On the Waterfront details the story of a reluctant hero, Terry Malloy, as he grapples with his conscience and ultimately attains redemption through an act of unbridled resistance against the corrupt waterfront union. As Terry comes to terms with his burgeoning ethical imperatives, the influences of others, especially that of Edie and Father Barry are of paramount importance. However, it is Edie Doyle, who through her unrelenting quest to discover “who is responsible for Joey”, provides the moral backbone for Terry, an inarticulate lowly longshoreman who once believed that his philosophy of life was to “do it to them before they do it to you”. Through Edie’s love and moral guidance, Terry is able to transform into a person who acts with moral conviction, able to overthrow the union mob and garner the respect of the other longshoremen.…
Monoculture is mainly used in industrialized agriculture with many inputs of fossil fuels and chemicals to produce large amounts of a single crop. Polyculture is often locally based, and may be found in a subsistence agriculture practice that uses human and animal energy to produce smaller amounts of many different crops. Polyculture and working with nature can provide many and more sustainable solutions to our current challenges, and that in diversifying the food economy we will be much more resilient to future shocks. In doing so we can also reduce our…
Center stage in Kaye Gibbons’ inspiring bildungsroman, Ellen Foster, is the spunky heroine Ellen Foster. At the start of the novel, Ellen is a fiery nine-year old girl. Her whole life, especially the three years depicted in Ellen Foster, Ellen is exposed to death, neglect, hunger and emotional and physical abuse. Despite the atrocities surrounding her, Ellen asks for nothing more than to find a “new mama” to love her. She avoids facing the harsh reality of strangers and her own family’s cruelty towards her by using different forms of escapism. Thrice Ellen is exposed to death (Gibbons 27). Each time, Ellen has a conversation with a magician to cope with the trauma (Gibbons 22-145). Many times Ellen’s actions and words cause it to be difficult to tell that she is still a child. However, in order to distract herself, Ellen will play meaningful games (Gibbons 26). These games become a fulcrum for Ellen’s inner child to express itself. Frequently, Ellen will lapse into a daydream (Gibbons 67). Usually, these daydreams are meant to protect herself from the harsh reality around her. Ellen Foster’s unique use of escapism resounds as the theme of Kaye Gibbon’s Ellen Foster.…

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) was enacted in 1986 as a part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. EMTALA was enacted to prevent hospitals with Emergency Departments from refusing to treat or transferring patients with emergency medical conditions (EMC) due to an inability to pay for their services. This act also applies to satellite locations whom advertise titles such as “Immediate Care” or “Urgent Care,” and all other facilities where one-third of their patient intake are walk-ins. Several rules and regulations to this act have been established and it has become a very serious piece of legislation and health care regulation, as it is enforced by several government entities. Originally known as the “anti-dumping act,” EMTALA has saved the accreditation of health care today as it was quickly in transformation to becoming an unreliable, acquisitive practice, rather than a dependable source of care.…

The next major player in the development of trait theory was Fiske (1949). Fiske’s factor analysis of peer, self and psychologist ratings of 128 clinical trainees rated on 22 scales of surface behaviour was found to reveal four major factors: Social Adaptability, Emotional Control, Conformity, and Inquiring Intellect. Following this, Norman (1963), working with male university students, found through peer nomination rating methods using twenty paired behavioural descriptions, that there was evidence for the existence of five relatively orthogonal personality dimensions. These dimensions were labelled: Extraversion, Good-naturedness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability and Culture. However, it was Tupes and Christal (1961) and Goldberg (1981) who actively sought to confirm the existence of the five factors and later work by McCrae and Costa (1985, 1987) resulted in interpreting the Culture factor as “Openness to Experience”. Hogan (1982) put forward his socioanalytic theory, based on the five-factor…
Looking to live in paradise? Escape from ice- capped mountains, black slushy snow lining the curbs, dangerous thin layers of black ice, frigid temperatures, greyish thick smog and steam- filled air, as well as those pot hole craters eroding the streets. Life with those types of unsightly and uncomfortable weather conditions is in direct contrast with the meaning of Paradise. What is one’s more appropriate vision of paradise? Introspectively, one can close their eyes and envision that paradise, in this case using Hawaii as an example, possesses very elegant sights, peaceful sounds, and picture-perfect weather conditions.…
