He is poking fun at the age old concept of ‘equality,’ one that has inspired wars and movements alike; he accomplishes this by creating a system to make everyone equal, a system that happens to be just as stupid as the idea of ‘total equality.’ Under this system equality is achieved, but it is at the cost of individual freedom and a society full of stupid people, this in-turn creates the situational irony found in the story. The plot of the story itself is a piece of situational irony, however there are many other instances found throughout it, including verbal irony. One specific example of this is when Hazel and George are talking, Vonnegut writes “ ‘I think I’d make a good Handicapper General.

Another example of this false sense of equality is when George says,
Throughout this text, the protagonist Holden Caulfield is portrayed as someone who is facing the typical struggles that became apparent in society due to the industrialisation of the 20th century. Despite his un-heroic nature, we’re called to examine wether or not Holden has enough characteristics to be titled an archetypal anti-hero. His mental instability and judgemental personality can be used to argue against this statement. Conversely, the obvious flaws that he posses and the heroic desires that he has may just be enough for him to redeem his title as an anti-hero. Through the discussion of these points, we can come to an educated conclusion as to wether or not Holden is in fact the archetypal 20th century anti-hero.
For all its emphasis on power, much of the play is actually concerned with powerlessness. In what ways is powerlessness important in Richard III? In King Richard III, Shakespeare depicts Yorkist society as an utterly selfish, power-hungry world in which social standing is of the utmost importance. Antagonist and evil “villain” Richard exemplifies this egotism and avarice through his constant, ruthless manipulation and deceit of others. However, Shakespeare makes it clear that in fact others’ narrow-mindedness is key to Richard’s success.

Few people saw the profit margin potential in selling such homely goods at discount and massive volume. But Stemberg (Owner of Staples In) was convinced and hired an investment banker to help raise money. Romney eventually heard Stenberg’s pitch, and he and his partners dug into Stemberg’s projections. They called lawyers, accountants and scores of business owners in the Boston area to query them on how much they spent on supplies and whether they’d be willing to shop at large new store.

Tanglewood prefers to promote from within, allowing the managerial employees to grow with the company, already experienced with the social and cultural environment.

“Business entities are distinct organizations in our society whose sole purpose is to increase profits for shareholders”(Kubasek et al., 2012, p. 192). Benji learned all about these types of companies when he attended Liberty University and now he is interviewing for a job with one of them.
