Organisational Culture of Etisalat

Authoritative Culture of Etisalat Etisalat †Organizational Culture Official Summary: The underneath conversation is an investigation into the authoritative culture part of the organization Etisalat. In this regard we could state that the conversation gives a thought of the idea of hierarchical culture and an organization brief of Etisalat. Next the conversation uncovers the hierarchical culture of the organization Etisalat and clarifies the equivalent and draws an arrangement of authoritative culture of the organization with the Hofstede hypothesis. Next the conversation talks about the positive parts of the organization culture. The end causes one’s to notice the negative effect of the Etisalat authoritative culture lastly the conversation closes with suggestions for better execution of the organization in future Presentation: The part of hierarchical culture involves a significant part of the administration investigations of the present occasions. Actually the component of hierarchical culture likewise uncover an extensive part of the association work feeling and the key methodologies that the organization will have in managing the different circumstances. At the end of the day the authoritative culture speaks to the perspectives, convictions, values and the assessments of the individuals from the association, both the representatives and the administration of the organization. Etisalat or the Emirates broadcast communications Corporations is the biggest telecom organization of the district. The organization was at first a British organization which was later purchased out by the administration of the country of UAE and about 60% of the offers was held by the legislature of the country and the remainder of the 40% of the offers were made accessible for the general masses. In the accompanying conversation we will represent certain parts of the hierarchical culture of the organization Etisalat †the worldwide telecom mammoth, which has an authoritative culture much tinted by the innate convictions of the Islam society. Body of the Discussion: In this piece of the conversation we will be taking a gander at the different parts of the hierarchical culture that wins with regards to the organization Etisalat. Etisalat Organizational Culture: The organization Etisalat or the Emirates media transmission Corporation was at first incepted to give a world class telecom framework to the UAE. Anyway in the coming occasions the organization expanded in different pieces of the Middle East and furthermore parts of Asia. Presently the organization is working in almost 18 nations everywhere throughout the world and has a customer base of in excess of 150 million clients. Over the span of its development we see that the organization has kept up a very worker arranged methodology. One of the most beginning and critical perspective to which the administration of the organization has given point by point consideration is the advancement of its representatives. The component of worker dynamism and its improvement comprises to be a basic element of the company’s interior elements. By and by we see that the component of morals again is a significant rule for the organization of Etisalat. As a basic component of the hierarchical culture both the administration and the representatives of the organization do have inspirational mentality towards the element of preparing and improvement. For this situation we see that the administration of the organization do have a positive and sharp demeanor towards preparing its workers so they think of better and inventive thoughts later on that would be basic in the improvement of the organization. Indeed we see that the hierarchical culture of the organization reflects that the administration of the organization is very forward glancing and dynamic in nature and is keen on a forceful showcasing attempt according to which the organization is making development in new organizations and is likewise reinforcing its situation through acquisitions and mergers. Again the organization culture is by all accounts practically in a state of harmony with the economically dynamic culture of the country of the United Arab Emirates. Since we see that the organization in its undertaking to enter new markets are additionally not reluctant to make some extensive speculation into the class of market and brand building. Notwithstanding a similar we see that the activity duty of the considerable number of components and the individuals from the organization are treated with an equivalent measure of significance and hugeness. For this situation we see that the chiefs and the group leads of the organization do get a kick out of the chance to pay a nearby degree of consideration regarding the exhibition gauges of all the colleagues. Preference isn't encouraged in the Company as the equivalent could prompt some intense results. In this association one could clarify that an aggregate exhibition remains as basic according to the way of life of the organization. Then again we additionally see that the organization attempts to transcend the sex inclination that is nevertheless a checked component of the United Arab Emirates society. We do see that a portion of the senior and the critical positions are again led by the female workers of the firm and the firm additionally supports a bigger enlistment of the female applicants independent of the position. Really in the ebb and flow times according to the tides of globalization, the organization has raised much over the Middle Eastern qualities and has legitimately become a worldwide association as far as the hierarchical culture. Authoritative Culture Theories: One of the exceptionally old and regularly utilized speculations that is applied to clarify the idea of Organizational Culture is that of the Hofstede hypothesis. Hofstede in his hypothesis of authoritative culture has been pushing on the factor that diverse topographical districts and countries contributes to the creation of the hierarchical culture. The component of association culture reflects the feature of mental projects and thinking designs and the procedure of social activities. In this regard it should be said that component of hierarchical culture additionally does enormously rely upon the feature of the morals and the way of life of the general public and the country all in all wherein the organization is operational. In the extent of the hypothesis we can see that Hofstede has thought about specific aspects that will assist an organization with having a dynamic and forward looking hierarchical culture. For this situation we see that the prominent researcher happened to push on the realities that the force separation or the separation between the few layers of the association must be limited. By and by the organization needs to figure out how to evade vulnerability that may emerge later on. The organization culture has focus on both the components of independence just as that of community. The organization should likewise transcend the aspects of woman's rights and Masculinity and should likewise be having both Long term and Short term direction. In this regard we can say that the association Etisalat is very in arrangement with the conviction and the speculations of the idea that was engendered by Hofstede. To outline a similar we can clarify the accompanying focuses: The component of intensity separation is remembered and is trailed by the administration of the organization Etisalat. We see that inside the organization so as to improve and inventive thoughts from the components of the organization from all the layers of the progressive framework, solidification and centralization of intensity is commonly disheartened and an open and genial discussion is kept up according to which the different workers of the organization can think of different thoughts and ideas. As far as vulnerability evasion we see that the organization anticipates attempt just those thoughts and ideas that appear to be very substantial and what the representatives of the organization get through. The organization again attempts to serve and convey results to the two its representatives just as the clients the same. By and by on account of community and independence we see that the organization do keep up a fine equalization according to which the presentation of all the individual representatives are remembered and that the exhibition of the groups are contemplated whereupon together adjusts cooperation and furthermore independence. Despite the fact that the general public of the country UAE do have an inclination towards the male components of the general public according to which we see that the best alternatives in with or without the fields are saved for the guys of the general public, yet on account of Etisalat we see that the organization gives a reasonable opportunity to the female representatives who are additionally working in the absolute most critical places of the organization. From the last angle we see that the as far as the drawn out directions the eastern nations are given an inclination than the momentary western nations. Positive and negative effects: It has regularly been refered to that the component of authoritative culture frequently assumes a significant job in the improvement of the association and furthermore the different operational and vital styles and examples that the equivalent fuses. For this situation we can subsequently infer that the component of authoritative culture has a noticeable job in the achievement or the disappointment of the organization. Truth be told the definitive choices that the administration frequently takes are consistently impacted by the authoritative culture of the organization. On account of the organization Etisalat we see that the circumstance is absolutely the same. For this situation we see that the authoritative culture has various positive effects on the organization. They are as per the following: The hierarchical culture enables the representatives of the organization to concoct new thoughts because of which we to see that the organization consistently has some new thought up its sleeve that the administration goes for the better execution of the organization later on. It likewise upgrades the individual aptitudes and the certainty of the organization. The working vibe of the organization ends up being a somewhat positive one and we see that the organization and its representatives have an uplifting disposition that encourages them continue towards development and achievement. Quintessentially we see that the hierarchical culture has a solid impact on the agen

World climate change

IntroductionThe feel and communicate with one another, the Earth changes the circle, volcanic ejections and the vitality got from Sun modifications †these are results of the universe clime adjustment. More than 100 yeas prior, individuals had started terminating coal, gas and oil, which lead to atmosphere change and causation nursery result and planetary warming. As a result of the human exercises the spread of nursery gases, for example, C dioxide, azotic oxide and methane, impact on planetary warming and prompts climate that known as â€Å"greenhouse effect† . Just on account of burning of petroleum derivatives, each twelvemonth more than 30 billion metric huge amounts of C dioxide go oning discharged to air and even 7 billion metric tons to boot go oning to inhale by deforestation exercises. Expanding centralization of C dioxide in the atmosphere can increment planetary temperature to 7A °C and impact on the planetary greatest environments to resistless downturn. For contrasting, expanding temperature to 2A °C can take to vanishing of 20 †30 % of species. The nursery gases †azotic oxide and methane are expanding by human exercises as great and have less ground-breaking nursery result than C dioxide. Methane delivers on topographic focuses, for example, landfill locales, supported lowlands what's more in the spines of residential vivify creatures. Measure of azotic oxide is expanding by N composts being utilized in agribusiness. During the last 20 †30 mature ages the Arctic has been warming twice than rest of the universe. Land †ice and snow screen is diminished, during this period, which impacts the land warms quicker than ocean. This warming prompts conditions that Northern Hemisphere is warming more than Southern. Truth be told, ocean degree is rises, in view of ice defrosts, when warming clime cause that H2O from dissolved icy masses streams into the seas ; and thermic amplification †when warming clime prompts warming H2O in sea, which is cause ocean degree rise.The Kyoto understandingIn 11 December 1997 in Kyoto, Japan was embraced and in 2005 went into power the Kyoto understanding †global comprehension †Convention on Climate Change. In the Kyoto understanding set imprints for 37 industrialized states and the European people group to chop down nursery gas transmission. Orchestrating to the Kyoto understanding, the states ought to achieve checks through national advances and off ers three market based systems for it ; spread exchanging, clean improvement instrument and joint execution. Outflow exchanging or the C showcase is managerial control of transmission. All gatherings of the convention acknowledged imprint to limit or chop down transmission. Because of C dioxide mainly is the central nursery gas, that ‘s why C presently exchanged like different stocks. The perfect advancement system permits to a state with spread lessening or limitation committedness to take a shot at transmission decline endeavors in creating states. Joint execution permits to a state with discharge limitation or decline committedness from transmission abatement or remotion endeavors to pick up radiation decline units. Blending to the convention, radiations of states must be checked and every one of these records ought to be kept. The main point of the Kyoto convention is to chop down corporate spread of nursery gases by 5 % in contrasting and twelvemonth 1990. The transmission mark for each state ought to be accomplished by 2008 †2012 mature ages. The Kyoto convention is the principal measure in planetary decline of radiation and settling of nursery gases.The circumstances and end results of clime alterationThere are exist two classs of clime change causes: regular and human-made. Presents, researchers known to mankind worried about clime change are accelerate as a result of human exercises. Characteristic clime change causes. Atmosphere on the Earth changed through impact by regular causes like orbital adjustments of the Earth, volcanic emissions, sun powered vacillations, sea flow and so on. Well of lava emissions lead to end of sulfur dioxide, residue, debris and H2O fume to the vibe, which is impact the clime by expanding planetal coefficient of reflection that causes climatic chilling. The central constituent of clime is the seas. Enormous aggregate of warmth moves over the Earth by sea flows. The ocean surface pushes on a level plane via air ebb and flow. Profound sea H2O moves in path from the shafts to the equator and movement of warm H2O over from equator to the posts. The posts would be colder and equator hotter without this H2O flow. The environmental centralization of CO2 decides by the sea H2O flow. Changes of the Earth circle: The tilt modifications of the Earth may take to close to nothing however of import clime adjustments ; more jousts prompts hotter summers and colder winters and less jousts prompts colder summer and warmer winter. This kind of little clime adjustments accordingly produce ice ages. Sun based variances: Small adjustments in close planetary system can take to atmosphere changes. Logical surveies exhibit that clime changes happened in the past by sun oriented variances. For delineation, the Little ice age between 1650 †1850 activated by sun based action diminishing. Be that as it may, sunlight based changes can non do planetary warming. Estimations, which were done in the mid 1980-s indicated that the whole entirety of sun oriented vitality making the planet diminished of 0,1 % in the period simply more than year and a half. Some of researchers attempted to happen nexus between clime modification and maculas. Sunspots are attractive tempests, which are seen dim nations on Sun. In any case, logical investigates indicated that maculas kept vitality of the Sun from go forthing its surface. Human reasons for clime adjustment. Logical grounds of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) shows that human exercises lead to atmosphere modification and impact on planetary clime. The main ground of human exercises that lead to atmosphere modification is the burning of petroleum products ( oil, coal and gas ) and deforestation. Non-renewable energy sources like oil, gas and coal are assets of vitality to deliver power, run vehicles and as a result of it the enormous whole of C dioxide, methane and azotic oxide have been discharged to the climate. The central reasons for clime change in the UK are: 4 % C transmissions from enterprises ; 7 % from agribusiness ; 21 % from transport ; 65 % from vitality produce system by the utilization of fuel. The beginnings with the greatest aggregate of transmission are transport, air travel and utilization of vitality in families. Blending to the IPCC, the three boss reasons for the nursery gases expansion are land utilization, non-renewable energy sources and agribusiness. Agribusiness has significant effect on clime adjustment by creation and discharge nursery gases. Agribusiness cause clime modification by disturbing area screen of the Earth, which prompts follow up on capacity to assimilate and mirror the warmth and noticeable radiation. The burning of petroleum products, deforestation and desertification are the central beginnings of C dioxide transmission. Deforestation prompts build up more CO2 in the feeling. We realize that trees retain CO2. Cuting down rainforest prompts expanding CO2 in the climate by 17 % . The ongoing investigation of the IPCC says that temperature on the Earth in the time of from 1906 to 2005 has expanded by 0.74A °C and temperature are keep on expanding. The mean temperature of the Earth is 14 A °C. In occasion of regular nurseries outcome did n't be, the mean temperature would be short 19A °C. A grouping of gases causes nursery outcome. The significant part for it makes H2O bluess. CO2 †trailed by H2O bluess, causes the substance of nursery gases in the climate. Current convergence of CO2 in the climate is 385 ppm. Before of the industrialization, it was †280 ppm. Air examination from ice top of the Antarctic demonstrated that air contained CO2 more than rest of gases and than in the all time of 650000 old ages.Consequence of clime alterationNowadays individuals can recognize impacts of planetary clime change on mood, human health, agribusiness, financial and so on. Ice on lakes and waterways hindering up prior, icy masses have been contracted, trees blossoming prior, a few kinds of invigorate creatures and workss are moved. Atmosphere modification impacts were anticipated by researchers in the days gone by, which is go oning: ocean degree rises quicker and more, ocean ice is misfortune, increasingly extreme warmth moving edges. Researchers somewhat certain about lifting planetary temperatures for decennaries, which have been brought about by nursery gases from human †made exercises. Blending to the IPCC, clime change outcome will be shift in certain parts over clasp, which is rely upon the capacities of natural and cultural frameworks for variant and extenuation for adjustments. IPCC says that lifting of planetary temperature by 1-3A °C in contrasting and 1990 will result gainfully on certain parts and adversely on others. These conditions will outcome financial situation of states as great. Some of planetary clime change impacts on parts are following:Europe Risk of inland immersions are expanding, seaside implosion treatment and dissolving from immersions are expanding and ocean degree is lifting, snow screen and winter touristry is diminished, icy masses in mountain nation is withdraws, reap productiveness decline in southern EuropeAsia In south, east, sou'- east and cardinal Asia anticipated diminishing of new H2O by the 2050, waterfront nations under expanding danger of implosion treatment, along these lines perish rate from immersions and drouths can be expanded in some parts.Africa Water accentuation making a trip to be expanded by 2020, yields from downpour took care of agribusiness in certain parts can be decreased by up to 50 % by 2020, severely effect can be on agribusiness production.North America In the western heaps of North America snowpack is reducing and in this way, yield

Differences Between Bipolar Disorder and BPD

Differences Between Bipolar Disorder and BPD BPD Related Conditions Print Differences Between Bipolar Disorder and BPD By Kristalyn Salters-Pedneault, PhD Kristalyn Salters-Pedneault, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and associate professor of psychology at Eastern Connecticut State University. Learn about our editorial policy Kristalyn Salters-Pedneault, PhD Medically reviewed by Updated on February 18, 2020 Arief Juwono/Moment/Getty Images More in BPD Related Conditions Diagnosis Treatment Living With BPD Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has been a controversial diagnosis since it was first recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980. One controversy that still has not been resolved is whether or not BPD is related to  bipolar disorder since they have many similar symptoms. How Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Are Similar The primary reason that some experts have proposed that BPD and bipolar disorder may be related is that they share the common feature of mood instability. Bipolar disorder is associated with mood shifts from depression to mania, a mood characterized by elation, a decreased need for sleep  and an increase in activity, or hypomania, which is similar to mania but less severe. BPD is also associated with mood changes, sometimes called emotional dysregulation  or affective instability. People with BPD can frequently change from feeling fine to feeling extremely distressed in a matter of minutes. Impulsive behavior is also frequently experienced both by people with bipolar disorder and by people with BPD. The Truth About BPD How Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Are Different What is the difference between BPD and bipolar disorder, then? Some major components separate the two. Quality: While the disorders are both characterized by mood changes, the quality of the mood changes can be very different. People with bipolar disorder tend to experience mania and depression while people with BPD experience intense emotional pain and feelings of emptiness, desperation, anger, hopelessness, and loneliness.Time:  In BPD, mood changes are often more short-lived. They may last for only a few hours at a time. In contrast, mood changes in bipolar disorder tend to last for days or even weeks.Cause: Mood shifts in BPD are usually in reaction to an environmental stressor, such as an argument with a loved one, whereas mood shifts in bipolar disorder may occur out-of-the-blue.Degree: The mood shifts typical of BPD rarely involve elation. Usually, the shift is from feeling upset to feeling OK, not from feeling bad to feeling a high or elevated mood, which is more typical of bipolar disorder. Are Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Related? Although it is not yet clear-cut, research has not found a strong relationship between BPD and bipolar disorder. There is some evidence that people with BPD are diagnosed with bipolar disorder at higher rates than individuals with other personality disorders. One study found that about 20% of people with BPD are also diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Only about 10% of people with other personality disorders also have a bipolar disorder diagnosis. Another study looked at people diagnosed with both BPD and bipolar disorder within a 10-year timeframe. The results showed that the disorders appear to be completely independent. The studys authors stressed that its extremely important to treat each disorder individually for the best chance of symptom relief. The Bottom Line So far, there is not enough research to suggest that BPD and bipolar disorder are related. Although there are definitely some shared features, there are also some marked differences between BPD and bipolar disorder. Also, the co-occurrence of BPD and bipolar disorder is not large enough to suggest that the two disorders are related. However, more research is needed on this topic. It may be that future research, for example, on the genetic and biological causes of BPD and bipolar disorder, may reveal some undiscovered relationships between the two conditions.

My Capstone Project Is A Set Of Five Free Verse Poems

My Capstone project is a set of five free-verse poems that include one of my own experiences as an Asian immigrant. Poems are a way to express and convey a thought or belief into short, original, and creative literature. In my DOC capstone, I chose to write a couple free-verse poems from different point of views and of different racial views. Using five different races, I depicted the hardships of the time in order to display a creative point of view of the minority groups in the United States. Utilizing DOC terms, there will be deep analyses of intersectionality, dominant ideology, racial formation, emergent ideologies, and residual ideologies. The main purpose of my project is to provide the true hardships many races suffer due to the emergent, dominant and residual ideologies of white supremacy, struggles of immigration, and the struggles of racial formation. In the first verse, I convey to the readers that when hegemonic ideals, what people consider common sense on how to act or think towards a certain idea, become negative and violent, such as white supremacy, towards a race, it becomes extremely threatening and disturbing. Throughout United States’ history, the violence and struggles the African Americans experience are universally known. In the first verse of the poem, I put the point of view as an African American child. In the United States, there have been many forms of racial violence and hatred, especially with the United States being a strongly white

Obesity The Weight Of The Nation - 897 Words

According to the media article, Whose Fault is our Fat? Obesity solely stems from Americans not participating in enough physical activity. On the other hand, Family Stressors and Child Obesity, attributes the stem of childhood obesity to stressors, particularly family stressors.

Beowulf Essay Free Essays

English 1001 Beowulf Essay The element of religious tension is common in Anglo-Saxon writings, but a pagan story with a Christian narrator is unusual. â€Å"Much of the poem’s narrative intervention reveals that the poet’s culture was different from that of his ancestors† and also that of his characters (Watson). There are many different perceptions to the reasons why the author wrote Beowulf. We will write a custom essay sample on Beowulf Essay or any similar topic only for you Order Now The best answer, in my opinion, was that the author was creating a magical and intriguing story that had an underlying theme to it. Christianity was a newly introduced religion to the western Europeans at the time and I believe that someone would have written about it, or at least the conflicts that came with it. This is just a background in which time period the story was told, even more evidence to this interpretation is buried in the actual text. Though still an old pagan story, Beowulf was told by a Christian poet. People believe the epic Beowulf is a story full of pagan tradition. However, Beowulf is really a Christian-based story, in which Christianity prevails. Nature is accommodating; death and fate are controllable; man can reconcile with the world; and the main character, a hero and representative of good, triumphs over evil and does not fail in the end† (Perrello). The way the author incorporated many side notes, of what seemed to be other tales told at the time that may not have ever been saved like this one, was an amazing mystery for our present day historians to try and solve. The beginning o f the story is where we find our first sign of Christianity, as the poem goes, â€Å"Afterward a boy-child was born to Shield, a cub in the yard, a comfort sent by God to that nation† (Beowulf 12-14). This child was a blessing for this tribe and was the uprising of their downfall and this is where we see that first conflict between the Heroic Code and Christianity. Complete polar opposites are the two, favoring blood- shed and vengeance, family, and praising the king who led them into battle. Christianity on the other hand is all about showing one another kindness and grace. There must have been confusion when these tribes were first introduced to this way of life. But the more and more these stories of God were told, people’s lives changed and they started to be moved. It’s the idea of God being the creator of the earth that we see next, â€Å"the clear song of a skilled poet telling with mastery of man’s beginnings, how the Almighty had made the earth a gleaming plain girdled with waters† (Beowulf 90-93). Aside from showing that God was creator of all earth, we find that repentance is taking place, â€Å"But blessed is he who after death can approach the Lord and find friendship in the Father’s embrace† (Beowulf 186-188). They were unfamiliar with the Lord and had their many other gods to go to, to seek help for different things. Then they started seeking help from the Lord, who in return gives them calm waters to safely travel back home and the people are extremely grateful and moved by his presence in their lives. In the end, there was a great purpose behind the composition of this difficult and complex storyline. It was in a time of life where everything was done the people’s way. They were reluctant at first when hearing about God but soon saw what he was capable of and ended up following him. Beowulf’s claim to kingship is a matter of his military prowess as much as it is by birth. We also learn that what we consider virtues today were not considered at the time. Celibacy, or even monogamy was not of any interest to the Anglo Saxons. It was very acceptable for warriors to have relationships with multiple partners. Also, humility and modesty was seen as a flaw. Not only were heroes expected to be physically brave, strong, and victorious, they were expected to brag about it. A warrior was meant to succeed. Not only to win, but to triumph. The ideal was to have one’s stories live on in epic poems, and the only way to assure that was to make sure people knew of one’s deeds. It also suggests a bit of the Anglo-Saxon structure. The fact that â€Å"the main action occurs in the Mead Hall, and that people sleep there, shows the importance of this central building† (Bloom). The Beowulf that we read today is unlike the Beowulf with which the first Anglo-Saxon audiences were familiar. Beowulf can be considered â€Å"one of the most compelling stories in the English language†, and most certainly is considered the first English masterpiece to be written (Bloom). â€Å"Originally the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian invaders experienced a large-scale conversion to Christianity at the end of the sixth century† (Perrello). Beowulf is a hero, representing courage, concern for his own people as well as foreign people, and pride. However, this novel shows a lot of controversy. Beowulf is filled with Christian teachings, culture, and pagan tradition. The values of the Anglo-Saxons were mainly their faith and their success as a warrior. In Beowulf, warriors were expected to create a self-image of fame. Being a warrior required winning. You had to die an honorable death if you were the loser. Only the best warriors went to Valhalla. They always thought God was in control of fate and nobody can change it because all the decisions have been made. The values of the Anglo-Saxon people didn’t vary along a wide range. They all believed in the same thing, thought the same thing, honored the same people, and stood for who they were as people. â€Å"Nature is accommodating, and the forces of death are controllable. Fate is neither blind, nor random in its choice of victims; rather, fate is likewise dependent on certain criteria, such as the character of the person whom is experiencing fate† (Johnson 18). Their destiny was chosen for them by God and there was nothing they could do to change that. Beowulf follows the virtues most important to the Anglo-Saxon culture being as their religion, militaristic nature, and values. Beowulf is also a prime example of an Anglo-Saxon literary work. â€Å"The Anglo-Saxon era was defined by a heroic code found in the people of that culture† (Johnson 19). This was exemplified through qualities such as bravery, honor, and strength. In Beowulf, the character of Beowulf depicts an Anglo-Saxon warrior traveling lands and fighting fierce monsters to glorify himself and achieve his ultimate goal of fame. Works Cited â€Å"Beowulf†.

The Last Hippie Summary free essay sample

The subjects name was Greg. He was born and raised in Queens, New York to a professional family. His greatest passion in life was music, and more specifically The Grateful Dead. As years went on Greg became defiant and started using drugs. Mainly, he enjoyed taking acid. Eventually, Greg left home to join the Krisha Hare. Greg started to complain of dimming eyesight, but the people of the Krishna Hare church only attributed it to his growing inner light. Eventually, Gregs parents came to visit him after some years and were mortified to see that their son was not only fat and bald, but now he was completely blind. Greg was soon admitted to Williamsbridge hospital where it was discovered that a benign tumor had grown large enough to damage his the frontal lobe of his brain.

In one instance, in an eager attempt to teach him how to read braille, Greg was emotionally distressed when he thought others thought he was blind because he â€Å"obviously wasn’t†. Dr. Sacks also writes how Greg would â€Å"watch television†, but facing the opposite wall. Possibly the greatest struggle for Dr. Sacks, while treating Greg, was his inability to retain learned information. Greg could remember things from the sixties so vividly, but could not remember a short melody that Sacks would play for him only a few minutes prior. His short-term memory was completely lost with the damage to his frontal lobe. At the end of Sacks writings about Greg, he tells the story about how he took Greg to his most beloved Grateful Dead show at MSG. The next day when Sacks mentions The Garden to Greg, he promptly responds with Ive never been to the Garden making this study both paradoxical and dismal. References: Sacks, Oliver, and A. Freeman.
