Face time

the Thoreau’s statement because if a man is constantly working, he never has time to connect deeply with society, nature and himself. Argument #1 Gone are the days in which man could communicate face to face without a computer screen or a phone. These communication rituals have faded into an abyss and have been replaced with the quick and accessible clutches of FaceTime in Skype. Nowadays, we can speak directly to each other through the click of a single button. We are glued to our cameras as we communicate with someone through pixels on a screen. We are use to a quick way of communicating with each other to save time, however, this might not be the most efficient, humane way to communicate. We grew up with applications like Instagram…

4-Chan, another online forum, said this about the changing online world: “We went from a web that was interest-driven, and then we transitioned into a web where the connections were in-person, real-life friendship relationships.” (Krotoski, “Online identity: is authenticity of anonymity more important?”) In general, some of the use and intention of Discord are synonymous; participants use the application for its intended purpose by discussing online gaming. By using it for this purpose, users…

A place one could only get to by flying, and a place very few knew about. It was special to the three of them, and they liked to think that it was their own special place. Cloud Lake was on a floating island, the largest of eleven floating islands, in Distira. The island itself did not have a name, but the lake on it had a name. The Lake was made of water, but it flowed off of the island in a stream that turned into clouds. Thus, Cloud Lake. Some of the animals were crystal, others were…

individuals. The face is a very prominent and important symbolic feature that is often used in many cultures to symbolize important areas of that culture. Many groups alter or add features to the face and or to their body to symbolize either different characteristics of that individual and in some cases to identify that person within their group or cultures. Some ways of doing this is through the practice of facial piercings, tattooing, and scarification. In this presentation I will be talking…

the cornerstone of the business. The dynamics of face play a role in the interpersonal relationships, which determine people’s willingness to bargain or cooperate in business. During communications, Chinese businessmen use indirectness, praising, intermediaries, shaming, and requests to save face and give face (Cardon & Scott, 2003). Honeywell-Bull offers a good example of the importance of saving face. As a hardware company, it had won a chance to negotiate for an order of 100 ATMs from the…

This sounds simple, but every choice has consequences and noninvasive ventilation is no different. When a person is set up in ventilation, he or she faces the chance of getting skin breakdown and producing an ulcer. Some of the ways a patient can get these lesions or ulcers is from having the pressure set too high, wearing the mask for long periods of time without a break, if the mask does not fit properly, and in some cases the body mass index, however, that has not been proven yet. Any one of…

Water rushed around his ears, tossing his body like a ragdoll through the currents. A blurry face stood in front of him, its smile stretching from ear to ear and eyes gleaming brightly. Union had never felt so tired. All the energy had been sucked from his body, leeched out like toxins from his skin. His heavy eyelids closed once more, the breath pulled from his lungs in one long…

the supervisor and employee sit down to complete this process. Once a year the supervisor dances in the middle of the review to speed up the process and be eligible for a small bribe to do more work next year. This process if done correctly, which it rarely is, can be beneficial to the company and the employee by providing honest feedback about good and bad performance areas. It also provides a means for career path development, again when done correctly. Correcting this is one of the biggest…

proudly to your parents? How many of us keep in our memory the happy faces of our loved ones? Conversely, do any of us remember not doing school homework before going to play or watch TV and one of our loved ones caught us in the middle of such disobedience? Do we remember what happened next? Do we remember the face our parent showed to us? Because we failed following rules or morals that our parents told us to follow, did they stop loving us? No, of course not. At most, they gave us a…

Throughout time art has been the main connection between the many generations of people who have roamed earth. Slight and noticeable contours in varying pieces of art tell stories of royalty, reveal the nuances between different culture and present historical facts. Egypt, a country that has literally and figuratively been painting pictures of their world through art since the start of time, have many particular pieces of art that tell more than just seen. The sculpture Mycerinus and his queen,…
