LETHAL INJECTION AS A FORM OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT             The use of lethal injection as a capital punishment form was first proposed late 19th century when the New York commission overseeing capital punishment incorporated its suggestion as a method which could seem more humane as compared to hanging which had been a common method during those days. Robert M. Bohm, who was working as a professor in the University of Florida at the time and who also had extensively written on capital punishment, the proposal eventually faced a challenge as the people would associate the hypodermic needle which had just been introduced as a very important tool with the killings as it was the one being used for administering the chemicals in this category (Farber, Davis, Weiner, Jordan, Boyer & Ubel, 2013). During the World War II, this method had been used as one of Nazis’ methods to dispose those people who seemed extremely sick and the disabled prisoners, along with other methods of capital punishment like the firing squad and gas chamber (Denno, 2017). After the war, lethal injection…

Cold War essay The term Cold War refers to a state of great unfriendliness prevailing between countries, particularly countries that subscribe to divergent political systems, which does not necessarily express itself through fighting rather through political threats and pressures. The term is normally used to refer to the relationship between the Soviet Union and the US after World War II (WWII). According to CVCE (3), the US and the Soviet Union gradually created their own spheres of influence and divided the world into two opposite camps. Therefore, the Cold War was not solely a struggle between the Soviet Union and the US rather a global conflict that impacted many countries, especially in the European continent, which became one of the key theatres of the struggle. Europe was divided into two opposing blocks and the countries in Western Europe aligned with the US, while Eastern European countries became satellites of the Soviet Union (CVCE, 3). Although the two main opposing powers never went to war directly, they engaged in lengthy ideological and strategic conflicts with occasional crises that varied in intensity.…

Oscar Wilde and his false imprisonment During the nineteenth century, homosexuality was considered a social taboo and severe criminal offense. Wilde was a victim of the societal views on homosexuality, which saw him being held responsible as a suspect in relation to sexual orientation. Wilde’s case was decided based on the 1885 Act of Criminal Law Amendment, which prohibited intimacy among men as such interactions were labeled gross indecencies. In the 1890 era, Wilde was experiencing a literary peak and had established a robust academic bond (Raby 1). Further on, Wilde also had intimate relations with Lord Alfred Douglas, where Douglas was Marquess of Queensberry’s youngest son. John Sholto Douglass was an eccentric, arrogant, and ill-tempered who strongly opposed the relations between Douglas and his son. He considered Wilde a vile man and sought to save young Douglas from the evil friendship, which was later referred to as a relationship. John Sholto Douglass went further to threaten to stop all financial supplies and disown young Douglass in case he proceeded with his relationship with Wilde. When he realized the threats…

REGULATION OF THE THEATRE BY THE MONARCHY. It is true the monarchy attempted to regulate the theatre in England. The reason behind the regulation was that during that era, the actors were not closely supervised. The implication is that the actors had a lot of freedom, which made most illegal companies claim patronage falsely to the theatre. The performance of the theatre also caused religious controversy as many plays written in those days were religion-related. Due to these reasons, queen Elizabeth took several measures aimed at bringing order during this chaotic period. The monarchy took several measures in the year 1559, such as the banning of plays related to both the religion and political subjects. The monarchy also made the local officials responsible for licensing all the public performance in their jurisdictions. However, these regulations were not effective in 1570, which led to the suppression of religious cycles systematically. The destruction ended in 1581 with the closure of the Coventry cycle. It was declared illegal for anyone below a baron’s rank to authorize a tour or maintain a Troup in…

A Curriculum for a Middle School Rhythm Reading Unit Introduction “Music education is important because music is a part of experiences, a part of the senses, and a part of the arts” (Eisner, 1987). The need to create a music curriculum comes from several years of experience of teaching within my school district. I recognize that there needs to be a curriculum design of a middle school music rhythm reading unit that is cross-curricular with Math. The curriculum design targets middle school learners between sixth to eight grades. This curriculum is based on research and a review of scholarly materials. This curriculum reflects the goals of the music standards of learning found in the music standards of learning of [district]. This music curriculum has been established to better describe the scope of music education and facilitate a high degree of music instruction in the school. This curriculum includes several contents that should be implemented by Max Abbott Middle School within four key course offers, such as General Music, Vocal/Choral Music, and Guitar.

Impact of iPhone and iPod Sales on Customer Satisfaction Summary Every successful company has a background. The background highlights the strides the company has taken, and the challenges it has overcome. When the company started several years ago, the stakeholders had no idea what the company would transition to in the years to come. Steve Jobs has to be credited for his immense effort and excellent work ethic. When he was at the helm, Apple was just an average company with average revenue. Through persistence and hard work, he changed the narrative, and today Apple boasts of over 55 million customers (Brews & Christopher, 2014). The majority of its sales are attributed to iPhone and iPod sales. These two products have high aesthetic values that easily attract consumers. Besides, the products are highly differentiated, making it challenging for the rivals to imitate. For this project, however, I’ll discuss the project’s most significant challenges, elaborate on how I will manage the project via EVM, and lastly, discuss the plan to close the project. These elements are vital in this case, as…

The Asian-American Stereotypes In “Techno-Orientalism: Japan Panic,” David Morley and Kevin Robins write that the Japanese are imagined as “people mutating into machines…they represent a kind of cybernetic mode of being for the future.” Choose any two of the following texts and explain how they promote or contradict the stereotype of Asian Americans as “unfeeling aliens…cyborgs and replicants.” “Only Goodness” “Mono No Aware” “The Paper Menagerie” “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”   Asian-Americans are increasingly on the verge of breaking cultural boundaries in and out of their native countries. The Asian culture is deeply embedded into the lives of many people of the Asian community even though the majority of them move to other nations. Many Asians move from their nations to other countries for various regions, such as in the search for education, for an employment opportunity, and some move in order to experience a change in their lifestyle. Despite the period with which Asian communities have stayed in interaction with other cultures, the influence that their cultures have on their lifestyle is too strong that they cannot be…

Putting On Theatre Performances on a Limited Budget For many community theatre directors, poultry budgets and meagre resources represent standard operating procedures. How they manage to put on, shows consistently is a miracle. However, some tricks allow such producers to put on entertaining shows. Here are few ways to put on believable theatre performances on a limited budget: Don’t Depend On the Set The theatre is more about the dialogue between the actors than it is about the setting. If your budget doesn’t accommodate the construction of a set, you can improvise. A simple curtain or drape can be the ideal backdrop for your drama. If the actors are good at what they are doing, the audience won’t even notice the lack of a set. You can do away with the set and props entirely on some productions. Improv theatre does it all the time, and no one seems to care. Use Cheap Costumes Lacking a budget for costumes shouldn’t be the reason to stop the production. The actors could cater to their costumes. This saves you the hustle of…
