Konklusion:

Alt i alt kan der konkluderes at der er forskellige tegn, der indikere at John Nash i filmen ”A beautiful mind” lider af sygdommen paranoid skizofreni. Dette skyldes at filmen er blevet baseret på en rigtig karakter, hvilket også fremmer troværdigheden. Det kan også konkluderes at personer der lider af en psykisk sygdom, ofte er udenfor arbejdsmarkedet. Det er ikke muligt for en person med en psykisk lidelse, at arbejde på samme niveau som individer uden nogen form for psykisk lidelse. Herudover kan det konkluderes, at selvom John Nash er i stand til at arbejde for FN, i filmen ”A beautiful mind”, kommer hans psykiske lidelse i sidste ende i vejen for ham. Han ender med at gå psykisk ned pga. Hans arbejde er alt for krævende til en mand der lider af så voldsom en lidelse. Derudover kan der konkluderes at ud fra bilag 1 er der omkring 28.000 individer som lider af sygdommen paranoid skizofreni. Dermed kan der også konkluderes at ifølge Thomas Werge fra Psykiatrisk Center Sct. Hans, er skizofreni en væsentlig og fundamental sygdom, som burde tages mere seriøs. Herudover fremhæver Werge også at en hel central del for at kunne forhindre sygdommen, eller endda undgå den, er at forstå dens biologiske forståelse. Dette mener Werge ville øge lægemidler og ville kunne skabe en innovativ handlemåde i forhold til sygdommen. Herudover kan der konkluderes at der en del grundlæggende faktorer som kan udføres i hverdagen for at skabe en bedre tilværelse. Disse livfaktorer ses følgende: Gode opvækstvilkår, fremme den enkeltes sociale kontakter, sikre gode vilkår i arbejdslivet, sikre opbakning under livskriser, forebygge alkohol- og stofmisbrug og fokusere på fysisk aktivitet. Disse faktorer kan være med til at skabe en bedre tilværelse for individer med paranoid skizofreni. Overordnede kan der konkluderes at filmen ”A beautiful mind” sætter fokus på emnet paranoid skizofreni, hvilket mange individet lider af i større og mindre grade. Herudover kan der også konkluderes at sygdommen skiller samfundet ad, og dermed kan sammenhængskræften bliver forringet.

Angels

...James Coates Mrs. Kopcak English May 10, 2006 Angels Angels were a major part of ancient civilizations, but how did the whole myth about angels start and has it changed over the years? How does the past compare to today’s world? Are there different classes of angels? What are their jobs, what do their jobs have them doing? The word 'angel' comes from the Greek angelos, which itself could be considered as a translation of the Hebrew word mal'akh, meaning 'messenger', suggesting that a being responsible for carrying messages between the human world and some other realm or realms of existence, someone who is an intermediary between 'down here' and 'up there'. The origins of angels, started back in ancient Sumeria. The Sumerian society is the oldest society that has left us clear evidence of the use of a winged human motif. This evidence is in the form of stone carvings, either in the form of three-D statues or relief carvings that provide the illusion of three-dimensionality. The religion of these people was complex, embracing a wide variety of spirits and gods, but of particular interest was their belief in 'messengers of the gods', angelic forces who ran errands between gods and humans. The Sumerians also believed that each person had a 'ghost' of some sort (what we would now probably label as 'guardian angel') with this entity remaining a constant companion for a person throughout their life. After the polytheistic Semitic tribes had conquered the Sumerians around 1900...

Angels and Demons

...In Angels and Demons (2000), Dan Brown introduces Robert Langdon, the Harvard symbologist who would later star in Brown’s worldwide best seller The Da Vinci Code (2003). The two books share numerous characteristics. Though fictional, both novels claim to be built upon a base of researched facts. Both seek to revise aspects of generally accepted histories, especially those related to the Catholic Church and its relationship to free thought. And both books put Langdon in the middle of violent interactions among shadowy factions, clashes whose outcomes may well determine the future course of Western civilization. The two books differ in setting, threat, and focus. While The Da Vinci Code tackles ancient speculations about the Holy Grail, Angels and Demons involves more standard thriller fare. It puts science and religion into conflict by reviving the Illuminati, a secret society of scientists and freethinkers whose relationship with the Catholic Church has long been, Brown indicates, intimate, tangled, and not fully known. This secret society returns as a threat when the major church leaders are gathered at the Vatican to elect a new pontiff. Increasing this centuries-old tension is a more specific threat: the Illuminati claim to have stolen a rare sample of antimatter and hidden it somewhere in the Vatican. It is highly explosive if it comes in contact with normal matter, and it will do so when a protective magnetic field runs out in twenty-four hours. Add to this the fact that...

Essay of the Angels

...Angel investments bear extremely high risk and are usually subject to dilution from future investment rounds. As such, they require a very high return on investment.[9] Because a large percentage of angel investments are lost completely when early stage companies fail, professional angel investors seek investments that have the potential to return at least 10 or more times their original investment within 5 years, through a defined exit strategy, such as plans for an initial public offering or an acquisition. Current 'best practices' suggest that angels might do better setting their sights even higher, looking for companies that will have at least the potential to provide a 20x-30x return over a five- to seven-year holding period.[10] After taking into account the need to cover failed investments and the multi-year holding time for even the successful ones, however, the actual effective internal rate of return for a typical successful portfolio of angel investments is, in reality, typically as 'low' as 20-30%.[11] While the investor's need for high rates of return on any given investment can thus make angel financing an expensive source of funds, cheaper sources of capital, such as bank financing, are usually not available for most early-stage ventures, which may be too small or young to qualify for traditional loans.

Stone Angel Analysis

...Karina Garcia The Stone Angel Analysis Assignment 5. Analyze and interpret the theme of pride as it reveals significant aspects of the central character’s personality. Pride is such an intriguing yet simple word. It is truly extraordinary how one word can lay the foundation for the reasoning behind of people’s daily decisions. Pride shapes many of their most beloved characters in many of their most beloved stories. Not only pride uses to rationalize the decisions that they make regarding themselves. Pride can also be derived from many of the decisions they make that impact their relationship with others. People often let pride mask their true feelings. Pride is defined as the quality or sate of being proud. This definition can't be more applicable than it is to Hagar's character in the short story “The Stone Angel”, by Margaret Laurence. Throughout “The Stone Angel”, it is clearly apparent that whether it being negative or positive, pride has a significant effect on many of Hagar's relationships with other characters. The main character is Hagar Shipley refused to compromise which shaped the outcome of her life as well as the lives of those around her. “Pride was my wilderness and the demon that led me there was fear… [I was] never free, for I carried my chains within me, and they spread out from me and shackled all I touched.” (Laurence, 292).

In The Killer Angel, Shaara portrays the perspectives of many soldiers who fought in the Civil War including those from both sides, the North and the South.
