The Odyssey - Gender Roles
Number of Words: 885 / Number of Pages: 4
... other epic poems. No other literary work of this period, or of a similar cultural background, gives such a prominent position to women. No reader of the Odyssey can help having vivid memories of the poem’s outstanding female characters. There are many women in the Odyssey and all of them contribute in mean-ingful ways to the development of the action. Furthermore, they are treated seriously and with respect by the poet, as if there were no difference between his attitude toward them and his feelings toward the chieftains for whom his epic was composed. Among the memorable women in the poem are Na ...

... it because they know that there are millions of people who do their taxes every year and it would be almost impossible for the government to find everyone who cheated on their taxes. The Bill Clinton scandal is also a great example of this philosophy because he thought he could conceal what he did, but in the end it went all wrong. Bill Clinton did what he did because he thought he could hide it, but it turned out to be wrong. Cheating is wrong no matter how hard someone tries to disguise it.
This philosophy should not be a part of our society because no matter how we put it, cheating is wr ...

Panopticism
Number of Words: 1237 / Number of Pages: 5
... According to this passage, Focault gives support to the basic argument concerning the panopticon, that communication is key to knowledge. Within the panopticon, there is no communication among the prisoners or those who view them. This becomes another aspect of power; it underlies the main idea of separation and communication as a form of shaping forces in the panopticon.

Egeus found Hermia's choice of a husband unacceptable and took her in front of Theseus, the Duke of Athens. Theseus told Hermia that she must obey her father or die. Hermia was lucky that Theseus was also in ...

Novelty Never Lasts
Number of Words: 674 / Number of Pages: 3
... Whenever my family orders a pizza for
dinner, I really don't look forward to it as much as I used to. Instead, I just
shrug it off, "Pizza, big deal, what else do we have to eat?" This same loss of
appreciation has happened with my second job as well. I have been working at
Sony Theater's Palace Nine for about four months now, and I can easily say that
I don't really enjoy an outing to the movies as much as I used to enjoy them.
Probably because I see them all for free now, but mostly because I know exactly
how the movie theater works, I no longer experience the same thrill about going
to the ...

Number of Words: 1166 / Number of Pages: 5
... Just for the only purpose to find out and determine why managers are really needed in organisations. One of the very first and probably one of the most quoted classical writers is Henry Fayol.
