Conflict in A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen
In every play, there is always conflict. Without it, the story would
simply be dull and boring. There would be no lessons learnt and
nothing that keeps the story going. Everyone has different opinions
and perceptions about particular things and this is why conflict
occurs – everyone is human and that is the reality. The different
kinds of conflict include the conflict between individuals, within the
individual and conflict with society.
In Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, there is evidence that all
three of these kinds of conflict exists.
Firstly, Helmer objectifies Nora. For example; “My darling. No one
else’s. My sweetheart, my treasure.” (Act 3 Lines 207-208). He also
called her names like “my little songbird… my little squirrel” (Act 1
Lines7-10) and “little featherbrain” (Act 1 Line 94). This
demonstrates that he really does not know her he only knows his
version of her. All this had led to a dishonest and an unopened
relationship between Helmer and Nora. There are a number occasions
when Nora had lied or misrepresented the truth. She had forged her
father’s signature in order to get money from Krogstad for Torvald
(Helmer) and she had also said things behind Torvald’s back which
reveals her true feelings or personality; “When he’s tired of me
dancing, reciting, dressing up. Then I may need something in reserve”
(Act 1 Lines 410-411). Torvald had a certain view of her (being all
innocent and depe...

Personal Injury claim cases are commonplace throughout the UK. Unfortunately, accidents resulting in personal injury occur frequently in a variety of environments. Whether an accident in an office, a road traffic accident, an agricultural accident, warehouse accident, or a victim of medical/surgical negligence if you can prove that your injury was clearly not your fault and a person in a position of responsibility acted negligently towards you then you can make a compensation claim.
Carpel tunnel is defined as “a pinched nerve in [the] wrist” (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/basics/definition/con-20030332). Approximately a third a dental hygienists have reported having carpel tunnel syndrome (Darby Walsh 151). It is the cause of repetitive movements such as continuously flexing the wrist. Room temperature in another important factor to consider as a cause for carpel tunnel and many other musculoskeletal disorders. The muscles in the body tend to relax at warmer clients, therefore if the temperature of the dental office is too low, it will cause the muscles to become stiff which will consequently lead to repetitive strain injuries (Darby&Walsh 144). Some preventive measures include good posture with feet flat on the ground and thighs parallel to the ground and avoid over flexing the hand and wrist in any way (Darby and walsh
Supraspinatus tendonitis is inflammation of the supraspinatus/rotator cuff tendon and/or the contiguous peritendinous soft tissues, according to Medscape. It is usually identified with shoulder impingement syndrome and is a recognized phase in the second stage of the disease. There are both extrinsic and intrinsic factors that can lead up to this condition. Primary and secondary impingement are what make up the extrinsic factors. Primary impingement is the outcome from increased subacromial loading, trauma, or overhead activities. Secondary impingement is the outcome from rotator cuff overload and muscle imbalance. The condition can also be caused by the diminishing in the supraspinatus outlet space because of the unstable glenohumeral joint.
It is important for business management to develop and promote sound health and safety policies and to consider, not only the legal requirements and the possibility of prosecution, but also the possibility of an employee personal injury claim.
Tendons are tough, flexible, fibrous bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones; if you overuse them they can become sore and painful. This is called tendonitis.
The nineteenth century brought about the results in cultural, political, and socio-economic transformations which distinctly affected the underlying changes in the roles of women, especially in Great Britain. Throughout the era, the private sphere was reacted positively and negatively, gender roles were developed dynamically, and general expectations shaped the way of living. As a result of Industrial revolution, Britain was successfully approved to be the world's most greatest economic power and had changed society and social life.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a feeling of numbness, tingling, or pain in the hand and fingers that’s caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist. Using your hands in a repetitive motion—like typing—for an extended period of time can result in carpal tunnel syndrome. Depending on the severity of the condition, hand surgery may be necessary to treat it.
Your health is the most important thing in any injury. If you are hurt on the job, do not hesitate to seek immediate medical attention. Be honest and complete when filling out forms at medical offices, as these documents can become part of the workers compensation claim and official documentation relevant to your case. You should continue seeing the same doctor's office to keep your evaluations and treatment consistent. Your employer will recommend a specific office or facility based on their worker's comp insurance. Visit this office first, then request a documented referral to your personal doctor's office if you want to change your treatment location. Disagreement with any doctor can happen, but remember that your treatment of these medical professionals could affect your worker's comp claim.
Workplace injuries are primarily responsible for a large number of workers being absent at work and disability. The occurrence of workplace injury varies from the occupation and the industry of the worker. There are many risk factors that are associated with workplace injuries such as age, experience, shift work, consumption of alcohol, fatigue etc. (Swaen et al. 2002).
Nora Helmer is the character in A Doll House who plays the 19th woman and is portrayed as a victim. Michael Meyers said of Henrik Ibsen's plays: "The common denominator in many of Ibsen's dramas is his interest in individuals struggling for and authentic identity in the face of tyrannical social conventions. This conflict often results in his characters being divided between a sense of duty to themselves and their responsibility to others. " (1563) All of the aspects of this quote can be applied to the play A Doll House, in Nora Helmer's character, who throughout much of the play is oppressed, presents an inauthentic identity to the audience and throughout the play attempts to discover her authentic identity.
Nora was raised and socialized by her father. He kept her as a doll and never required or expected much from her. The same treatment continued from her husband Torvald. In a world where nothing is expected from Nora, it is easy to think she is spoiled. But, as many women of that time, she wanted to be seen for the smart and intellectual woman that she was. She basically saved her husband’s life but had to continue to act as Torvald’s fool. Sympathy for Nora is not only possible, it’s practically required.
Accidents at work can occur at any time and there are a lot of consequences and considerations, especially for the injured worker. Industrial workers or people who deal with heavy objects are not the only one at risk of getting into
Although Ibsen portrays A Doll House as a Realistic play due to the societal problems, which include women, illnesses, and laws; he attempts to address society and cause change within the Norwegian society without openly talking about these issues. The actions of characters, such as Nora, represent the fact that an individual can make progress in societal reform. Therefore, Ibsen’s identification and attempt to change society symbolizes a Realistic desire of finding solutions to problems. The ultimate goal of Realism is to better everyday life for the majority of people, while trying to deepen the understanding of society’s problems.
