Cultural attitudes towards the notion of intellectual property vary by region. Throughout western civilization, for the most part, people do believe that certain words and expression are proprietorial. One can see this in the trademarking and licensing of certain names, terms, and other ideas associated with words. The notion may be slightly absurd, but people in western culture frequently believe that ideas and their wording can belong to either an individual or an organization, and that for people to utilize them they need to be monetarily compensated.
Of course, contemporary trends towards globalization and the ease of access facilitated by mobile devices, the internet, cloud computing, big data, and other technological advancements have certainly had an effect on this line of thought. People still seek to license and protect what they believe to be their rightful intellectual property....
However, it is now significantly easier to gain access to those ideas, or to any idea, actually, because of expeditious technology.
People are able to gain data and glean it for information in ways they previously could not. There are even instances in which people unintentionally plagiarize (Bowden, 1996, p. 82) due to the expedience of access to knowledge today. Therefore, while certain words and ideas may be proprietorial and copyrighted as such, it is not difficult to find a duplication or some version of a similar idea which can quickly become viral with today's technology. Therefore, although intellectual property is still valued and highly prevalent in Western culture, it has become considerably easier to circumvent whatever sort of protection or legislation is safeguarding those ideas. With that ease, of course, comes an increasing frequency of instances in which intellectual property is forsaken.
I do think these same presumptions of academic integrity hold true for my career as an employee of an organization, although it becomes true in an organizational sense. Those who innovate ideas oftentimes see them implemented and protected at an organizational level, prior to at an individual level. This facet of properly attributing ideas is also highly relevant to my experience in the work place. As the president and founder of my own real estate entity, Compass, it is necessary that I work with other individuals, occasionally in the…

Shakespeare Final Opportunity for Reflection and Writing Identifications: "Stand and unfold yourself" This quote comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Francisco and Bernardo are two guards standing watch in the middle of the night at the castle Elsinore. This is the second line of the play, spoken by Francisco in response to Bernardo's question of who goes there. It is an important part because it sets the tone for the rest of the play. Much of
They were followed in 1936 by the Harlem River Houses, a more modest experiment in housing projects. And by 1964, nine giant public housing projects had been constructed in the neighborhood, housing over 41,000 people [see also Tritter; Pinckney and Woock]. The roots of Harlem's various pre 1960's-era movements for African-American equality began growing years before the Harlem Renaissance itself, and were still alive long after the Harlem Renaissance ended.
It is through the process of death and rebirth that the knowledge is gained which will finally liberate the individual being from the central cause of all suffering itself - the cycle of death and birth. Essentially, it is only through knowledge that this can be achieved in most Buddhist schools of thought.

Conclusion In the final analysis the film under discussion can be deconstructed and critiqued from a postmodern perspective. This refers to the underlying ideologies and metanarratives that inform the narrative and imagery of the film. From a postmodern point-of-view truth is never static or fixed and is always relative to a certain context or stance. The film in question makes use of a number of rhetorical devices to put forward its
