When examining the plays written by Shakespeare there are many instances where the common theme of marriage is shows. In the times of the 1600’s the ceremony of marriage was very common and done in a very orderly and strict fashion. In those time there was no aspects of a genuine love and heart felt marriage but instead they were seen as an agreement between the two parties. In many of the works of Shakespeare many characters deal with the issue of marriage and you begin to see the toll if had on many women involved in these types of marriages. In many different reviews, Journals and other scholarly works shows that there is proof of how the idea of women played a major role in the lives of women and how they were to be treated.†¦show more content†¦The first question he ask Don Pedro is Claudio says â€Å"Hath Leonato any son, my Lord† (1.1.240). To add to this point the next line which Don Pedro responds by saying â€Å"No child but Hero. She’s his on ly heir. Dost thou affect her, Claudio† (1.1.241). This here proves that Claudio has a motive to be part in this contractual marriage with hero because of the fact that since she is the only heir and will be her Husband he then knows that he will than get all the amenities of Leonato. Since Claudio asked the question if Leonato had any sons strongly showed the simple fact that he wanted to be involved for the simple fact it was going to benefit him. In the end of it all it truly shows how he uses it to benefit him whether or not the love was genuine or just to further himself. The point here is that Claudio’s loyalty to the marriage† can be understood by his reaction to what Don John tells him about Hero. In the initial conversation Don John about accuses Hero of being disloyal to Claudio. Claudio states â€Å"if there be any impediment , I pray you discover it†(3.277). The language Claudio uses is straight from the couple that â€Å"if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do now confess† (The Form of Solemnization of Matrimony† in The Book of Common Prayer). Claudio wants there to be reason for an impediment. As the conversation between the two men continues Don John becomes very direct about why he’s accusing Hero. Don John

Hree Most Pressing Issues in Organizational Behavior

Three most pressing issues in Organizational Behavior and the practices that might be implemented Organization behavior is the study of behaviors and attitudes of people in an organization. After all human behaviors and attitudes determine effectiveness of any organization. The approach used in studying OB is the system approach. In other words, this approach interprets people-organization relationships in terms of the whole person, whole group, whole organization, and whole social system. Its purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human objectives, organizational objectives, and social objectives.

Taylor set forth his theory in two books (1903 and 1911) and a large number of articles. Many of his applications, according to John B. Miner (2001) have not met the test of time. One that has survived involves breaking down of movements into their component parts and prescribing methods for their execution. It has prospered today in the form of what is known as ‘Industrial Engineering’. â€Å"Although time and motion study can be traced to well before Taylor, he and those who worked with him perfected the approach and sold it to the world (Reeves, Duncan and Ginter 2001)† (Miner 127). Taylor’s thoughts were rooted in an industrial era characterized by mass production that relied on an assembly-line approach to manufacturing. In such a system of mass production, efficiency was gained through specialization where each worker focused on a single task (Chance and Chance, p.5) Mc Gregor’s model is quite relevant in business approach today.

Biophysical Process and Health Assessment

Question: Discuss about the Biophysical Process and Health Assessment. Answer: Reflection After the review of Jacks case, as a nurse practitioner I have learnt a lot concerning importance of having broad nursing knowledge base. The story shows the need of conducting extensive medical checkup based on physical examination of a patient. The nurse dealing with jack applies nursing knowledge base to come up with a diagnosis (Estes, 2014). The nurse performs careful medical examination on jack regardless of the unavailability of medical equipment in the remote clinic. As nurse practitioner it is important to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on your patient and put into consideration all the available clues. I have learnt that as a nurse I should take hid of all ethical issues. Jennys story highlights the importance of collecting detailed medical history of a patient. The nurse in the story asks Pamela and Jenny questions gathering important information leading to best diagnosis. As a nurse practitioner have learnt the need to think appropriately before making decisions in future as seen in this case. Freds story is full of ethical issues and social issues which should be considered. The nurse in this case applies the two issues in understanding Freds problem. As a nurse practitioner I have learnt that it is important to consider social issues to make the diagnosis. In the consideration of the three cases it is important as a nurse practitioner to apply the nursing knowledge base, cultural and ethical issues as well as comprehensive examinations.

Robinson Crusoe And Friday Essays - Fiction, English-language Films

Robinson Crusoe And Friday The "primitive" Friday demonstrates exceedingly good values superior to those of the "civilized" Crusoe. Friday's honesty, loyalty, and natural innocence are unequaled by Crusoe's deceptiveness, lack of trust in Friday, and pessimistic ideas. Early life in "civilization" gives Crusoe preconceptions that don't allow for simple, natural thinking. Yet, Friday, raised as a "savage", is given to simple childlike behavior. When compared with Crusoe, Friday triumphs with his good-natured morals. Friday's honesty is apparent, not only to the reader, but also to Crusoe. Crusoe's own description of Friday is evidence of this, "I had a singular satisfaction in the fellow himself: his simple, unfeigned honesty appeared to me more and more every day"(148). Crusoe specifies Friday's honesty as "simple" and "unfeigned". It seems Crusoe would have expected a "savage" to be misleading, also a sign of his preconceptions. Again, when Crusoe is jealous of Friday at his expression of joy at the thought of his own country, Crusoe "found everything he said was so honest and so innocent, that I could find nothing to nourish my suspicion"(152). Crusoe's jealousy stems from his "civilized" thinking, and Friday's pure expression of truth comes from his "primitive" ways. Yet, when Friday surprises Crusoe with a simple and innocent question Crusoe "pretended not to hear him"(150). Crusoe is surprised and attempts to deceive Friday to forget the question. It seems Crusoe's natural reaction in that situation is to lie. Friday has an honesty that Crusoe cannot compete with. In everything that Friday says and does, he relates only the truth because Friday does not know differently. Furthermore, part of this honesty comes from Friday's deep loyalty to Crusoe. Friday's servitude to Crusoe is demonstrated immediately after his rescue when Friday put his head on the ground and put Crusoe's foot on his head. From that point on, Friday is completely loyal to Crusoe. After a good while, Crusoe is even aware of this fact, "I daresay he would have sacrificed his life to save mine upon any occasion whatsoever"(147). Yet, Crusoe doesn't trust Friday, "While my jealousy of him lasted, you may be sure I was every day pumping him, to see if he would discover any of the new thoughts which I suspected were in him"(152), he thinks Friday would leave and become a cannibal and Crusoe. Crusoe later realizes his mistake, "the honest, grateful creature...to my full satisfaction"(153). Next, Crusoe doesn't trust Friday in the beginning and places him outside to sleep, "I had placed a kind of trap door...every night"(145). Crusoe again is blinded by his "civilized" thoughts and thinks Friday may attempt to kill and eat him. Eventually Crusoe knows better, "For never man had a more faithful, loving, sincere, servant than Friday was to me: without passions, sullenness, or designs, perfectly obliged and engaged; his very affections were tied to me, like those of a child to a father"(145). Crusoe describes Friday as the perfect servant, almost like a father to a son. Friday would give his life for Crusoe, yet Crusoe distrusts him. Only Crusoe's "civilized" and therefore evil thoughts on humanity could cause him to distrust such an honest servant. Crusoe spent time in "civilization" and thinks about things in an experienced, and rather pessimistic way. Friday, on the other hand, is innocent of society and hasn't been taught anyway to think. Crusoe believes that man has a tendency to do evil, "the devil...cause us to run upon our destruction by our own choice"(150). He thinks anyone, especially a "savage" would be tempted by the devil. Yet when he tries to explain to Friday about the devil, Crusoe exposes Friday's pure and natural innocence, "but there appeared nothing of this kind in the notion of an evil spirit, of his origin, his being, his nature, and above all, of his inclination to do evil, and to draw us in to do so too"(150). Friday is very pure and simple person. He boldly asks questions about God, "if God much stronger, much might as the wicked devil, why God no kill the devil, so make him no more do wicked"(150). Friday had "listened with great seriousness" and now had thought with his pure and simple mind, and baffled Crusoe "I scarce knew what to say to him"(150). All of Friday's questions and thoughts on God are natural and simple, owing to his "primitive" upbringing. Friday surmounts and even shocks Crusoe in his honesty, loyalty, and innocence. Friday manifests all of his qualities to a point beyond Crusoe, because Friday embraces these values with a "primitive" sense, not tainted by "civilization". It
