the thoughts and actions of the American colonists would have even been fathomable without
the Reformation. Sparked by the posting of Martin Luthers ninety-five theses in 1517, the
Reformation was a turning point in the authority of the church and the ability of the common

public and religious institutions was common. By the 16th Century, however, the poor were
treated with suspicion and harsh measures, to ensure that they were not becoming lazy,
using welfare as a substitute for labor. Beginning in the 17th Century, the attitudes toward

the reliability is the ability to provide the pledged service on time, accurately and
dependably. It involves consistency of performance and dependability. It means that the
firm performs the service right the first time and also the degree to which a service is fault-

A Clothes-Minded Society: Clothing as a Representation of Attitude in Romeo and Juliet -
The Royal Shakespeare Companys performance of Romeo and Juliet on 2 July 2010 at the
Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, England was directed by Rupert Goold, and
starred Sam Troughton and Mariah Gale as the title characters. It was a unique
production because Goold chose to have Romeo and Juliet- and only those two- dressed in
modern, 21st century clothing. The rest of the cast was dressed in traditional Elizabethan
costume. The characters in Elizabethan dress are close-minded, and this was reflected in
the directors clothing choices for them, hence the phrase clothes-minded. They are static
characters who are as restricted in their societal roles as they are in their clothing.... [tags:

Visual Codes and Conventions in the Painting: George Robinson Welcomes Natives to
Wybalenna - Visual texts can be seen to be an attempt by their creators to represent
particular ideologies to their viewers. It is the viewer's attitudes and values however, that
determine the contemporary meaning of the image. The painting George Robinson
welcomes Natives to Wybalenna, is a Colonial document portraying the Christianizing of
indigenous people on Flinders Island. Visual codes and conventions employed in the image,
such as positioning and framing depict the entwined values of white, patriarchal and
Christian ideologies of the 19th Century.... [tags: Art Christian Religion]
The Importance of Work - The Importance of Work During the birth of this country,
Puritans had to work hard to ensure the success of the new state. In order to make work
more appealing, the Puritans emphasized the fruits of labor. This attitude, reflected in
modern day by the act of "working for a living," is considered as a "badge of pride."
Puritan attitudes toward work and the attitudes of two modern day writers toward work
all agree that the act of working has virtuous effects, an attitude that I share because of my
working experience (Clee and Clee 233-234).... [tags: essays research papers]

Latinos, Politics, and American Cinema - Latinos, Politics, and American Cinema Feature
films in the United States influence American viewers' attitudes on a wide variety of topics.
Americans attitudes toward politics are shaped by films, and specifically the politics of
racial interaction. The history of modern feature films begins with Birth of a Nation (1915),
a film that misrepresents the Black race by justifying the existence and role of the Ku Klux
Klan in American society. From this racist precedent, producers and directors understood
that visual messages, however latent, were a useful means of communicating a political
message to a large audience.... [tags: Movies Films]

The Passionate Shepherd Poems - The Passionate Shepherd Poems The poems The
Passionate Shepherd to His Love (Marlowe), The Nymphs Reply to the Shepherd
(Raleigh), and Song (Lewis ) all focus on the same basic plot and characters but vary
considerably in point of view and theme. This difference comes primarily through the
difference in the poems speakers. A poor shepherd is the voice of both The Passionate
Shepherd to His Love, and Song. However, the shepherds of the two poems feature
almost opposite attitudes. The shepherd in The Passionate Shepherd to His Love, the
original poem of the series, is a romantic idealist who paints beautiful pictures for the girl
he loves of beds of roses and riches.... [tags: Poems Poetry Shepherds Essays]
Drug and Alcohol Use by Student Athletes - Drug and Alcohol Use by Student Athletes The
topic that I have chosen is student athletes' use of drugs and alcohol. I'm interested to see if
the old theory that student athletes tend to stay away from these things still holds true
today. From my own personal experience as a former high school and college football
player, I doubt that this is true. I'd also like to find some studies that may compare student
athletes to the general student body to see if there is a correlation of usage between these
two groups.... [tags: Papers]
False Consensus Effect - False Consensus Effect: A Focused Review of Research
Categorization and social projection are important ways that people can more successfully
navigate their social environment. People need to know that there are others in their in-
group that share the same attitudes and behaviors as they do. If people are unable to
determine how many people in their environment share their attitudes and behaviors, it
would be more difficult to engage in social situations without offending or contradicting
others.... [tags: essays research papers]
Habits and Explanation - Habits and Explanation Habits form a crucial part of the
everyday conceptual scheme used to explain normal human activity. However, they have
been neglected in debates concerning folk-psychology which have concentrated on
propositional attitudes such as beliefs. But propositional attitudes are just one of the many
mental states. In this paper, I seek to expand the debate by considering mental states other
than propositional attitudes. I conclude that the case for the autonomy and plausibility of
the folk-psychological explanation is strengthened when one considers an example from the
non-propositional-attitude mental states: habits.... [tags: Psychology Science Papers]

Wireless Computing - In an attempt to improve the integration of wireless computing,
educators and policymakers are reevaluating ways to incorporate technology tools into the
grade level performance standards without separating the two educational standards
(Collins & Halverson, 2009; Weston & Bain, 2010). Presently, students and teachers at the
rural school district under review have the ability to transmit information through wireless
technological resources. Francis and Mishra (2008) explained that teaching-learning with
wireless computing effectively will demand that classroom teachers are knowledgeable of
the security of information.... [tags: Education, Teachers]
The Boer War - The Boer War The Boer War symbolizes the climax of imperial tensions
and excitement of the late 19th century, and can be viewed as a turning point in the history
of the Empire, precipitating widespread changes. The first of these is a change in the
attitudes towards the ideology of empire; the second is a change in terms of future
administration of the empire; and the third is a change in the role of Britain as a dominant
world power. The combination of these changes caused the beginnings of a series of
transformations concerning the British Empire.... [tags: Papers]
The Formation of Relationships - The Formation of Relationships Attraction can be
defined as an individual's tendency to evaluate someone in a positive way. Attraction is a
multifactorial emotion. That is, several factors have an influence on interpersonal
attraction. Four main explanations have been developed to account for why we develop
particular relationships. Proximity - this is the single most important predictor in who we
will develop relationships with, and is termed the 'propinquity effect'. We develop a certain
familiarity with people we see regularly, which is positive, in that it allows us to get to know
more about their behaviour.... [tags: Papers]

Huck Finn Racism - Huck Finn Racism The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a Mark
Twain classic, wonderfully demonstrates pre-Civil War attitudes about blacks held by
whites. Twain demonstrates these attitudes through the actions and the speech of
Huckleberry Finn, the narrator, and Jim, Miss Watson's slave. These two main characters
share a relationship that progresses from an acquaintance to a friendship throughout the
novel. It is through this relationship that Mark Twain gives his readers the realization of
just how different people's attitudes were before the Civil War.... [tags: essays papers]
example - This study sought to investigate the relationship between organizational climate
and the attitudes of employees towards e-learning in the workplace. First, organizational
climate is moderately associated with the employees attitudes towards e-learning in the
workplace. Specifically, factor 1 (Warmth/Support), factor 2 (Structure/Reward), and
factor 3 (Identity) are moderately correlated with the attitudes of employees towards e-
learning. In addition, organizational climate as an independent variable affected the
attitudes of employees towards e-learning empirically.... [tags: ]
Sport Psychology - A Summary of: The Psychosocial Characteristics of Olympic Track and

material that we have covered so far in sport psychology. After some quick searching, we
ran across a rather interesting article written in the International Journal of Sport
Psychology that could obviously be useful. Conveniently, it was in the most recent issue of
this particular journal available in the Evansdale Library. Entitled, Psychosocial
Characteristics of Olympic Track and Field Athletes, this article happened to be one that
we could easily relate too.... [tags: essays research papers]
National Socialism - The rise of National Socialism in post-WWI Germany is an
understandable reaction to the problems of the Versailles Peace Treaty, considering the
German attitudes and beliefs at the time. These attitudes and beliefs were the result of
generations of Prussian militarism, extreme racist nationalism, and, most importantly, the
failure of the Treaty of Versailles signed in June of 1919. The rise of the Nazi party, and
their extremist National Socialist doctrine appealed directly to these attitudes and beliefs
that permeated Germany society after the first World War.... [tags: essays research

Romanticism - Romantics often emphasized the beauty, strangeness, and mystery of
nature. Romantic writers expressed their intuition of nature that came from within. The
key to this inner world was the imagination of the writer; this frequently reflected their
expressions of their inner essence and their attitude towards various aspects of nature. It
was these attitudes that marked each writer of the Romantic period as a unique being.
These attitudes are greatly reflected in the poem When I Heard the Learned Astronomer
by Walt Whitman.... [tags: Romantic Movement Essays]
language - What is the Language of Thought Hypothesis. LOTH is an empirical thesis
about the nature of thought and thinking. According to LOTH, thought and thinking are
done in a mental language, i.e. in a symbolic system physically realized in the brain of the
relevant organisms. In formulating LOTH, philosophers have in mind primarily the
variety of thoughts known as propositional attitudes. Propositional attitudes are the
thoughts described by such sentence forms as S believes that P, S hopes that P, S
desires that P, etc., where S refers to the subject of the attitude, P is any sentence, and
that P refers to the proposition that is the object of the attitude.... [tags: essays research
