Alice Walker's writing style was greatly influenced by her life experiences as an African American woman. She grew up in poverty in a racist environment in the early 1900s. She was blinded in one eye as a child in an accident. Her works focused on bringing attention to the struggles of African American women and fighting for their rights during a time when they had few rights and were often treated as inferior. Her most famous work, The Color Purple, drew from these experiences and used her writing to give voice to those who were not heard. Overall, Walker's writings illuminated the hardships of African American women and helped advance the civil rights movement through her themes of heritage, identity, and social justice.

Death of a salesman By Arthur Miller - Canan Kaplan-
油
Arthur Miller's 1949 play Death of a Salesman explores the life of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman living in Brooklyn in the 1940s. The play uses a nonlinear structure to depict both Willy's present and memories of the past simultaneously. Willy is struggling financially and emotionally as capitalism has changed and the American Dream of success through personality has proven unrealistic. Willy's failure to provide for his family and his mental deterioration call into question whether the failure lies with Willy himself or with society's unreasonable standards and values. The play was hugely influential in establishing a new style of drama that blended realism and expressionism.The color purple

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was a leader of Romantic poetry. He divided imagination into primary and secondary forms. Primary imagination is a creative faculty possessed by all, while secondary imagination is the conscious, creative power of poets. Coleridge believed the purpose of poetry was to give pleasure, and defined a poem as having organic unity and seeking to produce immediate pleasure in readers through the willing suspension of disbelief. He saw imagination as the key distinguishing factor of a true poet.The Caretaker by Harold Pinter

Some key characteristics include: naturalism as shown through Ibsen's A Doll's House depicting the domination of women; absurdism through Synge's Playboy of the Western World where people accept absurd things; and realism in Albee's The Zoo Story about how civilization makes people introverted.

Matthew Arnold's essay criticizes poetry and criticism. He argues that poetry will provide enduring comfort through its ideas. Arnold proposes evaluating poetry through "real," "historic," and "personal" estimates. The "real estimate" judges poetry objectively based on creative merit, while the "historic estimate" prioritizes historical context over artistic value. The "personal estimate" relies on subjective tastes. Arnold advocates the "touchstone method" of comparing works to classics like Homer, Dante and Shakespeare to assess poetic quality. He analyses various poets like Chaucer, Dryden and Pope through this framework.The Literary Works Of Alice Walkerpdf

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.Computer Application in Business (commerce)
