Essays on Interpretation

- Introduction

The second amendment provides that a well-regulated militia was and is necessary for the security of a Free State but at the same time prohibited the infringement of the right of the people or the citizenry to keep and bear arms.

This provision should be appreciated for its dual approach to the matters of bearing arms. It facilitates and protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms while at the same time gives power to a well-regulated militia on the premise that they shall enforce the security of a the Free State.

- Historical context

The Second amendment was proposed by James Madison ...

Learning goals

As I join this class my learning goals are quite many, but the most notable one is to gain deeper knowledge of the causes and solutions of social problems. In so doing, I will seek to comprehend the role of individuals in solving or reducing the possibility of social problems. Secondly, I aim at understanding the connection between the social problems faced by a society and the economic strength of such a society. Thirdly, I aim at expanding my knowledge on the different interpretations of social problems, such as the conflict theory, and the structural theory, and so on.

My understanding of social problems

The success of organizational activities largely depends on the communication process instituted in that organization. Departments within the organization often share information concerning organizational activities or processes. In most instances, effective interaction between departments of an institution or interaction between employees depend on the communication process adopted in the institution. In this sense, communication is a principal element that defines the manner in which the organization would conduct its activities in line with its mission and objective. Likewise, in societal level, people interact by communicating to each other. Effective communication occur when an individual can decode the information he or ...

The correct way to lead one’s life and its relation to happiness has been studied by many philosophers, dating back to Aristotle and ancient Greece. The very nature of human existence begs the question of what men should do with their lives. This philosophical tradition climaxed with Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, who emphasized personal choice and commitment, inaugurating existential philosophy. After decades of developing this current of thought, existential psychotherapy was developed as a way to deal with the anxiety that the uncertain nature of man’s place in the cosmos provokes through a special kind of human relation. Through ...

In this essay, I will compare and critique three different renditions of the same piece by Johann Sebastian Bach, Prelude and Fugue in C major from the Well- Tempered Clavier BWV 864. For making the interpretation, I have pick three different pianists; Glenn Gould is the first one, Samuel Feinberg is the second one and Daniel Ben Pienaar is the third and also the last one. After I will listen to all three interpretations, I will discuss the different performing style of this three pianist approaching music components such as dynamics, tempo, colour and articulation. Furthermore, I will comment ...

Gary Spearin's self-proclamation about his role on his personal website as an artist "to make what is invisible visible; to create something visible that summons the invisible" is an interesting statement about his postmodern meaning-making style. Not only does Spearin re-defines lines and strokes in a way quite expressionistically post-modern but he embraces viewers in a meaning-making process which does not end by a casual view online of his works or long reflections in an art gallery. This drift, so to speak, into a whirlwind of meaning-making and re-interpretation upon each "visit" is only emphasized in recent exhibitions. Consider iNifiNiTi.

Perception: Matching Game

Selection: Salient Information First, the initial stage is the perception process. While at the selection phase, one must identify and gather salient information that is unique. As such, different individuals gather different information from one other due to differences in individual personalities, attitude, and experience. Resultantly, the salient information is gathered, organized, and interpreted to come up with a perception.

There are numerous pieces of salient information that enable me to determine the move to make on each item when in the process of completing as matching game. Arguably, the individual’s gender remains as one piece of information ...

Introduction

Hegemony is a circumstance where certain social alliance group exerts social authority over a smaller group in the social alliance by restraining, or by unfairly questioning their ideas so that the power of a superior class appears logically acceptable and natural. The purpose of hegemony is to maintain a moving equilibrium in order to restrict any disagreement that might arise. It is as a result of making meanings conform to the group’s ways of thinking.

One of the most significant split in Islam was the Shiite-Sunni divide into two different sects in Islam, which dates back to the 7th Century. This paper describes the divide in detail.

After the demise of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in 632 A.D, his close friend Abu-Bakr as-Siddiq was appointed as the first Caliph in Islamic history. Whilst this decision was met with unconditional support and praise, there was some who felt that his appointment was not legitimate. They argued that the right to Caliphate belonged to Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was not only the Prophet’s nephew, but ...

Researchers continue placing emphasis on qualitative research. Hermeneutics refers to the skill of interpretation as transformation. Hermeneutics help researchers in interpreting data. It allows researchers to have meaning of texts or texts analogue. Text analogue is anything treated as a text like organization, human artifact and culture. The objective of hermeneutics is to help human understand what people say, and why. Hermeneutics suggests various ways that help in understanding a test. It attempts in making the text clear. It means the text must have confusion or it is in complete, contradictory or cloudy. The interpretation aims at bringing sense and coherence. ...

When anthropologists write about events that happen on the field or about a particular society, they would provide as much information as possible on the written text. From the example in Geertz’ essay about Cohen and the Berbers and how he was able to get his ar in the form of a large number of sheep (Geertz, 8), the reader learned who the robbers and rebels were, what ar was, how was it taken, what the political situation was at that time with the French officials, and what the punishments were in those times. Geertz mentioned that the event was told ...

Statutory interpretation is the process by which courts and judges give meaning to enacted legislation and consequently apply it to a particular case. In the English as well as the Wales legal system, the doctrine of separation of powers prevails whereby Parliament is the supreme law maker. The Executive is charged with the responsibility of implementing the legislation as passed by Parliament while the Judiciary is the final arbiter which interprets legislation as enacted by Parliament. Thus, in tandem with the doctrine of separation of powers, the courts must keep within their ambit and ensure they do not arrogate to ...

A well-regulated militia, being necessary to a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Winkler, A. 2007. Scrutinizing the Second Amendment. Michigan Law Review, 105.

Winkler analyzed the individual-rights view to gun ownership and its challenge in court citing the Second Amendment and surmised that the individual-rights view would survive challenges in most states. There are forty-two states that recognize the right of its citizens to bear arms and when their laws are challenged in court they rely on the reasonable regulation ...

Similarities between ethnographic and phenomenological research methods

Both ethnographic and phenomenological methods are non-experimental, qualitative and descriptive (Osborne, 1994). Data analysis and interpretation is done in a similar manner and can be very difficult since data has to be organized, transcribed, synthesized and coded. This process is often very tedious and time consuming (Osborne, 1994).

Differences between ethnographic and phenomenological research methods

In ethnographic research, the researcher seeks to understand and describe shared cultural and social experiences of a certain group. He/she will live among the culture under observation so as to fully understand the culture they are observing. Phenomenology involves research based on the fact that there are numerous ways to interpret one ...

Introduction

One of Paul’s letters to the Church, the Romans epistle has for the past two millennia been elaborated upon by the Church in connection with prevailing circumstances. This is because the change in times has shed light upon issues that are relevant to respective generations. Various theological authors over time did indeed come up with their own interpretation of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Roman people. Some of these authors were labeled rebels as a result of their interpretation attempt to explain sensitive issues about Christ’s Church and as a result had their works labeled ‘blasphemous’. One ...

Template matching theory best characterizes human performance. Typically, different people will interpret situations differently depending templates stored in their minds. Normally, people experience varied situations that require certain response. Arguably, the nature of response that a person would give would depend on existing templates in the brain concerning the same. For example, when a person receives any instruction, he has to interpret the instruction before acting in the direction required by that instruction. Largely, human life entails receiving instructions, and interpreting and expressing the needful. In a class setting, the teacher would raise a question to the class; the pupil will interpret the ...

Historically, communication has been a vital process in human existent. The mode of communication depends entirely on the environment and the circumstances around an individual. The use of images to communicate a message to people has been classified as one of the effective modes of communication. However, the meaning of an image depends on the ability of an individual to interpret the image and deduce a constructive meaning from it. Nowadays, images are used in almost every advert that we come across. This is evident from all sectors of life ranging from business, health, sports, education, entertainment, religion and so on. Semiotic ...

The cosmos is a vast super structure consisting of planets, stars, contents of intergalactic space, subatomic particles, matter and energy. It is approximately forty six billion light years in radius. The universe was formed 13 billion years ago, when the Planck epoch expanded causing the Big Bang explosion. It is governed by laws and constants that determine the position and the interactions of objects in the universe. Cosmologists argue that the universe has been expanding since its formation. The Big Bang model of the universe, the universe will begin to crumble in the phase, scientists refer to as the Big ...

Art & Architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright, Glasner House, Glencoe, 1905 (Formalist Interpretation)

The interpretation or criticism of any work gives a new insight as it needs a thorough research with external as well as internal factors. One cannot interpret architecture same as the interpretation of drawing, painting or sculpture. It needs a completely different approach. This paper is about the interpretation of a residential building Glasner House, which was built in the beginning of the 20th century. The building was a residential architecture planned and developed by creative American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The architecture was one of the specimens of typical Prairie house. It was the symbol of the changing lifestyle- of the new emerging ...

If we are going to search for the final answer of life, it means that we are searching for the purpose of our existence, for the meaning of life. The inquiry regarding the purpose of the life on Earth has been a central topic in our history. It is considered to be an insightful metaphysical inquiry. It is a problem that can affect everyone in upon inquiry in whichever aspect. Answers about the meaning of life can be ‘happiness’, ‘love’ or ‘to live truthfully’. However, if we are going to answer the question metaphysically, we should involve some philosophical principles. ...

The article „World of Tomorrow“ by Stuart Davis is about a Davis's description of the 1939 New York World's Fair. He expressed his view on it in Harper's Bazaar. His gouache on paper called Impression of the New York World's Fair, 1939. was in the magazine in February 1939. The size of the gouache is 32,4 x 56 cm. It predicts the future, which was not known at the time. America's world's fair was meant to show in which direction the nation was headed and how they would prosper. The whole nation was eager to see the economical ...

In “Depatriatchalizing Biblical Interpretation,” Phyllis Trible attests that at first glance the Women’s Liberation Movement and Hebrew Scriptures have little in common. However, she does give convincing arguments to the contrary. Her personal search to find a way to understand the Scriptures without undermining her involvement in the Women’s Liberation Movement has yielded much food for thought. Myth plays an important and powerful role in the daily lives of people, whether or not they realize it. Since the interpretation of the Bible affects so many people, it makes Trible’s efforts seem less trivial. One of theme of ...

Smith: The Pharisees, Jesus, holiness and compassion

As noted by Smith, “Politically, the position of the Jews during Jesus’ time was desperate” (321). Among the four Jewish sects, the Pharisees were the most adamant, if not organized, about revitalizing their status, and that of Judaism, under Roman rule. Like the Essenes and Zealots, the Pharisees sought the intervention of Yahweh to turn their fortunes. Their approach was to adhere to a strict interpretation of the holiness code under Mosaic law. As they saw it, recognizing Yahweh’s majestic holiness was the pathway to the revitalization of Judaism. In positioning Jesus within the historical context, it is ...

It cannot be denied that the medium of graphic novel has become one of the most quintessential vehicles of modern thought. What once were considered books aimed at children and teenagers, with highly sexualized content and appealing to the prurient and childish tastes of its consumers, comics have evolved into a legitimate art form studied in university classrooms and lecture halls around the world. Alan Moore’s Watchmen (1987), for example, provided a post-modern commentary on the nature of superheroes, the evils of capitalism, and the futility of the war in Vietnam. The Dark Knight Returns (1986), written by Frank Miller, ...

AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER WOMEN

Question 1: Parameters of the Research The topic selected for this research is “The rates of incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.” The researcher’s interest in this topic stems from the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are over-represented in the Australian Criminal Justice system (NATSILS 2013). In particular, they are incarcerated at a rate fourteen times higher than non-Aboriginal and Torres Islander peoples (NATSILS 2013). According to statistics (NATSILS 2013), the incarceration rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men increased by 35% in 2010 while the incarceration rate for Aboriginal and Torres ...

Tax Research Project 2

Introduction: In 1976, Congress amended the tax law to include Section 280A (Lawyer, 1985) in the Internal Revenue Code. Congress’ reason for the amendment was due to concerns that people were renting out their vacation homes so that they could deduct personal expenses that would not, under normal circumstances, be deductible (Lawyer, 1985). Section 280A required vacation home owners to assign expenses connected with the vacation home either to personal use or rental use. Congress apparently hoped that Section 280A would limit or control the business deductibles for expenses sustained on a vacation home during the tax year when ...

The Bible has been interpreted differently by numerous sects and religious groups who claims to be the true religion. While there has been no actually proof or evidence on the authenticity of these claims made by these groups, the Bible remains to be the most translated book in history. In fact, a total of 2,817 translations of the Bible is available. 513 of these translations is accounted for the whole Bible while the New Testament has been translated to over 1,294 languages . The process of translating the Bible can perhaps be credited for the different interpretation. Misrepresentation and ...

The “Spirit of the Place” gives meaning or essence to a particular place or creation (Graves and Poraj-Wilczynska, 2009). The spirit of the place pertains to the intangible elements of the creation that adds meaning to its tangible elements. Being intangible, the spirit of the place may be interpreted differently by different individuals; hence, a single work of art may instigate different feelings or essences depending on the persons looking at it. In other words, while the tangible elements of the place or object remain unchangeable through time, the interpretation or the feeling derived from it does change, because people change ( ...

Question 1: Anthropology

Introduction The word “Paleolithic” means the “old stone age.” The late upper Paleolithic period began about 40,000 years ago, lasting through the Pleistocene ice age, which is believed to have ended around 8,000 B.C. Upper Paleolithic art was first discovered in Aurignac (Dordogne, France). Expert archeologist have documented that the geography of upper Paleolithic art spans through Eurasia and Siberia. Some of the notable characteristics of Paleolithic art include engraved limestone blocks, parietal art, human and animal figurines. For engraved blocks, characteristics include deep incisions, stiff outlines, sexual symbols represented realistically, animal heads, and dorsal quarters. ...

Perception is the exposure of the world within us that includes both the weather and environmental behavior and performance towards these weather updates. Therefore, the causes for precision of the sensory information are perception, interpretation and knowledge.Reasons for Accuracy or Inaccuracy of sensory information It’s truly known that human beings senses start working from the time of birth for instance, small born babies do have the sense to touch, grasp, sensitivity, listen and smell when they are born.

Screening for Tuberculosis is one of the most challenging, yet an imperative practice for enhancing community health. The article presents various recommendations for improving the screening procedure for the tuberculosis. Initially, the article highlights that a standard for determination of which migrant populations should be screened should be established across the nations. Furthermore, more nations should adopt the two-step approach in the screening process to back-up the one-step approach widely used. All screening programs also should be based at standardized interpretation of the results in order to limit the errors that occur due to a large number of interpreters. The specialists ...

- Salesman interpretation. The salesman is not right that the price of the printers is reduced by 50%. The salesman is not using percentages correctly because he does not consider that the second reduction was 20% of the reduced price. Percentages are a fraction of the price. The price changes after the first reduction. Therefore, the second reduction should be done at the already reduced price. The salesman makes a mistake by adding up the percentage (20 + 30) making him conclude that the percentage reduction is 50 %. The calculations would result in a total reduction of 50% of the original ...

Thesis: there is no objective right and wrong because people never agree about what is right and wrong.

Most people in the contemporary world claim to be moral relativists. They proclaim that what is right for one person may not necessary be right for another person. The interpretation of right and wrong has been a matter of debate that has really attracted the attention and interest of many philosophers. There are no objective or absolute moral principles. All moral principles are subject to one’s interpretation and are highly affected by an individual’s background as well as culture. The way we live, the verdicts we make when other people are mistreated and our behavior reveal what ...

Establishing whether human senses and sensory data can be relied on in providing an accurate view of the world is highly controversial. This is because human senses often have the potential of providing accurate interpretation of our environment. Similarly, human senses present some detrimental weaknesses that affect their ability in the interpretation of sensory data. The paper examines the reliability of the human senses and interpretation of sensory information.

Reasons for Believing in the Accuracy of Sensory Data

The first the rationale for believing in accuracy of sensory information is based on the process through which humanity perceives experiences. Barth, Patrizia, & Klein, (2011) identifies perception as a sensory experience ...

Essay on the Discussion Forum of Business

The rule of interpretation that I agree with the most is the interpretation of the contract against the drafter. Interpretation of contract could occasion a legal lacuna only solved by a court of competent jurisdiction. For this reason, the law requires that contracts be as detailed as possible and that drafters employ the simplest terms in the documentation. In addition, courts are often keen to ensure the concept of fair bargaining is practiced in contracting. My argument is influenced by the general need to practice fairness. Often it is required of a drafter of a contract to as specific and detailed as possible. ...

Introduction

Stephen and Walter tries to explain in details how the theoretical accounts of intentions will always go wrong. They go further in taking an analysis based on a very influential account to discuss the role played by interpretative assumptions or beliefs towards literary criticism. They think that belief and intention are very vital in theoretical enterprise and their arguments clearly depict how they are against theory. They claims that, “If we are right, then the whole enterprise of critical theory is misguided and should be abandoned.” The first part of the article discusses the meaning and intention of a text. ...

Summary:

The text is all about the interpretation of what can be obtained from artistic work. The work of art tells more beyond just mere pictures, this is one of the reasons as to why it is used in literature to deliver information and meaning into the society. The text thus addresses the fact that the hidden meaning in artistic work can be obtained prior to the effect of human knowledge and experience with artistic work. Talking notes is a phrase used to depict the capability of an artistic work says a statue to deliver intended information as if to possess ...

The dream with which I used the Dream Dictionary involved the one I saw myself besides a calm river. I was sitting besides the river relaxing and later decided to cross the river in order to get to a city across the river, which I never did. This was because as I tried crossing the river, the bridge all over sudden disappeared, and it was in that shock that I woke up. Dream Dictionary indicated that seeing such a dream is an indication that one is going with the flow. It means that one is allowing life to flow away, and ...

Introduction

Microanalysis of communication defines demonstrative communication as a mechanism of sending and receiving of information through a common system of symbols, behavior and signs. This shows that, it includes the non verbal and unwritten communication. These microanalysis researches continue to statistically indicate that the whole communication process is comprised of two thirds non verbal while the rest is verbal (Burgoon et al, 1996). The historical background of this form of communication dates back with the scientific scholars such as Charles Darwin and Ray Birdwhistell. Darwin, in his book “Expressions of Emotions in Man and Animals” indicate that facial expression as ...

It is easy to see the beauty in classical ballet, and understanding the meaning of classical ballet pieces is merely a matter of understanding the language of classical ballet; upon becoming knowledgeable about the language of classical ballet, the wide repertoire of ballets opens up and becomes accessible to the individual. Modern ballets are often much less accessible, even to the initiated and to those who are deeply familiar with the conventions of ballet and dancing. William Forsythe was one of the premier choreographers of the last fifty years; his productions are complex and varied, often leaving the audience with ...

Introduction

A lot about who we are is due to our sensory perceptions. Our actions and inactions are determined by the information processed in our brains. This information is input through the sensory pathway. It is through this way that we connect to the physical world. Many scholars have argued that that which is not first in the senses is not in the mind. Nonetheless, the importance of sensory perceptions in shaping who we are individually does not vouch for their accuracy or inaccuracy. Sensory perceptions are not always accurate as evidenced by incorrect interpretations of the sensory data input ...

As I entered the theatre I was quite on the edge feeling very much enthused by the wonderful music that was on offer. The choice of repertoire was indeed varied and included several pieces by a wide variety of composers ranging from the baroque to the modern.

Which is superior and why? The main difference between Zinn and Johnson in that their interpretation of the Civil War relates precisely to what is considered to be the central issue of the war, slavery. While both Zinn and Johnson praise the morality of abolitionists, Zinn does not believe that the North was really concerned about the plight of slaves, and instead focuses more on the inequality that had ...

Introduction

Advertisements and media information is developed to communicate certain information and appeal to potential customers, and existing customer. However, the meanings of such advertisements and media differ across individuals depending on how people read the signs and the background of such advertisements. Therefore, advertisements signs can be said to be polysemic, which means that such signs have different interpretations. The analysis of an advertisement can be done through textual analysis or through semiotics. Textual analysis can be defined as the making of an educated guess and making different varying interpretations on a certain text on an advertisement. On the other ...

Through his theory, Fredrick Jameson presents the notion of postmodernism as an extension of modernism. He argues that, it is essential for the society to adopt postmodernism largely not as a style but rather as a context of cultural dominance. He believed that postmodernism was the major movement responsible for the control of our world popular culture. Fredrick Jameson diligently reiterated that any sustained commitments with utopia would end up bringing us back to the discredited concept of totality itself through our postmodernism imaginations. The utopia, as Jameson explains, is the dream deep inside a human being that can be realized if ...

"Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun [or son] of York".

Richard III is an important play in the Shakespeare canon since it depicts the dangers of hubris and nemesis by leaders who are crazed with power. My reading and interpretation of the play is focused on the American Presidency which will feature a particular President as Richard III who will do his utmost to usurp power and will use every single method in the book to get to his goal. It is an interpretation based on the utter ruthlessness of a dictator who brooks no qualms about destroying the social order of the country to achieve his own selfish gain. ...
