Additionally, the reader sees the ways that the slaves became disconnected from their tribes, families, and culture. The physical displacement speaks to the way ...

The novel A Good Man is Hard to Find written by Flannery O’Connor tells a story about a family that is going out on vacation. The story uses a couple of literary aesthetics to tell the story. One theme that stands out is his evident use of religion, and Christianity for that matter. Through the Grandmother and the misfit, one gets to see how a Christ- like incarnation and the grace of God are brought out. There is recognition of divine powers in the story but then one is not mislead when looking at the Misfit as an anti- Christ figure. Nevertheless, ...

One the major epigraphs used by Edna in the Down by the River is ‘Darkness is our souls, do you not think? Flutier. Our souls, shame-wounded by our sins.’ This is a wise quote from Ulysses. It is figurative and useful in helping the author to deliver her message to the audience. In deed, it provides a different source of voice which directly influences me as a reader. As she explains, the sins of the society have placed people like Mary in a very desperate situation. As a vulnerable lady, every thing seems unfair to her. At one time, she says, “I nearly died ...

Literary techniques have been thoroughly used in the novels as the authors seek to engage with the imaginative abilities of the reader. The two authors have almost similar use of literary techniques as the two narrations carry the same significance in terms of indulging the audience to relate to a particular factor of event in the literature pieces. Additionally, the two novels use direct stories but with deeper significant meaning which needs the indulgence of comparisons in real life to understand the real intent by the authors. One significant literary technique used in the both novels is symbolism. Symbolism is a ...

There are multiple faces and variances of feminism nowadays, differentiating both geographical as well as cultural (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). The western feminism comprises the values of the developed and partly developing countries, whereas the African and Asian feminism comprises the values of these societies, where besides gender, race is another element that defines women and the feminism discourse (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). But in practice things are much more complex than this simply structured formulation of localized feminism. Looking at the Islamic Asian countries, for instance, there can be observed great differences between women’s condition in Turkey or Egypt, ...

Islam got into West Africa between 100 C.E and 1750 C.E. Thus, Ghana is one of the West African countries that embraced Islam. To begin with, Islam centralized the politics in Ghana and brought in the international attention. Therefore, there was remarkable increase of political unity as observers from other countries were many (McKay, John 9). Additionally, many Ghanaian people come together as a result of Islamic religion which provided universal faith that served the interest of many persons and groups. Consequently, Islam is credited for leading to the creation of Ghana which is a Sudanic state. This is so because ...

Introduction

Religions are characterised by symbols, traditions, narratives, sacred places, people, beings that are intended to explain the origin of life, meaning of life and the universe. Religions have over the years helped define human nature and the known and the unknown world. They have also defined and set standards on ethics, morality and general human lifestyle.
It is estimated that there are about 4,200 religions in the world. The most dominant religions in the ...

Introduction

Thoreau’s civil disobedience emerges from Thoreau’s refusal to pay church tax claiming that the church has no right to impose tax. His reasoning is that if all institutions were to present their tax bills to the government, then he would be bound to pay his; but, there is no justification for “taxing the schoolmaster to support the priest” (Thoreau 49). This implies that though the policy may be ethical, the underlying structure is disputable. His reasoning is influential; it stirs a logical query of every aspect of one’s own life, indicating a close connection between text and action. ...

Changes in Belief System in Europe.

The earliest inhabitants arrived from Africa about 700,000 years ago. This group of people mainly depended on hunting and food gathering. They used hand tools such as axe made of stones. They also made fire to protect themselves from cold weather. History has it that the Neathernals who lived in caves were the first to bury their dead and displayed good social -organizational skills. They also performed rituals and organized themselves into strong social groups.
It was not until 35,000 years later that some technological changes started to sweep through Europe. First was the pressure-flaking technique. This ...

ABSTRACTThis paper explores the many general similarities between Alice Walker’s "The Welcome Table" and Nadine Gordimer’s "Country Lovers", and the ways in which racism is presented by both writers. Both stories condemn the hypocrisy and attack the injustices of racist societies. Both stories have a symbolic element which is examined and discussed and the fact that both stories are set in very different societies and, therefore, have very different contexts and settings is always at the heart of the paper’s argument. Each story is also discussed and explored separately in order to focus on its individual qualities. ...

The changing of perspectives of a primary character is often paramount to a story, and this story is told in a number of different ways. Raymond Carver's “Cathedral” is a small, intimate story, one which effectively revolves around two characters – the narrator, a regular average joe, and Robert, a blind man who is an acquaintance of the narrator’s wife. One fateful night, invited over for dinner, the narrator attempts to understand Robert and his way of life, as well as his relationship to his wife. In the process of this, he begins to understand things about himself, life, and Robert that he could not ...

The year of 1066 is one of the crucial points in the history of England that is why it so often becomes the subject of historic discussions and debates. Numerous books dedicated to this period do not stop to be published. Some historians prefer to concentrate on the Battle of Hastings, some discuss the impact which the Norman invasion had on the native population and some of them talk about the leaders of the warring parties. It seldom occurs however that an author concentrates on personalities of the participants of historical events, trying to present them as the men ...

"Cathedral" by Raymond Carter is a minimalist short story. With that, I mean that the story itself is of a short, chapter-long format, telling a truncated story that does not take place over more than a short period of time. The minimalism in the short story shows the no-frills setting and characterization of the story itself; the tale simply has three characters, very simplistic and uncomplicated plotting, and a larger focus on theme and message than in following a strict story.

The intended audience for "Cathedral" are American readers of short fiction, and those who could potentially relate to the prudish, easily jealous narrator. I ...

Raymond Carver: Cathedral

“Cathedral” tells the story of a man whose insecurity leaves him blind to the world and who further seeks to blind himself from his own feelings by desensitizing himself with drugs and alcohol. The protagonist shows an excruciating lack of connection with his wife, whom he never refers to by name, and always in the third person. Yet, he cares for her, for he feels vulnerable and insecure when confronted with his wife’s friendship with an old blind friend of hers, a spiritual closeness that leaves him unsure as to where he himself fits in her life. In his description ...

“I found it strange that neither I nor the day seemed in a mourning mood and I felt even annoyed at discovering in myself a sensation of freedom as if I had been freed from something by his death” (Joyce 5).

Paraphrase:

This statement was from the first Chapter of Dubliners entitled “The Sisters”, written by James Joyce. Here, the narrator is a young boy who befriended the priest named Father Flynn, who had just died. The boy expressed his strange feelings when he learned that Father Flynn, his mentor had passed away after suffering from three strokes and paralysis. The boy felt ...

The short story cathedral revolves around two men, Robert and the narrator. The narrator’s wife and Robert have not met for the past ten years but have maintained a close contact. The actual context of the story is in the narrator’s house, where Robert is coming to visit after losing his wife. Robert is visiting his wife’s parents when he thinks of visiting the narrator’s wife. The narrator is not enthusiastic about the visit but has to contend with it anyway. The narrator gives a background of his wife, how he had met the blind man and ...

In “Young Goodman Brown,” Nathaniel Hawthorne introduces a strong theme of Puritan religious beliefs. His narrative vehicle for this is Satan who, throughout the story, destroys the protagonist’s faith. “Young Goodman Brown” is of the more well-known stories exploring 17th Century Puritanism and, even on a first read, it is clear why. Hawthorne depicts the chosen situation carefully and convincingly to the reader, not only entertaining them but also informing them as well. Certainly the element of this story that stands out the most dramatically is that of Satan and the means he adopts to manipulate the protagonist. Numerous strategies have ...

Chaucer’s attitude to the Church was ambivalent: it depended on the individual employed by the church. For example, in The General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, he displays enormous admiration for the piety and Christian lifestyle of the poor Parson who will do anything for his parishioners. This character is an exception, however. In his portraits of the Monk, the Prioress and the Friar, Chaucer mocks them for their failure to lead a Christian lifestyle, fitting to their role in society. The monk is harmless enough, but is more interested in hunting than in doing God’s work; the ...

Introduction

The book “Things fall apart” speaks of the collapse or the disintegration of the Igbo culture. The setting is in Nigeria, in the 1890’s. It shows the tense interaction between the Igbo and the Christians and the clash of both cultures. As the Christians preach and try to win converts, they encounter a high degree of resistance as the people cling to their many gods, magic and definitions of taboo behavior.

The Conflict between Christianity and Igbo Culture

The Europeans arrival in Okwonko’s village creates havoc. First of all the Christians believe in one God. He is three in one as He exists in the ...

Tom Sawyer is a book that deals with the adventures and misadventures of Tom Sawyer and his friends. Set in a time when religion was being ‘revived’ time and again while slave trade led to an increasing belief in superstition, the book is replete with instances of Tom, his friends as well as the society at large displaying varying degrees of faith and superstitious belief. Tom is a naughty and often defiant boy.

Despite his Aunt Polly’s best efforts, the boy is simply unmanageable. Although this attitude would lead one to believe that Tom would shun any form of social judgment ...

Chaucer was writing at a time when English life and society were dominated by the Church, and it is no surprise that many of the pilgrims described in The General Prologue were employed by the Church in some capacity or that Chaucer defines them and reacts to them according to their religious beliefs and practices.
The description of the pilgrims starts with the Knight – the person with the highest social status. The knight is one of Chaucer’s most admired pilgrims – but not because of this social status. The reader is expected to admire the knight because of his ...

Islam

The root causes of Islam terror can be traced back to the factors that inform ideologies. Islam terror is based on an ideology. There are two root causes of Islamic terror. One is Islam and the second one is Islamism. Islam is the religious faith and belief of the Muslim people. It is informed by the words and acts of the holy prophet Mohammed. Islam is, however, a lot more than this. It is also the historical aspects of the faith, its literature and texts and leaders. It also incorporates the interpretation of these books and literature. It is ...

It is understood in Christian tradition and theology that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead lies at the heart of Christian practice and theology. The gospel texts are read in Christian tradition as epiphanies while the following texts like Galatians reveal the workings and mechanisms of the early church. This paper explores the history and message of the book of Galatians, paying particular attention to its authorship, its underlying message and its influence in the growth of the early Christian Church and the Christian movement of today.
As Young observes, Jesus did not teach ...

It is worth mentioning that most critics have blamed the Islam religion for the rise of terrorism and other insecurities across the world. The West has been especially critical of anybody that has an Islam background because most terrorists cite the Islamic ideologies to kill others. The religious intolerance has led to misunderstandings between mostly the West and the Islamic countries. The perspective has come to be popularly known as the Islam-West divide by most scholars.
While explaining the Islam-West divide, Nader Hashemi (2014) states that religion and politics have been ...

Exploring he theme of Isolation in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short stories; “The Minister’s Black Veil”, “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Birthmark”
Nathaniel Hawthorne is the author of many short stories in which he portrays his characters with some dilemma where they must make up their minds about what is wrong from what is right. His stories end with morals that can be learned through his characters’ actions. Most of the stories he wrote are filled with themes of guilt and there are many themes of loneliness and sadness. His main characters are reclusive and lived sheltered lives. ...

A look into the work of Fredrick Douglass and Robert Browning shows that the society around them heavily influences their work. While Douglass concentrated on larger social issues such as slavery and false use of religion, Browning looked into the interpersonal relationships of members of their societies. A common aspect of both writings, however, is the social critique that the two writers engage in. Through their work, they attempt to point out at the evils they see in their society, with the hope that their criticism will help change the situation .
Fredrick Douglass, in his poem, a parody, analyzes ...

The church today is facing many problems, which can compare to the challenges experienced during Martin Luther’s time. Martin Luther wrote the 95 theses with the aim of opening up a channel for debate, and some of those challenges are prevalent in the church up to date. The church today has been caught up in a mix-up of sin and desire for worldly material and whenever the people need to seek repentance, they go for repentance and reconciliation from their priests in order to obtain mercy and forgiveness. After the session is over, they leave with the notion ...

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

It is in the nation’s best interest that youth complete as high a level of education as they are capable because dropping out of school can greatly diminish an individual’s chances in life and the ability to contribute to the community. Indeed, participation in tertiary education promotes national economy and innovation (Wierenga, Landstedt, & Wyn 2013, p. 3). The factors that compromise a young person’s ability to obtain a tertiary level education are socioeconomic disadvantage, rural location, and being an indigenous Australian (Wierenga, Landstedt & Wyn 2013, p. 4). Stafford, et al. (2007, Mental Health, para. 1) define ...

1.2 Religion, Mega Events, and Tourism
1.2.1 Introduction
This section seeks to discuss into detail the association and interrelationship between religion, mega events, and tourism. In essence, the section reviews some of the perspective, observations, and critiques of these three aspects by previous authors. Jafari (1988) acknowledges that sporting events such as the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, Expo, and other related competitions which mostly attract audience from every part of the globe play a significant role in determining the tourism patterns. Understandably, they provide tourism opportunities for the host countries bearing in mind that visitors flock into the ...

Death is the expression of life. It has a double sense and a double meaning in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”. The funeral ceremony, mourning, revenging, talking with ghosts or committing suicidal acts represent passages in the circularity of life, based on various cultural or religious beliefs.
The Christian tradition implies a funeral ceremony for the dead people. Hamlet’s father did not benefit of such a ceremony after he was murdered by his brother, Claudius, who later took his throne and his wife. Nevertheless, prince Hamlet is permanently mourning him through his acts, through his perceived madness, illusory estate, and mixed thoughts: revenging ...

Women have long been considered second class citizens (if considered citizens at all!) throughout the course of world history. Often dismissed from history books, I feel that it is important to recognize their role in Spanish colonialism. By carefully analyzing important events, I endeavor to draw out examples of how women have helped shape the Spanish colonies and the great danger they were put in my Spanish Inquisitors. By looking at gender roles one can determine how these roles played a part in the Spanish society and how they have changed. I propose that women did indeed provide instrumental support ...

The complete failure of the Arab nations to form a national narrative for the purpose of unification and the establishment of contemporary egalitarian polities happens to be the primary cause behind the ongoing socio-political explosion in the Arab world in recent times. Unity is no longer the major goal and the construction of a society that is capable of mobilizing its resources to combat backwardness and enhance the financial condition of the state has taken a backseat. The elite class has instead tried to enforce a brand of unity via Islam and Arab nationalism that has alienated portions of the population not present ...

Religions have been a part of every nation’s history and tradition since the start of civilizations. They have played key roles in creating tradition and belief, even influencing the creation of suitable government and laws for people to follow. These religions try to satisfy the question of the existence of life, the idea of what is God and the concept of spirituality and human responsibility. While some of them have considered that there is only one God or a Supreme Being that watches the existence of man and the presence of life and death, they still differ in understanding the ...

This chapter presents a detailed review of various literature materials from independent sources that provide information about the effort by the department of homeland security to deter domestic terrorism. As earlier mentioned in the first chapter domestic violence entails carrying out criminal activities within the homeland while getting inspiration from extremist movements and ideologies based within the US. Such activities have lead to the killing of innocent American citizens and destruction of property around the country. In most cases, prosecution of these criminal activities is not done under terrorism laws despite their nature of being considered terrorist activities. Even though ...

In Prefatory Notes Freud speculates about the political systems of USSR, Italy, and German and concludes that abandoning of the religion, as it is in the Soviet Union, can lead to more freedom, including sexual one but this can be harmful to people because it leads to barbarism. On the other hand, Catholic Church in Italy does its best to protect culture along with other moral issues though it is the enemy of freedom of thought. Then the author speculates about contradictions between the Church and psychoanalysis that cannot exist together in peace. (Freud 89-92)
Section I. 1 Historical ...

The Bible teaches Christians that the first human beings were created in the image of God and as his representations on earth, they are unique than any other creation. That makes human life very serious and special in ways that are beyond human understanding, and that is the very base upon which Christians believe that as long as human life has been pronounced to be in existence, then it should remain sacred (Delkeskamp- Hayes & Imrenyi 2013). On the topic of abortion, Christianity holds the belief that as long as a fetus has been conceived, and the heart starts to ...

There have been numerous studies that have been conducted into the relationship between the weight of a woman and the quantity of breastmilk produced. Evidence has shown that there is a huge variation in the quantity of breastmilk that is produced on the basis of the size of the woman. This is because the body of a woman has a relationship to the composition of breastmilk and the rate of production that comes with the components of milk secreted by the glands. This is often marked by the fact that there is a negative relationship between the size of ...

Health care professionals including nurses, doctors, and clinical officers among others come into contact with patients of various faiths on a daily basis. As such, health providers have an obligation of understanding each of these faiths to provide healthcare to all their patients (Ammerman, 2005). However, since it is practically impossible for a given healthcare provider to master everything about every religion around the world, they must always ask their patients directly about their faith and what role it may play in their healing.

Islamic architecture is based on the traditions of the Muslim community dating as far back as the seventh century. It is well elaborated in traditional Muslim religious buildings such as the mosque and the madrasa. It is believed that the early Islamic architecture drew its designs from Christian architectural features which included columnar arches, mosaics, and domes. Additionally, the architecture included characteristics such as semicircular horseshoe arch and rich decorated surfaces (Ali et.al, 15). On the other hand, modern architecture is used to refer to architectural designs that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century and extensively ...

Lila Abu-Lughod’s article “The Muslim woman: The power of images and the danger of pity” has been praised by many readers. Lila Abu-Lughod’s article is a criticism of how people from West view the Muslim women from the Middle East ever since the September 11 attacks. She writes that thinking the “burqa” as something that besets Muslim women of their freedom is a “reductive interpretation” and should be resisted. According to her, by denouncing “the burqa as a medieval or patriarchal imposition,” the West is actually rudely encroaching on the thoughts and understandings of women because they know what they ...

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

They all agreed that in order to achieve this, keen interest should be paid to the permeability, strength, and durability of the mixture. Finally, they added that for effective control of corrosion, ...
