There are several examples of literature that have not so much changed the particular way in which I view the world, but solidified my ideologies; however, one in particular, of very few, has made me think and reconsider certain aspects of my life and human struggle. Antigone, a play written by Sophocles in 441 B.C. offers a variety of lessons, two of which resonate with me above the rest. The first is the sharp contrast divine law and human law has to offer. The second: limitations can only be
Happiness is the single thread that can connect a nation. The desire for and to understand this concept has continued to captivate mankind 's attention, throughout centuries. The question, however, continuously debated is whether this state of 'serenity ' is through the result of predetermined psychological traits, sociological factors, or human agency. It appears the predominant factor would rest heavily upon psychological-based influence. This topic draws on an understanding and research from
Everybody has a philosophy of life. Philosophy is all about wonder, wisdom, a dynamic process, and truth however, there is not one single definition for these components. Everyone wonders in their own paths, have their own level of intelligence, different opinions leading to many truths. These components make us have our own moral beliefs that influences our choice and behavior toward others and determines what is the “right” thing to do.

A newborn baby lies housed in an artificial womb; tubes invade the small fragile body like over grown weeds. The parents weep openly as they watch their precious child lie motionless as it fights for every breath. The tiny machines beep loudly around them as they carefully survey the room counting all the other synthetic wombs that house small bodies. A nurse over hears the desperate parents sorrow as they search for answer to why their child has to suffer." Is it pre-determined fate" the father
Jim Mannoia found himself stuck in traffic on a Los Angeles freeway, his left leg aching from maneuvering the heavy standard transmission in the stop-and-go traffic, sweltering in the heat because his air conditioner was not working and the vehicle was beginning to overheat at the engine level as well as inside the passenger compartment. Worst of all was that the radio was not working. Feeling rightly miserable, he noticed a BMW in the lane beside him, its windows rolled up tight against the heat
Life bears challenges and trials we need to overcome. In many instances, it is the journey through these moments of crisis, not the crisis itself that develops our character. “The Pursuit of Happyness” uses music, camera positioning, and camera angles to present to the viewers the moods, and tones which help demonstrating Chris Gardner’s perseverance, commitment, and determination. Perseverance can be described as the continual effort to do or achieve something through difficulties, failure or

Although Alexander Pope and Voltaire present conflicting views on the purpose of man, both Pope and Voltaire in characterize humans as greedy, egoistical and constantly dissatisfied beings. Pope and Voltaire present many aspects of life, such as social hierarchy, knowledge and religion, but they discuss them in fairly different manners and perspectives. Pope believes in the mechanical way of life; humans have a set role and position in life and should not try to rise, rather maintain and fulfill their positions
informal, communications. Formal communication, such as that established by hierarchy for which personnel must strictly adhere to, will pass information and directives to subordinates from the top down (Stojkovic et al., 2008). When this is done, there will ultimately be noise involved that will distort the original message. Unfortunately, when communication passes through complex channels, such is the case with a complicated hierarchy; there is more opportunity that message will be distorted when it is
Counihan, a doctor of anthropology, food is so important that society has constructed rules regarding its consumption. Counihan emphasizes in her 1992 Anthropology Quarterly article, “Food Rules in the United States: Individualism, Control and Hierarchy,” that these rules serve as the “means through which human beings construct reality” (Counihan, 1992, p. 55). Counihan advocates for the importance of studying food rules by explaining that knowledge about how food is viewed in our culture can do
question focuses on is the view of Aristotle’s ideal state. The distinction between hierarchy and equality is at the heart of the understanding of Aristotle’s ideal state. He claims that an ideal state ought to be arranged to maximise the happiness of its citizens. So happiness together with political action is the telos of human life. This end can be reached by living a better ethical life. However, he endorses hierarchy over equality. On one hand we have the equality which benefits everyone; on the
Many human beings have been involved in a power struggle of some sort since the beginning of time. Between power in the business world, classroom, and government it is often clear who is subordinate and who is dominant. Subordinates may at times feel powerless; however, they can gain satisfaction out of aesthetics and hidden transcripts because of the personal freedoms it represents to them. James Scott wrote an essay, "Behind the Official Story", which is a discussion of subordinates and their
Most countries have their own unique social hierarchies, shaped by the cultures and history of the people. Social hierarchies are the way individuals are classified based on their skill sets, incomes and social standing and are usually passed down for many generations. Because of the factors that shape these hierarchies, it is impossible for a country to change overnight, but it can be done over time. Some countries have very clear structured hierarchy systems with defined rules and roles. Others

a privilege you hold. Social hierarchy is just this; a ranking of individuals based on their personal factors that divide them and creates a hierarchy. Social hierarchies are part of our everyday lives because positions we hold come assigned with different tasks. Those tasks are infused with power, privilege and prestige. Those factors lead to people having power, privilege and prestige over others, therefore causing a hierarchy. In my explanation of social hierarchy, I will be touching on two concepts:
When Chipotle first opened in 1993, the goal was to serve quality food fast, but not be considered “fast food.” To avoid falling under the fast food stigma, Chipotle strives to find the best ingredients with respect to animals, farmers, and the environment. In order to achieve these goals, Chipotle has created a matrix organizational structure that is divisional by location and functional by authority. Chipotle recently expanded internationally to the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, each following
ASDA's Hierarchial Structure A hierarchical structure has many levels. Each level is controlled by one person. A hierarchical company tends to be a very big company just like ASDA is. In a hierarchical company, instructions are generally passed down from one person to another until it gets to the bottom. If there was a problem in a hierarchical structure it would move up through the structure again from one person to another until it gets to where it is supported
