character

Examples of character in the following topics:

• Building Credibility

  • Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion.
  • You can not dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
  • Greek philosopher Heraclitus's famous maxim, "Character is destiny," has echoed through the ages: if you want to win the audience's trust, you must demonstrate that you are a person of character.
  • Froude takes the colloquial idea of "building character" one step further, leading us to imagine a laborious undertaking in a blacksmith's forge, shaping "character" with a hammer.
  • List ways to display personal character in order to build credibility with an audience

• Ionic vs Covalent Bond Character

  • All bonding interactions have some covalent character because the electron density remains shared between the atoms.
  • The degree of ionic versus covalent character of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the constituent atoms.
  • Bonds that fall in between the two extremes, having both ionic and covalent character, are classified as polar covalent bonds.
  • Though ionic and covalent character represent points along a continuum, these designations are frequently useful in understanding and comparing the macroscopic properties of ionic and covalent compounds.

• Literary Naturalism

  • Naturalism was a literary movement that used realism to explore the effects of heredity and social environment on human character.
  • They believed that heredity and social environment largely determine one's character.
  • He argued that his innovation in fiction-writing was the creation of characters and plots based on this method.
  • Additionally, detachment is sometimes achieved by creating nameless characters to direct the focus to the plot and what happens to the character, as opposed to the characters themselves.
  • For determinism, the idea that individual characters have a direct influence on the course of their lives is supplanted by a focus on nature or fate.

• Dot plots and the mean

  • To find the mean number of characters in the 50 emails, we add up all the character counts and divide by the number of emails.
  • For computational convenience, the number of characters is listed in the thousands and rounded to the first decimal.
  • The average number of characters across all emails can be estimated using the sample data.
  • Based on the sample of 50 emails, what would be a reasonable estimate of , the mean number of characters in all emails in the email data set?
  • 1.20: x1 corresponds to the number of characters in the first email in the sample (21.7, in thousands), x2 to the number of characters in the second email (7.0, in thousands), and xi corresponds to the number of characters in the fifth email in the data set.

• Motif

  • A leitmotif (whether it is a very short cell or a long phrase) is associated with a particular character, place, thing, or idea in the opera and may be heard whenever that character is on stage or that idea is an important part of the plot.
  • For example, the same melody may sound quite different depending on whether the character is in love, being heroic, or dying.

• Management: the meta profession

  • An occupation for which the necessary preliminary training is intellectual in character, involving knowledge and to some extent learning, as distinguished from mere skill; which is pursued largely for others, and not merely for one's own self; and in which the financial return is not the accepted measure of success.
  • Brandeis' intuition about the decisive character of business management for human welfare has been borne out across the tortured years of this past century.
  • His argument, however, that business management was essentially professional in character is debated still.
  • A profession is an occupation for which the necessary preliminary training is intellectual in character, involving knowledge and to some extent learning, as distinguished from mere skill.

• Classical Greek Theater

  • Finally, the use of a chorus was minimized in favor of a monody sung by the characters.
  • Another novelty introduced by Euripidean drama is the realism with which characters’ psychological dynamics are portrayed.
  • Stock characters also were employed during this period.
  • The playwrights of Greek New Comedy built upon the devices, characters, and situations their predecessors had developed.
  • Gods and goddesses were, at best, personified abstractions rather than actual characters, and no miracles or metamorphoses occurred.

• Salt Formation

  • In the case of alkali metal hydroxides and simple amines (or ammonia) the resulting salts have pronounced ionic character and are usually soluble in water.
  • Heavy metals such as silver, mercury and lead form salts having more covalent character (3rd example), and the water solubility is reduced, especially for acids composed of four or more carbon atoms.

• Gender Messages in Mass Media

  • They are often portrayed as wives or mothers, rather than as main characters.
  • Research indicates that among the 101 top-grossing, G-rated movies released between 1990 and 2005, three out of every four characters were male.
  • Out of those movies, only seven films were even close to having a balanced cast of characters, with a ratio of less than 1.5 male characters per 1 female character.

• Percent Ionic Character and Bond Angle

  • Think of this skewing's magnitude as the percent ionic character of a bond; to determine the percent ionic character, one must look at the electronegativities of the atoms involved and determine how effective the electron sharing is between the species.
  • The more ionic character there is to a bond, the more likely that non-directional electrostatic interactions are holding the atoms together.
