In contemporary, Bengali theatre is based on the experiments done by some playwrights like Utpal Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore and Badal Sircar. Utpal Dutt was a well-known actor, director and playwright. He founded ‘Little Theatre Group’ in 1947 and enacted many plays of Shakespeare and Brecht in English. In India, Dutt had introduced “Epic Theatre” (discussed in the later part of this chapter) first time to the Indian spectators. He highlighted ‘Epic theatre’ not only in his career of direction but also in his dramatic writing. His plays are an outcome of strong impact of Marx on literature and society. His famous plays, which are based on the dramatic devices of Epic theatre are – Kallol (1965), Manusher Adhikar, Louha Manob (1964), Tiner Toloar and Maha-Bidroha, etc. But the difference between Brecht and Dutt is that of the way they used Epic theatre on stage. Brecht has directly presented class struggle on the stage while Dutt has presented Epic theatre on stage by mixing it with theatrical tradition of India. Many of the features of Epic theatre were already present in traditional ...
Suzanna Berne’s article “Where Nothing Says Everything” discusses the sequence of events that Berne encounters as she attempts to pay her respects to the 9/11 tragedy. From the elements within her writing, Berne demonstrates the significant meaning of the World Trade Center’s absence. It is from her personal experience and play on words that she is able to accurately express her thesis. Within her piece, Suzanna Berne comes to the conclusion that the impact of 9/11 on the American people forces them to unite in order to overcome the loss of the World Trade Center along with the people who went down with it.
The McIntyre vs. Balentine is one of the landmark cases in the United States because of its contribution to the adoption of a system of modified comparative fault in Tennessee. Based on this system, a plaintiff may receive compensation for damages where his/her fault is less than the defendant’s fault. Notably, the recovery of damages by the plaintiff is lessened to reflect his/her extent of fault. In situations involving several tortfeasors, a plaintiff’s recovery of damages is valid so long as his/her fault is less than the total fault of all tortfeasors (“Comparative Fault & The Empty Chair”, n.d.). The lawsuit was determined on the basis of contributory negligence doctrine and comparative negligence. The application of these doctrines as fueled by the need to determine the essential difference in the fault or legal duty between a party or non-party and negligent tortfeasor.
Celtic Gaul and Capetian/Valois France were similar in many different ways. Both, for the most part, occupied a large part of modern-day France. Both Gaul and the Capetians/Valois were very involved with foreign relations and were actively involved in invasions: both as invaders and invades. In this research paper, the political, social, economic and religious aspects of life in Celtic Gaul and Capetian/Valois France will be examined. In addition, notable leaders in each system will be examined, including many of the kings of the Capetian Dynasty and the House of Valois. The first half of this paper will cover the life and times of Celtic Gaul, which will include topics such as the Druids, civitates, the Romans and the religious aspects of the period. The second half of this paper will include the lineage and dynasties of the Capetian and Valois dynasties, as well as topics such as feudalism, the economics of the ruling classes, Catholicism, the Pope, and the church as a whole.
In act five, scene one, Theseus gives a speech to Hippolyta regarding the foolish dreams Helena, Lysander, Demetrius, and Hermia just had. Before this, Helena, Lysander, Demetrius and Hermia all wake up cloudy and confused about being anointed by the flower and falling in love with the wrong person. Lysander and Hermia recount their plan of escaping and the forest as well as Helena who chose to follow them into the forest. Egeus refuses to allow Lysander’s love for Hermia, but Theseus rules against Egeus allowing Lysander and Hermia and Demetrius and Helena to marry. Before the wedding Theseus talks to Hippolyta about the confusing stories of these dazed lovers. Theseus believes these people have overactive imaginations and dismisses what they say as foolish.
Percy Bysse Shelley’s Ode to the West Wind is a dramatization of man’s useless and “dead thoughts” (63) and Shelley’s desire from the Autumn wind to drive these “over the universe” (65) so that not only he but man can start anew. The thoughts are first compared to the leaves of trees but as the poem progresses the thoughts are paralleled with the clouds and finally the “sapless foliage of the ocean” (40). Shelley personifies himself with the seasons of the Earth and begs the West Wind to drive him away thus allowing him to lost and become the very seasons. In the end Shelley’s metamorphosis is realized and he becomes the very wind and the power with which he humanized throughout the poem.
It is the job of a supervisor in the Army to preserve the force in many different ways. One of those is with The Army Body Fat Composition Program. Every soldier in the Army follows the same weight standards and goes into the program if they are overweight. Not many people know about Army has a program in place for soldiers who do not meet the weight and height requirements. . As we are in different time it is harder to recruit for the Army. It was said by Stew Smith (n.d.), “A shocking 20 percent of all male recruits and 40 percent of female recruits are too heavy to enter into the military ranks.” As a new supervisor it is your job to know about the Army’s overweight program. If a new supervisor does not know the process, it can be really bad for him and the soldier that is over weight.
Together with his colleagues at the University of Washington, Jeffrey R. Harris developed and published an article regarding the most appropriate means for disseminating evidence-based practices. The framework was geared towards spreading evidence-based practices that focus on health promotion. The authors argued that the basis for widespread adoption of evidence-based health promotion practices is mainly dependent on developing and evaluating effective dissemination approaches. Consequently, they created a practical framework based on existing literature on dissemination and their experiences in conducting such practices. The framework is commonly known as the Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC) framework, which was developed by the Prevention Research Center at the University of Washington and funded by the Center for Disease Control. CDC funded the development of this evidence-based health promotion framework to carry out research on community-based prevention and management of chronic diseases.
In Canada, child protection is basically a responsibility of the provincial and territorial governments through various activities such as investigating child protection concerns. As part of their responsibilities to promote child protection, the provincial and territorial governments may place children or young under care. This involves placing them in varying living arrangements such as group home, foster home, independent living program, receiving homes, and relatives’ home. Placing children in foster care seems to be the most common way used by various governments in Canada to address child protection concerns. However, this type of care has had significant challenges in the recent past, particularly in light of children or young people who age out of foster care. These challenges are attributed to the lack of legislative and policy initiatives taken to address children who age out of foster care in Canada. As a result of lack of such provisions, these children end up having lack of further education as they are forced into adulthood. In some cases, children who age out of foster care in Canada get involved in criminal activities. As the number of children who age out foster care increases, Canadian government should enact appropriate measures, especially legislation and policy to promote the well-being of these children as they grow into adulthood.
Hate crimes can be described as criminal activities that are perceived to be fueled by prejudice against and hostility towards the victim based on an individual characteristic. In most cases, hate crimes are motivated by gender, disability, sexual orientation, race, identity, and religion or faith. The increase in hate crimes in the recent past has not only made it a major issue that needs to be addressed in the modern society but has also attracted several legislative measures to deal with it. However, dealing with this major societal issue not only requires these legislative measures but also necessitate creative and critical thinking to enhance the effectiveness of initiatives taken to address it. The development of suitable initiatives through creative and critical thinking requires evaluating and refining resolutions.
It is common to hear that young adults need guidance such as help throughout school, but what is less often heard is about the guidance needed by all humans. This particular guidance is known as ethics which is where the right and wrong of decisions is based upon moral principles. This set of moral principles plays a major role throughout the life of people. Many intellectual figures who has observed the art of being human such as some philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, and more are involved with ethics. Learning from these figures can really help understand the importance of ethics; some will preach the importance of ethics in people individually or in an entire society. Ethics is an aspect of being a modernized human and is a necessity for a magnitude of reasons.
Preparing for the future never hurts those who have faith of there even being one. Nonetheless, it calms the nerves of meaningless stresses and frustrations that tend to lead us to the brink of insanity. Many might agree that living the moment would be the best way to spend one’s day when not knowing of there being a tomorrow, but what they forget to question themselves about is, how will they face the consequences that resulted from their choice when a tomorrow does come. Being realistic in one's choice of how to spend their day, without knowing of there being a tomorrow, doesn't necessarily mean that they are wasting what they have now, and not living it to the fullest. On the contrary, it means quite the opposite of that notion. Those who live their today’s to its fullest in fear of there not being a tomorrow, only trap themselves into a state of anxiety and fear. Preparation and reasonable thoughts simply tend to quell the frustration experienced by those who live in fear of there not being a future. Although it may be a gamble, it’s always better to be prepared and expectant of whether there might or might not be a tomorrow.

Project schedule and risk management are some of the most important components of project management. These components play a crucial role in project planning, which is a process used to organize various areas of a project such as workloads and management of the project team. Project schedule basically refers to a listing of the activities or tasks, milestones, and deliverables of a project that includes the expected start and finish dates. In essence, a project schedule is a tool that provides information about the tasks to be carried out, required resources to perform these tasks, and the timeframes in which each task will be completed (“Project Scheduling”, n.d.). Risk management is a process through which a project manager and team predicts risks, estimates impacts of these risks on the project, and describe reactions to these issues. This process usually involves the preparation of a risk management plan or outline in order to accomplish these goals. In attempts to avoid the evaluation becoming stale and failure to reflect actual probable risks of the project, risk management plans should be reviewed periodically by the project team.
The modern business environment is characterized by communication that is carried out electronically because of the rapid technological advancements. The most commonly used means of electronic communication include e-mail, social network platforms like Facebook, and video chat. The increased use of these electronic platforms for communication has contributed to the emergence of virtual communication in the workplace. The advantages of virtual communication in the workplace include increased productivity, increased connectivity regardless of distance, and improved access to information. On the contrary, virtual communication in the workplace has resulted in loss of personal communication and interactions and increased misunderstanding or miscommunication of messages. Electronic communication platforms are also used to send and receive messages in virtual working environments. The increased use of technology in the virtual workplace has contributed to the emergence of e-tailing, which enhances e-commerce.
Theatre as we know it now was born more than two thousand years ago and has gone through many streams until it reached the current modernity. Among these streams is the avant-garde theatre. This theatre achieved a break in the traditional theatre and became the forefront of a new experimental theatre. Therefore it is necessary to ask how this theatre started, what impact it had on society and if this type of theatre is still common in our modern era.
