“The Following”
Summary of the Source
Charles Manson is a concise maniac who led a cultural cult that killed based on Manson’s “prophetic” message in the Beatles song “Helter Skelter.” He believed that there was going to be a war between blacks and whites; the blacks would execute the whites. Manson and “The Family” would be safe throughout this war because of their underground safe house. However, after winning this war, blacks would not have the knowledge of how to rule properly, therefore, the remaining white people would take over with Manson as the head of the new world. When this did not begin, Manson and his many followers or “family” that also believed in “Helter Skelter” helped him to kill well-known people in hopes that it would start the race war. Manson connects to a few theorists’ definition of religion, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim. Manson identified more with attitude toward religion, while his followers demonstrated Durkheim’s theory better. However, Manson’s view was not a clear match for Eliade’s view of religion.

Emile Durkheim “believed religion was the very cement that held society together.” His view of religion was all about community, while Manson’s followers were the community. “The Family” became a cult-type society and according to Durkheim, each society has its’ own rituals that strengthen their dependence on the society. Manson’s followers had to prove to Manson that they were dedicated to him by taking part in horrendous acts of violence leading to murder. Durkheim might say that the killing was a ritualistic act in their self made society. “For Durkheim, religion and society are inseparable and –to each other virtually indispensable” (Pals 86). Perhaps the ...

...inary, random, and unimportant. Of course, to Eliade, the profane did not hold as much meaning as the sacred; while Durkheim was more concerned about society and its needs. He described profane as vanishing and fragile, while the sacred was eternal and full of substance. He also tied religion to archaic people, “those who have lived in the world of nature,” (Pals 198). Archaic people want to live life in the model of the divine because they have a deep longing for paradise, and to be close to God. …Believed people looked back with a feeling of nostalgia along with the sacred and profane.

Environmental impact analysis-: Community environmental impact analysis is a systematic process for identifying, describing and evaluating community natural and human resources & makes improvement about their management. The main points which are considered under the environmental impact analysis-: • We have to point out the resources in our community which are affected by the human developments processes. • Find the alternative of the resources & make the course plane to implement it. • Determine
with the external and internal environment analysis for Tata Motors through the use of PEST analysis and Competitors analysis. The internal environment has been studied by employing tools like SWOT analysis, core competence analysis and key factors for success analysis. The analysis of financial resources of Tata Motors has been undertaken and review of strategic options for Tata Motors have been analyzed using Ansoff and Generic strategies matrix. Analysis of strategic choice and cost reduction and

Determine the unknown voltage, Current and Direction of flow across the Circuit. Evaluate Pro’s and Con’s of the Mesh and Thevenin’s Theorem. Assumptions : In the Above Circuit current (I1 , I2 , I3 ) is assumed to be flowing in the conventional direction i.e Clockwise . The Source voltage denoted by XX has been assumed to be 86V. Mesh Analysis Mesh analysis is
They MeanIn assessing the significance of various financial data, managers often engage in ratio analysis, the process of determining and evaluating financial ratios. A financial ratio is a relationship that indicates something about a company's activities, such as the ratio between the company's current assets and current liabilities or between its accounts receivable and its annual sales. The basic source for these ratios is the company's financial statements that contain figures on assets, liabilities
for American laborers? The investigation includes the evaluation of labor unions both prior to and following the Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire. Legislation following this notorious event will also be analyzed in order to properly determine the extent to which this event catalyzed progress for the workers’ rights movement, and its overall impact on workers’ rights. Primary and secondary sources such as articles, books, and journals will be used throughout this investigation to determine the overall
and hence the scheme was called nodal. Nodes in Nodal Integral Method is however similar to the elements of the finite element approach, but the nodes have finite volumes and not only the points in the space of independent variables [5]. An error analysis on NIM methodology is performed to establish the convergence of the solution of two-dimensional heat diffusion equation to the exact solution [1]. Motivation Some of the fluid flow, heat flow and particle flow problems are the most complex problems
Introduction Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is one of many specialties in the field of forensic science; the science of bloodstain pattern analysis use scientific knowledge from other fields to solve problems. BPA also uses the scientific method to examine bloodstain evidence at a crime scene where blood is present by gathering information, observing, documenting, analyzing, evaluating, and technical or peer reviewing. A bloodstain pattern analysis job is to collect, categorize and interpret the
and secondary sources, sampling methods, strategy of the research. Every research has some limitations and this chapter will also discuss the limitation of the study by detecting it and comparing with different approaching methods which can be used. 3.2. Data Analysis Method Qualitative and Quantitative these are the two types of approach to the any research analysis for the any data which can be used in research. The research which only uses the numbers to do the research analysis is called Quantitative
general review of approach will be explained. BASF’s product which is under business case evaluation comes from a business unit called EV and EV is not producing the chemicals needed for BASF’s innovation chemistry by its own. Hence EV will need to source the chemical from another business unit called EM. During this the product will be charged at transfer price as per BASF transfer price guidelines. Using the ‘Transfer Price calculation method selection’ (proposed my BASF’s ZZ) we can conclude that
RATIO AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANAYLSIS Ratio and Financial Statement Analysis can be seen as a means to an end i.e. Ratio analysis is a financial tool to derive a Financial Statement. Financial Analysis are accounting reports in respect of economic activities prepared periodically to measure the performance of the business. It could also be said to be the analysis established for evaluating the performance of companies. Such criteria are used as parameters in deciding whether the organisation is
Life Cycle Analysis "A buildings environmental impact extends from global factors, such as ozone depletion, to the quality of the environment inside the property. These impacts arise from decisions made at all stages of the buildings life, including materials manufacture, site selection, design, construction, occupation and ultimately demolition."

bases on suspicions and no hard evidence. The Guillotine was also depicted on pins which were worn by supporters of the French Revolution. The Guillotine was a very significant tool and a minimum of 440,000 were executed via the Guillotine. In my analysis, the Guillotine added to the motto of the French Revolution “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death.” The Guillotine made death equal and assured liberty and
