The work is to be 4 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. At the beginning of Act IV, Hamlet is informed by the Captain that the Norwegian Army under the command of Prince Fortinbras is going to invade some parts of Poland. When Hamlet asks the Captain about the reason of the conflict, he informs that the Norwegian Army is going to occupy some insignificant parts of Poland just for the credit that the Norwegians are mightier, as the Captain replies: “Truly to speak, and with no addition, / We go to gain a little patch of ground /That hath in it no profit but the name. /To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it” (Shakespeare Act 4 Sc IV, Line 18-21). At this point, noble-hearted, Hamlet thinks over the notoriety and viciousness of man who never hesitates to cause bloodshed for namesake. Indeed, this news evokes this soliloquy of Hamlet. In this soliloquy, Hamlet starts to brood over the reason for his revenge. He thinks that in comparison with the mere cause behind the Norwegian Army’s attack on Poland, his reason to seek revenge on his father’s murderer is far stronger. He rebukes himself for delaying the revenge. but at the same time, he admits that he cannot ignore his duty to be sure of that Claudius is the real murderer of his father. This soliloquy reveals a great deal of Hamlet’s nature.

Create a 4 pages page paper that discusses the destiny of the unevangelized debate: the problem of the destiny of the unevangelized is a debate that concerns all thinking. It was a prevailing question regarding the destiny of the unevangelized for many years. It has put theologians to focus on this debate, whether a person born as unevangelized is saved to eternity or not. Many have differences of opinion regarding the destiny of people who are not evangelized. Taking the example of Cornelius in the Acts, it says, “Cornelius-even with all of his godly characteristics and even though an angel appeared to him –was not already saved. No, he had to hear the gospel and, as the result, believe in the Lord Jesus” (Penney 2001, 99). The book, Across the Spectrum: Understanding Issues in Evangelical Theology by Gregory A. Boyd and Paul R. Eddy has dealt with the issue on the destiny of unevangelized people very clearly. The research analyses the various aspects included in the debate and makes out the strengths and weaknesses of each point. The attitudes and opinions of theologians are considered to make out a solution for the debate. Thesis Statement: Problems of Unevangelized: the position of theologians and the church in the debate. The Bible says, “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”(Acts 4:12) The wordings in bible make a person think that non Christians are denied of salvation. “Whether I am a Calvinist, Arminian, dispensationalist, covenant theologian, charismatic, high church may give a particular coloring to the model I choose, but these factors do not determine which model I favour regarding the destiny of those who have never heard the gospel” (Fackre et al. 1995, 17). When comes to the case of unevangelized, the salvation is denied for them and so this subject has led way for a hot debate in the Christendom. What will be the destiny of all unevangelized people who belong to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc? Are they not the sons of God? The book, Across the Spectrum, gives out three types of approach towards this debate, namely, ‘exclusivism’, ‘inclusivism’, and ‘pluralism’. The first term exclusivism considers Jesus as the only saviour and without him no salvation is possible. The second term regards Jesus as the only saviour but salvation is possible without the knowledge of him. According to the second one, the good faith in God is enough to attain salvation irrespective of religion. The term of the category, pluralism does not consider Jesus as the only saviour but one among many and salvation is possible for others (Boyd and Eddy 2009, 198). The theologians found pluralism completely against Christian ideology and so they rejected the term from the debate. This term, may be, later made way for neglecting the importance of Christ as the only saviour. The terms, exclusivism and inclusivism gave way for many contradictions in the church. Most of theologians support the aspects of these in their studies. They have found three ways of life that stood for exclusivism. They are restrictivism, universal opportunity, and post-mortem evangelism. According to the first one no one is attained salvation without Jesus Christ. In the Bible Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life .No one comes to the Father except through me.”(John14:6) These words affirm that Jesus Christ is the only saviour and many believers are attached to this point of view.

Compose a 2250 words assignment on how does swinburne respond to the problem of evil and is his response successful. Needs to be plagiarism free! Swinburne argues that having the freedom of choice on our destinies and those around us is a remarkable authority we enjoy as humans. This should, by default entail happiness and peace on earth because everybody wants to be happy, however, it is so not the case. He states that this freedom of choice ends up putting a lot of other humans and animals in considerable pain. The existence of pain and suffering is a rather popular argument against the existence of God.While moving on further with his argument, Swinburne admits that justifying evil on whatever grounds shows insensitivity to human suffering, but it is a responsibility of a believer nevertheless to come up with an argument because his belief in God would not hold any ground otherwise. Hence, in a moment of contemplation and reason, any believer must be able to answer this question of the existence of evil. Swinburne warns that (showing his sensitivity to people who are suffering) although it is an inevitable task to reason evil, it is also important that these things can’t be argued in the state of passion, not in a sermon for example. It is also crucial that we approach this subject objectively and not relate ourselves and our lives to it.He comes down what would be the basic pre-requisites of a good life on earth bestowed by a good God, and answers first by worldly pleasures. Swinburne then introduces the ‘deeper good’ and hence starts building his argument of the spiritual wisdom of greater good against the corporeal sensation of pleasure and pain.In the field of spiritual goodness, God would give us the sense of responsibility and ‘a share in his own creative activity’ and the catch would be that we ourselves will have to work to these ends of the transcendental good and this necessitates evil.Swinburne then differentiates between kinds of evils. He says that the lack of comfort and opulence is not the cause of evil, because God as big as a creator he is, can always create more.

Complete 20 pages APA formatted article: Kosovo. Thorough investigations will be carried out to find the technical process that goes behind in making these visual designs. The investigation also explores the successful factors of using visual designs, such as logos and identifying their processes, techniques and development. In contrast the not so effective visual designs will also be investigated, to find out what went wrong in the process and development. For this project it was essential to undertake a motive and start experimenting to what can be done with visual design. Moreover to see the impact of how these techniques change the perception of a country. The chosen country for this experiment is Kosovo. Kosovo proved to be more of a challenge to experiment with as many still view Kosovo as a war torn country. The experiment on designing for Kosovo is an attempt to replicate the development and effort that goes behind branding to engage the audience to a visual design. 1. Definition of Visual Design Visual design is not about what the message is through the word. The design is supposed to show both emotions and visuals. The graphics elements must incorporate visual art skills prior to any graphic elements are applied to a design.

Either the country doesn’t have one or it isn’t good enough. The research conducted will provide some in depth details of the process that is done in the background on how to make a logo that can help Kosovo stand out it a fears completion when it comes to branding. There are countries, cities and tourist resorts that are facing increasing competitions to attract tourists, possibly inhabitants and various companies to visit their regions or to promote exports, according to Teemu Moilanen and Seppo Rainisto (2009). Figures compiled by Teemu Moilanen and Seppo Rainisto, show that there are more than 300 cities in the world with over a million inhabitants. Most of the cities want to stand out from the other competing cities, in terms of attracting the tourists to visit the city’s tourist attractions. Indeed there is more to branding a country than visual design. However, the visual design is the first step to promoting the country at its core. 3. The successes and failures of visual identities The destinations that are going to be investigated for this research are four distinct country tourism destinations.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Glaxo Smith Kline. Your paper should be a minimum of 2000 words in length. First of all, strategic planners at GSK had expressed their intention in 2008 towards accomplishing goals of rapid business expansion, growth and sustainability through offering and ‘delivering more products of value’ to their clients and increasing their focus on Research and Development to gain a competitive edge over their rival multinational pharmaceutical competitors such as Pfizer, Novartis and others etc. Therefore, the managers identified ‘new growth areas such as biopharmaceuticals, vaccines and other consumer healthcare products’ as part of their Diversification strategy. Secondly, GSK devised a strategy to restructure / reorganize / reengineer its organizational operations so that it could reduce the costs of doing business thereby increasing its operating margins and return on investments in the short and long run. In addition, the company managers have also considered the role of Brand Management and Effective Marketing Strategies in today’s highly globalized, unstructured, unclear, unexpected and unpredictable business environment. Hence, they have made ‘Brand innovations and adjustments in their marketing / advertising strategies’ to enhance their reputation and goodwill in the marketplace while accomplishing their goal of reaping financial benefits and excessive profits simultaneously. The strategies formulated and expressed in 2008 were openly communicated to employees, shareholders and stakeholders while implemented in subsequent fiscal years. (GSK Press Release, 2008) and (Pharmalive, 2010)It is worthwhile to mention that overall demand for pharmaceuticals is relatively inelastic while it is highly inelastic for live-saving drugs. Hence, the economic recession is not among the major factors that reduce the demand for drugs for a company. Rather, there are strictly internal factors such as higher costs of business, management inefficiencies, poor quality (side effects), etc or external factors such as ban by governments, expiry of patents, lawsuits, legal licensing and registration barriers, the threat of substitutes from competitors and potential new entrants that lead to stiff competition among different producers.&nbsp.

For this, our last draft together ( ! ), I’d like you to compose an essay focusing on an implied claim of policy, that is, an argument about taking some kind of action, in response to the following prompt: One of the central questions in Shakespeare’s Henry V is whether Hal, the title character, is justified in going to war with France. Act one focuses chiefly on some of the different factors motivating Hal, and throughout the play we hear him and those around him offering different arguments about whether the war—including Hal’s preparations and conduct, the conduct of his soldiers, and his treatment of the French—are appropriately righteous and even legal. Hal is surrounded by people who expect him to act like a “Christian” king. In fact, for the two plays preceding this one (Henry IV parts one and two), that’s been the major topic of debate. For good or ill, Hal becomes a king (that is, his father dies and he inherits the job), and manages even to expand his realm to include most of France. He’s plainly a pretty good soldier. The question remains, however: do his own explanations and the attitudes of those around him justify “much fall of blood” (1.2.25)? Is Hal the compassionate, merciful, law-abiding Christian he and others claim he is, or is he a ruffian, a sadist, a Machiavellian pragmatist willing to do what it takes to advance his own and his country’s interests? How, finally, do we feel about the actions he undertakes under the cheerful self-definition of “soldier”? As you evaluate Hal’s actions and decisions I’d like you to synthesize both your own attitudes about his words and deeds and also the attitudes expressed by characters in the play. This will necessitate that you work carefully to explore, adopt, and refute various competing arguments (something you’ve become adept at). Some key characters to look at might include the bishops; Fluellen and Hal’s other soldiers; Pistol, Nym, and Bardolph; the King of France; the Dauphin; the herald; and Katherine of Valois. To evaluate this claim of policy (“We should go to war”) begin by examining relevant supporting claims, like the bishops’ claims about the Salic Law, the questions raised by Hal’s soldiers about the status of their souls, Hal’s own statements about the results of war, and the various assertions made by the Chorus (the voice of the prologues). Balance these several voices against what you yourself perceive to be the results of Hal’s choices and what we’ve learned through our brief study of Just War theory. Do his deeds and their results justify the violence? And again, be sure to entertain relevant counterarguments. Do reasonable voices mount plausible objections to this war? As always, support your claims with carefully-chosen, accurately-quoted, appropriately-cited passages from the text, and, as always, be sure to cite a secondary source and provide a list of works cited in the MLA style..

To develop reading practices for a book-length text (in this case, a single story). To think critically about a book-length text and consider how it responds to the world beyond. To conduct academic research in efforts to support a central argument and integrate these quotes effectively. Structure an essay around a central, persuasive argument and provide evidence to support. Materials for the Assignment George Saunders – The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil From They Say, I Say Chapter 7 – “So What? Who Cares?” (pp 91-100) Chapter 15 – “On Closer Examination” (pp 187-204) Charley Locke – “The Real Reason Dystopian Fiction Is Roaring Back” (published on Wired) (Links to an external site.) J.P Telotte – “Science Fiction Reflects Our Anxieties” (published on The New York Times) (Links to an external site.) You will also need to conduct independent research (using the COC library databases and other reputable sources) Purpose of the Assignment For this essay, you will be reading George Saunders’ novella The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil. As you read, you will be using a critical eye to discover connections between the world created within the text and the cultural moment in which it is being read. In order to elaborate on and support the connection between fiction and reality, you will need to conduct academic research to find credible sources about the real-world concept you are discussing. In this sense, you will not simply be looking at the content of the story but will need to dig beneath the surface to uncover deeper themes and meanings. You will be doing this in order to propose an argument on what readers can learn about our present cultural moment from the text. The Writing Task Your primary objective for this essay will be to use evidence from the novella AND a minimum of three outside resources to answer the following question: Despite taking place in a fictionalized world, WHAT idea/message does The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil present about a contemporary real-world issue? Some Helpful Guidance What this paper is: Your paper is the culmination and final product of an involved process of research, source evaluation, critical thinking, organization, and composition. It is, perhaps, helpful to think of the researched argument as a living thing that grows and changes as you explore, interpret, and evaluate sources related to a specific topic. Primary and secondary sources that deal with your chosen topic are the heart of a research paper. Your paper should serve to not only further the conversation of a given topic but will also provide you with an exceptional opportunity to increase your knowledge. What this paper is not: This paper is not an informed summary of the novel by means of primary and secondary sources. This paper is a genre that requires you to spend time investigating and evaluating sources with the intent of offering interpretations of the texts and how they converse with each other. The goal of this paper is not simply to inform your reader about what others have to say about a topic, but to build on those arguments in order to offer a unique interpretation of the novel in relation to a contemporary issue. Think about the following as you begin to form your argumentative stance on your topic: How do you see your topic at work in our society today? What kind of correlations can you draw between the world within the text and our own? What are the larger consequences of your topic? How does the text inform or complicate your thoughts on your topic? Minimum Requirements: Your essay should be 6-8 pages (not including your works cited page), in standard MLA format, and include a Works Cited page. You will need to include three (3) outside sources that inform and support your argument. I have provided some “secondary sources” on Canvas that you can select from, although these will only count towards one of the outside sources. Sources that talk directly about Saunders’ novel are discouraged UNLESS you provide some new insight/perspective. (You want to avoid parroting a pre-existing idea). The essay will need to base itself around analysis and interpretation of George Saunders’ The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil.
