Michael Frayn's Copenhagen “Our children and our children’s children. Preserved, just possibly, by that one short moment in Copenhagen. By some event that will never quite be located or defined. By that final core of uncertainty at the heart of things.” (Frayn 94) The final line of Michael Frayn's Copenhagen suggests an approach to reading the entire work that looks at the inseparable scientific and dramatic elements of the play. Heisenberg says that no one will ever fully understand the
Scientific and religious approaches to comprehending reality are deeply complementary. I do not use the word ‘deeply’ for emphasis alone: the qualities that science and religion hold in common are anything but obvious. Viewed on the surface, science and religion often appear to be at odds. Details and dogmas frequently conflict, and misperceptions originating on either side can lead to rejection of the unfamiliar system. At the lofty level of philosophical abstraction, a satisfying reconciliation
The interpersonal circumplex describes state-like personality characteristics and predicts behaviour between two people. The dimensions of the model are intended to possess complementarity, whereby individuals seek personalities that complement and strengthen their own characteristics via reciprocity and correspondence (Woodward & Bauer, 2007). This means that those individuals who are high in dominance would gravitate towards someone who is submissive and vice versa. In contrast, those high in hostility
attraction, research has shown that it is similarity rather than complementarity which typically promotes attraction. In the research paper, Birds of a moral feather: The role of morality in romantic attraction and relationship satisfaction, written by Koleva, morality is considered a major aspect in both attraction and relationship satisfaction. Romantic ideals, romantic obtainment, and relationship experiences: The complementarity of interpersonal traits among romantic partners written by Markey
too dissimilar are filtered out. Although the Filter Theory emphasizes that similarity plays an important role in attraction, it does not disregard the concept of complementarity completely, in fact, it recognizes that complementarity becomes more important as the couple begins to enter more involved stages of courtship. Complementarity with regard to interpersonal styles, compatible traits and behavioral characteristics might become more important in determining whether or not the relationship
the Tao” or in “living in harmony with the Tao.” Explain as carefully as possible what the Tao is and how one comes to find (and live in harmony with) it. Include in your answer a thorough discussion of the following three principles: stillness complementarity (yin/yang) spontaneity (wu wei). The formal definition of Tao in Chinese philosophy is “the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang and signifying the way, or code of behavior, that
that is being widely discussed. According to Hall and Thelen (2005), the ‘varieties of capitalism’ is a firm-centered approach where firm is placed as a key actor and is being considered relational. It emphasizes the concept of institutional complementarities, which ‘…one set of institutions is complementary to another when its presence raises the returns available from the other’ (Hall and Gingerich, 2004, p.6). Also, the development of relationships between firms and other five domains – industrial
the evolutionary approach towards attraction in accordance to methods used to support it. The second part describes alternative, social theories to the phenomena with taking into account research done in this field. In this part similarity and complementarity theories will be supported. The first assumption of evolutionary theory is that human behaviour has been developed throughout million years from the behaviour of our ancestors. Evolutionary psychologists suggest that basics of behaviour, in this
scientific discoveries had been refuted. In one of science’s most defining moments, an undisturbed photon of light was found to exhibit both wave-like and particulate qualities. The relationship between these two qualities would later be termed complementarity by Niels Bohr, one of the scientists at the forefront of this discovery. As Thomas S. Kuhn notes in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, “Before [the theory of quantum mechanics] was developed by Plank, Einstein, and others early in [the twentieth]
is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body (Gen. 2:22-24). Marriage is the union between one man and one woman; therefore same sex unions must not be accepted because they violate the complementarity of the sexes, can cause long term problems in children, and promote the immoral use of technology to create children.
. For example, Regaeton is a hybridization of American hip-hop containing similar messages of sex and money as the American version, yet also political messages specific to their state. Salsa, a mashup of afro-caribbean rhythms from Cuba and Puerto Rico (Manuel, 1994) originally began in the New York by Hispanic Caribbean migrants as means to hold onto national identity, however it has resisted American influence artistically even though commercially it is distributed by major American music corporations
Introduction The dynamics of the coach athlete relationship in youth sports are a very vital part of the sporting arena. This topic interests me because of my developing coaching career while dealing with the youth. The performance of the team does not solely relay on the coaches or athlete’s ability. There have been instances when interactions between the coach and player have not been optimum. Indiana Coach Bob Knight is universally known for several technical fouls and being ejected from the
In 1998, the concept of RNA interference (RNAi) was first discovered and added to the complexity of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in cells (Fire, 1998). The RNAi phenomenon was originally discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans where the injection of double-stranded RNA resulted in the decreased expression of genes with highly homologous sequences to the injected nucleic acid sequence. In the first step of the mechanism of RNAi, double stranded RNA is converted cleaved into short
1. Summary of Pei-Fang Hsu’s paper work “Integration ERP and e-business: Resource complementarity in business value creating” This paper clarifies the two concepts of ERP and e-businesses and what components they consist of. An ERP-system consist of several modules, which the most common modules are such as General Ledger, Account payable, Account Receivable and Logistic. Moreover, firm uses ERP-solutions for internal reasons, sharing data real-time by using ERP-solutions across different departments
“Vulnerability is not the same as poverty. It means not lack or want, but defenselessness, insecurity and exposure to risk, shocks and stress... vulnerability has remained curiously neglected in analysis and policy, perhaps because of its confusion with poverty. Yet vulnerability and its opposite, security, stand out as recurrent concerns of poor people which professional definitions of poverty overlook.” (Beck, T. 1989 in Moser, C. 1995, p.166) In a time where, according to UN, poverty has been
In accounting terms, operating expenses (OE) and cost of goods sold (COGS) are both considered expense accounts. In short, they measure different ways in which resources are spent in the process of running a business. They are segregated on an income statement in part to see how much a product’s resources cost versus how much it costs a business to turn those resources into a consumer good. First and foremost, operating expense is one of the financial factors that affect the service industry. Operating
Navajo Life Ways For the Navajo, oral histories illuminate the way to uphold a fruitful, modern life. Unlike other native Athapaskan speaking groups, the Navajo are “exceptionally resilient” in the face of modernization through their high language retention (9). In preserving their language, the Navajo preserve the oral traditions that give them the “knowledge” to overcome the “manifestation of improper, disharmonious behavior” generated through Western influence (41). In retaining the knowledge
Frankenstein: The Individual and Society The creature's ambiguous humanity has long puzzled readers of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In this essay I will focus on how Frankenstein can be used to explore two philosophical topics, social contract theory, and gender roles, in light of ideas from Shelley's two philosophical parents, William Godwin, and Mary Wollstonecraft. What Does it Mean to be Human? Individual and Society One historically important tradition in social and political
G. Carter Bentley’s practice theory is a popular approach in understanding how ethnicity is constructed and ethnic identity is maintained. Here we shift from boundaries to focus on people’s patterns of experiences, both objective and subjective. Bentley draws on Bordieu’s concepts of "habitus" and "practice". Bordieu argues that the objective conditions, mediated by systems of symbolic representations, generate in different persons dispositions to act in different ways (Bentley
Introduction This paper explores accusations of selective justice regarding the ICC, made by the African Union. It argues that the ICC can effectively contribute to peace and peacebuilding, so long as it involves a comprehensive approach to international justice that extends beyond criminal trials. The argument is reinforced through utilization of African case studies where the ICC has not been entirely effective. Furthermore a solution focusing on progressive initiatives of restorative international
