Also for example a literary work located in the Western-society will differ greatly from a literary piece from the Middle-East. This can be explained through morals, norms, beliefs and opinions, which for each person are subjective, and are usually the basis for a literary piece of work, and if this isn’t the case at least they’ll have great influence. Beliefs of an individual are usually the result of conforming to a certain group of individuals, if not consciously then unconsciously. This can easily happen, as people live fairly close to each other and communicate with each other, sharing their opinions. Media is the biggest influence in society today, as its easy access and easily spreads information to all corners of the Globe.
The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new. The article stated that at one point Wilbur had a fear of unintentionally overlapping verses, this shows the possibility of verses may have been more limited than it is
1.4, 7.4 The benefits to working in a diverse workforce is that it gives me confidence to talk to people that are different age, gender, race, religion etc. I can learn things that I previously wouldn’t be able to do if we were all the exact same.

Working in a diverse workforce means that I need to remember the organisational procedures and legal requirements regarding discrimination legislation in the work place, I need to respect others and their points of view. 1.5, 7.2 It is very important to be aware of any serious issues a person is having as their workload may be affecting them.
Throughout history, people can not exist without storytelling because of its great power and the materials that shapes every human endeavour. Storytelling satisfied need to explain surrounding physical world, the novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an intriguing tale that could easily be classified as a children's story, but beneath its surface it shows one man's struggle to overcome censorship and religious persecution.

Likewise, in Clemens’s Cannibalism in the Cars, the written description only serves for so many creative possibilities; it is the storyteller that really brings the story to life. It is through the narratives of these stories (and several others) that one determines how oral tradition allows for a more innovative depiction. To take on the speaking role of a written text is to breathe life into a literary character, making the character real, and allowing for a number of creative interpretations to a literary genre demanding the memorization of characters and
One of his well known for his motivating speeches, like his "I have a dream" speech made on Augest 28th, 1963. Through this speech he changed the views of so many.

Storytelling and Its Prominence Stories are simply theories that have gone through many generations of revising and editing, many of which may still be inaccurate today. However, no matter how imperfect a story may be, it is still effective and powerful enough to influence the ways in which we live. As once said by Ben Okri, “The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.” It is amazing how a combination of twenty-six letters can be held against us, define us, change our lives, and inspire us. Storytelling is important to human existence because it is a means of capturing memories of the past and incorporating them into ethical and everyday life.
THE USE OF IRONY IN ACHEBE’S “GIRLS AT WAR” The literary element, irony is mostly used by authors to portray the modern age experience which is complex, multidimensional and contradictory. Irony comes in various forms and it connotes a sense of double meaning as well as contradiction. The rhetorical device of irony in literature is often far more effective than a direct and literal statement. The successful use of irony however depends on the audience’s role in not just counting the ironies but realizing the implications of the ironies used and its intention by the author. In Chinua Achebe’s short story “Girls At War”, he carefully exploits the central message of the story through his exquisite usage of irony.
There is a general consensus among some sociologists that Bourdieu’s theory is a centrepiece in the explanation of the relationship between the education system and the culture of the dominant society. Bourdieu’s argument that the education system is the vehicle of the culture of the dominant society has been to a great extent influential in most societies, old and present. To a lesser extent some scholars and sociologists regard Bourdieu’s thesis as not precise and vivid enough on some aspects. It is therefore the objective of this write-up to define the key terms such as education, culture, capital culture, dominant society and to explore Bourdieu’s contribution as well as to highlight a few aspects his theory overlooked. Haralambos and Holborn (1994:3) view the culture of a society,” as the way of life of its members, the collection of ideas and habits which they learn, share and transmit from generation to generation.
A stereotype is a popular belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype).
