The play certainly raises important moral issues in its detailed descriptions of Christianity. Measure for Measure can also be called a problem play, because it brings up a difficulty and then seeks to solve it. However, the difficulty lays in misunderstandings and hidden identities as it the moral question of the play.…

    doleful comments followed, but Elise couldn’t bear it anymore. Shoving her way to the spot closest to the splintering plank of wood, Elise took a shaky breath. Normally she was a very rational person, but as they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. Driving all consequences to the back of her mind, Elise began to claw at the wood, widening the puncture in the wall of the rail-train.

    critical measures to protect operating systems, including their specific examples are hereby provided. Most of the disadvantages pertain to costs, time and efforts upon implementation of the critical measures for system protection and security. Moreover, there are no absolute solutions for cyber-attacks, intrusion and hi-jacking of systems and information, except that prevention can substantially reduce these occurrences (Silberschatz, et al., 2005, p. 604).
