Technology confined in every operation and execution of a business. In the present situation technologies are driving forces behind product design, create business models and makes competitive among organisation. At the same time technology offer great advantage for authentic environment for an organisation and people. Dealing with today's situation application of Virtual Reality (VR) seems to given excellent promise in providing an alternative "real life" environment in situation where it is impossible for people to experience. Traditional architectural environments are no longer able to effectively accommodate clients' expectations and demand. Thus, this study attempts to incorporate VR technology in order to create authentic and real life viewing environment for people who wants to see their future homes and buildings. As well as to get to know how VR eliminates the traditional separation between operator and machine, providing more of direction and spontaneous interaction with information. In this report there will be three parts that illustrate such as basic information and definition of VR, history, advantage and disadvantages of VR. Second would be personal perspective on research findings and finally discussion about potential opportunities for firms to invest in the future on VR technology. 2.0 Definition Get more content
Essay About The Holocaust The Holocaust was one of the lowest points in the history of this world, which anyone and everyone can agree on. Although, without it I wouldn't have been able to learn the following lessons. To begin, because of the beliefs of one man, it has affected a lot of history. For example, Hitler had believed that the cause of all evil was due to the Jews. To support this, Hitler had made many laws and even made sure that the Jews didn't get the right to own anything no matter what it was. Furthermore, Hitler also believed that the best look for anyone to have would be blue eyes and blond hair. This relates to the topic because, Hitler preferred if every single person had that type of look so they met his standards. In addition, Hitler had killed...show more content... For instance, the Jews as well as others had been put into concentration camps. These people include anyone who is disabled in any sense. This is proving my point because, most people who are disabled were born like that and weren't able to fix the problem ahead of time. In addition to that, people who were gay or "not straight" were also put into the camps. Much like the disabled, gays were born the way they were and can't help this fact, so they are being judged harshly by something they can't stop. Finally, the other people, besides Jews, that were put into the concentration camps were anyone of a different race. Like the other people I have talked about, people of a different culture were born that way and couldn't control what they were born into. In order to prove all of these reasons, it states, "...the Nuremberg Laws extends the prohibition on marriage or sexual relations between people who could produce 'racially suspect' offspring. A week later, the minister of the interior interprets this to mean relations between 'those of German or related blood' and Roma (Gypsies), blacks, or their offspring" (The Nuremberg Race Laws). This quote relates back to the topic because, the Nuremberg Laws had caused people to constantly judge anyone who was slightly different from the way they were born. In summary, the lesson that I had learned from this was, to never judge someone Get more content
The Mind of a Serial Killer Essay Serial murder is one of the most baffling crimes that occur in the U.S. and all over the world. Knight (2006) defines serial murder as the killing of three or more people over a period of more than 30 days, with a significant cooling–off period. The cooling off period may be weeks, months or even years long. Researchers have proposed various psychological, biological and sociological theories that offer a partial understanding of the nature of serial murder. Some propose that the basis for criminal behavior is a predisposition to violence as well as a mix between environment, personality traits and biological factors. Serial killers are predominantly male. Only 3 percent of serial murders are committed by women (U.S. News and World Report,...show more content... (Warf, 2002) People who have been diagnosed with this cluster are sexually inappropriate, prone to a grandiose view of their own uniqueness and abilities, emotionally unstable, self–centered, lacking and sense of guilt, shame or empathy and are often superficially charming, manipulative and exploitative. Most serial killers exhibit a well known triad of behaviors in childhood: a fascination with fire, cruelty to animals and prolonged bed–wetting. Many become almost uncontrollably interested in pornography as teenagers and anti–social when they reach adulthood. Most were physically and/or sexually abused. However, they appear normal in surface appearance and behavior. Typically with this illness, comes overpowering waves of compulsion to kill that wax and wane over time but normally get worse with age. Serial killers are described by law enforcement as organized or unorganized. Organized killers often appear normal in their appearance and socially. They typically plan their killing, have a mode of transportation and bring some sort of murder "kit", containing the tools they will need. Most serial killers don't use guns. The victims usually fit into a certain profile (e.g. gender, race, hair color etc.) and they will hunt down their victims. The organized killer is more likely to have a crime scene picked out, take or discard the weapon, and move or transport the body to a hiding place. In contrast to the organized killer the Get more content
Minecraft Essay Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn't even been released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus "Notch" Persson, and this is his story. What makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a company. He started to work on Minecraft in his free time but after a giant popularity spike he realized that it could be a hit, so he quit his job and began...show more content... The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but they continued to rise. With popularity increasing, big name comics like "Penny Arcade" and "Hejibits" discovered the game too and published comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000 a day and continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl Manneh, Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few people make up the team that continues to work towards Minecraft's future. But with so few employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who buy the game get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs, critics, and even their own fans. One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company's 1 hit wonder. What happens if it truly is a one hit wonder? Will the company go down under? Will it be the end of Mojang? Will they join a publisher in order to stay afloat and lose their title of "indie?" Another speculation concerns Mojang's next game that has absolutely nothing to do with Minecraft, not even in the same genre. What if nobody likes the game? What Get more content
Teen Wolf Argumentative Essay The success and social acceptance of Teen Wolf is well explained by the fact that the drama series has already been renewed for its sixth season, even before the completion of the fifth season.

Including their behavior and interactions with the environment. All plant and animal life forms are included from the microscopic pico plankton al the way to the majestic blue whale. Marine biology is a very broad area so most researchers select a particular area of interest and specialize on it.

Possible careers for those intrigues in marine biology include a teaching position, being a research scientist, hydrologist,...show more content... Captain Cook is most known for his extensive voyages of discovery for the British Navy, mapping much of the world's uncharted waters during that time. He circumnavigated the world twice during his lifetime, during which he logged descriptions of numerous plants and animals then unknown to most of mankind. Following Cook's explorations, a number of scientists began a closer study of marine life including Charles Darwin (1809–1882) who, although he is best known for the Theory of Evolution, contributed significantly to the early study of marine biology. His expeditions as the resident naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836 were spent collecting and studying specimens from a number of marine organisms that were sent to the British Museum for cataloguing. His interest in geology gave rise to his study of coral reefs and their formation. His experience on the HMS Beagle helped Darwin formulate his theories of natural selection and evolution based on the similarities he found in species specimens and fossils he discovered in the same geographic region. The voyages of the HMS Beagle were followed by a 3–year voyage by the British ship HMS Challenger led by Sir Charles Wyville Thomson (1830–1882) to all the oceans of the world during which thousands of marine specimens were collected and analyzed. This voyage is often referred to as the birth Get more content

Various types of sleep disorders and parasomnias can interfere with sleep, leaving one feeling sluggish and slow. Many people live with sleep disorders that are untreated or not diagnosed, while others suffer with these disorders, and are unable to get a good night's sleep. Sleep disorders affect many people and they can be easily treated. Other types of sleep disorders can be grown out of, or lived with without effecting one's life.

(Brynie, 23) Nightmares and night terrors develop during these ages as well as sleepwalking and "bedtime resistance." (Brynie, 23) In teens, time spent in slow wave sleep decreases and they wake more at night which then leaves them feeling sleepier during the day due to shifting hormones and social demands. Illnesses require more sleep because while fighting the infection, the brain triggers sleep centers, and the pituitary gland sends signals to step up the production of white blood cells that fight the viruses and other microorganisms. (Brynie, 20) Sleep is not only needed to reenergize the body, but it is also needed to help fight off sicknesses, and boost a child's growth and development. There are many stages of sleep in the sleep cycle. These stages begin at one and goes to five, five being REM sleep, or Rapid Eye Movement sleep. In stage one, the body experiences sudden muscle contractions, causing the sensation of falling and jumping awake. The big muscles relax and the eyes will continue to move, but the slightest disturbance can awake the sleeper. Stage two includes sleep spindles, which are occasional bursts of activity in the brain. However, the brain may block out anything that might arouse the sleeper. Stage three is when deep sleep begins and the sleeper becomes difficult to wake. Stage four is the deepest of all sleeps. During stage four bed wetting, sleepwalking and sleep talking occur the most. (Brynie, 12–13) Stage five is REM Get more content

Essay On The Colosseum History: The colosseum was built in 72 C.E. The massive stadium was commissioned by the emperor Vespasian as a gift for the people. The emperor Nero had built a huge lake all for himself. When Nero committed suicide and Vespasian became emperor, he drained the lake and and started building the colosseum over it. This was built over something that was made for one selfish person and built something for the people to share. It took 8 years to build. Sadly Vespasian died before he could see the grand opening of the colosseum leaving it to his son Titus to finish his work. Amphitheater means double theater. Architecture: The colosseum was huge as it could comfortably seat 70,000 people. It covers about 6 acres of land and is 620 feet long, 512 feet wide, and 158 feet tall. It was the tallest and largest building of its time. It was built from limestone, concrete and volcanic stone. The colosseum has many arches on the outside and every arch has a statue under it. The statues were of gods and heroes, all made of bronze. Above all the arches were shields, which were also made of bronze. On top of the roof platform hundreds of sailors would control a huge awning which protected the spectators from rain and created shade on hot days. The awning was retractable and masts extended from supports built into the Colosseum's top. Seating in the Coliseum was determined by group. The best seats were reserved for the emperor as it had the best view. Behind that was the seating for high Get more content
Essay On Counselling Counselling is a talking therapy that involves an interactive relationship of client and counsellor (Geldard & Geldard, 2009a). Counselling offers opportunities for clients to talk to the counsellor about their problems and feelings in a confidential environment. A counsellor generally helps the clients to see things from a different perspective and find their own solutions based on their own beliefs. The primary purpose of counselling is to enable the clients to develop a better understanding of self and be able to make changes to cope with difficulties in their lives, by reaching their own decisions and act upon them accordingly to develop a satisfying life (Geldard & Geldard, 2009a). The self is a summation of a complex, dynamic and organized system of learned beliefs that a person holds to be true about his own existence and this make human beings unique (Purkey & Stanley, 2001). Therefore, client–counsellor relationship is unique for each person. To ensure the effectiveness of counselling, Carl Rogers identified 3 desirable conditions of the client–counsellor relationship that can be applied throughout the counselling session (Geldard & Geldard, 2009b)....show more content... Rogers regard empathy as the basis for anything that occurs during a counselling. A counsellor should be empathic with the client as trusting relationship can be formed when the client feels cared for and secure. This relationship can be developed by understanding of the thoughts and feelings that the client experienced. In other words, a counsellor should 'walk into the client's shoes' to get a better understanding of the client. With this trust, the clients might expose their innermost thoughts and feelings to the Get more content

10 Things I Hate About You Essay 10 Things I Hate About You takes William Shakespeare's classic play, The Taming of the Shrew and manages to make it relevant to a modern audience. The story remains the same with the younger sister, Bianca, not allowed to have a relationship until her older sister, Kat, does. They did maintain several original scenes and even used several direct quotes from the original play. The writers have eliminated some of Bianca's suitors and changed the way Kat is tamed to appeal to a modern audience. Shakespeare would have agreed with the casting of the movie. This movie may turn Shakespeare's work into a teen comedy but it maintains many of the elements that made the play such a hit. The younger sister cannot have a relationship with a man...show more content... Petruchio may have been mean to her in order to tame her but by the end; he shows how he truly loves her. "Come, my sweet Kate/Better once than never, for never too late" (Shakespeare Vi 149–150). Kat's sonnet about her feelings towards Patrick show that she has accepted that she can be in love. This is her version of being "tamed" because she can rely on someone other than herself. Patrick uses the money he made dating her to buy her a guitar and beg for her forgiveness. He has fallen for her though that was no his original intention. "I thought you could use it. You know, when you start your band. Besides, I had some extra cash, you know. Some asshole paid me to take out a really great girl but I screwed up. I fell for her" (10 Things I Hate About You). Besides the story, the filmmakers have used several exact lines from the play in the movie. Cameron echoes Lucentio's line, "I burn, I pine, I perish"(Shakespeare Ii 155) when he sees Bianca for the first time. Kat, like Kate, tells her sister "You don't always have to be who they want you to be" (10 Things I Hate About You). The filmmakers kept Shakespeare's story of love and deceit intact in the modernization. Several elements are modernized in 10 Things to bring the 16th century tale to the 20th century but the basic story and themes remain the same. The filmmakers bring the story to Padua, Washington in Get more content
Dialectical Tension Examples In Relationships that we deal with everyday there are dialectical tensions and issues that arise. These tensions can greatly effect a relationship whether it be with a romantic partner, friend or family. In this paper, I will define, discuss and give examples of three dialectical Tensions; describe how they have impacted relationships in my life and how I've managed these tensions with management strategies. The three Tension I will discuss are 'autonomy vs. connectedness', 'novelty vs. predictability', and 'openness vs. closedness'. The four managing strategies for these dialectical tensions are: selection, separation, neutralization, and reframing. The personal relationship in which I will use personal examples in this paper will be my best friend and I and the tensions that we...show more content... A way in which this is easily recognizable which way your relationship is between autonomy and connectedness, Is whether the other person is saying 'I' or is saying 'we'. This tension happens often in romantic relationships when one person wants to be with the other all the time, while the other feels 'suffocated' and has a need for individuality. "Thus, too much integration comes with the loss of autonomy and individuality, whereas extreme separation limits connection and can threaten the relationship."(Sahlstein, E., & Dun, T. 2008, p.37). Therefore either Autonomy or connectedness in a relationship, too much of one or the either can issues emerge. A personal example of an experience that I've had is with my best friend and I. When we were in high school we both graduated early in December, I went to a community college to get some credits before transferring to a four year college, whereas he just took a break from everything. Every day when I got off of school we would hang out and do stuff. Get more content
Essay On Prehistory And History Prehistory literally means "before history". It is derived from the Latin word which means "before" (Prehistory Wikipedia, 2011). This was the era when there were no written records yet about the existence of the first wave of ancient humans. This was also the time when the periods were divided into subgroup system which consists of the Stone Age, Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Prehistory gave rise to the emergence of civilizations. This was also the time when the evolution of the early human beings was influenced by some inventions such as the writing system. So basically, prehistory is the time when the first set of human beings came into existence along with their discoveries and inventions. "History (from Greek бј±ПѓП„ОїПЃОЇО±, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation")[2] is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans and it can also refer to the academic discipline which uses narrative to examine and analyze a sequence of past events" (History, Wikipedia, 2014).

Both the prehistory and history has been an instrument on how our cultural heritage was shaped. That is why if we have some confusions about our heritage, we always go back to how it started in the prehistoric era and what were recorded as Get more content

For example, if the worker is a poor person he will not satisfy his needs but still have the respect of social. Moreover, Maslow's did not give important to the belief and I think that is more important than all the needs that mentioned in the hierarchy. However, this theory could be found in our lives always. The ERG theory based on work, but there is slight different. Alderfer has divided his needs to three groups of needs existence needs, relatedness needs and growth needs. The definition of needs Alderfer firstly, existence needs one of the necessary needs that are physiological and security needs such as, needs for food. Secondly, relatedness needs which is about the individual and the society in which they live. Finally but not least, growth needs include the human ability and self–realization. However, Alderfer theory has a different aspect with Maslow's. That if a person failed to reach the top of that needs he have to return again to the basic needs. While Maslow's theory has focused on seeking to achieve human need one at the same time. On the other hand, ERG believes that human could achieve more than one needs at the same time (Alerfer 1972, cited in Smith and Taylor 2007). Alderfer theory is in line with the needs of Maslow's theory that the individual Get more content

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is an important law that was passed, which advocates for the needs of disabled children. Federal funding is given to the schools to meet the needs of students with disabilities. Each state works with the federal government to provide this service. It is the states responsibility to follow the laws and find appropriate placement for these children. (US Department of Education, 2007) These students go through a process called appropriate placement by going through a series of referrals, evaluations, and classifications to see which category they fall under. These students may suffer with learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, emotional disorders, cognitive challenges, autism, hearing impairment, visual impairment, speech or language impairment, and developmental delay. Once they find the category then the Child Study Team (CST) made up of a school psychologist, social worker, and a learning disabilities teacher consultant will decide if the student needs an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Then the consultant will decide if the student needs an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This program is offered to students struggling in school allowing them to be taught a different way in the school system. If the student needs an IEP the multidisciplinary committee will meet.

Upon reviewing the literature, the author found that, patients' perspective about physical exercise differs widely. In their study Holder et al (2015) found that, the increased awareness of the mortality after the cardiac event, help the patients to change their outlook towards life and this further help them to realise the health benefit of exercise. In addition to that, some of the patients claimed that, exercise helped to divert their mind and thus helps them to cope with the condition (Holder et al, 2015). Moreover, the current cardiac rehabilitation programme, made the patients aware of the health benefits of exercise and, therefore they were motivated to continue the exercise (Hillsdon et al, 2013; Morken et al, 2013). Exercising in a safe environment, under the supervision of the trained staff increases the confidence of patients in participating exercise (Morken et al, 2013). The study also found that, the patient increases their self–confidence level in performing exercise, after seeing the health improvements in the former cardiac patients (Morken et al, 2013). Furthermore, Back et al (2017) carried a further study to evaluate Get more content
An Introduction to Globalization Essay Globalization is a historical phenomenon that has been happening for decades now, and whether it generates growth or not is a matter of whose point of view it is. The western countries, especially America and some European nations, are the ones taking full advantage of the benefits of globalization. On the other hand, some experts say that globalization is not doing much for the developing countries, or that it may be even worsening their scenarios of poverty and social inequality. But, I will get back to that later . The point is that globalization, while it was primarily triggered by the emergence of a global market and facilitated by the democratization of communication technologies, also caused cultural, social and even political...show more content... We are in the era of free information flow and democratization of communication tools. Through the Internet, people are able to produce content and distribute it in many different ways to infinite different people. What is really amazing is that the idea of distance lost its significance. Now, you are able to communicate from your house in the south of Brazil with friends who live in India, America or any other place in the world. Messages are overcoming huge distances because of technological improvements and the implementation of global networks. The third movement is political. Basically, it means that since globalization implies a compression of national boundaries, which were brought about by the increase of trade at the global level, the importance of both the activity of international legal institutions and treats, like the World Trade Organization, and the dialogue between political leaders of different nations has risen significantly. Also, in the globalized world we see a quite interesting phenomenon: the importance given by nations' leaders to their self–image in the international political scene. Think this way: when countries were not dependent on the businesses they had with other countries why would presidents bother to be admired by other national leaders? What we see now is a scenario where nations' leaders struggle for status among the international political elite. The last set Get more content
Virtual Reality ( Vr ) ABSTRACT Seeing is believing, these words are the best combination to understand the meaning of Virtual Reality (VR). VR is one of the best asset and aspect of our future. No other technology has seen such a revolution like VR has. It is practically in use in almost every field such as entertainment, gaming, defense, robotics, medical, healthcare, military, education, fashion, heritage, business, engineering and many more fields. VR sometimes called Virtual Environment has drawn much attention in the last two decade. Extensive media coverage causes the much more rapid increase in the interest of the masses. Very few people, however, really know what VR is and what are its open problems are. In this report a historical overview of virtual reality is presented, basic terminology as an introduction are listed, followed by applications of this technology in science, work, and entertainment areas. Its present developments are thoroughly discussed in this report. Finally, the future of VR is considered in two aspects: technological and social. New research directions, technological frontiers and potential applications are pointed out. The possible positive and negative influence of VR on life of average people is speculated. The promise of VR is always been enormous. Put on the devices and go nowhere, and be transported anywhere. It's the same escapism peddled by the drugs, alcohol, sex and art– throw off the shackles of the mundane through a metaphysical transportation to an Get more content
