“Lean In” by Sheryl Sandberg, which discussed about gender being in the workplace. Critics’ criticized about how Sandberg was urging women to adapt to the damaged system instead of demanding corporate America adjust to women’s needs. For Sandberg cynics is that business leaders across America are busy building a feminist workplace that allows women to thrive in their careers without having be involved too much. One of the biggest problems is employers not seeing women as individuals. Due to many…

When considering what the main reason that the 1905 Revolution failed was, we must understand that there were many reasons that ultimately contributed to its failure. The armed forces remained loyal to the Tsar, ensuring that the rebels did not get out of hand. The revolutionaries had differing political opinions which meant that it was impossible for them to be united, making them easy targets to be wiped out. The October Manifesto seemed to be the solution that many of the revolutionaries were…

Barack Obama was first brought into office in 2009 and has held the position for the last six years. There have been forty-five presidents of the United States, but prior to him, they had all been white. A new comer to the post with many disliking him, this speech was pivotal, an opportunity to assert his authority and to assure the people of America that he was not just suitable for the job but also a visionary president. Obama managed this by using a variety of paralinguistic features, far…

If realism is pessimism, then Hobbes’ remedy for the state of nature is a deeply pessimistic one. But, in all honesty, I would not agree with this statement because, while yes it is slightly pessimistic, I view it as seen from more of a realistic standpoint in that it is unbiased and what predominately happens in human life. In life, there are pessimistic events and optimistic events, mostly though, are the events that fall into a category that is neither pessimistic nor optimistic; as is…

One particular debate that has bedeviled humanity since its inception is the question of the nature of human morality. We as humans argue about the source of morality: most religious fundamentalists argue that morality comes from a deity, whereas secularists tend to argue that morality comes from within and is subjective. We also argue about its objectivity, and many will attest that their moral code is a paragon above all others. Morality is a code by which most sane humans live their lives; it…

character traits. Time and time again Jordan is described as being beautiful with “slender, golden arms” (Fitzgerald 19). Though her beauty is built up continually, little is developed in regards to her character, other than her being a cold-hearted, cynic. Fitzgerald’s character, Jordan Baker, can be described as shallow in all forms of the word. She is also revealed to be a cheat, ramping up her game on the green illegally, immorally even, on more than one occasion (162). Throughout the…

I argue that it should be taken into consideration that a woman who has no love interest, has a strong personality, and is a capable fighter, is the main character in a huge Hollywood film. The film dedicates time to her development from a cynic to a hero able to unify and lead Rebellion forces. This character, who is heroic, unsexualized, and active, challenges stereotypes of women as passive sexual objects (Mulvey 837). She leads the Rebellion and the story. Despite its poor performance…

Along with knowing the schedule comes monitoring the progress as the project moves forward and making changes to ensure that everything stays on track and goes according to the plan. Tran also dealt with scheduling as it is mentioned that there are cynics who felt that the original schedule was unfair and the deadlines were impossible to begin with. This casts doubt on Tran’s scheduling and organisation and sequencing of tasks, it also paints a picture that he was unable to sell the schedule…
