Cycy shifts herself in the tiny room towards a music player. She clicks the power button on, twists the volume knob up, and a beautiful piano medley flows out of the speakers.

As she is sitting at her desk, lightly twirling on her office seat, her eyes went wide open, left eyebrow went up and the other went down; she leans her head up with her ears towards the speakers. The volume increase and the voice in the speakers

Hemingway also uses allegorical conditions to fully elaborate on the history of the couple’s interactions. The couple is waiting for their train so they take in their surroundings and get drinks without a second thought. The woman notices this and asks “That's all we do, isn't it—look at things and try…drinks? (124)" Her comment indicates that their relationship has no real substance besides alcohol and instead of actually interacting with one another they would rather avoid it by drinking. This

for her to have an abortion. Because abortion is currently illegal, the couple must move to another country to terminate the pregnancy. In “Hills Like White Elephants,” the author uses symbolism in many aspects including the train station, the land surrounding the station, the talk about white elephants, and even in the alcohol they drink. The couple is sitting at a train junction, which symbolizes the choice that Jig and the man have to make. Author Doris Lanier states in her article that the “railroad

Ford Pinto Case Study and Engineering Ethics The first Fundamental Canon of the NSPE code of ethics demands engineers to advocate the welfare of the public and avert transgressions of safety and health. In the 1970's, the engineers who tested the rear-end crash tests of Pinto prototype models realized that the vehicle's safety standard was only acceptable to the more lenient current regulations for safety requirements in rear-end collisions. But, the vehicle could not pass the higher and upcoming

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration immediately recalled all vehicles and Ford modified their design to reduce hazard. Legal action arose from this topic, the two biggest cases are Grimshaw vs. Ford Motor Company and State of Indiana vs. Ford Motor

De George argues that the Ford engineers involved in the design of the Pinto had no obligation to blow the whistle. In this paper, I will argue that De George’s argument succeeds. I will begin by stating De George’s argument. Then I’ll argue two of his criteria that back his argument are true. I’ll then consider and evaluate possible counter arguments and show why they fail. De George argument is as follows. The Ford engineers working on the Pinto weren’t obligated to blow the whistle because they

Ernest Hemingway’s short story “Hills Like White Elephants” relays a conversation between an American man and his lover named Jig concerning her decision of whether to have an abortion.
