...Churchill was wrong and misguided to support Edward VIII in the way that he did. How far do these sources support this interpretation? All three of these sources present a different image about Churchill’s approach Edwards’s situation. Overall Churchill’s view on the situation was the majority and most people were very angry with the King for trying to marry a divorcee. Sources B and C support the view that Church was misguided by telling us that he had little support from anyone else in the public or in the government. Source B states that people felt an “enraged fury against the King” this point tell us that people were furious with the king because he has gone against s major church rule to marry a divorcee. As Edward was the head of the Church of England his methods were thought to be a direct mockery of the church and everything that it stands for. As people didn’t have support for the king they were not going to have support for Churchill as he supported the king, this means they would have thought that his views were misguided and confused. Although sources imply that Churchill views were different to the majority and this would of lead to people thinking he was misguided there is no use of the word “Misguided” in the sources so we do not know exactly if the views of the people were this. Another thing that supports that the views that are supplied in Sources B and C are the both Source A and B are written in the correct time periods. This means that the facts written...

...quite profitably on the CSE and had no need to establish their own stock exchange department. In response to the prohibition the Provincial Industrial Advisory Council made the decision to establish a stock exchange in Eastern Pakistan. Initially it was suggested that instead of creating an independent stock exchange, a branch of the Karachi Stock Exchange be opened at Dhaka. However this proposal was very unpopular with representatives from East Pakistan who felt that it was necessary to create a completely new stock exchange in Dhaka. This is what eventually happened with different members of the stock exchange purchasing membership cards at the price of RS.2000. There were two proposed locations for the stock exchange – Dhaka and Chittagong – but in the end it was decided that Dhaka was the most suitable location. An organizing committee was established to further set up the DSE and invitations were sent out to determine what sort of interest there would be in the proposed stock exchange. The response was overwhelming and on the 7th of July 1953 a meeting was held with roughly 100 interested persons attending. Of these, eight men were selected to promote the stock exchange the DSE was officially formed shortly afterwards. The DSE was moved to its current location in 1959. Currently the main functions of the Dhaka Stock Exchange are the listing of companies, the settlement of trading, the providing of a screen based automated trading of listed securities, market administration...

...face. Meaning, race controls the way society perceives a woman. In the novel, Shadow Tag, Louise Erdrich tells a chilly story of a marriage controlled by possession. A woman is shown objectification through her cultural origin and background. Throughout the novel, Gil wished to possess Irene. His possession over Irene’s body was obtained through his depictions of her in his artwork. The idea that an object is something you can obtain and possess would relate the novel by Louise Erdrich to the argument of Patricia Hill Collins. Gil’s obsession over his wife’s body also created a form of domination that utilized a form of oppression. Patricia Hill Collins writes, “Sexuality becomes a domain of restriction and repression when this energy is tied to the larger system of race, class, and gender oppression.” Gil controlled Irene’s image and sexuality through a form oppression that accompanied her race, class, and gender because he found that it exemplified his talent as an artist. “He painted Indians when he painted his wife because he couldn’t help it—the ferocity between them, the need. Her blood ancestors came out in Gil’s painting as he worked.” Gil painted Irene in the way he wanted people to perceive her. He used her Word Count: 228 images in his paintings to tell stories of her ancestors. He entwined the story of the Indians with the story of his wife. He sometimes painted Irene in a gloomy, racy, and violent way to depict the similar ways her native people suffered. He thought...

...idea that people may be born one way or they were taught to be this way through their environment. It’s seen as a debate in many cases, but one specifically is the topic of children killers, kids who before they became adults did the unimaginable and killed another person. There are many different examples of this happening and many people say they were born or made this way. Two examples of this are Mary Bell, and Daniel Bartlem. In certain children killer cases there will be rulings saying that they had certain psychological problems, but not in all. The question is then raised, where these kids born this way? Or have they been made to act out this way due to things in their lives? The first example is Mary Bell she was an eleven year old girl, who was originally sentenced to a life sentence in jail. She killed two boys one the age three and the other the age four and said she did it “purely for excitement”. Her mother was a prostitute and said to often not be home, and her father was thought to be Bill Bell who was a criminal charged with armed robber, Mary was born when her mother was only seventeen.

...teacher was the Practitioner and the students were the team. When she first came into that situation the team was not a team they were disorganized and had no sense of teamwork. At the time the teacher/practitioner came into the classroom and was an outsider was not sure what exactly to expect or exactly what route to take. As the teacher/practitioner spent more time with the class, she learned a little each day of what to expect from the class and through trial and error was finding a way to make them a team. The teacher had to use different techniques to find out which technique was going to work the best with the class to make them a team. Once she got the class to start to trust her then she could start using other techniques to get them closer together. She found that she had to get creative in order for them to listen to her and also for them to get involved with the rest of the class. As an outsider coming in she not only got resistance from the class that she was trying to get to work together but she also met resistance from other teachers and faculty members as well. Erin Gruwell, was faced with all kinds of issues. She had to look at the whole situation from an outsider’s position.

...lines include personal computing devices, enterprise servers, related storage devices and diverse range of printers and imaging products. HP Company has been described as one of the most successful companies of the 20th Century. The reason why this company was so successful over such a long period of time may well lie in the management of its corporate culture ‘The HP Way’. The HP Way reflects the personal core values of Bill Hewlett and David Packard, and the translation of those values into a comprehensive set of operating practices, cultural norms, and business strategies (Collins, 2005). However, since the late 1990s, the company has been experiencing a new and different culture is emerging, ‘The New HP Way’. Today, many companies take the tenets of the HP way almost for granted but when first formulated, they were visionary. This report would briefly outline ‘The HP Way’ and ‘The New HP Way’ organisations which is a balance between profits for the owners and shareholders of the company and the rights, job security and working conditions of its employees. * Organisational Behaviour Effective communication & Leadership Behaviour The HP’s way of communicating was unusual and unique. A two-way communication was opened to everyone and allowed employees to share their thoughts each other including the President oh HP. This called the ‘open door’. In effective communication, the sender’s message is fully understood by the receiver. In order to gather rational feedbacks...

...Ways of Knowing Nursing is a very rewording profession which can blossom when incorporated into practice of Carper’s fundamental patterns of thinking. After reading Cotton and Roden article (December 2006 – January 2007), I realized great importance of understanding and implementing four concepts of thinking into daily nursing practice. According to Carper (1978:21-22) empirics, aesthetics, personal and ethical way of knowing in nursing are ‘necessary for achieving mastery in the discipline’. I believe that implementing those four patterns of knowing into daily nursing care is vital in order to provide best quality care for each patient. Nursing care should be implemented in flexible, thoughtful manner and should be carefully executed in unique situation with unique patients. Empirical Way of Knowing Empirical way of thinking is defined in article as a ‘factual, descriptive…exemplary, discursively formulated and publically verifiable which is ultimately aimed at developing abstract and theoretical explanation’ (Carper: 15). This way of thinking is executed using Evidence Based Practice. I have been a nurse for the past 10 years and I believe that empirical way of knowing is most familiar to me. For example, my facility is using Congestive Heart Failure protocol (policy created by facility based on clinical practice guidelines CPG) for patients admitted to hospital with either new onset of CHF or exacerbation of the disease. Each patient with CHF has comprehensive assessments...

...describe an American way of war? If so, has it existed consistently throughout the period covered or has it evolved? If you say it has not existed throughout why not? Before I go into why or why not, it is best to describe the American Way of War? I must first get some definitions and history behind an American Way of War. First off There aren’t no authoritative listing that describe the Way of War.? But there are different perspectives on the American Way of War. One will define it as two major parts tactical way of battle and a strategic way of War. The tactical way of battle is an aggressive style were Us Military uses force to overwhelm the enemy forces, while using quick and decisive victories with minimal causalities. They are well trained in military that uses maneuvers, speed, flexibility, and the element of surprise, which relies upon fire-power and technology as their main. On the Strategic way of war, America seeks more of an independent strategic policy success. “ The strategic way of war also includes alternative national strategies such as deterrence and a war of limited aims.” (keravouri) Weigley who was the pioneer in the book American Way of War in 1973. Described it as “Consisted of a unique American methodology: One of attrition and annihilation.” (Weigley) Also Brian Mcallister Linn describes it one step further with the attrition and annihilation. In the book the Echo of Battle: the Army’s Way of War, Linn States “appreciating a national way of war requires...
