What Makes A Monster? Essay What defines a monster? Is it their grotesque, unnatural appearance that separates them from the rest of mankind, or is it their lack of remorse and compassion that makes them different? The word monster conjures up figures from gothic horror of exotic peoples with horrifyingly exaggerated features, and the kinds of impossible delusive beasts inhabiting the pages of medieval bestiaries. Well at first I thought exactly that. When I used to hear the word "monster", my mind immediately pictured the petrifying beast that took residence under my bed for a substantial portion of my childhood. It had demonic beating red eyes, razor sharp teeth that glistened with fresh blood and amphibian like scales covering every inch of its enormous body. However, as I got older, I started to realize that there was no such thing as monsters and that it was all just a figment of my imagination. Accordingly, the fear of the monster under my bed slowly dissipated. Nevertheless, it wasn't until after reading a quote by my favorite author, Steven King, that I was finally able to fully comprehend what the true definition of the word "monster" really was. "Monsters are real, ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes they win". It had taken me awhile to truly grasp what King had meant, but then it clicked. Everyone has a monster inside them, dormant or not. That monster is the voice we hear in the back of our heads, urging us to cheat or to steal, and in some instances, worse. That monster Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay about networks Improving Network Performance Nowadays, it seems that everyone has a computer and is discovering that communication technologies are necessary. E–mail, Internet, and file transferring has become a part of the modern world. Networks allow people to connect their computers together and to share resources. They allow people to communicate and interact with each other. The days of the lone PC are diminishing. At the same time, computers are getting faster than ever. The most powerful PC five years ago couldn't be sold for half of its original price today. This poses some problems to the consumer. New technologies can't be driven by older technology. As innovations continue to be invented, the computer of yesterday is fast outpaced by the ...show more content... Modems, a popular communications device, typically have throughput rates from 9600 baud (See Glossary) to 28800 baud. Modems use an RS232 or serial port connection. One solution to this transmission speed is the parallel or Centronics port. This port transmits eight bits at a time instead of one with a serial port, which is how they got their names. Because it sends eight bits at a time, a parallel port can achieve transfer rates of up to 40,000 bits or 5000 characters a second (Seyer 64). Parallel ports are commonly used to connect to printers and external storage devices. The main problem with modems and parallel ports is that only two computers can be connected at one time. Networks were invented to solve this. They allowed a group of computers to communicate and to share resources such as hard disk space and printers. Different types of networks have different throughput rates, but all are higher than either serial or parallel ports. The type of network used at Banks High School is an Ethernet network with software from Novell. This network has the capability of supporting transfer rates up to ten megabits per second (Bennett 1). Although this seems like a lot, remember that all of the computers on the network are using this connection at the same time and each computer has to share with every other computer. There are a few ways to speed up a slow Ethernet network, however. Splitting the responsibility from one server to many is one way, and using more than one Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Democracy Essay : What Is Democracy? What is democracy? To me democracy is the freedom to choose how your country is run. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, it defines democracy as government by the people1. Democracy gives us the freedom to choose our government officials and political leaders. We have the right to choose our leaders and the way we live when many others do not have that power. We are privileged as a country; many aspire to be like us. Our country through democracy, gives us the opportunity to live life how we would like to. This idea is known as the American Dream, which is different for everyone. The American Dream is most commonly depicted as a good job, making good money, a spouse and children, and living a good life in general. Outsiders may think the grass is greener on the other side, but in reality it is not. Our country is going downhill and fast. In ten years I do not know where the U.S. will be, but I hope that we will become stronger and figure out our faults now as a whole. In many ways, I see our freedoms have expanded, but only to be replaced with new rules that blockade those new freedoms. In the past couple of decades our country has changed so much. Even more has changed in the past century. Slavery has been frowned upon and thrown out, the equal rights movement took place and showed that we are all equal at the end of the day. With that being said, there are still some that ridicule others and their races, and believe that they are superior to the others. Some Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Definition Essay: What Is A Hero? "What is a hero?" The word hero can mean whatever a person wants it to mean. Many people define a role model or person they think is a hero out of their occupations. However, a person does not become a hero because of their occupation or what they do that we envy. A hero is a person who takes a bold step or achievement that requires courage, bravery and a kind heart to do it, and the act is normally done for others. Heroes are not heroes out of their occupations like a doctor. For example, a doctor's work is to save lives, so when they do this, it is what we expect of them. If a doctor saves a drowning child from a swimming pool, he becomes a hero . The doctor demonstrates an act of bravery and courage for the child. So a hero can be any person with or without an occupation, who performs a bold act for others. A hero just has to be someone to sacrifice something for others. Heroes can come from anywhere. Heroes do not have to do action acts such as saving a person. Heroes can even be from acts of kindness. Some ...show more content... A hero goes through many difficulties in a journey that poses so many dangers of failure. Many people in such situations would give up and turn back. However, heroes persist on despite challenges and difficulties. Heroes are ordinary people in difficult situations that require courage and even raise fear in them. However, they manage to overcome their fear in order to persist on until they accomplish their mission. The difference between those who become heroes and those who do not is their courage to face difficult situations and never giving up until they accomplish their goal. Their courage allows them to persist on with any challenge that comes their way, despite standing a slight chance of winning. They take up the slim chance and manage to use it to their advantage until they achieve what they intend to achieve for Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

What Is A Essay He was actually kind of adorable, messy blond hair fell to the base of his neck while coffee colored eyes were tinted with flakes of gold. Spence wouldn't dare talk to him, he was out of his league anyway. Like Levi, Dmitry wasn't part of Greek life, but he hung around that crowd. Spence had only talked to him a total of three times. However, two of them were a simple 'hey' while the third was a question about an assignment for physics. Dmitry wouldn't be into him though. It wasn't like Spence was ugly–well, he wasn't ghastly looking. He glanced down at his body, sure he could spare to lose a few pounds, maybe shave off his neckbeard, but he wasn't bad. No, it was because he was 99.9% sure the man was straight, he had to be straight. ...show more content... A tall short–haired Asian girl went first, introducing herself as Sarah Kim. She babbled about how her family was Korean–American, that she was originally from Seattle, she had a dog named Bubbles, and two other things that Spence had forgotten. One by one, students rose up and introduced themselves while stating things about them. Some were being serious about it while others were bullshitting the activity. Spence wasn't listening though, he kept catching a glance at the Russian boy who seemed to be chatting with another student. As a redheaded girl next to him finished speaking, Spence rose up and could feel his face turn red. He hated speaking in public and even though half these kids probably weren't even listening, it was still embarrassing. He took a deep breath and began to talk. "Uh Hi, I'm Spencer De Vries. I'm half Dutch, half Filipino (one). I'm from Des Moines, Washington (two). I plan on majoring in computer science (three). I'm an only child (four). And, um, my favorite color is blue." When Spence looked back down at the class, the majority of them looked bored out of their minds. He felt a sinking feeling in his gut, trying to remind himself that being boring is better than being laughed at as he took his seat. Resuming his gaze upon on the Russian.

What Is A Family? Essay For most of us, the family is considered as a well–known and comfortable institution. The perfect model of the 'ideal' family is still mostly considered to be consisted from two different sexes' parents, and one or more children. Until quite recently, the sociology of the family was mostly functionalist and just in the last few decades has been challenged from various directions. There are many different definitions about what the family is. Different theoretical positions influence these variations. For example, the functionalist sociologist George Peter Murdock defines the family as "a social group characterized by common residence, economic co–operation and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes, at least two of whom maintain ...show more content... An early functionalist George Murdock argued that the family plays the main role in the society by performing three main functions– ± Stabilisation of the sexual behaviour and reproduction. ± Providing the basic economic requirements. ± Serving the function of socialisation of the next generation. G. Murdock claimed that without family serving these three functions the society would disappear. He considered these functions as universal, although he agreed that they could develop. Talcott Parsons argues this statement, by saying, that there are two broad functions of the family– primary socialisation and stabilisation of the adult personality 'throughout the emotional security, including sexual expression, provided by marriage' (O'Donnell, 1997). In these days, when society is changing, the functionalistic statements lose their strength. For example, the sex outside the marriage, in these days of easily available contraception, is no more the taboo. Margaret Mead argues Murdock's and Parsons imply that nuclear family is biologically necessary and natural. She stated that the nuclear family is based on culture, not biology. Marxist views on the family Marxists have very critical view of the family and society. They adopt a structural perspective, but put it in the class nature of the society. The starting point for the most Marxist analyses of gender and the family is Friedrich Engels' (1820–1895) The Origin of the Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

What Is A Leader? Essay What is a leader? When thinking about this question I feel like you have to really know what it means to be a leader. Webster Dictionary definition is: a time when a person holds the position of a leader. No one is born a leader, leaderships skills comes from life experiences, education and employment. Everyone grows into a leader and then afterwards grow into a leadership style that will eventually begin to shape and inspire other leaders. Having a title or high above power does not make you a leader. Inspiring and providing great communication, confidence, advice, laughs, knowledge, honesty and reality. Those great skills help you become a great leader. Even with these great leadership skills, there are many different kinds of leadership styles. "Becoming the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position." –Brian Tracy Are you a participative leader? Participative leaders or better known as democratic leaders include team members and others, but making the final decision is up to the participative leader. Participative leaders build confidence and knowledge within team members because their inputs matter within decision making. It helps team members think their opinions, help with decisions. If there is a change that needs to be implemented a participative leader helps team members understand the change in a positive way.

What is a Community? Essay example A community is established when more than two people share the same values and through time this personal connection evolves into a fellowship governed by rituals, traditions, and a particular form of communication that when taken together makes a group of individuals whether living in a specific geographical area or connected by ideals so distinct that their distinguishing marks allow them to stand out from among the crowd. They do not just believe in something like an organization but they need each other to survive and thrive. A good example is the Old Order Amish Mennonite community wherein the community serves as source of identity, strength and provides the reason why they should sustain the community's way of life. It ...show more content... Communities are affected, and in a sense defined by, forces that affect community members and their space. The forces can range from outside organizations such as the government and large corporations ... These components of the community vary infinitely, and thus no two communities are the same; even a given community is not the same over time (Cnaan & Milofsky, p. 1) Based on this definition it is interesting to note that the Old Order Amish Mennoite community satisfies the requirements of place, interests and communion. Aside from being a perfect example of a community the Amish people exemplify what it means to be a part of a community that it is their source of identity, strength, and sustainability. Each individual exists for the community but as a whole the community nurtures each member and therefore it is unthinkable for an Amish man or woman to leave their community behind. On the other hand many Americans feel they must "get involved." In public life as well as in private, we can discern the habits that sustain individualism and commitment as well as what makes them problematic. (Bellah, p.74) For the Amish Mennonite community the purpose of the community is very clear. First, it provides them a sense of identity, not only who they are as of the present but also helps them to trace their origins and the reason for their Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

What is Leadership? Essay Leadership is a difficult word to define and according to the Miriam–Webster Dictionary leadership is the "office or position of a leader" (Miriam–Webster, 2010). This definition is definitely not one that I would ascribe to when discussing leadership. My definition of leadership is "the ability someone has to motivate and empower others to achieve a goal." Some may add to this definition, others may discard it altogether and have a completely different definition. In the end, leadership takes on many different forms depending on who is doing the defining and we end up asking ourselves, what is leadership and why do we care? J. Thomas Wren (1995) put together a book to help leaders define leadership for themselves. The Leader's ...show more content... As Gardner (1990) points out "Most men and women go through their lives using no more than a fraction – usually a rather small fraction – of the potentialities within them" (p. 7). I happen to agree with Gardner on this point. As a teacher you see numerous children who, with the proper training, could be very great, positive leaders; yet due to their home situation or lack of self–confidence these children grow up never knowing they have that possibility inside them. "We can do better. Much, much better" (Gardner, 1990 p. 7). Along with Gardner (1990) Wren introduces Burns (1978) who wrote The Crisis of Leadership. Initially, I thought a crisis in leadership was happening today because according to Burns (1978) "One of the most universal cravings of our time is a hunger for compelling and creative leadership" (p. 8). However, we need to keep in mind that Burns wrote about this in 1978. So leadership and those who lead have been having problems for a number of decades. "If we know all too much about our leader, we know far too little about leadership" (Burns, 1978 p. 9). What Burns was trying to bring to the forefront was the idea that we, as a public, know far too much about the personal lives of our leaders. The media has been able to bring personal situations into our homes that we would not otherwise be Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

A Nation Essay A Nation A nation is said to exist when it could traced its origins through the state, in which it associate itself with, histories. Additionally, the cultural elites must be established and well–versed in writing and speaking the national language. There must also be a valid reason for its claim on a certain territory. It is only when these three requirements are fulfilled will the international community consider their claim for a nation (Hobsbawm, 1990: 37). Disagreements, however, tend to arise in the political community over the definition of a nation. This essay will try to list out the different approaches employed in defining a nation starting from a nation being a natural cultural entity to it being politically and ...show more content... The question on why and how he makes his choice is irrelevant. It is only when he consented to participate in the community will he readily conform to the community norms and values. Society cultural consciousness would then play an important role in dictating the speed of his consent. According to Herder, people become aware of their heritage when they read or listen to myths, legends and even songs. By doing so, the community captures the Volgeist or the spirit of the people. Language is thus seen as an important medium in spreading a community's culture as it contains people traditions and historical memories. Therefore a nation is defined as the unification of people through the sharing of the same cultural heritage (Heywood, 1997: 105). This approach has been met with several criticisms. Firstly, according to Gellner the definition used is too wide (Gellner, 1983: 53). By adopting the above criteria, any social network with the same cultural norms and values are entitled to call themselves as a nation. This would include clubs or any other associations. Another problem encountered by this definition is the impossibility of limiting cultural boundaries. In addition to that Herder's claim of the unification of the people through a common language could be dismissed as most nations have several national languages due to its multicultural population.

What Is A Essay I zipped up my black leather boots, preparing for the frigid cold that was common fall weather in the village of Strebilee. Grabbing my long, royal blue coat, I fished out the golden choker my oldest and bestest (and might I add stupidest) friend, London, had nabbed me from one of his friends' parents' auctioneering business shortly after I'd arrived to the quaint Strebilee from the chest pocket. It wasn't really all that much, just a simple gold strip of fabric secured close by a clasp, but it held importance to me: London had given it to me when we were young, and seven years later, here we were, close as ever. Turns out the same friend who London had gotten the necklace from was in town with his parents, searching for a rare find in ...show more content... Strebilee is cold, plain and simple. In the summer, we have maybe one month without snow. It's relatively nice outside, plants bloom, we don't have to wear coats (though some people still do), and a nice whiskey doesn't have to warm you up (but most people want it anyways). The other eleven months of the year, there's snow, ice, sleet, the occasional hail, more snow, very few winter– blooming plants, long coats, more snow, snow boots, not–snow boots, gloves, hats, enough of rum to go around, and more than enough snow to go around too. Oh, and did I mention Strebilee had snow? As soon as I stepped outside, my innards froze. Then again, that happened every time someone stepped outside of their nice dragon–fire heated homes, so I was beyond used to it. I walked briskly down the pathway from our toasty house into the village center. As usual, Strebilites bustled about, adults shopping and talking, kids loudly having their recess. I wove my way through everyone, dodging elbows and purses and moving with the swishing of coats. I reached the harbor swiftly; it wasn't any less busy, but there were more people who stopped to think about why a young lady would be down at the pier. By the time they'd stopped considering why, however, I'd be out of sight, and soon out of mind. If that didn't work, I'd duck into London's family's tavern, Boar's Beer, and retreat upstairs to find London, or, if he was waiting for me, dash outside with him, ready for a my day to Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Conflict Essay CONFLICTS AND DISPUTES ARE INEVITABLE Conflict is defined as the behaviour due to which people differ in their feelings, thought and/or actions. Collins (1995) states that the conflict is a 'serious disagreement and argument about something important' and also as 'a serious difference between two or more beliefs, ideas or interests' (cf. Kumaraswamy, 1997, p. 96). In general it is believed that conflicts are the underlying cause of disputes. In other words, dispute is a manifestation of the deep rooted conflict. A dispute is defined as 'a class or kind of conflict, which manifests itself in distinct, justifiable issues. It involves disagreement over issues capable of resolution by negotiation, mediation or third party adjudication' ...show more content... So, it is said that a conflict can exist without a dispute but a dispute cannot exist without a conflict (Spangler and Burgess, 2003). Many authors have highlighted the inevitability of conflicts on the other hand it is said that disputes can be prevented or at least can be minimized through proper management. Conflicts are ubiquitous where ever a large number of people are involved i.e. where the human relationships proliferate (Kumaraswamy, 1997). People are the principle resource for any commercial project today. Different project managers, engineers, surveyors belonging to different organizations and having different needs, goals and each of them looking to maximize their benefits are brought together to form a team. Because of these differences in the individuals the conflicts and disputes become inevitable in a project. Conflicts are generally perceived as a negative term but it has both positive and negative sides. Positive conflicts can be helpful to generate new ideas, make innovations, helps people to 'Be real' and creative. But this conflict has to be maintained so that it does not get out of control and bring about dysfunctional consequences. There are large numbers of potential sources that makes conflict inevitable in a project.

What Is Ambition Essay "A dream without ambition is like a car without gas...you're not going anywhere," (Hampton). Ambition is something many people have however many people don't know what the true meaning of ambition is. The dictionary definition of ambition is, "a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work" (Dictionary.com). Ambition has made great leaders since the dawn of time, like Cleopatra, and any great leader adopts, or already possesses, six habits that are found in the minds and hearts of two of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, Nelson Mandela and Gandhi, but ambition can be seen as a two–faced word causing it to have a negative light as well. Humans adapted to change for centuries. Humans adapted to weather, to wars, and to other humans.

Ambition gave her the strength and determination to fight for her kingdom, even when she lost it. Cleopatra lost her kingdom at least twice, almost three times, however, she battled through it and kept getting her kingdom back. Cleopatra's ambition made her a great ancient leader and female leader, "Even at a time when female rulers were no rarity, Cleopatra stood out, the sole woman of her world to rule alone" (Schiff).

What Is A Good Book Essay First of all, what does it take for a book to be considered a "good book?" A good book is something that is well–written and something that can give us new wisdom which we can apply in our lives and in our reality. According to Meagan Frank of Books Make a Difference, A good book is more than just a well–written story. A good book is a treasure trove of humanity so that no matter how often you open a page and start reading, there is still something new to be discovered. A good book is considered a great literature.

As we continue to read more books it is like we continue to experience and do things that are new to us. We learn through experience, experience that we get through reading. In Anne E. Cunningham and Keith E. Stanovich's "What Reading Does for the Mind ", it was stated there that heavy readers tend to display greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were. In line with this, our conversation skills are improved as well because by knowing a lot of new information, we are able to engage in an academic or scholarly conversation wherein we share to other people what we know. In Mario Vargas Llosa 's essay 'Why literature?' he stated that Literature establishes a 'brotherly link' that connects all human beings with a common origin that transcends all temporal barriers. Good books can teach us the customs that we are not familiar with, the norms and ideologies of another ethnicity. In that sense, Literature could serve as a unifying factor among all people, overthrowing stereotypes that gave birth to cultural discrimination, racism and inequity between individuals. At the same time, just like how Literature allows us to appreciate diverse cultures across the world, good books help us to understand different generations of our Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Sometimes personalities can change for the good the bad in many friendships. You can never change a person through a friendship. Differences can set you apart. The definition of a friend has changed over the years therefore that could be a contributing factor to why we can count our friend on one hand. Think about it! When separating from friends for a while physically values and beliefs start to change. Many may argue that is not true, but I will say I have lost many friends do to personality changes and belief. Some reasons maybe be because everyone in college likes to smoke and drink. I am not a fan of either which I believe is gross so I drop many friends due to that reason. I have also lost a lot of friends due to the ways they act towards me or others when different people are around. In the urban world we call that being "fake." Fake is another way of saying you aren't what you claim to be. You don't stay true to yourself and totally honest. On the other side people can change for the good to help each other in a friendship. Friendships can gain trust through one another in due to the people you are around. In a relationship trust is being able tell a secret under confidence to other people hoping they wont tell.

What is War? Essay WORLD WAR 2 What is war? Webster's Encyclopedia Dictionary describes it as: "an armed clash between nations or factions in the same nation." That's how a dictionary describes it, but in fact, it is something much worse. War is the epitome of what is wrong with human nature. War is devastating. Perhaps no other war was as devastating as World War II. (1)"World War II killed more people, destroyed more property, disrupted more lives, and had more far–reaching consequences than any other war in history. It brought about the downfall of Western Europe as the center of world power and led to the rise of the Soviet Union. The development of the atomic bomb in 1945 would begin nuclear war."

The sinking of the Athena did however serve as a warning to the world that the Germans would stop at nothing to break British control of the seas. So on September 3, 1939, Britain along with France declared war on Germany. The US however remained neutral. (3)"Roosevelt said that "Even a neutral cannot be asked to close his mind or his conscience.' Within weeks he asked Congress to lift the Neutrality Acts' arms embargo that prevented Britain and France from buying American weapons." The United States was determined to avoid war though. World War I had left the US billions of dollars in foreign debts that couldn't be collected. There were also moral reparations on the part of the American people. (4)"A congressional investigation revealed that the US manufacturers had made large profits by supplying arms and credit to the Allies during the years of 1914–1917. This lead to the notion that the US' participation in World War I had been arranged by 'Merchants of Death'". While the US watched the struggle in Europe, our relationship with China grew worse. The US resented the growth of the Japanese sea and air power in the pacific area. If Japan gained control of eastern Asia it would surely interfere with American trade and business interests there.

It is when a pregnant woman intentionally gets rid of her child before it is fully developed. Abortion is an extremely topical issue and has been practised for many centuries, although it only became legal in Britain in 1967. This was because an act was passed to encourage women not to have dangerous 'Back Street Abortions'. People who had no medical experience often carried these out. The Abortion Act allowed abortions to be carried out, if two doctors agreed that: · The mother's life was in danger · Grave permanent injury to the mother's ...show more content... Many organisations offer advice and support for different situations. 'LIFE' is a pro–life organisation that believe that abortion shouldn't be practised. They teach that every life is sacred and that it begins right at the moment of conception. However, there are pro–choice groups who believe that it is the woman's own choice. Christians are found supporting both causes. A. (ii) Explain what Christian teachings might be used in a discussion about abortion. When forming an opinion on an issue such as abortion, a Christian would look towards many things to help them. Jesus and his teachings in the New Testament are extremely important to Christians, as many of the ideas on lifestyle are still relevant today. Although Jesus never actually used the term abortion, nor does he preach about the idea of getting rid of an unborn child he does tell us that we 'Shall not kill'. This rule could be applied to abortion, as you are technically killing someone. There are frequent reminders in the New Testament to love God and you neighbour as yourself. With this lesson in mind, Christians could form the opinion that if they were an unborn baby, would they want someone to choose whether they would ever actually make it to being a human being in the real world.

An Effective, Professional Teacher Essay Introduction The statement 'Teaching – reflections, questions, decisions' sums up what it means to be an effective teacher. Teachers are constantly making decisions about professionalism and ethics, teaching strategies, classroom management, and how to keep their students motivated. These decisions can have a major impact on student learning and how effective they are as teachers.

It is essential to encompass all of these behaviours and standards to succeed in being an effective teacher, as they are in an authoritative position and therefore need to lead by example. Teacher professionalism is also dependant on professional judgement, which involves making decisions on what is the right thing to do in certain situations, and ethical behaviour. The code of ethics is based on respect, caring, integrity, diligence and open communication (Groundwater–Smith, Ewing & Le Cornu, 2007, p. 332).

For example, "You observe another teacher publicly humiliate a child who is known to have previously bullied other students. What do you do? Do you say anything?" Ethical dilemmas require teachers to explore all situations and outcomes, and make a decision on what is right and just. Professionalism and ethics together, as relevant to teachers, demands all of these appropriate behaviours and responses in any circumstance (Whitton et al., 2010, p. 123).
