Defining race as a political sociological theory

Race remains one the controversial topics that raise a heated debate among scholars and members of the public. For many years, the debate has revolved on whether the term race is effectively used in promoting diversity, cohesiveness and regional integration or not. Some people hold the view that the term race has been misused by political leaders in dividing people along ethnic and tribal lines. Another section of people believe that leaders have used the race to promote peace, diversity and regional integration. Based on these assertions, most people prefer not discussing issues related to race in the public because ...

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...

This paper will argue that despite habit, custom, and the existence of God, one does not know in fact if the future will be a resemblance of the past. Basing on the works of famous philosophers Immanuel Kant and David Hume, we’ll come to the conclusion that no one can foresee one’s future even on the basis of strict knowledge of the past and even having habits and customs that presumably have to lead to some definite outcome. The two thinkers argued about those things, and using their ideas we’ll substantiate the thesis under consideration.

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

Historically, Thomas Jefferson is most frequently portrayed as one of America’s Founding Fathers. Even in contemporary politics, segments in the United States seek to align themselves with Jeffersonian principles and wisdom. Jefferson did indeed have a lot to say about politics and principles, one of his main campaigns during his tenure as Founding Father was a vehement demand for religious liberty. In an oft quoted speech, Jefferson avowed, “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man,” a phrase engraved on his monument on the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. ...

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom.

In the midst of a globalized world, it becomes vital to appreciate the varying types of economies carried by different nations and cultures. When examining the effects and attributes of capitalism as a whole, it is necessary to understand that not all capitalisms are created equal.

However, within these two major groupings there are many different types of capitalism, which all have their differences that make their particular brand of society unique.

The Freedman’s bureau is otherwise known as the United States bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned lands (Freedman's Bureau Act of 1865, 2009). This bureau was formed between 1861 and 1865 with the sole purpose of taking care of the black slaves and the poor whites that lived in the south after the war. Over four million blacks gained their freedom after the Union won the war (Dickerson, 1877). As a result, they were poor and suffered great distress. The reason for this poverty is that most of the economies in the south were entirely dependent of plantation farming. ...

The paper argues about the human mind exhibits unity; that it can perceive various activities occurring at the same time together as elements of a single conscious state. The unity of consciousness is fundamental to human cognitive functions. It is the basis in which we merge our senses and our minds to recognise, act and react. The unified consciousness is responsible for our ability to make comparisons based on our senses weaving it into one experience.

The notion of the unity of consciousness is the basis of cognitive research stemming from notable work by Descartes, Leibniz and Kant. Descartes’ argument ...

The purpose of this research is to analyze the process creating, SB 4, the legislation on hydraulic fracking as an opportunity to understand how and why the fracking issue gained enough momentum to reach the level of legislative decision. Policies that reach the decision-making level on a legislative agenda have been driven to that level by internal and external factors of the government (Kingdon, 1995). The factors and actors that worked together to put ‘fracking’ on the agenda of the California Assembly and Senate are interesting because of the wide range of opinions held by the proponents ...

This is a question that films like Raging Bull and The Godfather Part 1 attempt to answer. These films feature "bad" boys who resort to socially unapproved and criminal behavior and still seem to get away with it. In a world where societies make the rules, perhaps their appeal lies in their ability to bend and break those rules. Nevertheless, there are reasons why they seem so untouchable—reasons that have to do with their immediate context, their thinking and their values. This paper will attempt to analyze those reasons.
The film Raging Bull (1980) is arguably a film about lust, ...

Thesis Statement

Algebra is one of the broadest terms used in the field of mathematics with its application in real life situations traceable way back in the ancient Babylonian times over four thousand years ago. The development of algebra was based on finding a solution to solving arithmetic equations mostly in the religious rituals and dilemmas. Most of the renown historical mathematicians such Rene Descartes made some of the major contributions to the development of the modern algebra whereby he came up with la geometre, a publication which focused on improving problem solving techniques in the field of geometry.

Indeed, Gawain’s rant, which takes place near the end of the classic medieval poem, is part of an ancient literary tradition that reaches into the distant past. And yet Gawain is also a contradictory figure, a knight errant critical of women in the story and yet a hero who bore the image of the Virgin Mary ...
