Sex & Society: The Problem With Honor In Boccaccio’s Decameron, there are many themes that exist within his tales, one of these being a theme of Honor. A couple of tales that represent many routes of Honor are the tale of Tancredi and Ghismonda along with the tale of Ricciardo and Caterina. Even though Honor, especially in the Decameron, is an ideal set in place that structures morality, it should be used as a tool of decision instead of a “black and white” standard of life. It is found that each

Should the Postal Rule be Abolished? Contract law is a form of the law which focuses on agreements made between two or more parties. Contracts can be made in an informal manner and can also be made formally. Most people would recognise a contract to be a formal written document which states the conditions, warranties and description of an offer being made. However, that is not always the case. Contracts are made in countless different ways, and each have their own rules which also apply in various

Our eyesight and capability to tell colors apart is caused by three cones in the retina of an eye. The three cones are red, green, and blue, and if any of the cones has a deficiency then that is what causes color blindness. From the "Color Blindness" article it says, "There are three basic variants of color blindness. Red/green color blindness is the most common deficiency

HAL and the monoliths are indeed the film’s most interesting and enigmatic figures; in fact, numerous critics such as Robert Kolker, Michael Mateas, and Christopher Rowe have pointed out the fact that HAL has “more feelings than any of the human characters inhabiting the film” (Kolker, Introduction 9; Mateas 106; Rowe 44). Thus, these cyborgs are compelling

David Bowman, Dr. Frank Poole, Dr. Heywood R. Floyd, and HAL 9000. Dr. Bowman and Poole are both scientist and astronauts onboard the Discovery One which is set for Jupiter so that they can research an unknown radio signal they received from there. Dr. Heywood is the chairman of the NCA (National Council of Astronautics). He was there when they first encountered the monolith on the moon and he is the leader of the Discovery One mission. HAL 9000 was the AI in charge of flying the Discovery One, it

Discovery One, along with Hal 9000, a robot who maintains the ship and pilots the ship. The rest of the crew are in artificially induced hibernations. On the way to Saturn, Poole and Dave are told by Hal that the AE-35 unit which communicates with earth has malfunctioned. Poole goes out to fix the unit but a space pod comes ramming into him, killing him instantly. Dave, shocked that Poole had just died orders Hal to release the other astronauts out of their hibernation for backup. Hal refuses to do so but

Another person’s notes on Shallow Hal After seeing ads for "Shallow Hal," several friends complained to me about what they saw as an offensive concept: If Hal (Jack Black) has been brainwashed to see only a woman's inner beauty, then why does that inner beauty have to look just like Gwyneth Paltrow? Paltrow plays Rosemary, an obese woman in everyone's eyes but the spellbound Hal's; he sees the slender blond Paltrow that we're so used to seeing in movies and on magazine covers. The answer to my

spectacularly, other times in deep and humbling decisions. Transcending space time, self-awareness of a machine, and willing self-isolation are all transformations observed in this text. I will examine Bowman’s descent into the Japetus monolith, HAL and the hibernation pods, and Bowman as he descends into isolation. The first fundamental transformation in 2001 is when David Bowman passes through the Star Gate on Japetus. When he exclaims "The thing's hollow - it goes on forever - and - oh my

Despite a good first impression, looks can be deceiving. In “2001: A Space Odyssey” by the author Arthur C. Clarke, a mysterious Ai named Hal presents himself as a very intelligent computer who is extremely willing to help the crew with everything they request. Although appearing to be extraordinarily essential to the crews mission original mission, Hal has his own plans for the crew and ship. Instead of revealing the true mission to the crew he decides to keep it a secret. Part of his plan requires

DC Comics Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) is the wielder of the universe's most powerful weapon. The catch is–the one who wields the ring must have conquered his fears, and Hal fears most everything. Hal Jordan, born in Coast City, was a child to Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan, and the middle child of three with older brother Jack and a younger brother Jim. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircraft. While his father was working, Hal witnessed his father die

Although Melissa claims that she did not see the stop sign, it is possible to describe the path of visual sensation involved in seeing the stop sign. We must first begin by tracing the path of light through the eye. Light rays enter the eye through the cornea. The cornea “bends light waves so that the image can be focused on the retina” (Baird 73). The next part of the eye is the iris, which controls the pupil’s size. The pupil changes size depending on the amount of light in the environment based

Intraspecific evolution is the evolution that is continually occurring within a species. When a species undergoes this type of evolution they are subject to many evolutionary pressures such as mutation, migration and selection. How the species reacts to these pressures effects their genetic variation, gene flow, chances of survival and all together their growth as a species. Whales are a group of species that have undergone many evolutionary pressures and many species have experienced bottlenecks

The University of Houston’s College of Optometry is leading the charge in the fight against myopia, with several studies aimed at discovering how to fully stop the progression of the condition in children — a problem that can lead to permanent blindness. Myopia exists when the eye grows too long on its axial length, Smith said, so light from a faraway object focuses in front of the retina, rather than on it. This causes objects at large distances to look blurry. The myopia epidemic is likely caused

I have chosen the eukaryotic cell, the cone cell located in the retina of the eye because the eye is very complicated and interests me because my eyes are not perfect, also my father is affected by colour blindness which is a problem directly linked to the cone cell in the retina. In the average human eye there are around six to seven million cone cells in total. The cone cell is made up of two parts, the outer segment and the inner segment. The outer segment holds the membranous discs which pigment

Disneyland, Family, and my Fearful Self I was half walking, half skipping through the crowded Disneyland paths with the company of my family that day. The clouds covered a few sections of the light blue sky, and the wind gently blew in the tourists’ faces turning them a pinkish, even reddish color. A decently hot, almost humid breeze from the sun and the wind spread through the city of Paris, France that afternoon in May of 2010. Me, my mother, father, brothers Stefano and Matteo, and sister Francesca

Disney Cruise 3 months ago I can’t believe we won the lottery and won 1 million dollars. My parents told us that we were going to go on a trip but we don’t think that we are actually going to go on a trip anywhere. It was still super exciting to win the lottery and all of that money. At dinner we our parents tell us we are going on a trip. We ask where but they say it is going to be a surprise. Later me and my sister try to guess where we are going to go. We guess a lot of different places but are

During the two 30 min periods that I observed at Swett-Winters, I saw the children engaging in different social studies practices. The type of activity’s that they did for economics are selling play-do ice-cream cones, they “produced” more ice cream. One child pretended to be a cashier with this adorable little plastic cash register. It had fake money in it. After someone handed him money he would push buttons and pretend to fill a paper bag with their groceries. The objects that they used were,
