Journalism has transformed dramatically over the years. The advancement of technology has helped the media evolve by giving people a better perspective of how the world is viewed today. Radios, computers, telephones, and televisions are becoming important tools in the 21st century.

In 1915, the Massachusetts Agricultural College first introduced journalism as a major. With a master’s degree from Harvard and Yale, Robert Wilson Neal taught journalism from 1906 to 1920. At the University of Massachusetts, Neal’s work in modern journalism has been viewed for over 80 years. There were two books Neal wrote that were published by Oxford University Press in 1914 and 1918. (more…)

In the extract “Adolescence” from Bob Geldof’s autobiography “Is That It?” there are numerous issues such as sex, peer group, fashion, music and religion raised in the extract. Geldof uses strategies and techniques that positions me as a reader to respond in a certain way to the issues represented in the text.

One way that Geldof positions us to respond to fashion is by the technique, point of view. It is through first person’s point of view where the secret thoughts of a single character are transposed. And that happened through Geldof’s point of view. (more…)

This is an essay on the film directed by Kazan and the book A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. I will focus on scene 3, the poker game. This is a critical point of the relationships between Stanley, Blanche and Stella.

Stanley and Stella are married and live in the down stairs of a flat. Eunice and Steve occupy the top story. The role in their relationship is reversed compared to Stanley and Stella’s, with Eunice being the more dominant.

Blanche is Stella’s sister and they have not seen each since they lived at Belle Reve. Blanche arrives on a streetcar named Desire, so this is were the title presumably came from. The poker game symbolises the relationship between Stanley and Blanche and the ‘game’ they play. (more…)

Databases are one of the backbone components in the IT world that has enabled the growth and development of technologies used on the Internet and the World Wide Web. When you look at the information that is presented on websites, or the data stored in small spreadsheet applications or Access databases sent from one colleague to another via e-mail, you are looking at functionality from a database application that was responsible for organizing and transferring that information. A Database is a data store accessed through a query language or Application Programming Interface (API). In this paper I will discuss the main differences found between the most commonly used format of database architecture today, the Relational Database, and the newest methodology (more…)

The history of computers is short but very complicated. Computers have been through lot of changes throughout the past half-century. They also affect our society in many different ways today. The following paper describes how the computers have changed from 1970 to present.

How does the world view Biotechnology? My previous understanding to this question has been not very well. Now I have been presented with the opportunity to somewhat research how various sources view Biotechnology? My findings were mixed however and mostly based upon by the source depicting the article. I found two varying articles by two very different sources. One source was from a (CBS) article, while the other source was from Scientific American. After reviewing these two articles, I found that depending on the type of media, the views on Biotechnology can be on opposite sides of the spectrum. (more…)

Impacts on Business Process
Gebauer, et all (1998) describes procurement as one of the most important functions for both governmental and private sector business processes. Procurement is more than just purchasing goods and services. It includes all activities involved in obtaining, transporting and moving material towards the production process. Electronic procurement makes use of electronic commerce technologies, such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), e-mail, and electronic catalogues. Zenz and Thompson (1994) stated that most organizations spend at least one third of their overall budget on purchasing goods and services, procurement holds significant business value. (more…)

In “A Worn Path“, Eudora Welty portrays a woman on a journey using words and phrases which contain a psychological connection to the story line. The plot alone is that which is not too intense and complex, however the way Welty uses metaphors, irony, stereotyping and implication of words to fit the story is outstanding. Using these ways of spicing up the content, Welty’s writing attracts the reader’s interest throughout; even at moments which would normally not. Welty’s style of writing “A Worn Path” is that which makes the reader really think about her choice of words, for they are twisted with to portray a mental picture. (more…)

The question, should euthanasia be legalized can be put into a category with should we go to war with Iraq? Or should we continue to use capital punishment? Only an individual can answer these very emotional questions for himself or herself based on whatever factors he or she chooses to use. I feel life is very sacred and should not be taken lightly, but I also understand life is different for every person. It can be painful beyond belief; it can be extremely depressing; therefore, I believe people should have the choice to end life, under certain guidelines. (more…)

Shakespeare’s play, ‘King Lear’, anticipates the corruption of people through their inability to control their greed, a contemporary issue rarely discussed but displayed so regularly.

Shakespeare shows this quality of greed through various forms and characters including Goneril and Regan, daughters of King Lear himself. In the first scenes King Lear announces to impart most of his land to the daughter who profess the most love for him. In this petty act to flatter, Goneril and Regan feign about their love for Lear. They display commendable examples of their ‘ever-growing’ love for their father. (more…)
