W.B Yeat's Essay
Joanne Klados I believe that William Butler Yeats shows while desire is a destructive force, human experience will never be reached without it. This memorable idea has been influenced by the principles of Romanticism and is most evident in the poetic techniques used in "The Wild Swans at Coole", "The Second Coming" and "Leda and the Swan". or (worded differently) William Butler Yeats was deeply troubled by the Anglo-Irish conflict and influenced by the principles of Romanticism, and I believe that it is these concerns shape the memorable idea that while desire is a destructive force, human experience will never be reached with it. "The Wild Swans at Coole", "The Second Coming" and "Leda and the Swan", all explore Modern anxieties about the state of the contemporary world through the use of poetic techniques. "The Wild Swans at Coole" adheres to the highly structured and rhyming nature of the Victorian style which Yeats commonly employs, rejecting the modernistic styles of his time. Referring to Yeats' Book A Vision, Yeats' refers to desire as ' the image of what we wish to become.' In this poem Yeats' reflects upon his romantic conquests and dreams from the viewpoint of an ageing man, about the desire for things that he wanted, but, in most cases, they were things he could never have. Yeats begins his poem with images of nature that are clearly inspired by earlier

Aspects of Racism
Aspects of Racism Today we live in a multicultural society, which means a nation is made out of several ethnic groups, with different cultures. But why was there xenophobia and racial hatred between peoples and why does it still exist? What really is "foreign", and what effect does it have on young people and young adults. And the most important question is: What is racism? I will in the course of my essay examine these issues. Firstly, I would like to define the term racism generally and talk about its characteristics: Racism is an ideology that uses real or fictitious differences between two ethnic groups for the benefit of the Prosecutor and for the detriment of the victims. Racism wants the victims to ascribe to all kinds of bad properties, to prove their negativity and shows the positivism of the prosecutor at the same time. Racism is an absolute ideology, because it explains the differences for definitive and in general. For example, all coloured people are for all time inferior to the white population in mental capacity. This attitude always causes, therefore, a hierarchy of the society. It justifies and legitimizes an injustice against the victims group. We differentiate several types of racism. The biological racism relates, as its name suggests, to biological differences (skin colour, skull shape, etc.) A racist abuses biology to the devaluation of its victims.
What is a hero?
SAT Essay Question - December Prompt: Again and again we hear the complaint that we have no heroes anymore. Heroes--people who should be admired for their great courage or noble achievements--are no longer recognized in our modern world. Many people, in fact, believe that heroes existed only in the past. But this belief is wrong. Because more praise is given to the latest technological innovation than to one individual's heroic achievements, we may not be aware of our heroes, but we do have them. Question: Is it possible to be a hero in the modern world? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. The statement that heroes, admirable and noble people, no longer exist in the modern world is an erroneous statement. Heroes aren't as obvious as one would think. This contributes to the fallacious assumption that there are no modern heroes. Heroes aren't stereotypes who wear tights and can fly, or someone who is always one hundred percent brave or noble. In fact, a hero can be someone who simply has the strength and the audacity to shy away from conformity, and stand for what they think is right. I have experienced these modern day heroes in my own studies and observations. A modern day hero I am familiar with is Greg Mortenson, a
Lord of the Flies: The Unsuccessful Adaptation
Lord of the Flies: The Unsuccessful Adaptation The Da Vinci Code, The Colour Purple, The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings - long is the list of famous, classic novels that have transformed into equally classic motion pictures. In our increasingly media-aware society, it is not uncommon to hear news of books becoming multi-million dollar productions on the big screen. Countless have been successful, however, a select few have failed to follow suit in their attempts to reach epic 'Harry-Potter-like-success'. Such is the fate of The Lord of the Flies, a movie adaptation based on William Golding's classic novel of the same name. Unfortunately, The Lord of the Flies movie, unlike its novel counterpart, fails to excite the imagination of audiences, due to its failure at capturing the true spirit of the novel. Overall, when comparing the Lord of the Flies movie and novel, the novel is superior due to it attention to detail, its emphasis on themes, and its focus on character development. To begin with, the Lord of the Flies movie lacks important details from the novel that help contribute to Golding's main message. For instance, there are evident differences in how the situation and setting are introduced in both the novel and the movie. The novel starts off with young British schoolboys, who have suffered a plane crash with no adult left alive. The boys scatter around the island

The lifestyles of UK residents have undergone some substantial changes over the past few decades. Among the most notable changes are those that have taken place in the patterns of leisure activity for a large proportion of the population. In this report I will cover a review and an analyses current demand for those products and services that serve the leisure activities market, including audio-visual and computer equipment, sports equipment and games, as well as cultural and recreational services provided by cinemas, theatres, libraries and museums. The bar chart blow shows the percentage of consumer spending. As we can see the goods/.products have decreased since 1990 and the amount of services have increased. Over the past 25 years, increases in disposable income and consumer expenditure have brought about steady growth in leisure markets. This growth in demand has been sustained by the continued development of products that have relied for their success on technical developments such as CDs, videos, DVDs, the Internet and digital radio and television. Changes in leisure lifestyles have also been supported by the development of concepts such as branded restaurants, multiplex cinemas and fitness
Media in the United Kingdom
) 'The press has a responsibility to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.' Discuss this view of the role of newspapers. The United Kingdom operates as a liberal democracy; thus certain rights and freedom of individuals are guaranteed. Just like in any other democracy, this cannot be done so entirely through the means of the government. Instead, we need the media. Without the media, true democracy cannot be experienced; as only when the freedom of speech is not suppressed can the public be informed and the government be scrutinised. This country has one of the highest newspaper readerships in the world. Indeed, they are one of the main forms of media and readers can choose from a variety of newspapers broadly covering a wide spectrum of political opinions. The roles of the newspapers are clear - they must inform the public, hold politicians accountable to their actions and scrutinise the government. However, what has been disputed is the responsibility of the media; increasingly, the public are worried about how accurate and how true the newspapers are. But what is the truth? It seems as if it is too subjective of a word for it to be used as a standard to judge the newspapers on! Especially in politics, it is all about opinions - there are little facts. Of cause, all newspapers have a bias. It is only natural for them to want to convince you their
Aids
Aids HIV/AIDS Somewhere among the million children who go to New York's publicly financed schools is a seven-year-old child suffering from AIDS. A special health and education panel had decided, on the strength of the guidelines issued by the federal Centers for Disease Control, that the child would be no danger to his classmates. Yet, when the school year started on September 9th, several thousand parents in two school districts in the borough of Queens kept their children at home. Fear of plague can be as pernicious, and contagious, as the plague itself(Fear of dying 1). This article was written in 1985. Since then much has been found out about AIDS. Not enough for a cure though. There probably will be no cure found in the near future because the technology needed is not available. AIDS cases were first identified in 1981,in the United States. Researchers have traced cases back to 1959. There are millions of diagnosed cases worldwide, but there is no cure (Drotman 163). There are about a million people in the United States who are currently infected with HIV (HIV/AIDS 1). It infects the population heavily in some areas of the country and very lightly in other areas. No race, sex, social class, or age is immune (AIDS Understanding 10). AIDS has killed more Americans than the Vietnam War, which killed 58,000(AIDS Understanding 10). AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency
The Influence of Leaders
The Influence of Leaders A leader is a person whose example is followed, or the inspiration or head of a movement, such as a political party. Whether it be through an implicit message or simply telling us to do something, leaders affect us in our day-to-day lives. There are leaders with good intentions and other leaders that may not direct us in a good direction, however may still have the same positive objectives. It is our choice to decide if we want to follow the examples of leaders in our past, our present or even a friend that may be a very powerful leader in the future. In school, students learn about past leaders and how they have changed our world for better or for worse as well as their inspiration, motivation, and responsibilities to accomplish the goals they set. Present leaders are the same, however different in some ways. They have the knowledge of the positive and negative outcomes of past figures and they also have different ways of expanding their beliefs to more and more people each day. Also, most leaders today are associated to politics and usually stand for one strong meaning, however the average, regular person can also be a leader to many. Past leaders are well known to many people. Throughout our lives we hear and learn about history and how it has changed humankind, most commonly in school. The qualities of becoming a leader seem to grow over time as
