...Masters and servants are often shown in literature in many ways, especially in Shakespeare’s play entitled The Tempest. Some literature portrays masters as cruel and servants as humble. Still other forms of writing show them as friends. The many ways that The Tempest and the way the world portray masters and servants can be compared to what the Bible says. The first step along the way of understanding masters and servants is to look at how the world we live in views the matter. There are two main viewpoints on how the world around us sees this concept; either the servant is far lower than the master, where he is expected to carry out the master’s every wish, or they both are on nearly equal terms and looked upon as friends. A book entitled...

School is where kids are being taught the “history” of how America came to be a diverse country. Through the course Culture Power and School Knowledge, one can see that the “history” being taught through the Master Narrative is one-sided. The Master Narrative focuses on “history” that comes from the people who hold power therefore excluding the actual experiences of the people of color meaning that it is a hegemonic device. Being a...

...slaves tended to live in an augmented closed world, where their only influence was their slave master. So, the slave masters would not inform the slaves of their rights. The slave master would also block the slave’s freedom by denying their manumission prices, which were completely subjective in favor of the slave master. In Cuba, there was a partisan group assembled to free slaves, but a sizable amount of members were slave owners, thus rendering the group useless. As well as, slave masters would stall during court cases involving freeing unregistered slaves. The slave masters were not the only ones blocking slave’s freedoms; the laws themselves rarely immediately gave the slaves emancipation. For example, in Brazil, the Law of Sexagenarians made slaves who could not pay for a manumission work, for an additional three years. Moreover, in Cuba, if a child owed unpaid labor to their master they were required to continue working until the age of eighteen, even if their parents were freed. In both societies though, the premier way to gain freedom with an uncooperative slave master was through a godfather, or another person of that sort. These people usually had to be literate and urban or occasionally appointed by the courts, they would testify on the behalf of the slave. In conclusion, without the “godfathers”, a greater amount of slaves would have fallen victim to wily slave masters coupled with their own...

...could earn a maximum of $3,115,000 and be deemed the “game master”. In efforts play this game the players have to determine if they are going to be “game players” or “game masters”. Players in the real game of life must also make similar decisions and face similar consequences for their actions. Also, just like the board game, players get their feathers ruffled and conflict is created when course of life takes a different route from the original plan. This can generate high emotions and increase the stakes of the game. In efforts to succeed in both the game and in daily life, the players have to recognize the game playing is an essential part of managing conflict. (Hasbro, 2013). Relationships can often be viewed as games because each relationship has a set of rules worked out between both parties. When the rules are followed, things go well. When the rules are stretched or disregarded, conflict arises. It is one thing to “play the game” but quite another to “master the game”. A game master knows how to play the game and why such game should be played. A game master is stable in good situations but also confident in unstable ones. These individuals create clarity and establish order because they understand the need for rules and invite others to participate in other forms of communication. Game masters are not afraid of ambiguity, and can live with uncertainty for extended periods of time. In order to become a game master in a world filled with conflict, it is critical to:...

...one of the greatest and most succesfull empires of all time. It became known as an economic powerhouse at its time due to its political policies, social ideology, and economic institutions. Slavery took place in each Roman’s live, being the master or the slave. At that time, slavery made citizens act in a cruel and inhumane manner to other human beings just because they own them. It began when masters started setting laws for the master/slave relationship. Which of course did not go in slaves favour? Masters use to abuse, murder, torture, treatment inhumane way, prostitution and many more. Slaves had no choice but to accept all these inhumane behaviors or they can always free themselves by paying the master the amount the master purchased them. This was impossible because slaves did not earn money for the tasks they had to perform. In my essay, I will be discussing two opposing views of the relationship that took place between the master and the slave. It will present if slaves really deserved to be treated in this kind of inhumane manner, or maybe they should have been treated as human beings not necessarily as equal to normal citizens. 1. In the source given below, it describes the inhumane treatment slaves suffered from their masters. Vadius pollio, an equestrian and a good friend of the emperor made sure that slaves would face the most inhumane death a person could ever face. Pollio would dash the slave in a pond full of lamprey eels, in which case the slave would be torn...

...databases. After extensive research, the following components will provide for a long-term strategy for data protection and disaster recovery for the MySQL database server: 1. MySQL Master-Slave database server replication[1]. 2. Full daily and a full weekly backup of all databases on the master and slave servers respectively. a. Differential/incremental backups plan is currently under investigation. This is because a lot of articles I came across during my research advised against it due to the nature of its complexity and the level of difficulty in it implementation. 3. A clean up plan[3] that includes the removal of any database backups older than 7 days on the master server and 7 weeks on the slave server respectively. MySQL Master-Slave Database Server Replication The MySQL Master-Slave database server replication enables one database server, called the master, to be replicated to one or more MySQL servers, called slaves[4]. In our case, the master server will start off as the BR-DB01 database server. The server currently acting as Appserver-05 in the MarketMover environment is upgradeable to meet the present system and storage requirements needed for the slave MySQL server and manual failover for the Infobright analytics server. Benefits One of the benefits of MySQL Master-Slave Database Server Replication is that we don’t have to schedule maintenance window or shutdown the BR-DB01 server to implement it. Another benefit is that we do not require any...

...strategic way of spreading the word of Happy Science as it applies to such a massive audience, both in and out of Japan. Happy Science is more formally known as Kofuku no Kagaku and is a new religious movement that originated in Japan. The Founder of Happy Science is Ryuho Okawa. Okawa began to write book after book and was deemed the spiritual master of Happy Science not long after its founding. Happy Science believers are deeply rooted in strong faith in the God of the Earth, El Cantare. In order to attain true happiness, also known as enlightenment, the members practice the teachings of Ryuho Okawa on a daily basis by praying, studying the teachings, self-reflecting and meditating. Above all, reciting The Dharma of the Right Mind every morning and evening, is the main pillar of this religious life. One way in which this anime serves as a form of religious propaganda is by having a clear distinction of good versus evil in the film. From the very beginning of the film we see a major difference between Mr. Arai who claims he is the real Buddha and Master Sorano who is truly the reborn Buddha. It is quite evident that Master Sorano is the true messiah and we can witness these powers of the messiah throughout much of the film. Mr. Arai, who is a member of the Sonen Group believes in survival of the fittest and that it is a “dog eat dog” world and as a result doesn’t end up with too many followers in the film. Mr. Arai grows angry when he begins to lose followers to Master Sorano...

...their masters. Twelve Years A Slave, written by Solomon Northup, is a story about a slave regaining his freedom. Solomon, who was called Platt in the story Twelve Years A Slave, was a human trafficking’s victim who was heavily suffering the cruelty and brutality under the slavery system during nineteenth century. Stanley Elkins, who was a historian, compares the Nazi concentration camp with the Southern slaves in his book Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life. Elkins’s ideas were mixed; while his ideas on the treatment of slaves were accurate, most of his ideas on the effects of slavery were inaccurate. First of all, Elkins accurately describes the harsh conditions faced by Southern slaves. Slaves faced many obstacles and punishments that they could not avoid during the time they served for their masters. To be specific, they heavily suffered much ill-treatment which affected directly to their physical body. Solomon points out, “Scars upon a slave’s back were considered evidence of a rebellious or unruly spirit, and hurt this sale.” (80) Scars on their backs proved how slaves’ bodies suffered during the time they were working for their masters. If slaves did just a little mistake or didn’t accomplish their work as how their master wanted, masters would heavily punish the slaves. Also, in the story, Solomon almost suffered his death because the unreasonable master thought Solomon wanted to betray and did the wrong thing. Therefore, that master “tied...

...FINAL REPORT Ivana Kardum PART 1 New strategy-ICA It was essential to define the main features of our interest in the master which represents specialisation of individual capabilities and acquisition and development of new strategies to be implemented in any initiative related to creation of added value to a specific territory. This Master was designed in order to create a network of Euro Mediterranean cooperation represented by experts of different nationalities and entrepreneurial, scientific, cultural and artistic specialization. Moreover it was essential to develop strategies of evaluation and promotion of systems of production whose high quality derives from cooperation and integration of processes between systems of enterprise, culture and art, artistic world and local community, competences and traditions and values represented in the territory by cultural, historical and ambient heritage. At the very beginning of the master we were introduced with the theme of industrial districts and their importance. But we went further because we wanted to create cultural interventions for greater social, cultural and artistic satisfaction. In this sense Sansepolcro represents a natural ambient for such interventions being the part of the southern Tuscany which has rich cultural heritage but not completely evaluated and promoted. The provinces of Siena, Arezzo and Grosseto represent the territory of such interventions. Systems of interaction in a specific region are...

...the only way up the mountain. The swordsman tried everything he could to get through or around the gate, but was unable to. He tried jumping over it, as well as using his sword against it. To the swordsman, it seemed like his master put an impassable spell on it. Seven years earlier was when he left the mountain. The master understood his need to go out into the world to carry out the Way and help people. His master told him everything he needed to know including, “what to seek, what to avoid and what to change.” He also told the swordsman to “remember the standards by which happiness and suffering, liberation and illusion are measured. Without them, you betray the Way and will not help anyone.” The master then gave the swordsman a sword to suppress all evil and a “me ngo glass” to help distinguish the evil from the good. The glass is also called a “Demon Viewer” because it will show you the true forms of demons. The swordsman remembered the first days of journey very well. The sword and the glass were extremely helpful because humanity had many different disguises. First, there was a monk who invited the swordsman back to talk about how they can “join their efforts to help mankind”. When he used “the me ngo glass” to look at the monk, a giant demon formed in front of him. He attacked the demon with his sword and when it begged for mercy, he demanded the demon go back to where it came from and study the Way. Next, he met a mandarin set on finding “better way to govern...

...entertain the lives of higher men, so to speak. He criticizes morality, but he does so fairly, he never favors a single ideology or religion, he is consistent across the board. His perspective on morality focuses on a duality, something he calls “master-slave morality”, where both master and slave morality are two differing sets of values. Slave morality focuses more on kindness and sympathy, whereas master morality focuses more on pride and strength. The core difference being that the “master” set of values was more for the strong willed than it’s “slave” counterpart, in fact he goes so far to say that slave morality is simple a re-valuation of what the master values, which yet again stresses that “intention” aspect of slave morality, whereas master morality focuses more on the consequences of our actions. There’s such a beauty in Nietzsche’s simplicity on the duality of the moralities (and my inadvertent poetry skills), and he reinforces his perceptions with connotations of the two value systems, where slave is viewed, well, as a slave, as a dependent, and where master is viewed as noble and self-empowered. And it’s this assertion where we really see the two moralities start to separate; Nietzsche draws a sharp divider in between slave and master with his perspective on how they regulate themselves. Slave craves external approval, and has a scale that takes into account the entire population, which Nietzsche views as a waste of time, and somewhat hypocritical, since their own values...

...Name: Instructor: Course: Date: Master slave relationship and dialectic Fanon - Black Skin White Masks Black Skin and Hegel Self Consciousness “In this experience self-consciousness learns that life is essential to it as pure self-consciousness. One (self-consciousness) is self-sufficient; for it, its essence is being-for-itself. The other is non-self-sufficient, for it, life, that is, being for an other, is the essence. The former is the master, the latter is the servant” (Hegel 189). Hegel suggests in the dialectic that there is coherence between subject and object, concrete and abstract, part and whole, and for the purpose of dialectic, master and slave. Hegel believes that “master” is a “consciousness.” The consciousness defines itself in mutual relations to what is referred to as slave’s consciousness. This occurs in a process of mutual interdependence and mediation. Hegel uses his Phenomenology of Spirit to provide his understanding and exposition of master slave dialectic as an account of both the need of recognition and emergence of self-consciousness. Hegel’s line of thought and work plays a crucial role in Fanon’s exposition of the colonization by the Western. Fanon exposition focuses more on violence and race. Violence adds urgency, complicates and is driven by the need for recognition. An optimistic and promising moment lurks in Fanon’s Black Skin White Masks. The promising moment in Fanon’s work is articulated in a humanity characterization...
