Describe the treatments available to help infertile couples to have children There are a variety of treatments available to help infertile couples to have children as infertility is increasingly becoming a recognised problem. Infertility is the term used to describe the inability to conceive or the inability to carry a pregnancy to a live child after regular sexual intercourse without the use of contraception. If you continue to have sexual intercourse without contraception for a year or more and still cannot have a child you are generally deemed infertile. Therefore if you are fertile you have the ability to have children of your own through sexual intercourse without contraceptives. The problems of infertility are now becoming greater as it affects over 10% of couples hoping to have children. One in ten of these cases of infertility are inexplicable which means that we can not explain why they are infertile because there is no apparent reason. When couples are told that one of them, or both, are infertile I imagine that this takes time to sink in and for them to acknowledge what this actually means. For most couples that were actually planning to have a child it would be very hard to take and they would be feeling distraught. One of the partners may feel slightly resentful to the partner who is infertile if it had been that important for them to have a child. The reason why
Comparisons between Marco and Rodolfo in 'A View From the Bridge'
In the play A View from the Bridge, Arthur Miller portrays Marco and Rodolfo both similarly and differently as they adopt significant roles in furthering the plot development and bringing forward Miller's ideas on masculinity, violence, Sicilian values and justice. While Marco and Rodolfo have both illegally come to America for work, their personalities, their strengths and their sense of justice differ. Meanwhile, Marco acts as the antagonist and Rodolfo's presence gives rise to the conflict. Upon the cousins' arrival, Miller makes it clear that Marco and Rodolfo are both illegal immigrants who have surreptitiously travelled to USA for work. Rodolfo asks Eddie "How much can a man make? We work hard, we work all day, all night - ". Rodolfo demonstrates that he is eager to work and gives the reader the impression that he hopes to live the American dream by emphasizing that he is willing to "work hard". As America is prospering in the age of affluence, many immigrants including Rodolfo and Marco believe that as long as one works hard, one will be rewarded with good pay. Marco tells Beatrice "I could send [my family] a little more if I stay here." Marco's wish to stay temporarily in the Carbone household is connected with money, which indicates that he, like Rodolfo, is concerned about employment and pecuniary issues. Although they are brothers, Marco and Rodolfo have
What makes a good soap opera?
What makes a good soap opera? A soap opera is a television show that goes on air over a period of time, usually more than a year depending on its success. It usually has a theme story and the whole show revolves around that story. The story may vary from one soap opera to another. It may be a comedy series, a thriller or even a reality series. Whatever the type, soap is always based on a theme that is usually the most influencing factor for its success. There are however, various other factors on which the success of a soap opera depends. As stated earlier, the most important part of a soap is its story or theme. The theme must be something interesting and unique. It may not always be relevant to human life or society but it should always be something unique or if not unique, something strikingly interesting for an audience tot watch it over the full period of time it goes on air. One of the successful formulae for a theme may be family life which the soaps like Indian serials like "Kyoki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" or the hit American show "Friends" have successfully used and thus become a household name today. Although a good theme is the basis of a good soap opera, a good theme may not always be the success formula. A good theme may be irrelevant if it is not directed well. There are several examples of shows which have good theme but are not successful like the bulk of
Nuclear technology may be a useful substance that can produce great amounts of energy, but if used by the wrong hands, it may be a deadly weapon
Jae Woo Lee Chemistry One World Essay Nuclear technology is something that scientists consider an essential type of research in the field of future science. From the time since Marie Currie had found the radioactive material, radium, the technology in this field drastically increased. During World War 2, the solution to end Japan’s tenacious resist of giving up was the atomic bomb that Albert Einstein had invented. This bomb included high processed (back then) nuclear technology. But in the current world we live in, North Korea has been constantly threatening South Korea with its developed Nuclear Technology. Nuclear technology may be a useful substance that can produce great amounts of energy, but if used by the wrong hands, it may be a deadly weapon. But even though the technology may be deadly, it is essential for current science. 21st century North Korea, after making the truce at 1953 with South Korea, has been using most of its money on improving its military powers which includes nuclear technology. According to official North Korea media, about 15.8% of the state budget has been used every year for the military. North Korea is known to carry fissile material for up to 10 nuclear missiles that can be deployed on intermediate range locations. It may not be a problem if North Korea kept these warheads for self-defense, but it is a problem when they threaten other
How do the love poems you have read show that love can be a very complex emotion?"Love forgives the lover even his lust" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche.
How do the love poems you have read show that love can be a very complex emotion? "Love forgives the lover even his lust" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche. Many philosophers have tried to define love. However, the definition of love is far from being straight-forward. Love is a deeply complicated emotion which branches out other different emotions. Love is one of the few emotions that can completely change a person's life. It can bring about true happiness, contentment and tranquility. However it can also bring about sorrows and pains when it is unrequited. Such an emotion, which can bring about opposing feelings such as joy and devastation, is love. It is a complex emotion. The poems "A Birthday", "When we two parted", "La Belle Dame sans Merci", "How do I love thee" and "My last Duchess" unleash to the readers the complexity of love. Each of the poems show us love in one of its many various natures and with a close study of these poems we can come to understand the multifaceted and complex nature of love. Each poem has various emotions that the poet wishes to express to the readers. In "A Birthday", Christina Rossetti uses various similes and imagery to convey her happiness and ecstasy due to her newly born love. The poet tries to express herself through the heavy use of comparisons, showing us that even when it brings joy, love remains a complex emotion. On the other hand, the
I will try to find a formula linking P (perimeter), D (dots enclosed) and T (number of triangles used to make a shape). Later on in this investigation T will be substituted for Q
GCSE Maths Coursework - Shapes Investigation Summary I am doing an investigation to look at shapes made up of other shapes (starting with triangles, then going on squares and hexagons. I will try to find the relationship between the perimeter (in cm), dots enclosed and the amount of shapes (i.e. triangles etc.) used to make a shape. From this, I will try to find a formula linking P (perimeter), D (dots enclosed) and T (number of triangles used to make a shape). Later on in this investigation T will be substituted for Q (squares) and H (hexagons) used to make a shape. Other letters used in my formulas and equations are X (T, Q or H), and Y (the number of sides a shape has). I have decided not to use S for squares, as it is possible it could be mistaken for 5, when put into a formula. After this, I will try to find a formula that links the number of shapes, P and D that will work with any tessellating shape - my 'universal' formula. I anticipate that for this to work I will have to include that number of sides of the shapes I use in my formula. Method I will first draw out all possible shapes using, for example, 16 triangles, avoiding drawing those shapes with the same properties of T, P and D, as this is pointless (i.e. those arranged in the same way but say, on their side. I will attach these drawings to the front of each section. From this, I will make a list of all
“Othello” is a play of violent contrasts of character, language and mood. Discuss these and any other contrasts you have found in act 1.
"Othello" is a play of violent contrasts of character, language and mood. Discuss these and any other contrasts you have found in act 1. Othello, the character, in act 1 is put across to the audience as a character who is dislikeable. This is done by Iago, who "hates the moor". When we finally meet Othello (in line 17 of Act I. II) the audience can see one of the first major contrasts of the play. Othello is not the man that he is made out to be and is in fact the opposite of what Iago made him out to be. This contrast of character between Othello and Iago continues throughout the play, and becomes more obvious as the play continues. Shakespeare seems to want to give clear definitions of good and evil within act I. II. He does this by making Othello and Iago complete opposites of one another. Furthermore Shakespeare shows the audience this good-evil struggle by emphasizing he good points of Othello and the way Iago conspires against "the moor". "I follow him to serve my turn upon him", this quotation shows not only the hatred that Iago has for Othello but the way the he plots against him. Conversely, Othello seems to do nothing wrong. He is not in the scene (scene I) at all to prevent what's being said about him. "...my perfect soul shall manifest me rightly." This shows more contrast. He is saying that he has nothing to hide and he will tell all to anyone that asks, however
Discuss the merits and limitations of a psychotherapeutic paradigm.
Discuss the merits and limitations of a psychotherapeutic paradigm. The psychodynamic paradigm. When discussing the psychological system there are certain concepts which need to be defined, the first of these being the psyche. Freud traditionally defined the psyche as a two component entity, composed of the conscious and unconscious. Later on he changes this to a three component structure now consisting of the super-ego, ego and the id. His 'structural' theory attempts to bring together both biological and non physical (minds), and explains all three sub sections in this way. The Id is a correspondence of the unconscious in some sense and is a representative of some of the basic instinctual features of the psyche such as desires. The second 'stage' is called the Ego which can be described as the conscious mind and is linked with rational thought., it has been said that this is the intermediary between the id and super ego (i.e. what the self wants and what in reality the self can get) or sometimes described as the conflict between the devil and the angel in the mind. The third sub section is the superego which has been built up with the individual's interpretations of parents and others that they have relationships with. This is sometimes described as the 'voice of the parents and community'. The psychodynamic paradigm suggests that from birth to maturity individuals move

Identity and Community In the two novels Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and All Quite on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, both explore the notion of identity and how it is essential to have a community in order to have one's own identity. Achebe is able to portray this through his character of Okonkwo and his relationship towards his Ibo culture and community. Remarque is able to portray this through the German soldiers who are fighting in World War I. Even though both stories come from two very different sceneries, both share a common ground when it comes to the relationship between Identity and Community. In Achebe's novel, we are introduces to the Ibo culture and the clan of Umofia. In the community of Umofia, their community is based on individual achievements and that every individual achievement makes the community stronger. These communities' highest respects are towards these achievements, which is why community members yearn to acquire achievements. Community is by far the most important aspect in Ibo culture, which is why they speak in proverbs as a way to indirectly get something across, rather than directly saying something, which can lead to offending another community member. When a member is offended it can lead to a dispute, which is then taken the court system to be settled. The court system is a way of strengthening the community. Within this
The Impression that the British faced the Blitz with courage and unity is a myth.
3. Source D, is a picture taken in Coventry in November 1940, just after an air raid. It shows major structure destruction to large buildings and people looking quite upset and shocked in the street. I feel that Source D supports the evidence of Source B in the sense that both photos show destruction and death, in public places. Source B, is a picture of dead bodies being covered up in a girls school in 1943, which as a result was censored by the government. I feel that theses two sources also support each other in the sense that the bombing was also destructive in town centres and not just restricted to the capital city, London. I feel that Source D both supports and opposes the evidence of Source C. Source C is the picture of a London neighbourhood, in 1941, showing "British grit" in light of a recent air raid, and all smiling at the camera with their thumbs up. At a first look, they contrast as Source D is negative and quite grim, but Source C looks positive and determined. However, the effects of the bombing are similar in both: we can clearly see that both have damage to belongings, and show how the bombing has occurred in densely populated areas. I also feel that these two sources also show how looting was quite a common occurrence, where people would take belongings from the wreckages. I say this as in Source D, the caption was "sorting personal property" and in the
