Reality Article Reviews Samples For Students

Perhaps the most demanding task for any chief information officer (CIO) of a company is gaining the support of their colleagues for new projects within their firms—in the face of competing values. Enns, Mc Farlin and Sweeney (2011) performed focused interviews with Irish CIOs regarding the influence process and the competing values phenomenon. In this article, two propositions were proposed: (1) everything else being equal, influence attempts are less likely to result in commitment to the new initiative when competing values exists between CIOs and the targets of their influence attempts; and (2) the impact of competing values on ...

Tal Fortgang`s article “Checking My Privlidge” is about white people being discriminated against because they have many privlidges due to the history of their power. He writes of those who use his privilege against him in speech that, “I do condemn them for diminishing everything I have personally accomplished.” This seems a simple statement. Who exactly is diminishing everything that he has accomplished? I do not believe that this is happening. It seems that Fortgang is upset because while not everyone is equal in the history of mankind, and even today, he wants the world to pretend that everyone ...

Introduction

“Cogito ergo sum” is a Latin phrase translated in English as “I think, therefore I am”. The phrase was Rene Descartes’ (1596-1650) philosophical proposition of existence in that he knew he was somewhere as an entity because of his capacity to have thoughts. The proposition has been perceived by western scholars as the foundation for all knowledge because while some objects can be queried if the belong to the realm of imagination or reality, the act of doubting ones existence is proof enough of the reality of their existence (Broughton, 109). I agree with Descartes proposal based on my idea ...

Summary of the article/introduction

Baudrillard mentions that postmodern simulacra and simulation are no longer a question of imitation but rather an analysis of how images of the real are substituting for the real. However, he does not suggest that the postmodern culture is fully artificial since the concept of artificiality still needs some sense of reality against which to recognize the deceit. To simulate refers to the pretence of having what one doesn’t have while the opposite (dissimulate) refers to the pretence of not having what one has. However, simulating is not pretending since it threatens the difference between reality and imagination while ...

The overarching theme that the author addresses in this article is post-modernism. Various schools of thought have sought to deconstruct those traditional institutions that have been formulated by western rationality and enlightenment. Many scholars have believed that the dominant socio-political forces within society have played a vital role in the creation of institutions and perceptions that we have held as being reality. These perceptions that we have believed to be modernity are in retrospect not a reflection of reality because they are not inclusive of the minority within different societal frameworks.
The epistemological and ontological foundations on the universal truths ...

In what sense does the subsection "Protecting Our Zones of Interaction with Our Young Children" tie in with the Social Construction of Reality? Please be specific and draw from examples in the book chapter.
Peter Berger and Thomas Luckman have put forward the theory of Social Construction of Reality. This theory states that the way we present ourselves to others is dependent on how we are raised and what we are raised to believe. In other words, the way in which an individual perceives reality is colored by their beliefs and background. In the book the Big Disconnect, the ...

Is The World How We Perceive It to Be?

Introduction
Philosophy, like the hard sciences, always introduces very enigmatic concepts. Until now, the idea of the reality of the world and where it really did come from still remains an unsolved mystery. With this being said, one ultimate question arises, how certain are we that the world is really how we perceive it to be? This paper analyzes the answers given by two of the world’s modern-day philosophers John Locke, and George Berkeley.

The major claim that John Locke, an English philosopher, used to approach the question was the concept of Tabula Rasa. This concept states that ...

Although some critics despised melodrama for its emotional exaggeration, it is undeniably true that both classic culture and popular culture have somehow applied the characteristics of melodrama as emotional rhetoric. The purpose of this paper is to establish empathy between the emotions of the visual image and the audience. Moreover, another purpose is to serve as either authority or the artist’s livelihood. For example, the religious art during medieval times sought to make people cry over the suffering of Jesus with the elements of horror and pity while the religious art during the Renaissance sought to deliver a ...

Realist theory arose by way of reaction to the shortcomings of utopian philosophy and the utopianism underlying the post-World War I peace-building process. What is the realist critique of utopianism in relation to the League of Nations? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Woodrow Wilson was the most prominent advocate of the utopian approach underlying the post-World War I peace-building process.

Who invented the Telephone

Mr. Beauchamp’s article recounts how United States patent law ensured Alexander Graham Bell came to be recognized as the sole inventor of the telephone and how the company/corporation he founded took a singular court argument and built it into a monopolistic enterprise, the premiere corporation in the world by mid-20th century. In particular, he claims that the development of U.S. patent law in the 19th century ensured this success while at the same time abetting litigation by numerous parties who wanted to secure the benefits of being recognized as the inventor of the telephone, or to undermine Bell’s claim ...

Donna Haraway attempts to create an ambiguous political myth that supports the concepts of materialism, socialism, and feminism. She formulates the analogy of a cyborg by using gender to create a manifesto of the creature’s power. The cyborg that is central to her myth entails a cybernetic being that is a hybrid of an organism and a machine. It is a creature of science fiction as well as a creature of reality. The cyborg is utilized as a metaphor for new technology and political and postmodern identity. This essay provides a succinct evaluation of the primary ideas in ...

David Foster Wallace makes an argument against obscurantism in Academic English. He denotes that the pretense that is rife in academic writing is a result of “the delicate balance between language as a vector of meaning and language as a vector of the writer’s own resume” (56). When a writer makes an effort to reinforce and communicate their positions as intellectual motivated by vanity and insecurity they end up writing using unnecessary diction.

1. Author Frank F. Furstenberg believes that although America is a society that eschews a separation between classes, there are clear opportunity differences based upon the socioeconomic bracket that a person was born into. Furstenberg feels that this is contrary to the American ideology. But these ideologies do not match the actual reality of the United States. The author writes that “the United States, long regarded as the land of opportunity, has never entirely lived up to its billing” (Furstenberg, 2006).
The differences in classism have been for all of its history a social construction based not always on the reality. The ...

Article Review: Columbus, The Indians, and Human Progress

The article “Columbus, The Indians and Human Progress” by Howard Zinn presents real facts of the exploration and discovery of the world by Europeans and how they conquered and ruled over the world. The article throws light on the great misconception that the lands discovered and explored by European explorers were uncivilized bare wastelands. On the contrary these were the lands of great traditions, society and in many ways better than European civilizations. In many of the cases the atrocities shown by great personalities like Columbus is coveted instead of becoming a matter of concern for modern civilization. The article ...

E-Governance

E-Governance: A Review
Introduction
E-governance was discussed in M. Joe Moon’s article “The Evolution of E-Government among Municipalities: Rhetoric or Relity?” and Genie N.L. Stowers’s “Issues in E-Commerce and E-Government Service Delivery.” The main point emphasized in both articles is how technology has flourished communication where discussions changed from text based to graphic-based. Stowers (2004) mentioned that the emergence of technology based communication tools allowed individual-based democratic communication to flounder. Furthermore, Moon (2002) stipulates that the move towards E-government its effectiveness, implementation and development still remains misunderstood.

Summary

In Moon’s article E-governance is defined as a ...

Social perception gives people the ability to predict what others are thinking or feeling and the ability to understand the motivations of others. However, social perceptions can be considered inaccurate in most cases because personal beliefs, expectations, and ambiguous messages received from others can impact their accuracy. Recent neurological research proved that all people have the ability to perceive correct information from targets, but that research did not focus on internal psychological factors that can distort or neglect those perceptions.
According to various researchers, personal beliefs can distort social perceptions and make them inaccurate. Self-serving bias and personal ...
