Databases within Organizations
Many organizations use databases to input, access, change, and retrieve valued data. According to Philip (2008), a database is defined as the "Collection of data produced and retrieved by computer." A database program, as defined by Philip (2008), "enables the computer to generate files of data and later search for and retrieve specific items or groups of items." Within an organization, the data is usually made up of information about the organization's inventory, customers, employees, sales reports, payroll, etc.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is probably one of the best known works to come out of the Victorian Era. This short novella griped the audiences of the late nineteenth century Britons, and its popularity has not wavered. You would be hard pressed to find an average person who does not know the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In 1894 Joseph Jacobs wrote that “it stands beside The Pilgrim’s Progress and Gulliver’s Travels as one of the three great allegories in English.” While this novella displays many of the values of the Victorian Era, it really anticipates twentieth century pessimism. It struck “an undeniable truth of human nature.” Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde captivated millions of people, while displaying many of the key morals, principles, and ethics of the Victorian Era; it echoed the controversial Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud. This story more relates to the modern gothic, than to traditional Victorian Era literature.
