...Some people find a person in life that they are sure is “the one.” Some people are lucky enough to spend the rest of their life with that person in matrimony. However, love and marriage do not always coincide. In Mavis Gallant’s “The Other Paris,” she uses a satirical narrative and ridiculous characterization to provide social commentary on how marriage is more like finding the most suitable person instead of true love. A sarcastic tone is used all throughout the passage. Gallant describes Carol going about “the business of falling in love” which implies that falling in love should be handled as a professional situation. Another thought from Carol was that "love was a blight imposed by the film industry," which contradicts her feelings of...

...Sarah Rosenzweig John McKenzie English comp My Crazy kook Father A bond is something special in life; you should cherish the ones who make you who you are. Beauty is not about looks, make-up or clothes. Beauty comes from within. Showing your true colors leads people to be more appreciative towards you. We learn from our peers. My siblings are a huge part of my life; we truly love each other. My parents taught us that our family would always be there for us no matter what. My dad is the man of the house. My family jokes that he’s the thermostat that sets the temperature in the house. My dad is a great guy; I’ve learned a lot from him throughout my life. Any man can be a father figure but it takes someone special to step up to the plate and be a dad. During my early childhood, my dad raised us for most of the time. Mom worked days and he worked nights. Every day he would make us breakfast. Our typical morning started off with orange juice, pancakes, French toast, eggs, or cereal. Whatever we wanted he would make it. He’s a chef by trade and loves to make things from scratch. He took orders from us and always cooked with a smile. We were rebels growing up and we put him through hell and back. His motto is, “You’re going to do whatever you want to do, so why should I say no”. He wanted us to learn from our own mistakes. I feel lucky to have a father that gave us our freedom from such an early age. I honestly believe that learning ‘the hard way’ works best for me. We were...

He was also informing the new co-worker of personal information that shouldn’t be told on his first day of work or shared to begin with at all. The story “Orientation” through satire shows alienation of traditional office work in the real world. A Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize peoples stupidity or vices. People can exaggerate situations or think situations are humorous just to expose and criticize people. Alienation is the loss or lack of sympathy for people.

...The Horse Exciting and extroverted, vivid and animated, the Horse is the life of any party he attends. He is bursting with energy, always looking for the next place to kick up his heels and hang loose. He entertains friends and strangers alike with his humor and appeal. Years of the Horse Horse Years are seventh in the cycle, following the Snake Years, and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Horse Year actually begins. 1906*1918*1930*1942*1954*1966*1978*1990*2002 THE SIGN OF THE HORSE Horse people are extemporaneous and quick-witted. They are quite intelligent and use their practicality to their advantage in their businessand personal lives. Their sharpness makes them quick to pick up new skills and are able to handle many tasks at one time. However, this ambition can be harmful because Horse people often don’t finish what they start for fear of missing out on the next big challenge. Horses are trustworthy, friendly and open-minded. They are good friends to have and will always be honest with you. Although they are good confidants, Horse people do enjoy their alone time and are usually independent people. They can struggle with obstinance and self-centeredness, which can lead to a flare of the temper if they don’t get their way. Usually, after an episode or temper-tantrum a Horse can feel remorse, yet not all people will be able to forgive their reaction...

...In this paper we are going to discuss about consensual relationship agreements at work place. This is an issue that every work place and human resource management has to deal with. For this purpose the case study is analyzed on the said parameters while focusing over non-ethical difficulties. The Consensual Relationship Agreement refers to the romance and love relationships of the employees at work place. Different views have been surfaced during the course of subject study regarding the consensual relationship agreement as some are at the view that the agreement should be signed by every employee and would be effective for the organizational and employees’ performance while on the other hand some are at view point that the love and romance relationship of employees are their personal matter and should not be kept under observation by the employers (Hellriegel, 2011). In order to reach at the destination and achieve the said objectives the subject study has focused over numerous bullets including main but not limited to the use of consensual relationship agreement, creating counter arguments against the use of CRAs in existing or future organizations selected, discussing the ethical principles involved in Consensual Relationship Agreement in the United States, other options addressing the workplace romance and so forth. The subject study is conducted based on the theoretical research design using the secondary sources of data (Alderman, 1995). Consensual Relationship Agreement...

...Back in the 1920's women in the Great Gatsby and Chicago were confused of what was true love because women were more dependent on men. Men where more money wise(they had more of it) in the 1920's because men knew that women didn't want to marry a poor man the fact that most men had money blinded tons of women and only let them see what they wanted to see. In both the great Gatsby and Chicago there are women and there were scenes and chapters where it shows the act of women depending on men. Roxie Hart and Myrtle Wilson show how they depend on Amos Hart and Tom Buchanan for money and protection. Well Amos tries to save Roxie from going to prison and Tom is able to buy anything that made myrtle happy. “I want to Molina 2 Get one of those dogs,” she said earnestly. “I want to get one for the apartment. They’re nice to have — a dog. ”Here’s your money. Go and buy ten more dogs with it.”And for Amos he tries to protect Roxie which show how women are dependent on men “Well, I come home from the garage, I see him climbing through the window. Telling you, that's the truth. My wife has nothing to do with it. She won't hurt a worm. Not even a worm. Until I fired the first shot, then she opened her eyes. She was somehow in sleep.” Also in the 1920 women were blinded of...

...Compare and Contrast Mr Darcy's First Proposal to Elizabeth with Mr. Collins' Proposal. Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” reveals the importance of social status and how marriages affected women at that time. The book opens with the words, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” This implies that the main interest in the book will be marriage. The main character is Elizabeth Bennet who does not want to marry only for a comfortable life style but also for love. There is a big contrast between Mr Collins’ and Mr Darcy’s proposals to her and they give us an insight into their characters, as well as social and economic expectations. Mr. Collins decides to propose to Elizabeth Bennet, “having no feelings of diffidence” with “all his solemn composure” because he supposes this is only a “regular part of business”. Mr Collins’ speech is pompous, longwinded and sounds as if he has learnt it by heart. The proposal is also emotionless. He tries to compliment Elizabeth by talking about her “modesty” and “natural delicacy”. He states that as soon as he entered the house, he had already “singled” her out as the “companion” of his “future life”. This is not true because he first chose Jane. He also mentions that Elizabeth’s “wit and vivacity, especially when tempered with the silence” will suit Lady Catherine de Bourgh who Mr. Collins tries to please. This is ironic because Elizabeth has a lively character...

...Nurturing Love – Five Principal Ways An obsession with time has so worked into our social system that we scarcely notice we have left no time to love. Everywhere the slogan is ‘Hurry, Hurry, and Hurry’. To be aware of the need of the other, to spend time with others, to speak and act with patience and consideration, we must make time. | | Mother Teresa drew a beautiful unexpected connection between time and love: “Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush,” she observed, “anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.” Slowing ourselves down is closely connected with increasing our one-pointed attention. When we are in a hurry, the problem is not only one of speed. Our attention is riveted on ourselves - our needs and desires - so there is no attention to give to those around us, who probably have needs and desires very much like our own. People are not boring; we get bored because our attention wanders. Giving someone our full attention says clearly: “You matter to me. You have my respect.” Almost every disruption in human relationships - between parents and child, friend and friend, worker and co-worker - can be prevented by learning control over attention, for, with mutual attention between people comes loyalty, interest and trust. To love we have to be able to do things for others...

...her ideas of love and marriage through the character in ‘The Color Purple’ and their relationships. Each character’s perception of love and marriage differs in the prime of the novel, yet as we progress and witness the trials and tribulations they endure, we see their ideas distort and reshape, or strengthen. Throughout the novel we are given a mixed bag of types of relationships, some are love-starved, others are brimming with love and some are only short bursts of love. From the early chapters of the novel we are given the fundamentals of the generic relationship back then; dominant male and submissive female (there is also the exception of Shug and Celie, even then it seems that Shug is more dominant than Celie). Most marriages throughout the novel aren’t particularly joyous; we rarely saw any love and most, and even when we do, violence is used to control their other-half’s behaviour. There are a few stable relationships that prevail, for example Nettie and the Reverend. With the different marriages that we encounter I believe that Walker is implying that marriage wasn’t so much to do with how much you loved the other person, but much to do with how much you could grow while being with the other person, or how much labour one would have to do while with their spouse. One message I feel that Walker is trying to depict is that marriage was just an institution that does not do much other than give men and excuse to control women. Another is that marriage, on love alone, will...

...In the Name of Love Nicole M. Countryman Strayer University Professor Orsini Business 520: Organizational Behavior January 26, 2013 In the Name of Love Workplace romances are nothing new. With people spending more hours a week at the office and less time at home, it is only natural that office romances spark. In a 2011 survey conducted by Vault.com, 59 percent of employees admitted to having an office romance, and 63 percent said that they would do it again if provided the opportunity. However, not everyone is happy about love in the workplace. Of those surveyed, 38 percent believed that a co-worker had gained a professional advantage because of an office relationship. (Goudreau, 2012) Surprisingly, though, a whopping 72 percent of companies have no policy regarding workplace romance, according to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) 2006 Workplace Romance Poll. "The vast majority of companies do not have rules around dating, and they should. Of the few companies that do, most of them involve a boss dating a subordinate. If they perceive a conflict of interest or see the relationship as disruptive or potentially disruptive, HR should step in," asserts Olen. (Tyler, 2008) Workplace romances can lead to accusations of harassment, ethics violations, favoritism, lost productivity, poor morale, and even workplace violence. (Smith 2012) This often results in HR professionals being concerned about dating in the workplace. However, in an effort to decrease the occasional...

...Running head: HEALING HOSPITAL: A DARING PARADIGM Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Lisa Overfield GCU Spirituality in Health Care HLT 310V Emory Davis January 11, 2013 Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm The area of nursing and healthcare is an ever changing field that constantly challenges healthcare professionals to deliver the most effective and cost efficient care to the public. As the waves of change rage a paradigm shift often falls in its wake. Looking at hospitals as healing communities as opposed to the traditional place to cure a disease is an example of a current paradigm shift taking place in healthcare today. Viewing hospitals as Healing Communities can change the way moral issues and work conditions are approached, perceived, and managed. Community is defined as people in the same place operating under the same laws working together for a common goal. Also there is an element of ownership among community members. Thus in a Healing Community each member not only has an opportunity to heal but a responsibility and obligation to promote healing through their words, actions, and attitudes. This paper will address components of healing hospitals and their relationship to spirituality, challenges and barriers of creating a healing environment, and Biblical support of the healing hospital concept. There are 3 main components of healing hospitals, a healing physical environment, the integration of work design and technology, and a culture of radical...

Everyone starts off as a naive child, but by exploring the world, experiencing the battles and challenges of life, dealing with whatever is thrown at them, people are molded into becoming more knowledgeable and understanding of what they can and cannot do. People are dynamic. People are always changing. Their entire life is a Bildungsroman, a coming of age story, coming to understand who they are, what they are worth, and who they love. Celie, the main character in the novel “The Colour Purple” by Alice Walker, is human. She undergoes changes in the novel just like everyone else. Celie starts off her life as a young, naive girl. She was manipulated into being submissive to men and oppressed by patriarchy. She was beaten and abused to the point where her love for herself, and her self-respect, had diminished to nothing. By the end of her life, with the help of other strong, independent women, she had become a strong, independent woman herself. She finally knew who she was and what she was worth. She freed herself from being week and submissive, and became an equal to men because that is what she fought for. She started off the novel with an understanding that life was a story of abuse, and in order to protect herself, she hardened her heart. Celie had also rid herself of any expectations or goals in order to avoid disappointment. These...
