...Goodman Brown this was my research to writing my paper. In Young Goodman Brown, the main character, Goodman Brown has a bout with his own faith. He ends up losing this battle because of the wickedness in everyone else's hearts. He begins by wanting to be the evil one, then progresses to be the faithful one as the night in the woods goes on. His name has a lot to do with the character in the story. The "Young" in his name is to symbolize innocence, and "GOODMAN" is pretty self-explanatory. He goes off in to the woods and comes with a lost faith in everyone else in the town. Goodman Brown decides he wants to go off into the woods for one last night of evilness before married life really kicked in. He says, "What a wretch am I, to leave her on such an errand! Well; she's a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night, I'll cling to her skirts and follow her to heaven." Goodman's father and grandfather were devout Christians. They knew that the evils of the real world hid in the forest, as did Goodman. But he still went in! He let this man with the serpent staff keep him from turning around, and getting out of the woods. On page 274 the evil man says, "We are but a little way in the forest, yet." Goodman responds, "Too far, too far," but didn't realize he was still walking farther into the woods! He says he has walked too far into the woods, but is still going! He is being overtaken by the evilness of the woods. Just when I thought he was turned to the evil side, Goodman sees...

...Research Paper on “Young Goodman Brown” Goodman Brown, the protagonist of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story entitling his name, seemingly is a firm believer in the doctrine and teachings of the Puritan religious faith. This belief system is unshakable in its certainty about the nature of humankind, and Brown himself appears to share an absolute sense of this belief system’s verities. He embarks on a mysterious mission one fateful evening, however, and from it becomes a recluse from his community of fellow believers, distant from involvement with all people, even his wife. Yet the ambiguous narrative that relates his forest experience promotes uncertainty, so much so that the unseen narrative voice calls into question whether Brown has actually lived the experience or has dreamed it, by which the narrator suggests a conjuring of the experience from his own imagination. What is clear, however, is that Brown is convinced that his experience has been real, with fateful consequences that change his life completely. In a researched response writing, address yourself to answering the following questions: 1. What does the Puritan faith teach its followers about the nature of humankind? 2. What importance does the supernatural have within the Puritan belief system? 3. What connection do you find between the Puritan religion, the Salem witch trials, and the story? 4. What is the story’s central theme? Research for this assignment may be done exclusively on the Internet...

...ETL Conference, 2004, Logan Campus, Griffith University: Craig Furneaux How does Information Technology impact the methods, potential and purpose of education? Craig Furneaux School of Management Queensland University of Technology Abstract: It is evident that information technology has affected changes to the methods, purpose and the perceived potential of education. While various authors differ in their opinion on the degree, desirability and destiny of these changes, all agree that change processes have certainly been underway. However, the process of change is far from over. Numerous authors auger grave peril for education institutions that refuse to integrate information technology into every level of the education institution. Some authors argue that the very nature of education itself will change. Information technology, whether perceived as a power for good or a power for evil, certainly has not been neutral. While effecting change has been difficult in many situations, contemporary information technology has by its very nature, been an agent of change in education institutions. Introduction Lyon (1988) argues that the term “Information technology” refers to “the cluster of computing and communications technologies based on microelectonics” (p. 40). In recent years, this convergence of technologies has provided the infrastructure for significant change in our society and education in general. Our society has become increasingly centred around the management and manipulation...

COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the treatment of legal themes in literature, music, film and other visual arts as part of a broader consideration of the relationship between the humanities and the law. Students will explore the ways that the humanities utilize different perspectives and aesthetic styles in the discussion of such legal themes as morality, justice, equality and authority.

That is the reason why, the Philippine government assigns the highest budgetary priority (Article XIV sec. 5 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution) to provide free education to all. According to one of the readings, education is absolutely beneficial for society on the whole. It is a lifelong process to each person that needs to be reinforced throughout life. However, we need education system that may eradicate illiteracy and may provide the common man an access not only to basic education but also to higher and technical education. Education is a teaching and learning process that involves teachers whose function is to teach young individuals and learners who will gain all the learning imparted by the teacher. But if one of them fails to perform his duty in the said process it could not be realized. How does study habit plays a substantial role on student achievement?

Randel, Gangaram Singh Institute for Inclusiveness and Diversity in Organizations, Department of Management, College of Business Administration, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182, USA a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Diversity Inclusiveness a b s t r a c t A great deal of research has focused on workforce diversity. Despite an increasing number of studies, few consistent conclusions have yet to be reached about the antecedents and outcomes of diversity. Likewise, research on different dimensions of diversity (e.g., age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and culture) has mostly evolved independently. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to examine each of these dimensions of diversity to describe common themes across dimensions and to develop an integrative model of diversity. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. While the term “workforce diversity” is commonly used in scholarly articles as well as in the popular press, the focus and scope of the research is both varied and broad. Until recently, most studies have focused on a single dimension of diversity (e.g., age, sex, race) in a domestic, typically U.S. context. In a world of globalization populated by boundaryless and virtual organizations, it is time to revisit the old theories of diversity and to create a new set of paradigms. Therefore, in this article we examine multiple dimensions...
