Not all employees seek self actualization as their ultimate goal. Do you agree? support your answerself actualization as their ultimate gole

I agree completely with this statement.  I also agree with
the first answer -- I agree that many people will work only for the money and that there
is nothing wrong with that.

I want to add only that there
are many jobs in our society that must be done but that are unlikely to bring self
acutalization to the people who do them.  I have had at least three that I can think
of.

First, I prepared food at McDonalds.  Second, I shelved
books in libraries.  Third, I worked in a factory in which honey was extracted from the
frames where the bees deposited it.  None of these jobs involved anything that could be
self actualizing for very many people.

This means that
there have to be people who work only for money.  Otherwise our economies would
die.

What ar the activity and significance of these early figures (Moses,Judges,Kings,and Prophets)?early figures in the history of the Jewish people

Moses is the most important figure in the first five books
of the Hebrew Bible, often known as the Five Books of Moses.  He led the Hebrews out of
slavery in Egypt.  He received the Torah from God at Mount Sinai.  He led the people
through their forty years of wandering in the desert prior to entering the Promised
Land.

After the Hebrews entered Canaan (the Promised Land)
under the leadership of Joshua, Moses's disciple, in approximately 1200 B.C.E., the
Hebrews formed a loose confederation.  That is, there was no central government, but at
times of crisis, leaders arose to defend the people from enemies.  These leaders were
called Shoftim, which translates roughly as Judges.  Some of the
better-known Judges were Deborah, Gideon, Jepthah, Samson, and Samuel.  The Israelites
were ruled by the Judges for app. 1,000 years.

In app.
1,000 B.C.E., the Israelite tribes were united under the rulership of their first King,
Saul.  For app. the next 400 years, the Israelites were ruled by a succession of kings. 
They include: David, Solomon, Jehoshaphat, Ahaz, Hezekia,
Ahab.

Although there were prophets even in the days of the
Judges, the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible deal mostly with those prophets who
lived during the reigns of the Kings.  One of the main jobs of a prophet was to guide
the King in righteous behavior, and to rebuke him when he strayed.  The prophets also
guided and rebuked the people at-large and warned them that improper behavior could lead
to national destruction.  Some of the prophets are: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nathan, Obadiah,
Elijah, Jonah.

How does Peter get the bread which Elli forgets to bring upstairs?

Peter goes down to the main office and "crouches in front of the door to make himself as small as possible and crawls towards the steel lockers...so as not to be seen from outside, gets the bread".  After this he wants to disappear back into the annex, but Mouschi the cat has escaped and Peter cannot lure him back in.  After trying and failing to retrieve the cat, Peter gives up and returns to the annex with the bread but without the cat.

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, what does Hamlet mean by saying "O my prophetic soul!" in Act 1, Scene 5?

Hamlet is actually describing what is a common experience. We have all had moments of insight in which we realized that something we only felt or sensed was a glaring and sometimes menacing reality. We pick up clues intuitively, but it often takes time, or some new development, for the truth to break through into our consciousness. Here is how Henry James describes this truly very common experience in his excellent short novel Washington Square:

A sudden fear had come over her [Catherine Sloper]; it was like the solid conjunction of a dozen disembodied doubts, and her imagination, at a single bound, had traversed an enormous distance.

Hamlet had been sensing that there was something more to his father's death, his uncle's coronation, and the marriage of his uncle and his mother than had been thoroughly explained. There may have been many clues he picked up intuitively but hadn't pieced together into a picture until the Ghost gave him the one missing piece of the puzzle. For example, his uncle and mother were showing unusual concern about what he was thinking and feeling. Claudius was acting much differently than his uncle had acted in the past, and the new king was doing an unusual amount of drinking. The story about a serpent killing Hamlet's father was fishy enough in itself. Such a thing might happen in India or Borneo, but how often do poisonous snakes kill people in a cold climate like Denmark's? In fact, are there any poisonous snakes in Denmark at all? 

Hamlet is sincerely overwhelmed with grief at the death of his father. He is also disgusted with his mother. He has plenty of things to occupy his mind without focusing on his feelings, or suspicions, or vague intuitions, about Claudius. Hamlet might have picked up clues long before his father's death that would make him sense that his uncle might be sexually attracted to Gertrude and might have sinister ambitions. Our unconscious minds will often give us warnings in our dreams. It might be said that we all have "prophetic souls," but most of us often fail to heed them. This, in fact, was true of Hamlet. He was all wrapped up in his studies of languages, ancient history, and philosophy at Wittenberg and didn't pay attention to practical matters at home. Otherwise, he might have become king instead of his wicked and cunning uncle.

What does it mean to study English lit. in India ? Do you learn any skill at all in this course of study?How different it be to study lit. written...

Studying literature in the English language in India as
opposed to other languages is a significant concept, because India was colonized for
three centuries by the British. Inevitably, both cultures were affected by the other,
but one can argue that because the British were physically present in India, more
significant and far reaching changes took their root in Indian culture, changing it
intrinsically.

English is a colonial legacy, and
postcolonial Indian people now use it extensively. In the same way that other
postcolonial cultures (ie African) have used the colonizer's language to empower
themselves and celebrate their dual heritage identities, Indian people too can
understand the colonial history and how it affected their present cultural identity by
understanding English Literature.

Of course, it would be
limiting to say that only postcolonialism defines the Indian student's relationship with
English Literature. In an increasingly globalized world, all kinds of literatures are
more and more accessible, and a student who is exposed to so many fields of study may
very well be attracted to the multilayered and interesting centuries of English
Literature.

To understand what I mean by dual heritage, and
the conflicts as well as convergence that can characterize a postcolonial identity, you
can read the poem "Piano and Drums" by Gabriel Okara.

I need help with a background/lead for my thesis on "nature of man."Book: The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain Thesis: It is man's nature to...

Central to the theme of Mark Twain's social satire,
The Prince and the Pauper, is the boys' struggles--what the boys do
with their chances.  In the streets of London, Tom has dreamt of having royal power and
he is given his chance when the Prince of Wales offers to trade places with him so he
can have the chance to meet his subjects.

The famous
director, Elie Kazan, once stated that no one truly becomes anyone of worth without a
struggle, for it is in the struggle that one's character is formed.  Perhaps, then, the
writing of this paper could be directed at how the psychological, physical/social, and
spiritual struggles develop the two characters, who, of course, later prove to not be so
dissimilar as appearances first make them.

Let your thesis
contain three points that express an opinion about Twain's work.  Each topic sentence
will be formed from one of the three points in the thesis.  (In general, a topic
sentence expresses an opinion by the writer, as well as his/her attitude about this
general statement.)  See the site below on paragraph writing.

Horatio is represented as being a scholar. How does Shakespeare reveal this characteristic in Hamlet?

Hamlet is an allegorical hero.  He interacts with other
characters who reflect his possible options in taking
revenge:

1. Laertes reflects the limitations of
   instant revenge


2. Fortinbras reflects the limitations of
   political revenge


3. Ophelia reflects the limitations of
   madness


4. Horatio reflects the limitations of
   talk

From the very first scenes of the play,
Horatio establishes himself as a talker.  When he first hears of the Ghost, he
says:

Of that I shall have also
cause to
speak,
And
from his mouth whose
voice will draw on
more;

• Horatio
  doubts the supernatural:

Tush,
tush, (quiet, quiet) 'twill not
appear.

And

readability="0.36842105263158">

Well,
sit we
down,
And let us hear
Bernardo speak of
this.

• Marcellus
  says this about Horatio:

readability="0.4390243902439">

Thou art a
scholar;
speak to it,
Horatio.

And

Question
it,
Horatio.

• Horatio
  tells the Ghost:

readability="0.19354838709677">

by heaven I charge thee,
speak!

And

readability="0.34146341463415">

stay!
speak, speak! I
charge thee,
speak!

And

readability="0.20979020979021">

If thou hast any
sound, or use of
voice,
Speak
to me:
If there be any good thing to be
done,
That may to thee do ease and grace to
me,
Speak to
me:

Later,
after Marcellus says, "We do it wrong, being so majestical,
To offer it the show of violence;" Horatio knows that dialogue and
not violence is the only way to deal with the
world.

When Hamlet sees the Ghost, he follows it.
 Horatio warns against this.  Thus, Horatio is a passive scholar and a doubter.  He is a
man of books, a college student who only believes what he sees, and he can only engage
is discourse, not action.  He is no soldier (like the Ghost), no general (like
Fortinbras), and no passionate reactionary (like Laertes.  In this way, he only offers
Hamlet his advice in words.

Hamlet, thus, makes the mistake
throughout the play of engaging others in dialogue (Polonius, his mother).  Other times,
he doesn't engage in dialogue at all (silent interview with Ophelia).  Certainly, words
contribute to much of Hamlet's delay.
