Comparison of UK Building Contracts

Correlation of UK Building Contracts Appraisal: Terms of Contract; Critical Evaluation; Question standard practice Samuel Perkins Presentation This task plans to thoroughly analyze the different parts of both the SBC/Q 2011 Standard Building Contract against the NEC 3 Engineering and Construction Contract: estimated with Bill of Quantities 2013. All through the task I will condense these to SBC/Q 2011 and NEC3. I mean to assess the records associated with the creation of the agreements (10%/350 words), the jobs of those engaged with the exhibition of the agreement (20%/700 words) , the Contractors duty towards the structure (20%/700 words) lastly focusing on the installment part of each agreement (half/1750 words). The agreements will be evaluated in regards to updates made in September 2011 to the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. My assertion check will incorporate the previously mentioned territories not surpassing the 3500 words as required. Archives Making up the Contracts In the SBC/Q 2011 agreement under arrangements, the agreement archives are characterized in condition 1.1. The issue with this is the agreement total investigation and any calendar of rates are subject to the individual party and can subsequently not be considered as agreement reports under this condition. For the business this would imply that the primary, obligation regarding the right depictions and amounts would be set upon them alleviating dangers for the temporary worker. Concerning disparities inside the agreement reports it is the duty of the Contractor to educate the Architect regarding any distinctions, anyway it ought to be noticed that they are under no commitment to openly look for any inconsistencies. However under condition 2.15 it expresses that if the temporary worker gets mindful of any such flight, blunder, exclusion or insufficiency as alluded to in statement 2.14 that he will promptly pull out with proper subtleties to the Architect/Contract Administrator, who wi ll give guidelines in such manner. The disparities are identified with things found in condition 2.15(1,2,3,4,5) which spread the agreement drawings, contract charges, guidelines gave by the planner of agreement director lastly the CDP reports. From the above we can see that SBC/Q 2011 demonstrates a sensible comprehension to recognizing contract records. The fundamental distinction between the NEC3 and SBC/Q 2011 is that the NEC3 record doesnt characterize the term Contract, along these lines there is no characterizing agreement archives dissimilar to SBC/Q 2011. It battles this inside the direction notes giving examples concerning a standard type of delicate and type of understanding subbing themselves for genuine agreement reports. In the Core Clauses 12.4 it expresses that the agreement is the whole understanding between the gatherings in this manner joining the recently referenced systems including the undertaking the board and authoritative obligations, liabilities and commitments. As examined by Eggleston (2006) the term whole understanding has no legitimately perceptible definition anyway the term whole agreement which is otherwise called a sole understanding provision does. Along these lines the agreement must be finished to the composed terms and conditions, this barring any suggested terms of custom-based law cures this ide ntifying with any enactment made by parliament as noted in (Galbraith, 2014). Like SC/Q 2011, NEC3 makes arrangements in regards to any errors and logical inconsistencies between contract records in Core Clause 17.1 anyway is considerably less unmistakable and obvious in its definitions and clearness. The Clause expresses that The Project Manager or the Contractor informs the different when either gets mindful of an equivocalness or irregularity in or between the records which are a piece of this agreement. The Project Manager gives a guidance settling the vagueness or irregularity. Anyway this conflicts with Core Clauses in particular 12.3 and 18.1 which would then propose that the duty to report irregularities lies exclusively with the Project Manager. Jobs engaged with the exhibition of the agreement The JCT contracts require the Architect to go about as the Contract Administrator concerning execution of the agreement for the benefit of the business. Under SBC/Q2011 the job of the draftsmen communicated obligations is canvassed in conditions 2.8 (1.2.3.4), 2.9, 2.11 and 2.12. These range from guaranteeing reports are provided to the Contractor in agreement to the discharge calendar and introductory agreement records to releasing the agreement. As these are commitments of the planner they are consequently legitimately responsible for the region of agreement organization. Given the Architects proficient position and experience it is there obligation to guarantee the agreement is completed under the suggested terms of precedent-based law and to the terms and states of the agreement, it is pivotal that the Architect remains fair when deciding. SBC/Q2011 states under condition 2.4 that it is the obligation of the Contractor to proceed with the work all the time and mindfully and have the works wrapped up by the concurred finish date. The work should advance consistently and in understanding to the agreement concerning time as noted in (Chappell 2012). In the event that the Contractor is to make a break of obligation in regard of non-execution (not incomplete execution) of the agreement would bring about complete negligence to the agreement terms and conditions which would cause absolute non-execution. Arrangements are made to non-execution with respect to the businesses in conditions 8.4, 8.5 and 8.7 which ensures the Contractors consistent progression of works in case of unusual conditions postponing works and the amendment of imperfection works. Not at all like SBC/Q 2011, NEC3 doesn't make reference to the Architect under any of its provisions which expels any setting of the Architects inclusion. Under Core statement 10.1 it specifies that the legitimate changes and understandings and between the Employer and Contractor and in this way the Project Manager and Supervisor. The arrangement of NEC3 states that the relationship of the Employer is to be connected in regards to their interest inside the jobs of the agreement organization and are in this way a legitimate element. The Project Manager only has power to change the work data, including issues and releasing any works guidance which is all expressed under Core provisos 14.3 and 27.3. Accordingly the Project Manager is going about as the Employers Agent , permitting them to have a more prominent impact in choices, which contrasts SBCQ/2011 whereby the Architect of Contract Administrator is progressively free and acts in power. It is crucial that the designated Project Manager under NEC3 be it a solitary individual or firm is skillful and proficient so as to accomplish fruitful consummation of the works and the agreement because of the wide-running obligations and commitments they are appointed. The Project administrator and Supervisor can appoint attempts to other staff individuals so as to complete their obligations. This is noted under Core provision 14.2 in any case, before this should be possible the Contractor must be advised of what activities every individual from staff has been alloted. NEC3 likewise varies dynamically from SBC/Q2011 in its absence of communicated terms expressing the Contractors commitment to proceed with the works consistently. Subsequently it depends on the arrangements of Core proviso 20.1 which express the Contractor is to Provide the functions as characterized in condition 11.2(3) alongside disciplinary methodology that corner any postponements to key dates, harms as well as the installments plot. It is critical to take note of that NEC3 has no arrangements in any of its Clauses that worries any communicated terms that express the Project Manager ought to be impartial and equivalent, as referenced above they are adequately going about as the Employers Agent. Along these lines any worries with respect to the issues of fair-minded and impartial agreement organization is an inferred obligation and ought to accordingly be directed by the suggested terms of custom-based law cures as showed in Constain Ltd and Others [Corber] v Bechtel Ltd Anor [2005]. The Contractors Responsibility for Design As to obligation of the plan perspective the Contractor ought to have no contribution, aside from on the off chance that it has plainly been mentioned and characterized inside the agreement reports under the boundary of the Contractors structure duty Chappell (2012). It is likewise worth referencing that the term configuration ought to be utilized comprehensively and ought to likewise include drawings as well as any composed reports identifying with the Contractors configuration extent for instance details and timetables of work. Lupton and Cornes (2013) The SBC/Q 2011 has recently required an extra enhancement which is given through the Contractors structured extent part of the agreement. With the Contractors configuration extent the business will at that point set up their necessities known as the Employers Requirements, which is made from the presentation detail that therefore then permits the Contractor to plan and present their proposition known as the Contractors Proposals. These are required while making the agreement reports and in this manner the agreement entirety. Under provision 2.13.2 it expresses that the Contractor will not be answerable for the substance of the Employers prerequisites or for checking the sufficiency of any structure contained inside them. Besides under condition 2.2 named Contractors Design Proportion, it states what the Contractor ought to do where the works contain a Contractors Design Proportion. From these conditions it ought to be clarified the contrast between the Contra ctors Design Proportion and the rest of the activity is to diminish any contentions or disarray all through the task. The Contractors risk is noted in conditions 2.1 and 2.19.1 and guarantees that they don't surpass the degree of works required, because of the Contractors obligation being close to equivalent to the Architects the obligation is limited to the Contractors ability and thoughtfulness regarding

Decision letters mailed

Decision letters mailed EDITED 12/11/04 09:50 AM EST The postman picking up all 383 Admit Letters Actually, this photo only shows about half of the admit letters, as overall there were 4 buckets of The Big Envelope. Speaking of envelope sizes, since Ive received a number of questions about this, I can tell you that the Admit Letter is 10 x 13, and the defer and deny letters each come in a standard #10 window envelope (4.125 x 9.5). The other FAQ Ive been getting is, why so few EA admits? 2002 2003 2004 EA Admits 525 438 383 Well, there are two factors at work here. First, we are committed to admitting no more than one-third of our class during early action. We feel that the pressures to apply early are too high, and dont want to further contribute to that by leaving only a very small number of spaces for regular action, further pressuring people to apply early. We dont want to penalize those students who apply regular action. Second, our last two classes, because of an increased yield (the percentage of admitted students who decide to enroll), have been quite large, and were aiming for a smaller class this year. So, given our 1/3 constraint, our increased yield, and decreased class size, there you have it 383, a nice prime number (though Im sure youd prefer a different prime number, maybe something like 2699). More later (off to dim sum at China Pearl!)

Zoning - 725 Words

Simply put, zoning, in a planning or land use context, is the classification of the land in a community into districts with different regulations for its utilization. Zoning and other methods of land use control have evolved with the primary objectives of promoting the health, safety, and wellbeing of residents while minimizing the negative impacts of one activity or use upon others. Zoning is effectively a legislative process whereby a community prioritizes values associated with land, development, and associated activities. A zoning system generally includes map or plan elements which define areas where like regulations apply, and a textual, usually relatively locally legislated ordinance, code, or law consisting of definitions and†¦show more content†¦The final general type of zoning regulation limits the physical and spatial form of development. Examples of this type include restrictions on building heights, setbacks, road widths, building materials, and architectura l style. In the first third of the 20th century, the United States saw zoning become an accepted tool in land use regulation. New York City passed a zoning plan in 1916. This set of rules primarily focused on building form and setbacks, and included a now routine provision for variances. The New York law was primarily a response to a technological innovation—the skyscraper—and the arising concerns associated with it. Many States adopted the Standard State Zoning Enabling Acts of 1922, which was offered as a model by the U.S. Department of Commerce and provided a framework and codified a general legal basis for zoning across the country. The Department of Commerce also introduced a Standard City Planning Enabling Act, which was widely adopted beginning in 1928. These acts put into place the general structure of local and regional planning and zoning which is still used today. Elements and entities such as the Planning Commission, the Master Plan, subdivision control measures, and provision for regional planning bodies and plans were primarily introduced by the Standard City Planning Enabling Act.

The Story of My Mother Essay Example For Students

The Story of My Mother Essay My mother was born in 1963; the age of reform and revolution. She was young in a decade when Americans were moving away from their conservative ways and transforming to the nation’s democratic ideals. Young people wanted change, which led to protests for equality and demanding an end to the Vietnam War. The civil rights movement led to inspire other groups for equal rights. Feminists demanded an end to sexual discrimination and equal job opportunities. In the beginning of the 60’s it was impossible to find women in any sort of power, and this empowered my mother more than ever. After a long and interesting interview I am now proud to share the memories my mother has. As a young girl, at the age of ten, Kristy was greatly into gymnastics. She was one of the best gymnasts at her gym. Although she became a great athlete there were also a few downfalls. Being such an intense athlete led to stunts in her growth and put her behind on puberty. Not only did she not develop breasts and a menstrual cycle at the same age as her friends but her last name was also Little. The other girls at her school would tease her calling her breasts little; her known nickname around school was â€Å"Little Kristy†. She felt embarrassed and was ashamed that she did not experience menstrual cramps the way all of her friends did. She explained that having a period was something to be proud of, â€Å"you become a women†. As a teenage birth control had first hit the market. During this time women were being more open about their sexuality instead of hiding it away like before, â€Å"I lost my virginity at the age of 14†. Not only was my mother sexually liberated but she also took advantage of Planned Parenthood. Along with the help of Planned Parenthood keeping her safe, she also used rock-and-roll at platform to self-discovery. We will write a custom essay on The Story of My Mother specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now She felt as though she could live through the music and be herself. She claims that music was very important during this era and that it help spread good vibes, and love. This was in extreme contrast to the Victorian-era. One of the largest and most innovative technologies of the menstrual cycle was the invention of the tampon. The tampon allowed women to be more free and flexible when they were on their period. From the Body Project a few women told stories on their first kiss or sexual experience. Yet, there experiences greatly differed due to the cultural change. Women were no longer hiding their sexual feelings. From the body project it seemed that not many girls performed in any sort of sexual activities, and now with birth control on the market it gave women more freedom to express their sexuality. The 60’s were probably the most important times for women rights. Young women all over the country were joining together to be recognized as more than what they were being viewed before. There would often be protests and marches in order to obtain these goals. The women were not going to give up on their common goal: to be truly equal with men. My mother was one of these women to try to create truly equal rights for women. She wanted change not only for herself but also for her fellow friends and family who were women. She knew she had what it took to strive to the top and make her own name for herself. Summer of 1975 Kristy, my mother, was looking to obtain a summer job. Kristy did not live in the easiest of times; her mother was a single mother trying to support a family of four. She began working at a local bank. The bank did not have any other women working. .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 , .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .postImageUrl , .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 , .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:hover , .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:visited , .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:active { border:0!important; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:active , .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08 .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .uf1f40f3c60b31d41e5c50c1ccdb9ae08:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: A Dolls House Full of Tidy Endings EssayAlthough my mother felt very proud and empowered to be the only women working at her job the men did not feel the same way. They would often gawk at her and make little remarks. She did not let this stop her though. She knew this was her time to shine no matter what anyone had to say. She wanted to pave the way into a new era where women could be equal to men and even have better jobs than men. Not only were these protests amazing and empowering for women but they also helped to create equality for other groups other than women. Kristy worked her way through the bank. Interestingly enough, the bank that she had worked at had one of the first ATMs. She was privileged to be the first ever women in her bank to become a manger and introduce the ATM. My mother’s job became training other men employees. This was an important movement because for once a woman was in a higher power of the bank than some of the men. This is indeed a very great move toward women equality. It is interesting to read stories about women who did not have any job, only taking care of kids. Before these times women were always put below men. My mother definitely paved the way and greatly inspires me in my everyday life. Not only did my mother empower herself through getting a job and moving through the ranking she was also an amazing gymnast. It had always been my mothers dream to become something more in life. During these times women were rarely seen as athletes and not really represented in the Olympics. Growing into a beautiful and powerful young woman my mothers life was dedicated to gymnastics and self-expression. She would travel around going to the best gym around her. Her eyes were on the prize she wanted to be on the Olympic team. She trained and trained day and day. No matter what doubts other people had I her she never gave up on herself. She was her own person and she wanted to shine. My mother enjoyed watching TV and often day dreamt about becoming an Olympian, â€Å"I always looked up to Olga Korbut, she was my favorite gymnast and I wanted to be just like her†. She soon found her way to the junior Olympics. Her dream was starting to come true. She could definitely see the change in which women were being treated and their equality with men. I cannot be more proud of my mother and where she has come from. Her era was definitely liberating and I love to hear her stories. It is important to understand and appreciate where woman come from. As a young girl Kristy always dreamed of a world where her daughter would be able to receive equal rights and appreciation. Today in my daily life I strive to be what my mother was and always reach for my goals. Without women in history who defied the rules of culture us women would not be where we are today.

Free Essays on Phillip The 2nd

Phillip the 2nd’s Mistakes â€Å"Leadership determines the fate of a country.† There has never been a truer quote. For a country depends on it’s leaders for guidance and decision making. Phillip the 2nd showed a perfect example of how a terrible leader can royally screw up a country. Phillip the 2nd was the ruler of Spain from 1556 to 1598 and had the opportunities to become one of the greatest rulers of all time. He came in at the right time period, the golden age of Spain, and at one point was the king of England, Spain, and France, and all of America belonged to him. He controlled almost all of the ships at sea and could have been immensely powerful if he had not let his fanatical Catholicism get in the way. Phillip the 2nd was a devout Catholic that took it upon himself to head the Catholic counteroffensive, and he was willing to put in all the sweat, blood, tears, and not to mention money to see it through. He did not care about his country, or anything else for that matter, as much as he did for this. Phillip let economic and material matters slip away and deteriorate, thus beginning the downfall of Spanish culture and Spain. But, while Phillip could slowly destroy Spanish culture, he could not stop the Golden Age. Spain entered it’s Golden Age, and Phillip continued to pump money into the Catholic church. Phillip and Spain were so Catholic that the archbishop of Toledo had so much power and esteem, that he could address the king as an equal, and at one point it was estimated that one third of the population of Spain worked for the Catholic church in some way shape or form. Phillip built a new royal house for himself that was called the Escorial, it was a magnificent building that honored St. Lawrence (another sign of his fanatical Catholicism) because it was on that saints feast day that Phillip won a battle against the French.

Terms Every Aspiring Journalist Needs to Learn

Terms Every Aspiring Journalist Needs to Learn Journalism, like any profession, has its own set of terms, its own lingo, that any working reporter must know in order to understand what people are talking about in a newsroom and to help produce a great news story. Here then are 10 terms that you should know. Lede The lede is the first sentence of a hard-news story; a succinct summary of the story’s main point. Ledes should typically be a single sentence or no more than 35 to 40 words. The best ledes are ones that highlight the most important, newsworthy and interesting aspects of a news story while leaving out secondary details that can be included later in the story.​ Inverted Pyramid The inverted pyramid is the model used to describe how a news story is structured. It means the heaviest or most important news goes at the top of the story, and the lightest, or least important, goes at the bottom. As you move from the top to the bottom of the story, the information presented should gradually become less important. That way, if an editor needs to cut the story to make it fit a particular space, she can cut from the bottom without losing any vital information. Copy Copy simply refers to the content of a news article. Think of it as another word for content. So when we refer to a copy editor, were talking about someone who edits news stories. Beat A beat is a particular area or topic that a reporter covers. On a typical local newspaper, youll have an array of reporters who cover such beats as the police, courts, city hall and school board. At larger papers, beats can become even more specialized. Papers like The New York Times have reporters who cover national security, the Supreme Court, high-tech industries and health care. Byline The byline is the name of the reporter who writes a news story. Bylines are usually placed at the beginning of an article. Dateline The dateline is the city from which a news story originates. This is usually placed at the start of the article, right after the byline. If a story has both a dateline and a byline, that generally indicates that the reporter who wrote the article was actually in the city named in the dateline. But if a reporter is in, say, New York, and is writing about an event in Chicago, he must choose between having a byline but no dateline, or vice versa.   Source A source is anyone you interview for a news story. In most cases, sources are on-the-record, which means they are fully identified, by name and position, in the article for which they have been interviewed. Anonymous source This is a source who does not want to be identified in a news story. Editors generally frown upon using anonymous sources because they are less credible than on-the-record sources, but sometimes anonymous sources are necessary. Attribution Attribution means telling readers where the information in a news story comes from. This is important because reporters dont always have firsthand access to all the information needed for a story; they must rely on sources, such as police, prosecutors or other officials for information. AP Style This refers to Associated Press Style, which is the standardized format and usage for writing news copy. AP Style is followed by most U.S. newspapers and websites. You can learn AP Style for the AP Stylebook.

Analysing two websites Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 4000 words

Analysing two websites - Essay Example The site features and other characteristics are noted to its full length for the comparison. Amazon’s homepage provides the user with an overview of their whole site, which is vitally important as (Nielsen, 2002) explains "The homepage is your companys face to the world." As recommended by Nielsen (2002) Amazon has used a tagline to capture and communicate the essence of the company; making the sites purpose immediately clear â€Å"Amazon.com: Online shopping for electronics, apparel, music, books, DVDs & more.† Their logo is also apparent, boosting brand awareness, differentiating identity from competitors and providing familiarity to users. It can be found in the top left hand corner of the homepage, showing standard HTML conventions have been adopted. Guerrilla marketing is a corner stone for only books on marketing and the site is not that usable for frequent visits in comparison. The HTML conventions are not followed for wide practice however it provides detailed information about every marketing journal about marketing and presentation abilities. Amazon site is inked with major products like books and every site featuring essential products like books and other resources is interlinked for purchase. Amazon use standard blue hyperlinks, tab navigation, browse box, graphics and a search input box to help users interactively navigate the site, in a simple, easy to use fashion. Key worded category hyperlinks, emphasise product variety and the sites most important sections. Amazon is a path-based homepage; we recommend duplicating this approach to split the audience immediately into interest groups and to offer them specific, more relevant information in menu pages deeper within the site. (Lynch and Horton, 2002.) Amazon reveals real site content (Nielsen, 2002) offering easy access to recent homepage features. Homepages are updated regularly; visual graphics are kept meaningful and often

Abortion the topic of debate in the media Essay

Abortion the topic of debate in the media - Essay Example I am prepared to argue that abortion should not be legalized as instead it becomes common, takes away the value of human life, is not a 1 person issue, and it in fact causes women in some countries to be less free. In Mascle’s article she believes that in our society the illegalization of abortion is just another way to keep men at the top and women struggling at the bottom. She believes that taking the woman’s right to say no to giving birth to an unwanted child away gives men the upper hand. This in turn leaves women once a gain feeling powerless. She says, â€Å"Pregnancy and child care have long been ways that men have controlled and dominated women as well as restricted their education and professional lives (Mascle, 2).† She also believes that this not only works to dominate women but it also targets the poor and underprivileged. Mascle also believes that instead of spending a vast amount of money on trying to make sure that abortion is illegal, organizatio ns and individuals should be using this same money to help. She thinks that this money could be used to help the already helpless and needy children and disadvantaged women we have in our world. A third reason Mascle states in her article for the legalization of abortion is that women should not have to be forced to go through the physical procedure of giving birth. She says, â€Å"Pregnancy and child birth is a physical ordeal that can have a lifelong impact on a womans mental and physical health and well being (Mascle, 2).†

Soap Operas Are Regarded Media Essay

Soap Operas Are Regarded Media Essay Introduction Soap operas are often regarded as bad, poorly acted, not socially valued if not said have no aesthetic at all. Is it because most of the soap opera viewers are women? In traditional view, soap opera is perceived as less significant compare to other forms of television programme. However, this overview changed when soap opera reached high ratings and generated high revenues. It increases prominence of soap opera in television landscape and attract scholars to study this particular genre of television programme. The study of soap opera has not completed without studying its audiences. It is assumed that soap opera viewers are predominantly women. There are various theories of soap opera audience that emerge, such as uses and gratification (à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦). Literature review The gendered audience theory discussed by Mary Ellen Brown in her book, Soap Opera and Womens Talk is the starting point of our discussion on women and soap opera. In the gendered audience theory, it is assumed that hegemonic values, in which tend to exclude non dominant perspectives, has to be deconstructed in order to study television audiences (Brown 1994, p.12). Brown (1994, p.13) assumes that the interaction between TV audiences and a text does not stop with the moment of consumption of the text. Rather, she explains that the process of meaning making exists in the tertiary text, a term used by John Fiske which refers to the conversations that people engage in about television watching, in which also used in the ethnographic research (Brown 1994, p.13). Brown asserts that soap opera gives women reactive pleasures, that is pleasures of being represented by the narrative that soap opera brought to the surface (Brown 1994, p.18). This pleasure has to do with the idea that soap opera has been facilitating women to talk with each other and expressing their ideas and feelings without being criticised (p.18). Soap opera depicts problems that women in real life are dealing with, it creates conversation between them around the text, which called the spoken text. This conversation is emerged as result of feeling unrepresented in the dominant discourse, in which women are considered as part of subordinate groups, where their positions are constructed within patriarchy system (p.23). Christine Scodari in her book, Serial Monogamy: soap opera, lifespan, and the gendered politics of fantasy discusses Stuart Halls (1980) decoding/ encoding model, in which divides the reader into preferred/ dominant, negotiated and oppositional. According to Lewis, this classic model is believed to leave a gap of readers who acknowledge the storys intent but disagrees with it (p.42). In order to fill in this gaps, Lewis creates a fourth designation, the resistive reading that is the process of questioning the idea of preferred reading by exploring the messages ambiguity they see fit (p.42). Scodari suggests to add the qualifier hegemonic or counter hegemonic into the discussion, as the emerging of interaction between soap opera fans creates collective positions of reading. She further explores this conception by discussing interaction between fans of Another World, a mid 1990s US soap opera. Scodari claims that the shows plot was becoming more similar with Days of Our Lives, that ten d to focus on catfight between the female characters, she calls this as DOOLification of soap opera (p.43). The plot tends to encourage confrontation between audiences that happens in private place such as home, or publicly in the online media. The fans reaction toward it was polarised between the preferred, hegemonic reading and the oppositional, counter hegemonic. The fans begin to name calling each other and attacking personal, in which Scodari refers this as tabloid talk (p.43). Jennifer Hayward, in her journal, Day after Tomorrow: Audience Interaction and Soap Opera Production discusses about soap opera audience have power over the show. This notion contradicts with the common perception that soap fans have been considered as passive victims, brainwashed by the shows narrative (p.97). Hayward analyse conversation between Oprah Winfrey and one of the addict soaps fans. Hayward finds that speculating what will happen to characters within the next episodes, which called the narrative game contributes to what we understood as soap pleasure (p.98). According to the conversation, Hayward assumes crucial function of soap opera as to provide communities an open lines of communication between viewers, a neutral field discussion for housewives isolated in their respective homes and nuclear families (p.99). She also adds other function of soap opera, which is to provide a forum for public to explore disruptive social issues as well as political matters. In relation to power of the audience, she contests the notion that soap opera audiences are passive victims. From her analysis of the fans letters and conversation with them, Hayward suggests that the audiences are showing active involvement with the process of fiction making (p.99). They send letters to the shows producer, convey their criticism and even giving suggestion on how the narrative should be. Hayward uses a case study of One Life to Live to show fans power. One of the characters of OLTL, left the show due to a contract dispute, the fans response by sending 45.000 letters and then it became the headlines across soap magazines. Hayward calls this activity as active fandom (p.101). Whetmore and Kielwasser on their journal, The Soap Opera Audience Speaks: A Preliminary Report discusses how the soap viewers perceive the viewing process (p.110). The complexity and multiple sub plots seem to be characteristic of soap opera, therefore it takes a while for newly viewers to be able to understand the whole narratives. The authors suggests that newly viewers of certain soap opera has to get over the hump, that is the process of understanding the historical ties that bind the characters together (p.110). This process is enabled through discussion with other more experienced viewers. Soap opera tends to withheld the solutions of problems encountered by the characters, ends each episode with questions in viewers minds. This is claimed to be one of the appeal of soap opera (Jen Hayward). This creates viewing dependency. According to Whetmore and Kielwasser, by this viewing consistency, viewers are developing different emotional payoffs. They classify these payoffs into thre e categories; immediate, short term and long term (p.111). Newly viewers usually developing immediate payoffs, because it do not require understanding of previous plot lines and are usually characterised by the completion of a single event (p.111). The example of immediate payoffs is romantic scene. Short term payoffs require viewing practice from the beginning of a single sub plot to its completion. It usually found in the mini climax of a single sub plot (p.111). Long term payoffs are mostly awaited by devoted and long time viewers. Often, it requires years of constant viewing. Barbara Stern and Cristel Russell in their journal, Vulnerable Women on Screen and at Home: Soap Opera Consumption contests positive functions of soap opera that have been described by Hayward. Stern and Russel assume that soap opera appealing for women because it provides emotional release, personal gratification, companionship and reality escapism (p.222). They claim that soap opera industry continue displaying vulnerable upper class women to put viewers in an inferior position that are constantly exposed to imaginary ways of living and improper role models. Persistent viewing practice is assumed to risk viewers an emotional harm (Jewel and Abate 2001). They claims that the soap industry repetitively convey gender stereotyping that put women in subordination (p.223). The negative effects of soap opera are claimed to give viewers parasocial attachment and vulnerability loop in social learning and behavioural modelling (p.223). Parasocial attachment is defined as viewer relationship with fictional characters in which perceived to be real people, thus able to influence viewers norms, desires and behaviours (Churchill and Moschis 1975). In long term period, this can lead to cultivation effects, that is images on television shapes viewers perception of social reality (Larson 1996, p.98). This is enabled by viewers attachment to characters they observe on a daily basis. The stronger this parasocially interaction, the more it is likely to become a source of behavioural modelling (Stern Russell 2005, p.223). In contrast with Haywards idea, Stern and Russell claim that social function of soap opera have been over expected, because it has negative implications to less educated and less affluent soap audiences. To clarify their idea, the authors discuss recent study of 900 long term soap viewers who mostly perceive that alcohol drinking looks attractive and is associated with success (Diener 1993). Behavioural modelling also become concerns especially for adolescent gi rl soap viewers. The author mention a study of teenage girl soap viewers responses to images of single mothers, found that the girls tend to trivialise the parental role of single mom as hip and enjoyable without having to work hard. Dorothy Hobson in her book, Soap Opera claims that those critics who perceive that soap opera viewers as vulnerable and likely to be fooled by the programmes have not done sufficient studies of the audience. Hobson supports what Brunsdon noted as active audiences. Those viewers consciously choose which aspects of the programmes that they interesting in and then interpret the text according to their own experiences (Hobson 2003, p.166). Soap operas are appealing to women audiences because the programmes portray problems as well as solutions that they can identify with. Viewers at home especially housewives are incorporating soap opera viewing as her daily routines and manage her domestic duties such as cooking and preparing for dinner in a way that enable them to watch prime time soap opera. In an interview she conducted to women viewers, Hobson finds that soap opera are interesting to them because of the unpredictable events that happen within the serial, unlike other genre such as n ews programmes that are most likely to show crimes (p.171). When something bad happens to soap opera characters, the dramatic effect that viewers feel is more likely as if it is happen to somebody they know. Draw from this findings, Hobson asserts that soap opera carries the message more effectively than the same discourses exposed in a news programme (p.172). Viewers also make judgement on how the characters should behave in certain circumstances, comparing with how they would react if those things happen to them in real life. Hobson asserts that watching soap opera is not a passive process, instead the pleasure of it comes from conversation with other people, sharing opinions and using it as a medium to discuss aspects of their own lives (p.175). According to interview conducted to working women in Britain, Hobson found that women are discussing soap opera within their workplace. This conversation of the narratives enables them to discuss personal matters without making anybody fe els being intruded and humiliated. Hobson calls this as bringing the private sphere into the public domain (p.179). Conversation about soap opera performs as a medium to discuss personal problems among these working women. Hobson calls this as creating a cultural space in the workplace (p.182). Conclusion

Should Schools Be Able to Search Lockers

Should student’s lockers be checked? I think that lockers should be checked because there could be drugs, alcohol, and weapons in the lockers. Bringing all of this stuff to school is highly against the rules and against the law. These things could kill you and you could kill others. If student’s lockers were checked it would reduce the gun killing and selling of drugs. Student’s lockers should be checked randomly. With randomly checking the lockers, students will not know what day they will be checked. They will never know when to take the drugs, guns, or alcohol out of the locker.Keeping drugs, alcohol, and guns in your locker is not a good idea because if you tell anyone they are there they can break into your locker and steal it. They can go and sell it or shoot someone and say that you are the one who gave it to them. Using drugs or alcohol can make you do stuff you do not mean to do. Having guns can influence you to shoot it, and want to kill things. Lockers can be checked by the schools because it is school property. The schools should be able to check all lockers so that they know what kind of stuff they have in them.Every year there are less drugs and alcohol in schools, because of locker searches. There are less school shootings going on in schools that do random locker searches. If your family has a history of drug or alcohol abuse it can lead to you doing then because you someone else doing it and you think that makes it ok. Searching for drugs or alcohol can make the school a better place to be . By searching lockers it will put bad people in jail and get kids expelled or suspended. Having school locker searches will not only allow the school to be safer, but the state too.It will let the students know not to buy drugs and not to keep them on school property. The lockers belong to the school so you should not keep items in them you don’t want others to see. If there is a kid that is doing drugs it could influence others t o do it because they may think that it is cool. That is why I say yes to random locker searches in our schools. It would make our schools a safer place. It would also make kids think twice before bringing drugs, alcohol, and weapons into our schools.
