In the paper, Gunther Kress (Kress, G. 2005) analyzes the affordances and the constraints of moving from a principally print-driven society to a picture driven society. Kress bases on social semiotic hypothesis to represent significance making: Words are (relatively) empty entities-in a semiotic account they are signifiers to be filled with meaning rather than signs full of meaning, and the task of the reader is to fill these relatively vacant entities with her or his meaning. This is the task…

Defining what is eating well is more complex than just its association with health. In fact, the notion of eating well, or how do we eat well can be approached from various perspective. King (2007) argued that the definition of eating well could be addressed not only from the nutritional aspect but also from the aesthetic and moral perspective.

In William Shakespeare’s great tragedy, Hamlet, women are portrayed in a negative light through both their roles and status which stigmatizes them. Shakespeare has eliminated the validity of female voice and has transferred all power to the men in the play. He demonstrates this through the only two female characters presented, Ophelia and Gertrude, through their undervalued thoughts and opinions, shortage of freedom, and their lack of ownership. The women in this tragedy are often overlooked…

Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau are two of the most influential transcendentalist writers of their time. Both men rejected the idea that knowledge could be fully disocvered through sheer experience and observation and asserted that some information can only be discovered through extrasensory perceptions such as intuition or spirituality.

Physical evidence has a significant foundation in law enforcement and the judicial system. It is necessary for physical and circumstantial evidence to ensure the most accurate outcome of a trial. In some cases, the evidence is not as exact or direct. It appeared to me in the readings the authors were trying to show were all evidence must be exact or not be included in the trial. If this is the case, we would not need a court system. In the readings it appeared to me the authors were trying…
