Whose life is it Anyway Extra Scene
"Whose life is anyway?" is a play written by Brian Clark is about Ken Harrison who after a road accident is paralyzed from the neck down. After six months his condition is more stable but he feels he isn't treated properly by the staff at the hospital. As the doctors battle to save him, he battles to die. Euthanasia is the deliberate killing of a person for the benefit of that person. It is legal in countries like Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Switzerland, the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. It is illegal in Britain because it is the same as committing and it is also classed as a criminal act. This is the theme of the play. Diane Pretty was a mother who was terminally ill with motor neuron and was expected to die soon. She wanted her husband to 'help her die'. She wrote to the director of Public Prosecution so that her husband wouldn't be prosecuted also she wrote to Tony Blair the P.M at the time, these were rejected. She took her case to the European Court of Human Rights, House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights. This attracted huge media attention because euthanasia is such a controversial issue (just like the play)as the government are stopping people from making their own decision whether they want to live or die, this led to huge support for Diane Pretty. She wanted her appeal approved because she wanted to die with 'dignity' just like Ken
Why might firms have an incentive to avoid price competition in oligopoly markets; why nevertheless might price wars breakout, illustrate your answer with relevant examples.
Why might firms have an incentive to avoid price competition in oligopoly markets; why nevertheless might price wars breakout, illustrate your answer with relevant examples. In the UK a few, large firms dominate most industries. These industries are known as oligopoly markets. Oligopoly markets are an example of imperfect competition. It consists of a market structure in which there is a small number of large firms in the industry hence is relatively highly concentrated. Barriers to entry and exit are also likely to exist. In oligopoly markets there is product differentiation, the extent of which depends on the type of product produced. This leads to interdependency, as the actions of one large firm will directly affect another large firm. Therefore, firms are said to be operating under conditions of uncertainty because firms are unable to judge the future actions of their competitors and hence their own firm's future. For example, if an oligopolist firm raises its prices, it could risk loosing market share if its competitors do not follow which would lead to lower profits for that firm. If the firm was to reduce prices, it could risk starting a price war. This is because, other firms are likely to follow, in order to stay competitive. Therefore, all firms in the industry would suffer from a sharp fall in profits as they continuously cut prices to compete with each other.

"Convictions are more dangerous enemies than truths than lies" (Nietzsche). If this is true, why is it that man has an insatiable thirst for truth?
"Convictions are more dangerous enemies than truths than lies" (Nietzsche). If this is true, why is it that man has an insatiable thirst for truth? Could it be that perhaps out own perceptions and opinions are casting shadows on the real validities , or simply that because everyone has a different way of interpreting things, there are an infinite amount of truths to be found.? The real question here is whether personal points of view hinder the search for raw truth or are assets in gaining the most complete forms of deeper understanding. It is our personal perspectives that motivate our innate thirst for knowledge in the first place. Without this disposition to quench out starving opinions, such passionate searches for knowledge and wisdom would never occur. Through examining three types of knowledge: factual knowledge that is considered to be ultimate truth (mathematics and science are often considered part of this group), religion or faith knowledge, and philosophical or contemplative knowledge, one can see the importance of perception as an asset and a creator for the specific knowledge pursuit. Personal perspectives create a never-ending search for truth because it gives every subject an infinite amount of truths; therefore, personal points of view are not only assets in the pursuit of knowledge, but the cause of it itself. Factually, people can perceive things
Discipline is the most useful quality. It means to act in an orderly manner. It means to act strictly according to principle. Discipline involves obedience.
Introduction: Discipline is the most useful quality. It means to act in an orderly manner. It means to act strictly according to principle. Discipline involves obedience. A disciplined man acts strictly in obedience to law or order or principle or an approved formula. Usefulness: Discipline has got immense usefulness for us. Discipline leads to success. If we read in a disciplined way, we can master the subject. If we labour in a disciplined way, we can make better production. A disciplined army has immense advantage over an undisciplined army. A small number of disciplined soldiers can defeat a large number of undisciplined soldiers. A disciplined life gives us healthy and happiness. A disciplined man is a virtuous man. Because discipline never admits any vice. Vice never gets a chance to creep into a disciplined man. Discipline in a school: The foremost duty of the school is to teach discipline to their students.

Which do you think is more true, that the boys bring evil to the island or that the island exerts an evil influence on them? PLAN: Fear of the unknown, evil exerted upon them, the fear of the unknown makes them believe in "the beast", the evil was always in them and because of the circumstances on the island, it takes form as "the beast". Lord of the Flies, a William Golding classic, filled to the brim with a meaningful and descriptive story of boys who become stranded on a desert island. Their survival becomes and endless battle among nature, savagery, and "The Beast", a fantasy nightmare that manifests itself to become the boys biggest fear. Upon arrival on the island, their confrontation with their situation was blunt, although they did try to appoint a chief, some disagreed with the overall result; "and the freckles on Jack's face disappeared under blush of mortification" pg. 30. The truth has suddenly been put this boy into his place, who thought he is the most popular on the island, the fact now shows that he isn't. This is a fear, a fear of interrogation, a threat of overpowering and control, and it is this fear that brings the evil to the island. Jacks need to be in control turns him and his followers into savages, and so brings the downfall of their civilisation. After the landing of the dead parachutist, the fear of the unknown begins. They believe that the
Explain How a Scientific, a Social Constructionist and an Applied Approach Can Shed Light On Contrasting Views About Children and Criminal Responsibility In Book 1.
EXPLAIN HOW A SCIENTIFIC, A SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONIST AND AN APPLIED APPROACH CAN SHED LIGHT ON CONTRASTING VIEWS ABOUT CHILDREN AND CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY IN BOOK 1. A child committing crime, and being held responsible is a huge debate across the globe. Criminal responsibility is the age at which a child can be held responsible for a crime. In the England the age is 10 years, but across Europe the age varies from 8 years to 15 years, not only in age but also regarding the way in which the children are punished for their crime. The Guardian asked a panel of people the question 'the age of criminal responsibility in England is 10, which allowed James Bugler's killers to be prosecuted. Should it be altered?' The responses to this question were printed in the Guardian on 20 June 2001 (quoted in Book 1:page 20). Four particular comments were printed, each consisting of views that encompass the 3 different approaches to childhood: Scientific, social constructionist and applied approach. To discover how these approaches shed light on children and criminal responsibility, it is necessary to use the said article to explore the views each of the panel had and how they relate to the particular approaches, to reveal how each shed's light on children and criminal responsibility. Also relevant are childhood constructions they are three discourses - ways of understanding children, through
A view from the Bridge analysis. Paper Doll Scene (Page 20 line 37 Page 22 line 16) How does Miller make this an important scene?
'Paper Doll' Scene (Page 20 line 37 - Page 22 line 16) How does Miller make this an important scene? The song that Rodolfo sings, 'Paper Doll', plays a key role in this scene and also in the rest of the play. On an obvious level, it draws, attention to Rodolfo, particularly, how feminine he is, which becomes a lot more significant later in the play. The lyrics of the song are also important as they reflect what is actually happening in the play, in particular the line, "it's tough to love a doll that's not your own". Miller could have meant this to mean that Eddie is trying to love Catherine but she belongs to Rodolfo now and also that she was never really his since she is his niece not his daughter. The singing is also significant as it is the first of many things that cause Eddie to hate Rodolfo. Eddie despises the fact that Rodolfo is flirting with Catherine, especially since Rodolfo isn't masculine at all, has a high voice and likes to sing. The final stage direction, 'his [Eddie's] face was puffed with trouble', after watching Rodolfo and Catherine flirting, shows his feelings for them being romantically together, and the use of 'puffed' provokes physical imagery in the readers mind. By telling Catherine to change her shoes, he exerts his power over her, demonstrating to Rodolfo that she belongs to him. Eddie phrases the command more like a request, although he doesn't

Hitchcock deserves his status as an auteur. Explain why this is so making reference to the methods he uses to create suspense and horror in " Psycho". Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born August 13, 1899, Leytonstone, England, and died in 1980 in Los Angeles, USA, of liver and heart problems.

His breakthrough film, "The Lodger", came a year later. Alfred Hitchcock directed over 50 films in total, including "Vertigo" (1958), "Psycho" (1960) and "The Birds" (1963), and they earned him the title "the master of suspense". Hitchcock the Auteur Hitchcock achieved the title "master of suspense" particularly through his mastery of the technical means to build and maintain suspense. He used innovative camerawork (viewpoints and movements), editing techniques, soundtrack, lighting and mise en scene. Because of this unique style, Hitchcock is considered to be an auteur. "Auteur" is a French word meaning "author" and was first used to describe a film director
