...Essay about ’The Order of Things’ Love can hit you like a tornado. Both create an aftermath in which you can often find yourself totally reset, with new ground rules to play by. The short story ‘The Order of Things´, written by Judy Troy investigates themes such as the resetting of a mindset, the value of our short lives, but most of all: love. This essay seeks to focus on the setting, the two main characters, their relationship and symbols to underline certain points of the text. The setting in this short story takes us to the small town Worland, which is located in the state of Wyoming, USA. As with most small towns in the United States, we get the feeling that it is a town where people have close relations with one another. For instance, the first line of the story mentions “…the first inning of the Worland Lutheran softball game…” as the place where our characters Lucy and Carl meet. The fact that it is a Lutheran softball game points towards Worland being a religious town as well. The story takes place over about half a year, from August to around February. This makes for some interesting use of the weather, which is used to underline certain points and moods: “Then in bed, with the sound of rain on the thin roof, they talked about their marriages.” (p. 8 l. 60) Everyone knows the sound of rain dazzling on a thin roof. It screams intimacy. Intimacy is something Carl has never really been used to dealing with. He is the result of a rushed marriage without intimacy: “…...

...Virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontological ethics In this composition, I will equate the relationships and variances between virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontological ethics. I will examine the disparities in how each principle tackles principles and virtues, and finally illuminate an individual experience concerning virtue, values, and moral concepts, and how they relate to one of the three theories. Individually ethics has elements that are the similar and different. Virtue Theory is a method to ethics that highlights a person's character as the main component of moral thinking, rather than guidelines about the actions themselves or their costs. Utilitarianism is the examination we should do is justly generating the highest conceivable value for the highest achievable amount of people. Deontological ethics is in observance of the Scriptures, accepted ethical rule and perceptions from common logic. The similarities between the three are that they define moral and immoral characteristics about an individual, and with the determination of their activities, it also governs the quality of the person that is virtue ethics. Utilitarianism is comparable that finds the decency in an individual. A subject it avoids is finding the immoral in an individual. Per deontological ethics, the outcome of the act is moral not immoral. It holds actions that are ethically necessary for penalties made by individual activities. The differences amongst the three ethics are...

...Textual Analysis for “Throwing Like a Girl” The article begins by remembering the opening of the World Series on April 4th, 1994. The President at the time, Bill Clinton, threw out the first pitch in Cleveland while his wife First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton threw out the first pitch in Chicago. Mrs. Clinton was the first First Lady in history to throw out a first pitch at a major league baseball game. Instead of writing about this historical event, however, reporters across the country ripped into the First Lady’s form and how she “throws like a girl”. The phrase “throwing like a girl” has become an offensive, almost derogatory term that shames some women and implies they do not possess the same athleticism as men. Fallows suggests that the answer to why they throw so differently must be more than just being a woman. Some people believe a man and a woman's shoulder are hinged differently, and that is the reason for the difference in the way...

...Biss talks about how pain is our own experience and no one else can feel the same intensity of pain that we feel at any given point in the day. I believe that it can also be turned around no one can feel the same type of pleasure that I feel. There is no way that I can write a scale of pleasure that fits every person that is on the earth; the only scale that I can make is one where I use the pleasure that have happened to me during my life time. As we age we tend to go through events that will change our outlook on life. Something that may have been a pleasure to us when we were younger may not be pleasure to use when we are older. Take for instance playing on the playground as a young child, that was to time of the day we all waited for we got to go outside and play on the jungle gym. That would not bring me pleasure it would make me depressed just for the fact that I can no longer play on the jungle gym because I am not small enough to enjoy to the level that I would want to. 0 Imagine a world where there is no such thing as pain. Now that you have done that do you think that there would be pleasure in that world? If there is no pain there can be no pleasure they go hand in hand. If you have never felt pain then how can you know what pleasure is? Biss talks about how there is not an absolute zero on the pain scale that she has designed (171), but I believe there to be a point where there is absolutely no pleasure on a person’s life. The Pleasure Scale plays off of the Pain...

...Mylisah Choate September 16,2014 Psyc 2301 “Who Am I” Essay Trapped in Bewilderment I pulled my hair back, twisted my t-shirt with my sports bra strap, checked my makeup and breezed out of my parent’s house with my sports bag. My teammates and I had have held two state champs in softball, and there never seemed to be a Sunday when we weren’t using the gym to our advantage. Our goal was to be in open gym before the baseball team. I think it was our way of showing off our athleticism in a feministic kind of way. I have always been your average girl with dark pigmented skin, brown hair and eyes, very athletic and outgoing, always excited to learn something new, got along with everyone, held a decent grade point average that got me through high school and onto college. I was the kind of girl of every man’s dream; according to most of the guys I know. Some of whom who took it to their advantage(s) no matter the consequences or sacrifices they were willing to take. I am going to completely drop the ball and be blunt at this point. Take out of it what you will. I have told this story a numerous amounts of times; it never changes and never will for that matter. So, I have learned that it’s best to let people think what they want, even if they think it’s all made up. The spring of 2008, I was sexually abused during one of our open gym days on a Sunday evening, by two boys just slightly older than I was. Before I encountered the unexpected. I was always attracted to this one...

...Megan Peters Studio I honestly don’t really know where to begin with this essay because I have so much to say. I guess I should start by saying that theatre is and has been the biggest and most influential force in my life. Growing up, my parents were determined I was destined to be an athlete. Although at age 4 I was writing my own plays and having each part played by a specific person in my family, they insisted on sports. They put me in every sport they could think of. They were athletes themselves and thrived teaching their kids how to throw a softball or how to serve a volleyball. I went along and played five sports a year until I was ten years old. When I was ten, I got cast as the Wicked Witch of the West in our school play, the Wizard of Oz. If I do say so myself, I stole the show. The feeling of being onstage and performing to ten year old me was just enchanting and I knew it was something I would never be able to let go. I haven’t let it go since to my parent’s dismay. Acting is the most important thing in my life and no matter what I always want to be in rehearsal or in acting class or performing. I think that the Studio program at West Virginia University would be a great place for me because it will help me reach my goals within the university and beyond. One reason I would love to be a part of the studio program is my constant desire for knowledge. As I said before, theatre is the biggest part of my life and my passion for it grows the more I learn. I want to...

CHAPTER OVERVIEW An organization’s human resource policies and practices represent important forces for shaping employee behavior and attitudes. In this chapter, we specifically discussed the influence of selection practices, training and development programs, performance evaluation systems, and the existence of a union.

The use of the proper selection devices will increase the probability that the right person will be chosen to fill a slot. While employee selection is far from a science, some organizations fail...
