Any of various products of the intellect that have commercial value, including copyrighted property such as literary or artistic works, and ideational property, such as patents, business methods, and industrial processes. 2. The set of rights protecting such works and property from unlawful infringement.(5) With the idea, that an idea can be owned, monopolized, the task of simply doing something nice and altruistic can be found to have possible ethical hazards. It is easy to be initially incredulous to think that providing a procedure to repair someone of a medical condition could somehow be immoral or illegal. After all how many would find it reasonable to find someone choking, while knowing how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver (Henry Heimlich D.O.B. 2/3/1920 living!!!), and decide that because the procedure is potentially protected as intellectual property one will not render aid? It could become easy to consider ways of circumventing such monopolies. On the flip side Doctors, R&D and others may of put many efforts into treating obstetric fistula. When entrusting our most valued possession, our body to another, we’d all like to have confidence that the professionals cutting, administering medicines are not only competent, but have empirically verified the positives and negatives of whatever procedure. Empirical verification however, costs money, time and effort. There are not many enterprises that can function without some type of profit.…
Starting with the first passage, “A Strange Twist of Fate”, Kevin and Penny saved each others’ lives in different ways. First of all, the settings were different, where Kevin was rescued at a ballpark, and Penny at a restaurant in Depew, N.Y.. This also strengthens the dumb luck of the situation because what are the chances that the exact two people would be caught in completely different vicinities, playing the exact opposite role. Another difference was the injury, with Kevin hit in the chest…
In Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, the reader is pulled in two directions as he or she decides for himself or herself if the ghosts are projections of the governess’ unconscious or if they are truly haunting both Miles and Flora. These two differing viewpoints are a direct result of James’ use of ambiguity of the text, which contribute to the overall eerie and uncanny feeling produced. The development of the uncanny and use of ambiguity within the text opens up a new perspective of the text…
In Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, the reader is pulled in two directions as he or she must decide for himself or herself if the ghosts are simply projections of the governess’ unconscious or if they are truly haunting both Miles and Flora. These two differing viewpoints are a direct result of James’ use of ambiguity of the text. James’ story then changes from a simple ghost story about a governess, two ghosts, and two children to a story filled with ambiguity and questions, which contribute…

“Ever’body’s askin’ that. What we comin’ to? Seems to me we don’t never come to nothin’. Always on the way. Always goin’ and goin’,” Casy stated in chapter 13 of the Grapes of Wrath. The end of the novel is strange, and incredibly open-ended. It is never revealed what happens to the Joads or who finally makes it in the end. It isn’t even known if the starving man actually survives. The final act and image in the novel is also a bit out there, with Rose of Sharon suckling this grown man to keep…
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is a heart wrenching and eye opening novel. Steinbeck gives a clear and precise picture with the words he employs. One recurring perspective, abundantly obvious, is prejudism. Anger, fear and misunderstanding flow between the Californians and the Oklahoma immigrants, all of which cause a double-sided prejudice. As the Oklahomans come in droves from their devastated lands and attempt to build a new life for themselves, the Californians angrily look at them…
What does Zinn mean by “Under Control?” What I believe Zinn means by using the phrase “under control” is that the government had the opposite of over control. It is apparent the government lacked control in just about every aspect during this time. Meaning the system was out of control because there was a lack of control. The first indication that the government was loosing control during this time was found in the view of the United States citizens. People no longer had any trust in or showed…

As you know, there were quite a few clues found in a White House trashcan that was very…
