Although Dickens was the most frequently published author of the 19th century Poland, his popularity waned during the modernist and inter-war period as he was considered a classic author and scholars decided that his writings were not conducive to modernist aesthetics.
With the change in the political system (onset of communism) and social order, scholars were left perplexed as to where to place him in the post war reality.
Although Dickens could have been banned, that would have proved to be counterproductive. With Socialism taking root in Poland after the War, the leaders strived to create a mass culture ...

Classical and operant conditioning are essential for understanding the close connection between our inner self and the surrounding.
One of the elementary principles of learning is classical conditioning. Classical conditioning is a reflexive or automatic type of learning where, in time, one stimulus takes over the possibility of ...

The confluence of religion and politics is almost always controversial - the varying conflicts that arise from people of different religions (and even different sects of the same religion) can make tackling issues of public policy or business extremely difficult. With that said, there may be some merit to pursuing faith through diplomacy in a governmental context. Given the connection that faith can provide between countries, faith-based diplomacy can be a useful tool of foreign policy. These issues and more will be explored in the context of Madeleine Albright's essay "Faith and Diplomacy."

About the mentioned families, they include two with an American background, two are Bohemian, three German, and the remaining three are Irish, Polish, and Italian respectively.

For instance, while the workers from family #8 and #1 are American and Irish respectively they are both bricklayers; and the #3 Bohemian and #9 Italian individuals work as laborers. Still, a further study of the variables shows that a similarity in employment does not mean one in income. By that logic, ethnicity, occupation, and income played key roles ...

Thus, amidst challenges that come with settling people with diverse interests, Australia has had some gains out of its efforts to integrate people of different social ...

After World War II, the contradictory ideologies between the Soviets and the Americans finally materialized, as the two countries became superpowers albeit in different spheres. On one hand, the United States established its dominance in the East; on the other, the Soviet Union held the West. Consequently, the two nations created the Eastern and Western Bloc on which the governance of their respective territories took place, and as they formed new alliances. At the root of the disparities was the question of how best to exercise their new powers. The United States of America supported imperialism while the Soviet ...

It is common knowledge that every well-educated person should know, understand and appreciate music. However, no matter how well aware of various composers and genres people might be, many of us find it difficult to feel it. There are numerous examples of musicians who can technically perform a piece, but when you listen to them playing, you realize that you might as well listen to a robot. Only the emotion behind the melody gives music a truly human feel and makes it a universal human language that will be understood all over the world. Thus, it is extremely important ...

The subject of disrespect or unfairness is a box of paradoxes. Men rebuking men, men rebuking women, women rebuking men, and women rebuking women have remained an issue in human civilization. Right from the time of the early civilizations, there is enough evidence to show that disrespect of other people in various forms existed, and despite the cry for equality, such disrespect continues unabated. Disrespecting or abusing people in the name of religious or political beliefs, ethnic or racial origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation can be seen in college campuses, and places of work, all around the ...

Luke was humming some catchy tune as he was leaning against the kitchen counter and making grilled cheese. He opened the fridge to get a milk carton, then took two glasses from the kitchen drawer and put them on the table. He poured some milk in both, leveling his head with the glasses and squinting his eyes as he made sure the milk was poured at exactly the same level in both glasses, trying not to spill a drop on the table which he had cleaned to the perfect whiteness prior.

A. Poland and the Cold War

Soviet troops occupied Poland at the end of World War II. Future elections in Poland were one of the subjects at the Yalta Conference in 1945.

Stalin assumed that if Poles had their choice in free elections, they would not be voting in favor of the current communist administration in the Soviet Union. Poland and the Soviet Union had been at ...

Maus is one of the most significant and powerful artworks, produced by an American Jewish artist or writer, regarding the Holocaust, which Spiegelman indicates as “things that happened before young Germans were even born” (461). The work is popular due to Spiegelman’s honesty, narrative talent, and use of graphics. In addition, Spiegelman has also put it clearly that the community that people live in is threatening and can cause trauma. However, he asserts that the Jewish community has remained bound together, despite the challenges they face. The author gives his family’s life and, the language and images ...

Is Death in Venice A Tragedy?

A critical and logical analysis of the novella Death in Venice makes me think otherwise on whether the death of Aschenbach was a tragedy. Though to some extent it seems true, the real cause of the death is not tragic, however.

In this paper, I will discuss three points in details that support my position that the death of Aschenbach in the book Death in Venice was not tragic. His love for art and beauty, ...

On December 10, 1942, Edward Raczynski of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Polish government-in-exile sent a note to the Allies concerning the Nazi’s extermination of Jews in German-occupied Poland (Finch 30).

Some examples of these regulations were the closure of all Jewish-owned businesses, the restriction of ...

Isaac Beshavis Singer’s short story “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy” tells the tale of a young woman in 19th-century Poland who, in her desire to study the Torah, dresses up as a man and calls herself Anshel when she moves to a yeshiva. While there, Yentl wrestles both with her feelings for a fellow student, Avigdor, and the morally gray nature of what she is doing. Singer’s tale shows the complexities of gender politics in the typically-conservative Hasidic Jewish society, the nature of religion, and interesting questions of identity through Yentl’s journey. The evolution of Yentl as a character is very fascinating, ...

Evolution of One's Self

It may seem that human life is based on the totality of various situations, which give us only experience and certain knowledge at the moment they take place. Indeed, various situations build our character and contribute to our development. On the other hand, some periods of human life have more implications on further growths and development than the others. In this regard, experiences of childhood are of particular importance, since childhood traumas might have ruinous implications for the adulthood and life path in general. From the psychoanalytical perspective, the most crucial relationship is between children and their parents, since ...

During the Holocaust, the logistics of systematically imprisoning and eliminating six million Jews and other "undesirables" could not have been done simply by the Nazi Party and conservative Germany. Many other factions and individuals contributed to the facilitation of the Holocaust and its continued operation on both civilian and military levels. There were many reasons why people collaborated with the Nazis, and the results were often much more widespread than the Germans themselves could have hoped for. Collaboration with the Nazis during the Holocaust was a vital component that contributed to the substantial number of victims accumulated during this dreadful ...

Introduction

The Cold War became a dominant issue in the field of international relations for almost half of the twentieth century, that is, from 1945 to 1991 (Painter 1).

Although historians are quite divided on what or who caused the Cold War – on one hand, they say the Soviets caused it and on the other, they say ...

Effects of dietary Arabinogalactan on the rheological properties of yoghurt

Rheological properties of the dairy products constitute a crucial index through which the quality of the dairy product is determined.
