Essays on Father.

Hedda Gabler, written by Henrik Ibsen and published in 1890, is a play in four acts and a social drama which achieved a very high psychological depth. The play investigates the feminine character in a society that was male-centered at the time. Frustration is reflected through the actions, behavior and perception of a woman, whose only wish was to achieve freedom, happiness and independence. Gabler is her father’s name which suggests that she is a woman who respects her father and her own family more than her husband and his family. I found the play interesting and at ...

We face with problems in conversation every day. Either we serve wrongly the information, or other person is not able to decode it correctly. Recently, by facing with the problem of communication, I have concluded that the quality of the communication process depends in many ways on understanding the specifics of communication, and especially an understanding of the impact of relational environment. These two principles are inseparable. The result of the communication process depends on understanding the specifics of interpersonal communications. As proof, here is an example from my own experience. The situation occurred when I was in the ...

The United States has always been a multinational country, and immigrants have always constituted a significant percentage of the American population. Thousands of people from all over the world come here to find something they lack in their home countries – stability, prosperity, even happiness, and they stay here for years, generation after generation. But is it true to say that these people become American citizens, acquiring the same rights as Americans? In “When the Emperor was Divine” Julie Otsuka answers this question, and the answer seems to be – no, it is not. According to the novel, immigrants are vulnerable ...

The first movie chose is Dead Poets` Society (1989). This film tells the story about John Keating, eccentric teacher, who inspires students of a conservative American college to be creative, to make own choice in their lives. Though the main character in this movie is Keating, for this paper I chose another character of the film – Neil Perry, a student who became the victim of his parents` prejudice. Neil Perry is a student at the college who dream to become an actor. But his parents, especially his father, are sure that the best career choice for their son is ...

<Institution> During a child’s formative years, their ability to create arts gradually develops. Based on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (2015), art is “something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.” On the average, a toddler at 15 months can already scribble, while at 18 months, he/she may already be able to “paint” using crayons and other art tools with whole hands (“Drawing,” n.d.). When toddlers start conveying meaning to their artworks, they will also have a mental plan of what they want to draw before they start ...

Mary Shelley’s seminal science fiction novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus deals greatly with the creation of life, man’s role in it, and where the cruelty of a being can come from. In many ways, the book’s titular scientist, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, is just a pioneer attempting to expand man’s understanding of life and death, his experiments meant to help mankind cheat their own mortality and provide a better future to people. However, the creature that is created is born into a world that categorically rejects him as a freak; as a result, the monster ...

In this paper, I discuss how the existence of man and its insatiable desire for economic growth and progress is ironically leading to environmental destruction and the disruption of this world’s natural balance. In order to prove this point, I am going to rely on my family’s experience and my personal observations. After all, experience would always turn out to be the best teacher. My family came from Chengdu, a village in the southwestern part of China. As the second child in a family of five, I have grown up differently from how my father and his ...

David L. Smith states that Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the story of slavery and freedom, death and rebirth (to escape from his father, Huck cleverly faked his own death) has not only specific, but also a symbolic meaning. This novel is not only about the legalized slavery of black Americans, but also about the lack of freedom of the white man, enslaved by social conventions and prejudices of the environment, not only about the "revival" of the hero after his supposed death, but also about the actual birth of his personality, which gained emotional breadth. Huck’s and ...

I chose William Faulkner’s short story A Rose for Emily for this essay. The work was first published in 1930. The movie I used for comparison appeared in 1983 and was filmed by Lyndon Chubbuck. Both film and story have similar main aspects. They describe a death and life of 74-year-old Emily Grierson who was a town’s heritage. People found that the woman killed her lover Homer Barron and lived with his body like with husband for many years. While Chubbuck saved the main idea, he made several changes that had impact on movie’s perception.

Introduction

Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mocking Bird is a unique story, which provides insight into the issue of inequality that existed between the black and white races during the 1930s. The Book is based on the author’s observation of the society during that era and reflected the biased and hypocritical views and actions of the members of the society. Although the book is relatively old and the inequality between the white and black races has been significantly eliminated from society, some resemblance can still be found in the modern day the United States of America and ...

The novel “We are All Completely Alone” is about Cooke’s family with the narrator being Rosemary Cooke. It shows the nature and nurturing that can take place between two different species.

Faith is a topic of unending debate between opinions of various people. It’s also a bundle of questions and answers; enigmas and mysteries to solve. It’s like a labyrinth of life. Many people attempt to explain different aspects of it. Some statements matter more; some become revolutionary while some are unheard of. Many of these opinions affected numerous lives or way of lives, and two of this life changing statements about faith – specifically about the sin of humanity and how God saved humanity – are from Athanasius and Anselm.

There can be no denial of the fact that the novel, The Color Purple, penned by Alice Walker goes on to delve deep into the concept of identity and existence via the portrayal of the character of Celie, the female protagonist of the novel.

For the cultural immersion project I have chosen to learn more about the Eastern Europe, as I believe that I lack relevant and unbiased knowledge about Slavic culture, their values, attitudes and traditions. Therefore, I asked my friend from Ukraine to let me spend a day with her family, who has recently emigrated from Eastern Europe. I really did not know much about Ukrainians, so I thought that such an experience will be particularly beneficial for my personal growth. My friend and her family were happy to help and organized everything to make the experience interesting and useful. I ...

The Epic of Gilgamesh was an ancient myth that described the stories and struggles of a Mesopotamian hero (i.e. Gilgamesh). The Old Testament, on the other hand, particularly the book of Genesis tells numerous tales of God’s followers, how they were challenged, and how they triumphed. One common feature between the two is the fact that they both contained flood stories. The way how the flood stories were portrayed in each book, however, was different. Firstly, the duration of the flooding was different. In Epic of Gilgamesh, the flood only lasted for seven days as evidenced by the ...

Problem-solving and decision making has ever been the main reason for the continuous need for and acquisition of knowledge. However, the complexity of various problems and the information available to make decisions requires more information and knowledge is not available from one main source. Being the most complicated field of study due to the unpredictability, human behavior, emotions, and personalities require more consultation and involvement to deal with (Zey, 2008). As it is in many cases and with our case study here, a case may seem simple when viewed through the eyes and the theoretical study of one profession. ...

Analysis of James Joyce’s ‘Dubliners’

Quite a few of the short stories in the Dubliners collection of James Joyce are more of his personal memories as well as various sentiments that he holds. The Sisters, The Araby, and Evelin, are all stories which are more of a characterization of his later works. The narrators of all the stories of Joyce tend to disband into the language out of which they actually evolve. In these stories, rather than having speakers who relate themselves to the readers of the stories, the readers are actually seen being related to the language spoken by the narrators and the ...

In, “Rhetorical Silence: “Seventeen Syllables”, “Yoneko’s Earthquake” and the “Legend of Miss Sasagawara”, Cheung talks about the silence of the main characters in the short stories. The silence of the characters is mainly due to their culture- in this instance Japanese culture which teaches both men and women not to show their emotion outwardly but rather suffer in silence. However in all the three short stories the author mentions that there happens a dialogue between the characters through physical actions rather than a verbal communication. Cheung focuses on the physical communication and says that instead of the verbal ...

Over ages, the claim that honesty is the best policy has elicited endless debates regarding its validity. Across cultures, religions, and generations, people have always emphasized the need to uphold the highest moral standards for the well-being of the society and the people. Most people feel that being honest is a good vice while others think that there is no harm in not being honest. Either way, there is a compelling justification that honesty, which should be practiced by all people at all times, is better. According to Rogers (162), honesty is the best policy because it brings forth ...

Bowen’s Family Systems Model Theory is a theory that explains how human being behave. It uses the family as the central unit that affects to a large extent the emotional condition of a member of the family. Family members are related and thus affect the emotional condition of each other. Despite the fact that it is not openly viewed, family members are connected despite the distance or any disagreements that may keep them apart. They influence each other’s emotions, actions, feelings, and thoughts. They also respond to each other’s needs and wants, give support, approval, and ...

Wilt Thou not revive us again?

The concept of revival for the nation of Israel is often uniting once more with their God. Israel is notorious for forgetting the ways of God and following strange gods or falling into sinful ways. Every time God is unable to bear the unfaithfulness of His people, he would inflict them with some form of hardship. For example, occupation by a foreign power. The revival that this verse refers to is on these lines. The nation pleads with God to remember the old covenants to their forefathers in Abraham and Jacob. They also place their supplications in the matter ...

Adolescence, as we know, is a period of puberty, a period of becoming sexually mature. On the one hand, individuals in the period of adolescence become ready for sexual relationships physiologically. On the other hand, most of the teens are not prepared for sexual relationship emotionally, psychologically, etc. That is why the sexual activity of adolescents is associated with different risk factors and negative outcomes. Rector and colleagues conducted the study of approximately 6500 individuals of age 14-17 and investigated how the sexual activity of teen boys and teen girls influences their feeling of unhappiness and depression. Results of ...

The beginning of America was marked by a revolution. During this period, only men were called to arms though a significant number of female Americans dressed in the attire of the then Revolutionary Army battled against the British Army. Deborah Sampson was one of those women. For Deborah Sampson, joining the army was not an easy task; she had to overcoming insurmountable challenges as a child, and though she was determined to join the coveted army, she was denied that chance at first, and had to disguise herself as a man to be allowed in the army to fight ...

Introduction

There are many important works in Christian history and are well worth the time to read and digest them. This paper focuses on an excellent contemporary of Christ Himself, the apostle Paul. Paul is one of the most prolific writers of the time and one who chooses to give his readers a vivid and wholesome account of Christ and His love for us. Research into the writings of Paul helps the reader to understand the method of communication that Paul used. Since the writings of Paul are mostly in a letter format, it is worth investigating in the context ...

In James Weldon Johnson’s

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man For the novice reader, James Weldon Johnson’s fictional odyssey of a biracial individual is difficult to classify. It neither is an autobiography on race relations nor is it a celebration of racial identity. Rather, it is a compelling narrative on an individual’s perception of race. The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man also provides awareness of how racial identity influences the connection to community identity or dampens the bond. The author’s narrative provides a stark portrait of a young man’s coming of age in a world that he cannot fully ...

Religious roles in Catholic Catholicism

In the modern Encyclopedia, the Catholic Church has demonstrated dichotomous levels in explaining their understanding of the true son of God, Jesus. Catechism acted as an expose used to how doctrines served in the Catholicism via the provision of sacraments as a source of religious teaching. They are put in question forms so that trainers and believers can use them to know Christ in a spiritual kind of growth. The practice emanated primarily from the Greco-Roman empires. It was some manual with many questions that are answerable via teachings of Christ. It is through such testimonies that the holy ...

The background to this Greek poem, The Iliad of Homer, is the war between the Trojans and the Achaians. The Greek warriors sieged a city on the shores of Turkey, and were opposed by the Trojans. The main purpose of this war was to rescue Helen of Troy (Sparta). This poem could be an imaginary expression of events, yet it could also be the historical recordings of a real war. There is, however, the dispute of the date of the poem and the date of the war that makes it invalid as an eyewitness record. Even so, the beauty ...

Gender roles exist in all cultures and define the expected behaviors of one versus another gender (Weiten 320). In Western cultures, gender roles are beginning to change but this is a slow process and involves the evolution of belief over many years. Gender roles are taught through family values, religious teachings, and social interactions (Weiten 320-321) and reiterated daily by the media (Signorielli 4). The way male and female characters are portrayed both reflect and reinforce gender roles. Character success in a television show may even be determined by how dramatically that character violates their assigned role. Often television ...

Introduction

Racial profiling is the targeting of a particular race for a particular crime. The practice was rampant from the time before the Civil War. African-Americans frisked by police from the street irrespective of their status (free or enslaved) were a common practice. The punishments for criminals differed as per color of the skin until the end of the crack cocaine period. The practice is unwelcome with minority communities since it often results in unfair treatment. An African-American or Hispanic origin civilian has higher chances of police questioning him compared to a Caucasian. In addition, the post-9/11 era comprises of ...

One of the most famous prayers in Christianity, if not in the entire history of the world, is the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. What is interesting in the passage is that Jesus is going above and beyond simply giving his disciples a prayer; he is also giving them a format by which they should pray. This essay examines the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. It explores the focus of prayer itself, the relationship expressed through the prayer, the reverence in which God is held, and the requests made by the one praying. Additionally, the righteousness sought ...

The origin and growth of psychology as a branch of study can be attributed to several factors dated back to centuries. This discipline emerged and developed as a philosophical thought since the time of the Greek thinkers Plato and Aristotle and European thinkers like John Locke and Charles Darwin. The Greek philosophers discussed the innate abilities of human mind whereas British philosopher Locke considered human mind as a blank paper or slate on which every experience of an individual is permanently written (Schultz and Schultz 3). Darwin examined some adaptive abilities that are common in ...

“I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life,” Virginia Woolf confessed in Moments of Being. It is how she defined her enquiring mind that actually gave birth to the finest works in British literature. During Virginia Woolf’s entire life, she was borrowing her insights and gathering her feelings from ordinary weaving people, emotions, and incidents into completely modern lines. In fact, the external daily life was ingrained in the inner flow of author’s mind. No other writer was able to react so accurately to the constant change that took place in ...

Growing up as a boy in a patriarchal society is more difficult than it may seem. As I grew up in a traditional family with two working parents and an older sister, I occasionally grew envious of my sister’s freedom to adopt behaviors, hobbies, or clothing styles which are typically assigned to men, while at the same time, I was constantly pressured to eliminate any trace of characteristics that are typically assigned to women. I believe that my family and the other gendered structures I came in contact with, such as the school or the media, did a ...

Jesus Christ is, regardless of what one believes about his divinity, undoubtedly one of the most important historical figures in human history. His legacy today is indicated by the 34,000 different denominations and sects of Christianity comprising 2.4 billion Christians—a full third of the world’s population (Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, n.p.). But in order to fully appreciate what it means to follow Jesus, one has to look at the world in which he preached, and the state of his following by the end of the first millennium. Jesus’s teachings had unique features that stood ...

1. Introduction As with much of Europe, the course of British society was irreversibly altered as a result of the Great Wars of the 20th Century. Perhaps during no other time period is this as evident then upon analyzing the working class culture within the United Kingdom and how it is was literally revolutionized between the two wars. The shift centers on the notion that a generational gap exists within British society that draws a clear line in how individuals living in the early 20th century viewed consumerism, and how those save views evolved during the course of the ...

There is a saying that silence is gold and evidence of it one may observe while watching masterpieces from Silent Era. One cannot help but notice how loud silent films are.

Skillfully and subtly Ozu presents adult problems, tough struggle in earning money, interpretation of social positions and adjustment and all these things come from children`s perspective.

Abraham The The Father of Many Nations (Genesis 17:1-8) So the Abram was renamed to Abraham. “As a guarantee of the fact that the child of the covenant would soon be born, God changes Abrams name. He would no longer be Abram (“exalted father”); he would now be Abraham (“father of many”). So we can see that this rename was as a consequence of the great deal between God Father (father of all), and with Abraham (Father of many). Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’ ...

Isaac is one of the most distinctive figures of the Old Testament. He played an important part between his father Abraham and son Jacob. The Biblical book Genesis describes his course of life.

A Rose for Emily constitute the crucial part of Faulkner's art. Analyzing the plot, background, and chronological order it becomes clear that Faulkner managed to develop his own manner of novelistic narration. The short stories of the writer were equally popular as his novels, and such stories as A Rose for Emily were widely appraised by critics and shared the most revered places among the representatives of the «big» genre. Indeed, by determining Faulkner's contribution to world literature, many English-speaking critics underlined that the writer's genius manifested itself in both genres, despite the complexity of the style that he ...

Such notions as “Deeds” and “Goods” appear in the context in order to show reader the difference between them. Goods contribute to luxury life, but they cannot share with Everyman his trip to God.

There is a strong relation of historical period, the time to what is depicted in various art works.

Introduction

Mental events as asserted in behaviorism are considered to be unscientific and embrace the use of practical experiment in the collection of data other than the use of mental processes. Behaviorism, as argued by the different scholars of psychology, is an approach that is employed in the study of both animal and human behavior and holds that the conduct can be measured. However, it is paramount to appreciate the fact that the behaviorist denies the use of human mind and hold that behavior is an essential tool that can be utilized in the psychological studies. However, it is important ...

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

In Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” the author paints a rather effective picture of heartbreak. However, rather than showing the devastation of Louise Mallard’s devastation upon hearing news of her husband’s accidental death in the train wreck, Chopin takes an unexpected turn. As the reader experiences Louise’s shock at the news of her husband’s death one is led to believe that she is overwhelmed with shock and unable to comprehend the tragedy of becoming a widow. Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...

The narrative of this story goes on to explore the issues of loyalty and trust between a father and a son, and thus works as an exploratory commentary on human relationships and values.

Christianity, after the resurrection of Jesus went through a lot of phases before it was transmitted from Ancient Israel to Europe as the main religion. This period is generally viewed as the era of “early Christianity”.

Due to this, Christianity was practiced secretly in the underground and many women were involved in it. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the role of women in early Christianity.
