This paper will try to explain the different views
of how and why Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12
-step programs are accepted and rejected as

W H Auden Rhyme Scheme
1,376 words
Peter Kivy opposes the idea of Formalism as the
basis of how to determine what an art is. He deems
that representation is the significant part of
determining art because without meanings and
representation words have no value. Roger Fry,
Quintin Bell and Walter Pater are on the other
side of the issue and believe that only the formal
aspect of art really has any value. The
representation of the words are not important,
only the formal aspect matters (Kivy, pg. 25). In
the poem Victor, by W. H. A...

Ability To Communicate Teaching And Learning

Mans essential characteristic is his rational
faculty. Mans mind is his basic means of survival
his only means of gaining knowledge. Man cannot
survive, as animals do, by the guidance of mere
precepts. He cannot provide for his simplest
physical needs without a process of thought. He
needs a process of thought to discover how to
plant and grow his food, or how to make weapons
for hunting. His precepts might lead him to a
cave, if one is available but to build the
simplest shelter, he needs a pro...

Andro Centric Anthropological Perspectives
2,784 words
In this essay I will look at whether the
inequality between men and women is a human
universal, or whether there are or have been
societies in which women shared power equally with
men, or even exercised power over them. In order
to do so, I will look at the writings of a number
of anthropologists. In "The Subordinance of Women:
A Problematic Universal", author Ruth Bleier
indicates that a central premise in the biological
explanations inequality between women and men in
present-day cultures, is...

Care Giving Networks Variations by Marital Status
To define what a care giving network is, would be
to say that it is the care for elderly persons
based on how an elderly is taken care of, and by
whom they are given the care from. So many factors
affect this situation though. Situations that may
depend on this decision may include marital
status, age, and what not. The information at hand
though, is how marital status affects the decision
on care for these elderly. This kind of
information leads...

York Harcourt Brace Stone Wall

The class of adjectives is one of the more
problematic ones in English grammar. In order to
see what kind of problems and questions we are
dealing with we need to address the following two
questions: what adjectives are, and how we can
recognize them. The most common answer to this
question, provided by most grammars, is
'adjectives modify nouns' (Pence, Hodges 51,
Johnson 31). This answer (or definition) may seem
obvious enough but, as Roberts notes, this
definition will lead to some serious di...

Richard Gray Williams purpose remains the same: to
emphasise or identify with the thing, not just to
describe it but to imitate it in words, to allow
it to express itself, to give it verbal shape, a
voice. And the immediate consequence of this aim
is, not surprisingly, a commitment to free verse:
rhythms that follow the shape of the object and
that respond to the exigencies of a specific
occasion. I must tell you, begins Williams in

Avant Garde Heavily Influenced

It is a hard task to pinpoint who and what
inspired Paul Rand in his groundbreaking design.
It is a much easier task however, to tell who was
inspired by him. He must not only be remembered as
the man who revolutionized our visual language,
but also as the man who laid the groundwork for
other art directors and designers to continue
modernizing the field. Because without the great
Paul Rand to learn from, to emulate, even to try
to surpass, there would have been no Bill Golden,
