Dada: From Disgust to Spontaneity

“If all of a sudden your head begins to crackle with laughter, if you find all your ideas useless and ridiculous, know that it is Dada beginning to speak to you” (Hentea 161). We may define this passage to be rather symptomatic: it conveys a state of mind of people (mainly, related to art in a broad sense, and that means someone who reflects) before and during World War I. How could the massacre run up to such an extent? This acute feeling of absurd constituted the dadaist agenda. Switzerland was a neutral country at that time and many ...

There are many different types of ethnic and racial groups in our country. The number of different races are more prominent than what there was a century ago. The way we react to other people has changed as well. People often react towards other people’s racial backgrounds because of reason that may have occurred personally, or due to worldwide situations. Reactions have a huge impact on prior experiences, situations, and events that can change how we perceived people of different races. These experiences can be negative or positive, but can change the way we react to others due ...

Biography on Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, Zitkala-Sa (Red Bird)

Make an argument, using the information presented in the biography and citing specific evidence from the biography, that Zitkala-Sa participated in the winning of the west but yet at the same time she also protested the white domination she experienced. Zitkala-Sa also known as Bonnin was a talented person of mixed race. She knew that to hate some people or certain culture was itself sinful. Hence, she tried through her intelligent writing to educate both the white and her Native American people to embrace change and bridge their cultural gaps. Yeah! It is true Zitkala helped her community the ...

It is true that people experience changes in their lives as they grow older (Gordon, Dan, & Page 73). As a young boy, reading and writing were a great challenge to me. I was in constant collision with my teachers over poor reading and writing abilities. My poor reading and writing skills almost brought an end to my learning as it made me hate education. I was the subject of ridicule and embarrassment in reading and writing sessions. I had to try extra hard to improve my reading and writing abilities in order to continue with my education. My older ...

1) What is your opinion on hate crime legislation? Is it justifiable? Why/ Why not? In my opinion hate crime criminalization is justified as it helps in protecting citizens from all types of violence which is based on their appearance, their sexual preferences, and their religion. In 2009, the PMO reported that in the last decade around 12,000 crimes reported were based on a victim’s sexual orientation (CNN N.pag). The bill to legalize hate crime that added sexual orientation to the previous crimes against race, religion, disability, or ethnicity was a huge step towards the overcoming struggle ...

Eliminative materialism represents perhaps the most radical complex of ideas within the philosophy of mind. The arguments which it holds may seem absurd at the first blush. Eliminativists have 'accelerated' physicalist/materialist views concerning mental states so that the concepts we usually use to describe our experience with (e.g. love, hate, desire) arrive as the aberrations and results of our long-term misconceptions and ignorance (in other words, 'mental states' never actually existed). Eliminativism main thesis is that common sense psychology shows outrageous poverty in descriptive capacity, facing the innovations of nowadays science (in particular, neurobiology). And while the theory of ...

Mary Maloney, from “Lamb to the Slaughter” and Guy Montag from “Fahrenheit 451” are very interesting characters embedded in equally fascinating stories. Both these characters have their own differences, in the face of their roles in the stories. However, they also share some similarities in view of their actions and thought processes. Mary Maloney is similar to a typical 1950s housewife; devoted to her husband and home and is carrying a child with her and going about her daily chores. On the other hand, Guy Montag is a fireman who lives in a world that is opposed to normality ...

HCR 362, Section 2

Section 1 I believe that we talk too much about race in the United States. There is so much history when it comes to race. This history is constantly being talked about and trying to make people today accountable for what happened in the past. I do believe this is wrong. There is a common debate as to whether or not teaching history teaches or encourages racial discrimination. I think this is a very good debate. I do believe it is important for individuals today need to know what happened back then so history does not repeat itself. On ...

Part 1

Labelling thoughts, feelings and behavior as psychological disorders is inaccurate and unreliable. Psychological disorders are associated with a combination of symptoms and sign considered to be abnormal. Normal people have many thoughts depending on the prevailing circumstances. These thoughts are not constant and are influenced by many factors sometimes beyond the control of the person. Similarly, feelings and behavior and behavior can vary among perfectly normal people. Feelings of hate, love or simply liking are influenced by the relationship between people. It is also normal for the feelings to change such as from love to hate based on changing ...

Racism is so strongly built in society today that it feels like a natural phenomenon. Children from a very young age when their minds are in the developmental phase are exposed to such racism; therefore, they are conditioned in a way that this behavior extends to future life as well. School books and stories describe how the Afro-American is always the culprit and the American or “white guy” is the hero of most stories. If not directly, but somewhere this element of racism gets transferred to the child’s subconscious memory and determines his actions and reactions. As a ...

Wilkerson uncovers the very deep-rooted realities of why racism still exists and never dies. Slavery exists because the caste system is the core system of the United States. White becomes the standard race. Blacks, Latino, Asians, any other people of color are below the white race.

Caste is a "fix and rigid" (Wilkerson 16) foundation of the race that is invisible but always present. It is the very root of racism in the United States. Wilkerson carefully defined the types and causes of the caste system, why it is the root of racism. Slavery of blacks becomes the example ...

1) Is Al-Kindi a fatalist? Can his position be reconciled with Islam (and if so how)? Based on his writings and teachings, the essential message of Al-Kindi (the earliest known Islamic philosopher) is that of fatalism – in essence, that our lives are conditioned in detail by a series of facts that are immutable and unchangeable. Al-Kindi’s perspective, which he outlines in his teachings, is that we can do nothing to change these circumstances and events, even when they are uncomfortable and painful to us. However, he also argues that we have the capability of joyfully affirming these circumstances and ...

With the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s and those not afraid to speak out against the unjust, such as Martin Luther King Jr., the fight against racism and segregation has made great leaps into the more accepting and integrated society we now enjoy. Government has worked tirelessly in promoting new legislation to ensure equal rights for all who live in America. All citizens now have the opportunity to vote, giving them power in their country’s government. The recent election of our first African American president goes a long way in demonstrating just how much more excepting America ...

My understanding of diversity in the United States has undergone a tremendous amount of transformation in recent weeks and months compared to my own assumptions in the past. As a white person, I have understood a relatively significant amount of privilege in the United States as a result of my ethnicity – I do not experience discrimination on an everyday level like many do in minority communities. To that end, it takes me much more direct investigation and conscious exploration of American life and how it is lived to be cognizant of the systemic inequalities that occur in this nation. As I learn more ...

Discrimination is the unfair treatment of different groups of people usually on the basis of race, sex, religion or disability. Naturally, individuals find themselves in situations of diversity and in different life settings where interaction with other humans is necessary. In this process of interaction, discrimination may creep in especially when minority groups are involved as they are perceived as unequal by the majority groups in the respective society. Education institutions health facilities and work areas are just but a few places where people meet in the process of pursuing their social endeavors. While discrimination is a legal offence, it is ...

Introduction

Principally, the youths make up approximately a quarter of the world’s population. However, even with this staggering number most adolescents in many countries are usually discriminated upon in regards to job opportunities; hence, significantly making up one of the largest disenfranchised community. For instance, most youths in South Africa, especially the blacks find it hard to secure jobs. In essence, this has been a pain resulting in most of them feeling deprived of their rights as native citizens and the most energetic in that country. On a similar note, many youths in South Africa, who believe that it is enough, and ...

Social Distance Theory

Social distance can be described as a propensity to approach or withdrawal from a group. The division of people based on a social class, ethnicity, race, and gender can be described as a social distance that prevails within or out of the societies. The differentiated behavior of people that leads them to their segregation with another person or persons of the society is a social distance (Prandy, 2003). For instance if a person is not able to mix up due to race, gender, ethnicity or social class then he will be regarded as a person who is socially distant from another member living in a society. Such a ...

Ethnocentrism is the idea of one being self-centered about his or her own culture or viewing it as superior to any other culture. Culture relativism is the idea of a culture varying from one society to another, what one believes to be good or bad define their moral standards (LeVine & Campbell, 1971).

Many citizens dislike and fail to understand the role of taxation in government. They hope that the taxes would be repelled from the system. These individuals feel that it is unfair for the government to take off a large percentage of their income without considering their opinions and thoughts. Sometimes, they go to an extent of comparing their tax rates in different countries and feel that the tax they pay is exaggerated in comparing to other states. If the government could take off the tax, millions of citizens would match into the streets celebrating the new development. To many people, ...

Twelve people, including the chief editor at the time, were shot by assault rifles. Two weeks later, an Islamic terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda based in Yemen, took responsibility for the attack which, along with an attack that took place in 2011, were acts of revenge for the public dissemination of a satirical cartoon that targeted Muslims and poked fun at the prophet Muhammad. Such acts of violence aimed at Charlie Hebdo, especially the most one, are viewed by many ...

Personification

One of the most commonly used devices in literature is personification. Personification refers to a figure of speech where an inanimate object, an idea, or an animal gains human qualities. In this device, the portrayal of non-human objects is in such a way that they appear to possess human like ability. This device is important since it connects the personified object with the reader. Personification has the ability to improve the vividness of description of non-human objects. Another advantage is that it can help the readers to understand non-human characters and to sympathize with, and react emotionally to non-human characters. In ...

Children need to be taught a wide-range of topics in school, which should include world religion. If children were taught world religion in school, then there would be less prejudice against those of different religions. Religion is a controversial subject, especially were children are concerned. In most cases, the topic of religion is either avoided or rather quickly turns from discussion to argument. Rarely are parents completely comfortable with ideas that are not their own being taught to their children. This closed mindedness is unfortunate as more than ever the world is becoming smaller in terms of communication. The more we ...

Europe has a dark history when it comes to anti-Semitism. It is the place where one of the worst atrocities in human history was committed by Hitler’s Third Reich under the guise of the purification of the Aryan race.

Often it is considered that racism is one form of judging others and distinguishing one lot of people from the others. However, discrimination is used for all aspects of judging other people, not only on the basis of their skin color or their belonging, but for all the reasons for which people can consider themselves superior to others. Why people discriminate has several reasons that range from a feeling of superiority that is either passed on through the generations, the presence of stereotypes in the society ...

The media has and continues to play a comprehensive role in offering crucial information to the public. This has led to the emergence of notions that the media is perhaps a branch of government that advocates for the needs of the public. Even so, it is essential to note that the recent past has experienced cases whereby the media has disregarded its role of informing the public. This is evident by the persistent rise in the airing of violent and immoral content across various media platforms. This has led to the development of notions as to whether the government should control ...

According to Sacks, the subtext that is provided over the epidemic of childlessness in the lives of most executives is that men are to blame. According to the women, men are to blame because according to them, men refuse to be left at home and be the primary caretaker of the kids. This would mean that, for a woman who wants to concentrate on her career, she would have to shelve her need to have kids and concentrate on her work first because if she had kids she would have to stay at home to take care of them, consequently ...

A speech code refers to a regulation or rule that restricts or limits speech beyond certain legal level and, therefore, limits the freedom of speech.

The issue of speech codes in universities has sparked opposition from the students.

The oppression of the LGBT community, as well as their denial of civil rights, has become a commonplace fixture in today’s society. Many people see them as different, or abnormal. They see no reason to provide them with the same basic rights, such as marriage or parenting, that straight people are provided. Some feel so extremely about the LGBT community that they harm members, actions known as hate crimes, in order to instill fear, or set an example. The LGBT community is gaining progress in many separate states concerning their civil rights, but it appears that where progress is ...

Hate crimes may be influenced by economic competition and even resentment towards a particular group rather than a generalization about a particular group of people. It is the case that hate crimes are a result of prejudice on the part of the offender against the victim of hate crime. In this paper, we argue that the economic strain and the concomitant resentment that may be felt towards certain minority group as the African-Americans in our case here are mostly based on false generalizations (Stewart). This is to mean that most of the reasons that attend the commission of this crime are predicated on ...

There are many evidence that show how humanity is evil such as rape, murder, torture, terrorism, bullying and stealing. The main force that has driven humanity to evil doings is because people think of themselves and their needs thus ...

This chapter reflects on the reactions of the communities supposedly protected by legislations against hatred crimes during inauguration of Hate Crimes Awareness Day in Alberta. Although it was meant for celebrating successes the hate crimes legislations had made over the past few decades, minority groups that included those of gays, lesbians and queers took the day to challenge them as regards safety and justice promotion towards them (Smith, and Jaffer 57). On this concern, Crawford and Nichols established that the legislations are ineffective to protect members of these categories, as they have suffered very much while facing them. ...

According to the general understanding, a disciple is anyone who embraces or assists in the spreading of someone’s teaching.

This definition is evident in what Christians refer to as the ‘Great Commission’: Jesus directed the twelve to travel around the world and make disciples. This was a call by Jesus for ...

Literature Review

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...
