Hi, need to submit a 500 words paper on the topic Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses. Louis Althusser. In the article, ‘Ideology and Ideological Apparatuses’, Louis Althusser, an eminent philosopher has expounded on the wider meaning of ideas and ideologies that are subscribed by human race. He asserts that ideas are imaginary representations which men try to enact physically. He asserts that theory of ideologies depend on the social formations which are linked to production and creation of social class. Thus, ideologies have history but ideology in general has no history because is it abstract and is defined in the form of consciousness which is constant and remains same for all time. This is the main thesis of the article and author has explained it through social class and their history.

The article explains that ideologies are predetermined by the existence of platforms or apparatus that define their statutes or modes. Thus, one hears of religious ideology, political ideology, legal ideology etc. Althusser has defined these as social apparatus which are used to propagate different ideologies. In German Ideology, Marx had primarily defined ideology as pure illusion which people tried to fit with the physical reality. It is a ‘pure dream, empty and vain, constituted by the ‘day’s residues’ from the only full and positive reality’ (p240). Author questions the ‘need’ to fit the reality with the illusion of ideology. He says Marx’s ideology has different problematics mainly because it functions at various levels and is open to widespread interpretations.

Another very pertinent point made in the article is the need for subjects who bring into actions the modalities of ideologies that are practiced. Indeed, existence of ideologies it realized by the presence of subjects (man). Thus, ideologies have structures and functions which are carried by subjects. Althusser better explains it when he divides his main thesis in two parts saying that ideology: is representation of imaginary relationship of individuals to their real conditions of existence. has a material existence. These are important postulates that illusionary representations constitute ideologies which men try to relate in their real life. Prime examples are the religious scriptures which promote ideologies in the name of God and make men follow them in their real life. Most importantly, ideologies have material existence is proved when Althusser asserts that ‘ideologies always exist in an apparatus (religious, ethical, legal, political etc.) and its practice or practices’ (242).

The practice of ideologies under different apparatus may have different modalities that mainly depend on their ‘imaginary relation to their condition of existence’ (242). Interestingly, ideological representation infers that subject that practice them have their own consciousness. The subjects have the ‘ideas’ that their consciousness motivates them to act on their ‘ideas’, thereby giving him the ‘free will’ to act. In short, the illusion of ideas is internal but the action based on ideology is external that not only requires a apparatus but also a subject 9man) who can act on those ideologies. Hence, ideologies have structure and functions which are used by subjects in their real life in relationship to their existing conditions. The subjects are also divided as ‘free subjectivity, author of and responsible for its actions. and subjected being, who submit to higher authority’ (248).

Thus, ideologies, as stated by author, can only be explained through social class within a social structure or society. It not only demarcates social class but also recognizes correlation between subject and subject, subject and production that promote ISAs and their defined functions in social structure.

Need an research paper on fast food and sustainable development: mcdonalds case study. Needs to be 9 pages. Please no plagiarism. Sustainable development is defined as development “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs” (WCED, 1987). Hence, development should predominantly consider the following dimensions, as applied in a business or food chain establishment (Zamora, et. al, 2002):

a) Economic viability – the business establishment should meet the needs of its customers and employees while being able to make profit at the same time.

b) Ecological soundness – aside from catering to the needs of the customers, it should also consider if any crucial aspect of the business, especially in production, would severely damage the environment.

c) Social just and humane – any business endeavour should respect the dignity and rights, not only of its consumers and end-users but as well as rights of its employees. Social responsibility must be implemented.

d) Culturally appropriate – products and services being provided should be in accordance with the taste, needs and beliefs of its consumers. Furthermore, business establishments should respect the location- and context-specific cultures of their diverse end-clients.

e) Grounded on holistic science – firms and employees alike should scientifically and cautiously consider the interrelationships and interaction of all the aforementioned aspects.

In the long run, multi-national companies, firms and the like would not only benefit in this endeavour. Consumers, and the community to which it belongs, should equally benefit from the former.

Need help with my writing homework on Choose one element that you notice in (Agamemnon, Hamlet, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock). Explain the similarities and differences as you compare the development in each work of your chosen element. Write a 500 word paper answering; Agamemnon, Hamlet, ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock Agamemnon, Hamlet and ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock areliteral works that are world renowned for their masterly of literal stylistic devices that give the authors’ message substance and meaning. The themes contained in these works of art range from love, hatred and revenge among other subthemes which battle for supremacy in the readers’ mind and conscience. A careful analysis of these works demonstrates some notable similarities in their development and atrocities experienced by the protagonists in the plot. There are also some differences that are accrued from further analysis of these works chief among them the authors’ clarity of ideas and intended themes. To adequately enjoy and gain insights into these works, the reader should endeavor to discern all the notable similarities and differences in these pieces of literature.

Hamlet is a story line made famous by William Shakespeare who wrote the plot of the story to be depicted as a play, which makes it a world acclaimed piece of literature and theatrical prose. Hamlet is bent on avenging his father’s death, and this exposes the reader to other aspects of the protagonist’s character that can be construed to be part of the author’s intention and insight to the reader. Hamlet’s vengeance exposes his insecurity leading him to commit incestuous acts with his kin in an effort to secure his dominance and authority. This is an aspect that is present in the ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock’ in the sense that his insecurities lead him to reveal his inner-self unconsciously. The difference between the two is that in Hamlet, Prince Hamlet quest is fulfilled with the murder of his Uncle the focus of his revenge and hatred. Unlike Hamlet, J. Alfred Prufock’s insecurities and inadequacies haunt him for the rest of the poem, and the reader is left wondering or yearning to know the outcome or the true end of the story. Agamemnon as a play also presents a dilemma, which is also present in all the literal works under discussion (Aeschylu, Raeburn and Thomas 118).

Hamlet is in a dilemma on how he is going to redeem himself in the eyes of his people as their king in the presence of his overbearing uncle. He is also unsure of his mother’s involvement in the murder of his father due to her speedy remarriage to his uncle whom he suspects as his father’s killer (Crowl 169). Agamemnon is in a dilemma as to the future of his position upon his return from the Trojan War, an aspects he battles with till his ultimate death or murder. The inconclusiveness of Agamemnon’s fate is reflected in J. Alfred Prusock’s fate in the poem (Ackerley 67). This is in the sense that there are no viable solutions for both of their dilemmas because the plot ends prematurely or it was the author’s intention to seek the reader’s advanced engagement. Hamlet is different from Agamemnon even if they share themes such as moral corruption revenge, mortality and appearance and reality. This is illustrated by suffering and human fragility as it is not seen as one of Hamlets primary concerns despite his stature as his people’s king.

These literal works are classic examples of how timelines can be brought together by man’s human nature. This works to represent different dimensions and situation through which human interaction can be achieved, and at the same time appreciate their diversity.

Provide a 2 pages analysis while answering the following question: Air legislation. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Abdullah Alshafi 4 May Effect of Centre Of Gravity On The Aircraft: Take-off , Landing And Cruise

Center of gravity (cg) is a point inside or outside a body through which the whole weight of the body appears to be acting. For an aircraft, the center of gravity position depends on, and is controlled by balancing the overall size and mass distribution characteristics including the effect produced as a result of the consumption of fuel. Center of gravity calculations are of critical importance during aircraft design.

Figure 1. Weight distribution due to different components of an aircraft.

For stability of the aircraft during take- off, landing and cruise , the center of gravity of the aircraft must fall within the limits and range specified for a particular type and make of an aircraft as established by the manufacturer.

The aircraft is capable of rotation along the three axes namely. Pitch ,Roll and Yaw, in addition to a linear motion along the specific air route when in- flight. For any type of movement shown by the aircraft ,the weight of the aircraft must be balanced out to maintain the position of the center of gravity for stability.

An air craft can have Lateral center of gravity, Longitudinal center of gravity and even Vertical center of gravity. The most important if these being the Lateral cg, which has a critical role in stabilizing the pitch of the aircraft. Lateral cg is further partitioned into Forward and Aft cg. There are limits to the Fore and Aft cg positioning. If the Fore and Aft cg is out of range the aircraft may pitch uncontrollably up or down during take-off ,flight or landing. For example if the cg is too far forward , the plane is likely to tilt forward or crash

upon take-off.

Figure 1. Effect of shift in Longitudinal cg on the pitch of an aircraft.

The Lateral cg position is to be maintained in order to control and stabilize any unwanted roll movement during any stage of flight. The position of Lateral cg can shift if there is an uneven distribution of fuel in the tanks,or in case of an uneven seating arrangement of passengers in a small aircraft.

Figure 3 Effect of shift in Lateral cg on the Roll of an aircraft during flight.

The Vertical cg position is associated with the stability of the flight along the yaw axis. A shift in the vertical cg can result in yawing motion if not compensated for by the pilot during take-off, flight and landing.

The vertical cg position may be shifted even due to cross winds. This results in a sidewise motion of the aircraft during flight.

Figure 4.Effect of change in Vertical cg on the yaw of an aircraft.

The change in the Vertical cg of the aircraft can disturb the course during flight.During landing the aircraft can experience problems due to the sidewise movement and may miss the landing.

The center of gravity is a major factor in the stability of an aircraft in all the phases of flight . take-off ,cruise / flight and landing. A disturbance in the longitudinal, lateral or vertical cg can upset the movement of the aircraft along either of the three axes .pitch , roll or yaw.

Choose Public-College Presidents in the Sunshine, but Know When to Draw the Shades

Last week a new president was chosen for the University of Tennessee after much deliberation. The controversy revolved around the final interviews being made available on the Internet. Some people view this open process as unnecessary and in fact harmful to the reputation of the university. The authors of this article investigated numerous states’ sunshine laws, where information must be made public in state-sponsored institutions. What was discovered was that there is much confusion around how these laws should be applied and in what circumstances. The recommendation given was that common ground should be found that permits some information to be made public yet allows privacy on certain occasions. Also, the timing of the release of sensitive information should be done in a slow manner. Thirdly, there must be some closed-door meetings that do not require information to be disseminated. Trustees should be informed of important decisions before the information is made available to the public. Sunshine will continue to thrive, but the way in which they are used must be looked at.
