Torvald and Nora in in Ibsens A Dolls House :: A Doll’s House
The Character of Torvald and Nora in A Doll's House  In Ibsen's "A Doll's House", there are many clues that hint at the kind of marriage Nora and Torvald have. It seems that Nora is a type of doll that is controlled by Torvald. Nora is completely dependent on Torvald. His thoughts and movements are her thoughts and movements. Nora is a puppet who is dependent on its puppet master for all of its actions.      The most obvious example of Torvald's physical control over Nora can be seen in his teaching of the tarantella. Nora pretends that she needs Torvald to teach her every move in order to relearn the dance. The reader knows that this is an act, but it still shows her complete submissiveness to Torvald. After he teaches her the dance, he proclaims:          Torvald. ...When you were dancing the tarantella,                              chasing, inviting--my blood was on fire;                   I couldn't stand it any longer--thats                 why I brought you down so early--          Nora. Leave me now, Torvald. Please! I don't want all this.          Torvald. What do you mean? You're only playing                    your little teasing bird game with me;                    aren't you, Nora? Don't want to? I'm                    your husband, aren't I? (Isben 447) This shows that Torvald is more interested in Nora physically than emotionally. He feels that it is one of Nora's main duties as his wife to physically pleasure him at his command.     Torvald is not only demanding mentally and physically, but also financially. He does not trust Nora with money. He feels that she is incapable and too immature to handle a matter of such importance. Torvald sees Nora as a child. She is forever his little "sparrow" or "squirrel". On the rare occasion that Torvald does give Nora some money, he worries that she will waste it on candy, pastry or something else of Childish and useless value. Nora's duties, in general, are restricted to caring for the children, doing housework, and working on her needlepoint. But overall, Nora's most important responsibility is to please Torvald. This makes her role similar to that of a slave.     The problem in "A Doll's House" does not lie with Torvald alone. Though he does not help the situation, he is a product of his society. In his society, females were confined in every way imaginable.

Language Development
Language both oral and written is of utmost importance to human kind. Language is how one communicates, and understands the world. If children are going to lean and communicate in society their development of a wide range of language competencies are essential to guarantee their success in a mixture of settings in their everyday routines. (Otto, 2010, p. 3). The process of acquiring language begins before birth, but is moving at a more rapid pace and changing drastically in early childhood. Children in the early childhood stages of development are very social; they are asking many questions, enhancing their knowledge of language is essential for their learning in all aspects of development (Papalia, Olds, & Feldman, 2008, p. 16). Language development in early childhood is enhanced when educators present young children with curriculum content that supports language acquisition with the use developmentally appropriate methodologies in teaching language and literacy to young children across a developmental curriculum, and the use of adequate referral and intervention strategies for student with special learning needs related to language development. The curriculum content presented to preschool students is important to the acquisition of language in general. When teaching students language skills the curriculum consists of teaching the child to read, write and speak well. This will require systematic work in several different areas, such as: phonemic awareness, semantic knowledge, syntactic knowledge, morphemic knowledge and pragmatic knowledge (Otto, 2010, p. 207). The curriculum for young children should consist of teaching how printed language works, recognizing and naming the letters in the alphabet, leaning letter sounds, as well as blending sounds. Asking questions, describing events, developing vocabulary though conversations and experiences, and opportunities and materials that encourage discussions between students, other students and teachers, along with discussion for problem solving (Bennitt, 1999, pp. 114-115). The developmentally appropriate methodologies in teaching these language and literacy skills to young children consist of exploratory activities, teacher-guided activities, and routine activities (Otto, 2010, p. 208). Exploratory activities are independent activities that allow students a chance to explore ways of interacting with the materials provided. For instance blocks and manipulative urge children to meet the language goals of describing and labeling what was built and how they built it, helping children to solve problems, and persuading them to ask questions, about what they are building and how it relates to real-life structures and events, using receptive and expressive language . Another exploratory activity is a drama corner, children in this environment talk in the roles they are playing using all five aspects of language knowledge. The drama center also helps the understanding of written language when students are provided with pencil and paper to make grocery list, or write letters, or take orders in a restaurant. The book center is also a developmentally appropriate method of presenting language curriculum. In the book center students are encouraged to recreate, previously read stories using pictures and tell them to other students, enhancing both receptive and expressive language. The teacher should only be an observer in this setting as it is exploratory and not teacher guided (Otto, 2010, pp. 11-213). Teacher guided activities also encourage language development, these are activities for a small or large group, but it is considered more developmentally appropriate to keep the large group activities to a minimum and use small groups more often to allow more opportunities for participation and a better view of illustrations or objects involved in the activity. Some of the teacher guided activities that encourage language development are show and tell, book time, oral storytelling and poetry and music time. Show and tell encourages language development by increasing listening comprehension, vocabulary, and taking turns (Otto, 2010, p. 223). Show and tell also supports expressive phonetic knowledge, encouraging children that to speak at a volume with articulation for clear communication to the children they are speaking to. It encourages receptive semantic knowledge though hearing other children describe what they have brought, while expressive semantic knowledge is enhanced by the child describing what they have brought. While pragmatic knowledge is encouraged though the learning of how to use language in this setting of sharing an object or event on interest (Otto, 2010, p. 223). Another teacher guided activity is on that increases interest in reading, increases understanding with written language, expands vocabulary development, and awakes of story structure; this activity is book sharing (Otto, 2010, p. 224). Children will gain knowledge in each aspect of language: 1. Pragmatic, diverse stories use language differently. . Phonetic knowledge, consciousness of the sound system of language. 3. Morphemic knowledge, receptive knowledge of how morphemes impact word meanings, 4. Semantic knowledge increased, through strong and diverse language in books, and pragmatic and syntactic knowledge, how thoughts are structured into sentences and phrases of book language or literate resister. Increasing this skill depends on the appropriate selection of books and the interaction strategies used doing the book sharing (Otto, 2010).

Research Paper Is Hip Hop Culture Detrimental to the Youth
Research Paper: Is Hip Hop Culture Detrimental to the Youth? Hip hop is one of the urban culture branches comprised of hip hop music, break dancing and graffiti art, which has greatly influenced street slang, fashion and other elements. Many people claim it has a negative impact on the younger generation, as it instils improper moral values. But is it actually as harmful as it seems at the first sight? On the one hand, there is a grain of truth in the allegations that hip hop music focuses on shallow life aspects. Many hip hop songs promote violence, crime, sex and drugs and are full of curse words. What is more, there is a category of rap performers that praise to the skies the expensive possessions, such as cars, clothes and jewellery. In other words, they set the pursuit of materialistic values on a pedestal, which certainly is not an appropriate ideal for the young minds. On the other hand, hip hop culture has helped many young people to avoid taking up the wrong path in their lives. It has shown the youngsters in poor areas that they can develop their talent in music, dancing or painting instead of joining one of their local criminal gangs. For them hip hop is like a guiding star and the lyrics are just a form of giving vent to their feelings of anger or frustration. Moreover, hip hop culture implicitly promotes the healthy lifestyle. Obviously, you cannot rap or dance well when you are a heavy smoker or addicted to drugs.

Archetypes in Siddhartha - 889 Words
In analyzing the novel Siddhartha, we find that Herman Hesse has incorporated many literary techniques to relay his message to the reader. By using various writing approaches to convey the theme of the novel, Hesse appeals to the readers senses and aides them in grasping the novel. Included in these techniques are symbolism, metaphor, allusion, and archetypes. He compares many issues that Siddhartha faces to everyday objects and forces, making the novel easier to understand. Three of the main archetypes Hesse uses to get his point across are trees, rivers, and sleep. One of the more obvious symbols used in the novel is a tree. Cross-culturally, it is extremely common for trees to represent wisdom. In Hebrew literature, when†¦show more content†¦In several instances is the novel, Siddhartha falls asleep (the reader should also note that this usually occurs under a tree) and wakes up anewed with a new outlook on life. Then he had fallen asleep, and on awakening he looked at the world like a new man.... Never had a sleep so refreshed him, so renewed him, so rejuvenated him! (76) Just as in the traditional English story A Christmas Carol, where Scrooge goes to bed and wakes up a new man after a series of nightmares, many authors have used the metaphor of sleep to show emotional growth in their characters. Another case in point is Kate Chopins book on a womans self-discovery appropriately titled The Awakening. Just like these authors, Hesse proves to be no stranger to this choice of symbolism. He illustrates quite effectively and allows the reader to notice and reflect on Siddharthas personal development on more than one level. It is easy to see that many cross-cultural themes were brought into Siddhartha. Through writing on more than one level, Hesse has created a literary masterpiece that is extremely deep and meaningful. The application of the symbols he chose makes some of the themes in the novel easier to see and decipher. Using the archetypes that he did makes the novel one that many civilizations will read and understand for generations to come. Works Cited Hesse, Hermann. Siddhartha.

Culture Of Intimidation And Failure Of Law â€Myassignmenthelp.Com
Questions: What Are The Impacts Of Sex Scandals To Ubers Culture? What Are The Mitigation Of The Sex Scandals In The Organization? What Are The Causes Of Such Scandals In The Organization? How The Scandals Affect The Employee Relations In The Organization? Answers: Introducation Whenever scandals such as sexual harassments fill business companies, many of them lose track of their cultures. This results in increased likelihood of failing to achieve the set goals of such organization. Leaders of such organization are filled with fear which impacts negatively to the profound extent in the way they implement outlined programs that are major determinants of realizing success(Adkins, 2006). Sexual harassment scandals have immensely affected people in various ways from different cultures. The scandal has resulted in a shift in the way Uber delivers its services. Due to the act in the organization, research reveals that the organization started to provide its services in a pattern of arrogance neglecting the ethical standards governing the organization. It is due to this that has made the company remain stunted in development. Other companies have also shifted in their cultures due to the dominance of sex scandals in them. Corporations neglect their ways of delivering their services objectively immediately the scam bedevils the organization. Ethics of such organizations and legal standards are things of the past, and therefore the organization fails to meet its objectives(Stephen, 2000). The management in such scenarios has little to correct since as per publications made, they are the primary carriers of the scam. In the operation of many companies, such as Uber, success can only be realized if the corporate image of the organization is right in the minds of the public. Clients will only be attracted to the organizations if the reputation right. An excellent reputation is built according to the way the organization delivers services to the customers as well as good management that ensures free from scandals in the organization. A good reputation is, therefore, an added advantage for the success of the team. Whenever a scandal is in the organization, sincerity in approaching to the issue is the only way to go in killing such scenarios. The project, therefore, targets in giving the analysis of sexual scandals impacts on the cultures of the organizations citing the case being on the culture of Uber.In addition, various literature has been employed in order to ensure th at the information reached at is the most suiting to the conclusions yet to be drawn(Gerhard, 2001). Problem Statement The issue of sexual harassment has existed in many companies for a long period of time. In Uber Company, the organization had constantly ignored reports presented by one of the employees in the organization Susan Fowler. She gave allegations that the Human resource manager had severally neglected her complains on the way she was harassed sexually at the time she was working for the company. Furthermore, the organization had fired over 20 employees due to the case related to sexual harassment. The number is believed to be too low in comparison to many cases of sexual harassment handled by the organization. Studies reveal that a total of 215 cases had been conducted. It is therefore concluded that the company did not pay reasonable attention to these scandals. It therefore resulted to evolution that made many customers to shun the organization(Maya, 2017). The organization therefore has made minimum profits. Many of the employees also could not concentrate especially those who were affected directly by sex scandals hence failure to deliver affecting the organization negatively hence set goals could not be realized. Some of the employees decided to quit looking for descent jobs governed by ethics and codes of conduct of employees. Organizations in such cases tend to divert their attention to getting solutions to such scandals, and therefore the culture of the organization is less valued. Leaders with crucial abilities lose concentration of performance because of fear especially when they are the ones involved in such scandals. The problem over the decades has existed for so long in many corporate worlds. In the Uber, women have been talking about frustrations over an extended period, and therefore there is need to research as to know how the culture of the organization is affected in turn(Peter, 2005). The goals of the project are to explore the impacts of sexual harassment scandals on the culture of Uber as an organization. It will also focus on the cause of these sexual scandals as well as mitigation of the scandals. To be specific, the research aim in answering the following questions: The above fundamental questions will help to address the concerns raised by many (Harold, 2003) They will also help the upcoming firms to be vigilant of this problem laying out strategies targeting to avoid the problem as early as possible before the organization is burned to ashes. Keeping in mind the above concerns in the contemporary world will help organizations to survive despite the extent at which the scandal could have affected its operation. The leaders since are the most victims in the organization, and the women will always be on the watch(Project Management Institute, 2004). Justification Of The Project Sex scandals have been on many occasions the cause of collapsing of many business organizations. For every business to succeed, respect to its culture is so paramount. Companies tend to suffer since the appropriate approach to this problem is not followed to the latter. It is because they do not know the extent at which the problem impact on the culture of the organization. Carrying out this research project will enable more light to be shade pertaining this issue hence many organizations in this and the next generations will be saved. The response given will help to identify ways to be put in place in order to help the organization to cover up such messes whenever they are encountered(Jones Reginald., 2010). The research is also crucial in helping the leaders and the entire employees of the organizations to embrace teamwork, togetherness and being concerned whenever one of them has got an issue. Such good relations will help in destroying harmful behaviors such as sexual scandals that are major setbacks of a culture embracing by the organization. Such spirits will ensure that every organization is exercising this succeeds. The proposal is therefore important since the following benefits will be outlaid: It will help those who need to know in the contemporary society as to the impact of sexual harassment scandals in the cultures of organizations. ? This research project will assist in sharpening the minds of young entrepreneurs to be aware of the damage that can be caused by sexual scandals in their organization and therefore making them to be always keen in ensuring that the problem is dealt with as early as possible.? Leaders of the organizations will employ the strategies laid down in the project in dealing with the current sexual scandals in the organization that otherwise would define the cultures of the organization. Applying the knowledge laid down in the project will help managers always to stay on the course of ensuring that the business succeeds. The knowledge gained from the research will be able to be utilized by many entrepreneurs, researchers and policymakers in improving the corporate world. ? The study will ensure that small business starters can understand the causes, effects, and impacts of sexual scandals in the culture of the organizations. They will, therefore, have a sharper focus when setting up their businesses ensuring such problem is a thing of the past.? expected research output/outcome The results of this study will provide an analytical framework for investigating the impact of sexual scandals in the cultures of various organizations. The outcomes will always help in ensuring that every organization will remain focused on achieving their set goals despite the challenges they encounter not even sexual scandals. The success of every business depends on the culture adherence; the project is meant to confirm the truth after giving out the outcomes of the research hence a crucial tool to be employed by many organizations. In the case, a business has got such challenge, togetherness of employees supporting each other is the way to go in eradicating the problem. The mentioned instances will have a profound impact on the outcome to be realized at the end of the project(Levin, 2017). The approaches employed for instance the research questions used as identified in the study will be responded to basing on the methods used to collect data, results analysis that will be conducted for the same project. These results will be employed in various academic research platforms to provide students of research with more relevant knowledge helping them in carrying out research. Those who plan to establish businesses in future will be able to employ the knowledge gathered in the research to ensure that sex scandals are dealt with appropriately in case they arise in their organization providing that they little or no impact on the set culture of the organization. Their businesses, therefore, are more likely to succeed(Lee, 2000). Conceptual Framework Various publications have been made on sexual harassment scandals in the organization or workplace. Such papers will help us be able to employ such knowledge in relating to the topic under study and making such improvements on them. Studies show that firms progressively lack direction on their course whenever matters of sex, love, and relationships come at their place of work. Individual achieve excellence whenever they do their activities to their best of their merits, but sex is a major distractor of this according to the studies made. People involved tent to forget the operation of the organization and therefore ignoring the cultures of the organization. Sexual harassment in the organization results to downplaying the ubiquity of consensual sex in the place of work. A recent study conducted by the law firm of Carlton Field Jorden pertaining sexual harassment scandals gave an approach of discouraging the ladies not to speak up whenever they are got up in a mess(Richman, Judith, Ken neth, Kathleen, Rospenda., 2006). The rights of the workers according to the studies is as well undermined which interferes with the way they deliver services to the organization. Employees in these scenarios they are forced to believe that they are legally bound not to complain whenever instances such as those happen in the organization. They are therefore not at peace and therefore cannot deliver as expected of them hence such organizations fail to realize the set goals(Hansen, Ase, Hogh, 2006). Studies show that many employees are being continually harassed sexually due to the fact they do not want to expose them. Exposing them according to them tarnishes the image of the organization, and therefore those affected continue to suffer. In this regard, putting the problem to an end is very difficult(Anderson Katherine., 2013). Methodology The research aims to employ the following research methods in order to realize its objectives: Literature Review whereby in-depth analysis of various literature from different sources will be analyzed. The research employed in this case relate to the topic under study. The Knowledge acquired will provide a framework guide will handling the study(Strossen Nadine., 2014). Information from surveys carried out to be scrutinized providing more information on the cause of sexual scandals, its effect on the culture of the organization and the outcomes of such scandals on the performance of the organization(Lewis:Jacquline Diane, 2002). Questions will be provided to various business operators to ensure that they provide relevant information that will be of profound help in ensuring that the project is successful. Analyzing data immediately respondents finished filling in the questionnaires to ease the process, It was done through suggesting questions to be included in the surveys so that relevant data is collected, suggesting what to focus on, the specific information one was looking into making the research a success by ensuring that the questions utilized remained on course. The questionnaires were analyzed through the following approaches: Checking the explanations given out analyzing them appropriately. Looking for various contradictions realized and then evading them out Getting uniform responses from the respondents in order to compare the responses given, meaningful conclusions can be then be made. Weighing the evidence presented so that conclusions can be made accordingly. Checking out for the outliners directions(Rokonuzzanman, Radman, Mizanur., 2011). The study will employ the methodologies mentioned above to ensure that the primary aim of the research gets achieved. The findings will later be analyzed, and meaningful conclusions will be reached at(Tehrani, 2004). Organization Of The Study The study will be organized in various chapters to ensure that the aim at the end is realized as follows: Chapter one will deal with the proposal of the research as the assignment outlines comprehensively. The project, in this case, is a preparation process that initiates the research itself. Chapter Two will describe the research outlining the impacts caused by sexual scandals in Uber's culture. Mitigations to reasons of this problem will also be outlaid in this section Chapter Three will deal with the research approaches employed or the methodologies of the research project. Data analysis methods will also be well covered in this section. Chapter Four deals with the research findings and also the analysis of the same findings done comprehensively. Chapter Five will give a summary of the significant conclusions and also out layout the discussion on the extent at which sexual scandals impacted the cultures of Uber(Williams Hellen., 2012). Search Schedule The following table represents a Gantt chart showing the timeline for the entire project under study and its completion requirements.

The budget has been broken down into the following subsections: Conducting literature reviews need intensive research, buying of books, online journals of which they are to some extent costly. This exercise will, therefore, cost about $1500. Collection of data particularly employing the concept of simple surveys, questions administering, printing of the questionnaires, carrying them to the field as well as collected them back for analysis is an expensive approach. The process, therefore, needs about $2500. ? In addition, the budget has to be allocated for expenses such as access to the charts, figures for the analysis. Tables too need money for them to be made. The entire exercise regarding this will consume about 1000(Christine Platti, 2009).

Judging The Veracity Of CSA Memories 1. Essays -
Judging the Veracity of CSA Memories 1. In October of 1996 a group of Psychologist at Stanford University began conducting a study funded by an award from the Institute on Women and Gender located also at Stanford University. This study centered on examining factors associated with therapist's judgements and treatment decisions regarding patients with memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and how these personal judgements affected treatment strategies. The researchers implemented a detailed questionnaire and surveyed five hundred four male and five hundred four female therapists and then compiled the results obtaining some very contradictory results when compared with previously held beliefs. The study identified three primary goals: to examine the relationship between characteristics of sexual abuse memories and the therapists' ability to judge the credibility of the allegations, to review the link between the therapists' determination of truthfulness of the sexual abuse memory and the treatment decisions made, and to examine the effect of the therapists' beliefs on clinical judgement and treatment decisions. The researchers noted that there is a growing body of empirical evidence that shows a large number of adults reporting sexual abuse also report forgetting some or all of their abuse. Problems have been feared though if a therapist does not believe their client and navigates a course of treatment that will not benefit the patient's actual needs. They also mention a growing fear among therapists of being accused in criminal court of planting false memories of CSA. The fourth goal of this study, not outlined by the researchers, was interpreted as finding and establishi ng a strong guideline to assist therapist when reviewing patients reporting memories of CSA or presenting symptoms relating to those memories. Judging the Veracity of CSA Memories 2. The research group implemented a detailed and original National Psychologist Survey that included a varying case vignette and a questionnaire. The case vignette consisted of two paragraphs with the first paragraph describing a 32-year-old male or female patient with seven psychological symptoms that have been associated with CSA including specific instances of acting out for men and women. The second paragraph then contained specific information of five different characteristics of abuse. These varied in a ratio to conceive 48 different vignettes and each participant was randomly given one of the 48 vignettes. Also included were four separate sections to the questionnaire, the Abuse Credibility Rating, Abuse-Focused Treatment Scale (AFTS), Prevalence of Sexual Abuse Scale (PSABS), and demographics. The research group utilized five focus groups and one panel of experts to develop the questionnaire and vignettes. The participants were 1008 randomly chosen members of the APA. Sixty eight percent of the participants responded with one percent refusing to participate. Five percent of the questionnaires had too much missing data to be useful. This created a pool of 64% of 984 usable questionnaires. The participants represented an ethnic breakdown that was consistent with the APA as a whole with the majority being doctoral level therapist. Twelve percent of the respondents reported a history of sexual abuse with two percent refusing to answer the question and three percent not being sure These efforts revealed some expected and some surprising results concerning how therapist interpret the type of recollection a patient presents. The article cited a study by Ofshe and Watters (1994) which stated that therapists rely on vague memories as evidence of sexual abuse. Whereas the results of this study showed therapists tend to Judging the Veracity of CSA Memories 3. hold vivid memories as proof of CSA. The study also showed therapists tend to disbelieve the truthfulness of previously forgotten memories as portraying actual events. However, there is a large volume of studies present, employing varying methodologies, which show a portion of CSA survivors experience periods of forgetting all or part of their ordeal such as those suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Despite strong evidence proving a CSA survivor may well forget portions of their trauma, this study showed therapists tend to believe vivid and complete memories as opposed to vague, partial, or previously forgotten memories. Therapists also take into account the age of the patient at the time they experienced the abuse. They are prone to believe the patients who remember the abuse occurring after age 4. The therapists were not affected by the
