Essay English A Friend or Foe - 666 Words

Today English is the language of international law, international politics, business and diplomacy. Day by day more minor languages disappear, and English becomes more commonly used and global. Scholars argue about how globalization of English and bilingualism around the world would affect other languages and cultures. Most of my friends think that bilingualism and globalization of English will improve the lives of people around the world; however, the situation will only encourage competition and will lead to a survival of the fittest situation.

People will not reject it since it is already in their lives. The globalization of English will continue, maybe at the same speed or maybe in an accelerating movement. Moreover, English is enhancing international communication in terms of channel usage. Globalization and the age of communication made it possible to reach farthest parts of the world. Internet, mobile phones and other means of mobile communication allow people to reach information whenever they want. However, one must know English to utilize these means of communications because English is the language of technology. 90 percent of the Internet is in English so if you do not know English you are missing 90 percent of the information. Moreover, most of the computer programs are developed for English speakers. An update for other languages takes long to be released. So if you do not know English, maybe you will fail to use a widely accepted computer program. Furthermore, means of mobile communication involves English, too. As a result, English had become the both the language of technology and communication, and made it possible for people from all around the world use channels of commu nication such as the Internet. English seems to be a friend of intercultural communication; however, it is a threat to non-English cultures.

Issues in Tourism Donoghue v Folkestone Properties Ltd

Question: Discuss about theIssues in Tourismfor Donoghue v Folkestone Properties Ltd. Answer: Introduction The issue of occupiers liability is one of the major concerns in tourism industry. According to the principle it is the duty of the person providing accommodation to the tourists to ensure their safety (Mosbah Saleh, 2014). Any negligence or ham caused to the tourist with respect to the place they have occupied can make the owner of that place liable for such negligence and harm. The report discusses the legal principles as provided in the case of Donoghue v Folkestone Properties Ltd[2003] EWCA Civ 231. This is a classic case where the court has identified when a person can be held responsible with respect to his property. Tourism in Malaysia is on the rise and cases in relation to occupiers liability will have a significant impact of the tourism industry (Movafegh Movafegh, 2013). The report discusses this English case as English common law is used in Malaysia as legal resolutions. Facts The plaintiff in this case was Mr. Donoghue who became tetraplegic after he broke his neck. The plaintiff was tourist and also an occupier of the defendants property. He decided to go for a swim in the middle of the night. He used the slipway to dive into the sea and in the process he hit his head on an invisible underwater obstruction making him break his neck. The plaintiff has made a claim against the defendant under the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 for the damage caused to him. The trial court in this case upheld the claim made by the plaintiff. The court in this case ruled that the defendant owned a duty of care towards the plaintiff as the plaintiff was the occupier of their property. The court in this case also applied the provisions of contributory negligence and only awarded the plaintiff with 25% of the total claim made by them. This was done by the court on the basis of its findings which proved that the plaintiff had made 75% of the contribution towards the harm caused to him. The defendant in this case was not satisfied with the judgment provided by the trial court and did not admit the ruling provided by the court that they owed a duty of care with respect to the plaintiff. The defendant in this case filed an appeal to the appellate court claiming that they did not have a duty of care towards the plaintiff. The defendants claimed that although they have a duty of care towards the person using the slip way to dive in the morning during summers it would not have been reasonable for them to assume that the person would dive into the sea using the slipway in the winters at midnight. Relevant Law The law which is involved in this case is Section 1 of the Occupiers liability Act 1984. The purpose of the act is to provide remedy to the occupiers who have been subjected to harm due to the negligence of the property owner (Sudbury Wilson, 2015). In order to access that there was a negligent act or not the court first analyzes the existence of a duty of care (Weissenberger McFarland, 2016). In case of occupiers liability the duty of care is determined by the court on the basis of the circumstances and condition along with the facts related to the plaintiff at the place where the harm was caused (Mulheron, 2016). Judgment The appellate court in this case considered the description with respect to the harbor in details in order to determine the duty of care. According to the Occupiers liability act the duty of care of a person is determined according to the circumstances in which the the accident had taken place (McAllister, 2015). The trial court in this aspect provided that as there were a number of cases which occurred during the summer with respect to diving. The defendant had employed security guards during the summer to prevent people from using the slip way to dive. However the defendant failed to put a clear notice at the site preventing then divers from diving. In this case the problem was that the plaintiff had jumped in the middle of the night during winter and the defendant had no idea and argued that they reasonable could not have an idea that a person would do such an act in the winter. The trial court in this case used Section 1(3) of the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 according to which a duty of care was adjudged according to the circumstances in which the accident took place (McAllister, 2015). The court ruled that as the defendants were aware of the fact that people indulge in diving at the spot they should have taken reasonable steps with respect to preventing them from doing so. The plaintiff in this case was a professional diver therefore the court held that he should have taken precaution and considered the tide while diving. Thus the court reduced the damages to be paid to him by 75% (Smith, 2014). The appellate court in this respect provided a decision against that of the trial court. The court in this case ruled held the appeal made by the appellants and ruled that a duty of care did not exist between them and the respondents. With respect to the slipway the appellate court ruled that there was negligence on the part if the appellant as they did not put any warning sign on the site with respect to diving. They had the idea that the harbor was such which might cause injury to any person who dives from there during low tide. With respect to the respondent the court agreed to the findings of the lower court that as he was a professional he should have reasonably considered the tide before deciding to make a dive. The respondent was himself negligent while making a dive without considering the dangers associated with it even after having significant knowledge in that field. The court thus did not challenge any finding by with respect to the facts done by the lower court. However the court changed the way in which the relevant laws had been applied to the existing facts. It was provided by the court that in order to accurately come to a decision in this case the provisions of section 1(3) of the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 have to be approached in a different way. According to the section in order to establish a duty of care owed by the defendant to the other person the characteristics and attributes of the other person in the circumstances where the injury was caused has to be considered. Thus the court considered that whether the respondent was subjected to danger or not due to the actions or omissions of the appellant based on the time of the day and the season of the year in which the accident took place. The court thus provided the decision in favor of the appellant stating that he did not owe a duty of care towards the respondent in this case. Relevance in Malaysian Tourism The tourism industry in Malaysia is growing at a rapid pace. The growth is inviting several legal issues which are being faced by the tourist as well as the locals. Malaysian law is primarily based on common law and English legal principles (Cheah Rahim, 2014). The most recent issues which the country have been subjected to are one that of a British tourist stripping on the mountain top. There issues in relation to tourist have to be solved as quickly as possible as they are not the residents of the country. There are several cases pending in the Malaysian trial courts in relation to issues with respect to tourism (Ooi, Hooy Som, 2013). It is a fact that when tourist comes to visit Malaysia they have to occupy the premises belonging to a local for the period of their stay. The laws in their country may be different from that of Malaysia and they might end up doing something which is unlawful. They might also end up injuring themselves as they would not be accustomed to the premises they are temporarily residing in. This may make the locals liable for the injury caused to tourist and they would have to pay the damages caused to them (Musa Thirumoorthi, 2016). Thus in this case the locals should be aware if their rights and responsibility towards their premises used by the tourist. They should ensure that they take reasonable step to prevent any kind of premises which may take place within their premises or by its use. The tourist on the other hand should also know that when a property owner cannot be held liable for the damages caused to them like it was in this case (Hassan, 2014). If the defendant had put a sign near the slipway warning the individuals about the risks involved in diving at that place the accident would not have taken place. On the other hand the tourist should have considered the tide while diving which he did not as a result he was not awarded the claim (Malaysia, 2012). References Cheah, C. F., Abdul-Rahim, A. S.

How a Writing Service Can Help with the Dissertation Writing

How a Writing Service Can Help with the Dissertation Writing Dissertations. They are huge projects and students who must produce them have never completed this kind of academic project before. If you are in this situation, there is a lot of hep available through the right dissertation writing services help. The key here, of course, is the term right. You have to find the right service to help you a professional one that has a Ph.D. in your research field who can act as a consultant, advisor, researcher, and even writer. You may not know exactly what kind of help you will need as you go through the process, but having that personal helper will be critical. What a Dissertation Help Se rvice Can and Cannot Do First, lets be clear. A professional dissertation writing service will not claim to be able to conduct your original research study for you. Any company that claims it can produce the entire piece, and produce it in short order, is fraudulent. You and your advisor have agreed upon a research question and a study that you will conduct. That study will be completed locally, by you. You have to implement it and gather the data. Remote dissertation help services cannot do this for you. So, instead, lets look at what a professional dissertation writing service CAN do for you. Your Proposal Proposals are hard to put together, and approval is often not given the first time. If you have a Ph.D. consultant in your research field, however, you have someone who can craft a proposal that will be approved. Why? Because s/he has written many of these before and has the expertise. So, you can submit your research question and your department guidelines and even your rough draft of a proposal and get a polished piece that will pass muster. That Literature Review This is the least exciting part of the project, and you will run into a lot of dead ends. As you pour through prior research. A writing service consultant, however, is totally familiar with the existing literature, can access the most current relevant, and craft a literature review that will be scholarly and amazing. Your Research Design and Instruments This is an area of dissertation writing services help that can prove to be invaluable. Designing an original research project and choosing or creating the right instruments for that study can be challenging, at best. At worst, they can be the cause of stress and frustration. A PH.D. consultant from your field can help create that research design and suggest existing/validated instruments or help you craft original ones that will get you the data you need and eliminate those nuisance factors. Presentation of Your Data One chapter of your dissertation will be devoted to your methodology, and it will describe how you collected your data, as well as present that data itself. This will require graphical presentations as well as prose explanations. Your consultant will know how best to present that data, so that a reader can fully understand it. The Data Analysis Here is the most important chapter of your dissertation. The data will have to be statistically analyzed, in order to show the significance of your study. While technology has really simplified this process, there is the issue of choosing the right formulae and entering that data correctly. If you are not a mathematician, this can be a challenging task, and no mistakes can be made. Here is where your consultant can be of huge help. S/he can crunch that data correctly and product the charts, graphs, and prose analysis that you need. The Conclusion This is a hard chapter to write. You have to answer your research question, and you have to explain the significance of your study to your field of knowledge. You also have to identify and constraints, nuisance factors, and gaps, as you make recommendations to future researchers. This chapter requires a high level of organization. If you are struggling with it, your consultant can help. Producing that dissertation can be at least a year-long process, if not more. And it is the rare Ph.D. candidate that does not seek some outside help. If you have a consultant on call to provide the help you need when you need it, you are going to find the entire process much less stressful. And, you will end up with a dissertation that your committee will love.

Deconstruction of the 1998 movie ''ARMAGEDON'' by Michael Bay Essay

Deconstruction of the 1998 movie ''ARMAGEDON'' by Michael Bay - Essay Example The film ''Armagedon'' perhaps has a primary means of advancing the narrative is through spectacular visual elements. In the first two scenes there are two corresponding explosions – a meteor striking the Earth and extinguishing the dinosaurs and an unidentified source destroying the space shuttle. It is not long before a third explosion occurs as a meteor slams into a man selling inflatable Godzillas; one considers the irony in a meteor destroying replica dinosaurs. It is clear that one of the predominant means of narrative advancement is in the film’s implementation of these explosions. While they are worked seamlessly into the narrative, it seems that Bay implements them in large-part as a means of startling the viewer, just like a horror film might implement a murder. In other instances, the explosions seem to function simply as a means of allowing the viewer to revel in the Hollywood special effects. For instance, early in the film asteroids strike New York City in a highly fantastical manner, resulting in falling buildings, statues, and wide-scale havoc. Although such special effects are intrinsic to the plot, it is clear that in this scene the film dwells on the explosions simply for their fantastical nature. Another prominent structural device is the parallel narrative form. The film regularly cuts between scenes featuring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, and those centered in mission control. As the film begins the two narratives are entirely removed, leaving the viewer to question why blue-collar oilrig drillers would have anything to do with an asteroid. The film expertly interweaves the plot lines, however, as the Billy Bob Thornton character eventually states that they must bring in the world’s best deep core driller in order to stop the asteroid. The film largely remains tied to a parallel narrative structure throughout. It isn’t until a significant amount of scenes have passed before the first montage is implemented. This occurs as Harry and Grace begin to discuss the members of the team they will need to accompany them on their Earth saving mission; the film then cuts between various individuals in their place of residence or favored pastime. Another montage is implemented as the team is given psychological evaluations by the NASA scientists. To a degree, Bay’s way of dealing with this scene seems to be influenced by Steven Soderbergh’s approach in the Ocean’s Eleven and Twelve films; namely, funky sounding music is overplayed while rapid-pace editing jumps between different funny quips. Of course, the film’s primary montage occurs as the United States president announces to the nation the upcoming mission. During this time various scenes of world regions are featured looking on. The message is one of global unity and is highly poignant and inspiring. Still, it’s noted that this device was also used in a similar disaster film, Independence Day, as the United State s president called on the world to join in the fight against aliens. This fact further establishes the

Self Evaluation Essay Example for Free

Self Evaluation Essay I was quite confident about my writing style and had the impression that I am competent enough. But when more than one of my projects got remarks like ‘improve your writing skill’ and ‘work hard on your writing style’, I was shocked and was unable to look for my faults. I had to discuss with one of my teachers who explained that I was using parallelism in my writing style, which was quite boring and repetitive. Then I noticed that I was using some of the words quite a lot of time and they were even repeated quite a lot of times in one single sentence. When I read my story I found that lots of characters were created which either confused the reader or left them bewildered. I had to really work hard so that I make my essays or stories interesting for the reader. While analyzing my early essays I found that most of the time I got diverted from the main stream of discussion and wasted my pages on not so important issues. I now understand it was because I need to draw on outline of my essay before finally writing it. I should deal the objectives and organize them according to the preferences required hile writing it. Repetitive use of words or phrases spoils the charm of writing and fails to make story interesting. Even if the plot is good and organized, it needs to be appealing so that the reader finds it out of the ordinary. I had the idea that repetitive use of words and phrases add weight to your work but it is not in essays or stories. It gives the impression that the writer is using same words just because he is lacking original ideas for the story. This gives a bad impression and cuts your marks eventually. I was always against plagiarism and had the idea that it is just copying word by word of some other writer’s work. But even if you use some facts by changing few words with their synonyms is also categorized under plagiarism. It was quite difficult to understand this issue but I will have to work on it so that my essays are not remarked as ‘plagiarized’. I use sources from Internet or some times related books to research on any matter. I have written different essays on numerous subjects and all I was able to find on Internet. I researched and then collected the matter, read and organized them and wrote iving my opinion on the issue. I have been getting experienced in different types of essays dealing personal as well as public issues. I worked on various writing styles like MLA format, APA format, Chicago style and many more. Initially these were quite new for me but as I worked cautiously and followed the instructions it has become quite easy for me now. To mesmerize the reader it is important to maintain the charm of your topic and suspense of the story till its end. For a good writer it is important that the reader has lots of quarries hile reading the story so that he is not in a position to leave reading it until he ends it. It is an ongoing process and one needs to improve a lot to become a good writer. Lots of practice and a good guidance will help you improve your writing skills. When I was first pointed out with my mistakes I thought I would never be able to improve these things as they come in flow of my natural way of writing. But I was wrong because during the course I was not only able to get rid of my drawbacks but also improved and made my writing style interesting from the point of view of readers. Now this is the most important thing for a writer and he/she can get rewards only when his work gets appreciated by his/her readers. There are lots of things to be taken in to consideration when you research on writing skills and you will feel that you need to learn quite a lot of stuff on the art of writing. It is actually a vast area and there are things that are required to learn and some areas get developed with your experience too. I found that the areas, which used to involve me for hours while writing an essay is now engaging me for remarkably less time. These all happened because of correct learning procedure and practice also. As far as parallelism is considered it is not completely useless but you will find it very useful while writing employment documents. Here you need to put stress on some person or his qualities and it is effective only when you repeat words and phrases. So avoiding parallel style of writing entirely is not right. There are times when you need to echo some facts and there you will need this style along with balance and rhythm so that you are able to convey your actual meaning and intention.
