The Data Protection Act 1998 places controls on the length of time, who has access, and how much personal information can be stored on an individual by organisations, businesses and the Government. Any private information must be kept secure in compliance with the law. This ensures the individual’s right to privacy and confidentiality is upheld. (Gov.uk.
People drink milk thinking it is the ultimate health drink that will make them stronger, healthier and prevent disease. Most people drink milk primarily for the calcium, however, milk actually deprives the body of calcium because the body is forced to neutralize the animal proteins that make milk acidic (Goldschmidt). Milk introduces an excess of hormones that force the body to produce an excess of new cells, thereby causing cancer. Populations that consume more milk have a higher rate degenerative bone diseases (Kradjin). While dairy farmers may want you to believe that milk does a body good the reality is that milk does your body more harm than good.

The American regional theatre system built a strong foundation for many years with a loyal audience base of season subscribers. The income and devotion generated by subscribers gave these theatre companies a sturdy financial foundation allowing these organizations to grow and develop artistically ambitious seasons. Recently the world is experiencing a time of cultural, economic and societal change. Between 2005-2010 American regional theatres reported an 8.5 percent drop in season subscriptions and other funding sources are shifting (Voss, 2013). How do these once robust arts organizations stay viable with their artistic mission in the face of declining audience base of season subscribers?
Helen Nicholson expressed that ‘T.I.E’s primary objective was to use theatre as a tool to explore ideas, feelings and values’ titling the medium as the ‘Theatre of ideas’ (2009, p24). It is within this sentiment in which our group formed its key intentions for our piece. As a company, our objective was to focus on children’s emotional response to a story based performance of T.I.E. Due to the educational aspect of T.I.E we decided upon the historical story of Pocahontas, allowing the group to retell and alter the well-known animated Disney film with an additional historical feature. The group designed and collaborated the performance to concentrate on the underlying issue of identity and to make the audience question, what it is that makes each person an individual? Pocahontas is forced to choose between her family home and a new life in England with her partner John Smith, and it is through this dilemma in which the group directed the overall performance. Desiring to create a ‘hybrid’ (Wooster, 2007, p1) piece of theatre, the group wished to include both historical and issue based techniques within the story, thus causing the children to think critically about the piece with both factual and emotional arguments. Throughout this essay I will examine the development process within our rehearsals and the group’s use of audience participation through different Theatre and Education techniques, in order to achieve our company’s aims.

“All the world’s a stage.” This quote hangs above the door of the famous Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre housed many of Shakespeare’s plays from 1600 to 1613, during the golden years of his business. The concept of the Globe was originally born out of strife over the lease of the theatre that Shakespeare previously performed in (Michael). It has since become an icon of Shakespeare’s story as a playwright. Shakespeare enthusiasts around the world know of the Globe Theatre for the story of its construction, its design, and the purpose it served.
Total Theatre is a genre which believes all areas of performance bear equal importance to a shows success. From the pieces physicality and text to the stages; set, lighting and sound, no element is an afterthought of the creative process. A concept originally established by director and Composer Richard Wagner in the mid-19th century as Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), it is a concept that has influenced many practitioners including pioneering practitioner Antonin Artaud.
"Electronic monitoring has deep ethical implications with respect to workplace outcomes such as employee perceptions of privacy rights, fairness judgments, quality of work-life, and stress-related illness." (Alder, Schminke, Noel, Kuenzi, 2008, p. 481). Most of the ethical implications of employee monitoring fall under an employee's idea of morality. An employee may feel that it is unethical to invade their privacy, even though that employee is using company property. "A common reaction to the suggestion that employers may monitor such internal (to the firm) communications is that this is an abridgement of the constitutional right to free speech guaranteed by the first amendment." (Hodson, Englander, & Englander, 1999, para

Workplace privacy has been another issue under controversy some parts believes that the employees have the right to privacy while most court cases have rule that the employer have the right the employees email. There are both legal and ethical aspects that ascribe to the privacy policy (Sipior, & Ward, 1995). This is anchored in the fact that the employers ought to monitor a number of things that
When it comes to the workplace privacy debate, employees question what rights employers have pertaining to privacy. This means there is a fine line between supporters and critics. Debates on this subject are happening everyday in a large percentage of companies throughout the United States. Supporters mainly consist of standard employees in a company; they want the laws that apply to privacy outside of the workplace to work inside as well. The critics are mainly upper management in companies, they believe “It is absolutely essential for employers to monitor their workers closely in order to encourage productivity and suppress potential problems” (Workplace Privacy). This usually happens through monitoring emails, phone calls, and even Internet use. Some employers have taken it as far as punishing workers for their activities taken place off the clock.
Theatre is a more language driven medium, while movies and television are driven by what you see. Theatre relies solely on excellent script, and acting. Theatre has a live element, a more heightened sense of realism. Some argue that we are losing the very essence of theatre, its live-ness, because of recorded media seeping into plays and performances (Trueman). With technology things can more easily go wrong. Lyn Gardner says that if the show relies too heavily on technology, it can cause performances to be canceled completely due to technical glitches that instead of adding to performances, the technology has become the show. The spectacle has began to make actors obsolete, leaving the audience to feel alienated and passive to the performance rather than part of it as they should feel
The soil profile is made up of layers called horizons. The thickness of horizons vary but they are usually parallel with the earth’s surface. Weathering of soil starts at the top and goes down so the most changed soil is the top layer and the deeper layers are more original to the parent material. Sometimes soil horizons stand out but other times it is hard to se...
