But looking at the requirements from a deontological reasoning point-of-view, I don't think the requirements reflect a fair and true assessment of the working and living conditions that each employee has to deal with daily here in Iraq. This is a dangerous place, and being physically competent is vital because when a person puts in 12-hour shifts 7 days a week -- that adds up to an 84-hour work week -- it is very tough. Being apart from one's family and friends for up to six months at a time takes a toll on a person's physical and emotional condition. The culture shock is huge, especially when a mortar or rocket attack hits the base near where you are working. Dealing with this culture shock brings a lot of stress, and the natural instinct is to find things that help the person cope with the stressors. Some individuals start smoking, some work out to deal with the stress and others play video games or snack on unhealthy food....
Others engage in eating habits that result in weight game, which in turn results in high blood pressure. Many people working here on the government contract are forced to return to the States because the stress on their physical and emotional health has caused them to fail to meet the company's rigid physical requirements.
On some perfect late summer days, I take my bike off the back carrier of my car and ride on quiet blacktop county roads, enjoying the wonderful aroma of pine trees, and taking my time so I can fully experience the natural world, and take photos to remind me why I will return the next year. The narrative and descriptive elements of the paper In the first paragraph, I used all narrative
It was a beauteous sight to behold. Part B In writing the brief story passage, I tried to establish a theme of traveling from a place of uncertainty to a place of hope and beauty.

Narrative The Decision to Face My Fears For as long as I can recall, I've had a fear of heights. I could never be sure of exactly why this was true but any time I found myself looking out the window of a tall building, on a carnival ride or in an airplane, I would experience symptoms of panic and discomfort. My heart would race and my palms would sweat. As

We will discuss when and why the theory developed and how the theory of narrative paradigm has been researched. Then we will discuss the theory in detail including the views of rational world paradigm. In addition we will summarize what scholars believe to be true about the paradigm theory. We will also
Henry James Scheiber, Andrew J. Embedded Narratives of Science and Culture in James's 'Daisy Miller'. College Literature 21.2 (1994): 75-88. In this article, Andrew Scheiber explores the scientific concepts that lie in the social relationship of the story's characters. Scheiber, perhaps, found that a discussion of this would be appropriate to enable the reader of the novella understand the rationales behind the differences between the story's characters in terms of social relationship.

Mourning Becomes Electra It must have come as something of a shock for the original audience of Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra in 1931 to take their seats, open their programs, and discover that this extremely lengthy trilogy of plays does not actually contain a character named "Electra."
