A discussion of the symbolism of death in Edgar Allen Poe

Only   the   people   of   his   age   or   generation   oblique   in   opening   up   areas   of   human   experience   for   creative   handling   which   he   established.   The   reality   for   human   being   is   basically   very   deep   according   to   his   idea,   his   idea   also   states   that   human   being’s   reality   differs   to   outside   reality,   and   nature   is   intensely   unreasonable.As   the   telepathist   of   the   current   emotional   response,   symbolist   association   or   group   called   him   after   the   generation   gap   of   two.   Edgar   lost   his   mother   through   exploitation   and   father   through   neglecting   at   very   young   age   of   3   years;   he   has   only   older   brother   and   younger   sister.The   childr en   of   his   families   were   divided   up,   going   to   different   people   house   to   live.   Edgar   went   Virginia   that   is   home   of   Frances   Allan   and   John   which   gave   him   a   middle   name   Poe,   and   the   house   was   a   charitable   Richmond.The   connection   between   Poe’s   effort,   hard   work   and   his   terrifying   life   isn’t   tough.   Behind   a   show   of   sometimes   significant,   sometimes   reduced   â€Å"realism,†Ã‚   his   imaginary   work   looks   like   the   dreams   of   a   troubled   individual   who   keeps   coming   back,   night   after   night,   to   the   same   pattern   of   dream.At   that   period   he   traces   out   the   pattern   evenly,   at   other   times   in   a   â€Å"conside rate†Ã‚   humor,   but   normally   the   manner   is   terror.   He   finds   himself   downward,   into   a   basement,   a   wine   burial   chamber,   eddy,   always   falling.To   show   the   investigation   of   the   human   being,   an   example   was   given   to   his   opponent   by   Poe.   The   example   was   about   the   final   arrival   of   the   deep   privacy   of   his   internal   personality   for   himself   by   going   away   deep   into   himself   .According   to   the   investigation,   to   distinguish   much   of   20th-century   skill,   and   it   is   the   notable   success   of   Poe   as   an   performer   that   his   work   looks   ahead   with   such   amazing   accuracy   to   the   work   of   the   century   that   followed.  When   seei ng   the   building   at   first   sight,   his   courage   was   pervade,   seeing   the   unbearable   darkness,   he   was   not   knowing   how   it   happened   to   him.Before   him   he   looked   at   the   scene   of   the   walls   which   where   unwelcoming,   the   windows   which   were   vacant,   the   house   which   are   plain   or   measly,   and   the   straightforward   scenery   features   of   the   area,   he   also   looked   upon   a   small   number   of   grade   sedges,   the   trees   where   decomposed   and   had   white   trunks,   with   an   absolute   depression   of   soul   which   he   can   compare   to   no   possible   feeling   more   correctly   than   to   the   after,   in   everyday   life   there   is   sour   fall,   the   covering   was   too   dropping   and   ugly,   dream   of   the   reveller   upon   opium.Presently   there   was   coolness,   a   dipping;   an   illness   of   the   heart,   not   convert   dullness   of   thinking   which   not   make   of   the   imagination   might   suffer   into   aught   of   the   inspiring.   What   was   it   –   He   silenced   to   believe   –   what   was   it   that   so   scared   him   in   the   meditation   of   the   House   of   Usher?It   neither   was   an   inscrutability   every   one   unsolvable;   nor   can   He   struggle   by   way   of   the   obscure   imagine   that   packed   ahead   him   because   He   considered.He   was   required   to   drop   reverse   ahead   the   unacceptable   end,   that   at   the   same   time   as ,   further   than   uncertainty,   there   are   mixtures   of   extremely   straightforward   ordinary   substance   which   contain   the   control   of   therefore   touching   everyone,   unmoving   the   examination   of   this   authority   dishonesty   amongst   thoughts   away   from   the   deepness.  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Work   cited   page:www.bookrags.com.   March   26,   2008.   http://www.bookrags.com/biography/edgar-allan-poe/.www.classic-literature.co.uk.   March   26,   2008.   http://www.classic-literature.co.uk/american-authors/19th-century/edgar-allan-poe/the-fall-of-the-house-of-usher/www.classic-literature.co.uk.   March   26,   2008.   http:// www.classic-literature.co.uk/american-authors/19th-century/edgar-allan-poe/the-fall-of-the-house-of-usher/book-page-02.asp

Unit 332 – Engage in personal development in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings. OUTCOME 1 1. 1 My responsibilities and duties include †¢ Helping pupils individually and in groups †¢ Support literacy †¢ Support numeracy †¢ Support science †¢ Supervising art activities †¢ Listening pupils read †¢ Support PE lessons †¢ Support the use of ICT in learning activities †¢ Supervising role play activities †¢ Supporting other members of staff †¢ Feedback teacher Going on school trips †¢ Providing resources for lessons †¢ Providing clerical support 1. 2 Since National Occupational Standards were introduced, the role of the TA becomes professional. It specifies the standard of performance we need to achieve in place of work together with knowledge and understanding that we need to meet standards consistently. What it means is that we need to develop all the time in order to keep in p eace with ever changing demands of the education.Also gaining Level 3 qualification gives us great opportunity to progress to the foundation degree. Teaching assistants should have qualities like: to be good communicators, use initiative, be a good listener, respect confidentiality, have emotional intelligence, be consistent, have sense of humour, will undertake CPD. OUTCOME 2 1. Practitioners should reflect on their practice in order to achieve good results in professional development. Being reflective: †¢ Demonstrates that practitioners are actively concerned about the aims. Enables practitioners to monitor, evaluate and revise their own practice continuously †¢ Requires an ability to look carefully at practice in order to develop new skills and understanding †¢ Requires an open-minded attitude †¢ Enhances professional learning and personal fulfilment through collaboration and dialogue between practitioners What does reflection involves? †¢ Reflection â₠¬ in† action, or thinking on your feet †¢ Reflection â€Å"on† action, or after the event †¢ Our thoughts and ideas †¢ Our colleagues ideas The views and knowledge gained from our own experiences and that of theoretical literature It might be hard to reflect on practice if we have negative feelings like anger or anxiety, lack of confidence, questions if my behaviour is consistent with model behaviour. Unrealistic, high expectations – I am a perfectionist, reluctance to accept help and admittance to weakness. 2. I reflected on my practice by completing PDP and answering 11 questions (see attachment 1 and 2). The aim was to spot where my strengths and weaknesses lie.In what ways I have succeeded in classroom and in what ways can I improve? To ensure â€Å"best† practice. To see what training might be necessary. This gives me the chance to build on my strengths and develop strategies to minimise my weaknesses. I also did my SWOK analysis (atta chment 3). 3. Everyone has different values, beliefs and preferences. We might get across people whose views we do not agree, our reaction to the differences and how they affect the way we work is a crucial part of personal and professional development.We need to respect and promote people’s individual views and wishes. Everyone’s values and beliefs are affected to different degrees by the same range of factors, they might include: family values, psychical, social and emotional stages of development, national/regional, cultural background, education, employment, religious beliefs and values. They might affect how we relate to people. It is important that we are aware of how we might behave differently towards people because it could make a difference to the quality of our work.Our beliefs and experiences can help us within our role. OUTCOME 3 4. 1 It is important to continuously engage in personal development to make sure that we are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge not only to perform our current role but also to prepare ourselves for future opportunities and changes required in order to support success of our work place. There are ways in which we can plan personal development. through many types of learning experiences.We can attend training event or workshop, studying for a formal qualification, reading a newspaper, journal, even in discussion. In order to aid the continuous learning, we should keep personal development record. Is it important to identify priorities when agreeing to the plan because it contributes to stability and growth. It provides a basis for monitoring progress, and for assessing results and impact. It enables to look into future in orderly and systematic way, provides clear focus.

Subramainaya Baharathi

Introduction: Subramaniya Bharathi the Poet of Tamil Nationalism & Indian Freedom â€Å"He who writes poetry is not a poet. He whose poetry has become his life, and who has made his life his poetry – it is he who is a poet. † – Bharathy Mahakavi Subramaniya Bharathi was born on 11 December 1882 in Ettiyapuram in Tamil Nadu. Bharathi died on 11 September 1921. In a relatively short life span of 39 years, Bharathi left an indelible mark as the poet of Tamil nationalism and Indian freedom. Bharathi's mother died in 1887 and two years later, his father also died. At the age of 11, in 1893 his prowess as a poet was recognised and he was accorded the title of ‘bharathi'. He was a student at Nellai Hindu School and in 1897 he married Sellamal. Thererafter, from 1898 to 1902, he lived in Kasi. Bharathi worked as a school teacher and as a journal editor at various times in his life. As a Tamil poet he ranked with Ilanko, Thiruvalluvar and Kamban. His writings gave new life to the Tamil language – and to Tamil national consciousness. He involved himself actively in the Indian freedom struggle. It is sometimes said of Bharathi that he was first an Indian and then a Tamil. Perhaps, it would be more correct to say that he was a Tamil and because he was a Tamil he was also an Indian. For him it was not either or but both – it was not possible for him to be one without also being the other. Bharathi often referred to Tamil as his ‘mother'. At the sametime, he was fluent in many languages including Bengali, Hindi, Sanskrit, Kuuch, and English and frequently translated works from other languages into Tamil. His (among all the languages we know, we do not see anywhere, any as sweet as Tamil) was his moving tribute to his mother tongue. That many a Tamil web site carries the words of that song on its home page in cyber space today is a reflection of the hold that those words continue to have on Tamil minds and Tamil hearts. His – was Bharathi's salute to the Tamil nation and many a Tamil child has learnt and memorised those moving words from a very young age – and I count myself as one of them. Bharathi was a Hindu. But his spirituality was not limited. He sang to the Hindu deities, and at the same time he wrote songs of devotion to Jesus Christ and Allah. Bharathi was a vigorous campaigner against casteism. He wrote in ‘Vande Matharam' : – – We shall not look at caste or religion, All human beings in this land – whether they be those who preach the vedas or who belong to other castes – are one. Bharathi lived during an eventful period of Indian history. Gandhi, Tilak, Aurobindo and V. V. S. Aiyar were his contemporaries. He involved himself with passion in the Indian freedom struggle. His ‘Viduthalai, Viduthalai' was not only a clarion call for freedom from alien rule but also addressed the need to unite a people across caste barriers – ! ! ! ! . Bibilography He saw a great India. He saw a n India of skilled workers and an educated people. He saw an India where women would be free. His – expressed the depth of his love and the breadth of his vision for India. Bharathi served as Assistant Editor of the Swadeshamitran in 1904. He participated in the 1906 All India Congress meeting in Calcutta (chaired by Dadabhai Naoroji) where the demand for ‘Swaraj' was raised for the first time. Bharathi supported the demand wholeheartedly and found himself in the militant wing of the Indian National Congress together with Tilak and Aurobindo. Aurobindo writing on the historic 1906 Congress had this to say: â€Å"We were prepared to give the old weakness of the congress plenty of time to die out if we could get realities recognised. Only in one particular have we been disappointed and that is the President's address. But even here the closing address with which Mr. Naoroji dissolved the Congress, has made amends for the deficiencies of his opening speech. He once more declared Self-Government, Swaraj, as in an inspired moment he termed it, to be our one ideal and called upon the young men to achieve it. The work of the older men had been done in preparing a generation which were determined to have this great ideal and nothing else; the work of making the ideal a reality lies lies with us. We accept Mr. Naoroji's call and to carry out his last injunctions will devote our lives and, if necessary, sacrifice them. † (Bande Mataram, 31 December 1906) Many Tamils will see the parallels with the Vaddukoddai Resolution of 1976 which proclaimed independence for the Tamils of Eelam – the work of older men determined to have ‘this great ideal and nothing else' and the later determination of Tamil youth to devote their lives, and ‘if necessary sacrifice them' to make that ideal a reality. In April 1907, he became the editor of the Tamil weekly ‘India'. At the same time he also edited the English newspaper ‘Bala Bharatham'. He participated in the historic Surat Congress in 1907, which saw a sharpening of the divisions within the Indian National Congress between the militant wing led by Tilak and Aurobindo and the ‘moderates'. Subramanya Bharathi supported Tilak and Aurobindo together with ‘Kapal Otiya Thamilan' V. O. Chidambarampillai and Kanchi Varathaachariyar. Tilak openly supported armed resistance and the Swadeshi movement. These were the years when Bharathi immersed himself in writing and in political activity. In Madras, in 1908, he organised a mammoth public meeting to celebrate ‘Swaraj Day'. His poems ‘Vanthe Matharam', ‘Enthayum Thayum', ‘Jaya Bharath' were printed and distributed free to the Tamil people. In 1908, he gave evidence in the case which had been instituted by the British against ‘Kappal Otiya Thamizhan', V. O. Chidambarampillai. In the same year, the proprietor of the ‘India' was arrested in Madras. Faced with the prospect of arrest, Bharathi escaped to Pondicherry which was under French rule. From there Bharathi edited and published the ‘India' weekly. He also edited and published ‘Vijaya', a Tamil daily, Bala Bharatha, an English monthly, and ‘Suryothayam' a local weekly of Pondicherry. Under his leadership the Bala Bharatha Sangam was also started. The British waylaid and stopped remittances and letters to the papers. Both ‘India' and ‘Vijaya' were banned in British India in 1909. The British suppression of the militancy was systematic and thorough. Tilak was exiled to Burma. Aurobindo escaped to Pondicherry in 1910. Bharathi met with Aurobindo in Pondicherry and the discussions often turned to religion and philosophy. He assisted Aurobindo in the ‘Arya' journal and later ‘Karma Yogi' in Pondicherry. In November 1910, Bharathi released an ‘Anthology of Poems' which included ‘Kanavu'. V. V. S. Aiyar also arrived in Pondicherry in 1910 and the British Indian patriots, who were called ‘Swadeshis' would meet often. They included Bharathi, Aurobindo and V. V. S. Aiyar. R. S. Padmanabhan in his Biography of V. V. S. Aiyar writes: â€Å"All of them, whether there was any warrant against them or not, were constantly being watched by British agents in Pondicherry. Bharathi was a convinced believer in constitutional agitation. Aurobindo had given up politics altogether†¦ and Aiyar had arrived in their midst with all the halo of a dedicated revolutionary who believed in the cult of the bomb and in individual terrorism. In 1912, Bharathy published his Commentaries on the Bhavad Gita in Tamil as well as Kannan Paatu, Kuyil Paatu and Panjali Sabatham. After the end of World War I, Bharathi entered British India near Cuddalore in November 1918. He was arrested and imprisoned in the Central prison in Cuddalore in custody for three weeks – from 20 November 20 to 14 Dece mber. He was released after he was prevailed upon to give an undertaking to the British India government that he would eschew all political activities. These were years of hardship and poverty. Eventually, the General Amnesty Order of 1920 removed all restrictions on his movement. Bharathy met with Mahatma Gandhi in 1919 and in 1920, Bharathy resumed editorship of the Swadeshamitran in Madras. That was one year before his death in 1921. Today, more than 80 years later, Subaramanya Bharathy stands as an undying symbol of Indian freedom and a vibrant Tamil nationalism. P. S. Sundaram in his biographical sketch of Subramania Bharathy concludes: â€Å"Though Bharathi died so young, he cannot be reckoned with Chatterton and Keats among the inheritors of ‘unfulfilled renown'. His was a name to conjure with, at any rate in South India, while he was still alive. But his fame was not so much as a poet as of a patriot and a writer of patriotic songs. His loudly expressed admiration for Tilak, his fiery denunciations in the Swadeshamitran, and the fact that he had to seek refuge in French territory to escape the probing attentions of the Government of Madras, made him a hero and a ‘freedom fighter'. His lilting songs were on numerous lips, and no procession or public meeting in a Tamil district in the days of ‘non-cooperation' could begin, carry on or end without singing a few of them†¦ Bharathi's love of Tamil, both the language as it was in his own day and the rich literature left as a heritage, was no less than his love of India†¦ When he claims for Valluvan, Ilango and Kamban, Bharathy does so not as an ignorant chauvinist but as one who has savoured both the sweetness of these writers and the strength and richness of others in Sanskrit and English†¦ â€Å"(in Poems of Subramania Bharathy – A Selection Translated by P. S. Sundaram, Vikas Publishing House Pvt. Ltd, 1982) Mahakavi Subramania Bharathiar was one of the greatest Tamil poets, a prolific writer, philosopher and a great visionary of immense genius. He was also one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian independence movement. His national integration songs earned him the title â€Å"Desiya Kavi† (National Poet). His patriotic songs emphasize nationalism, unity of India, equality of men and the greatness of Tamil language. Bharathiar was born on December 11, 1882 in Ettayapuram, which is now part of Thoothukudi District. Bharathiar was educated at a local high school where his talents as a poet were recognized even at the age of 11. He had voracious appetite for learning ancient and contemporary Tamil literature and had gifted intellect to derive astonishing truths from ancient poems. At the age of 22, he became a Tamil teacher at Setupati High School in Madurai and the same year he was appointed as Assistant Editor of a daily newspaper called â€Å"Swadesamitran†. In 1906, he was editor of a weekly magazine called â€Å"India†. By 1912, Bharathiar was already a legend in South India and his political meetings were attracting multitudes of young patriots, ready to join the non-violent movement for attaining freedom from the British rule. Bharathiar died on September 11, 1921, at the young age of 39. The legacy of the poet however endures forever Literary Works The following collections published by Bharathi piracuralayam, Triplicane, 1949 contains shorter pieces: thEciya keethangal – 57 poems thoththirap pAdalkal – devotional songs, 66 pieces vinayakar nanmanimaalai, kannanpattu -23 pieces pirapadalkal – 30 pieces autobiography in verse form: svacarithai (49 st. ), bharathi arupathu (66 st), cinnacankaran kathai puthiya aaththiccudi, paappapattu (1914, 16 quatrains) pancali capatham – narrative poem in 1548 lines rose – gnana ratham, 1910 short narrative pieces aaril oru pangku,1911-12 Cheeezzzz: The Tamil poet, Maha Kavi Subramaniam Bharathiar, familiarly referred to as Bharathi, has been a real life hero. His extraordinary power was his poetry, his weapon of choice- his pen. He wrote at a time when his country was crying out for reform. Though many may remember him for inspiring h is people to seek freedom from alien rule, he also spoke out for the freedom and equality of the Indian woman – his damsel in distress – in a time when they were barely acknowledged for their existence. The mid 19th century was a time when the Indian woman had absolutely no rights and their relationship with their husbands were close to that of Master and Slave. Women were not thought important enough to pursue studies, as their role was more as the dutiful wife at home. Bharathi was first among the growing school of Renaissance poets during this period who insisted that the only way for a country to grow was through empowering its women. â€Å"Aanum Pennum nigarrenak kolvathaal Ariviloanki ivvagayakam thalaikumaam† Taken from his poem Puthumai Penn (New Woman) the line evokes that â€Å"When we realize that man and woman are equal, this world will flourish with knowledge†. From religious hymns to inspiring nationalist anthems and poems shattering without hesitation every social taboo that was held close by conventional South Indians, Bharathi voiced his opinion without hesitation in a lyrical style that has not even been surpassed by literature that followed his period. Among his well-known poetry is Oadi vilayaadu paapaa. While a poem of instruction for children it also hints to all ages on accepting people as human beings and not on their caste or creed. Jaadhigal illaiyadi paaapaa, Kulath thaalchi uyarchi sollal paavam paapaa Neethi uyarntha mathi kalvi Anbu niraiya udayavargal meloar paapaa â€Å"There is no caste little one. It is a sin to categorise people as high and low caste. Only those who possess justice, intelligence and education and great love are of a high caste† Thus he included the Tamil woman in his fight for freedom who, in one of his essays he called â€Å"Slaves who remain conservative and orthodox† as they were â€Å"not permitted to make their own choices†. Woman as a mother was Bharathi's favourite theme and the book ‘Woman in Modern Tamil Literature' by Loganayagy Nannithamby says that â€Å"Bharati who envisages women as the incarnation of Sakti [Parasakti – the great Goddess or the Mother-Goddess] says in one of his essays on philosophy: As a man, all the female deities you pray to, represent the latent powers of Parasakti hidden in women like your mother, wife, sister and daughter. Bharati's idealist views later turned to more down-to-earth, reformist views with the seeping in of Northern influences like the coming of the Brahmins and Puranas, which was slowly deteorating the status of the woman of the South. He argued that if women's freedom were to be deprived, man would perish along with it and that men were not to monopolize freedom. Aettayum pengal thoduvadhu theemaiyendren niyirunthavar Maaynthuvittar Veetukkullay pennaip pooti vaippoam endra vindai manithar thalai Kavilnthaaar â€Å"Those who thought that women should not touch books and learn have died! Those surprising people who said that we have to lock women in homes to do their duties, have put their heads down in shame. † His hope for women included a librated free woman who thought independently and used her knowledge, like men, for the betterment of the country. His wife Chellamal Bharati, in her biography of her husband related incidents when she says how her husband put all social barriers to the wind and clung to her arms while walking boldly next to her (Brahmin women were required to walk a few steps behind her husband). Nimirntha nannenjum naer konda paarvaiyum Nilathinil yaarukkum anjaatha nerigalum Thimirntha gnanach cherukkum iruppadhaal Semmai maadhargal thirambuvathillaiyaam† â€Å"With upright heart and steadfast look and ideas that are not afraid of anyone in the world- the woman does not falter as she has the delight of wisdom. † This great poet died on September 11, 1921 after being trampled by an Elephant when he went seeking blessings at t he temple. He was thought of as such an outcast at the time that only seven people attended his funeral. But his poetry, which belied his time, caused the birth of new ideas and the emancipation of the status of the woman in India today and remains as inspiration to millions of people around the world.

Malaysia nowadays encourages the citizen to pursue reading culture to gain more knowledge and information. University Technology Mara of Segamat, Johor have a high technology of library known as PERPUSTAKKAN TUN DR ISMAIL (PTDI).As at PTDI, there are many facilities provided by the management in order to support students to get easier to get information. According to Longman Dictionary Contemporary English third edition, library refers to a room or building containing books that can be looked at or borrowed. A library is a collection of sources, resources, and services, and the structure in which it is housed; it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, or a private individual.

Three main types of library described by The Indexer (2008) are public libraries, academic libraries and special libraries. In this report, we would like to ascertain the satisfaction of library usage in UiTM Segamat towards the academic library facilities. We can measure based on the satisfaction of the user based on the different perspective and dimension. 2. 2 Problem Statement PERPUSTAKKAN TUN DR ISMAIL tends to be the leader of source of any infor mation.In achieving their target to they have to improve their customer satisfaction on facilities provided. Refer to the Mohammad A. Hassanain and Ali A. Mudhei (2006) the main purpose of conducting the assessment was to determine whether or not design decisions made by design professionals are providing the performance needed by users who use the facility. In UiTM Segamat, there are problems where space for students to reading is insufficient, lack of control for photocopier and printing machines, no twenty four hours room for staying up, no safety place for bags storage, and inadequate of toilets provided.The necessity on library to provide quality services is critical, based on their role to support university core business that is to produce great graduate which is needed by industry. The question is; did student obtain the quality that they must get? Other than that, what is their perception on library quality services provides as an important academic facility based on types of services? Is it low or more than their perception? Another thing, what is their satisfaction level on services quality at PTDI? 2. 3 Research Question 1. 3. 1How to determine the level of effectiveness facility in library? . 3. 2What are the stages of the students perception on services facility provided? 1. 3. 3What are needed to improve in term of element facility in library? 2. 4 Research Objective 1. 4. 1To determine the level of effectiveness facility in library 1. 4. 2To identify the student perception on services facility provided 1. 4. 3To measure what are need to improve in term of element facility in library 1. 5 Methodology In order to gather all the information, we are only distributing questionnaire and making interview in completing our research. . 5. 1 Questionnaires We had distributed around 60 sheets of questionnaire which were given to the UiTM Segamat students especially from Degree students. By using this method we can get all the information. 1. 5. 2 Discussi on Apart from that, we were also using the discussion method to seek for the information about this matter. 1. 5 Limitation of Study In order to proceed with this research, we will face with some of limitations : 1. 6. 3 Questionnaires We distribute 60 copies of questionnaires but somehow we just get 50 copies in return.Students do not have enough time to give cooperation to us to answer the questionnaires. Students also do not give a full of concentration during answer the questionnaires. 1. 6. 4 Data Analysis It is hard for us construct the data analysis such as the pie chart and the bar chart. 2. 0DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS In this section, we analyzing all the data and the finding will be report and will commence with level of effectiveness facility in library and we are using one of the types of data analysis which is descriptive analysis. This section will present the findings from the various resources that were used.The findings are divided into five section, which are demog raphic, level of satisfaction on library facilities, details of dissatisfaction towards library facilities provided, the elements that need to be improved and suggestion. In this research paper, we found the result of this research regarding satisfaction of students towards the academic library facilities in PERPUSTAKKAN TUN DR ISMAIL. The dimension is only focusing on facilities only instead of services provided.

They want more such as want more space area in library, asking UITM management to improve the wireless in the library, put more computer as the students are many, increase the student safety things, improvement of th e toilet also, and they prefer want have a good network during office hours. All these opinions from their feedback show us that there’s more action needs to take place for achieved the level of satisfaction towards library facilities.In order to improve more the services in library, all the facilities provided are playing the role. It is because without the good facilities, how the library wants to offer a good service? Which mean the facilities are related with the services that the library offer. Some of the respondents are giving a good feedback but some are not. They believe that all the library facilities are need to be improve more in order to attract more student’s to come the library. It is because some student’s doesn’t like to come to the library because not satisfied with the facilities were provided.They feel uncomfortable and sometimes they felt that they prefer want study at room or their own places. 3. 0CONCLUSION Based on the data analysi s and findings, we discover that the level of satisfaction towards library facilities are not achieved a good level. Some of the respondents are giving a good feedback but some are not. They believe that all the library facilities are need to be improve more in order to attract more student’s to come the library. It is because some student’s doesn’t like to come to the library because not satisfied with the facilities were provided.They feel uncomfortable and sometimes they felt that they prefer want study at room or their own places. 4. 0RECOMENDATIONS Refer to the our research, we have been implemented to search what the elements or factors that need to be improve in term of the facilities at the PERPUSTAKAAN TUN DR ISMAIL. What we have been look into at this library, the things that need to seriously improvise are increase the availability of the chairs and table. This is because, the chairs and tables for the student to study are not supported with the numbe rs of student in the UiTM.Most of the student need to wait for their turn to study or to get resources, this is because the there has no place for them to sit while getting the information needed. So, by this the management needs to provide more chairs and tables for make any back up if there a lot number of students want to study at the library. Other than that, the facilities that need to be improve is on the providing additional number if plug accessibility. Based on what we see, most of the student will bring along their laptop to study at libraries.This is because of the wireless system are provided and easy for them to get through of information or data during the study session. But the problems occur when the availability of plug are limited and they have to get turn to using the plug for charging their battery. Some of the students are like to spend their time in library for making assignment, research or to get information in library. So with the limited number of plug it b ecome as a barriers to them for staying at the library for the long period of time. Moreover, the elements that need to improvise are provides more space for 12hours room.The availability of that room now, it cannot be vital with the student requirement. This is because, they need more space for study in that particular room. With the limited space which only can provide for less than 30 persons in that room makes the study for environment are not comfortable otherwise the space are very small and it is not suitable. So, the management needs to make up the space to become more relevant and also can support more students to using that room more effectively. Other than that, the management of library needs to manage the toilet condition.This is because, when the students want to use the toilet, they need to go down stairs and go to the toilet at the entrance of PTDI library. This is because, toilet which in the library is always under the maintenance and it is not properly for the acc essibility of toilet is not capable with not only for the student but also for the other users that come to our library. Therefore, increase in safety of beg shelf. At PTDI the safety of the bag are under the obligation of the students itself, but the place stated for the beg shelf are not suitable this is because it is located outside from the library and there is no lock provided.Although, the safety of the bag under the students itself, the librarian have to provide a proper place for the beg shelf in the meanwhile it can reduce of the pilferage cases. Next is improvement on using the closed-circuit television (CCTV). By having this system, the cases of lost of books, vandalism, students bad attitude and so on can be reducing although it cannot be fully eliminate. Otherwise is providing the room for pray. As we know, majority of the students in UiTM is the Muslim students, it is necessary for providing the space for praying. Moreover is, prerequisite more on photocopy machine and printer availability.What we have been look that, the photocopy machine are always cannot be used because of the breakdown and the machine are only two been provided. So, the management needs to provide more machines for the usage of students and its same goes to printer services. References Longman dictionary of contemporary English (4th edt. ). (2003).

Cause and Effect Essay - The Causes of America’s Social Problems

The causes of social problems exist on many levels. When we ask why social problems such as poverty, unemployment, crime, and war exist, each time we determine a cause, we can ask "why" again, as children often do until they are hushed. Poverty exists because some folks can't find jobs or the jobs pay poorly. But then why is the wage level so low? Because of the tax and land-tenure systems. Why do we have those systems? Because special interests pay to legislate it. Why do special interests get away with it? The voting structure lets them. Why does that structure exist? The voters don't demand to change it. Why not? When we dig down through all the layers to the roots of the causes, we find three fundamental causes of social problems: ignorance, apathy, and greed. The ultimate remedy for social problems therefore must confront all three root causes. It does little good to just run down the street shouting "share the rent!" or "stop war!". Uttering a slogan does no good unless it arouses sympathy. As an example of the interplay between ignorance, apathy, and greed, consider the problem of pollution. Suppose the most efficient preventative is a pollution charge based on the damage caused by each pollutant. However, the government regulates pollution instead, a policy failure that needlessly reduces employment and economic growth. One possible cause is ignorance. But suppose the best policy is known. The owners of the polluting industries seek to influence legislation to prevent the best policy. Because of their campaign contributions and other favors, the government adopts the poorer policy. The cause in this case is greed, both by the influence seeker es for social problems, including the economics, politics, and ethics of the problems and solutions. Then when they educate others, they must at the same time invoke their antipathy to the problem and arouse their sympathy with the remedy. When the masses are roused with sympathy and armed with knowledge of the remedy, the few greedy opponents will either be swayed themselves to join the righteous battle, or be overwhelmed by the greater force of the righteous revolution. To remedy social ills, replace ignorance, apathy and greed with knowledge, sympathy, and charity. Works Cited George, Henry, 1879, Progress and Poverty.

Administration of justice Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2250 words

Administration of justice - Essay Example This scenario deals with a case of arrest under securities fraud, of Michael Pickens, son of the multi-billionaire oil investor T. Boone Pickens, arguably one of the richest persons in the United States of America Michael pleaded guilty and was arrested and charged with securities fraud, having masterminded a major scam to induce investors, through trickery and deception, to buy shares in stocks, such that when their markets turned bullish, the perpetrators of this fraud could sell the stocks for lucrative profits. As a matter of fact, the parties involved in this bogus e-mail fraud had netted $400,000 as profits. However, coming back to Michael Pickens, he has a long history of substance abuse and drug addiction, and has already spent more nearly one and half years, at drug treatment and rehabilitation. The critical question that now arises is what kind of penal, deterrent and/or rehab sentence should be served by the criminal justice delivery system, in the case of Michael Pickens and why should such recourse be chosen. Besides, the goals and objectives of the sentence would also need to be discussed in terms of its potential effectiveness and ability to reform this trickster through integration into mainstream society. 1. Rehabilitation Perspective: According to this view the justice system is a large institution that provides correctional faculties to criminals and law breakers. From this perspective, criminals are not merely seen as scheming, manipulative individuals who mastermind their crimes out of greed, or vendetta. Instead, they are viewed as victims of their circumstances or as being deceived by the society. Thus, in this context, rather than highlighting their crimes and its various ramifications and implications, rehabilitation specialists focus on criminals as individuals, their needs and aspirations, as well as factors that what prompted them to commit the crimes. Thus, they give consideration to what could be possibly done to help rehabilitate such individuals back into the mainstream society. â€Å"Rather than focus on the victim, as the crime control people do, rehabilitation people focus on the criminal: their needs, how can they be helped, and what treatment suits their individual behavior problems† (Worrall, n.d). Perhaps the rehabilitation treatment model, far from being punitive or disciplinary, seeks to enforce effective measures into the justice delivery system, which could aid in diagnosing, treating, monitoring and following up of cases so as to achieve remedial or curative measures for the ‘patient’. The policies of correcting and rehabilitating substance abusers underpin the activities of The California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (CSATF). This facility, with its treatment capacity of 1,428, is presently the largest-in-prison TC in the state besides being one of the biggest in any US prison. 2. Crime control Perspective: To a large extent, the crime control perspective is an anti th esis of the rehabilitative viewpoint, in that it advocates stronger, stricter and more stringent laws and measures against criminals and lawbreakers, actual and potential. This theory adopts a viewpoint that by strengthening and reinforcing policing techniques, like putting more law enforcement personnel on the job, crime rates could be effectively reduced and also better controls and monitoring could be achieved. Besides, better policing infrastructure could help reduce the incidence and regularity of crimes, especially in heavy crime zones. Coming to the current policies, it is seen that more than 30 States in this country have implemented laws, which require a compulsory sentence of a specific period for particular kinds of crimes. Most are directed at drug offenders or those people charged with violent crimes and forbid them from being

Drugs Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words - 1

Drugs - Research Paper Example Legislation was then passed and the creation of the FDA was created in order to oversee and regulate these drugs (Lowinson, Ruiz, Millman, & Langrod, 2005). One of the biggest debates in the United States regarding a specific kind of drug has been whether it should be deemed legalized or whether it should remain illegal. This drug, Cannabis, has sparked such a controversy that many people are ambivalent about whether it should be legalized or not. In order to make an informed decision as far as whether Marijuana should be legalized or not, there are some key notes and facts that must be noted about the drug. Marijuana is a drug which originates from the Cannabis plant. This is the first argument regarding the legalization of the drug is that it occurs in nature without human intervention or alteration. Marijuana originally is from Central and South Asia (ElSohly, 2007). Through trading and the expansion of humanity across the world, it was only a fact that the use of the drug would spread through trade. Its psychoactive properties are what made it such a valuable plant in that it was used in many rituals which involved the transcendence of the soul and allowed communication with other states of being (Booth, 2003). In the United States, the largest uses of marijuana have been from the so called â€Å"Hippie era† to even now. The use of marijuana was criminalized in the 1900s, but has recently leaded to some states wanting to make an exception for the use of marijuana for only medicinal purposes. Most notably, this controversy over some states making the use of marijuana for medic al purposes has lead to the issue of an old problem which plagued America even at the founding, the issue of the right’s of the states versus the power of the federal system. This was seen when California legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes and the federal government stepped in to
