In the alarm stage the body reacts to a stressor by triggering the adrenal gland to produce more cortisol. In the second stage, resistance, the body adapts to the stressor and symptoms either disappear or are reduced. The cortisol levels remain high in the body but stabilize. The final stage occurs if the stressor persists. Exhaustion occurs if…

Literacy definitely played a significant role in the modernization and civilization of the old world. In the beginning, people only used writing as an aid to the memory, but as time passed, it became more than a necessity.

As the century progressed, literacy became an important part of many aspects in society, and people were…

not the dark and death defying tale that author Carlo Collodi originally wrote in his 1883 novel. As is the case with many Disney adaptations, the original story of Pinocchio has been erased from the public consciousness and replaced by that of the adaption.

bit of a deal breaker here. While the other plays in this series have all been previously adapted for television, Henry V has the double whammy of Olivier and Branagh’s on-screen precedents setting two very different benchmarks for all subsequent adaptations to try and match. The director can either meet the challenge head-on or change the rules and present a completely different beast altogether. And so The Hollow Crown came to a close with “The Tragedy of Henry V”. The surprisingly downbeat…

The culture receiving a trait takes what can be absorbed and reject what is not compatible (1954…
