs. From these statistics we can say that youth European have the problem. However, vocational education can help them. With the idea of learning to working, vocational student have internship experience with companies since they were in school. So, they...

...adherents and adversaries, but that is not worthless to investigate. Larmore points out that there are two basic problems motivate us to continue research this project. The first one is we always try to seek the moral limits to the government. This is not just that provide rules to constrain the conduct of the rulers. More significant point is to find out the common goods that the government ought to promote and recognize. The second basic problem is that the increasing awareness that the reasonable people tend to differ and disagree about the nature of the good life. This is mainly focus on the reasonable disagreement about what good life should be, the example given by Larmore is religious wars. On the other hand, rather than the views hold by pluralists that who asserts there are many valid forms of human self-realisation, Larmore tends to think that there should be common values we would accept unanimously (e.g. we share certain views that what makes life worth living). Larmore claims the minimal moral conception can be devised political principles which expressing some idea of common goods. One of the methods can be able to describe the idea of that is using “neutrality”, which means that to be neutral with respect to controversial views. Larmore believes that different views of good life can be deemed as so many ways to achieve happiness, desires and satisfaction – common values. And therefore through the way of “neutrality”, we can succeed to bring great amount...

...and development. Research conducted on adult learning theory helps to understand how adults learn better and activities can be developed to enhance their learning skills. Adult learning theory is a self-directed learning based on the assumption that education should focus on the development of the adult learner (Merriam, 2008). It enables the adult learner to become more in control and free. Today’s Army is composed of Soldiers who have chosen to serve voluntary to achieve various goals in life (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Soldiers may pursue education to get promoted to the next rank or to be able to get a job when they transition to Civilian life (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Recent studies conducted show the unemployment rate among veterans higher than non-veteran unemployment rates. Many Soldiers transition out with no intention to go to college although that was their intention when they joined the Military. Academic counselor have resolved that adult learning theory as a part of life mission is important in advising Soldiers make career based decisions (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Advisors use developmental academic advising, intrusive academic advising and prescriptive academic advising when they have to let students understand their academic goals and expectations (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Adult learning theory focuses on the individual learner, how he processes information and how different learning factors enable him to be in control and independent (Merriam, 2008). Adult...

...Sometimes in life, we expect a marriage life to be happily ever after like the children’s stories, Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, but it isn’t always the case. In reality, some marriage life does last forever but some doesn’t. As for mine, it only lasted for a couple years till I finally draw the line and said, “No more of this miserable life.” As time goes on, I have been living in a more stable and happy life compared to the married life I have before. How and why did I do it? Basically, I did it by re-socializing to adapt and cope to the married life I have now. What do I mean by re-socializing? It means that I must learn from my past experiences and make a dramatic change in the area concerning my behaviors, attitudes, expectations, and values to improve my new life. Before I get into my behavior change, I want to give a brief discussion on the topic why people get divorced. There are many reasons why people get divorced, but I will list a few of the important ones. First reason has to do with the break-down in communication and disclosure. This occurs with when both party starts to limit the communication between them. When one stopped talking to the other, it showed a lost of interest to be with the other one. If this goes on, both parties will eventually have negative thoughts such as, he or she is cheating, he or she don’t love me no more, or he or she is up to something no good. These kinds of negative thoughts aren’t good in a marriage life. Another...

...performance and, assess the competition. The first step in the environmental scan process is to conduct a SWOT analysis to determine internal and external strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for growth and trends in the market place. Once the SWOT analysis is complete, it can be reviewed and evaluated to determine areas that the company can create value and sustain competitive advantage through business strategy. In order to sustain the created value and competitive advantage, companies must set measurement guidelines and assess how effective those guidelines are in measuring strategic effectiveness. In order to illustrate how an environmental scan can help a company, we will look at two different organizations. The two companies are Caterpillar Logistics, Inc. and Monumental Life Insurance Company. Caterpillar Logistics, Inc. is in the business of distributing parts for Caterpillar, Inc. machines. Monumental Life Insurance Company is in the business of selling life, health, and disability income insurance to American families. We will look at each company separately. Caterpillar Logistics, Inc. Caterpillar Logistics, Inc. has many strengths including quality parts, dealer networks, parts availability, inventory control systems, and twenty-four hour emergency service. Caterpillar parts are original manufacturer parts whose quality is superior to those manufactured by the competition. The dealer network helps to distribute parts efficiently to Caterpillar customers. With...

...Prompt 1 All stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Yann Martel’s Life of Pi is no different. However, some argue that the first part, which deals with Pi’s coming of age and homeland, could be disregarded entirely to make a stronger novel. In viewing the completed work, it is clear that every component, no matter how obscure or bizarre, is absolutely critical to the success of the novel. All elements of the writing, from Pi’s religion to his fascination with sloths, are vital, for they all work together to describe a larger story. At first, the explanation of Pi’s religion and the nature of animals appears to be repetitive and irrelevant. It is nothing more than supportive information, which seems only useful when Pi prays to both Jesus and Vishnu, or when he rattles off facts about female orangutans. As he wrestles with isolation, danger, and despair, he...

...successful. Mostly, Gladwell argues that "hidden advantages", "extraordinary opportunities", and "cultural legacies" are the main factors that play a part in a person's level of success. So, due to these particular aspects that help make a person a success, not everyone is capable of becoming an outlier. People must have certain things working for them in order to become successful. A person must have "hidden advantages" working for them. They must have "extraordinary opportunities" that they are able to take. Furthermore, certain cultures have traits that are important in becoming successful, so a person's "cultural legacies" play a large part in the journey to success. In Outliers, Gladwell provides numerous examples of these key aspects being a part of a successful person's life, but are they actually true for every person that is an outlier?...

...Jessica Polster Liberty University Abstract Resilience or bouncing back after trauma, happens to all people at some time in their life. Whether that be after the death of a family member, seeing combat, watching a friend die, being abused, there are many forms of trauma that people deal with on a day-to-day basis. “The term resilience is used across a variety of domains†(Dees, 2011). How someone bounces back after the trauma plays a big role in how they will live out the rest of their lives. Some people after a trauma occurs make sure they guard their current relationships of the people who had helped them out. They also might rethink their future, maybe they need a job change, maybe it’s that person’s turn to comfort someone else who is hurting.

...At the beginning of the story the author tells us that the narrator didn’t like to give advices. The narrator thought about life and showed his attitude to the whole life. He said that he didn’t know anything of others. But then the narrator remembered that once he had advised well. Once a man, a total stranger, came to him and ask him for a piece of advice. He wanted to know if he would have any chance to have a job in Spain. The narrator said that if he wasn’t worried about money, he would be success. 15 years later the narrator happened to be in Servile. He had some in disposition and went to an English doctor. It turned out that this doctor was Stephens. He was happy in Spain. And thanked the narrator a lot. The method of character’s portrayed is indirect, which sometimes called dramatic. The author didn’t comment upon the person ages, the author made them act, speak and let the reader judge for himself. The main characters of the story are the narrator and Stephens. The narrator was an intelligent, clever and bright. We can judge by his way of narration, speech. He was a doctor but didn’t practice. And first of all he was a writer.

He thought a lot about life and tried to understand the value of life. ‘And life is something that you can lead but once…’ He is responsible man. Stephens was a little man, thick-set, stout.

...English 111 October 30th, 14 Personal Narrative Life is all about making choices, but some of them can even change our life. Four years ago, I walked out the Washington Dulles International Airport for the first time. This was a significant event that changed everything about my life and me. Although leaving Saudi Arabia was a tough decision to make, I knew I would be leaving my family, my homeland, and my friends to go to a far-away place to seek for a better life. My parents supported my decision because they believe life is wonderful and the world was big. Arriving in a new country was exciting and discomforting. America is a wonderful place to live, which is full of adventure and challenge. I was highly fascinated by the Western culture. Although I lived in a westernized household and grew up in international schools, I learned English since I was a child. However, my writing and oral abilities tend not to be adequate. I had to study hard to improve my English, so that I can understand the people and the language more. Since I came to America, I made great progress not only foreign language but also adaptive capacity. I believe the most significant part of my life is when I was able to cope with the social differences I faced in two different countries. The most important social differences that affected me and made me who I am today are family, religion, and gender equality. Family is one of the most important parts of Arab culture. Westerners define their family as...

...Life Span Perspective Paper PSY/375 October 15, 2013 Dr. Cynthia Jenkins We all start out as babies coming into the world knowing nothing about our lives or where our lives will take us. This paper will explain the life span perspective of development and summarize two theories of life span development. As humans we have the genetics and heredity issues that can contribute to our development in our life span. Then there is the environment we live in that can produce individual differences in development. Let’s first take a look at the life span perspective of development. To understand the life span perspective you must first know what it means. The life span perspective is an approach to the study of human development that takes into account all phase of life, not just childhood and adulthood (Berger, 2011). Human development can be viewed in five characteristics 1. Multidirectional- when life takes a turn such as divorce. The next direction in life is to adapt to the new single life that may now include children. 2. Multicontextual- would consist of your surrounding that is changing such as family and friends, school, workplace, and the world of politics, and economics. 3. Multicultural-consists of being exposed to the different cultures in life. This could be living in a neighborhood, members of an ethic group, and even students in college who are all coming from different cultures but trying to create a classroom environment. 4. Multidisciplinary-a...
