Education is sought for by almost everyone in this world. The reason for this is that the majority of the people think that it is only through education that they can improve their lives, especially in the social and economic perspective. It is due to this perspective, however, that the real purpose of education becomes unrealized. This was the main theme of the seminar of David Helfand entitled “Undergraduate Education for the New Millenium: Starting From Scratch,” which can be viewed in YouTube. As I reflect on the said seminar, I have felt a certain degree of guilt, and at ...

The Scrivener’

Perhaps the most sophisticated aspect of Melville’s story is in how effectively he lures the reader into focusing on the character of Bartleby. The scrivener’s inscrutability is oddly compelling and invites one to try and “understand” Bartleby, to fashion a diagnosis, even imagine a treatment or cure. But the story is about perspective itself, the perspective of the lawyer, who can only assess and try to make sense of his enigmatic clerk within the confines of his own singular world view. True, his is the ethic of Wall Street and the pragmatic rationalism that defines the class of people ...

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's existentialist 1864 novel Notes from the Underground tells the tale of the Underground Man, a rambling, incoherent, and bitter civil servant in St. Petersburg. The novel's story is told from the perspective of this strange and mercurial character, in the form of monologues and diary entries that convey the man's potentially skewed perspective. While we see the world through his eyes (and therefore his morals), the Underground Man is most decidedly an anti-hero in his actions and attitudes. Unlike most virtuous heroes in fiction, an anti-hero does not fight for a greater cause, nor does he stand up for ...

It is a million dollar question. What makes a good piece of literature? What makes a memorable piece of music? The question applies to every medium of art in factwhat makes the work of a human worth seeing, worth reading, listening, feeling or watching, studying. And the answer too is simple enough. Any work of art that conveys an idea in its purity and freshness no matter where the looking glass is aimed at, from whichever perspective, is worthy of note. Literature can transmit ideas from ages past, to demographics wide, mould itself into fashions and traditions and yet mean something different to ...

In addition to the fact that Tiebout's assumptions are unrealistic, as mentioned before, even with these assumptions he did not provide a mathematical proof of the equilibrium in his article. Some scholars tried to formalize the model and suggest that the model does not work as we would expect from a pareto optimal general equilibrium model. Bewley (1981) showed that Tiebout equilibrium does not have a Pareto optimal solution unless we add some other restrictive assumptions to the model. He provided a series of examples which highlights the inefficiency of Tiebout model. Moreover, as the reviewed literature shows, relaxing Tiebout’s assumption does ...

“I remember the very day that I became colored,” writes Zora Neale Hurston in her essay, How It Feels to Be Colored Me. This statement at the beginning of her essay immediately demonstrates the perspective Hurston adapts throughout her essay, that race is a matter of external more than internal perspective.

Before that day, however, Hurston exhibits a social curiosity and extroversion not typical for the all-black town of Eatonville, Florida where she grew up. For other members of Eatonville, white Northerners traveling through town were avoided. While they stayed in their homes peeking out behind curtains, Hurston would sit on ...
