What are the implications for society when the corporation is the single most important ISA?
Basically, the increasing role of corporations produces a profound impact on society, Potentially, the dominance of corporations or one corporation can lead to significant changes in the development of the entire society. In this respect, it should be said that the domination of the corporation as the single most important ISA will lead to the formation of the specific corporate culture as the dominant culture of the society. To put it more precisely, the corporation will establish its own standards which the entire society will have to follow because the corporation is the major force in the society.
Consequently, being the dominant power, the corporation will be able to impose its ideology on the entire society. The latter, in its turn, will view the corporation as a sample of the social organization. In other words, the social structure will more likely to follow or simply mirror the structure of the corporation. At the same time, the corporation will be perceived as an ideal and the only possible social system that can function really effectively. In such a context, social interests and social institutions, such as public organizations turn to be secondary compared to the corporation, which is superior in relation to social institutions.
The war is the most terrible thing that can ever happen. The battle of field is the place where you stay with your fears and only other soldiers who stand shoulder to shoulder with you can help your overcome these fears and be brave. All the feelings are exaggerated in the war, you see your life in a new way. You feel that those who fight together with you are so close and so dear that nothing can weaken this bond. War friends are as thick as thieves because they have experienced what you have when you serried together before the fight. You have seen the war all together as it was in reality, you looked in the eyes of the death together. “What is not replaceable is the esteem of comrades, but to the replacement soldier, just arrived, there is no comradeship, so there is nothing to hold him to his post” (Ambrose, 117). If you came through the war together, nothing would separate your after this serious life test. Stephen Ambrose devoted his series of books, and “Band of Brothers” among them, to the theme of war friendship.

Grade system at schools and colleges has both, its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, grades are a kind of stimulus for students. They encourage students to study better because competing with each other for grades students, even unconsciously, improve their results in different subjects. However, despite these advantages grade system is not perfect. First of all, students are more oriented on grades than on the subject itself. Many students study only to get good grades. They attend all lectures, are active at seminars and at last get an A but they will never open their lecture or read a book in this sphere when the course is over. It is studying for studying, not for knowledge.
Oedipus Rex is a play written by Sophocles almost 2500 years ago but it’s still relevant today. Sophocles was a talented dramatist because all his plays present real individuals with strong characters and usually tragic fates. The images of sight and blindness are of great importance because they allow the readers to reveal such imporant themes of the work as fate and the person’s predetermination in life. Each phrase of his narration is significant because it makes the contribution to the whole play.
