...to Abraham. In both of the stories, Abraham and the king Sibi face to make such a difficult decision like offering his own son to God and giving up the dove which sought for his protection. The dove in Sibi is like Isaac, in the story of Abraham and Isaac, as it also has the same role as the offering for sacrifice but in this case not to God but to a hawk. Furthermore, the hawk and God play the role of testing the king Sibi and Abraham whether the king Sibi would give up the dove or Abraham would sacrifice his son, Isaac. At last, the both of the stories have the same literary characteristic of Deus ex machine where the angel of the Lord or Indra and the God of Fire resolve the whole conflicts of the stories. In the story of Abraham and Isaac, the angel of the Lord stops Abraham from sacrificing his son, Isaac. In addition, the angel of the Lord told Abraham about the ram which was caught by its horn in a thicket which would be sacrificed instead of Isaac. In the end of Sibi, the hawk transforms into Indra and the dove transforms into the God of Fire and congratulated the king Sibi for succeeding and beating the challenge of gods. Sibi and the story of Abraham and Isaac are very interesting stories where they both have major conflictions whether to sacrifice his own son (Abraham and Isaac) to God or give up the dove to the hawk (Sibi) as a prey. However, there is a major difference on how and what they decided to do about the situation. In the story of Abraham and Isaac, Abraham...

...K.B B.U 24.02.2014 1) Briefly discuss the similarities between real world situations and the concepts of prisoners’ dilemma, battle of sexes, matching pennies and hawk-dove games. Prisoners' dilemma Example 1 Barbers shop and Hairdressing are located in the same area. Each barber wants to have more clients. Each Decided to discount. Barbers shop made a discount 20% because he thought that Hairdressing will make 10% discount, and Hairdressing also made a discount because he also thought that Barbers shop will make 10% discount. Each barber's dominant strategy is 20%, which gives an inferior outcome if both use their dominant strategy. Barber's situation is similar to prisoner's dilemma because in this game if each player uses its dominant strategy it gives an inferior outcome. Of course they can cooperate and choose the best option for both of them. Example 2 Warsaw University and Politechnick University are two famous universities in Poland. Both universities want to have more international students. Each decided to discount for international students. Warsaw University made a discount 30% because he thought that Politechnick University will make a 20% discount, and here Politechnik University also made a discount because he also thought that Warsaw...

...Figurative language can come in many ways, such as personification or an idiom, but mostly focused using similes and metaphors. By using this Homeric simile, Homer can further convey, and slightly intensify, what was going on in the story. Going back to before Hector’s death, Achilles was on his way to avenge his dear friend Patroclus, who was slain by Hector. Homer relates the two as predator and prey, with Achilles as a fierce hawk and Hector as a peaceful dove, writing “As a snake in the hills, guarding his hole, awaits a man bloated with poison, deadly hatred seething inside him,” (Book 22 5-6). In the excerpt, Achilles was described as a warrior with both fiery rage and overwhelming power. Meanwhile, the chase starts, with Achilles the hawk charging at Hector. “And Achilles went for him, fast, sure of his speed as the wild mountain hawk, the quickest thing on wing, launching smoothly, swooping down on a cringing dove and the dove flits out from under, the hawk screaming over the quarry, plunging over and over, his fury driving him down to beak and tear his kill- so Achilles flew at him, breakneck on fury with hector fleeing along the walls of troy, fast as his legs would go,” (Book 22 58-66). In this part of the book, it is seen that Achilles means to be taken seriously, and has no room for debate about what he will do next. He was the merciless protector, with the contrast of the cowardice prince who stands up to defend his city...

...Vietnam War Vietnam had been part of a French colony in Indochina. French Indochina was established when France took control of northern Vietnam following their victory over China.1 The northern part of Vietnam was controlled by Ho Chi Minh and his communist Viet Minh party.2 The Vietcong was a political organization and army in South Vietnam that fought the U.S and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War. ith the W Cold War intensifying, the United States hardened its policies against any allies of the Soviet Union, and by 1955 Presidentwight D. Eisenhower D had pledged his firm support to Diem and South Vietnam.3 John F. Kennedy sent a group to south vietnam and advised a build up of American military. U.S politicians believed in the domino theory which is the belief that if one country fell to communism, its neighbours would follow.4 The U.S was depending on this theory and by the time the military grew. The U.S was trying to get rid of communism and with this the U.S and other countries took part in forming the SEATO ( Southeast Asia Treaty Organization). The purpose of SEATO was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region.5 The USS Maddox was a destroyer ship and in August 1964, MADDOX was one of the leading actors in the Tonkin Incident that eventually lead to the Vietnam War.6 The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed by congress to promote the maintenance of peace and security in southeast asia...

...Doves Chanting, all I could hear was chanting. I walked to my dorm window and peered out. Thousands of kids were walking on our campus. I knew what it was for. From the window, I could clearly see two guys holding up a banner. It read, “Against The War!” Most people were chanting but others were stomping, like an army or something…. odd. I yawned and turned around so my back was facing the protesters. Walking to my dresser, I pondered. Should I join them? I shook the thought as I remembered what kind of trouble I could get in. Here at Berkeley, the officials banned political solicitations for any civil right movements. If I didn't know this, the protesters would be like vultures to ensure I knew this. Somehow, I got here, at U.C. Berkeley,...

...RICHARD DAWKINS-The Selfish Gene. Ebook v1.0. 'Who should read this book? Everyone interested in the universe and their place in it.' Jeffrey R. Baylis, Animal Behaviour Our genes made us. We animals exist for their preservation and are nothing more than their throwaway survival machines. The world of the selfish gene is one of savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit. But what of the acts of apparent altruism found in nature-the bees who commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, or the birds who risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk? Do they contravene the fundamental law of gene selfishness? By no means: Dawkins shows that the selfish gene is also the subtle gene. And he holds out the hope that our species-alone on earth-has the power to rebel against the designs of the selfish gene. This book is a call to arms. It is both manual and manifesto, and it grips like a thriller. The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins's brilliant first book and still his most famous, is an international bestseller in thirteen languages. For this new edition there are two major new chapters. 'learned, witty, and very well written...exhilaratingly good.' Sir Peter Medawar, Spectator Richard Dawkins is a Lecturer in Zoology at Oxford University and a Fellow of Mew College, and the author of The Blind Watchmaker. Preface to 1976 edition This book should be read almost as though it were science fiction. It is designed to appeal to the imagination. But it is not science...

...Regents Review: Cold War (1945-1989) • United Nations: After World War II ended, nations joined in forming the United Nations. The organization’s purpose includes peacekeeping, fighting hunger and disease and promoting education. • Although allies during World War II, the United States and Soviet Union entered into a period of distrust and competition after the War. Because the two never fought directly, this was known as the Cold War. • Countries in Eastern Europe (and the eastern half of Germany) fell under the control of the Communist rule of the U.S.S.R after World War II. Winston Churchill used the phrase Iron Curtain to describe the divide between the Capitalist West and Communist East. • America’s policy during this time was containment: prevent the further spread of Communism. Included in this policy was to provide economic and military aid to countries such as Greece and Turkey through the Truman Doctrine, and to provide economic aid to Europe through the Marshall Plan. • Both sides created organizations of collective security (“attack on one equals attack on all”); the West formed NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization); the East formed the Warsaw Pact. • Although a “cold” war, several “hot spots” did develop: o Berlin Airlift (1949): USSR tried to prevent western aid from reaching West Berlin, Germany (which was located geographically within East Germany). The west airlifted food into the city and the Soviets backed down. (Berlin would be...

...Ecosystem of the Mojave Desert Bio/101 March 5, 2012 Ecosystem of the Mojave Desert The Mojave Desert is 54,000 square miles of its own special brand of diversity; it is one desert - rather than a series of separate entities. By becoming aware of the combined identity, appreciation and better understanding of the issues that affect the Mojave Desert can occur on a holistic level. Generally, at the edges of the Mojave are areas where dominant plant and animal species change from one to another and both, to various degrees may be possibly found on the fringes of the other. The Mojave Desert ecosystem evolves from plants and animals which are resources within each other. Adaption to the rough temperatures and little water, these ecosystems finds many ways to survive. This ecosystem plays host to a wide variety of plants and animals living in an environment that humans may think are harsh conditions. Many animals get their energy by eating plants, but desert plants give up the fruit of their production very reluctantly. Sharp spines, such as a cactus, discourage plant-eaters. The Mule deer avoids these obstacles by eating seeds, although safe to eat, they can be hard to find. Many are small and look like grains of sand. The plant's solar energy flows through the ecosystem as Mule deer, and other herbivores like jackrabbits, fall prey to carnivores like great horned owls, coyotes, bobcats, or snakes (Townsend, Harper & Begon, 2000). Survival in the desert cannot occur...

...the consequences may be tolerable based on the actions taken. The United States is a Nuclear nation therefore you must make a calculated decision based on the risk. This is not the first time that the United States and Russia have been locked at odds, with nukes just a push of a button away. This situation would have been mutually assured destruction. (1) This was during the Cold War era however and the presidents of the day were to say the least, realist. They would have jumped at the chance to get into a conflict with one of the few super powers of the day. This would have given the winner the superiority that all had desired. That scenario may not be the same as the circumstances of today. President Obama is in no way a Hawk; he is by all accounts a Dove and will probably avoid an all out war at all costs. Based on the most recent history President Obama has tried to remove the US from any conflict they have been involved in. This has been proven by the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the spin down of troop numbers in Afghanistan. These are two Conflicts that he had inherited and really wanted nothing to do with. This has been the way he has operated and I believe it will be a foreshadowing of his actions in the future. On both fronts Obama has removed responsibility by contracting jobs out and dwindling the numbers in the US military have left them undermanned and ill equipped for an engagement such as this. The US has been fighting 2 wars simultaneously for the past 10...
