Banquo dies but Fleance escapes, and when the murderer arrives to tell Macbeth, the first thing Macbeth notices is "There's blood on your face" (III, 4, 13). This point is both a step forward and a step back for Macbeth; his former friend Banquo is dead, removing a source of suspicion, but Banquo's son lives, ready for revenge. The blood Macbeth sees on the murderer's face reflects both his rise to power and his fall from grace.
Before this scene, however, Macbeth murders King Duncan. He almost does not go through with it, but for Lady Macbeth convincing him first that he is no man if he does not, and second by outlining how they'll get away with it: "what not put upon / His spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt" (1, 7, 70-1). The word "spongy" refers both to the fact that they are going to get the…...

Ambition by Beryl Weston and "Contending Forces" by Hopkins depicts the lives of Black Americans in the dominant white American society prior and after the legal abolishment of black slavery. Both novels discuss these social issues while discussing and narrating in closer detail the everyday lives of black Americans as they go through their lives in a new established society. In addition, both novels also touch on the romantic pursuits of the characters in the story. These love stories also illustrate how the society and the people in it determine the fate and course of romantic love for the main characters. However, the novels start in a different pace: 'Contending Forces" starts with the abolishment of black slavery, then proceeds with life in a society that has its black Americans as the equals of white Americans, not as slaves of them. Meanwhile, "Ambition" by Weston starts initially with the already…...

Iran is at the moment one of the most important players of the international scene and represents a heated subject for debate in all the administrations of the world. Its nuclear program has been the focus of attention for more than ten years largely due to the contested evidence provided by the nuclear watchdog of the United Nations, the International Atomic Agency. At the same time however, despite the sometimes clear signals sent by the Iranian administration of its offensive aim with the nuclear program, the international community fails to take into account the deep implications a nuclear Iran may have in terms of political, economic, financial, social, or military issues.

Motivation, Inspiration, and Realizing Ambition
'I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad -- as I am now. Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigor; stringent are they; inviolate they shall be. If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth

Despite his illustration of the subject's greedy pursuit of his ambitions, Tennyson had also shown redemption through Ulysses' eventual realization that success and ambition must be shared and done for the benefit of others, too: "...we are, we are, One equal-temper of heroic hearts..."
In a similar depiction of male ambition, Dickens in the novel "A Christmas Carol" illustrated how the character of Scrooge embodied moral degeneration as a result of greed and bitterness. The ambitious Scrooge was characterized by his townspeople and employees as an "ogre," especially for the Cratchit family wherein "[t]he mention of his name cast a dark shadow..." Realizing his errors in life through the Three Ghosts of Christmas, Scrooge redeemed himself by changing his ways, a moral conversion showed through generosity and compassion to others: "He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man as the good old city…...

Equal Employment Opportunity

There are several issues that companies should address when discussing equal employment opportunities. One of these issues is represented by the pay gap between men and women and the percentage of women reaching top management positions in these companies. Some of the reasons that contribute to this situation have been identified by Harvard Business School professor osabeth Moss Kanter. The professor has revealed that one of the most important factors that influence such situations is represented by the fact that women must combine work with the family life and with other activities that most men do not have to deal with.

This is somewhat true, given the fact that most men have the possibility to spend more of…...

Once that occurs, the likelihood of a nuclear detonation on U.S. soil becomes a virtual certainty; already, renowned experts like Graham Allison (2004) consider this a matter of when not if. Ironically, given the complexities of the primary military threats of the Cold War, the U.S. now faces much greater risk of a devastating nuclear attack detonated in a U-Haul trailer crossing a Manhattan bridge, or one spanning the Potomac than one employing high-tech missile guidance systems launched by another global power (Allison, 2004).
Options for Addressing the Threat of a Nuclear Iran:

There is virtually no doubt that were the U.S. located within the range of Iranian missile technology, we would be as committed against allowing Iran to pursue its nuclear ambitions. In all likelihood, Israel's vulnerability in this regard is such that they will have no choice but to lead an attack designed to destroy the main nuclear facilities…...

Power of Ambition
There are times in life when one realizes that things can change very quickly, and not always for the better. I have learned this lesson well while growing up because I faced many challenges, both physically, emotionally and mentally. Despite these tough times, however, I have learned to be an ambitious person and to appreciate all things in life, which is one of the most important lessons that a person can attain.

The reason I learned this lesson so early in life was due to an incident in the Fall of 2007. At the young age of 13, I woke up one morning with immense stomach pain. I knew immediately that something was wrong. I called out in acute agony for my family, for help, and remember only being rushed to the hospital. It was there I found out, through a haze, that I needed immediate surgery to…...

To what extent do Huntington and owen agree (or disagree) on the roots of the osnian war?
Huntington and owen each perceive the source of international conflict in different terms; the former author believes it is due to a clash of civilizations, while the latter believes that it is an effect of nationalism. Nonetheless, there are still points of similarity regarding their opinions as to the root of the osnian war. This document hypothesizes that the chief commonality agreed upon by the authors regarding the cause of the osnian war is partisanship ambition related to the appropriation of land, and the propagation of values from outside sources that fueled the conflict.

Central to the supporting evidence that both owen and Huntington agree that the ambitious tendencies of the respective participants in the osnian war (which includes Croatians, Serbs and osnians) was responsible for this conflict is the importance each author places upon…...

It is through interviews and analysis; we will see how these individuals feel about the new cultures and regulations around them. Living in a new place, these individuals can very easily let go of the limitations they were under before. Therefore, their answers will give a sound idea of what sort of struggle they are experiencing with the new culture and how to retain their self and identity.
Limitations.

This study was only carried out on eight students and that is the major limitation of this research project. As stated before, half of the sample size is directly from Saudi Arabia and the other half has lived in countries such as well. Despite these differences, there are other factors such as economic class, religious sect, education and family structure that make each of these individuals different one from another. Due to these differences, the generalization created from this sample set cannot…...

This is why people that had financial resources to move away from the agitated center often chose Harlem. At the same time however,
On the periphery of these upper class enclaves, however, impoverished Italian immigrants huddled in vile tenements located from 110th to 125th Streets, east of Third Avenue to the Harlem iver. To the north of Harlem's Italian community and to the west of Eighth Avenue, Irish toughs roamed an unfilled marshlands area referred to by locals as "Canary Island."

In this sense, it can be said that in the beginning, Harlem represented the escape place for many of the needy in search for a better life. From this amalgam, the Jews represented the largest group, the reason being the oppressive treatment they were continuously subject to throughout the world. Still, the phenomenon that led to the coming of a black majority of people in this area was essential for…...

Randy Pausch
Remembering Randy

The most meaningful message that I found in Randy Pausch's book The Last Lecture has to do with what the author was telling readers regarding obstacles in the way of fulfilling dreams and ambitions. Specifically, the part of this narrative that pertains to brick walls was particularly enlightening for anyone who is attempting to accomplish goals or to set precedents. The author's conception of brick walls are impediments that prevent -- or at least impede -- people from accomplishing certain tasks. The following quotation elucidates this point of the author's more fully. "The brick walls are there for a reason. They're not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something."

In many ways, this quotation sums up the author's entire attitude towards life and is the principle theme of this work of literature. There…...

People generally focus on appearance when coming across a particular individual. This is perfectly exemplified by the meeting between the old member of the De Lacey family and the monster. The man initially welcomes the creature, as he is no longer able to see and is unacquainted with the monster's facial features and body.
Victor Frankenstein can be considered to contrast the monster through his behavior, his background, and because of the goals that he has. The scientist virtually had everything that the monster longed for, considering his family, his reputation, and the fact that he was generally seen as one of society's leading members. Instead of valuing what he had, however, Frankenstein gave it all away in favor of gaining reputation, as this was apparently the thing that he appreciated the most in life. hile most readers are likely to blame Frankenstein for most unfortunate events in the book,…...

If however she had achieved the ideal non-attachment of Buddhism, her grief would still be real, but she would experience it in a different way. Her grief would be part of a process of letting go the son who is no longer there. A degree of non-attachment would then allow her to experience the grief as outside of herself rather than as part of her individuality. This would help her to move on with the life that is her own. In the above way a too great degree of attachment to human relationships may become destructive to the spiritual goal.
The same is true of a great degree of attachment to materialistic ideals such as food or money. Great ambition to accumulate money or physical assets may cause a person to lose sight of spiritual goals. This is a very one-sided approach to life, and may lead to destruction when…...
