Due to his familiarity and popularity, this author is used to introduce and exemplify profound ideas, as they are found all along his works. In “The Sneetches”, this author postulates that, through capitalism, humans can overcome their differences and live in harmony.

The musical drama Tristan und Isolde is Richard Wagner’s testament to his power to impart musical dominance. Regarded as one of the best musical dramas in history, Tristan und Isolde has imparted deep influence and inspiration due to its eclectic amalgamation of ideas circling on the realm of metaphysics. Musical aestheticism is the overriding force in the entire drama, the illustration of its overall poeticism being highly reliant on the way its musical scores are composed. The drama imparts its messages through Wagner’s emphasis on the drama’s entire musical agglomeration. Music strongly portrays various character emotions ...

Man like most of the other members of the animal kingdom is a territorial creature. He needs space to live, space to gather resources, maintain a family, pass down assets to progeny, and so on. War like behavior is seen in many other species from ants to chimpanzees (Thornton). However, the one distinct feature that sets man apart from all the animals is the virtue of compassion, understanding and the ability to live in harmony. The world as we know today is a lot different from what nature has defined it to be. Man’s colonial tendencies, his ability to develop cultures ...

Kongzi, or Confucius, often known as the Socrates of the east, has been a pretty influential figure in the Chinese culture. He is considered to be the first man in China to emphasize on education for everyone and its role in building one’s character. Based on the learning abilities, he considered humans to belong to upper, middle or lower groups. However, his view on human nature has not been well- documented. From whatever we know, he only spoke once directly about the human nature. In The Analects of Confucius XVII, verse 2, he said that by nature, the humans ...

We went to a concert, Olivia and the Santa Barbara Boys on last Monday, March 25th at Lawrence & Alma Berk Recital Hall, which is located in 1140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA. It was the third concert to have attended during this course. Jazz is a music genre that is of interest to many people. There should be effort to ensure that this interest is maintained by improvising it so that people will still like it. Compared to the last two concerts we went, this concert was presented in a university hall which made people feel casual. The audience was more relaxed and ...

As film students, we were taught to detach ourselves from the typical everyday spectators who usually after watching something would simply comment, “I liked it”, or “I hated it”.

Being said that, after watching Scott Stark's films on December 9th at the first person cinema, I was torn. There were some pieces that I completely detested (Traces, Hotel Cartograph, To love or to die), and there are those that I was so gratefulto be blown away (Degree of ...

It has been widely accepted for numerous decades now that women are meant to nurture their children, do the housework, stay at home, and be perfect housewives, having everything and everyone in the household settled and contented. Men, on the other hand, are expected to provide for their families, be the ones who discipline children and the sole responsible for fixing things around the house. When that balance is kept and each gender plays their “role” well, everything works clockwise and societies treat that particular household, where everything is in order and each gender does the things that are ...

As far as the approaches and worldviews of the Buddha, Rene Descartes and Socrates are concerned, it seems that the Buddha would be most similar to Socrates. Both great thinkers started exploring a new aspect of metaphysics (reality) and epistemology of the truth more than two-thousand years ago. Even though a distance of thousands of miles separated these brilliant minds, however, the philosophies they developed were quite similar. Both observed the world around them and ended up realizing that people were doing things the wrong way, just like they are today.
As both the Buddha and Socrates tried to make ...

The two pieces of work, ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost, and ‘A worn Path’ by Eudora Welty both describe two separate journeys by two characters. The two journeys, though in separate worlds, are loaded with symbolism in the characters, elements of the journey and the emerging themes.

Symbolism of the journey

Though appearing simple and subtle, the story ‘A Worn Down ...
