Gun Violence in December of 2012, Sandy
School shootings have become an increasingly visible reality in the discussion over public safety, especially in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut massacre. The research proposal here aims to determine the role played by perception and media framing in how we understand suburban school shootings versus the chronic gun violence issues in urban school settings.
Hills Like White Elephants -- Critical Literary
Introduction
One of the first things entering the mind of a reader (on an obvious level) in Hemingway's short story is that the image of a white elephant the woman sees in the line of hills in the distance has created a classic man-woman conundrum. She sees it her way and he sees it his. The beer and the anis del Toro – and the expectant train – are just pieces on the chessboard, merely part of the setting that perhaps will play a role in this very short story.
Thesis: Like his other short stories, this brilliant piece of fiction by Hemingway is very tightly written but it packs symbolism, irony and characterization into a short amount of space. In this story, the ultimate meaning is that the man does not wish to take responsibility for the woman's pregnancy and on the other hand she has superior imagination, vision, understanding, and knowledge of the natural world and of humanity. The white elephant to her is a rare and beautiful thing but to him the white elephant is something of less value he would rather avoid.
Wiki and How Can it Be Useful
A wiki is a website where users can add to, modify, or delete the contents of that page via web-browser using a richtext editor or a simple markup language. (Mitchell, Scott (July, 2008) ). Most wikis are created collaboratively. They are powered by wiki software.
Wikis are useful for organizations since they serve many purposes from knowledge management to note-taking. They can be community websites and intranets.
Wikis can actually be useful for organizations in numerous ways. Here are various different ways in which they can help an organization:
Wikis can help eh organization with their to-do list using programs such as GTD Tiddlywiki, dcubed, or MonkeyGTD. Similarly, Wikis, being easily modifiable, help the organizations plan and complete their project from beginning to end by adding notes, making a time-line, pasting in graphics, and so forth
The company's operation manual can be put online as a wiki and updated as changes occur
A checklist can be put on one's wiki
