2. Thucydides During The Peloponnesian War
This is part of a larger work, History of the Peloponnesian War, where Thucydides records his during
the Peloponnesian War from his perspective and sources he has used. The extract is set during the first
Battle of Mantinea (418 BC) during the Peloponnesian War with Sparta and her allies against Athens,
Argos, and Mantinea. What Thucydides is saying in this extract is that the Spartan King Agis knew
that the opposing army would extend their right wing out of fear to shield themselves and so he
planned to combat this by reinforcing his left wing so then they wouldn t get overwhelmed . He uses
this as part of an explanation as to how Agis left wing was put under pressure during the battle due to

This extract is set during Xerxes invasion and how he captured Athens with little resistance due to
very few people remaining after most Athenians had evacuated. Here it details why some Athenians
stayed behind instead of fleeing to Salamis with everyone else. Herodotus is the earliest known
historian but his work is not infallible. Herodotus himself mentions that he merely records what he
learns and it is not his business to decide if it is true or not . This indicates that not everything he has
written is necessarily correct and is up to discussion by readers. This can lead to both truthful accounts
and biased stories with little accuracies. Many have accused Herodotus of telling stories which J. A. S.
Evans mentions Cicero, saying that the oracle told to Croesus of Lydia was just invented for
storytelling . However despite this there are still many truths to Herodotus work. According to Barry
Strauss, the evacuation of Athens being prompted by Themistocles is backed by a stone document
from ca. 300 BC which may indeed be based upon the original document passed by the Athenian
assembly . Herodotus is fair when dealing with non Greeks. While many would call the Persians
barbarians and sneer upon them, Evans mentions that Herodotus believed the Persians to be no less
brave than the Greeks, but their inferior weaponry put them at a disadvantage . This extract is much

3. Invention Of The Camera And How It Revolutionized History
The Invention of the Camera and How it Revolutionized History Sense the invention of the camera in
1826 photography has been used to document everything from family portraits, social injustice,
sporting events, world news, expressions of joy and sorrow, and hundreds of monumental moments.
The camera has given man the power to reveal the truth visually. Throughout history photographs
have made enormous impacts on social consciousness and ultimately shaped public opinion on many
pressing issues in society. Although photography is often considered a casual pastime, the invention of
the camera has contributed to many aspects of history, science, and other important pieces of todays
world.
Before the invention of the camera, news traveled through word of mouth, writing, telegrams, and
other forms of communication. Often times important moments were depicted through paintings, and
drawings. Unfortunately, because of opinion and misinterpretation, many of those moments, had been
depicted incorrectly. Take, for example the Boston Massacre which took place in the late 1700 s
before the invention of the camera. In order to inform people of what is now known as the shot heard
around the world, Paul Revere, a famous American revolutionist made an engraving of the scene.
People are accustomed to trusting the accuracy of historic documents, however the composition of this
the engraving contains several inaccuracies that serious researchers should be aware of. In Fact when

their impact in the process of change. In order to provide support to this theory the paper includes

However according to the researches organizations must be careful in choosing the type of the
employee involvement. In order to choose the right type of employee involvement in the process of
change organizations should pay attention to the criteria s as follows; roles, skills, resource,
commitment, outputs, and data (Vidal, 2007). Furthermore the author argues that choosing the right
type of employee involvement effects positively in the process of change, commitment and also
reduces cost. Whereas choosing the wrong employee involvement type will negative impact in time
planning, solutions, and also in financial resources. However, (M.Gale J.Clay, 2001) believes that in
order to gain the level of the commitment during the change, the organizations should highly consider
to use some of the other involvement tools such as; communication, education, group discussion,
support, feedback and reward. By giving the people the opportunity the express their opinions in the
individual basis, it is great way to understand their feelings for any concern or any possible fear they
might have for the process of change. On the other hand education is also another indicator that

Those that have read certain comic books, or seen some movies, know that Hulk is a huge creature
with immense strength and an incredible healing factor. When inspecting other historic and
mythological figures, it could be that the Hulk is very similar to Hercules from Greek mythology, and
the Berserkers from Norse history and mythology. To begin with, the Hulk is only half of the equation
to the character. Originally, Hulk was a human named Bruce Banner. Banner was an incredible
scientist that at one time oversaw gamma bomb development. On the day of the bomb s scheduled
detonation, Banner saw someone in the testing area. Hoping to rescue this person, Banner went into
the testing area... This resulted in Banner being caught in the Gamma Bomb explosion and thus
exposed to an incredibly massive amount of gamma radiation. (Comic Vine). In most humans, an
incident like the one Banner went through would have killed them; at the very least they would be
riddled with cancer. No such things plagued banner, instead of killing him, it gave him a form of
power. When Banner becomes too angry, he transforms into the giant green creature that is referred to
as the Hulk. Hulk gains his powers from his anger, the more fury that Hulk has, the more powerful he
becomes. Additionally, Mythologically speaking the Berserkers, are similar to hulk. The Berserkers
were reported to be a sort of gang that worshiped Odin in the Norse religion. Throughout history,
Berserkers have been infamous

Jason were possessed by edilions from the underworld. Percy and Jason started to attack Piper, so then
Piper used her charming powers of Aphrodite to remove the edilions from Percy and Jason. Then the
demi gods split up into groups to go look for the Athena Parthenos Statue. Annabeth, looking for the
Athena Parthenos Statue, had fell into an underground tunnel. In that tunnel, she saw cobwebs that
reminded her of the demi god Arachne. But when Annabeth had fallen she had broken her ankle and
was unable to move. Arachne was in the tunnel with Annabeth, so Arachne slowly approached
Annabeth and said I swore to kill all of Athena s children . Annabeth had used her intelligence to trick
Arachne, by saying that she could display Arachne s tapestry on Mt.Olympus if she spared Annabeth.
Annabeth told Arachne what to weave, Arachne didn t know that she was weaving a handcuff design.

civil war for their beliefs, and more importantly, glory. At least, that is what Henry Fleming fantasizes
when he gets ready for his first battle in The Red Badge of Courage (Published by Bantam Classics,
copyright 2004). The protagonist soon realizes the danger he has placed himself into after getting
bombarded with cannonballs and bullets. He struggles to maintain his pride after running away from

After realizing the mistake he made, Henry makes his way to the battlefield where he asks a fellow
soldier why they are losing. The soldier hits Fleming in the head with the butt of his rifle and knocks
him unconscious. He later awakens and clumsily makes his way back to his regiment camp. When the
guards ask him how he has gotten injured the private replies that he was shot in the head. The narrator
explains, Gee, it must hurt like thunder? he said. The youth leaned heavily upon his friend. Yes, it
hurts hurts a good deal, he replied. There was a faltering in his voice. (74). Shame is observed in
Henry s voice when he takes a pause in his speech; the falter and words hurts a good deal shows how
Private Fleming feels guilty for lying about his injury, but finds it necessary in order not no be a
disgrace to the army. Deception and lies are abundant in most wars, and even though Union Soldiers

9. The Importance Of Physical Similarity
An old saying states that birds of a feather flock together. It can be quite comforting to meet someone
who is similar to yourself. Like minded individuals not only validate our beliefs about the world, but
also reduce the risk of conflicts and disagreements (Barelds Barelds Dijkstra, 2007, p. 479). In fact,
research has shown that people are more likely to be in relationships with others who are similar to
themselves in terms of attitudes, values, social group memberships, and physical appearances than
with dissimilar others (Mackinnon, Jordan, Wilson, 2011, p. 879). Physical Similarity A study
conducted by Mackinnon, Jordan, Wilson (2011) examined how seating preferences are affected by
physical similarity in strangers. The researchers proposed that people would sit closer to physically
similar others even when those physical similarities are unrelated to important markers of social
status, such as sex and race. The study states that without the opportunity to interact facilitated by
physical proximity, a relationship is less likely to form (Mackinnon, Jordan, Wilson, 2011, p. 879).
Across 4 studies, it was found that people tend to sit closer to physically similar others than physically
dissimilar others. Study 1 revealed significant aggregation in seating patterns on two easily observed
characteristics: glasses wearing and sex. Seating arrangements at a Canadian university on campus
computer lab with 31 seats was observed on 21 (non overlapping) occasions over 3 months. Using a
seating diagram, the researcher recorded whether a person occupied each seat. In total, 356 individuals
were observed; 23% were wearing glasses (N = 82) and 57.6% were women (N = 205). This shows
that, as predicted, glasses wearers sat by other glasses wearers (and non glasses wearers by other non
glasses wearers) more frequently than expected by chance alone. Study 2 replicated this finding with a
wider variety of physical traits: race, sex, glasses wearing, hair length, and hair color. In the second
study, 18 university classes (freshman and sophomore level) were observed. Three large classrooms at
a Canadian university were chosen, and professors who taught courses in those classrooms were

11. Reflection Paper On Mechanical Engineering
I believe research is an extremely dynamic process. As time passes, certain areas of research are
becoming more salient, while others require less attention. My areas of research are in mechanical
systems and solid mechanics. My general research question is how the modeling and designing of
components and systems can support engineers toward a sustainable design of products or systems in
energy and transportation applications.
My primary research focuses on designing mechanical systems/components and investigating
mechanical interactions between machine components. The treatments required a truly
multidisciplinary research effort span the entire mechanical systems and solid mechanics spectrums of
mechanical engineering. The research involved design, development, and experimental verifications
of mechanical components and systems, and account for parameters that influence their interactions.
My experience and knowledge has led me to expand my research to account for failure of machine
components and systems with applications in automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industries such as
automotive brake systems and clutches, aircraft landing gears, and drilling downhole assembly.
For the past few years, I directed my research towered development of mechanical systems and

The Art of Akhenaten A Formal Analysis of House Shrine and Akhenaten Making Offerings One of
the most enigmatic pharaohs of Egyptian history, Amenhotep IV, had grown up in the most powerful
family in ancient Egypt. Once he became pharaoh and ruler of Egypt s empire in 1378 BCE, he
changed his name to Akhenaten, effective spirit of Aten , and was known to the people as the heretic
king. Early in his reign, Akhenaten encouraged ideas by using art as a way of emphasizing his political
and religious intentions of doing things differently; therefore, ... Show more content on

This first act as king brought with him a shocking speculation and hostility between his throne and the
priesthood of Amun. Inside the temple was an entirely new style of art, which was often described, as
naturalistic in Akhenaten s portrayal of the human body. No longer was the Pharaoh portrayed as half
animal with the perfect body fitted for the afterlife. Akhenaten and the royal family were shown with
long toes, massive hips, extremely long fingers, skinny torso, ample breasts, big buttocks, and an
elongated face. This exaggeration of the royal family s bodies altered classic Egyptian art and became
better known as Amarna Art.
Another astonishing act to this religious revolution was the Akhenaten s order of the construction of a
new capital, far to the north of Thebes known as Amarna, horizon of the sun, claiming the sun god
lead him there. A few years after, Akhenaten made the decision to abandon Thebes and ordered his
people to pack up and leave behind the city built by his father to receive the blessings of Aten in the
city of Amarna. Shortly thereafter, he abolished traditional gods and goddesses, declaring one
monotheistic deity, Aten, and introduced in art as a more intimate worship in public and personal
settings of the royal family, receiving blessings from Aten, and showing day to day life and activities.
A classic example of the radical transformation of Egyptian state religion is found on the

The practice of administering inhaled high concentration oxygen to patients suffering chest pain is
widespread, has been followed for about a century, and is advised in major textbooks of emergency
care, general medicine, and cardiology. There remains an expectation amongst the general public and
medical practitioners that oxygen simply forms part of the standard treatment of a sick patient
(Nicholson, 2004). A review of the evolution of supplemental oxygen therapy reveals that it is not
evidence based, and there is uncertainty about the benefits and safety. This paper will discuss the
different approaches of the use of high concentration oxygen therapy for the client with acute chest
pain, including previously conducted trials. The physiological benefits and harms, the variation in
international guidelines and the need for future research will also be analysed.
Chest pain is a common and often non specific symptom that can be caused by a number of
underlying conditions , one of the most serious being Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), commonly
known as a heart attack (Chapman, Leslie, Sage, 2012, p. 12). High concentration oxygen therapy,
levels greater than 60%, has been advocated for the treatment of AMI and chest pain for nearly three
quarters of a century (Ranchord, Perrin, Weatherall, Beasley, Simmonds, 2012). As early as 1922,

The theory of cognitive dissonance was introduced by Leon Festinger in 1957, a time where many

It is regarded as a counterintuitive social theory as it implied that actions influenced attitudes as
opposed to the alternative notion, once seen as the more reasonable, (Miller J. L., 2012). His theory of
cognitive dissonance is still referenced today in numerous credible and published work either in
support of the theory or to suggest revisions, (Dember Jenkins, 1970) cited from Cognitive
Dissonance Theory (n.d.), revealing a lasting impact.
Social psychologist Herbert C. Kelman (1953) first investigated cognitive dissonance through the
consequences of forced compliance and hypothesised the opposite of his data findings, which revealed
that counter attitudinal advocacy occurred more often in low reward circumstances in comparison to
higher reward.
Festinger and James M. Carlsmith (1959), similarly followed to find supporting evidence of the
cognitive dissonance theory. They conducted an experiment in the U.S. concerning the cognitive
consequence of forced compliance and found similar results. The study involved 71 male participants
where they were given two monotonous tasks of filling a tray and turning 48 pegs clockwise, both
with one hand and for half an hour each. The participants where split into groups, where one received
one dollar for their time and the other received twenty dollars. Both low reward and high reward
groups where then asked to recommend the experiment to future participants, who were secretly

hit TV show mirrors Fitzgerald s most famous work through parallel themes and characters. Cynical
subjects such as doomed love and corruption of the upper class play a major part in both works, as
well as the story of fight to surmount class and poverty. This story actually played out a couple of

Humphrey and Serena Van Der Woodsen. Dan Humphrey was the James Gatz of Gossip Girl, still
struggling to become Jay Gatsby. He had a nice life with his father and sister in Brooklyn, but always

said, he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent,
and to this conception he was faithful to the end (p.104). Dan and Gatsby both had an idealized, or

19. George Washington And Thomas Jefferson
John Adams (1735 1826) has the historically unfortunate position of being president between two
American icons, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. His presidency is often overlooked by
scholars and even occasionally viewed as an undeserving president who won the office out of early
American political maneuvering (McCullough 2001, 29). Nonetheless, he led the young nation during
the end of the French Revolution and the emergence of Napoleon Bonaparte, a globally tumultuous
period. The nation, and the world, has changed dramatically since the end of the eighteenth century.
However, the domestic and foreign concerns that Adams had to manage and attempt to resolve are still
relevant to current circumstances. Even though Adams only served one term over 200 years ago,
through an analysis of his background, personality, presidential leadership and managerial style, and
his interactions with Congress and the American people, a twenty first century incoming president is
able to learn from Adams mistakes and triumphs.
Life Before the Presidency John Adams was raised in a Puritan household in colonial Massachusetts
during the eighteenth century. Although not a deeply religious or pious man, the Puritan values of

It was believed that the senate was founded by Romulus, the first king of the Roman Kingdom. It
consisted 100 patricians in its early period. Unlike its power in the republic, the senate did not have
more power than advising the King legislatively. But the senate still held tremendous prestiges since it
consisted of the wealthiest and the most powerful members of the society. SPQR, the abbreviation of
Senate and the people of Rome that shows the reputation of the senate, means the Roman society was

22. Classrooms Are Typically Undesirable Learning Environments...
Classrooms are typically undesirable learning environments. Most classrooms can evoke negative
emotions such as boredom, sadness, stress, and even anxiety. In grade school, high school, and
sometimes college, it can be difficult for people to go to class and pay attention for long periods; most
students end up daydreaming out the window or dozing off instead of focusing on the task. Teachers
want their students to perform well academically, which is not as likely when students are not able to
focus for long periods. Some high school classrooms can be extremely dull causing a student s mood
to become dreary therefore causing the student to lose focus. An alternative method to help elongate
student s attention span is with color.
Color is in everyone s day to day lives and has a large impact on emotions and feelings (Kaya and
Epps, 2004). It is known that different emotions can evoke different feelings, both positive and
negative, from people (Kaya and Epps, 2004). For example, the color green has been associated with
earth and nature, which causes people to feel positive feelings such as relaxed and calm. Yellow is also
associated with the positive feelings of happiness and excitement because it is associated with the
season of summer and the sun. Red, however, is a color that can create both negative feelings and
positive feelings. While some may see red as the color of romance and love, others may see it linked
to evil, blood, or war (Kaya and Epps, 2004). Since

24. Tkr In Healthcare
The economic state of the United States healthcare system is one of the most sophisticated yet
perplexing concepts imaginable. The average cost of a total knee replacement (TKR) in the United
States is $49,500 , while that of an identical procedure in an accredited hospital abroad averages only
$9,100. It s not that a TKR actually costs nearly $50,000 in the United States; rather, it s due to
inefficiencies created by the lack of a single payer and heavy involvement of insurance corporations
when it comes to paying for health care costs. These costs are only rising every year and making it
even more difficult for Americans to afford health insurance. In 2014, approximately 33 million

Under Obamacare, almost 6 in 10 Americans can receive medical insurance for an average of just $82
per month. However, the net cost of Obamacare to the U.S. government is expected to reach $1.207
trillion dollars by 2025 , and the majority of this cost will be divided among taxpayers¬¬. Critics of
Obamacare assert that the program has led to excessive overcrowding in hospitals, decreasing the
quality of care. Since 2010, over 25% of emergency room physicians have reported observing a
significant increase in the number of patients . However, in 2016 it was reported that the uninsured
rate of adults dropped from 18% in the third quarter of 2013 to 11% in the first quarter of 2016 . Much
of this can be accredited to Obamacare s success in increasing coverage among American citizens. The

26. Digital Immigrants And Digital Technology
Technology is advancing and becoming complex in our society, as it propels our daily lives. In
learning environments such as schools, most students are able to acknowledge the learning differences
between themselves and their teachers. These differences occur because a student is more likely to be
a digital native, whereas the teacher is considered to group with digital immigrants. Digital
immigrants are those who are able to understand the relevance of technology, but choose to utilize it
differently. However, digital natives are those who are born in a generation in which technology is at
easy access. Since a digital native s mind is introduced to technology in an earlier stage in life, it
functions differently than a digital immigrant ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Digital immigrants, those who are born in the era of writing letters and finding research from literal
texts find it difficult to adapt to technology (Small, 2001, p. 4) On the other hand; the digital natives
born with technology have incorporated it in their daily routines. Vicky Rideout s study of the amount
of time kids this generation spend on technology shows that children and teenagers ages 8 to 18 are
accustomed to technology that that they on average spend twice as much time with screens each year
(Richtel, 2014, p. 4). The increased amount of time using technology is able to impact the brains
learning manner because it strengthens and tests their mind s ability to perform activities. New York
Times mentions the two surveys done by the Pew Internet Project, and Common Sense Media in San
Francisco. In the Common Sense report, for instance, some teachers said that even though the
attention span of digital natives may not be as great as digital immigrants but the constant use of
technology at home and in class test their brain development and allow them to improve in in subjects
like math and science (Richtel, 2014, p. 21). Including technology in digital natives everyday routine
helps test the brain skills of students. This is also proven true as the University of Vanderbilt

27. To What Extent Was the Period of Conservative Rule 1951-64...
This essay will examine the impact of the Conservative party during their period in office between
1951 and 1964. The assessments by historians of these thirteen years vary widely as the Conservative
rule left behind a mixed feeling about its achievements. We will therefore be discussing to what extent
their period in office can be described as thirteen years wasted , based on their performances in the
political, economic and social sectors. When the Conservative Party came to power in 1951, they won
the election by a slim majority of 26 seats, leaving them with very little power to make important
changes. However, their number of seats increased throughout their thirteen years in office, leaving
them with a majority of 107 in the 1959 ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Dig for Victory campaign reminded people of the importance of agriculture.
The Conservatives also focused on several aspects of the social sector by putting into place important
extensions to the Welfare State. These include the increase of benefits and the implementation of the
Mental Health Act which spread awareness of mental illness and increased its social acceptance,
which was a huge step towards tolerance which was ahead of its time. However the plan to build 90
new hospitals across Britain never came into action as the Labour government had retaken office in
1964. Despite this, the improvements in healthcare can be seen as a big success for the Conservatives,
although, yet again it can be said that they could have done much more in their thirteen years in this
sector.
Progress was also made in the area of education as 6000 new schools and 11 new universities were
constructed and many more were expanded. However their was a big debate about the merits of
comprehensive and grammar schools. The Conservatives, who supported grammar schools for most of
their time in office finally gave into the inevitable fact that comprehensive education did offer certain
advantages that grammar schools did not. The time that the Conservatives spent preventing county
councils from introducing comprehensive systems was therefore counter productive and a waste of
time.

Since the MySpace page created by Kowalski was viewed at school and involved several students

protected under free speech. The court used several other court cases to back their decision. The court
relied on Tinker v. Des Moines because substantial disruption to the educational process was present.

29. An Effective Technique For An Organization
Changes affect every person in a business, including the managers and the employees. Managing
modifications in a business can be difficult and countless people within an organization can be
resistant for various reasons. Participation is considered an effective technique for reducing resistance
to change, other techniques includes education and communication, facilitation and support, and
negotiation.
Change in a business can be uncomfortable since it requires surrendering a certain way of thinking
and performing processes and implementing a novel way to accomplish a business goal. Encouraging
employees to participate in the alteration can be one of the utmost ways to reduce the resistance to
change. An employee who participates in the process of the conversion is further likely to embrace the
change. Therefore, one way is to encompass groups that will be affected by innovative procedures in
the development of fresh ideas. In other words, ask workers for their opinions and suggestions and
integrate their solutions. If people are given the opportunity to seize responsibility for specific parts of
a program their sense of ownership will craft stronger advocates. Also valuable input can be gained
from employees who really perform the day to day work as management may not have the
information needed to change the design. Before making slight adjustments anyone who will be
affected or who opposes the transformation should be brought into the decision making process,

Carol Ann Duffy s Mean Time
Carol Ann Duffy s poem Mean Time is about loss of love and the different ways in which time brings
about change or loss of life itself. The poem is very personal and autobiographical to Duffy s life as
are most of her poems. Mean Time is based on mourning your lost love and how regrets seem
meaningless when one day you get up and realise its not just time which has passed you by, but time
has stolen your life too, and in the end it will only be the mourning that you regret. The idea of time
and how it is finite is one of the main themes in the poem.

The stanza is ended by stating that it s our mistakes she is recognising that her partner is not all to
blame and they need to share mistakes, this shows the first sign of putting her life back together.
The poem moves on and tells us how she wants just one hour to be lifted so she would never have said
the words she did. This sets the tone for the whole poem; regret and longing. It makes the reader feel
that she has wasted enough time of her life on this one man, its time to move on. However one
moment she is regretting spending too much time mourning her lost love, now she is stepping over old
territory again, which makes the poem a bit cliché, so the sympathy for the woman is now lost.
One of the last important themes of Mean Time is conveyed in the final stanza, this is how time is
finite we will be dead because death is rapidly approaching everyone, which highlights the fact that
mourning is pointless. This is where the reader can relate to Duffy because they can share their
mistakes too because the events in the poem can happen to all most anybody. I believe that Duffy s
conclusion is do not let your heart take control of your life, you need to no when to move on.

In my opinion, the different thing that Jack Ma have done difference from other company leader is
Jack Ma is a risk taken person. It is because Jack Ma is dared to challenge status quo that have
