Sibling rivalry exists in the majority of households. Often, one sibling feels that the other is being favored by one parent, or both. This can create shaky relationships between brothers and sisters, but it can also bring them closer together. This universal truth is portrayed in both short stories, “The Charmer” by Budge Wilson, and “Forgiveness in Families” by Alice Munroe. The protagonists of both these stories feel that their brothers are being favored by their mothers, and they have to…
Often, heroes and protagonists in works of literature reflect the values and morals of their cultures. These cultural values usually reflect the time at which the works were written, and as these characters progress through their journeys (formally known as the Monomythic Cycle as described by Joseph Campbell), the reader, upon reading their tales learns about the character’s values and morals based on the culture that surrounded them at the time. The periods of the Early and Late Middle Ages…

Theory of Change Management Peter Senge promotes the idea of a Learning Organization as a theory of change management in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’. Senge (2006) encourages the “rethinking of corporate philosophy” and a commitment to individual learning to establish a learning organization. Individual learning, according to Senge (2006), does not guarantee a learning organization, but without it, learning organization is impossible. Individual learning, therefore, is key to the…

This song sounds like it’s about a person who fell in love with someone they had a fling with but they were too nervous to tell them.
