Literary Analysis: Hamlet’s Flaws, Renaissance Drama, and Piers Plowman
Hamlet’s Character Flaws and Impulsivity

The AI Education Debate: Benefits and Ethical Challenges
Advantages of AI in Education
1. Personalized Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can adapt educational content to each student’s pace, level, and learning style. This level of customization is nearly impossible for a single teacher managing a large group. An intelligent system can detect student mistakes and offer targeted exercises, making the learning process more effective.
2. Universal Accessibility
AI tools, such as voice assistants, automatic reading features, and subtitles, make learning more

Rule-Based Classification Technique
Rule-based classification is a data mining method where IF–THEN rules are used to classify data into different categories. Each rule has two parts:
- IF (condition): tests certain attribute values
- THEN (conclusion): assigns a class label
Example:
IF age > 18 AND income = high THEN class = “Premium Customer”.
Key Points of Rule-Based Classification
- Simple and Interpretable: Rules are easy to understand because they are written in natural language.
- Classification

The Problem of Knowledge in a Changing World
Are there two types of knowledge corresponding to two types of reality? According to Heraclitus, everything in nature flows. Plato argues from this that if nature is constantly changing, it is impossible to validate a claim forever; any claim only applies to a single instant.

Cohen-Sutherland Line Clipping Algorithm
What is the Cohen-Sutherland Algorithm?
The Cohen–Sutherland algorithm is a line clipping method used to clip a line segment against a rectangular clipping window. It divides the area around the window into regions and assigns a 4-bit region code (Outcode) to each endpoint of the line.
Algorithm Steps
Assign 4-bit codes to each endpoint. Each bit represents a position relative to the window:
- Bit 1: Top
- Bit 2: Bottom
- Bit 3: Right
- Bit 4: Left
For example:
