Othello: When Honor is Gone, What is Left?
This is the question we ask ourselves while reading Shakespeare’s Othello. Throughout the play Iago’s mission is revealed as trying to strip Othello of all honor, and reduce him to his bestial state. Iago sees Othello as a beat from the beginning of the play and is determined to expose him to everyone. In order for the world to see what Iago already views Othello as, Iago intends to persuade Othello to violate his code of honor; the honor which is the only thing that separates the beasts from the men. Ironically, as Iago tries to coax the beat out of Othello by making him violate his code of justice, we see that Othello’s bestiality was there all along.
From the beginning of the play, Iago’s view of Othello as a beast is obvious. Iago repeatedly describe Othello in terms of animals. When Iago tries to anger Brabantio when news of his daughter marrying the Moor erupts, Iago describe his new son-in-law in vulgar, bestial terms. Iago says “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram... is tuping your white ewe.” (I.1 lines 89-90) He also states “you’ll have your daughter cover’d with a Barbary horse; .you’ll have your nephews neigh to you; you’ll have coursers for cousins and gennets for germans.” (I.1 lines 110-114)
Iago truly thinks Othello a beast, as he even refers to Othello in animal terms when he is by himself. In Iago’s soliloquy at the end of Act 1, Iago says that Othello “will as tenderly be led by th’nose; as asses are.” (I.3 lines 395-396)
Everyone else sees Othello a man of justice who is spoken of by the Duke as he says, “If virtue no delighted beauty lack, Your son-in-law is far more fair than black” (I.3 lines 330-331) Iago is determined to bring out the beast in Othello, as he sees it is more just for everyone to know Othello for what he truly s, a beast. “Make the Moor thank me, love me, and reward me; for making him egregiously an ass.” (II.2 lines 302-303)
Just as everyone views Iago as “honest Iago” everyone holds Othello in high regards. We see how wrong the characters can be as they do not see the true evil inside Iago, we are implored to think that Othello truly is evil as well.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the case study of a three-year-old girl affected with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. This condition malformation syndrome associated with growth retardation, mental retardation, and immunodeficiency subsequent from a hemizygous deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4. Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is characterized by brain developmental defects, immunodeficiency, microcephaly, craniofacial deformities, and congenital heart defects (Hajdu, Ciccia, Lewis, & Elledge, 2011). The median life-expectancy for a patient with this chromosomal syndrome is around 34 years of age (Shannon, Maltby, Rigby, & Quarrell (2001). The patient presents with kidney failure that would require a transplant within the year. The transplant team and social services believe that the implications of her syndrome make her a less-than-ideal candidate for the liver transplant. The hospital claims that the patient’s mental status has no bearing on whether or not they deny a candidate a transplant. With the different stances among the hospital staff, the patient’s mother...
Unlike other genres of music, country music did not begin until August 1, 1927. On this day in Bristol, Tennessee, Ralph Peer signed Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family to recording contracts for Victor Records. These two acts set the tone for others to follow – Rodgers with his unique singing style and the Carters with their extensive recording of old-time music (Roughstock’s History of Country Music).

Female genital mutilation (also known as female circumcision) is the cutting of female clitoral hood and removing clitoris. Following the cutting of female genital organ, there are many short-term and long-term health risk problems, and even death due to some complicated infections.

It is hard to determine the direct origins of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Some researchers believes Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) originated in either ancient Egypt, Ethiopia, or Greece during the fifth century BC (Nawal, 2008, pp. 135-139). However, presently, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is performed on millions of young girls and women (Rahman, 2006). Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) occurs in Africa, Europe, Australia, Canada, and in the United States (Mascia-Lees 2010, pp. 66-68). Furthermore, there are four types of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) procedure. Type 1 hood of skin that sits over the clitoris (prepuce) is removed, type 2 the entire clitoris is removed, type 3 the external genitals are partly or totally removed and the wound stitched together, and type 4 is other practices including piercing, cauterizing, scraping or using corrosive substances designed to scar and narrow the vagina (anonymous 2014).
Female genital mutilation is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons". The practice is more prevalent in countries with limited health care facilities and limited resources for health research. Current estimates reveal that approximately 100-140 million African women have undergone some form of FGM worldwide. Each year another 3 million are at risk just in Africa. FGM is practiced globally as a result of immigration, but is most prevalent on the continent of Africa. The majority of cases are recorded to be within a group of twenty-eight African countries. In countries such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan rates reach as right as ninety-eight of the female population. Its prevalence has been estimated at 61% in Lower Egypt and 97% in Upper Egypt.
