Well Doc, I don’t quite know what to do. I haven’t been able to sleep, and when I do get the privilege of sleep it only lasts for a few hours before I wake up due to a dramatic nightmare. So many bad things had happened on that island, so many bad things that I cannot get out of my mind. No matter how much I try to forget about it I just keep reliving what had gone on. I need your help; I don’t know how long I can go on like this. I learned a lot about myself and others, sadly I don’t know if I like it. When the plane crashed on the island I thought I was with the most able bodied kids to help all of us survive. We were all from a higher end academy and had vast knowledge in miscellaneous subjects. Also, we were probably the most mature kids for are age, coming from the U.K of course. Yet, I was wretchedly wrong. One thing I found out about those kids is that naturally humans are savages. Another boy on the island, Simon, was viciously murdered because we were all dancing and in the moment and acting wild. Looking back on this event I don’t remember much of what went on except the fact that we killed an innocent boy just because we were dancing and having fun. That was not the only time I saw savagery. It happened when Jack and his hunters killed the sow. They didn’t just kill a pig for food, the vindictively and ruthlessly murdered a pig. The kill of the pig seemed as if to give them a high. The hunters were in awe of the fact that they could dominate another animal and that they held the pigs life in their hands. They chose if it got to live or die. It makes it hard to sleep. When I close my eyes at night I just see faces; faces of Piggy, Simon, the sow, and even the twins. I feel I was part to blame for what happened on that island. I could have changed it all. I think that if I stood up and made, and I mean forced all the kids to stay together as one tribe that no one would have been murdered or tortured or been a cast out from the group. I was too afraid of what Jack and his hunters would do to me I didn’t make more of an argument towards them staying with us. I was scared that if I stood up and no one else followed me or that Jack would not listen they would target me as the enemy that I would be in big trouble. Looking back on this I am deeply disappointed with myself. I should have stepped up and been a true leader when my fellow classmates needed me to be. I needed to become an adult and more mature, but I just couldn’t. I learned that when I was faced against a majority I could not act like who I really am without fear of the consequences. If we had an adult on the island I believe that none of this would have happened. That is if the adult had set up rules. When we were on the island it was hard to have rules and follow them, especially when the rules were set up by a kid that has all the qualifications as you. That is why an adult would have changed the outcome on that hellish island. With an adult their kids would have behaved different; they would act better mannered and well behaved. The kids I think would have actually followed the rules. The adult would be able to enforce them and no one would stand up to him because he is obviously superior and more mature then us. I learned that people, mostly kids do not want to follow the rules of a person that is equal to you, they were just lucky enough to win a popularity vote. Well Doctor, this helped a lot. Getting all of this off my chest really takes a load off of me. I am still unsure how long this will last though; I don’t want to see those kids’ faces anymore. I don’t want to have uncontrollable nightmares. I wish I had never learned how our human race truly acts without structure. Sometimes I pray that it could have been me instead of Simon or Piggy.

...Hợp đồng kỳ hạn (forwards) Hợp đồng kỳ hạn là công cụ lâu đời nhất và đơn giản nhất. Hợp đồng kỳ hạn là thoả thuận mua hoặc bán một tài sản (hàng hoá hoặc các tài sản tài chính) tại một thời điểm trong tương lai với một giá đã thoả thuận ngày hôm nay. Hàng hoá ở đây có thể là bất kỳ thứ hàng hoá nào, từ nông sản, các đồng tiền, cho tới các chứng khoán. Theo hợp đồng này thì chỉ có hai bên tham gia vào việc ký kết, giá cả do hai bên tự thoả thuận với nhau. Giá hàng hoá đó trên thị trường giao ngay vào thời điểm giao nhận hàng hoá có thể tăng lên hoặc giảm xuống so với mức giá đã ký kết trong hợp đồng. Khi đó, một trong hai bên sẽ bị thiệt hại do đã cam kết một mức giá thấp hơn (bên bán) hoặc cao hơn (bên mua) theo giá thị trường. Như vậy bằng việc tham gia vào một hợp đồng kỳ hạn, cả hai bên đều giới hạn được rủi ro tiềm năng cũng như hạn chế lợi nhuận tiềm năng của mình. Khi có thay đổi giá cả trên thị trường giao ngay, rủi ro thanh toán sẽ tăng lên khi một trong hai bên không thực hiện hợp đồng. Ngoài ra, vì mức giá đặt ra mang tính cá nhân và chủ quan nên rất có thể không chính xác. Ví dụ: Tình hình giá cà phê trên thị trường Việt Nam thường bất ổn và dao động tùy thuộc vào tình hình thời tiết và giá cả cà phê trên thị trường thế giới. Để tránh tình trạng bất ổn, vào đầu vụ, công ty A chuyên xuất khẩu cà phê có thể thương lượng và ký kết hợp đồng mua cà phê nhân xô kỳ hạn 6 tháng với nông dân B với số lượng 20 tấn cà phê, nhân xô giá mua 47 triệu đồng/tấn. Lúc đó A là người...

...Vietnamkrigen Studieretningsprojektet 2008/2009 Abstract The study examines the American involvement in the Vietnam War, and the different consequences that this caused. During the war in Vietnam, a lot of American citizens got more and more upset about the war itself, thinking that it was meaningless for American soldiers to die for a cause that they did not believe in. Also the Medias massive covering of the war enlarged the protests, and pictures and videos of dead or massacred Vietnamese civilians aroused great disapproval in the Western world of the American government. The paper also contains an analysis of how the book “The Things They Carried” shows the influence that the war had on the soldiers. The author of the book, Tim O’Brien, was a soldier in Vietnam himself, and in the book he tries to give a true picture, both of the war in general, and of the war that he experienced himself. The study discusses whether or not the USA has learned something from their failure in Vietnam, compared to how they handle the war in Iraq. It concludes that the Vietnam War had a great impact on the way of thinking for many young men and woman from that time, and that it had a horrible influence on the soldiers – who had very high suicide rates among them in the time after the war. It also concludes that there are too many similarities between Vietnam and Iraq, and that this can be a bad thing for the USA. Indholdsfortegnelse Abstract 1 Indledning 2 Krigen på hjemmefronten...
