Lady Macbeth advises her husband to "Look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under it." What are examples of things in the modern world...

1. Relationships can often present themselves as
metaphorical "innocent flowers," even though they are really "serpents."
Significant others can initially present themselves as amiable, relatable, honest individuals,
but turn out to be malevolent, dishonest, capricious people. Marriages can end in divorce
because people initially view their significant others as "innocent flowers" but
discover that they are actually harmful "serpents."


2. Business partners can also present themselves as
"innocent flowers," even though they are really "serpents." Business
partners may be shady and present themselves as legitimate partners while they attempt to steal
money or defraud the company.

3. Business deals
or contracts can also present themselves as "innocent flowers" and actually be
"serpents." Individuals...

What is the role of information systems in business?

A successful
business has the need to know.  It needs to know where its revenues come from and how to
increase them;  it needs to know how its money is being spent, ways to save money, and how to
cut costs if necessary;  it needs to know if it's making a profit and how to utilize its
resources efficiently; it needs to be able to hire a sufficient workforce, encourage that
workforce to perform through incentives and motivational tools; and it needs to promote the
company's products and services through clever marketing and advertising tactics.


In today's technological world, all this is accomplished through the company's
information systems, computer-based software and hardware that enables recording, storage, and
retrieval of pertinent data.  Most all companies have multiple computers networked together for
the sharing of data and for efficient operational capabilities.  In addition, most all have
their own technical support team and software programmers to insure all systems are running as
they should.

In retrospect, a modern day company cannot operate properly
without well-organized, well-managed, and efficient information systems.

Was Napoleon a child of the French Revolution or the absolute antithesis of it?

Indeed,
Napoleon was a "child" of the Revolution. For one, he benefited tremendously from the
meritocratic principles it embodied and the social disruption it created. An artillery officer
in the French Army, he rose the ranks rapidly in the early Revolutionary era and became a
general at a very young age. And yet, as much as his career was born out of the spirit of the
Revolution, he also came to represent principles antithetical to it.

This
first became apparent in the decisive street battle of the 13 Vend©miaire, where he used
artillery to diminish the threat of a radical armed Revolutionary force on behalf of the more
conservative (and even royalist) forces who would come to form the Directory. It is said he
wiped out the Revolutionary threat with a "whiff of grapeshot."


After this Napoleon's power only increased. He led an expeditionary and military campaign to
Egypt in 1798 and finally seized power from the Directory in 1799, becoming emperor or first
consul for life in 1802....

How are these listed from smallest to largest? atoms, cell organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems

The
question requires you to arrange the given items in ascending order, according to the size of
the items (I am assuming since the criteria for smallest to largest is not given).


The provided details will help you to formulate an answer to the given
question.

An atom is the smallest item among the given items. Some examples
of atoms include sodium, iron, carbon, oxygen, etc. Organelle can be thought of as body parts of
a cell. Some examples of cell organelle include the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, etc.
The organelles will constitute a cell, just as our body is made up of various parts. A group of
cells working together form a tissue. Similarly, a group of tissue performing similar functions
constitutes an organ. For example, muscle tissues make up our heart, which is an organ. Muscle
tissues themselves are made up of muscle cells. Organs working towards a common goal (or purpose
or function) constitute an organ system. The cardiovascular system is an example of an organ
system and consists of heart, blood vessels, etc.

What are some literary devices being used in Act 3, Scene 4 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?

Scene IV in
Act III, is actually a good example of a scene that is very heavily written in prose. As a
result, we don't see Shakespeare using too many literary devices to enhance this scene, but
there are a couple, especially rhetorical literary devices, such asand
assonance.

A parallel structure known as
antithesis can be seen in 's line, "These times of woe afford
no tune to woo" (8). Antithesis is used to express opposing ideas in one balanced sentence
(Wheeler, "Schemes"). Since "woe," or sorrow is the exact opposite of
"wooing," or courtship, this line portrays an antithetical argument through parallel
sentence structure.

Antithesis can also be seen
in Capulet's lines, "I think she will be rul'd in all respects by me; nay more, I doubt it
not" (13-14). A real contrast can be seen between the phrase "I think" and
"I doubt it not." Not having any doubts is the exact antithesis of only thinking, or
believing, something to be true, hence, these lines are another example of antithetical .


Assonance can also be seen in Capulet's lines,
"We'll keep no great ado--a friend or two; / For hark you..." (24-25). Assonance can
be seen in the repetition of the vowel sound "o" in the words "no,"
"ado," "two," and then again in "you."
Assonance can further be seen in the phrases, "half a dozen
friends, / And there an end," with the repetition of the vowel "e" sound followed
by the "n" sound.

Explain David Humes reasons for thinking that there could be other causes for design in nature besides God and say what they are.

In his Dialogues Concerning Natural
, David Hume has one of the participants, Philo, critique the idea of the creator God
who made the world. Philo argues that whatever it was that designed the world, it is very
different from the God worshipped by Christians or adherents of other religions. We arrive at
this conclusion by examining the world and speculating from what we observe the kind of creator
that would have made it. At the most basic level, Philo argues that monotheism is
ill-founded:

A great many men join together to build a
house or ship, to found and develop a city, to create a commonwealth; why couldnt several gods
combine in designing and making a world? This would only serve to make divine activities more
like human ones.

Philo goes on to argue that this
cooperative polytheism would do away with the need to regard any one being as omnipotent or
omniscient, claims for which there is no evidence and which seem to be contradicted by the
nature of the world around us. Also, since even flawed human beings are capable of cooperation,
why should we not attribute this capacity to the divine?

Philo says that if
we are to judge the creator of the world by what he has produced, we must allow that this
creator is neither omnipotent nor omniscient. Again, he draws anfrom men building a
house:

If I showed you a house or palace where there was
not one convenient or agreeable apartment, where the windows, doors, fireplaces, passages,
stairs, and the whole arrangement of the building were the source of noise, confusion, fatigue,
darkness, and the extremes of heat and cold, you would certainly blame the planning of the
building without any further examination.

Hume's
argument, therefore, is not so much that there are other causes of design or even other
designers instead of God, but that any designer we infer from the observable facts would be
entirely unlike the God described by Christians. This designer would probably consist of many
beings, none of them infinitely (or even especially) wise or good. Moreover, since everything we
see around us is finite and the beings we observe are corporeal, there is no reason to think
that the designer(s) of all this would be infinite and incorporeal.

I need one song that relates to power and has figurative language in it.

I went
with the idea that music is a form of poetry, and coupled with the use of figurative language,
moved this question to the " " group.  In reflecting on this, I would use a song from
U2 that talks about the abuse of power.  Off of their album, "The Joshua Tree," check
out the track, "Mothers of the Disappeared."  While there are different
interpretations of it, the song is about...
