Take a position: Product functionality is the key to brand success versus product design is the key to brand success. The form versus function...

In many
products, form and function complement each other. Take the example of a fast car like a
Ferrari. The car is designed to be aerodynamic and reduce drag as one speeds down the road.
Thats why it accelerates faster than most cars. The sleek body design contributes to the cars
functionality. Another example is that of modern phones. Nowadays, smartphone manufacturers are
focused on creating products with two to three cameras because they believe that is what the
market wants. The manufacturers cant just put the cameras anywhere, they have to make sure that
design and function complement each other if they want to sell their products. However, if I
have to choose between the two, I would go for design over functionality.



If you want your brand to stand out in a competitive market, you have to
make sure that it has a unique design. We live in a society thats obsessed with image and
beauty. Thats why social media sites like Instagram and Snap Chat are so popular.

Explain three unities related to Oedipus Rex.

The unities of time, place, and action were derived from Aristotle's
Poetics by an Italian theorist, Lodovico Castelvetro, in 1570.


In Poetics, Aristotle proposes the unities of time and action
(unity of place isn't mentioned in Poetics) as guidelines rather than
actual rules, which are based on what Aristotle observed in Greek tragic playsnot what he
intended to impose on the writing of tragic plays. Castelvetro and French classical playwrights
like Pierre Corneille, Jean Racine and Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (better known as Moli¨re)
interpreted these observations as requirements and adhered to these unities in their
plays.

According to Castelvetro, the unity of time imposed a twenty-four hour
time limit on the action of the play, the unity of place meant that the action of the play
should occur in a single location, and the action of the play be restricted to a single, unified
plot line:

endeavors, as far as possible, to confine
itself to a single revolution of the sun, or but...

What are the similarities and differences between Augustine and Aquinas when it comes to faith and reason?

In a
sense, both of these theologians are on the same side of the debates over faith and reason. In
antiquity, there was a major controversy over whether secular learning was of any value to the
Christian, famously expressed in Tertullian's question "What has Athens to do with
Jerusalem?". 

Augustine's response in De Doctrina
Christiana
was to use theof the gold the Jews took from Egypt. He argues that pagan
learning, like the Egyptian gold, could be put to good use. The study of grammar, ars
recte loquendi et enarratio poetarum
 (the art of correct speech and interpreting
texts), was needed for reading the Bible, and other elements of the seven liberal arts were
useful in interpreting the literal meaning of the Bible.was important for Christian preachers;
although faith and a morally good life were essential for preachers, skill in speaking was
necessary to inspire an audience. In the Middle Ages, the phrase "Egyptian gold" was
frequently used in discussions about the...

How does Steinbeck use the character of Crooks in the novel as a whole to convey ideas about America in the 1930s? How would you write the...

Crooks is
an interesting character because he offers Steinbeck a way to examine racism in his account of
oppressed workers in the 1930s.

Crooks is only known by his nickname, which
refers to his crooked back, the result of being kicked by a horse. Through Crooks, we see how
racist the other ranch hands are.

Crooks has to sleep by himself in the
harness room off the stable. Unlike the other ranch hands, he has only a box of straw, rather
than a bunk bed. The other hands don't want him in the bunk house because they think he stinks.
He is often left out of their activities, such as playing cards, and has learned to deal with
his loneliness through reading.

As we see whenpops into his room, Crooks is
intelligent man with a strong sense of dignity. He is embittered by what people have put him
through, but he warms up a bit to Lennie. He becomes excited for a moment at the idea of
participating in the dream of the farm, but he soon realizes that such a dream is not open to a
black man.

To what degree were the U.S., Great Britain, Germany, the USSR, and Japan successful in regards to their efforts in economic mobilization during the...

This is an enormous question that can't really be answered fully in this small space. But a few generalizations can be made. Bo...
