In his story The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien ostensibly tells a tale about the war in Vietnam that, in actuality, is a mirror of the human condition exposed through the horror of human conflict. In so doing, O’Brien uses an old philosophical theme first set in writing by Aristotle. Through the angst of conflict, O’Brien succeeds in demonstrating the essence of being. Aristotle pointed out that to be complete in essence; a being must be “in the is, and in the is not” (Aristotle 1050). That is, a whole human is the product of both ...

Communication is a vital facet in today's’ social setting. The complexities emergent in the current settings are as a result of divergent contributing factors that entwine to yield an amiable stance. In different cultural settings, there are belief systems that are both emergent and sustained based on different contributing reasons. For example, most cultural festivities are as a result of an incident(s) that happened in the past which individuals and communities hold with high esteem. Such incidences are celebrated mostly with a lot of marrying, pomp and color. However, there is a challenge that emanates from fathoming the origin of a given cultural practice. ...

Jules Verne is arguably one of the most prescient science-fiction authors in history – his works are remembered for their vast imagination and endlessly prescient views into the future of science and the exciting nature of their adventures. One of his most well known works, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, is on its surface a fantastical tale of a group of men who stumble upon the secret submarine Nautilus, commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. However, closer examination of the novel itself reveals Verne’s penchant for social commentary and intricate political subtext, as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea becomes a ...

The world is not at ease as it is, this is a common phrase since when analyzing various factors in the modern world, when we analyze various aspects of the modern day we can reveal the urge in many to go back to the uncivilized world or try to revive outdated traditions. There are no more traditional ceremonies or the natural flow of customs from one generation to another, no more songs and rituals.
Exile is a form of a punishment whereby one has to leave their homes to a city region or another state usually from threats of imprisonment or death ...

W.H. Auden's poem "Say the City Has Ten Million Souls,"

ABSTRACT
Analysis of the Auden's (1939) poem, "Say This city Has Ten Million Souls" provides the opportunity for connecting the social precepts of place and displacement offered by Aschcroft et al (1989) for explaining the plight of the refugee as marginalized by the host society. In doing so, the poem becomes a lens for understanding the use of Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis Model for assessing the three dimension of literature. The outcome of the following academic discussion provides a tapestry of the psychological, emotional, and social, challenges of the human ...

The Holy Bible which is considered a sacred book by all Christians presents to humanity God, who is an all powerful and the creator of heaven and earth. Through it, and more specifically in the Old Testament, God reveals himself to those people who seek to know and understand him therefore making these people his own. Both the prophets, the teachers of the law and the authors of the books of the bible acknowledge this fact and seek to explain how God is and how he relates to his people in a couple of ways. This leads to the understanding of ...

African resistance to colonial powers has an extensive history that dates before the nineteenth century. The responses to colonial rule varied by location, religion, and resources that included both violent and nonviolent tactics. It is important to note that most rebellions were complex and strategically planned in the rising intolerance of colonial rule on the continent of Africa. Although Europeans aimed to divide and conquer, they did not always successfully change relationships among African communities who worked together in resistance.
Nonetheless, foreign colonial powers were successful in recruiting tribes to assist in conquering other tribes who were in conflict. ...

Feminism in Mahfouz's Palace Walk, Nadine Gordimer's None to Accompany Me and J.M. Cotzee's Disgrace

Abstract

Naguib Mahfouz, J. M. Coetzee and Nadine Gordimer are three African Nobel laureates who depicted feminism by showing their central women characters transgress tradition. If Amina, the protagonist of Palace Walk, transgressed tradition by going out on her own to the mosque for prayer, Lucy fought tradition by claiming her right not to take a part in the system of oppression and enters into an impossible relationship of her time by marrying a black man. Vera plays the role reversal by being the party who betrays ...

Introduction

Juan Peron – at least according to Minster (n.d.) – was a “Giant of Argentine Politics.” Elected no less than three times as President of Argentina (1946, 1951 and 1973), Minster claims that Peron was an “extraordinarily skilled politician” and had “millions of supporters even during his years of exile (1955-1973).” This paper seeks to determine if those views were shared by the ordinary citizens of Argentina during Peron’s rule as dictator.

The Research

Peron’s background. Minster related that although born near to Buenos Aires, Peron grew up in Patagonia until he went to the military academy at age 16, then joined ...

INTRODUCTION

The history of human civilization is built upon the names, actions, and achievements of people whose contributions have an impact on society. Some of these people and events, be they famous or infamous, become part of the paradigm of the cultures all over the world. In a diverse world, it is not surprising that sometimes society does not always see eye to eye on some of the events that make up history. These actions and impacts may be perceived by some as wrong, while others may support the individual wholeheartedly. That is most certainly the case with Edward Snowden. One ...

Abstract

For the purpose of this paper, I will be discussing the East Pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, as well as a terracotta bell-krater attributed to the Methyse Painter, and comparing both works in terms of their composition, formal elements, and cultural context. The selection of these works allows for two central activities of the Greeks to be compared, especially ones represented by their own divine figures. The east pediment and the Dionysian vase feature two distinct sides of Greek culture – the former showcasing Greek’s love of justice, and the latter the Greek’s love of wine ...

Sophocles was a fifth century Greek writer whose play Oedipus Rex was exalted by Aristotle in Poetics as the perfect tragedy as it invokes both fear and pity in the audience. Aristotle explains that a tragic hero is one who is befallen by tragedy brought about primarily by factors usually outside the control of the aforementioned hero thus possessing a noble sense and attaining stature in the society. The hero he however argues is not an embodiment of righteousness but rather an ordinary man prone to the common failings of man but who stands up for his values. His fall is also ...

Iraq is a nation that is dreaded globally, by other countries.

Elusive Objectivity: Historical Interpretation and the Reality of Sino-Tibetan Relations

Many of the various histories written about the tumultuous relationship between China and Tibet offer polarized accounts of an international controversy that has come to define the struggle for ethnic identity and political autonomy. Indeed, it is a conflict fought as much in the media and the international consciousness of the global community as it has been contested on the battlefield and behind closed doors between charismatic political leaders like the Dalai Lama and Mao Zedong. The historians and authors who have chronicled a struggle that spanned the 20th century have, in general, seen the matter in terms of Tibetan sovereignty ...
