through the memory of hero or of victim.”Derek Walcot (The Postcolonial Studies Reader 371) After Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978); a new milestone in the history of literacy criticism that heralded the postcolonial school of criticism many revisionist approaches emanated to question the self proclaimed ‘truths’ and ‘facts’ and the story behind the histories with an aim to discover the other side of the coin. The Subaltern Studies Group founded in 1982 is another name of such emerging schools which
Rushdie, Postmodernism & Postcolonialism Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, published in 1980, was perhaps the seminal text in conceiving opinions as to interplay of post-modern and post-colonial theory. The title of the novel refers to the birth of Saleem Sinai, the novel’s principal narrator, who is born at midnight August 15th 1947, the precise date of Indian independence. From this remarkable coincidence we are immediately drawn to the conclusion that the novel’s concerns are of the new India
which originated in the advanced countries in the 1980s. It is associated with the idea of "liberal fascism": free enterprise, economic globalization and national corporatism as the institutional and ideological grounds for the civil disciplining of subaltern individuals, "aliens" and groups.” The New Republic has also been seen as a very intellectual New York style of magazine. This means that TNR has more of a center on the New York culture and tries to amplify that in the text and articles. Much

Kejriwal).New Orientalism (Edward Said).Orientalism (David Canadine. Subaltern Studies (Gyatri Spivak) and Appropriate Model of Orientalism (Raymond Schwab). These models stroke up to scrape the stratum between the Orient and the Occident and this propensity helped them understand each other. This discernment on the part of American
Particular accepted gender roles are enforced throughout peacetime and war, often with violent consequences. Initially this essay will explore the meaning behind gendered roles, their creation, and their importance in modern society. Using a case study of the conflict and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this essay will then investigate the prevalence of sexual violence in war. Gender is a social construct and does exist independently. It is an invention of society that dictates what
measurement to determine if a program is worthwhile is Return on Investment (ROI), a study could be conducted of new employees of those that attended the new employee orientation versus those that did not attend the employee orientation. A well thought out orientation program, whether it lasts one day or six months, will help not only in retention of employees, but also in productivity (Brown, 2014). This study could measure if there’s a correlation between the orientation and employee turnover
Leadership defined has two fundamental difficulties, firstly, similar to notions such as ‘love’, ‘freedom’ and ‘happiness’, leadership is a complicated idea that has subjective interpretations (Bolden, 2004). Everyone has their own understanding of what leadership is, based on a mixture of personal experiences and learnings. Secondly, the way leadership is defined and understood through one’s influenced theoretical stance (Bolden, 2004). Those who view leadership as the outcome of individual characteristics
Within living memory, young women who have wanted to study engineering faced such dissent that in 1955, Penn State’s dean of engineering declared, “Women are NOT for engineering,” asserting that all but a few “unusual women” lacked the “basic capabilities” necessary to succeed in this profession (Bix par. 2). Although the number of women in social sciences and humanities has grown steadily, women remain underrepresented in science and engineering. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that “women remain
translation and there are few studies about LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) and their translations. Furthermore, due to the media censorship of materials containing homosexual content in China, support and information in this field are scarce and it posts difficulties for further research. I hope that despite introducing foreign culture and increasing knowledge and gender-awareness of readers, my dissertation can also contribute useful data to homosexual study and translation, thereby spur
What is Gender Based Violence?

Sex and gender are attributes to our identity. Sex describes the physical and biological factors we are born with, for example male or female genitalia, as quoted from blackadder “A boy without a winkle is a girl” (Elton and Curtis 1998). Whether we have oestrogen or testosterone hormones also tells us if we are man or woman. Gender however is in relation to stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, and expectations of what characteristics men or women should portray. Anyone given the opportunity

too extreme because the patient lacks the intake of necessary nutrients to function. Two case studies describe individuals who try overcoming their emotional and psychological battles as they suffer from AN. Both case studies reveal strengths in their findings that have important future implications, but also limitations in the research design that may undermine the strength of the results. A case study conducted by Dolhanty and Greenberg (2009) demonstrates an emotion-focused treatment approach

Then I will identify some of the internal organizational pressures for change that Intel experienced in the
Global Issue: Managing Organizational Behavior and Diversity Review of Subject The success of a company is often based in great part on company culture and a “people centered” approach that recognizes not only the importance of the customer, but equally the importance of its employees. In order to build a people-centered and ethically managed organization there exist core values and practices that are often associated with success. Success in this context not only refers to profit but employee
Ben & Jerry’s was established by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield which met on seventh grade (1966) which led them to open the first ice-cream shop (1978) with a $12.000 investment in an old gas station situated in Burlington, Vermont (Ben & Jerry’s, 2013). Initially, they considered making bagels but apparently, they could not afford the necessary equipment (Cohen and Greenfield et al., 1997). The success that came from this shop lead them to pack ice-cream in pints (1980) for distribution across

Cyberbullying is defined as torment, harassment, intimidation or pressure that is applied to an individual that takes place by using new media. “We use the term new media to describe a media ecology where more traditional media, such as books, television, and radio are converging with digital media, specifically interactive media and media for
VARK Questionnaire: Study Strategies There are many strategies that can be used to help students study efficiently. After participating in the “VARK Questionnaire” the results revealed that I have multimodal preferences. (A multimodal learning preference is a preferred way of learning new information or material that incorporates several different styles of learning. Different modes of learning are combined such as, visual and auditory). Two of my strongest points in studying are reading/writing
