Arrowsmith is a classic American novel written by Sinclair Lewis. Lewis wrote this book in the early 1900’s as a current outlook on the world of science in that time. The main theme it focuses on is commercialism and its effect on science. During this time period there were many advances in the field of medicine; everyone was racing to find the cure to deadly diseases and then patent it and profit off it. Helping humanity was more of a business than a service to the human race as doctors and institutes

, it was a period of immense cultural crisis and political convulsion (Arrowsmith 350). Euripides, like many other of his contemporaries, used the whole machinery of the theater as a way of thinking about their world (Arrowsmith 349). His interest in particular was the analysis of culture and relationship between culture and the individual.

The concept of employee engagement is one of which has been widely discussed by academics and professionals in management, however the upmost definition is yet to be determined.

The Imperfection of Translation The essential problem with translation is an obvious one. A word has more qualities than just its denotation. For one, a word has a sound, an attribute which has great importance in poetry (though we should not underestimate its significance in prose, as well). Also, a word consists of various connotations, meanings which only rarely cross over from language to language. Complicating matters is the nature of literature itself. Writers and poets put pressure

1. Public procurement Odhiambo and Kamau define public procurement as the purchasing, hiring or obtaining by any contractual means, goods, construction works and services by the public sector.

Euripides: A Greek Playwright Euripides is a keen witness to the human character and the father of the psychological theater. His plays were modern at the time compared to others because of the way he focused on the personal lives and motives of his characters, in a manner that was unfamiliar to Greek audiences. His plays have often been seen, in simple terms, bad because critics have been unable to comprehend his visions. The ideas and concepts that Euripides developed were not accepted until
between the diegetic world of the film and the audience through precisely spacious camera techniques. ?I want to re-create reality in an abstract form. I?m really questioning the nature of reality,?

Blow-up has often times been compared to Francis Ford Coppola?s The Conversation. The two films not only share a similar plot (two men, both leaders in their fields

their courage’s achievements and noble qualities. “Each generation creates its personal heroic figures to contest the well known imaginative creature. The hero is used as an authors tool to carry the main threads of pattern and internal custom” (Arrowsmith, p.200). Through the play on language techniques, the one-dimensional definition of a hero can be enhanced, minimised and juxtaposed. Heroic characters entwined within a text have the capabilities to express morals, messages and the resolution of
The environmental variation now and then shifted the roles of Human Resources vis-à-vis the working patterns in current business world.
