During a recent experimental production by Annie Dorsen, the sole actor was equipped with small in-ear-monitors that allowed dialogue and cues to be fed to the actor by a computer in real-time (A Piece of Work). Technology of this sort might help accommodate performances by individuals with serious memory issues, allowing them to deliver lines, recover from dropped lines, or know when they are to enter and exit the stage. Alternatively, digital projections of dialogue and stage directions could…

Due to customs, safety, and morals the topic of which firearm should be used for hunting has been discussed between hunters for many decades. Some of the main arguments have to do with being humane, not randomly shooting, and accidents. If the hunter wounds an animal, they can put the animal out of its misery more quickly. Hunters using a semi-automatic won't “spray and pray” - firing blindly without making an effort to aim correctly and hit their target. Manually operated firearms have been…

method is extremely difficult and time consuming to learn by the 1950s it began to lose ground to American Sign Language as the dominant teaching method. In ASL, the deafblind place their hands over a signer’s hands and follow their motions with a finger, which is simpler because the movements are less subtle. As a result of this take over, today only a handful of people in the world still use of the Tadoma Method to speak to one…

Curiosity has always been the leading factor in division making among humanity, traveling, discovering and learning from our experiences to advance our species. If you were to live on a secluded island in the middle of the ocean, unaware of what awaits, if anything, beyond the horizon. Sooner or later your curiosity would get the best of you and eventually you will leave to explore, learn, develop and widen your knowledge of the area around you. The same can be said with Earth’s closest neighbor…

Genocide, the mass slaughter of a group of people based on who they are, can inflict unimaginable harm on the victimized people in many ways. One can not possibly quantify the grotesque, inhumane treatment witnessed in many genocides. Simultaneously, however, many victims are vulnerable to their identities being destroyed and only their will to survive being left intact. One whose identity is altered, even those fortunate enough to survive, still suffer immortally. Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust…

About 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel is his account of what occurred to him and the others around him during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world because the Nazis killed people of any age, the concentration camps had the worst possible conditions, and the Nazis treated the prisoners like animals. One reason the Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world is the Nazis killed people of any age. One piece of…

Aeneid was published in 19 AD, while Caesar was assassinated about 60 years earlier. His legacy may have added an almost legendary element to public perception of his character, like that of Romulus. Therefore, Vergil may have been attempting to trigger his audience’s memory of Caesar’s triumphs and associate them with Augustus in order to bolster his public image. This is likely, considering that Augustus served as Vergil’s patron, as a notable sponsor of art and literature during his rule, and…

“We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs,” Kofi Annan, a 2001 Nobel Price Winner, said, “and that all the world 's people share the benefits of globalization.” Globalization is inevitable and it certainly cannot be stopped, but it can be controlled. In order for the U.S. to receive fair benefits and to finally get back on its feet again, Multinational Corporations should develop a change that will focus not only…

Much later in the novel, the people taken had to run, and work for the SS soldiers and the treatment was brutal and demanding. When The SS forced the prisoners to run and not give up, Wiesel remembers, “Their fingers on the triggers, they did not deprive themselves of this pleasure” (85). This is a euphemism to express a cleaner way of saying that the soldiers loved the pain the men were getting out of themselves while running and the same goes for killing the ones who…
