Trajectory

launching of Yuri Gagarin into space in 1967 had greatly embarrassed the United States. This embarrassment prompted President Kennedy to become a man on a mission to propose something bold, something monumental, and something that could change the trajectory of the nation. On May 25, 1961, he announced his goal, one that many perceived to be overly ambitious and most likely impossible, of safely landing a man on the moon and bring him him home by the end of the decade. His mission led to the…

factors. Caught between the Cold War’s power play and the tension between its neighbours, the destiny of Bangladesh was heavily determined by other players. Although it was neither prophesied nor seen as inevitable, certain events in turn steered the trajectory of the history of East Pakistan in the direction of independence. The geographical division of Pakistan during the time of partition put a thousand miles…

The last poem, The Humble Bee by Emerson, is a festively enchanting poem incorporating entertainment through its diction. The poem is very playful as there are many instances of fun and cheerful words describing the humble bumble bee. For example, the title could be a pun. Could be a pun because I'm not certain as to when the word Humble was switched for bumble. Bumble, according to a few sources, is not the original name Charles Darwin used. I do not know for certain whether to believe the…

This week’s reading is basically about the ordinary affects, the term that we may hear before but not really pay attention to. The reading is very interesting that is composed by different vignettes. Many vignettes are the ordinary everyday life and very familiar for me but I have never thought differently. Author Kathleen Stewart is trying to use different vignettes to show how we can think deeply of ordinary everyday life and shift our practical knowledges of intimate experiences. Stewart…

After World War I ended Hitler was assigned by the military as a part of an intelligence unit that kept watch on the various political parties that had risen during the war. Among those was the German Workers Party. This party was one that was prideful in their anti-democratic, anti-communist, and anti-semitic beliefs. “ Its small group of faithful followers assembled each week for the discussion and study of political matters” (Fest 17). Hitler immediately saw how much their views aligned…

spread themselves from Levant to Iberia and Crimea to Naucratis respectively. This colonization process would play a hand in many of the Greek conflicts both domestically and abroad as well has having a profound effect on the cultural and civil trajectories of the mother cities of Hellas. The question to be answered though is why the Greeks first set off on this mass emigration from Greece.

There are certain characteristics that distinguish older workers from other groups of workers. The Sloan Center report that was availed in the year 2009, for example, indicates that the older workers are more productive compared to their young counterparts (MAERTZ, WILEY, LeROUGE, & CAMPION, 2010). The report also states that older employees are more reliable than the young and they have a high degree of loyalty. It has also been noted that job performance usually becomes better with age, and…

I have always agreed with saying that states, “it takes a village to raise a child.” I believe everyone on campus should contribute to the creation of a supportive learning environment which inclusive of all students. Ginsberg (2005) found that in order to establish inclusion students and teachers must feel both respected and linked to one another. On my campus I have taken a leadership role by participating on the Differentiated Instruction committee for the last three years. This committee…

Nurses are often portrayed to the public as task focused medication administers, doctors assistants and hand holders; so when I made the choice to go into the field of nursing, I only had a very small piece of what it actually means to be a nurse. Through my studies and experiences in practice, I have come to realize that for me the role of a nurse is one of greater importance: Empowerment. In school we learn the value of education, communication and empathy, as it relates to advocacy and…

In South Africa, their exchange rate system is set up as floating system. Essentially the rand exchange rate will be determined by the market. Similar to other systems, the Reserve Bank can influence the rate by buying and selling in the foreign exchange market, yet they typically try not to intervene with the market aside from building up foreign exchange reserves (although the Reserve Bank says this is to manage liquidity and not to influence the exchange rate) (Resbank). There has been…
