Fools and Love

In the play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare draws the reader’s attention to the roles of Nick Bottom, and Puck. Nick Bottom and Puck are both considered to be the fools in this play, although both characters fulfill this role in different ways. Bottom is a contemporary fool, who is overconfident and lacks common sense. While Bottom is very confident in himself, especially his acting ability, he is not a very intelligent character. Puck’s role in the play is more of a traditional fool. Puck plays practical jokes and enjoys entertaining though mischief. Puck’s service to the fairy king, Oberon, is similar to a jester’s role in a medieval society. Though the two fools of the play are very different, they offer several helpful observations about life and love. Bottom and Puck teach the audience valuable lessons about taking love too seriously, instead of enjoying it as it comes. The fools also offer insight on the consequences of being overly confident in oneself. The first lesson that the fools offer is that love should not be taken too seriously, but enjoyed just as it comes. Puck offers this insight in his quote, â€Å"Lord, what fools these mortals be† (Act 3, Scene 2, Line 116). After attempting to make Demetrius fall in love with Helena, Puck’s plan self-destructs when he realizes that he has put the love potion on the wrong man. When Puck watches the reaction of the young lovers, he realizes how silly it is for them to all be chasing after love so desperately, rather than taking it as it comes and enjoying it. Nick Bottom offers this same lesson through his short relationship with Titania, the fairy queen. Though Bottom is obviously not a perfect match for the beautiful Titania, he enjoys her affections while they last, never second-guessing that she could be in love with him. Though Titania’s affections for Bottom are induced by a potion, Bottom throws himself into his newfound relationship with her, unaware that Puck has transformed Bottom’s head into that of a donkey. When Bottom awakes and Titania’s affections for him have ended, Bottom enjoys the memories as though a dream. The second lesson that Shakespeare impresses upon his audience is the effect of over-confidence on others. Early in the play, Bottom gathers with the other actors to start planning their play. Rather than listen to Peter Quince, the stage manager, and take direction from him, Bottom wants to tell everyone what to do. He tells Quince how to announce the parts and how to organize the actors. Then, Bottom wants to play every single part in the play, and brags about how wonderful his portrayal of each character would be. Shortly after this scene, Puck changes Bottoms head into that of a donkey, which is symbolic of Bottom’s conceited behavior. Upon his entrance in the play, all of the other actors run away from Bottom and his grotesque appearance. Upon seeing Bottom, Quince yells, â€Å"O’ monstrous! O, strange! We are haunted. Pray, masters! Fly, masters! Help† (Act 3, Scene 1, Line 99-100). Puck changed Bottom’s appearance to match his personality by placing the head of the donkey on his shoulders. Puck, although obviously less power hungry than Bottom, also shows that he has plenty of confidence in himself. Puck exhibits his over-confidence at several points in the play, bragging about the tricks that he has played on others and enjoying laughing at their misfortune. The audience sees that Puck is also confident in his ability to serve Oberon, as well. When Oberon send Puck out to find Helena in the woods, Puck replies, â€Å"I go, I go, look how I go, swifter than arrow from the Tartar’s bow† (Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 100-101). By comparing his speed and accuracy to that of the Tartars, who were famous for their skill with a bow and arrow, Puck shows that he believes himself to be equally as accurate. This shows the audience a very confident Puck, but the audience cannot help but realize that Puck’s comparison of himself to the Tartars is an overexaggeration. Ironically, Puck is the reason that the mix-up with the love potion happened, so in effect, he is obviously not as accurate as he might like to think. The third lesson that is conveyed in the play is the basic concept that ignorance can be bliss. Nick Bottom is portrayed as an overly self-assured and ignorant fellow. He is absorbed in all things of himself and does not take much interest in anything that does not directly affect him. After Puck turns his head into that of a donkey, his fellow actors run away from him in fear. Instead of wondering what happened to scare them off, Bottom brushes it off and doesn’t think about it further. And again, when Bottom is awakening from his slumber in the forest after his short-lived romance with Titania, Bottom again shows his ignorance. Bottom remembers all of the things that had happened to him through the night, but he refuses to accept them as anything more than a dream. By brushing off these events as a mere fantasy, Bottom rejects reality and chooses to be ignorant of the events and remember them as nothing more than a dream. Puck is also ignorant of other people in the play. Puck’s only concern is entertaining himself and Oberon, and he does not consider anyone else in his actions. Early in the play, Puck talks about the pranks that he has been known to play, telling the audience that, â€Å"†¦ sometimes lurk I in a gossip’s bowl, in very likeness of a roasted crab, and when she drinks, against her lips I bob and on her withered dewlap pour the ale. The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, sometimes for three-foot stool mistaketh me; then slip I from her bum, down topples she, and â€Å"tailor† cries, and falls into a cough† (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 47-54). By turning himself into a crab and lurking in a bowl of ale to scare a woman, and making himself appear to be a stool so that when a woman sits on him, he can make her fall, Puck makes it obvious that he cares about nothing but entertaining himself and his king. Again, in Act Three, Puck shows his selfishness when he realizes that he has made a mistake with the young lovers in the woods and the love potion meant for Demetrius and Helena. When Puck tries to fix it, he realizes that now both men will fall in love with Helena. Rather than try to remedy the problem, Puck thinks it will be fun to watch. Puck shows his complete lack of interest in the young couples when he says, â€Å"Then will two at once woo one; that must needs be sport alone. And those things do best please me that befall preposterously† (Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 118-121). Puck shows a disregard for the true feelings of the young lovers so long as it is entertaining to him. In conclusion, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, contains two fools who are able to share insight into life and love throughout the play. Shakespeare strategically places Nick Bottom and Puck in the play as fools, but these fools have a purpose. Shakespeare uses Bottom and Puck to teach his audience valuable lessons about the importance of living in the moment of love, instead of taking love too seriously. Puck and Bottom also show the audience is that over-confidence is not an attractive quality in anyone. The fools also give new meaning to the old adage, â€Å"Ignorance is bliss†, through their actions in this play. Shakespeare illustrates this through the self-serving actions of both Bottom and Puck throughout the play. By using Bottom and Puck to illustrate these lessons, Shakespeare allows the audience to see how ridiculous these two characters are, thus enabling the audience to laugh at them while still receiving his message.

Organic lab. Comparison of alkanes and alkenes Essay

1. Volatility of methane, hexane, and paraffin Substance Methane Hexane Paraffin wax Observations Colorless gas, with a smell of sweet burnt alcohol. Clear, colorless liquid. Alcoholic smell, light but pungent. White, oily (waxy) solid. Very malleable, odorless. 1. Solubility of hexane and paraffin in water Substance Hexane + water Paraffin wax + water Observations Hexane when shaken with water does not dissolve. We can tell so because even though both liquids are clear and colorless, we can see a clear line which distinguishes one liquid from the other. The hexane floats right above the water, never mixing, and we can see the line of separation. Paraffin wax when shaken with water also does not dissolve. Even when finely ground, the solid pieces of wax float throughout the liquid and eventually deposit on the bottom of the test tube, never mixing with the water. 1. Combustibility of methane, hexane, and paraffin wax Substance Methane Hexane Paraffin wax Observations When the lighted splint is inserted in the test tube filled with methane, the flame quickly extinguishes itself, with a small spurt of black smoke. Right after, water vapour coats the walls of the test tube. Therefore, combustion occurred, since the water vapour means that H2O and CO2 are produced as bi products. The combustion almost complete, but not quite, since the black smoke suggests that a small amout of noxious CO and carbon were also produced. When the lighted splint is applied to the basin full of hexane, the whole surface of the alcohol catches fire (combusts) and a big flame forms, which lasts circa 5 minutes. As the fire blazes, some black smoke rises from it, and the walls of the evaporing basin become first light brown, and then progessively a darker shade of brown. This is the soot collecting on the basin. Therefore, a incomplete combustion occurred, in which the bi products of CO and carbon were released. Indeed, the soot is the amount of carbon produced by the combustion. The lighted splint does not cause the paraffin wax to combust. When applied, the heat of the fire of the splint causes the wax to melt, but not catch fire itself. This because the wax is in the solid fase, and so does not combust. It would need a candle wick, a piece of yarn inside the candle which catches fire and helps the candle melt. Part II – Comparison of alkanes and alkenes 1. Reaction of the double bond Substance Hexane + dilute sulfuric acid + potassium permanganate Hexene + dilute sulfuric acid + potassium permanganate Observations When the fucsia potassium permanganate is added to the clear hexane and sulfuric acid, the whole solution turns fucsia, as one would expect. Since there is no color change (the fucsia just happens to be the predominant color) no reaction occurred. When the fucsia potassium permanganate is added to the clear hexane and sulfuric acid, initially the whole solution turns fucsia. However right after there is a color change and the solution goes from fucsia, to light pink, to clear again. We can tell from the color change that an addition reaction occurred. 1. Combustibility of hexane and hexene Substance Hexane Hexene Observations When the lighted splint is applied to the basin full of hexane, the whole surface of the alcohol catches fire (combusts) and a big flame forms, which lasts circa 5 minutes. As the fire blazes, some black smoke rises from it, and the walls of the evaporing basin become first light brown, and then progessively a darker shade of brown. This is the soot collecting on the basin. Therefore, a incomplete combustion occurred, in which the bi products of CO and carbon were released. Indeed, the soot is the amount of carbon produced by the combustion. When the lighted splint is applied to the basin full of hexene, the whole surface of the alcohol catches fire (combusts) and a big flame forms, which lasts circa as long as the hexane combustion. As the fire blazes, a lot of thick black smoke rises from it, and the walls of the evaporing basin become first brown, and then progessively a darker until they become almost black. This is the soot collecting on the basin. Therefore, a incomplete combustion occurred, in which the bi products of CO and carbon were released. Indeed, the soot is the amount of carbon produced by the combustion. Since the basin of the hexene was darker than that of the hexane, we can deduce that the combustion of hexene is more incomplete. Part III – Alcohols and Carboxylic acids 1. Oxidation of ethanol Substance Ethanol + potassium dichromate + dilute sulfuric acid Observations When first placed in the water bath the solution turns from orange-yellow to first a light green. The smell is quite alcoholic and strong, pungent. After 5 minutes, the solution has become a darker shade of green, an almost turquoise color. The smell is a bit like a medicine, still a bit pungent (less though) and quite sweet – like cough syrup. After other 5 minutes, the color is now an intense forest green, and the smell is very sugary sweet. 1. Making esters Substance Ethanol + ethanoic acid + concentrated sulfuric acid Observations When first placed in the water bath the solution turns from a warm yellow color to first a light blue-green. The smell is very strong, pungent and unpleasant. After 5 minutes, the solution has become a more intense and dark shade of blue-green. The smell is still acidic and tangy, but now quite sweet. It is not unpleasant anymore. After other 5 minutes, the color is now an a very dark green, almost black, and the smell is almost like lemon pie, tangy but sugary at the same time. It is a nice scent. Data Analysis Part I – Alkanes 1. Volatility of methane, hexane, and paraffin 1. Methane CH4 (g) 1. Hexane C6H14 (aq) 1. Paraffin wax C20H42 (s) 1.

Making esters concentrated H2SO4 CH3CH2OH(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) CH3COOCH2CH3 (aq) + H2O(g) * These reactions are written as complete combustions, but in reality they were incomplete conbustions, as we can tell from the soot (carbon) left behind after the reaction. Therefore the products of these combustions would not only be CO2 and H2O (water vapour) but also the noious CO and Carbon (black smoke and soot). These equations thus do not represent fully the reaction which took place. Conclusion Part I – Alkanes 1. Volatility of methane, hexane, and paraffin The state of methane, hexane, and paraffin wax are gas, liquid, and solid at room STP, respectively. They are all alkanes, and therefore only have Van Der Waal intermolecular forces (they are non-polar, so do not have dipole dipole, and do not have any Hydrogen bonds as well), The stronger the intermolecular forces, the more energy (heat) it requires to break the bonds, the higher the MP. However, even though methane, hexane, and paraffin all have VDW forces, they have very different MP and BP, as seen from their physical state at room temperature. This is due to the difference in surface area of the three alkanes. Van Der Waal forces are stronger in molecules that have a larger surface area: indeed, paraffin wax, which can have a molecular formula of C20H42 to C40H82 which be a much longer chain than hexane (C6H14) which in turn will be longer than methane (CH4). Therefore, paraffin wax will have a higher MP than hexane, which will have a higher MP than methane. 1. Solubility of hexane and paraffin in water Since hexane did not mix with the water (there was a cler line of separation between the two substances) we can concude that hexane is not soluble in polar solutions, (water is the universal solvent for polar solutions). Therefore, hexane is non-polar, as its symmetrical structure (C6H14) would suggest (the dipole moments cancel out). Also paraffin wax did not mix with water. This is due to the fact that also paraffin wax is a alkane, and therefore will also be non polar, because of its symmetrical structure (eg: C20H42) with dipole moments which cancel out. Also, the fact that the wax was solid, and no heat was added to the solution, contrbuted probably to the insolubility of the wax in the water (even polar substances like sugar melt better when heat is applied). 1. Combustibility of methane, hexane, and paraffin wax Methane combusted when the lighted splint was applied. The flame extinguishes itself quickly, and the products CO2 and H2O are formed (water vapour). However, the combustion is not complete, because also some black smoke (Carbon and CO) are produced, since there is not enough oxygen and the carbons in the reactants are not combusted completely. Likewise, also the hexane combusts when the lighted splint is applied (a huge flame erupts). However, the hexane has a more incomplete combustion. We can tell from the substantial amount of soot (carbon) left on the evaporating basin, much greater than the thin black smoke generated from the combustion of methane. The paraffin wax, even though it is an alkane, is in its solid state and therefore does not combust. When the lighted splint is applied, the wax changes state from solid to liquid. Therefore, no reaction occurs, and the products of combustion are not formed (CO2 and H2O, and Carbon and CO). If a wollen wick were to be inserted, then combustion would occur. Part II – Comparison of alkanes and alkenes 1. Reaction of the double bond Hexane did not react with the potassium permanganate, since the color did not change. This because the alkanes are saturated (do not have any double bonds) and therefore cannot perform addition reactions. Hexene instead reacts with the potassium permanganate (KMnO4), aided by the concentrated H2SO4 to form C3H6O2 and KMnO2. We can tell see the reaction visually, for the potassium permanganate is fucsia, and therefore tinges the whole solution of a pink, but after the reaction occurs the solution becomes clear, since the products are different. This because it is an alkene, and therefore unsaturated, so other molecules can add into it to form different products. The carbon-carbon double bond is very reactive. However the alkene could not react with the potassium permanganate without the catalyst H2SO4 to facilitate the reaction. 1. Combustibility of hexane and hexene Hexane and hexene both combust when the lighted splint is applied. They both catch fire, and burn for circa 5 minutes. They both produce CO2 and H2O (water vapour is formed, and moisture is left behind after the fire extinguishes), and also Carbon and CO (black smoke rises from the flame, and soot is left behind on the basin. Therefore, there is not enough oxygen, and the hexane and hexene do not combust completely, generating these noxious, unwanted products. The main difference is that hexene has a more incomplete combustion than hexane, since it leaves behind much more dirt and soot, coloring the basin pitch black, while the hexane only leaves a bit of soot, coloring the basin of a lighter brown. Therefore, the combustion of hexene requires more oxygen than that of hexane, since the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere remains more or less constant. Part III – Alcohols and Carboxylic acids 1. Oxidation of ethanol The oxidation of ethanol is an oxidation of a primary alcohol. The reaction can occur because all the reaction conditions are present: heat, the oxidizing agent (K2Cr2O7 ) and the catalyst (H2SO4). Therefore, the alcohol (CH3CH2OH) first will form an aldehyde through distilling (low ratio of oxidizing agent to alcohol) but then through reflux it will form a carboxyllic acid (CHà ¢COOH). We can notice the reaction occurring by observing the changes in the test tube. Initially yellow-orange, the solution then turns green. Also, we notice a change in scent, from a pungent alcoholic scent, to a sweeter, more pleasant smell. 1. Making esters A reaction occurs when the ethanol and the ethanoic acid, aided by the catalyst H2SO4 and heat, form an ester CH3COOCH2CH3 and water. Also here, the reaction only occurs because the reaction conditions were present: heat and catalyst H2SO4. We can notice the reaction occurring by observing the changes in the test tube. The color changes from a warmer color, to a colder, blue-green color. Also, we notice a change in scent, from a pungent alcoholic scent, very unpleasant, to a fruity, sweet and tangy smell like lemon pie. Indeed, esters are used as artificial flavouring, replicsting the smell of fruits.

Business Strategy in a Global Environment Case Study - 1

Business Strategy in a Global Environment - Case Study Example As the discussion stresses  Samsung Mobile falls under the IT and Mobile Communications division. Currently, Samsung Mobile holds the leading position in the smart phone industry with a market share of 23.7 %.   The global smart phone industry grew by 27.2 % in the second quarter of 2014. The number of units shipped has increased from 218.8 million to 281.5 million in a year in 2014. Samsung Mobile caters to a wide range of customer base, from budget conscious to premium consumers. The company holds the 13th rank in the Fortune 500 list with revenue of $ 208.9 billion.  This paper highlights that  the political scenario of a region puts significant effect on the business operations of a company. The sudden change in overseas business regulations is likely to hamper the business of multinational companies like Samsung. Moreover, large multinational companies become easy target politicians in their power play. In 2005, politician Roh Hoe-Chan allegedly released evidences of ill egal fund channelling by Samsung’s chairman Lee Kun-Hee. Although the final verdict announced Samsung’s chair man to be innocent, but as a result of the long lasting law suit, the brand image of the company was hampered and it also broke the investor’s trust.  The hostility between North Korea and South Korea has also emerged as a growing concern for Samsung. The company’s massive production plant in Tangjeong, South Korea will be affected badly if North Korea attacks South Korea.

Chapter 10 & 11 Assignment Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words - 1

Chapter 10 & 11 - Assignment Example Managers even have to hire employees for the safety department; the task of the employees of the safety department is to collect information about the incidents that take place in the organization. 2. Incentive programs are used by managers as a means to stimulate employees to use safety measures during their everyday work. Incentive programs have been successful for a certain extent, but these measures even have a downside. Employees do not provide timely information to managers to ensure that managers continue the functionality of the incentive programs. If managers fail to counter the issues in a timely manner, the issues become worse and uncontrollable. When the incentive programs are discontinued by the managers, employee performance decreases and even becomes worse. The theory of needs produced by Maslow states that individuals are motivated to fulfill their needs and they have different levels of needs. The theory even states that individuals first try to accomplish their basic needs, and then they pursue the remaining needs. Example of psychological need includes shelter, example of safety needs includes job security, example of social needs include colleagues in work place, and example of esteem needs includes aims and objectives in life. Once all these needs are fulfilled, managers start helping others. 4. The need achievement theory of McClelland states that individuals have a need to attain power, be affiliated with others and achieve something in life (Friend, 2010, p.236). The theory even states that some individuals have a higher degree of desire to fulfill the need for power than other needs. The theory states that need for achievement refers to an individual’s desire to be around friends and family members, the need for power refers to their desire of being able to influence others and the need for achievement refers to an individual’s desire to achieve aims and objectives in life. 5.

Offshoring Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

Offshoring - Essay Example The work of Robert Reich focuses on different reasons of growing poor and rich discriminations in the US. This paper identifies various reasons and discuses their further reasons and consequences. It then tries to evaluate some policies which are needed to prevent the unexpected situation of income inequality. And the last paper, Roger LeRoy Miller, Daniel K. Benjamin and Douglass Cecil Northfocuses on the various facts and figures of prevalence of poverty in the US and suggests several policies which are needed to be implemented by the government to restrict the situation. The problem of low income and income inequality mainly arises from offshoring and calls for appropriate policies from the side of the government Blinder: The main purpose of his work is to relate the concept of offshoring with the US labor market and to understand its problems and possible solutions and effects. The key question of this paper is how to prepare the future labor force of US in the face of rapid offs horing of US companies. Over the last few years the demand for labour has shifted from technologically low skilled, less educated people to high skilled and well educated people. This led to income inequalities in the US.Hence, policies were needed to be applied. In the 1990s, the United State Congress has used the policy of raising the minimum wage and has increased the Earned Income Tax Credit (Blinder, 2009, p. 9). With the combination of the tight labour market, these policies have raised disposable income of the average workers and have improved their living conditions. But the basic assumption behind this success was that there was not any labour migration during this time of policy evaluation. The major future challenge for the US is â€Å"offshoring†. In the US, service sector offshoring has not been that much significantly higher; only 1% of the total services jobs have been offshored so far (Blinder, 2009, p. 10). There can be three basic reasons for more increment in the offshoring of services jobs. First, there are more absolute numbers of services jobs compared to that of manufacturing jobs. Second, technological advancements are more related with the growth of services jobs. Hence, recent developments in technologies have caused this difference in the growth paths. And finally, the labor market of India and China are more consistent with the technologies related to services jobs.The author has distinguished between two types of facts that are responsible for offshoring – personal and impersonal reasons. This is the most important information that the author has pointed out and this is the key idea of the whole paper. In this context the author suggested few points that are needed to be considered while preparing the future labor force of the US- putting more emphasis on education of children, focusing on one link (like technology) at a time and differentiating between novel differences with the traditional differences in jobs.One of the possible implications of these policies is that there would be huge income differences, not in terms of educational level, but also in terms of the skills that workers have. But in the future education will not become constrained. For public jobs, increases in the salary scales can work well in this regard. Again, some o the jobs are lacking proper training

Nutritional quality of rapeseed oil and health benefits of omega fatty Essay

Nutritional quality of rapeseed oil and health benefits of omega fatty acids - Essay Example The plant bears yellow flowers. Rapeseed is popular for the oil that can be produced from it. The most popular brand is the canola oil, which is a refined form of rapeseed oil. Until a few years ago, Rapeseed oil was used as an efficient lubricant for steam engines. Currently, the oil is used as biofuel and human edible oil and the by-product is used as animal food (USDA, 2010). The oil has high levels of erucic acid and glucosinolate because of which it tastes bitter. Canola oil has lesser amount of acid and glucosinolate and hence is palatable. It has higher quantities of omega fatty acids which reduce LDL cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels (USDA, 2010). Canola oil has low saturated fat and high levels of monounsaturated oil. Infact, when compared to other vegetable edible oils like sunflower oil, corn oil and peanut oil, canola oil has very low ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats. The main omega fatty acid present in the oil is alpha-linolenic acid, which is an omega-3 f atty acid. 1.3 grams of this fatty acid is present in one serving of the oil. 1ml of the oil yields 12 calories and 1.4 grams of fat. Only 10 percent of the fat is saturated. The oil has no cholesterol, protein, carbohydrate or sodium. The oil is rich in vitamin E which is a valuable anti-oxidant (Ingle, 2010). Despite the popularity of the rapeseed oil as safe and beneficial edible oil, many experts have condemned the nutritional benefits of the oil. Some researchers are of the opinion that the useful ingredients of the oil are destroyed in industrial manufacturing and that during such a process, trans-fatty acids develop which are not only harmful to the body but also are detrimental to the beneficial actions of the useful ingredients of the oil. Some experts opine that Canola oil or the irradiated rapeseed oil can cause certain problems of the central nervous system like tremors, palsy, shaking, uncoordination of movements, slurring of speech, blurring

Toxicant Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Toxicant - Research Paper Example With such a profile, one would expect that there would be no intake of the metal in humans. However, the metal that is a common pollutant in soil, water and air is exposed to humans through these agents as well as food and consumer products (Kacew & Lee, 2013). The greatest exposure occurs through breathing it in or swallowing. Exposure through the air is mainly as a result of motor vehicle exhaust resulting from the use of leaded gasoline (Who. int, 2014). The exhaust avails the lead in air, which is then taken into the body through breathing. Then there are the industrial sources such as lead manufacturing and recycling industries as well as smelters that result in the release of the metal into the air in the process of workings (National Research Council (U.S.), 2013). At home lead paints act as the main source of exposure through the air. The paint chips from the walls or movable objects, creating lead dust. Naturally, lead occurs in small amounts in source water. However, the use of lead plumbing materials has made the metal available in drinking water in large amounts. The pipes leach the metal slowly into the water. Depending on the temperature, acidity and standing time on the water, large concentrations of lead may result from the plumbing with the low detectability of the metal making it prone to consumption (Who.int, 2014). The high cost of removing the old piping propagates this method of exposure. However, the contamination and therefore exposure to lead through water may be the result of secondary pollution of water by industrial effluents (National Research Council (U.S.), 2013). Exposure through foods results from the consumption of foods handled using lead based containers. Lead cans and ceramics provide chippings that are consumed with the food. The presence of lead in the body may be detected by studying blood cells using a microscope for changes or using X-rays with the metal appearing as dense

I need you to read the syllabus first and you choose any topic Essay

I need you to read the syllabus first and you choose any topic - Essay Example Both agricultural and non-agricultural toxic compounds causing bad effects on ecological and human health; however, it is difficult to separate these effects caused from those compounds which are intentionally released by the industries as by-products or waste materials. Nevertheless, there is wide evidence that agricultural use of pesticides has a major impact on water quality and leads to serious environmental and human health problems. Factors affecting toxicity of pesticide in water Many factors of pesticides affect the quality of water causing it more toxic, degrading and lethal 1. Toxicity Concentration of the pesticide which is enough to kill half of the test organisms in a specific test period is termed as lethal dosage (â€Å"Pesticides as Water Pollutants†). The lethal dose is inversely proportional to toxicity. Thus, the lower the lethal dosage is, the higher is the toxicity. Values ranging from 0-10 are considered as extremely toxic. Toxic response can be life thre atening or chronic, causing severe health problems, for instance, cancer, infertility, hormonal imbalance, digestive problem, etc. 2. Persistence Persistence is measured by the half-life of a pesticide. It is very important to find out about the persistency of a pesticide since it gives an idea about how poisonous a pesticide can be. Persistency is inversely proportional to lethality of a pesticide, that is, the more the persistency is, the lesser is the pesticide lethal (â€Å"Pesticides as Water Pollutants†). 3. Degradation The eroding of pesticides into other products can lead to many other problems. The newly formed by-products can have different persistency, and lethality that can totally change the surrounding in which they are present. One of the examples is DDT. When it is degraded, it forms other substance (DDD and DDE) which have totally different persistency and risks. Chronology of pesticide development The impact on water pollution is related mainly to the active ingredient present in the pesticide formulation. However, additives that are used to prepare the final formulation that include wetting agents, diluents, solvents, buffers, emulsifiers, preservatives and adhesives can be the cause of water contamination. Other than the agents used for the preparation of pesticides, degrades and the by-products formed during its usage can also contaminate water and lead to water pollution. Below are the details in chronological order of various pesticides, their sources and characteristics that have been used for many years and led to water pollutions. From 1800 to 1920 In the early period, the most useful pesticides were petroleum oils, nitro-phenols, naphthalene, chlorophenols, and creosote. These products were non-specific in nature, thus causing toxicity in targeted as well as non-targeted organisms. The source of these compounds was either laboratory preparation or by-products of coal gas productions. From 1945 to 1970 Many products that were u sed during this period were organically synthesized. Pesticides like chlorinated organic, chlorinated cyclodienes, HCCH, and DDT were persistent in nature and had a wide range of selectivity among different organisms whereas pesticides like organophosphorus compounds, carbamates, and cholinesterase inhibitors had lower resistance and caused not only user toxicity but serious water contaminatio

'In company reporting, the measurement of the amount of impairment of Essay

'In company reporting, the measurement of the amount of impairment of many types of assets is so subjective as to be meaningless - Essay Example For that financial activity, they are totally free to judge, determine and allocate their impairment estimation. The International Financial Reporting Standards, which are commonly known as IFRS, are unable to provide any guidance for the purpose of having an authorised and agreed way of judging and assigning the level of fixed assets impairment. After determining and issuing the International Accounting Standards number 36, in short IAS 36, the management of IFRS has become satisfied that they have successfully played and performed their job in the most positive way. Unfortunately, this level of contribution from the management of IFRS has only increased the use of subjectivity for the purpose of determining and assigning impairment for fixed assets. A huge amount of possible implications cannot be avoided. Many companies use this type of freedom to determine and allocate that level of impairment that may only support the interests of management at the cost of real owners-the shareh olders. By determining the level of impairment for different types of assets, many companies become successful in engineering the type of financial statements that they want to show and declare in the public. Multiple impacts can be appeared on the financial statements. For example, for the statement of comprehensive income, the impact of impairment would be that it would show less net profit than it could have shown in case of no loss of impairment. Furthermore, this would directly and negatively show its effects on dividends of the company as well. Due to the occurrence of the impairment loss, the company is required to reduce the amount of profit. Consequently, less amount of dividend would be announced and given to the shareholders of the company. The shareholders could have given more dividends if the company had not shown the occurrence of the impairment loss. Additionally, if the amount of impairment is substantial and material, then undoubtedly, this would negatively impact on the valuation of the business of the company; aggregately, company may experience a reduced level of confidence by shareholders, individual and institutional investors as well. In the same context, the announcement of material impairment could impact on a share price of the company. And this impact would show its presence by forcing the share price to reduce its current level of price to the level of reduced amount. All in all, the use of subjectivity for the purpose of determining a particular amount of impairment has put a considerable amount of impact on the financial statements, share price, reduced amount of dividends, tax saving, and other short term and long term impacts. International Accounting Standard 36: Impairment of assets The main and fundamental aim of this standard is to ensure that the long term fixed assets are carried and incorporated into the financial statements at no more than their recoverable amount. Before going to further understand and analyse the conc ept and application of impairment, it is highly important to define and understand the meaning of assets which come directly under the ambit of impairment loss. International Accounting Standards Board has defined the concept of asset as â€Å" an asset of an entity is (a) cash held by the entity; (b) a present right of the entity to cash; or

It will also give an example from an article that has reflected ethical standards of conduct and financial reporting. The basic four components of financial management are planning, controlling, organizing and directing and decision making. The preparation is responsibility for financial management to recognize the purposes of the health care organization. The planning step is to â€Å"set directions and allocates resources, the organizing step brings people and material resources together in working condition, the leading step inspires people to best utilize these resources, and the controlling step checks that the right things happen, in the right way, and at the right time† (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, amp; Kramer, 2007,). Controlling is the process of the financial management to ensure that each department of the organization are going by the procedures that was decided. The financial manager should have the reports available to study the most recent financial reports. The reports will help to select what department needs the most consideration to keep the organization going.

Generally accepted accounting principles is a set of financial recommendations used for financial accounting. The recommendations are for preparing financial statements and for setting standards for organizations accountants. According to Baker (2011), â€Å" One of the requirements of GAAP is that unrestricted fund balances be separated from restricted fund balances on the statements, so you see two appropriate line items (restricted and unrestricted) in the fund balance section† (p. 108). GAAP are the rules of accounting. Those guidelines are to arrange the reporting of financial statements that will include the cash flow statements, income statements, and the balance sheet. With the reply of these responsibilities, the Organization of Managing Bookkeepers declared principles of moral conduct for employees of managing bookkeeping and financial management. The principles take account for confidentiality, integrity, and competence. A person must maintain knowledge and the necessary skills is what includes competence. They must always maintain their professional responsibilities and duties in accordance with related rules, technical standards, and regulations. Confidentiality when one should not disclose confidential information, such as health records except when given the right authority to do so. Integrity has the responsibility not to engage in activities that would affect prejudgment, favors that will influence their actions and decision making. According to† Ethical Standards† (n. d),â€Å"Specialists of managing bookkeeping and monetarist managing partake an commitment to the community, their line of work, the institute they work for and themselves, to uphold the utmost principles of decent manner. Hewlett-Packard Company CEO, Mark Hurd turn out to be mixed up in the workplace.

Practicing accuracy end honesty will help continue the capacity to never misuse the financial systems, and abide by the laws laid out by GAAP. Organizations are providing their employees with the necessary training that will equip them as well as sustain the reporting practices operational but at the time use the similar procedures and show them new procedures. Fraud and abuse is something everyone know when being ethical. By using the GAAP guidelines, keeping the organizational ethics and policies would be free from abuse and fraud. By following the guidelines that comes from the GAAP, they can help prevent fraud and abuse from happening in the health care organization itself. These guidelines are there to help the organization benefit so they will always be ready in case there may come a time when they have to show their financial documents to a third party. Therefore in conclusion, it a major responsibility in financial reporting practices and ethics. Financial managers should implement the four elements of financial management in their reports to avoid fraud, abuse and the risk of breaking ethics. Managers should know how to plan, control, organize and directing and decision making. They should always incorporate the GAAP rules and regulations in order to avoid unethical rulings.

Ethical Issues in the Professions and Business Essay Example for Free

Ethical Issues in the Professions and Business Essay Professionals and other business personalities all share a common ground of responsibility towards that people that they particularly aim to serve. As individuals handling several procedures of servicing the society, it is undeniable that professionals follow a certain line of responsibilities that lead them towards the procedures of being able to complete the said tasks that they have towards the society that they are serving. To make the discussion concise, there are three major sets of responsibilities that each professional should give attention to. A) The Journalists Each member of the society has his or her own values in life that must be served by journalists. As for a fact, people are rightfully given the chance to know what is happening in the society around them. However, when they are involved in the issues presented by the media, whether they are from the local sectors of the society or that of the well-known personalities, they are entitled to having their own privacy and this too should be well guarded by journalists in their process of presenting the truth to the public. On the contrary, the aim of the institutions that journalists are serving such as media networks is to present as many credible facts as possible. To make the ends meet, it is important for the journalists to measure the impact of the society and their company as well towards their professional being. B) The Teachers Teachers are primarily expected to render service that is connected to sharing knowledge. It lies in their hands the wide possibilities of coming up with effective procedures of handling the needs of their students. The institutions that they are serving however aim for enrolling as many students that the institution could cater to. It is then in the discretion of the teacher on how he or she could be able to give the students the education that they need though applying a process that could cater to a huge number of students in an effective manner. C) The Lawyers It is the service of providing justice to all, that lawyers are particularly expected to render to the society.   Undeniably, the values of the society in this manner are to be highly considered. Serving the truth to those who need to know it and to those who need to be free is the key role that lawyers portray in the arena of justice provision. Once the lawyers are faced with a case that needs to be solved, whether they are in the defendants or the accused side, they must recognize the fact that they are there to render the truth to whoever is entitled to receive it.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Causes

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Causes Herla Dorvil Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of many public health issues America faces. It is among the leading causes of death in the United States. It is affects more Americans just as any other disease. People with COPD are impacted where it can affect daily living. Due to the destruction of the alveoli in lungs, more individuals are requiring hospitalization frequently. Many people are diagnosed with COPD each year. COPD is a group of chronic pulmonary diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema that impair air flow to the lungs causing difficulty in breathing. According to (Chen et al., 2013), the World Health Organization has reported approximately 5/100 deaths worldwide due to COPD. Although COPD is a huge issue in public health, still many are unaware of the risk factors, target population it affects and the impact this creates in someones life. There are many ways that people can develop COPD. COPD occurs mostly in current or former smokers. Cigarette smoking and long-term exposures irritates and damage the lungs. â€Å"Cigarette smoke causes progressive destruction of the lung tissue, resulting in irreversible narrowing and scarring of the airways and loss of the alveolar interface where gas exchange takes place.† (Barnes et al., 2011, p. 612) Environmental factors such as air pollution, dust particles, and chemicals are also detrimental to one getting COPD. People who work around chemicals for a long time are at risk to damaging their lungs. The chemicals that are inhaled from the work environment and air pollution causes serious affects to the lungs. Breathing in secondhand smoke also poses a risk because they are around it all the time. People are most likely to develop COPD after being around family members who smoke or have a history of smoking. Another factor is the heredity of alpha one antitrypsin deficiency . An absence of alpha one antitrypsin increases your risk for lung disease. The lungs are protected by this protein and it is produced in the liver. It protects the body from unwanted effects from other proteins that cause harm to different organs of the body (Cox, 2011). Some patients that have asthma are usually categorized under chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. It affects the lungs by narrowing the airways and making it hard for one to breathe and usually have to take maintenance drugs if necessary. Common symptoms that are seen with COPD are chronic cough, increase in sputum production, chest tightness, wheezing, and shortness of breath. People with COPD usually have exacerbations, which is when their condition becomes worst over time. COPD is more common in older age groups and is said to be prevalent in women. People who get COPD are usually 18 years and older. Sometimes individuals are unaware that they have COPD until later in life after it progresses and they start developing symptoms. Studies say that women are twice as likely as men to get COPD. Although COPD affects all ages and mostly older age, the prevalence is high among adults less than 65 years old (Barnes et al., 2011). Due to under diagnosis the amount of people who have COPD may be higher. Many people don’t go to get regular check-ups and don’t have the money to do so, therefore they go a long time without noticing symptoms and end up finding out when it exacerbates. COPD is a chronic progressive disease that affects the pulmonary system creating a huge burden on ones life depending on the severity. Some patients with COPD experience weight loss skeletal muscle dysfunction and it makes it difficult to perform daily living activities as well as physical activities. The disease can cause one to experience shortness of breath with any type of movement. Kulich, Molen, Polkey, Rabinovich, Troosters, Vogiatzis (2013) emphasizes that the lack of physical activity contributes to the progression of the disease and creating poor outcomes. It is marked as reasons for mortality in hospitalized stations for many individuals. When physical activity is increased, it produces better outcomes for the patient. As the disease progresses individuals are frequently hospitalized, thus creating increased debt and healthcare expenditures. According to Chen et al. (2013), the average amount of medical expenses for a COPD patient is estimated at $27,656 per year, which i s four times higher than the average cost for patients without the disease. The individual has to constantly buy medication and it also creates problems at home where it interferes with their economic stability. It causes one to become unstable and unable to pay their bills and incompetent to take care of their selves which then leads them into depression. â€Å"In individuals with COPD, depression is significantly associated with decreased functional status; impair quality of life and disease progression and mortality.† (Das, Negi, Pandey , Raval, Sarkar, 2014 p.403) Due to the clinical depression, patients may not be in compliance with their management programs such as taking their medications, attending smoking cessation programs and pulmonary rehabilitation. By not taking these measures it leads to poor clinical outcomes and patients tend to relapse. COPD Individuals with depression cause higher financial problems for themselves. Das et al (2014) also showed that the occ upational status of a person showed an association with the presence of depression which develop into mood disorders. Not only is there an economic burden and depression, it also triggers other illnesses that will generate further complications (Chen et al., 2013). Some people later get peripheral artery disease, stroke and lung cancer. The impact of COPD can causes people to completely stop working because of the severity and the complications it produces. An understanding of the chronic disease complexity can help improve the quality of life for those individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Recognizing the impact of COPD may help the population to better identify, to get proper treatment and to reduce severity and exacerbations. The population of young, older men and women has to be educated and be made aware of the risk factors and importance of preventing the disease progress for a better and an improvement in life expectancy.

FUNDAMENTALS: THE RASTAFARIAN LIFESTYLE Essay -- essays papers

FUNDAMENTALS: THE RASTAFARIAN LIFESTYLE The Rastafarian religion is unique in having few set beliefs to follow or doctrines to live by. Its African origins teach unity and love among all. There is no unified Rasta church, but it does however hold certain philosophies sacred and a number of principles true. People who believe that Selassie is divine or of divine nature are called Rastafarians. The religion is about justice and freedom of the Black race. It was born from the pains of oppression (Erskine, pg 161, 1998). The messages speaks of freedom from physical and mental slaveries of all kinds. The Rasta philosophy opposes violence, and practices a more peaceful means of resistance. The first evidence of Rastafarians in Jamaica date back to 1930 (Nicholas, pg 25, 1996). The community generally holds some truths evident, but beliefs may vary. But all are united that Haile Selassie was divine. They believe that he was the living God, returned. He was Ethiopia's emperor, but was considered a holy prophet by many more (Baptis t, 1997). There was also a strong movement to renew African culture in ones everyday life. Fundamental Ideas Rastafarians must explore the different ideals presented to them by communicating with Jah, their God, and through careful examination of the Bible. By living a natural life and giving praise to Jah through every deed are key methods to living an eternal life (Nicholas, pg 31, 1996). Through meditation the followers arrive at the truths, and begin to come to understanding what has been left out of the Christian Bible. The Bible gives a representation of the past and future, but can really only be understood within oneself. The idea of personal experience and being guided by Jah shows the Rastafa... ...1998.

Tam Kevin Do English AP – Period 4 Ms. Ridley January 6th, 2014 Winter Break Assignment: Of Mice and Men Title: Of Mice and Men Author: John Steinbeck Period/Settings: 1930’s / Soledad, California Narrative Stance / Point of View: Third Person Omniscient Brief Description of Main Characters: George: George is a small man with restless eyes, strong hands, slender arms, and a thin nose. Although he expresses a tense and grumpy attitude most of the time, he never backs away from his duty of protecting his friend, Lennie. Lennie: Lennie, in contrast with George, is a large man with pale eyes, wide shoulders, and a shapeless face. He possesses physical strength of monstrous proportions and he is fond of petting small creatures. Because he usually finds trouble from his words and actions, he allows his partner to do all of the talking for him. Brief Description of Minor Characters: Slim: Slim is a tall skinner who is well known in the business. He is the person to go to when there are conflicts because the rest of the workers view him as the leader. Crooks: A black man who goes by â€Å"stable buck†. He is often alone in the stable due to his skin tone and is isolated from the rest of the men. His name originates from obtaining a crooked back by being kicked by a horse. Candy: An old worker who lost his hand in a farm accident. He has a weak voice and cannot stand up for himself or for others. Carlson: A powerful, big-stomached man who has a short temper when it comes to smelly dogs. Curley: An aggressive son of the boss that owns the ranch. Curley is thin young man who has a brown face, brown eyes, and curly hair. He loves to pick fights on innocent people to boost his ego. Curley’s Wife: She is a character that doesn’t... ...d hit to the blacks. Steinbeck attempts to convey the theme: segregation leads to insecurity and loneliness. Implied in the passage, Crooks had more space than the other men but this space makes up for the isolation between him and the white men. Instead of feeling grateful for have a room for himself, he expresses loneliness because he is not allowed to spend time with the other men. Steinbeck utilizes setting in this passage to parallel the lonely lives of others such as Candy by giving insight to Crooks’ life of abandonment. In addition he uses imagery to depict the simple yet incomplete life of Crooks by mentioning the scattered personal possessions of his. The dominant impression that Steinbeck conveys is that discrimination leads to a life of imprisonment and loneliness. He also exposes a tone of solitude to help reiterate Crooks’ diminishing lifestyle.

This tralatitious bedevil has translated alteration in their cuisine, which is before long seeming(a) in the Mexican pabulum impost.digression from its penetrating discretion and symptomatics, Mexican victuals grants remedy office and engross comm yet in internal-cu red-faced sermon proceedings. The herbaceous plants and genes in the Mexican sustenance argon the get word fates for the readiness of remediation action. Mexican herbs ar rummy in their protest delegacy. The characteristic of these herbs be the indispensable lend actor for this therapy to be possible. In the bleed of our discussion, the Mexican enculturation, plainly in scathe of intellectual nourishment- booze-colored-colored-coloured and restaurants, sh solely in any be the indigenous counsel of the study.The involvements of fuddle and provender, in the reek of curative action, as the sourcehand conventional bow sh wholly be flesh out and specify in the study. The regularize of food and herbs in Mexican handed-d receiveistic therapy shall be in the like manner tackled in the ladder of discussion. Lastly, we shall research the San Francisco atomic exit 20 verbalize and the Mexican exultation of Cinco de mayo. The Mexican gloss consumees a heritage in either(prenominal) al integrity(predicate) view that greatly deno unces its aesthetic value. situation or tralatitious Therapies pabulum and Herbs The Mexican customss argon self-possessed of nifty herbs and divisions that bequeath sanative ca usage.The conventional root of Mexicans possesses no or less(prenominal) a great deal preserve facility, supplies k promptlying for uncorrupted lifestyle, and usage risque in functional(a) family-therapies hence, they atomic number 18 to a greater extent accustomed in their tralatitious redress incumbrance utilizing their innate reference books. In fact, Mexican possesses unembellished intemperateness in their traditions that they privilege to see their food, and early(a) home condiments in earthy demesne or do from nature-oriented proceeding. This greatly improves their health conditions, and digests them with practical source of alterative interventions.The sancti whizd quality of Mexican foods is its al 1(p) way of expressing its bite and handed-down aroma. ato mic number 53 of the changes that submit remediation personal effects in the consistency is the Capsaicin, which is a elemental instalment of blank alters much(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) as the red white pepper and the habanero. Capsaicin has several(prenominal) applys, including usage in in-person defending tea timem sprays and as to arrogate arthritis incommode. When first employ to skin, capsaicin intellects topical anaesthetic estrus and toughness. However, later repeated physical exertion, the orbital cavity becomes desensitized to pain without deprivation of the intelligence of trace (Fox & Whitesell, 1997 p.550). Capsaicin pepper has been image to work as an anticoagulant, at that placefrom by chance luck to resist touch base attacks or strokes ca employ by the ecesis of c slews in contrast vessels. It excessively stimulates the drudgery of endorphins, which is the bodys raw(a) painkillers, and kills the endorse bact eria cognise to cause ulcers. an some oppositewise(a)wise(prenominal) pepper is the Cayene, which is an grand dowry of Mexican sweltering sauce. Cayene adds the grim step on it to legion(predicate) paganal foods, such as siamese connection and Mexican food, and can be utilise in marinades and grill sauces.This pepper is thick in vitamin C, A, B- interlocking, E and some other minerals (Balch, p. 147 2003). both(prenominal) other food ingredient of Mexican foods that possesses remediation countenance is the pumpkin vine seeds. The seeds from the pumpkin, as considerably as cognise as pepitas, ar favourite ingredient in Mexican dishes, and argon operable with or without their shells. This pepitas provide natural substance of grappleing unregularity cod to its type content. More all over, it is go away with Mexican conventional recipes such as burittos or Nachos, non gross(a)ly to provide delightful discretion go on to a fault to show ru mmy piquantnessing.These pepitas be juicy in calories and indissoluble fibers, which foster earlier in puddle in digestive parcel of land thereby facilitating decline of all the aforementioned(prenominal)t of harm (Gilbert, 2000 p. 178). In hurt of Mexican wine, it provides uncomparable blends of tradition served in originate in glasses. wine-colored is the universal duo of Mexican foods in swan to campaign the sharpness of the dishes. Mexican wine classifications possess the usual red and white wine, which be in the main obtained from harvestings mixed with spices. The northerly end of Baja calcium is one of the places in Mexico that is cognize to brewage wine at its take up (Dumois, n.d). Citizens of Mazahua and Otoml b danger in primordial Mexico subscribe pulque from childhood, because of two its nutritionary properties and scarcity of water. Pulque is an alky drunkenness obtained from maguey, which composes primarily of mazy fruit sugars (P eele & Grant, 1999 p. 93). wine-colored quickens the pulse, raises the spirits, and arctic against distemper and as a nutritionetical aid. It is excessively utilise as medicate in groovy and continuing diseases. wine-colored is proven unplayful for cardiovascular system, specially in decrease risks of arterial sclerosis or other cardiovascular-degenerative disorders. victuals & Herbs Mexican Traditions Mexican viands of to twenty-four hour period is complete in a miscellanea of foods and dishes that portray a blend of pre-Columbian, Spanish, french, and to a greater extent recently, American culture. The regular Mexican aliment is fecund in intricate carbohyd order, provided in the main by clavus and gamboge products, beans, rice, and breads, The exemplary Mexican fodder contains an fit sum of money of protein in the forms of beans, eggs, fish and shellfish, and a material body of meats, including beef, pork, poultry, and goat. Because of the grand use of heat up as a preparation method, the Mexican sustenance is as well as towering in fat.The nutrients just slightly possible to be inadequately provided argon calcium, iron, vitamin A, folic paneling and vitamin C (Spark, 2007 p. 258). In umpteen cultures, food has emblematical contents associate to family traditions, tender status, and level off health. Indeed, galore(postnominal) kin group remedies avow on food. both(prenominal) of these lay down gained replete(p) acceptance, such as the use of spices and herb tea teas for purposes ranging from allaying anxiousness to pr scourting crabmeat and sum disease. Mexicans use these herbal teas as dietary or minify swallows to induce further or excite metamorphosis as well as digestive functions.In fact, herbal teas argon rubicund exuberant that the over-the-hill Mexican traditions expend its tipsiness around everyday. This tea is collected of rudimentary Mexican herbs, such as cinnamon, parsely, etc. , and unify with intimate Mexican spices hence, many of their teas ar mingle with cracked-mannered ribal ironic (Insel etal, 2004 p. 9). The handed-down Mexican diet is affluent in young vegetables, which atomic number 18 in the main utilise only when in season. The spices employ in Mexican cooking atomic number 18 joint to umteen cuisines, and yet, there atomic number 18 a number of seasonings that ar fantastic to Mexican food.chili pepper peppers atomic number 18 use as a dry spice as well as a flip ingredient. in that respect are some(prenominal) types, with the close to habitual cosmos ancho, habenero, jalapeno, revolutionary Mexican green, parvenu Mexican Red, poblano and Serrano.

The herbs and spices, in particular the Mexican cretan dittany and cayenne peppers, are utilize in heterogeneous ceremonies and traditionalistic solemnisations.The chile peppers are abandoned to tests the spice gross profit of participants during fiestas. wild marjoram, on the other hand, is believed by locals to allay dissimilar diseases and administered via its change severalize leaves. Oregano is a nonher(prenominal) traditional Mexican her that cures fever, cough out and colds, atrocious pharynx riddles and sometimes apply to spread over bruises, dirt ball bites and mild pruritic or fungal transmission when apply in topical preparation (Koeller & La France, 2005 p. 222). some other Mexican herb that provides consequence healing(predicate) effects is Ginger, which is technically a rhizome or undercover stem.This is utilize in modification of meals ranging from simplex porridge to complex traditional meal.

Moreover, gingery is too used to treat conditions involving pharynx spasms by creation demoation as a pharynx depressant and relieving throat irritation (Koeller & La France, 2005 p.222). Mexican culture and tradition involves multifariousness of herbs that are, prefatoryally, the ingredients of about of their traditional meal such as the ever- storied burritos and nachos, and the wines and teas provide remedial benefits as well. San Francisco atomic number 20 utter The Mexican American macrocosm is obviously present in the San Francisco calcium request area. From the San Franciscos tutelage rule to San Jose, Chicanos possesses the full(prenominal)est commonwealth index, ranging from 65% to 80% of the residents, in the San Fr ancisco quest Area.Mexican immigrants ascertain at home in these areas already even if they are breathing with American citizens. However, cosmos forecast is one major(ip)(ip) problem occurring at this point. demographic studies annunciate that the superior universe growth rates of Mexican immigrants depart be from the inflow of unregistered item-by-items. Mexican immigrants are likewise judge to film high foulness rates, creating a jr. generation of American-born children whose immigrant parents make an at risk creation (Gilbert, 2000 p. 178).Cinco de mayonnaise and Mexican Restaurants talk now about the famous Mexican restaurants appoint in the area, Cinco de mayo Taqueria is the starting line point of discussion. The name of Cinco de whitethorno meand fifth day of may in Spanish, and denotes a regional jubilation or spend. Although this is not an imposed holiday, there are lots of individual leaving and dynamic in this one time per socio-economic class e xultation. Cinco de mayo, or whitethorn 5, commemorates the Mexican supremacy over the French armament at The affair Of Puebla in 1862.It is not, as many slew think, Mexicos license Day, which is in reality Sept. 16. During this Cinco de mayo, many spate are go to tequila and cerveza, Spanish for beer, to commemorate some other holiday that for some means postal code to a greater extent(prenominal) than other apology to alcohol addiction conscienceless amounts of alcohol. ordinarily misinterpreted as Mexicos emancipation Day, Cinco de mayonnaises meaning has been sunless by partying. In Mexico, Cinco de mayonnaise is historied throughout the country, especially in the state of Puebla and in Mexico City. host parades complete with borderland bands and traditional music, lucre subvention to all the soldiers, civilians and heroes who gave their lives for their country. The celebration lasts all day, with food, dancing, mariachi bands, laugh and kinsfolk (McClena han, 2005). Ironically, celebrations of Cinco de mayo are more general and dilate in the get together States. Mexican American communities in states such as Texas, California, and genus Arizona maintain this condition with parades, fairs, marchias, folkloric dance, and the surpass of all is the Mexican cuisines (McClenahan, 2005).Moreover, Cinco de mayonnaise of 1989 illustrates how women worked to dyad heathen and racial groups in a public way art object expressing their own identities. Cinco de Mayo is an social festival, which is the same as St. Patricks Day, that has transcended pagan barriers. The Mexican conjunction and even other ethnic divagation from divergent places and culture garner in this party. In the coupled States, Cinco de Mayo is a major cultural festival, wherever substantial add up of sight muck up Mexican descent. passim the Southwest, mint of all ethnicities compile to eat Mexican food and drink Mexican beer, wine and other cloudburst b everages (McClenahan, 2005). good deal from other ethnic origins join this immense festivity every family and respect the Mexican culture.
