...The story is all about Irene Adler’s cleverness and skill over Sherlock Holmes’ perfection in deception. Sherlock Holmes always spoke about her in a way of pride, and of course not jealousy. In Watson’s words, she was one of the few to be as clever as Sherlock Holmes himself. The main part of the story begins in Holmes’ apartment where one day a man with a foreign uniform appeared to see Holmes. In spite of his efforts to prove himself a second person, the king of Bohemia couldn’t hide his identity from the sharp eyes of Holmes. He then, without any redo, asked Holmes’ help on a five year old incident which relates his falling in love with the beautiful American actress, Miss Irene Adler. He just became king, when his family revealed about his relation with Irene Adler and rejected soon after on account of her not being a royal blood. And as a king he had no other option but to show respect to the tradition. But now what seems to bother him is Irene Adler’s apparent love for the king for which she is interfering in the king’s marriage with a princess of a neighboring country of Bohemia. And now she is up to tell the princess about her past relation with the king. It seems that the king still believes in her personality, when Holmes asked the king if it was about money. But it was not as the king explains that she did not want to see the king getting married with someone other than her. And she has the letters written by the king and their photograph taken together...

...Ethics is a very broad topic. There are many forms of ethics that look at certain actions in different light. Utopian ethics state that if an action performed by someone helps the society rather than the individual, it is an ethical act. In A Scandal in Bohemia, Sherlock Holmes is trying to help the Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein get married, so that he can become the new King of Bohemia. The issue being that Irene Adler has a picture of the Grand Duke having an affair. Adler threatened to send this picture and a note to the Duke’s bride, thus ruining his marriage and his right to the throne. The Duke not becoming king affects all of the citizens in Bohemia, thus, by following Utopian ethics, Sherlock Holmes should help the Duke. That being said, according to Utopian ethics, Sherlock Holmes would be considered an ethical human being by benefitting the masses rather than himself. Sherlock Holmes does perform many actions that we would consider today as unethical. Once Holmes is on the case, his first act of business was “watching the habits, and perhaps the house, of Miss Irene Adler” (Doyle 16). He has spied on Adler for the entire morning to get clues and leads to further continue this case. Utopian ethics would agree with this behavior. Holmes has disguised himself as a “drunken-looking groom, ill-kempt and side whiskered with an inflamed face and disreputable clothes” (Doyle 16) to gather information about Adler’s doings. Holmes has benefitted all the people in Bohemia by performing...

...deal with a team. I would be focused on results and performances and like the leader I would have not to be afraid to take risks and responsibilities. Nevertheless, we can say that as every individual is different one to each another and thus that there exist different kinds of leaders and managers. Some would be more likely to use collaboration whereas others would feel more at ease with delegation for instance. We can also say that some leaders and managers have been and are more successful than other thanks to their ability to bring the company in the appropriated direction and to benefit from the right opportunities. Through this assignment, we are going to present a successful CEO, Irene Rosenfeld, and analyse her type of leader. In a first part, we are going to present Irene Rosenfeld and her background.

...achievements of the CEO of Kraft, if I had to rate Irene Rosenfeld on the scale of being authentic, I would score her 9 (nine) out of 10 (ten). Being authentic is a situation where the leader has the whole knowledge about how to dispense work to others through leadership. A leader should be able to understand, what the lacking qualities are and how to meet up the requirement to fulfill those qualities. An authentic leader is the one, who has a purpose behind every doing, believes in long lasting relationship with the employees. Has the power of being consistent and self disciplined that would compel others to follow him or her. I believe Irene Rosenfeld has great sense to understand her reason (purpose) behind being a CEO; she is a person who knows her passion, her motivation. She first began her career with New York-based advertising agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample as an associate research director in consumer research, she worked over here for continuous two years and later joined general foods as an associate market research manager in 1981; this made her enter into the food market. General Food was already struggling with the brand of Kool Aid, she realised this as an opportunity and made necessary changes, she changed the strategy of sales by marketing the product directly to kids rather than to their mother. This made her understand the capabilities inbuilt in her. She joined Kraft Food in June2006 as a CEO, looking at this profile of Irene Rosenfeld, it shows that she took her experience...

...City in most urban gothics tend to be a labyrinth of mystery, a source of corruption and evil. The role that the city plays in creating evil is not limited to the labyrinth nature of the city which protects the crimes of antagonists and villains. The creation of evil and is association with the city is also influenced by the early Victorian perception of the city and the crimes that occurred in the city. Irene Adler the primary antagonist and villain, in the Arthur Conon Doyle’s “Scandal in Bohemia” (1891), outwits Sherlock Holmes – One of the greatest detectives and brilliant minds in literature to date. The nature in which if she operates, is helped by the nature of the city which encourages, promotes and even hide the criminality and violence....

...become the father of the folk music explosion. “Leadbelly” has held an influence on a variety of artists ranging from Bob Dylan to Kurt Cobain (Good Night, Irene). In 1933, John Lomax made the fist ever recorded version of “Goodnight Irene.” Leadbelly’s “Goodnight Irene” was essentially a song of heartache. The lyrics discuss Irene breaking the narrator’s heart by staying out all night gambling. The narrator contemplates the idea of suicide to ease his heavy heart, mentioning both overdosing on morphine and jumping into a river (Good Night, Irene). Following Huddie Ledbetter’s passing, The Weaver’s cover of “Goodnight Irene” remained on the Billboards for 6 months eventually peaking at #1. Due to the recording's popularity, however, The Weavers' lyrics are the ones that are generally used today. Both versions of “Goodnight, Irene” copy the American folk standard measures of a waltz, and written in a simple 3/4 time that embodies a dreamy and soothing environment (Goodnight, Irene). Perhaps the simplicity of “Goodnight Irene,” both in chord structure and in listening, has helped to keep the song relevant years after the death of it’s creator, Huddie Ledbetter.

Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO of Kraft Foods Inc., in 2010. Abstract The case study discusses how Irene B. Rosenfeld (Rosenfeld), CEO of US-based snack-food company Kraft Foods Inc.

In February 2010, Rosenfeld successfully led the Cadbury acquisition to make Kraft a market leader in the global confectionery market. A 29-year veteran of the food industry, Rosenfeld was successful in bringing about a transformational change at Kraft.

...Compared to Irene Gut Opdyke, my life is as simple and easy as cracking an egg. Although I struggle with my disabled mother, handle school work, work as a waitress, and maintain involvement in numerous extracurriculars, my daily toils are menial and forgettable. The imagery of Irene’s graphic experiences will leave a stain in my memory forever, and I can’t picture living life normally with those events in my past. Irene’s courage and sacrifice shown throughout her tale are inspirational and astonishing. I first noticed Irene’s courage when she willingly volunteered to go with the Polish army toward the German front and work as an assistant nurse. She had already seen the carnage of the entire city of Radom, but she risked more to help...

Every day they begged and scrounged for food, and the next morning when they awoke, Josh would automatically wonder where they would go to find food.

They went around begging and stealing until Josh was forced to dig through the garbage cans for food.
