Explain Patrick Henry's position regarding the British. Explain how he supports his arguments (ethos, pathos, and logos) with evidence from the text.

In his 1775 speech to the Virginia House of Burgesses, Patrick Henry states that the American colonies must separate from Britain by declaring war because Britain's rule over the colonies has become tyrannical.
Henry establishes the ethos of his argument by identifying himself as a man who respects those who have opposing opinions. He feels that the time to separate is now, and he understands that others will have reservations about declaring independence from a military superpower, particularly before the colonies have organized an army or navy.
Henry's appeals to logos are evident when he points out that continued negotiation with Britain is likely to be fruitless. He reminds his audience that the colonies have been attempting to negotiate with the king and Parliament for a decade and that no progress has been made thus far. An ample precedent has been set. He also points out that the British navy and army have the colonies surrounded and that they are there to continue their subjugation.
Henry appeals to many emotions in his audience, including the manhood or masculinity of the men listening. He paints an image of them on their backs and in chains. Though it is a metaphor, his insult is clear. He also appeals to their faith in God, claiming that God will find allies for the colonies to help them fight the British.

How does Fanny Price relate to social class?

Fanny Price was described even by Austen's family and friends as insipid and timid. But is that all that Fanny Price is? Is Fanny Price's role simply to illustrate a morality tale in which being true to one's values leads to happiness? Fanny is a lower social-economic class girl from a struggling working class family. Her rearing and education are undertaken by her upper class relatives who are of the nobility. She is instructed in where her privileges end and in what her obligations are by her domineering, meddlesome middle class aunt. Fanny's character traits are molded by class demands and barriers at every stage of her life. Does Fanny keep strictly to her moral and religious values because she has an inner trait that compels her to do so or does she because her class position forbids her the privilege to do otherwise, as is suggested by Tara Isabella Burton in "In Defense of Fanny Price" (The Paris Review)?
If it can be argued that Fanny's indoctrination in the limits, barriers and demands of her social class shape her "gentle" though timid personality—and it certainly can so be argued when Mrs. Norris' daily interactions with her, and the Bertram's silence, are analyzed—then it can also be argued that Austen did not intend Fanny's role to be that of illustrating the rewards of holding to moral values. Rather Austen may have intended Fanny to illustrate the constraining inequality and ostracization of socioeconomic class barriers that foster privilege for wealth and power for the upper classes and that exact rigid adherence to codes and morals for the unprivileged lower classes.
This aspect of Fanny's characterization is illustrated when she is contrasted to Mary Crawford for whom wealth, power and connections allow her to brush aside moral breaches. For Mary, "right" is what her wealth and powerful class position can smooth over, while for Fanny, "right" is strict adherence to the demands made upon her by virtue of her powerless class.
How does this socioeconomic class analysis effect the analysis of Fanny's character? When we consider that Fanny actually resisted the influences of wealth and power and, in her own gentle and timid way, spoke out against wrong moral choices, we can say that Fanny absorbed the determination and strength of convictions that usually only upper class people had the privilege to express. Fanny doesn't give in like a servant or village peasant might have to do; she resists.
Fanny may be timid and, perhaps to some, insipid, but she has nonetheless absorbed some of the dynamic of determined assertiveness that is part of the privilege of the upper classes.

Where is Dave Pezler now?

After suffering horrific abuse in Daly City, California, Dave Pelzer was rescued from his abusive mother with the insightful and kind intervention of his teachers. After foster care, he joined the Air Force and served in the Gulf War. He married and had a son; that marriage later dissolved, and he remarried a woman who also served as an editor for his writings.
Although he is most well known for A Child Called "It," Pelzer has written seven books total. He has won numerous awards in his adult life, from one of the Ten Outstanding Young Americans to the National Jefferson Award. He makes a living touring the country as a motivational speaker and encouraging others to speak out when they see signs of abuse. He also speaks to teens on being able to help themselves and to all ages on maintaining resolve through overwhelming situations. The location of his current office is listed as The Sea Ranch, California.

Describe the type of relationship that the author had with her mother in chapter five.

In chapter 5, "Aimlessness," the author, Mary Crow Dog, states that she has major differences with her mother and that these result not from a generation gap but a "generation Grand Canyon."
Mary's relationship with her mother is difficult and further exacerbated by her mother's harsh treatment of her other daughters, Barbara and Sandra.
She talks about a "wall of misunderstanding" between her and her mother, who was always concerned about conducting herself in a manner that would get her the approval of others. This supersedes her concern for the emotional well-being of her daughters.
For Mary's mother, it is important to be a good Christian and to stay on the right side of society. Mary is unable to adjust to her mother's puritanical values.
Finding it difficult to reconcile herself to such a mentality, Mary keeps to herself, showing little interest in things that girls of her age normally do. Her awareness of Indian history and her personal experiences influence her conduct with white people, "half-bloods," and "full-bloods."
When unable to take the stress of frequent confrontations with her mother, Mary leaves home one day without informing her.

What are the narrative techniques in Anton Chekhov's "Ward No. 6"?

Anton Chekov published his short story "Ward No. 6" in 1892. The story depicts a philosophical struggle within Dr. Rabin over institutionalized cruelty. The author uses narrative techniques such as perspective, setting, and irony. Chekov writes primarily in the third-person perspective. Occasionally the narration addresses the reader. In this way, Chekov invites us to take a closer look at the ugliness of Ward No. 6.
There is significant detail in the descriptions. He begins by leading the reader to the asylum: "If you are not afraid of being stung by the nettles, come by the narrow footpath that leads to the lodge, and let us see what is going on inside." The setting is not pretty; it has oppressive architecture, a nasty smell that permeates the building, and a violent caretaker named Nikita. Chekov individually characterizes each member of Ward No. 6. Their plights are unique and horrible. The choice of perspective closes the distance between readers and the suffering of the patients.
One of the patients, Ivan Dmitritch Gromov, begins to interest Dr. Rabin and facilitates his ironic tragedy. In the past, Rabin sought to improve the asylum, but when his efforts failed, he lost hope. Rabin became idle, taking comfort in reading and philosophical discussions. In response to that attitude, Gromov criticizes the doctor for rationalizing cruelty with intellectualism. After losing his position at the asylum, Rabin sinks into nihilism, then is forced to become a patient.
Irony comes in the form of upsetting expectations. In the pursuit of intellectual meaning, Dr. Rabin descends into fatalism. The doctor who starts out trying to improve his asylum finds himself trapped behind its walls. Dr. Rabin has a revelation while in captivity, but the knowledge can no longer help him, as he finds himself without power. Chekov crafts the perspective to draw a reader in and provide a delivery mechanism for the story. The setting illustrates the ghastly conditions of the asylum, and Dr. Rabin's fate demonstrates the severe degree to which his intellectual rationalization is flawed.

Where is the setting (place) of The Pearl stated?

The setting of The Pearl is a small Mexican fishing village called La Paz. In Spanish, La Paz means "peace," which is somewhat ironic given that Kino's discovery of the precious pearl of the title brings him and his family anything but.
The setting is important to the story as it allows Steinbeck to explore a number of themes, such as the poverty of the fishing community and the racial tensions that exist between the social elite, descended from the Spaniards who conquered this part of the world, and the indigenous population, to which Kino and his family belong. The elite, represented by the doctor, look down on indigenous folk, seeing them as racially and culturally inferior. That explains why the doctor refuses to give Kino a fair price for his pearl and tries to steal it instead. He and his ancestors have been exploiting the indigenous people for centuries, and he's determined to keep this ghastly tradition alive for as long as possible.

How did Claudia think she and her brother should spend their time while they were hiding out in the museum?

While they are hiding out in the Metropolitan Museum after running away from home, Claudia insists that they use their time for enrichment. Living inside a museum, she reasons, is an excellent opportunity for a cultural education. While Jamie isn't initially as interested in this activity, Claudia convinces him to engage with the historical pieces so they can learn and experience as much as possible.
They spend their time interacting hands-on with the pieces in the museum, sleeping in beds in the exhibits, bathing in an architectural fountain and much more. This is a very great opportunity to interact with the artifacts in the museum and learn hands on what historical people actually experienced (they get to feel how the antique beds felt and what it was like to bathe in a historical fountain). This greatly enlightens them, and is a successful educational experience.

Claudia sees the time that she and her brother spend in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art not just as an adventure, but as a cultural and educational opportunity. Claudia is nothing if not ambitious; she tells Jamie that she wants them to learn everything.
The way they do this is through meaningful interaction with the numerous historical objects they encounter, whether it's sleeping in the bed in which Lord Robert Dudley's lover was allegedly murdered in 1560, bathing in the Fountain of Muses, or hiding musical instruments in ancient Roman artifacts. Long before it became standard educational practice in museums, Claudia and Jamie's experience is very much hands-on. The various objects on display at the museum are not just there to be looked at but touched and experienced. This gives the children a much deeper knowledge and appreciation of the past, where they feel so much more comfortable and at home than they do living with their parents.

How are the themes of restoration and nature explored in Lady Chatterley's Lover?

One way to think about these themes is to associate Clifford and his impotence with the war, psychological and sexual alienation, and the rapid industrialization that is polluting the English countryside. Mellors, on the other hand, is connected to physical labor and the natural world and, of course, sexual potency. Lawrence is pretty explicit about this duality. Connie, of course, is associated with restoration; in a sense, through her sexual gratification she is "restored" to womanhood and, in a larger sense, points a way toward a larger restoration of English society. While it would be simplistic to say that Lawrence is arguing that sex is the answer to the social rottenness that followed World War I in England, it's also clear that the immediacy and spontaneity of Mellors' and Connie's relationship is meant to be a kind of antidote to Clifford's depression and the class distinctions that circumscribed British society at the time.

Which line provides the best evidence that Himmelstoss is unstable and hesitant to fight in All Quiet on the Western Front?

For about the first half of the novel, Corporal Himmelstoss exercises considerable control over the young recruits’s lives. A sadist, he enjoys making them suffer more than he actually tries to make them better soldiers. When their resentment boils over, they join forces and attack him in his bed. When they actually get into combat with him, however, it is a different story. He is clearly unprepared for the conditions they are all facing. During one attack, the men must jump into a dugout, then rally and run back out onto the field. Noticing that Himmelstoss is missing, Paul jumps back into the trench and finds him trying to hide. He has what Paul describes as “a small scratch,” which he is using to try to pretend he is wounded. Paul orders him to get out, but he does not move. Now he is dehumanized into dog-like behavior.

“Out!" I repeat.
He draws up his legs, crouches back against the wall, and shows his teeth like a cur.
I seize him by the arm and try to pull him up. He barks.

What did Johnny realize at the barn dance?

When Johnny is at the barn dance at the Grandsire's big barn, he forgets about his deformed hand. The girls he dances with take his hand, and they don't seem to notice that his hand is misshaped. The girls' behavior is different from that of the Boston girls, who won't touch his hand and regard his hand as revolting. Later, Rab tells him that Johnny makes people think his hand is disgusting, as he always hides his hand in his pocket and takes it out as if it were hideous. If Johnny forgets that his hand is misshapen, he conveys a stronger and more confident sense of himself to others. Johnny realizes that the way other people see him has a great deal to do with the way he presents himself to the world.

Why do all the characters have similar names?

Wuthering Heights was Emily Brontë’s only novel, so we cannot compare the literary devices in this novel to her other writings. However, giving her characters similar names was clearly an intentional and impactful device. In doing this, Brontë shows the complex nature of familial relationships, our tendencies to repeat the mistakes of those who came before us, and the opportunity we all have to make the choice to be different.
Catherine Earnshaw loves Heathcliff, but she marries Edgar Linton because she thinks it is the right thing to do. Heathcliff was adopted by the Earnshaw family and given the name of a deceased son, which represents his place in his new family. He is preferred by their father over his other son, Hindley. Heathcliff and Hindley Earnshaw (Catherine’s brother) have an intense sibling rivalry, leading to much strife within the family. Later, Hindley’s son, Hareton, is raised by Heathcliff. Catherine (Cathy) Linton is Catherine and Edgar’s daughter. Linton Heathcliff is the son of Heathcliff and Edgar Linton’s sister, Isabella, whom Heathcliff married to get revenge on Edgar for marrying Catherine. Heathcliff encourages a romance between Cathy and Linton to advance his revenge on Edgar and Cathy, whom he blames for Catherine’s death. Cathy marries Linton but eventually falls in love with Hareton. She is able to do what her mother could not: do what she wanted with her life and find happiness.

The fact that the mixed-up names of the first generation of characters and the second generation of characters are all so similar and confusing is a deliberate literary trick of Bronte's. The various Lintons and Earnshaws, as well as the confusing "H" names (Heathcliff, Hindley, and Hareton), are meant to show the exact parallels between the older generation and the younger. Will Cathy Linton make the same mistakes as her mother, Cathy Earnshaw? Will the marriage of Linton Heathcliff and Cathy Linton be as abusive as the marriage of Heathcliff and Isabella Linton? Will Hareton pay for the mistakes of his father Hindley? Will love or pain win out this time around? The questions are all emphasized through the parallel naming.

In this desert, what are some of the natural things that terrify people?

In 2001, twenty-six people crossed the US border illegally, and only twelve survived the trek through the unforgiving Yuma desert. One of the first natural things that is terrifying is the weather and the effects it can have on the human body. Imagine the hot sun relentlessly beating down on you for hours (and days) with no shade and no water, the scorching sand beneath your feet, and dust and sand in your eyes and mouth. This type of heat can cause delusions and disorientation, not to mention the possibility of hyperthermia from heat stress and exhaustion.
These people were abandoned by the smuggler who brought them across the border. This leads to another natural effect: fear. Imagine you have no water or food and, worse, no idea where you are or where to go. Let's add another terrifying factor: the many poisonous creatures that live in the desert, such as rattlesnakes and scorpions.

The unforgiving landscape of the desert acts as an additional barrier to Mexican immigrants trying to make it across the border. The natural features of the desert are presented in almost a quasi-mystical way, as if the desert were possessed with dark, malevolent spirits hellbent on doing evil. Wherever one turns in the desert, there is always something guaranteed to strike fear into the heart. As well as the boiling desert sand, there are also snakes, scorpions, spiky trees, and cacti. All the natural features of this harsh, brutal environment come together to create an apocalyptic vision of hell on earth.
In giving his account of the Wellton 26's terrifying ordeal, Urrea draws a parallel with Moses leading the people of Israel into the wilderness. In this way, he hopes that more Americans will empathize with the plight of Mexican immigrants, instead of shrugging their shoulders at what's happening on the border and preferring not to think about it.

Why did Donald Trump shut down the government?

President Trump refused to sign any appropriations bill—a bill that authorizes the spending of government funds—that did not include funding for his projected border wall with Mexico. The Republican-controlled Senate had originally passed an appropriations bill without border wall funding, and the new Democrat-controlled House of Representatives that took office in January 2019 voted to pass it. But Trump insisted that he would veto any bill that did not provide funding for the entire border wall.
Attempts were made at compromise, and Trump endorsed a stop-gap measure to keep the government open for three weeks to allow some kind of long-term deal to be made. However, no progress could be made during talks between the President and Congressional leaders, as Trump reiterated his demands that any appropriations bill should include border wall funding. And so, at the end of the three week stop-gap period, the government shut down and would remain shut for another thirty-five days.

Who was John Hay and what was his public service career like? How and why was he an influential American?

John Hay enjoyed a long career in public service. He was one of Lincoln's personal secretaries. He also helped write a biography of Lincoln with his fellow secretary John Nicolay which shaped the president's image among historians of that era. John Hay served as Ambassador to Great Britain in 1897 and was instrumental in smoothing over ill will between the United States and Britain over British involvement during the Civil War on behalf of the Confederacy. Hay also received British assurances that Britain would not intervene during the Spanish-American War. Hay served as Secretary of State from 1898 to 1905. His greatest achievement in office was the creation of the Open Door Policy in China which ensured China's territorial sovereignty at a time when Europe and Japan sought out their own sphere's of influence in the country. Hay also played a prominent role in the Boxer Rebellion, asking only that guilty Chinese be punished for the attacks against Westerners. Hay was also instrumental in predicting Panama's war of independence against Colombia and in attaining American rights to build a canal in Panama.
John Hay's career is noted for longevity as well as making the United States a dominant player in the Western Hemisphere. Hay was fortunate to be a major player in public life under the McKinley and Roosevelt administrations when the United States wanted to expand its international outreach.

Where does Melinda have to work over the holidays

Melinda's parents don't think she should be spending the Christmas holidays just sitting around the house doing nothing. They think she'd be much better off getting some work experience. As a result, Melinda is required to work at her mom's clothes store. But things don't go very well. She soon gets bored refolding all the shirts in the storeroom. To make matters worse, she becomes the object of suspicion among the other employees, who resent her for being the boss's daughter. Melinda ends up doing more reading than actual work, which makes her feel kind of guilty when she finds out that her mom's store didn't do much business over the holidays.
Things don't work out for Melinda at her dad's insurance office, either. For one thing, she's annoyed at how much easier her dad's working life seems to be in comparison to her mom's. Melinda's dad gives her some menial chores to do, such as licking envelopes. Unfortunately, she cuts her tongue on one of the envelope's flaps. There's blood everywhere, and Melinda's dad is not very happy about all the calendars that have now been ruined by bloody envelopes.
Melinda's experience of the world of work may not have gone according to plan, but at least it has made her actually look forward to going back to school. That's a first.

What caused the political rivalries and religious rifts that divided Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries?

There were a number of political and religious rivalries in Europe at this time that caused quite a bit of turmoil. Let's look at what caused some of the major ones.
There had been attempts to reform the Catholic Church going back to the fourteenth century. A number of early reformers were concerned with corruption amongst the clergy. For instance, the Bohemian priest Jan Hus was concerned with the vast wealth of the Church and spoke out criticizing the pope’s authority. In 1414, he was charged with heresy and executed. He and other early reformers inspired the German monk Martin Luther to challenge the Church's authority. He was particularly concerned with the sale of indulgences, which he saw as a corrupt money-making scheme. After he was forced out of the Church in 1521, Luther started his own denomination, known as Lutheranism.
Luther gained the support of a number of German princes who were unhappy with their position as subordinates to the Catholic leadership. A number of localized religious and political conflicts took place over the next three decades, as princes fought one another and the Catholic Church tried to reconsolidate power. These wars ended in 1555 with the signing of a treaty known as the Peace of Augsburg, which stated that each prince within the Holy Roman Empire could determine the religion of his particular principality.
As we can see, it was the struggle between princes that caused many of the divisions in Europe. Whether to remain Catholic or to adopt one of the new Protestant religions created much of the strife of this period. There were other divisions throughout Europe at this time with similar origins, namely King Henry VIII of England founding the Anglican Church. Like many of the German princes who adopted Lutheranism, King Henry also wanted independence to rule without the interference of the Catholic Church.

Was the civil war inevitable? How might compromises have forestalled the division between the North and the South?

There is really no way to prove that any historical process or event was inevitable if we go back far in enough in the chain of events that preceded it and say that if events "a,b,c,d, and e" had not occurred, then f would not have had to happen. For instance, if we go back to the 1790s and hypothesize that the cotton gin had not been invented, then it is possible that the "need" for enslaved people would not have grown as it did (because of the need for more people to harvest cotton given the faster rate at which the machinery made it possible to process it) and the Southern leadership would therefore have had the sense to free the enslaved people, just as the Northern states gradually did during the same period. In that hypothetical case, there would then have been no sectional conflict, and hence no war.
However, 1793 was nearly seventy years before the country did blow up into warfare, and a huge number of events occurred between then and 1861 that cumulatively did place North and South into a state of irreversible conflict. One compromise after another was attempted during this period, with the intention of keeping the Union together, but each one either backfired, or other events occurred that exacerbated the sectional divide instead of ameliorating it. To mention just one such event, the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 added an enormous territory to the United States, including territory where slavery was already in practice and additional areas to which the slavery could be extended. At the time the Constitution was ratified nearly fifteen years before this, few people could have anticipated the US would so quickly be expanded this way. But once expansion became a reality, and was furthered with the land taken from Mexico in the 1840s, the slavery issue became even more inflammatory and impossible to resolve.
In my view, given the conditions that existed by the year 1815 when the War of 1812 was concluded, it would have been highly improbable for the sectional conflict to be defused by compromises of any kind. Something had to happen sooner or later, especially when one considers that the US, even at the time independence was secured in 1783, was already a huge geographic area stretching from Canada to Florida and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. It had taken centuries for the geographically smaller Western European countries of Britain, France, and Spain to achieve territorial stability and unity. At the time the US was created, Germany and Italy had still not achieved unification and were not to accomplish this until 1870. That a central government could maintain its authority over the already vast territory of the US as it was in 1789, without eventual sectional warfare breaking out at some point in time, would have been nearly impossible.

Should Texas provide a $5000 pay raise for full-time classroom teachers?

I would suggest the move to increase teacher pay in Texas is the result of the national trend of teachers becoming more vocal and politically active in voicing their concerns over the conditions of the public school system in their respective states. Texas undoubtedly would like to head off problems and address the issue. Certainly, the growing population and the teacher shortage is driving some of the proposals under consideration.
When determining a fair wage, several factors come into play, so let's reframe the question and look at the components that make a salary competitive. The average classroom teacher in Texas earns $53,335, according to the Texas Education Agency. Depending on where the teacher lives, salaries vary by as much as $10,000. Teachers are under contract to work for a minimum of 187 days, which equates to $285 per day on average. (The average worker in the United States works 260 days each year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
Where a teacher lives in Texas is critical to understanding one component of salary equity. The Cost of Living Index for the State of Texas is 101.8, according to Sperling’s Best Places and other comparable sources. A cost of living index above 100 is above the national average. If a teacher lives in a larger urban area, their cost of living would be higher and their average disposable income possibly lower. How do the wages for educators in Texas compare with other states?
The regions with the five highest teacher salaries in the United States are also the five with the highest Cost of Living Indexes, and the reverse is also true. The NEA National Ranking Report for 2018 states that “when the effects of price inflation are taken into account, the average classroom teacher salary has decreased by 4.5 percent from 2009‒10 to 2018‒19.” The Comptroller of the Texas Governments reports inflation in Texas for the past ten years has been at about 2%, while the nation has an experienced a 1.89% inflation rate. Arguably, inflation takes a toll on all salaries, and in this regard, teachers are no better or worse off than other employees.
The NEA uses starting salaries to rank states. The average starting salary for Texas classroom teachers is $41,484 as compared with the national average of $39,249, placing Texas in the middle of the pack for average starting salaries. Salary is, of course, one part of the picture. A component of compensation which many employees don’t think about is the contributions to benefits like health insurance, retirement, paid leave, and others that are outside of earnings. That comparison requires a considerable amount of data which is not available in one place or format.
How do teachers rank when compared to other college graduates with four-year degrees? Korn and Ferry, one of the largest consulting companies in the world, reports that in 2018, college graduates earned an average of $50,390 with a four-year degree. However, educators had the lowest-paid starting salaries on average, with software and other engineers having the highest.
Should Texas provide a $5000 pay raise for full-time classroom teachers? For Texas to remain competitive with surrounding states that are actively recruiting teachers, they will have to match already-approved pay raises by other state legislatures. Teachers are fairly mobile, and moving to a different state is not unusual. From the standpoint of keeping experienced teachers and developing a pool of candidates to replace the teachers leaving for other jobs, retirement, and other reasons, a higher starting wage might encourage more candidates to stay in Texas. Texas is also experiencing a population increase that will further strain the resources in education. There is a significant teacher shortage, and a higher wage would certainly help to recruit and retain teachers.
Ultimately the decision will come down as a political decision. Is the investment in education in the form of salary without considering other factors such as working conditions or benefits enough to alleviate the teacher shortage? Only a person living in Texas can decide what is in the best interest of the children and residents of Texas.

On characteristic of a social justice counselor is being a courageous risk-taker. How courageous do you consider yourself to be when faced with opposition from others? Do you think of yourself as a risk-taker? What can you do to prepare yourself to be a social justice advocate for your clients?

Most of the questions that you pose are personal and can only be answered based on your assessment of your own character, work, and educational experience, and goals.
A good counselor is empathetic and, when confronted with opposition, tries to find common ground or mediates in the interest of averting further conflict. Think about your past experiences, preferably your work experiences, how have you worked to seek common ground or to empathize with colleagues when they expressed views that strongly differed from your own? Are you a good listener? Are you capable of empathizing even with people who you do not like very much? When people disagree with you, are you capable of not taking this personally and still respecting all points of view, including your own? It takes courage—that is, the ability to do things that may be emotionally and intellectually threatening—to be someone who can respond positively to all of these questions.
Similarly, I would encourage you to think of risk-taking in a similar context. Are you someone who is willing to hear, read, or engage with views that strongly counter your own? There is risk involved in this because you may find yourself challenged in ways that make you uncomfortable and that may even force you to reassess the views that you have always held dear and true.
In regard to preparation for being a social-justice counselor, I would encourage you to consult the expertly written articles whose links I have attached below. Regardless of your ethnic or racial background, gender, sexual orientation, etc., being a good social justice counselor requires you to try to think of all of the ways in which you may be privileged and to think of the experiences that often go undiscussed when talking about problems with mental or emotional health.
Legal scholar Kimberle Crenshaw, whose landmark 1989 essay about intersectionality is also worth consulting, has gotten all of us to think more about the ways in which privilege works across racial and gender lines. More contemporary dialogues have introduced language about ableism, sizeism, and discrimination against non-binary or non-gender conforming people.
When preparing to be a social justice counselor, it helps to think of the people who might normally be excluded or overlooked in conversations about mental health, as well as communities that tend to talk about mental illness as though it were a source of shame. Unfortunately, many communities of color do not talk openly about mental illness. This, in addition to the poverty that is also more common in some of these groups, makes it much harder for struggling people to find the health care that they need.
Furthermore, lingering prejudices plague other groups. LGBTQ people must still resist the prejudice of homophobic and transphobic people who treat their orientations like mental illnesses. A good social justice counselor is aware of these prejudices and, even if you have not dealt with these experiences, you would be prepared to provide some solutions for how a struggling person from one of these groups could get the care that they need and feel deserving of it.

What is the symbolic meaning of Brownlow's name?

Have you ever wondered why Dickens, the master of symbolic names, chose "Brownlow" as the name for Oliver's benefactor? A case could be made that since Brownlow was a man with a deep sorrow--but one that he didn't allow to darken his whole being--Dickens made him "brown" and "low" to symbolize mild depression. Yet, when you think carefully about Dickens' themes of education and poor children's lives (see our Themes Insights), you find another reason for using the symbolic name Brownlow.
In 1769, a workhouse called "House of Industry" was built on Brownlow Hill in Liverpool to serve the needs of the poor and orphaned. While it has more than one notable spot in the history of its existence, a significantly notable event was the introduction of an experiment in overseeing health care for the workhouse population. In 1838 Brownlow House introduced into the workhouse infirmary twelve nurses trained at the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing. The experiment was successful enough that the practice of having nurses in workhouse infirmaries spread across England (Workhouses.Org.UK).
Recalling our query regarding the symbolic meaning of Mr. Brownlow's name, it is a strong possibility that Dickens chose the name for the connections to (1) a successful experiment and (2) the workhouse. The Brownlow Hill House of Industry and nursing experiment symbolize Mr. Brownlow's humanitarian experiment in rescuing, nursing then fostering the boy, Oliver, from the workhouse.
An interesting historical note is that in 1904, the Registrar General of England required that birth certificates could no longer indicate that a child was illegitimate. To accommodate this new regulation, local registrars registered illegitimate births to a local street address, which sometimes required the invention of a fictitious one. For example, the Liverpool workhouse used 144A Brownlow Hill when in need of a fictitious address. Was this mere convenience or a salute to Dickens' Mr. Brownlow, who was himself a salute to Liverpool's Brownlow Hill House of Industry?

The following data, recorded in days, represents the length of time to recovery for patients randomly treated with one of two medications to clear up severe bladder infections. Assume that the recovery times are normally distributed. Medication 1 = n = 13, x̄ = 17, s2 = 1.5, Medication 2 = n = 10, x̄ = 19, s2 = 1.8. (a) Is there a difference in the mean recovery times for the two medications? Test at the 5% level of significance, assuming equal variances. (b) Is the assumption of equal variances made in (a) valid? Test at the 5% level of significance.

You will need to use an independent t-test to see if there is a difference between the means. To perform an independent t-test, you need to find the t-statistic and compare it with the significance value (in this case, 5%).
The t-statistic is given by the following formula:
T = (x̄1 - x̄2) / sqrt[s^2 * (1/n1 + 1/n2)]
The only value we don't have from that formula is s^2, or the pooled sample variance. To find that value, we need to sum the squares of the s values, 1.5 and 1.8—so (1.5^2 + 1.8^2) = 5.49.
T = (17 - 19) / sqrt[5.49 * (1/13 + 1/10)] = (-2)/0.9855 = -2.029.
For the given degrees of freedom (21), the 5% confidence interval is at a t-value of +/- 1.720743. This value is outside of that range, and therefore it is statistically significant.

What does Frankl mean by the term "psychohygiene"? How does it affect a concentration camp prisoner’s experience and outcome? Describe examples in which Frankl helped his fellow prisoners via psychohygienic methods. Then describe examples in which others helped Frankl through similar methods.

Frankl's term "psychohygienic" is used to describe methods for promoting psychological health. It is the opposite of "psychopathology," or psychological sickness. Frankl discusses a number of ways to promote psychohygiene in the camps, but his chief example has to do with having a goal to live for. He describes how his days in the camp were spent concentrating on tiny details of daily life: how to get a piece of wire to serve as a shoestring, for example, or what to do if he should happen to find a bit of sausage in his soup ration that evening. When he finds himself growing angry or frustrated at having to think about such things, he escapes by imagining himself in the future, giving a lecture on prison psychology before a prestigious audience. In imagining his future self, he puts himself above the trivialities of camp life and is able to master his emotions.

Using the lines below, discuss how Shakespeare used figurative language to convey emotion: "'Tis torture, and not mercy: heaven is here, / Where Juliet lives; and every cat and dog / And little mouse, every unworthy thing, / Live here in heaven and may look on her; / But Romeo may not: more validity, / More honorable state, more courtship lives / In carrion-flies than Romeo: they may seize / On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand / And steal immortal blessing from her lips, / Who even in pure and vestal modesty, / Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin; / But Romeo may not; he is banished: / Flies may do this, but I from this must fly: / They are free men, but I am banished."

Shakespeare used a lot of figurative language in his popular tragedy Romeo and Juliet to amplify his writing and make it more interesting, captivating, and persuasive. In this particular example, he used two figures of speech—metaphor and hyperbole.
In act 3, scene 3, Romeo is banished from Verona as a punishment for the murder of Juliet’s first cousin and his rival—Tybalt. However, instead of being pleased that he wasn’t punished with death, Romeo feels sad and miserable, because being banished means that he won’t be able to see Juliet ever again. He’s very emotional and even threatens to commit suicide some moments later. Thus, Shakespeare uses a metaphor to explain to the readers and the audience just how sad Romeo feels.
In his monologue, Romeo compares the city of Verona to heaven, because his pure, beautiful, and virtuous Juliet lives there; he says that every creature will be able to see her but him. This is devastating to him, and he says that whatever place he decides to go will be the equivalent of hell, because his Juliet won't be beside him. These comparisons are an example of hyperbole as well.

Is SCOTUS' power of judicial review a good thing or not?

The U.S. Supreme Court self-assumed the power of judicial review in the case of Marbury vs. Madison. Judicial review gives the Supreme Court, and the courts more generally, the authority to engage in "negative lawmaking." That is, they can effectively nullify laws by finding them unconstitutional.
Judicial review has usually, and almost universally, been seen as a good thing.
Following are two arguments, for and against, judicial review that may help inform your response to the assignment. Also included are several links to additional resources.

Democracy is protected by judicial review. The contemporary notion of the liberal democracy is defined not just by majoritarianism, but also by the presence of entrenched liberties enjoyed by the individual and law that is objectively and equally applied (also known as "the rule of law"). Without judicial review, the last two bulwarks of liberal democracy could be swept away by the power of the majority.


Democracy is undermined by judicial review. Writing in DISSENT Magazine, Mark Tushnet—a constitutional scholar at Harvard—notes that "judicial review stands in the way of self-government." In other words, by allowing the Supreme Court the power of judicial review, the ability of the majority to legislate on any subject and in any manner is restrained.

What kind of sales management, sales process, sales force structure and how it recruits and training salespeople for a direct selling company?

Direct selling companies go directly to the consumer, bypassing the traditional modes of distribution—manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer. In the past, products representing direct selling companies were either unavailable, limited in supply, or so unique that selling them in a retail environment was challenging. In the traditional direct selling companies, consumers would locate a representative of the product nearby and purchase directly. The organization structure would look something like a pyramid with the manufacturer forming the base, the sales manager or district sales manager in the middle, and a representative at the top of the pyramid. This personnel would most likely be employed by the organization. Employees typically are recruited from normal employment channels, with preference given to employees working for competitors, as they bring knowledge of the industry and a customer base. While direct sales organizations at one time employed a league of managers and administrative people to oversee the training and implementation of selling in the market, the internet has disrupted the traditional direct sales organization in two critical ways.
The first is that there is less need for employees. The new model employs contract or freelance workers, many part-time. The Direct Selling Association estimates that nearly ninety percent of the workers are part-time independent representatives. Eliminating compensated employees and hiring contract employees is very advantageous to direct selling organizations. For one, they can concentrate on product marketing and expanding the product distribution with little or no expense, as they are not responsible for employee salaries and benefits. Independent representatives are paid commissions or fees based on their sales. The district managers earn a commission on the number of people they recruit and on the sales of the product.
The second way the internet has changed direct sales is that for many products, a local representative is not needed. Consumers choose the products they want and order them directly from the source. The employees in these organizations are customer service and may work in a call center, more than likely sub-contracted by the primary distributor to handle sales inquiries and customer service. The shape of a direct selling organization that is primarily web-based is rectangular and flat. Product distribution and sales are automated or have very little interaction between actual employees of the company and consumers.
Many organizations have hybrid structures. For example, property and casualty insurers have both employees and representatives. All maintain web-based distribution for their products as an additional method to distribute insurance products. Both are needed because there is a consumer expectation of a certain level of human customer contact. You may purchase your car insurance from the web, but if you have a problem, you will go to the nearest local office to resolve issues. Hybrid organizations retain the traditional management functions of sales representatives, district sales managers, and other administration. They exist out of necessity, though not for lack of trying to find a way to reduce top-heavy administration.

Why did Voldemort want to kill Harry Potter?

In 1980, at the Hog’s Head Inn, Sybil Trelawney was being interviewed by Albus Dumbledore to become the new Divination professor at Hogwarts. During the interview, Sybil made a prophecy that, at the end of July, a child would be born that would have the power to vanquish the Dark Lord. Severus Snape overheard the conversation and immediately told Voldemort. True to Sybil’s words, two children of well-known wizarding families were indeed born by the end of July—Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.
It is unclear why exactly Voldemort decided to go after Harry, but many believe it was because of the fact that Harry was a half-blood as well, and Voldemort felt a stronger connection to him. On 31 October 1981, after Peter Pettigrew betrayed his friends and told the Dark Lord that the Potters live at Godric's Hollow, Voldemort went to the house and killed Lily and James Potter, who desperately tried to protect their son. Voldemort then tried to kill Harry as well, however, he failed because Lily’s love for her son was stronger than the killing curse. Thus, Voldemort only managed to scar Harry’s forehead, and unknowingly to both of them, transferred a bit of his soul into the boy, which made Harry a Horcrux and the only survivor of the killing curse in wizarding history.

In paragraph 2 of "Dust Tracks on a Road," what does the sentence, "The other children didn't count," suggest about the narrator?

This sentence actually occurs in the fifth paragraph of chapter 4. In this chapter, the author is describing her childhood, and specifically the notion (not uncommon to children) that the world seemed at the time to be a magical place, with her at its centre. She says that when she played outside, she thought that "the moon followed (her), whichever way (she) ran." She also says that the moon always "seemed so happy when (she) came out to play, that it ran shining and shouting after (her) like a pretty puppy dog."
The author then writes, "The other children didn't count." When trying to work out what this sentence might reveal about the author, it is important to remember that she is here describing what life seemed to be like from the perspective of her childhood self. She is not saying, as at first it might seem, that she didn't care about other children. Rather she is saying that, when she was a child, she would always imagine and assume that the world was organized so as to accommodate her. This may seem like a selfish, egocentric thought for an adult to have, but for a child it is quite normal and understandable.

How many characters are there in A Dog's Purpose?

There are several characters in the novel, and the main protagonist is the dog who is first named Toby and is reincarnated as Fella, Ellie, Bailey, Bear, and Buddy.
The dog seems to instantly love some of its owners, as is the case with Ethan Montgomery—a young boy who names the dog Bailey (and later Buddy) and loves him dearly. Through Ethan we meet his love interest Hannah and his former friend Todd.
Before that, the dog's owner was Senora (and Bobby and Carlos) who had way too many dogs and named him Toby. Here we meet Toby's dog family which consists of Mother, Sister, Fast, and Hungry.
Then we have Jacob—a depressed police officer who never got over his wife's death and ends up getting shot. He names the dog Ellie, and the hardworking and kind officer Maya is the one who takes care of Ellie after Jacob's death. Ellie becomes a part of the K-9 unit and meets four other dogs: Top Dog, Spike, Cammie, and Gypsy.
There's also Wendi, a lazy woman who doesn't really take good care of the dog which she names Bear. Wendi gives the dog to her parents, Lisa and Victor, who abandon Bear in the woods.

What is the meaning of Salvatore Quasimodo's poem "La terra impareggiabile"?

Salvatore Quasimodo's collection of poems titled "La terra impareggiabile" means "The Unparalleled Land." It is a reflection on a fictional land, which he calls unparalleled and beautiful. But, because of tragedy and its separation as an island, it is full of isolation. The overarching theme of this work, and many others by Quasimodo, is an attempt to reconnect with others and, more importantly, start a dialogue about what is going on in the world.
There are many evils and terrible disasters that are happening, and, in his time, many people were simply overlooking them. Quasimodo wanted to look at them critically and analyze what we were doing to the world, particularly in the 1950s, in light of the Cold War and the tensions between nations.

Is there a lesson in The Outsiders?

One could argue that the primary lessons in S. E. Hinton's classic novel The Outsiders are the importance of not judging others based on their appearance, background, or social status and that fighting is futile and useless. Throughout the story, Hinton sympathizes with the Greasers, who are lower-class troubled teenagers and delinquents. Despite their bad reputations, the Greasers consist of loving, considerate friends who are extremely loyal, selfless, and brave. Ponyboy narrates the story and is depicted as an intelligent, insightful teenager who resents the fact that he is marked lousy simply because he is a Greaser. Similarly, Pony unfairly judges Cherry Valance, who is portrayed as a caring, understanding Soc cheerleader. Despite their backgrounds and different classes, both characters are similar and discover that they are more alike than they are different. Fortunately, Pony and Cherry are able to look past their differences and become friends.
Hinton also illustrates the futility of violence. Randy Adderson refuses to participate in the rumble because it will not change anything between the Socs and Greasers, and even Pony mentions that fighting does not make any sense. Following the rumble, Pony suffers a serious injury, and Johnny Cade tells Dally that fighting is useless. These characters' comments and reactions to violence reveal Hinton's underlying message, which is that people have more in common than they think and fighting is useless.

In every-day use, what do we mean by "racial" or "ethnic" identity, and why is it important?

To answer this question, let's first parse out the differences between ethnicity and race.
Ethnicity is a word we use to signify a person's belonging to a cultural group that shares something in common (such as language, religion, cultural traditions, place of birth, race, familial ancestry, history, etc). An ethnic group is based around similarities across people. It is possible for two people to identify the same way racially and a different way ethnically. For example, one person might describe their race as "black" and their ethnicity as "African American." Another person might also describe their "race" as black but identify their ethnicity as "Afro-Portuguese."
Race is a social construct, not a biological fact. When we label someone as a certain race, we are usually using their physical appearance to categorize them in a certain way. That physical appearance is often reduced solely to skin color. While there is no biological basis for these categorizations, society has ascribed meaning to them; consequently, racism has resulted as a way of justifying treating some people differently than others. Stereotypes have become attached to certain racial groups, proliferating a dangerous hierarchy of racial inequality. For example, America's legacy of slavery—in which people were bought, sold, and treated as if they were nothing more than livestock—persists in both cultural memory and social structures in modern America.
Race and ethnicity are important terms to understand because various labels in these categories come with certain privileges and certain stigmas. To be white in America is to be protected by virtue of your skin color. To be black in America is to experience a variety of stigmas, including ascription of intelligence, criminality, wealth, and/or education level, among others. To be Asian in America today is to be thought of as a smart, hard-working, and quietly-obedient citizen, but to be Asian in America in the 1800s was to be illiterate, unable to assimilate, and generally undesirable. While the racial stereotypes associated with being Asian have shifted over time, it's important to remember that any stereotypes (even seemingly positive ones) are an automatic reduction of a person's worth or ability.
Racial and ethnic identity can make us feel included or excluded, privileged or disadvantaged, free or oppressed. It can open or close doors to us in terms of education, class status, career, and social connections. It can bestow and advantage or a handicap simply by virtue of the fact that we were born into a certain ethnic or racial group. Race and ethnicity are the ways with which humans organize and categorize themselves, broadening or limiting a person's opportunities according to their identity. Additionally, the ways we identify ourselves and others are deeply impactful on our understanding of ourselves and others, as well as the way in which we experience and are experienced by the world.

Ginsberg, Howl Bishop, "The Fish" Lowell, “Skunk Hour” Plath, "Daddy" In what ways are different poets more or less confessional than others in this lesson? What characteristics allow us to say, for example, Plath is more personal than Bishop? I am trying to rank the poets I read from least to most confessional.

First, you need to ask yourself, what makes a poet confessional?
A lot of times, a poet will write in a voice specific to the poem, not necessarily about themselves. That doesn't mean that the poem can't be intensely personal and confessional, though.
Confessional poetry expresses private experiences or emotions, something that hadn't really been explored so extensively before the twentieth century.
Ginsberg's poem "Howl" is confessional in its topics. There is a lot of content in this poem and a lot of confession. The poem is raw and honest and talks about drugs, sex, and death in a straightforward and powerful way. It doesn't include the word "I" very much, except in the last section, which makes it feel less personal, though the themes are personal and private.
"The Fish" is also a poem with an unusual topic. In some ways the poem is gross, since it talks about the sea-lice, the blood, and the fish's imminent death. However, it's also a victorious poem, as the speaker realizes that they've caught the fish that four others have attempted to catch. I believe the confession in this poem comes with the fish's release and the ideas that this image presents about freedom as a temporary thing.
In "Skunk Hour," the speaker is in search of love and lamenting that he is alone. Nearby, he can see cars likely occupied by lovers, and yet he is alone with a family of skunks. It's a deeply personal poem of sadness and loneliness, emphasized by the image of skunks as company (something usually very undesirable).
"Daddy" by Plath is filled with confessions, though it's hard to tell which confessions are real. I consider it the most personal of these four poems, as it is written from daughter to father, which typically symbolizes a very intimate relationship. There's a larger story as well, and lots of allusions to World War II, but the heart of the poem is the intensity of emotions in this father-daughter relationship.

What has the camera captured in "A Photograph"?

In Shirley Toulson's poem "A Photograph," the camera appears to have captured a moment shared by three girl cousins at the beach. They are on a vacation at the seaside, evidently. The older girl in the middle of the two younger ones is the mother of the speaker, and she is about twelve years old in the picture. The girls all "smile through their hair" at their uncle, the person taking the picture, and it seems as though they have been swimming. The photograph has captured the speaker's mother's "sweet face" as well as the sea, along with the girls' "transient feet." The girls could not stay little girls because we all have to grow up, though the sea has remained relatively unchanged in appearance.

What is a summary of Anselm and Gaunilo's argument?

The arguments of St. Anselm and of Gaunilo, two eleventh-century thinkers, are both ontological in character. Ontological arguments about the existence of God, based in premises ostensibly derived from a source that is different from observation, or put another way, from reason. By working through a sequence of logical steps, such arguments necessarily arrive at the conclusion that God exists.
St. Anselm of Canterbury, England, wrote in the Proslogion how he derived the existence of God by beginning with the concept of the greatest possible being. His reasoning was that if such a being fails to exist, then a greater being can be conceived. The flaw of the argument is that the premise is absurd: nothing can be greater than a being than which no greater can be conceived. Such a being does exist, which is God.
Gaunilo, a monk contemporary with Anselm, wrote a “Reply on Behalf of the Fool” in which raised several objections to Anselm's argument. He stated that this reasoning could not offer a reason for the Psalmist's fool to believe that that than which a greater cannot be thought actually exists. Famously, Gaunilo raised a countering argument intended which is parallel to Anselm's, and followed through with the idea that it generates an obviously absurd conclusion. Rather than consider “that than which a greater cannot be thought,” Gaunilo suggested substituting “island,” as in “that island than which a greater cannot be thought.” By substituting a concrete, observable entity, Gaunilo was able to prove logically that Anselm’s argument is fallacious.

How did the Roman code of laws develop, and what were some of its basic principles?

The basis of the Roman code of laws was the Twelve Tables, which was created around 450 B.C. during the era of the Roman Republic. Their aim was to set out the basic rights and obligations of the plebeians (people) and to protect them against abuses of power by a small, privileged group of patricians.
The Twelve Tables included laws about the practice of religion, ownership of property, debt, slavery and marriage/divorce, among others, and outlined punishments that would be given for such crimes as theft or practicing black magic.
Later Roman legal reforms, especially the Corpus Juris Civilis, established around 530 A.D. by the Byzantine emperor Justinian, introduced legal concepts that are still fundamental today, including the idea that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty, and would become the basis for many of the world’s legal systems after the Roman Empire fell. Its influence can be seen in the Latin legal terminology used today, such as habeas corpus, subpoena and pro bono.

(please cite evidences from the Code of Hammurabi to support thesis) Use evidence from the code of Hammurabi to analyze the socio-economic structure of early Babylonia. What sorts of economic activity and what social categories are attested in the code?

One aspect of early Babylonian society that emerges in Hammurabi's code is the way that it was characterized by class divisions. These divisions were enshrined in the legal systems established by Hammurabi's code. For example, law 202 stipulates that "...if any one strike the body of a man higher in rank than he, he shall receive sixty blows with an ox-whip in public." Additionally, the famous "eye for an eye" principle did not apply across classes. According to law 200, if "a man knock out the teeth of his equal, his teeth shall be knocked out." However, if he knocked out the teeth of a freed man, he was required only to pay a small fine.
Hammurabi's code also reveals a society that revolved around agriculture, and agricultural labor. Slaves were everywhere in the code, and there are many laws that governed the economic transactions upon which an agricultural society was based. There are laws governing renting oxen, for example, laws regulating dam and irrigation canal construction, and many other aspects of a river valley civilization.
Hammurabi's code also reveals gender distinctions. Women had, in short, fewer rights than men, and were to a large extent treated as property. Moreover, many laws governing inheritance indicate clearly that Hammurabi's society was a patriarchal one. That each household was meant to be governed by the father is established by law 195, which reads: "If a son strike his father, his hands shall be hewn off." These are just a few things that Hammurabi's code of laws reveals about early Babylonian society, which is one reason why these laws continue to be studied.

What parallels does this story share with "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" so far?

I am not sure where you are in Frankenstein, but both that novel and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" use a frame narrative. In other words, in both cases, the title characters tell their stories to a person they have never seen before. In the case of the Mariner, he relates his tale to a wedding guest. The guest is distressed that he can't get to the wedding festivities, but is nevertheless transfixed by the strange Mariner and compelled to listen to his story. In Frankenstein, Captain Robert Walton finds Victor Frankenstein half starved and floating on an ice floe in the Arctic. He too listens to a very strange saga, which he writes about in letters to his sister.
In both cases, too, the stories are about the suffering that is caused by each man—Victor and the Mariner—acting out of pride or arrogance. The Mariner violates the laws of God and man and brings down a curse when he arrogantly kills the albatross that saved his ship. Frankenstein, out of a sense of pride, violates God's law when he creates life out of inanimate body parts. He compounds the problem when he rejects his creation, who out of anguish at being unloved, kills the people closest to Victor. Both the Mariner and Victor live to regret what they have done.

What would be a reflection on Stephen Hawking's life?

Stephen Hawking was an English scientist, mathematician, theorist, physicist and cosmologist who is widely celebrated around the world for his genius intelligence, his wit, his wisdom, and his positive and optimistic nature. Hawking is famous for his incredible contributions to cosmology and quantum physics, and one of his most notable discoveries is the discovery that black holes emit heat, which is known in science as Hawking radiation. He also wrote several books in which he expressed his personal views and opinions on many subjects such as the existence of God (he was an atheist), the future of humanity, politics (he supported the Labour Party), artificial intelligence, aliens, the complexity of time and space, and many more subjects. He also appeared in various lectures, on television, on radio shows, and even in documentaries. In 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), which paralyzed him and limited his speech; thus, he used a speech-generating device to communicate with people.
Despite the challenges that came with the disease, Hawking lived a full and happy life with his family. He died last year, at the age of 76, leaving behind an invaluable legacy. Shortly after his passing, Hawking's 1966 doctoral thesis “Properties of expanding universes” was published online, and millions of people rushed to read it, eager to learn more from the late scientist.

Why won't the U.S take clear action against the Saudi government after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?

Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist critical of the Saudi regime, is believed to have been murdered recently in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul by agents of the Saudi government. Although the Trump administration has expressed concerns over Khashoggi's murder, it has stopped short of taking concerted action against the Saudis.
There a number of reasons for this. For one thing, Saudi Arabia is a key strategic ally of the United States and has been for many years. The Saudi regime provides valuable counter-terrorism intelligence to the CIA, which is used to prevent potential terrorist attacks on American soil. Supporters of the current relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia argue that such close ties are essential to help prevent "another 9/11."
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is good for American business, or, to be more precise, American defense contractors. Last year, President Trump signed a lucrative deal with the Saudis to supply them with $350 billion worth of defense equipment over the next decade, as well as an immediate purchase of arms worth an additional $110 billion. The previous Obama administration had also signed a lucrative defense contract with the Saudis, but on a much smaller scale. Also, some parts of that deal were blocked on human rights grounds after the Saudis carried out airstrikes against civilians in Yemen as part of that country's long-standing civil war.
The Trump administration's willingness to overlook human rights abuses by the Saudi regime in concluding its record arms deal set the tone for how it would subsequently handle the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. His killing would be condemned, but it would not be allowed to get in the way of US–Saudi relations.
Finally, there's the little matter of oil. Saudi Arabia has the second largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world. Among other things, this gives the Saudis enormous leverage when it comes to the international price of oil. Any disruption of US–Saudi relations would most likely lead to a sharp increase in the price of oil, thus potentially damaging both the American economy and the international economy as a whole.
Despite increased domestic energy production due to the development of shale oil and gas, the United States still imports hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil a day from Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are the second biggest suppliers of oil to the United States, and the Trump Administration clearly figures that if those supplies are to continue to flow, then it wouldn't be a good idea to press the Saudis too hard on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

What is gerrymandering and how has it influenced elections?

To “gerrymander,” pronounced with a soft g, is a verb derived from the surname of Elbridge Gerry, pronounced with a hard g. While he served as governor of Massachusetts, Gerry’s administration in 1812 passed a law that revised the state’s senatorial districts. The new boundaries ensured disproportionate representation of voters for one party, virtually guaranteeing that its candidates would be elected. The shape of the new districts was compared to that of a salamander, and thus the word "salamander" was combined with his name (a portmanteau coinage) to produce "gerrymander."
The term “gerrymandering” has thenceforth been applied in the United States to the process of redrawing any kind of political district boundaries. One negative effect of this practice is that the resulting size and composition of districts is profoundly unequal. As this type of selective redistricting tends to favor one candidate within a specific district, often according to race as well as political party, it effectively discriminates against minority candidates. In extreme situations, when a number of individual districts are combined throughout a state, it can mean that a candidate with the most votes overall still loses, because the majority takes each individual district. On the other hand, when a district is drawn to include primarily people who constitute minorities of nearby districts, it can be a means of guaranteeing one representative for that group.

What effect did the baby boom have on Canadian society (economy, social change, etc.)?

Like the United States, Canada experienced a sharp uptick in births in the aftermath of the Great Depression and Second World War. This so-called "baby boom" had a number of causes, but the most significant was the rapid and widespread economic expansion in Canada following the lean years of the Great Depression and the sacrifices made during World War II. The effect was, quite simply, that the biggest generation in Canada's history emerged. This created increased demand for education, healthcare, and the job market, all of which had to expand to meet this demand. During the 1960s, the baby boom generation began to reach adulthood, and because they were better educated and more affluent on average than their parents, they held different politics and beliefs about society. A counterculture movement very similar to that in the United States thus emerged on Canadian college campuses. In the long term, the effects of the Canadian baby boom are not fully realized, but as more and more Canadians of this generation get older and reach retirement age, they force the nation's healthcare system and other social safety nets to adjust.

How was the use of the scientific method different from previous methods of investigating the natural world?

Before 1500, truth about the natural world was was derived from ancient Greek or Roman sources. The Bible was also the accepted authority in Europe, and challenging it was dangerous.
By examining changes in the field of astronomy, we are able to understand how the scientific method came to challenge ancient and Biblical sources. The geocentric theory placed Earth at the center of the universe. This idea came from Aristotle and was expanded by Ptolemy. Christians embraced this view because they thought Earth was a special place made by God. In 1543, the publication of Nicolas Copernicus's findings disputed these long-held assumptions. Copernicus, a Polish cleric and astronomer, based his book on more than 25 years of careful observation of planetary movements. By 1610, Galileo, an Italian scientist, had confirmed Copernicus's theories by using a telescope. Galileo was put under house arrest by the Church, and his experience showed why challenging orthodox views was hazardous.
The scientific method came to be applied to all fields of study. It involved careful observation and thorough testing of ideas. Hypotheses are tested by experiments that produce data. Two 17th-century intellectuals, Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes, advanced what became known as the scientific method. The role of established religion in Western society was diminished, and secular thought became much more widespread.

Why does a memory change over our lifetime?

It truly is interesting that we can be certain we remember things correctly while actually being completely wrong. There have been studies that show that memories change because they become malleable each time we re-remember them. When we first remember something, synaptic changes known as "consolidation" occur in the brain. When we revisit a memory, that memory has to be reconsolidated once again in our brains. When that happens, the memory becomes vulnerable to new information that was not part of the original memory. Then, when we recall the memory again, it may have elements in it that were introduced from the previous recollection.
This happens because our memories are not simple, straightforward records of our experiences. Instead, it's more like a game of telephone that you're playing within your own brain. Each time a memory is recalled, it can change just a little, and over time, it might become increasingly unreliable.

Was Jonathan right when he said, "Don't you think there might be other flocks, other Fletchers, that need an instructor more than this one, that's on its way towards the light?" Why or why not?

The novella Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach tells the story of a seagull who is dissatisfied with his normal everyday life of squabbling over food. Instead, he decides to apply himself to perfecting the art of flying. Because he does not conform, he is expelled from the flock. He encounters two gulls who invite him to a higher plane of existence. Through the wise gull Chiang, he learns of new possibilities of freedom and speed while flying. Ultimately, however, Jonathan becomes dissatisfied with his life on this higher plane and determines to return to Earth to teach other gulls what he has learned. Fletcher is Jonathan's first student.
After Jonathan has spent time teaching Fletcher and other students, at the end of the book, he says to Fletcher, "Don't you think that there might be other flocks, other Fletchers, that need an instructor more than this one, that's on its way towards the light?" In saying this, Jonathan is telling Fletcher that, in his opinion, Fletcher doesn't need his help anymore. He thinks that in this flock, Fletcher can take over the instruction of the other gulls while Jonathan moves on to help other flocks.
To decide whether Jonathan is right in saying this, consider what happens after Jonathan disappears. As Jonathan is bidding him farewell, Fletcher is upset. However, as soon as Jonathan is gone, Fletcher immediately begins to confidently train other gulls. From this, we can discern that Jonathan was right, and it is safe for him to leave the trainees in Fletcher's care.

Define Bacon's Rebellion.

Bacon's Rebellion arose out of a bitter personal and political clash between Nathaniel Bacon and the Governor of Virginia, William Berkeley. Berkeley wanted to keep the peace between the European settlers and local Native Americans. One of the ways he attempted to do this was by restricting trade with indigenous tribes to a select few colonists. The thinking behind the policy was that less trade with the Native Americans would involve less exploitation of their resources, thus minimizing any potential conflict.
This proved to be a very unpopular measure, with Berkeley's opponents accusing him of favoritism. Like many other settlers, Bacon found that his livelihood was threatened by the new trade restrictions, especially those restrictions on the lucrative fur trade. There was also widespread anger at the unwillingness of the Governor to protect settlers against regular attacks by local tribes and his prohibitions against further westward expansion.
The ensuing rebellion by Bacon and his men erupted into a full-scale conflict with the colonial authorities. Initially, the rebels had the upper hand, and during the fighting they burned Jamestown to the ground, sending Berkeley and the colony's administrators packing. But not before they presented the colonial government with a Declaration of the People of Virginia, which a later generation of Americans would see as a forerunner of the Declaration of Independence. Indeed, Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration, regarded Bacon as a true patriot whose rebellion was a prelude to the American revolt against the British almost exactly a century later.
Despite initial setbacks, Berkeley and his men regrouped, and after Bacon suddenly passed away, they began to gain control of the situation. In the wake of Bacon's death, many of his supporters and financial backers melted away and so Governor Berkeley was finally able to reestablish order. As a stern warning to anyone else who might be thinking of staging a similar uprising in future, Berkeley had the ringleaders of the rebellion hanged. Back in England, it is said that King Charles II criticized Berkeley for his heavy-handedness in dealing with the rebellion. Whether this is a true story or not, it is an indisputable fact that Berkeley was recalled to London, where he died less than a year later.

What are three main settings from The Catcher in the Rye with supporting quotations?

Holden Caulfield, the first-person narrator and protagonist of The Catcher in the Rye, is living in Southern California, in an unspecified institution, probably a private hospital or retreat, while he recalls the events that led up to his moving there. In that regard, the institution can be considered one of the novel’s settings. On page 1, Holden refers to the "crumby place" that "isn’t too far . . . [from] Hollywood" where his brother lives; he is staying there in order to "take it easy" after the "madman stuff" that had happened around Christmas. On the novel’s last page, he mentions a "psychoanalyst."
Within Holden’s narrative, one main setting is the prep school from which he has just been expelled as the novel begins. On page 2, he names Pencey Prep, which is in Agerstown, Pennsylvania.
Several other settings are located within Manhattan, the borough of New York City where Holden lives with his family. In New York, there several settings than can be considered primary, including the Caulfield family’s apartment, where Holden converses with his sister, Phoebe; a hotel, where he has an encounter with a prostitute and a pimp; the American Museum of Natural History; and the swings in Central Park.
When Holden arrives in Manhattan in chapter 9, he asks the driver to take him to the Edmont Hotel, where he assigned a “very crumby room.” In chapter 16, Holden visits Central Park, looking for Phoebe. Not finding her there, he heads for the museum but then decides not to enter. Holden returns to the park in chapter 20, visiting the lake in search of ducks, but finds it "partly frozen" and without ducks. At the chapter’s end, he finally goes home; the next chapter is set at his house. Parts of chapter 25 take place in the museum and the park, especially the carousel.

Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, takes place over three days, and the action of the story takes place at Pencey Prep School and on the streets of New York. Hence, these two places are key components of the physical setting, but the third, the historical setting, is of equal significance to the story, as setting consists of both time and place. The story is set in the 1950s, a time when there was a push to adopt mainstream ideals, to obtain an education, pursue a career, and adopt the attitudes and values of a nation of consumers. Holden however, is a non-conformist. He rebels from society, and he bucks its traditions and expectations.
Pencey Prep demands conformity, and because Holden Caulfield shuns it, he refuses to play by the rules. He gets kicked out of school for failing his classes, although it is Holden’s desire to get kicked out. He hates everything the school stands for, and so he finds most everything about it annoying. Holden believes he can escape these things that he hates by leaving the school and going to a different environment. On the streets of New York, however, he encounters more things he dislikes, and for much the same reasons, and he continues his attempt to escape these things by moving from place to place within New York City. What he finds is that every place is the same because he cannot escape his feelings. One of the novel’s most famous quotes seems to capture this idea.

"What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of good-by. I mean I’ve left schools and places I didn’t even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don’t care if it’s a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you don’t you feel even worse” (4).

Interpret section 25 of Song of Myself by Walt Whitman.

Whitman analyzes the power of the eyes and the other senses and their ability to behold the majesty of the universe—in this case, the mesmerizing and hypnotic rise of the sun. This example goes to show that Whitman believes that nature is a representation of the divine and the spiritual, which has an enormous impact on the self. Everything that is seen or perceived in the world is internalized in the self in some way.
He also comments on the necessity of words to articulate the vast and powerful thoughts he has about the things he perceives through his senses. He states, however, that often words are not sufficient to provide true access to the understandings and epiphanies he or any individual contains within their mind. The self is a universe of its own—fed by the beauty of nature but too vast and complex to be understood only through the use of language.

Who is Joseph? What job does he do?

Joseph is an older man who is employed by the residents at Wuthering Heights as a servant. The family gives him much freedom, and often he chooses not to work very hard at all, like in this scene found in chapter 2:

"What are ye for?" he shouted. "T' maister's down i' t' fowld. Go round by th' end o' t' laith, if ye went to spake to him."
"Is there nobody inside to open the door?" I hallooed, responsively.
"There's nobbut t' missis; and shoo'll not oppen 't an ye mak' yer flaysome dins till neeght."
"Why? Cannot you tell her whom I am, eh, Joseph?"
"Nor-ne me! I'll hae no hend wi't," muttered the head, vanishing.

No matter who is in charge at Wuthering Heights, Joseph is always teetering in the background with some abrasive comment or action. He uses religion to pass harsh judgements, never using it to show mercy or kindness. (He seemingly missed those verses in the Bible, as well as the ones about avoiding judging others.) He is allowed to influence the decisions of Mr. Earnshaw and convinces him to discipline his children with violence and cruelty. When Heathcliff flees Wuthering Heights in the midst of a storm, Joseph thinks that God is sending due judgement on the family.
If Joseph has a redeeming personality trait, it would have to be his faithfulness to the family, as he serves them for many years. And he does seem to show a different toleration or kindness for Hareton. Overall, however, he is pretty hard to tolerate.

Why does evaporation causes cooling?

Evaporation of a liquid from a surface causes a cooling effect.
Evaporation involves the phase change of the substance from the liquid to a gaseous phase. An example is that of the liquid water converting to water vapors. Also, note that the molecules in the gaseous phase have higher kinetic energy as compared to the molecules in the liquid phase.
For the phase change, the molecules of the substance (in the liquid phase) must gain additional energy to raise their kinetic energy levels. This energy is obtained in the form of heat from the surroundings. Once the phase changes, the substance evaporates accompanied by a reduction in the heat levels of the surroundings. This is what causes the cooling effect.
The most common example is the cooling effect generated by perspiration from our body. Note that evaporation of some liquids may result in a better cooling effect than that of water. Evaporation of alcohol (say, rubbing alcohol or isopropanol) has a faster cooling effect because of the volatile nature of the alcohols.
Hope this helps.

In Oliver Twist, who took care of Oliver when he was shot?

Readers should begin looking for this answer in chapter 22. This is the chapter that sees Sikes forcing Oliver to help with a robbery. Oliver figures that he can stop the robbery by somehow waking the family. Unfortunately for Oliver, this doesn't work. Oliver is shot, and Sikes is forced to pull Oliver back out of the house and to run off with him.
Unfortunately for readers, the next chapter doesn't tell us what happened. Toby recounts the events to Fagin at the end of chapter 25, and readers realize that Sikes just left Oliver in a ditch. Readers then have to wait until chapter 28 to read about Oliver. Oliver is in great pain, but he manages to get himself back to the house he was just shot in. He knocks on the door, and Mr. Giles carries Oliver to a bed.

"Not now, for the world," replied the young lady. "Poor fellow! Oh! treat him kindly, Giles for my sake!"
The old servant looked up at the speaker, as she turned away, with a glance as proud and admiring as if she had been his own child. Then, bending over Oliver, he helped to carry him upstairs, with the care and solicitude of a woman.

The next chapter then makes it clear that Mrs. Maylie and Rose tended to Oliver for the remainder of the night. A doctor does show up the next morning, but readers are not told specifics about whether or not he takes any action beyond what the two women have already done.

At length he returned; and in reply to an anxious inquiry after his patient; looked very mysterious, and closed the door, carefully.
"This is a very extraordinary thing, Mrs. Maylie," said the doctor, standing with his back to the door, as if to keep it shut.
"He is not in danger, I hope?" said the old lady.
"Why, that would not be an extraordinary thing, under the circumstances," replied the doctor; "though I don't think he is."

Fagin forces Oliver to help the gang with a burglary. Sikes pushes Oliver through a small window and tells him to unlock the door. Once inside, however, Oliver tries to alert the family—only to be noticed by two employees of the house. Oliver is subsequently shot in the men's defense of the house. Sikes carries Oliver away from the house, but then abandons him in a ditch.
Oliver wakes up the next morning weak from his injury. He walks forward in a daze, and he ends up at the same house the gang tried to rob. He knocks on the door, and the women of the house order the robber to be brought upstairs and tended to. Mrs. Maylie and her niece Miss Rose Maylie keep Oliver in their home and tend to him, along with the help of Dr. Losborne, who convinces others in the house that Oliver is innocent.

The key error of King Lear's kingship is that he does nor respect the necessary connection between power and authority—true or false?

I would say this is true.
Lear's problem (or at least, one of his problems) is that he wants to give up the "business" of being king while also keeping his power to have everyone bow to his every whim. He thinks even after he abdicates to his two older daughters he will still have the power to make others do as he pleases, not realizing that by giving up the authority of his political station, he is also forfeiting his power. He wants the best of both worlds and instead ends up receiving nothing but contempt and grief.
Lear has been a poor father and this backfires on him when he no longer has royal authority over his children. They are able to treat him poorly once he gives up his powers and by being brought low, Lear comes to a better understanding of how he has failed as a father and as a king.

In The Tempest, who is the rightful owner of the island?

That's a very good question! The short answer is: it's complicated. Prospero, like the proto-imperialist he is, thinks the island belongs to him. After all, he was the one who conquered the place, established some measure of law and order, and for good measure drove off the evil witch Sycorax, thus freeing Ariel from his captivity inside a tree. If the island doesn't belong to Prospero, then to whom does it belong?
Caliban's answer would be "me." Caliban resents the fact that Prospero's taken over his island home and has proceeded to treat him like a slave. Over time, he becomes more and more resentful of his master, to the extent that he urges two members of the shipwrecked party—Stefano and Trinculo—to kill Prospero, which Caliban believes will restore him to his rightful position on the island.
Ultimately, Prospero seems to realize that the island doesn't really belong to him after all. This doesn't necessarily mean that he's become convinced of the justness of Caliban's cause, it's just that he now has a chance to return to his beloved Milan, where he will once more reign as Duke. For now, however, it seems that ownership of the island will pass to Caliban. At least, that is, until the next deposed ruler appears.

What is some of Ashley Peterson's dialogue in Tell Me Your Dreams?

Sidney Sheldon uses dialogue extensively in Tell Me Your Dreams. Ashley Peterson, the novel’s protagonist, becomes concerned that she is being stalked. The early part of the novel uses extensive flashbacks that reveal her earlier relationship with a high school boyfriend, Jim Cleary, and her father’s disapproval. When she learns that her father has decided they are moving to England, she has a scene with Jim, who asks the sobbing girl,

“What is it? What’s happened?”
“My—my father told me he’s taking me away to London. He’s registered me in—in a college there.”
Jim Cleary looked stunned. “This is because of us, isn’t it?”
Ashley nodded, miserable.
“When do you leave?”
“Tomorrow.”

He suggests that they run away together, taking the train from Pennsylvania to Chicago, and get married. She sneaks out of her house that night and waits for him at the train station, but he never shows up. She moves to London.
In the current era, Ashley realizes that she needs further information about the subject, she goes to a bookstore. (The novel takes place in the pre-internet era). In response to the clerk’s questions, Ashley becomes embarrassed and tries to mask her purpose.

“Yes. I–Do you have a book about stalkers?”
He was looking at her strangely. “Stalkers?”
Ashley felt like an idiot. She said quickly, “Yes—I also want a book on gardening and—and—animals of Africa.”

What occupations could benefit from having a background in analyzing art?

As the workforce is growing in its appreciation of intersectionality, there are many occupations that benefit from having a background in analyzing art.
Initially, occupations that come to mind are those within the museum field. Such as curators, art programming and education, as well as conservationists; those who restore and preserve professional artistic works.
Aside from roles in museum institutions there are a variety of roles that require a well trained eye, one that is able to create meaningful visual connections. This could include roles in interior design, and various forms of architecture; including interior architecture as well as outdoor/public design.
In a world where the use of technology is increasing, I find that many people with art backgrounds have success in roles involving graphic design, advertising, marketing, social media, and art direction; such as brand representatives for an online platform. These roles require an understanding of the creative process and histories, generally requiring studies and experience in art focused university studies.
A background in art analyzation gives one the tools to analyze and critically understand visual elements that are prominent influences in our contemporary culture. Developing an analytical and critical mindset is important in most career roles, therefore it can be applied to a plurality of positions.

In any class you take, no matter what the topic or level, you will come away with both non-transferable and transferable skills. In no field is this more true than in the arts. Take a course in 19th century European art history, for example, and you’ll come away knowing the significance of Manet in modern art, be able to identify the works of the Impressionists from those of the Expressionists, and maybe pick up some critical, analytical skills for interpreting the meaning of a painting and articulating your feelings and opinions about it.
The first two skills are not easily transferable outside the fields of art and art history. As a tour guide, for example, you could put these skills to use in an art gallery but not on a city tour. The third is a transferable skill, and it is the most useful thing anyone can get out of studying art. This skill is called visual literacy. If you’re a tour guide and you know how to analyze and interpret visual images, you can use this skill equally in reading a painting as you can in appreciating a scenic view or the architecture of a building.
Visual literacy skills can be applied in a broad set of professions, often in ways that are not immediately apparent:
Law enforcement and criminal justice: be able to recognize important details in a crime scene, describe details about evidence from a photograph, and to understand the relationship between the part and the whole.
Advertising and marketing: make compelling arguments by transforming raw data into visual charts and diagrams.
Engineering and architecture: represent systems and structures in visual diagrams and be able to read and examine complex ideas in the forms of plans and schematics.
Medicine: identify details in a patient’s symptoms to be able to diagnose illness. Being able to understand what you’re seeing in a cell on a slide under a microscope is a transferable skill that one borrows from learning how to analyze art.
Graduate with a degree in art history, fine art, or studio art, and you will be qualified to work in an arts-related profession like museum science (curation and conservation), library science (visual resources management, special collections and digital collections), art publication and periodicals (i.e. "Art Forum"), and talent management.
But taking a single class in art history or visual culture will equip you with some basic skills that can be applied in many real-world settings. You'll be able to identify important visual details, understand and articulate the significance of a detail in its context, and interpret the meaning of visual images.

Art is more than a visual medium. It involves all of our senses. When we analyze art, we are taking into account all that the artwork is: Does it have a smell; Does it look soft or hard; Does it feel scratchy; What does it taste like (yes, art can be food!)?
And through these senses, a thoughtful and careful professional in art analyzing can make out the subtle subconscious that is at play. This is the basis for Art Therapy.
The field of Art Therapy was developed in the mid-twentieth century as modern psychology was rounding into form. It was meant to help patients coming back from WWII with (what we now call) PTSD. This was a revolutionary form of treatment and it is in wide use today for many different emotional needs.
The training to become an art therapist must involve analyzing art on a deeper level than most untrained audiences can or will do in a museum. It is an intimate connection between the therapist and the patient with the art serving as a vehicle of attachment between the two. Analyzing art with delicacy and compassion are cornerstones to being a good art therapist.

When one chooses to study art, particularly from a critical or analytical vantage point, a larger door opens into a multitude of professional possibilities. The necessary skills of having keen perception coupled with an ability to assess a visual rendering, naturally lend themselves to many areas.
Upon receiving an art education, the natural inclination is to seek employment within the art world. These positions include things like museum curatorship, restoration and repair, art therapy, fine art handling and teaching.
It is the fields outside of the immediate art world that are in need of the specialized skill set that analytical art historians possess. These include critical thinking, attention to detail, razor sharp research abilities, and creative problem solving in a visual way. Areas such as marketing and advertising require strategic thinking to tell a specific story, a fundamental skill for the analytical art historian/theorist mind. There are several governmental jobs including assisting Law Enforcement that require the assistance of analysts who can decipher the specific source material at hand. Not all jobs need be such high profile as the aforementioned, yet necessary all the same. Project Managers, Event Planners, Interior Designers, Florists, and Merchandisers all possess a strong understanding of organization and composition.
The prevailing thought that a degree in Art History is limiting and ignores the very building blocks obtained through obtaining the degree. One may be able to correctly identify an obscure Rembrandt painting, and deftly navigate a power- point presentation like no other.
As the late educator and President of the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching one stated " Art helps us see connections and brings a more coherent meaning to our world."

Because visual matters play such a central role in our lives, many occupations would benefit from the study of art. Obvious professions such as an architect and fashion designer generally require art and art history studies as part of their preparation.
Many computer related jobs are heavily visually oriented. Web design depends on a good sense of 2D design. Numerous aspects of game design are inherently visual, especially the characters and settings.
Many aspects of film and video production, as well as theater, similarly would utilize art-related skills and appreciation.
Any type of job that utilizes 3 dimensional spatial orientation, such as urban transportation system design, would be helped by an art background. Garden design and landscape design similarly depend on having people with well trained eyes.

There are many occupations involved in the arts which can emphasize art analysis in various ways. First, it is important to know which art discipline you want to study and work with. If you are interested in analyzing the visual arts, there are a number of positions within museums, galleries, universities, government agencies, auction houses, and insurance companies that require a familiarity with art objects. Some of these positions, such as a museum curator, professor, and auction house appraiser require PhD's in Art History whereas fields like conservation require the completion of a specialized program.
Within dance, music, and theater, most of the job opportunities are for artists, directors, designers, and production. Most theorists (full-time analyzers) are professors or artists who teach at a conservatory. While it may seem as though there are fewer positions for non-artists in these artistic disciplines, there are options outside of the art field. For example, art analysis skills are used by critics, reviewers, and column writers at magazines, news organizations, and blogs.
If you are unsure about where to begin looking for a position, you can look for art foundation websites such as this page, https://www.nyfa.org/jobs , for the New York Foundation for the Arts.

There are several occupations that could benefit or even thrive from having an art background. Knowledge of the arts and the history of them could tremendously help a writer. The creative thinking that both a writer and an artist possess can work to benefit a writer in their career. For example, a writer who wishes to write art reviews would be much better off if they had a background and knowledge in art.
Additionally, design occupations, such as an interior or architectural designer, can benefit from having a background in art. Even though there are varying types of art, it can be beneficial to understand more forms than just the medium that a designer is drawn to. A designer can pull inspiration from their background in art and use it to their advantage in their design career.

The first occupation that comes to mind as being one that would benefit from the background of analyzing art is a museum curator. A museum curator would benefit from having knowledge about artistic works because it would help him or her to know which pieces of art were valuable and how much they were worth. It would also help the curator explain the significance of each individual piece of art to the visitors of the museum.
Another occupation would be that of a an appraiser. An appraiser determines the value of a work of art. Having background knowledge in the analyzation of art would help the appraiser to decide on a monetary value for a piece by determining what time period the piece comes from, who created it, and if the artwork is real or fraudulent.

Discuss two consequences of globalization for the United States. How does the use of technology relate to poverty on a global scale?

One consequence of globalization is expanding international markets for the products of a specific country. This can include 1) making the complete products in the sending country or 2) exporting the technology and having the products made in the receiving country. For the United States, this is often nick-named "Coca-colonialism."
Another consequence for a large, highly-developed country like the United States is mimicry. The plus-side of making distinctive, expensive products like iPhones is the high demand they stimulate overseas. The downside is that they are not too difficult to copy. The fakes made overseas cut into the original companies' sales and profits.
Globalization can exacerbate poverty in the receiving country in several ways. The employees who travel to the receiving country and company elites enjoy a much higher standard of living. Even relatively low-level workers at these multinational companies earn much higher wages than most. These inflated wages push up the cost of living, which adversely affects the vast majority who do not work for those companies.
Technology plays a huge role in widening the gap. The problem is not just that high-tech products are aggressively marketed; these technologies become increasingly necessary to success in business and education. The widening gap between those who have access to updated technology and those who do not tends to disproportionately impact those who are already disadvantaged and to expand the chasm as new products keep coming out.
