Shmuel was the same way; he realized that some people were discomfited by his views and regarded him as eccentric. Yet, he persisted. For truth's sake, he had to. And Jacob too had to live his own life. I liked the fact that these lives were earnest and full and was discomfited by their glib comparison to lives that although more' successful' in American standards are so much emptier in comparison. I wondered why their kids did not follow their examples.
Chapter 7
What I particularly liked about this chapter was the vividness of the way that Meyerhoff described the nursing home and the people therein. Her images stick with you and they remind one of so many others that we know in our lives. What I particularly liked too was the fact that infrequent visiting of nursing homes has made me impatient with the amount of conformity that seemed to me to present there amongst its residents. Yet, what I noticed by Meyerhoff was the fact that she gave each individual his or her specific personality -- made them stick out -- so that you saw them as people and I like that.

Experience suggests that there are certain factors which can increase
Reply to Dameon and SherellDameonControlling for other factors in research is crucial to establish a clear and direct relationship between the independent and dependent variables. If extraneous variables aren\\\'t controlled, they may influence the dependent variable, resulting in an overestimate or underestimate of the effect of the independent variable. This could lead to false conclusions and potentially skewed policies or interventions based on those conclusions.Small or unrepresentative samples, on the

Project manager scenario: How to 'fix' the project It has come to our attention that a number of our employees have resigned from a recent project and have created their own company with the funding of a competitor. The first consideration we must discuss is a legal one, namely that company secrets might be used in their new effort. "A non-disclosure agreement is a written legal contract between an employer and

A significant percentage of the private sector is comprised of family business.

Elisa Allen is the protagonist of John Steinbeck's short story “The Chrysanthemums,” and Louise Mallard is the protagonist of Kate Chopin's “The Story of An Hour.” Both Elisa and Louise are products of their social and historical contexts, particularly when it comes to gender norms. Elisa and Louise are passive protagonists, because patriarchy has stripped them of political agency. By creating passive protagonists in their respective short stories, Steinbeck and
