Cell science &genetics - lab report - Essay Example The goal of this examination is to watch the few phases of mitosis in an onion root cell through a light magnifying lens. Onion root tips were set up by washing in clean water at that point flushing with refined water. After this, a root tip area about 2mm in thickness was cut from the root tip utilizing a cleaned surgical blade; this was then positioned on a glass slide with a drop of refined water on it to maintain a strategic distance from lack of hydration. A while later the root tip area was them fixed in Carnoy’s liquid inside a Bijou bottle for around 10 minutes. In the wake of fixing, the area was then moved to a Petri dish containing refined water where it was washed for around 2 minutes. Subsequent to washing, the root tip segment was then positioned inside a bijou bottle containing 1 ml of 1M HCl and brooded at about 60ï‚ °C for around 5 minutes. The substance of the cylinder were then filled a Petri dish and the root tip painstakingly selected utilizing forceps and moved into another Bijou bottle containing aceto-orcein which was then left in a dim chamber for around 10 minutes. Th e jug was then expelled from the chamber and the root tip deliberately evacuated utilizing forceps and set on a slide on which a drop of 45% acidic corrosive had been put, this was then secured with a spread slip. At this point the root tip area was at that point very much mollified and recolored; the tip was then crushed by marginally tapping on the spread slip with a pencil until it was uniformly spread out under the spread slip as a pink mass. The glass slide with the root tip prepared for perception on the magnifying lens was then moved to a light magnifying instrument and saw at x400 amplification quality. Photos of the cells experiencing mitosis were then taken and drawings made of the different phases of mitosis. It was seen in the analysis that the cell division process accepted all the four phases appeared in the pictures above and that the recoloring plainly uncovered the highlights of all the four phases it takes for a phone

Peek Over Our Shoulders What Rioters Are Reading January 18, 2018

Peek Over Our Shoulders What Rioters Are Reading January 18, 2018 In this regular feature, we give you a glimpse of what we are reading this very moment. Here is what the Rioters are reading today (as in literally today). This is what’s on their bedside table (or the floor, work bag, desk, whatevskis). Your TBR list is about to get some new additions. We’ve shown you ours, now show us yours; let us know what you’re reading (right this very moment) in the comment section below! Patricia Elzie-Tuttle How to be a Bawse by Lilly Singh: I’m reading a bunch of self-help books this year for a project I am working on and this book was high on my list. I’m not actually familiar with the author; I learned through the book that she’s popular on YouTube. I’m only about three chapters in and she has a very distinct voice, a voice one may appreciate more if they were actually familiar with her work. I’ll keep reading, because it’s fresh and fun so far. (ebook) Liberty Hardy The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border by Francisco Cantú (Riverhead Books, February 6): An account of immigration, family, and law: Cantú, the grandson of Mexican immigrants, worked as a border patrol agent. This is his memoir detailing how his job upholding the law began to clash with his ideas of compassion and humanity. (hardcover)   Jamie Canaves A Dangerous Crossing  (Rachel Getty Esa Khattak #4) by Ausma Zehanat Khan: I love this detective mystery series so much and can’t wait to continue following Detective Rachel Getty and Esa Khattak. While set in Canada, where the detectives work for the Community Policing Section which deals with minority-sensitive cases, the series also travels around the world exploring political and social issues. Khan is a fantastic writer and already the opening of this novel has me fully invested. (egalley) Elizabeth Allen Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff: I have no shame, I had to read this book. And I had to read it immediately. I know there’s some question about the veracity of the revelations, but this book was a juicy, page-turny blast that was both highly concerning and thoroughly entertaining. Wolff might like the word “incredulity” a bit too much but his stories were pretty believable given what information this administration has voluntarily shared with us in their messy Twitter moments and their sloppy fights with the media. (audiobook) Abby Hargreaves The Cooking Gene: A Journey through African American Culinary History in the Old South  by Michael. W. Twitty: It was probably a mistake to start this just after diving back into a low carb lifestyle, but I was eager to jump into a world I really know very little about. As a born-and-raised New Englander who transplanted to the southwestern part of Virginia for college, I wanted to know more about the culture around food in the South. Published in 2017, this nonfiction narrative seemed like the perfect place to start. (ebook) Ashley Holstrom Get Your Sh*t Together: How to Stop Worrying About What You Should Do So You Can Finish What You Need to Do and Start Doing What You Want to Do (A No F*cks Given Guide) by Sarah Knight: I just really need to get my shit together. Sarah Knight’s helping. My favorite tip so far: Make your to-do list, then make a list of those items in order of importance, then make a must-do list for the day. Why didn’t I think of that? (ebook) Emily Polson Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama: My best friend and I just decided to form a two-person book club to recapture the fun of discussing books together during our days as English majors. This was her pick for our first read. I’m only a chapter in, but I love Obama’s narrative approach to the memoir: he’s telling family anecdotes while thoughtfully considering the role retrospect and nostalgia play in our recollection. (hardcover) Sarah Nicolas Busted  by Gina Ciocca: I just listened to a very, very long nonfiction book about DNA, which was good, but I really needed something a bit more fun, so I picked this up. It’s about a high school girl who’s made an accidental career out of catching girls’ boyfriends cheating. (audiobook, courtesy of publisher) Kate Krug The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt: I bought this book months ago and it’s just been sitting on my To-Read shelf judging me. I recently started a new job and have a lovely longer commute, so after investing in Audible, I used one of my credits for the audiobook. I’m not that far in, but I’m loving this book so far and I’m sensing that once I’m done listening, this will be a book I’ll want to actually go back and read a physical copy. (audiobook) Erin McCoy A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch: Enoch’s historical romances are always a delight. Third in the No Ordinary Hero series, this book is extremely hero-centric. Callum takes center stage every time hes on the page and, luckily, hes smart, funny, and so desperately in love with the heroine that I dont mind his scene-stealing ways. Enoch’s books always venture in directions I dont anticipate, so Im anxious to delve deeper into the mystery and scandal of this one. (galley) Elisa Shoenberger My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris: This giant graphic novel is about 10 year old Karen Reyes living in Chicago in the 1960s. She narrates her life through her obsession of monsters. The book is a family epic, a murder mystery, and a character study. It’s beautifully drawn with many nods to the monster movies of the 1960s. I had heard about it from a newspaper article in the Chicago Tribune because the author lives in Chicago. Her images of the city are astonishing.  I’m loving it so far. (softcover) Amy Diegelman Mrs. Sherlock Holmes by Brad Ricca: A friend recently included this in her roundup of favorite true crime books she read in 2017. Mrs. Sherlock Holmes was the nickname newspapers gave to the real life lawyer and investigator who was America’s first female District Attorney. This book follows Grace Humiston as she attempts to find a missing girl everyone else has given up on. When a friend and I decided to revive our two-person, long distance book club to take on the 2018 Read Harder Challenge, I knew this would be a great fit for the true crime challenge. (hardcover ebook) Dana Lee Every Other Weekend by Zulema Renee Summerfield: Being from a family of divorce, the blurb for this book spoke to me. It’s set in 1988 southern California about a nervous 8-year old girl dealing with her parents’ divorce and her new living arrangements. The intro page alone was already so poetic so I’m excited. (egalley) Claire Handscombe The Perfect Nanny by Leïla Slimani: People won’t stop talking about this book either here or in the UK (where it has the much better title of Lullaby). So I decided to get my “read more in French” resolution underway when I found the original on Amazon U.S. (ebook) Adiba Jaigirdar From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon: After the adorable romcom that was When Dimple Met Rishi, I knew that I had to read her second novel. From Twinkle, With Love is proving to be just as sweet and funny, with a charmingly dorky protagonist who is so into film that the book is written in letter formats to female directors! (egalley) Heather Bottoms The Social Justice Advocates Handbook: A Guide to Gender by Sam Killermann: This a very accessible, entertaining book, with great resources, discussion prompts, and practical graphics to help people better understand the complexities of gender. I lead an LGBT-themed book club for my local PFLAG group and this is our January selection. (paperback) E.H. Kern The Genius of Judaism by Bernard-Henri Lévy: How can you not pick up a book with a title like this one? This is Lévy addressing anti-Semitism in the 21st century and, using anti-Semitism in its modern guise as a backdrop, how he sees the future of Judaism. So far, this book is a great read. (paperback) Dana Staves Summer Hours at the Robbers Library by Sue Halpern: Summer Hours is a book about the cast of characters working at the local library in a town that doesn’t have much else going for it. Included in this cast is Sunny, a local “no-schooler” who has been sentenced to volunteering at the library after attempting to steal a dictionary. I’m only a couple chapters in, but the writing is snappy and funny, tempered with just the right amount of bittersweetness. (egalley) Cecilia Lyra The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin: Predicting the future. Superstition. The occult. Magic. This book has all of this wrapped up in a sweeping family saga that spans fifty years and follows four siblings who, as children, were told the exact date each of them would die. I cant put it down! Priya Sridhar Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days by Chris Guillebeau: The webcomic Zen Pencils has endorsed this book, as well as the author. Guillebeau believes that a side hustleâ€"an independent project that earns a modicum of incomeâ€"can provide means for people to gain more freedom in their life, and extra money for necessities. He illustrates simple steps for readers to learn how to find their side hustle, and implement it. (Kindle ebook) Alison Doherty Warcross by Marie Lu: I didn’t read very much Science Fiction or Fantasy last year, so I decided to start the year off with Marie Lu’s new YA novel about a near future obsessed with a virtual reality game: Warcross. Teenage hacker Emika Chen is broke, desperate, and alone when she illegally hacks herself into Warcross. Expecting arrest, instead the game’s creator asks Emika to join Warcross as a spy. I feel like this type of book often goes way over my head, but I’m about halfway through the book and so far the complex character dynamics have me transfixed! (ebook) Tracy Shapley American War by Omar El Akkad: Talk about mind blowing! This is the story of the second American Civil War and it is mesmerizing and terrifying and heartbreaking. If you’re a part of the oil lobby, I wouldnt recommend reading it. Otherwise, I’d suggest you sit down with this book to discover why it was nominated for so many g.d. awards last year. (egalley) Jessica Yang Shadow Girl by Liana Liu: Im always down to read YA books by Asian American authors! But the gorgeous cover and haunting premise were pretty darn appealing too. Just getting started on it! (hardback) Tiffani Willis Abaddon’s Gate by James S. A. Corey: After watching the first two seasons of The Expanse on the SyFy channel I decided to check out the source material. The television series is based on a series of books by a writing duo that goes by the name James S.A. Corey. The first book, Leviathan Wakes, is a mash up science fiction and mystery set against the back drop of space. I loved it! I tore through the 500+ page book in less than week. Since then I’ve been steadily working my way through the series. Now I’m up to book 3, Abaddon’s Gate. Although set in space, it isn’t all space aliens (though there is something alien brewing). There’s political intrigue and mysteries to unravel. And now a character thought to be dead has reappeared. I can’t wait to see where the story leads to next! Brandi Bailey Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation by Aisha Tyler: This is my pick for the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge category “celebrity memoir.” Because Aisha Tyler is my favorite in everything she does. LOVE HER! (library hardcover) Daisy Johnson Battling for News: The Rise of the Woman Reporter by Anne Sebba: I’d found Les Parisiennes a fascinating read, and when I finished that, I headed straight for Sebba’s back catalogue. Battling For News traces the history of women reporters, and delivers some spectacular stories of struggle, growth and bravery in a system determined to deny all of that. It’s taken me a while to get into it, but now that I am, I can’t put it down. Matt Grant Red Clocks by Leni Zumas: I came across this title from an NPR interview about new releases to look out for in 2018. With a publication date in January, this was one of the earliest. The premise (an America in which every embryo is granted personhood and property rights) seemed particularly intriguing in our current political context. I’m only a few pages in, but it’s beautifully written and I’m very much look forward to settling in and going along for the ride. Danielle Bourgon China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan: When I finished the first in this series I immediately pushed it into the hands of my husband and as many friends as possible. Now I’m desperately trying to catch up since they’ve all already finished the series. The good news is that the second one is just as good as the first. Maybe even better. Because, let’s face it, more Kitty Pong makes everything so much better. (hardcover) Christina Vortia When They Call You A Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele: An emotional and insightful memoir about Khan-Cullors early life in Van Nuys, CA, experiencing everyday racial and systemic injustices that led her to become one of three creators of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The writing is poetic in its simplicityâ€"accessible and profound. I received the ARC on Netgalley and will definitely purchase for my personal collection. (egalley) Sam Burt The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing: Lessing is an author I’ve admired from afar; always problematic, as it makes it hard to read objectively. But serendipitously picked this up again at the same time as my book club! A multi-layered old-fashioned novel of Big Ideas whose protagonistâ€"just like Lessing, or indeed any authorâ€"is searching for unity in the fragments of life. (paperback) Rebecca Hussey Himself by Jess Kidd: This is the latest choice for my mystery book group. I’m 30 pages in and loving it, partly because it’s set in Ireland where I’ve recently done some traveling and also because it’s an intriguing story so far. (paperback) Ilana Masad This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins: I met Morgan a few months ago after a long time following her work online and watching her opine on Twitter. She was as wonderful in person as I’d imagined her to be. She read the first essay from this collection aloud and I felt my heart constrict. Now reading her book for a review, and I’m continuing to find both what she shares from her personal life and her thoughts and opinions about the wider culture and time we live in to be absolutely incredible. Incredible not because it’s easy or magical but because she’s so incredibly smart and has put so much thought into both herself and the world at large. She’s a truly incredible writer and commentator. (ARC) Rabeea Saleem The Job of the Wasp by Colin Winnette: I was sent an advance copy of this by Soft Skull Press and the cover and premise sounded intriguing so I decided to give it a go. It’s like if Shirley Jackson wrote Lord of the Flies. It’s a gothic thriller which will by turn intrigue and revolt you. A  bizarre ghost story and whodunit set in a boarding school for orphan boys. (ARC) Kathleen Keenan The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore by Kim Fu: Over the Christmas season I worked a few shifts at my local indie bookstore, and I picked up an advance copy of this novel by Canadian author Kim Fu. The story of a group of girls at a sleep-away camp who experience a shocking and traumatic event on a kayaking trip, this novel is not to be missed. It’s an evocative, haunting, sharp look at how tragedy shapes lives. Available February 13. (ARC) Jess Carbert Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight: After a spate of “meh” mysteries and tepid thrillers, I’m now hellbent on reading a good one. This was recommended to me years ago, and I finally stopped procrastinating and picked it up. Kate Baron is a high-powered single mother working at a prestigious law firm in Brooklyn. She’s proud of her work, but more so of her relationship with her daughter, 15-year-old Amelia. Kate’s life is shattered when Amelia commits suicide by jumping off the roof of her school, but it’s absolutely rocked when she receives a host of anonymous messages telling her it was murder, not suicide, that ended her beloved daughter’s life. Kate throws herself into an investigation of what really happened, desperate for one last chance to vindicate the daughter she feels she failed. (hardcover). Rachel Brittain So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo: I mean, the title pretty much says it all. In a series of essays, Oluo breaks down howâ€"and whyâ€"we should discuss issues of race, from privilege to intersectionality and everything else you could possibly think of. I’m only a few chapters in and already I can tell this book is going to stay with me for the rest of my life. Everyone needs to read this. Everyone. (egalley) Kate Scott God: A Human History by Reza Aslan: I’ve been meaning to read Zealot for a couple years and then I recently spotted this newer addition to Aslan’s bibliography so decided to start with it instead. So often, books on the history and origins of religious thought are a muddied by the author’s own bias (either for or against religion), but not so with this one. Aslan’s goal is not to validate or invalidate belief in God, but to probe history and the human psyche to reveal how and when such spiritual impulses may have developed. So far, the narrative is tightly woven and Aslan is an engaging narrator. (audiobook) Mary Kay McBrayer Carrie by Stephen King: I’m fascinated with how terrified men are by menses, and how the women-are-witches-and-chaos trope keeps going. Carrie gets control over her telekinesis when she gets her period, but she still can’t control her emotions. (Okay, so that analysis is only part of the truth…I’ve always been a little jealous of how Carrie gets to exact her revenge on people who done her wrong. How awesome would it be to make your seventh-grade crush who asked you out because he lost a bet LOSE HIS GRAVITATIONAL PULL? Pretty awesome. So, no, it’s not canon, but it’s REAL entertaining.) Katisha Smith Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi: I received this book as a gift, and it’s been sitting on my bookshelf since then. This year, I am on a mission to read the books on my bookshelf, and this book was my first choice. I am only two chapters in, but Esi’s experiences in the dungeon made me sad and angry about the trauma my ancestors endured during the Atlantic slave trade. There will be many more similar emotions while reading the novel, but I know the book will be an amazing and powerful read. (hardback) Tasha Brandstatter How Not to Die by Michael Greger, MD: My doctor would not shut up about this book during my last appointment. And if it’s good enough for him… (library hardcover) Steph Auteri Puddin’ by Julie Murphy: Dumplin’ was one of my favorite reads last year. How could I not read this sorta-sequel/companion novel? (egalley) Margaret Kingsbury An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir: I recently decided to turn a writing-in-progress from an adult to a young adult novel, so one of my resolutions this year is to read more YAâ€"specifically SFF YAâ€"so I have a better idea of writing in that field. I’m starting with An Ember in the Ashes after hearing so many good things about it. And I see why! I’m only 10% in but I’m already hooked! It’s immediately suspenseful and engaging. (library ebook) Jaime Herndon Don’t Call Me Princess: Essays on Girls, Women, Sex, and Life by Peggy Orenstein: I’ve loved Orenstein since her seminal work Schoolgirls, and have read almost everything she’s written since. Her essays are smart, insightful, witty, and just so darn readable, and I’m really loving this book. She writes about various activists, motherhood, miscarriage, cancer, relationships, and more. Cultural commentary and critique, personal essay, politicsâ€"no one blends these so seamlessly as Orenstein. I’d say this is a must-read. (ARC) Natalya Muncuff The Bittersweet Bride by Vanessa Riley: A reading goal of mine this year is to read historical romance. The Bittersweet Bride is my second historical romance of 2018 and my first novel by Vanessa Riley. So far this second chance romance is quite engaging as I try to determine if the hero, Ewan, will win me over by the end of the book. (eARC) Yaika Sabat The Little Book of Life Hacks: How to Make Your Life Happier, Healthier, and More Beautiful by Yumi Sakugawa: The colorful, completely adorable design and illustrations (and cover) are what first caught my attention when I saw this book in the “New Nonfiction” section of my local library. The content is what made me check it out. It covers everything from beauty and fashion, decor and cooking, to positive affirmations and self love. I have not finished my first read through yet, but I’ve picked up a few handy tricks already, and have seriously loved looking through this book. Laura Sackton A State of Freedom by Neel Mukherjee: Anytime I see anything along the lines of “several interconnected storylines” or “told through four varying points of view” in a book blurb, I have to pick the book up. This book is a series of interconnected novella-like sections, each one following the story of a different character in contemporary India. The writing is beautiful, and the unusual form has me dying to know how it all ends. (library hardcover) S.W. Sondheimer Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson: I’m not a huge biography readerâ€"not because I don’t enjoy learning about individual histories but because years in academia conditioned me to think of non-fiction as exam prep and that, in turn, stresses me out even though I know intellectually I’m no longer being tested. Isaacson’s book is far, far too delightful for me to be concerned about anything other than reading more. Personal and honest, Isaacson obviously admires this template of the Renaissance man but doesn’t shy away from painting the complete picture (as it were). I’ll actually be a little sad when I’m done with this one and already have Isaacson’s biography of Einstein on hold the library. Beth O’Brien Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones: I’m currently on a fae-like binge it seems! I read The Cruel Prince by Holly Black and An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson and I was craving more! A fellow Rioter recommended Wintersong and I decided to pick it up. This one is about goblins, not faeries, but I’m enjoying it all the same! I knew when there was a Christina Rossetti quote at the beginning that I was in for a treat. Jae-Jones’s writing and world-building is beautiful and so far I’m completely taken by the main character Liesl! Sarah Ullery Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi: I read Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo and The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives by Lola Shoneyin last year, and they were two of my favorite books of 2017. Both books take place in Nigeria, and deal with topics of feminism and gender roles in Nigerian families. This book also takes place in Nigeria, but instead of dealing exclusively with family and a woman’s place within her family, Freshwater deals with identity, and where a woman exists within herself. It also deals with mental health, and I’m just coming down from reading The Vegetarian, so I think I’m in the right state of mind to take on this book. I’ve been told it’s sublime. (eARC) Rachel Wagner Weird in a World That’s Not by Jennifer Romolini: I never thought I’d enjoy a career book as much as I’m enjoying Romolini’s. Her writing is clear and concise. She makes real suggestions throughout the book (I’m almost done with it), not just motivational tips. I don’t remember how I came across this book last week, but it came right when I needed it. (library book) Derek Attig Witchmark by C.L. Polk: Witchmark isn’t out until June, but I couldn’t help picking it up as soon as I got a copy. So far my intemperance is paying off: Witchmark is an utter delight. It’s gripping from the first page, with a compelling story that unfolds in an intriguing, well-imagined magical world. (egalley) Annika Barranti Klein Fast-Draft Your Memoir by Rachael Herron: This is a great, fun book full of exercises that Rachael admonishes the reader to actually do, and of course I am not. But! I am not writing a memoir! I am, however, working on a story that’s based on something from my life, and I’m getting ideas from this guide. (egalley)

Script Analysis of Oedipus the King Essay - 848 Words

Script Analysis of Oedipus Rex The complete fate of Oedipus Rex, is foreshadowed by Teiresias, the prophet in Scene II: But it will soon be shown that he is a Theban, A revelation that will fail to please. A blind man, Who has his eyes now; a penniless man, who is rich now; And he will go tapping the strange earth with his staff To the children with whom he lives now he will be Brother and father- the very same; to her Who bore him, son and husband- the very same Who came to his fathers bed, wet with his fathers blood.

No; I will never tell you what I know, Now it is my misery; then it will be yours. (40.71-74) Oedipus in his thirst for knowledge sealed his own fate. The prophet was relentless as he dispelled the truth of the murder of Laios. In disbelief, Oedipus disputed the powers of Teirsias: Tell us: Has your mystic mummery ever approached the truth? When that hellcat the Sphinx was performing here, What help were you to these people? (41. 71-76) He revelled in his own glorious feat of the dispelling of the Sphinx: But I came by, Oedipus the simple man, who knows nothing I thought it out for myself, no birds helped me! And this man you think that you can destroy, (41.82-86) These quotes exemplify the dissention between Oedipus and Teiresias, as pride and conflict collide. It is of interest to note that, while Oedipus believes that he has power over the prophet. It is ironic that it is in reality the reverse. Teiresias held the power of knowledge over Oedipus. He had the power of introducing a poison in the conscience of Oedipus that would lead to his demise. The interaction of characters in this scene has proven to be an effective tool for revelation of character.

It is easy to derive from Hamlet’s demeanour and words in Act I Scene II (â€Å"A little more than kin, and less than kind†) that he is resentful and, therefore, vengeful towards his uncle, the King. This is further corroborated in Hamlet’s soliloquy, in which he contrasts the King with his father (â€Å"My father’s brother: but no more like my father, Than I to Hercules†) and describes how the King’s marriage to his mother breaks his heart.

An Insight on “The need for a Working Society” Free Essays

Flora Tristan was a woman brought up by her mother. Her father died when she was very young, and she was denied, due to her illegitimacy, her father†s inheritance as a rich aristocrat. She gained strength living in poverty and as an adult fought for her place in her father†s family. We will write a custom essay sample on An Insight on â€Å"The need for a Working Society† or any similar topic only for you Order Now Although Flora did not succeed in receiving the inheritance she was welcomed within the family. After escaping from her brutal husband, Flora took her daughter and began a life of travels; learning about people, societies, and especially the lives of women. Flora Tristan†s largest accomplishment was the development and teachings of the Workers† Union, with the incorporation of equality for women with every step . I will focus on how Tristan linked the conditions of women and men workers, how her proposed Workers† Union emancipated both men and women, and how she was received by workingwomen and workingmen. Tristan†s ability to link the conditions of women and men workers was incredible. Tristan saw and experienced the abuse of women in the home and on the job. She linked a woman†s life as a servant to her husband, children, father, and brothers. Women lived life uneducated, unstimulated, and underutilized. â€Å"Tristan continued, women were kept ignorant, brought up either to be gentle and patronizing dolls or slaves, destined to please and serve their masters. † (Strumingher, 97) Tristan believed that it was in a man†s own self-interest to work for the equality of women at work. For men would reap the benefits of gaining more household income and the betterment of their marriage and home life. Not only this, but men would not have to work as hard with the emancipation of women. Tristan was appalled by the working conditions of the English workers†, both men an women, they were unbearable. She visited many factories and could not believe the abuse and unsanitary conditions. She thought that England was indeed the most abusive place for the humanity of the workers. The toxic smells, the extreme contrasts between severe cold into the fiery hot burning coals they had to endure. The life expectancy was short, approximately thirty five for industrial men, and a bit higher for those not under such intense labor. The moral of these workers were low. Happiness was not an option these people worked twelve hours a day and by the time they go home they ate and slept to regain their strength for the next day, fun and enjoyment was not an choice. The end result of the extreme labor was said to be the increase of those going to the taverns and drinking into oblivion. This was the only way for the working class to get away from the miserable conditions of working life. â€Å"In England, where the working class is much more ignorant and unhappy than in France, the workers, men and women, push this vice of drunkenness to the brink of insanity. (Beik, 118) Drunkenness had become an epidemic, the working class was desperate for a way to escape the mental and physical pain of daily life. The fact that women earned one half the wages of men was one factor that Tristan fought. She became adamant about the equality of equal pay and equal work for both men and women. Tristan advocated that women worked much harder and faster in order to make more money just to survive, in the end the idea was that eventually men would be discarded and replaced by the cheaper labor of women. Through Tristan†s travels she was able to see the inequality women suffered through first hand experience and she was able to visualize, create, and implement a societal change, a paradigm shift, that would impact the history forever. The creation of the Workers† Union and the fight for human rights. Tristan†s proposed Workers† Union did in fact lead to the emancipation of women and workers. The Workers† Union was based on several ideas; equality, human rights, child labor laws, unification of classes, workers compensation, education prior to working, and generating capital to prevent poverty. Tristan fought for equality of men and women in the home, workplace, and in receiving an education. â€Å"†¦ But let us hasten to say that to enjoy equality and liberty in principle is to live in spirit, and if he who brought to the world the law of the spirit spoke wisely in saying that â€Å"man does not live by bread alone,† I believe that it is also wise to say that â€Å"man does not live by spirit alone. † (Beik, 108) Tristan captivated the idea of happiness and its true meaning, that no man or woman could be happy without complete emancipation for everyone. With the idea of the Workers† Union, Tristan†s goal was to unite men and women despite their trades, associations, or classes. This unification would bond the groups together to be large enough to fight for justice as needed against those in power. The idea that small groups do not carry a voice and one large group carries strength and has one large voice to be heard. â€Å"In sum Flora†s Workers† Union advocated a general union of men and women of all trades dedicated to two principles: the right to work for all workers, and equal pay for equal work. (Strumingher, 101) Tristan also proposed to have a place where children could go to receive food, hygiene and grooming instructions, exercise, crafts while earning money at the same time. They were in essence being paid to get a basic education and skills. This place was known as the â€Å"Workers† Palace†. Tristan succeeded with the emancipation of both men and women by presenting her research, teaching, and wining people over to the idea of the Workers† Union and how this would help to support men and woman. By understanding the limitations of humans, by looking for a balance of work and time for pleasure, and by stressing the need for education for our children. Tristan met the hearts of people and captured the insanity of their current lifestyles. She was able to influence the naive and accept those who could not understand doing anything other than serving their husbands and children. In general Tristan had a variance in how she was received by men and women. Some women did not accept her due to the hatred caused by ignorance, she was accused of misleading husbands. All in all Tristan was accepting of those who did not see her way and would move on to find people who would listen and follow. She didn†t waste time on useless tactics, she used her time and influence wisely. As Tristan†s plan was evolving, she began to meet with as many influential men as she could. Artisans who liked the idea but not the idea of being relegated to sharing her ideas. She moved on to many other artisans with no success until she read and corresponded with the works of two others, Adolphe Boyer, and Pierre Moreau. These two men worked to reform the compagnonnage and agreed with many of Tristan†s ideas. Workers, we shouldn†t help each other only because we†re in the same trade, but because we are all workers, all in the same social category. † ( Strumingher, 91) Most men and women endorsed, at least a part of, Tristan†s plan of the Worker†s Union, at least pieces of it were accepted by most. She had many difficulties in publishing her work, unable to publish in the press and unable to find a publisher who would support her. She began a diary. Tristan took up a collection from her friends and with this money she was able to publish her first book. Tristan had the chore of having to change the ideas of a society and a way of life. People tend to resist change and have a hard time visualizing the benefits, especially when asked to contribute money each year for this Union. In spite of these obstacles, Tristan had a tremendous following. Women and workers were considered one in the same, both leading lives of unhappiness and slavery. Both were immersed in poverty and abuse, were suppressed, and suffered dehumanization. With the creation of the Workers† Union, Tristan recognized the need to change the way the working class, and women were treated. She brought together different classes, sexes, and moved children out of the workforce and into education. She fought for equal rights for everyone. The Workers† Union slowly changed history, slowly, to developing women and men and leading to their full emancipation. This was the beginning of a future of human rights and an educated society, regardless of sex or race. With these changes Tristan taught, wrote, and traveled to educate the people. She was embraced by many and also had many critics. Most people embraced pieces of Tristan†s plans, which helped in the overall acceptance of the beginning of the Workers† Union.

Jack's physical appearance is described as, "Inside the floating cloak he was tall, thin and bony; his hair was red beneath the black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled and ugly without silliness" (Golding p.19) Jack's original feelings were pretty much the same as Ralphs, to keep an organized group on the island. Jack says, "I agree with Ralph. We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are the best at everything. So we've got to do the right things."

FIELD TRIP REFLECTION Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

FIELD TRIP REFLECTION - Essay Example Some people keep themselves busy by playing chess and entertaining visitors while others spare time to watch people and appreciate the beauty of the city (Grimm et al. 265). Denver city has in place public transportation, which has reduced the amount of traffic on the roads since people prefer this mode of transport as it is cheaper and reliable. The amount of carbon emissions into the atmosphere has reduced since few people use private vehicles reducing the amount of fuel consumed. The hotels and restaurants are highly maintained; hence, sanitation and public health standards are observed. The presence of the parks providing a good resting place for the town dwellers and provide a good opportunity for them to enjoy and appreciate their town (Grimm et al. 266). On the other hand, the city planners and managers failed to device and implement laws and policies governing operations of the city (Grimm et al. 267). For example, the number of homeless people is increasing each day where these people put up illegal camps within the city. The homeless and other idlers disrupt the peace of the town because they make it difficult for normal functioning of the town. These groups of people also pollute the environment since they drop litter around the place, the sleeping bags, and tents lower aesthetic beauty of the town. Public transportation should be maintained and many people encouraged to adopt it as it reduces traffic, reduces pollution and the amount of fuel consumed also reduces. The town planners and municipal council should urgently plan the town properly. Laws and rules should be strongly implemented to scrap out illegal camping within the middle of the town. Housing system should be strengthened so that the homeless can be safe and secure. In addition, resources should be distributed to areas outside the city so that migration to the city is reduced (Grimm et al. 268). Grimm

How attitudes towards studying children have evolved Essay -- Childhoo

This assignment intends to identify how attitudes towards studying children have been evolving over time, whilst also identifying three key principles which should be aspired to when implementing such research. A range of theoretical perspectives and methodologies shall also be explored with examination on children’s roles and their involvement being evident throughout. Researching children is in no way a new phenomenon however there has been a considerable shift in paradigm which has led to increasing amounts of research being carried out ‘with’ children rather than ‘on’ children (Christensen and James, 2008). This could be because of the growing interest in children’s rights to participate (James and Prout, 1997), which as suggested by O’kane (2008) occurred in the late 1980’s. However it is difficult to determine whether this shift in paradigm occurred as a result of natural changes in researcher’s attitudes or as a direct result of new legislation (2008). As at a similar time, in 1989, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) (UNCRC ) was enforced, giving children the right to participate and be heard in matters affecting their lives. This difficulty is evident by Schaffer (1990) suggesting developmental theories have strongly influenced policies thus indicating, as res earcher’s knowledge on children and childhood develop attitudes and policy change. In contrast O’Kane (2008, p.125) states â€Å"changes reflect an acknowledgement of children’s rights†. Views on childhood have and still continue to change (Waller, 2009). The contemporary view that children are empty vessels (Skinner, 1974) is being disregarded as children are no longer perceived as passive recipients in an adult world (O’Kane, 2008... ...exist as if the researcher were to allow the cost to the individual to be weighed out by the benefit towards society (ref) the whole study would be compromised with both the researcher and their research losing validity in the eyes of others (Green, 2003). In conclusion this assignment has identified that attitudes towards studying children have and still continue to change, although it is evident attitudes are still dominated by a western perspective and some changes have been more embraced than others. The findings within this assignment support the view that children now have a participatory role within research, however it also identifies that participation is only possible if the researchers fully embrace children as competent beings and aspires to the key principles of consent, listening and responding to children and adheres to ethical codes of conduct.

Admission Essay about My Motivations for Becoming a Physician Assistant

A better tomorrow is the aspiration for every person, a life full of happiness, joy and greater peace is something one cannot do away with. The field of medicine is very exciting as it offers one an opportunity to interact with people across diverse cultural settings. I acknowledge my parents for giving me a chance to learn and become proficient and a master of two critical languages: English and Spanish that have later integrated my interactive skills. The exposure and experience with my personal friends and family has proved that I am a motivational speaker, giving hope to many and encouraging them to live a positive life rich with great expectations. At the moment I am 38 years old, born in Venezuela and I have a passion to extent a helping hand to those who are in need of personalized health care and medical attention is the primary motivation that has propelled my desire to be a physician assistant. I am strongly convicted to dedicate the rest of my life caring for people. Working beyond my country’s borders is the first thing that struck my mind as early as at the age of three years. This wonderful dream was positively embraced by my parents; they enrolled me in a private academy in Caracas city that offered international studies. Living my dream was no option. The first challenge I encountered in my studies was when my paternal uncle was diagnosed with brain tumor and scheduled for a nervous surgery in Venezuela National Hospital. I was assigned to stay with him at the hospital caring for him. It was unfortunate that he later succumbed to death after the surgery. Going to the United States was not an easy task; my exceptional performance earned me a scholarship to study tourism administration at Caracas University College. In my final year of study, the recommended internship for every Tourism Administration graduate student equipped me with relevant skills and knowledge. Immediately after the internship at the Hotel School of Venezuela, I was directly employed by Club Med. This acted as a leeway out of Venezuela. Although I had mild proficiency in English, my determination to overcome this hurdle worked for me and up to now I understand each and every English jargon. I worked for various clubs in Bahamas in US; through my diverse interactive skills, I decided to work as a volunteer in Medicine at a clinic in the neighborhood, working as an interpreter. Many Spanish patients had a problem in communicating their problems to doctors. The three sessions per week at the clinic helped solve the problem and patients associated with me on personal g rounds. The health care providers had an easy time treating their patients. I got married and with my husband we decided to settle in South Carolina where I managed to get a veterinary assistant job; an on-job training. The surgeries were fascinating and provoked me to learn more on biological  Ã‚   processes. Within no time I was confirmed a certified nurse assistant (CNA) that gave me an opportunity to work at an intensive care unit at Medical University of South Carolina. My job reputation was outstanding, the most challenging cases were assigned to me and hence I acquired more new skills. Moving to Colorado with my husband, I had a passion to work in healthcare and enroll for a bachelor degree in science. My exposure to more critical and challenging medical tasks, I became emergency medical technician which saw me employed at trauma telemetry unit at the Swedish Hospital. Later I graduated in Biology with a minor in Chemistry at University of Colorado.   The birth of my son Nathan showed me that motherhood is a very tasking job. Nathan was not medically fit; I had to get specialists to treat him. I have come to appreciate doctors’ efforts in the same regard as physician assistants. Considering my son’s condition, studying medicine will keep away from him as it is an involving faculty, becoming a physician assistant is the only option to balance my career with family matters.
