Convergence

this commonly held view by asserting that the tragedy was predestined. In “The Convergence of the Twain”, Thomas Hardy uses the ironic isolation, natural indifference, and lack of foresight to convey the idea that pride and vanity ultimately lead to ruin. The collision of the Titanic and iceberg is used as a specific man versus nature conflict in order to illustrate this inevitability. The isolation within “The Convergence of the Twain” is an internal state, independent of physical…

In Thomas Hardy’s poem “The Convergence of the Twain,” it exemplifies the sinking of the Titanic in April of 1912. “The Convergence of the Twain” was published in 1915 where it differentiates the sinking of the Titanic while and after it sunk. Hardy uses poetic devices such as imagery and structure to convey his attitude toward the sinking of the Titanic. In the first half of the poem––more specifically stanzas 1-5––Hardy depicts the ship at the bottom of the ocean by using imagery. In…

Convergence versus Divergence In order to properly examine the two different types of evolution for the games is important to know what these two forms of evolution really mean. First off convergent evolution is the independent or separate evolution of similar parts in two different games throughout history. The games are changed by locations or people to be assimilated otherwise they will end up rejected because of religious or cultural differences that can be treated as negative. This…

At this point in the semester, Symbolic Convergence Theory best describes my community. I am an RA for a fairly close-knit community-- there are only 20 residents on my floor, which has really allowed them to form relationships with one another. My floor has become much closer than I initially anticipated. I often see my residents eating meals together, walking around campus in groups, and spending time with each other on the floor. With that being said, through spending a decent amount of time…

The National Counterintelligence Strategy The National Counterintelligence Strategy from the NCIX gives the guidance needed in order to ensure the direction of CI is going the way it should. I think this may be one of the most important objectives on the strategic strategy. But one of the areas that I think it may be lacking is the ability to determine the potential for insider threats that have or had ties to extremist groups. This may be possible for any terror groups or any criminal element…

In accounting terms, the process to harmonize the prevailing accounting standards that are issued by different regulatory bodies is called convergence. Although it is a known fact that the variety of accounting rules and practices around the world is due to the differences in culture, language, religion, education, and ideology and politics. However, the need of a single set of standards for the reporting of financial statements is becoming inevitable. With the significant growth of the…

In this convergence poster there are several things that make up who I am, On the poster there is a picture of me and four rainbow trout that I caught when I was seventh grade. Me and my grandpa went down to roaring river along the Missouri and Arkansas border. It was a weekend early October and we decided it would be nice to get out of town and go do what we love to do, we mostly fish for crappie and sunfish, but we thought it would be interesting to try and fish for trout and with roaring…

Microhistory as a Point of Convergence The issue most often taken with microhistory is that it does not represent the majority, and it is often compared to a biography. Biographies and microhistories have more similarities than differences, but those differences transform them completely. Jill Lepore conveys this succinctly, writing, If biography is largely founded on a belief in the singularity and significance of an individual's life and his contribution to history, microhistory is founded…
