Stakeholders are those groups or individual in society that have a direct interest in the performance and activities of business. The main stakeholders are employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, financiers and the local community. Stakeholders may not hold any formal authority over the organization, but theorists such as Professor Charles Handy believe that a firm’s best long-term interests are served by paying close attention to the needs of each of these stakeholders. The modern view is
Like everything in life, government regulations has its’ pro and cons. It is important that the government have some type of regulation on intermodal transportation, because without regulations things tend to spiral out of control. Too much government regulations can also stifle growth and expansion of the industry. Government tends to regulate different aspects of the intermodal industry, like what modes of transportation should be most frequently used by the industry. Government also regulates
Virginia Woolf’s Between the acts Virginia Woolf uses many images in the Between the Acts. Like the other novels I read in the class, the images in the Between the Acts cannot be separated with the story development, and the images themselves construct the story in the book by dismantling the conventional expectation for the novel. However, Woolf uses common and conventional words and images with an experimental way in this novel. This novel constructs the images and the representation with
can't see anything, but I know there has to be something out there; noises just don't arise on their own. I look all around, searching every bush, tree, and shady spot to try and locate the noises; then, peace and quiet again. The calming sounds of birds chirping, the distant roar of the river, and the wind blowing leaves around, cover up the scary noises that I just heard. The back of my mind just won't forget those eerie noises, and I look all around me every five seconds for some kind of beast
order to quiet the engine. To understand how air can create noise, first consider the way water splashes and makes noise when a wave crashes. In the same way, when two different air streams traveling at extremely high speeds and at different temperatures collide with one another, noise is produced. In addition to the air streams colliding, the air also collides with the components of the engine and nacelle. Another example of air making noise is when wind hits a house. Even in a wind storm with small
sound of the place, an unfamiliar nervous sound of the outboard motors" (White 153). This "nervous" sound suggests the nervousness of adulthood; the anxieties that sweep through the minds of people who have matured. The noise created by the outboard motors reflects the noise inside the man's consciousness. Instead of the "sleepy" sound of the inboard engines used when the man was a child, there were now noisy engines, which cluttered the air around the lake. These sounds constantly reminded the
Death and Dying in DeLillo's White Noise Among other things, Don DeLillo seems completely preoccupied with death and the arduous task of living with the knowledge of death in his novel White Noise. Acceptance of our finite, fragile existence over time is certainly not a phenomenon unique to a single civilization or historical era. Rather than discuss the inescapable mortality that connects all humankind with broad, generalized strokes, DeLillo is concerned with the particular (peculiar?) late
As the pistol shrimp uses its powerful snapping craw as a weapon to hunt, it makes such a noise that it can even alter the sound transmissions of submarines. (BBCWorldwide, 2009) In the video clip “Pistol shrimp sonic weapon” it shows how this snapping shrimp uses its sonic weapon, which is a large claw that snaps to releasing bubbles. (BBCWorldwide, 2009) These bubbles are shot at the shrimp’s prey at such temperature that when their released they can reach the sun’s temperature for a instant. (BBCWorldwide
one enters the exhibition one is immediately overwhelmed by a dense cloud of noise and sounds. How many sounding objects can one put into one space? David Toop defends his approach with the help of a w... ... middle of paper ... ...died hands buffet and slap His head and a scorner spits in His Face. The slapping hands are frozen in mid-air and thus trigger associations with regard to noise. This association with noise is also shown in the scorner’s spit and how it suddenly stops before it reaches
Silence is not simply the absence of sound, not simply the absence of activity; rather, it is the sum of all things that can be heard, seen, or felt. Silence is not simply produced from discipline, not simply produced from anxiety; rather, it involves everything before and everything after - comprising a period of time rather than a single moment. On the other hand, what is silence’s effect? As complex as silence is itself, its effect is complex as well; generally, it serves as an amplifier to that
second eldest son. "As he approached us, he began to make uncouth noises, and held up his hands to show us his fingers, which were webbed to the first knuckle, like a duck's foot. When he saw me draw back, he began to crow delightedly" (Cather, 24). Everyone who encounters this poor boy instantly views him as `crazy'. All of his actions are presented as strange. "The crazy boy, seeing the food, began to make soft, gurgling noises and stroked his stomach" (Cather, 60), and evidently he is. "The

Silence- Short Story “Aghhahahhhah!” screaming, Jade sprinted towards the exit door, she tried to push it open; but it wouldn’t obey her. Jade started to run around the library. She was petrified, scared as well as alone. The thing—or whatever it was gaining on her. She managed to halt, and then turn the corner. She stopped. Nothing— nothing was there; no door; no windows; just a blank black wide wall. She was stuck! Twisting her head, in front of her, stood the nightmare that she
Sarvar Aliyev First Draft How it sounds to be 18. Presumably, everyone knows that seeing and hearing are the two main senses of people and the fundamentals of our life. These two sentiments are the essences for all human efforts. Although, both of these two higher senses might seem evenly significant, it is not always figured out that hearing has the more substantial effect in identifying the character of our lives. A dog barks, a sheep bleats
There are laws in place, by the federal government, to ensure there is fair competition among businesses. The laws create fairness through: prevention of monopolies, trade regulations, production ethics, and fixed and pricing. The significant anti-trust laws are: Federal Trade and Commission, Clayton Anti-trust act, Celler Kefauver act, and Sherman Anti-trust act. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), was created in 1914. The job of the FTC is to eliminate non-competitive business practices and to
from those affected by the airports; noise. Simply, ‘noise’ is defined as unwanted sound. Sound is typically measured in what are known as “decibel” units, which reflect intensity, or pressure (Stevenson, p.2). Noise has been shown to affect health by causing both psychological and physiological damage, most notably deafness. Numerous studies conducted since the early 1960s (when the fist studies on its affects were commissioned) now conclude that excess noise can indeed produce permanent hearing
The Death of Identity in DeLillo's White Noise In addition to addressing the premonitory electricity of death, the title of Don DeLillo's White Noise alludes to another, subtler, sort of white noise - the muted death of suburban white identity. College-on-the-Hill is not only an elite academic promontory, but also a bastion for white flight in which Jack Gladney's family has taken refuge. Instead of John Winthrop's clear City-on-a-Hill morality, DeLillo presents us with J.A.K. Gladney's
farming accident almost kills Aaron and necessitates the amputation of his leg. With his leg severed by a harvester, driven by his father, Aaron is continually haunted. He relives the incident through a nightmare of his: “first the noise- the machine’s noise- would have to come, closer and closer and... then the pain, so terrible that the brain in it’s mysterious wisdom shut down the system... just after the scream'; (Gault 60). Forced to have his leg amputated, “the surgeons

In our busy lives we often forget to stop and listen to the wonderful sounds our ancestors heard everyday. Our lives are now filled with the constant hum of a car going by or the constant drum of airplanes overhead among other noises. In the video package “Sounds of Silence” Gordon Hampton encourages people to experience nature and all of its magnificent sounds. Hampton shows though, that even where he wishes his square inch of silence is, he can’t escape the sounds of an industrialized nation.
