Philosophy and Social Commentary in Spenser’s ‘The Faerie Queene’

Few books in the Western literary canon have elicited as broad a range of critical interpretations as Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene. It is a deeply allegorical work of great imagination, but to what extent, and in what ways, it is allegorical has been the subject of considerable debate since its publication in 1590. Some believe it was, in part, intended as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth I, while others claim that it is a representation of the tumultuous world of Elizabethan England, which was emerging from the violence and oppression that marked the death struggle between Catholics and Protestants. Still others ...

Summary and Response Practice #2

In “Why We Love TV’s Anti-Heroes,” Stephen Garrett argues that the actual nature of the hero has changed over the past few decades, and as a result the protagonists that we embrace are largely different as well. Arguing that “the heroes of today are radically different from those of two or three decades ago [and that t]hey have evolved to represent a radically changed world,” (Garrett, p. 319) Garrett claims that empathy is more important than respect when it comes to choosing a hero to emulate. Consider the highly popular program House, M.D. Thirty years ago, the hero of the ...

The debate about whether organic food is better than conventionally grown foods has been a questions asked by many people. Organic foods are known to be a healthy option and it is recommended by doctors, dietary and fitness experts. Organic foods do not have any special nutrients in them that conventionally grown foods do not have, rather organic foods are seen to be better because of the farming practices and the way that the foods are grown. Farmers of who grow organic products use different farming practices which that allows their foods to grow at their natural rate and time without ...

ABSTRACT

The research argues that although a gas flaring stoppage is not successfully in-place in Nigeria, fitting the appropriate technology with complementary economic and institutional factors can lead to near-zero or zero gas flaring. Nigeria is a developing country with a unique culture of many tribes and one of the largest growing urban populations in the world. Infrastructural, political and economical challenges to meeting the goal are introduced. Reinjection of gas back into wells is not available as an option to gas flaring because a large region for gas production is wetlands (Buzcu-Guven et al. 2012). Wetlands ...

There is truly nothing better than curling up in a cozy chair with a snack and a fantastic book. It is easy to get so caught up in parenting, marriage and work that personal time for book exploration is set aside never to be enjoyed. One of the best things for the human soul is to be fed by a nourishing and educationally delicious book. People don’t realize it but they have a set of criteria against which an author’s work can be measured. Ultimately, that criteria determines if it is worthy of time in that cozy chair.

Natural selection can be referred to as a process through which biological traits turn either more or less common within a population as a function of the impact of hereditary traits on the differential reproductive victory of organisms’ interaction with their surroundings. It is a major evolution mechanism. Charles Darwin popularized the term natural selection with an intention to have it compared with artificial selection, now referred to as selective breeding.

There exists variation within every organism’s populations. This takes place partly since random mutations happen in the genome of an organism, and these mutations can be acquired by offspring. All ...

The first verse is a plea to God. In the first verse the speaker dresses God directly and makes his plea to the creator. The speaker is of the opinion that the creation is rather extreme from the human being’s point of view. This is clearly visible in the second line of the first verse which says “let less happen.” This alludes to the fact that the speaker is of the opinion that a lot is happening in the world today, and human beings are unable to keep up with and handle the happenings in the world today. Thus, it ...

The continuous study of natural systems has led to the development of nature inspired computational systems and techniques. The candidate solutions for the optimization problems at hand take on the role of individuals in a population function while the quality of the solutions is determined by the fitness functions. A commonly used nature-inspired algorithm is the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm which is a heuristic search algorithm derived from the reproduction strategy of the cuckoo birds. The Cuckoo Search algorithm has widespread applications in various domains such as weight optimization in neural networks, job scheduling, image processing, radial basis functions and clustering ...

With the increase in population today, there has been an increment in the utilization of plastic sacks. This is apparent by the increment in the quantity of plastic paper in use by the populace especially during the rise of fossil fuels in the twentieth century (Turk, & Bensel, 2014). Plastic sacks are produced using a non-renewable natural gas. The manufacturing of plastic sacks prompts a decrease in accessibility of our natural resources and mischief to the nature's turf because of the extraction of petroleum. In the meantime, plastics are risky to produce; the pollution from their production is thus harmful to our ...

Thesis

This paper seeks to establish the nature and definition of Tinea Versicolor. In essence, it will offer an overview of its causes and symptoms to establish a profound understanding of this condition.

Introduction

As the title of this condition denotes: Tinea Versicolor designates a fungal infection on the surface of the skin (Tinea) that discolours the skin (versicolor) (American Academy of Dermatology, 2014). Many facts regarding this condition do exist; firstly, this condition is essentially cultivated by fungus normally found on the normal skin of a human being (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Though the connection between this condition and the genetic components in a human’ ...

Spending on pro-environmental behavior has more benefits to a healthy living and survival of human beings. Protecting the environment is equivalent to protecting and supporting the life of man in the face of the earth. For instance, in areas where the environment is exhausted, the health of people becomes unhealthy. An environment that is not healthy contributes a quarter of diseases burden across the world, and one-third of these diseases is found among the children. Therefore, advocating environment protection behavior through funding is a critical tool in ensuring that the environment that we live in supports healthy living and it can sustain ...

The breaking boundaries exhibition was held in Dallas Texas from the 21st of August to 11th of September. The reception was on the 4th of September 2014.

Introduction: Plastic Pollution in Oceans

Despite regulations at public beaches regarding not littering or leaving trash behind, our oceans are becoming increasing polluted. Of all the waste products that end up in the oceans, 80% originates from that left by people on land and most of it is made up of plastic. Plastic pollution in our water ways effects our ecosystem, the wildlife and health of humans. Marine life that consumes plastic often dies from choking or blockages, while the toxic chemicals in plastic when broken down can further harm the health of marine animals and plant life, as well as human health. ...

- While I was surprised by the extent of the ‘prize’ at the end, its negative nature became obvious when Mrs. Hutchinson started her protestations about the drawing being unfair. If winning the lottery was truly a good thing, she would not have protested. After reading the end of the tale, the hints in the first few paragraphs become more obvious. For example, most of the interactions among the villagers are more reserved and quiet, such as the men merely smiling and not laughing and the boys jealously guarding their rock piles. Additionally, the women wore faded clothes rather than ...

A monopoly is characterized by one seller, well define product that has no substitutes. For a firm to maintain its monopoly position, it is essential that the barriers to the entry to the market are high. Although, this kind of market structure leads to deadweight loss in the society by producing lower than efficient output, but still there are many instances as in case of natural monopoly, where a society is served better by the monopolist than a competitive market structure.

A natural monopoly exist in a industry where a single firm can produce output such as to supply the market at lower ...

I’m in the Princeton Art museum, in the exhibit “Weapons Throughout Time: Remarkable Instruments of Survival and Warfare.” It’s a small carpeted room where the AC creates a quiet hum over my head and chills my body. Glass cases lined with hatchets, spears, shields, and arrows surround me as my eyes dart around quickly taking in the deadly weapons enclosing me. I sip my coffee to warm myself, enjoying the sweet taste of creamer as it flows down my throat. My eyes finally focus on an arrow that was used by the Lakota Sioux in the 1800’s. Its ...

The curious case of Tala and Laila in the film Fire & I Can’t Think Straight by Sarif Shamim (2010) brings forth the question of the social construct of homophobia in relation to their different personal backgrounds. Whereas Tala, a Palestinian Christian with roots from Jordan and raised in England and Laila, a timid Muslim, are both initially depicted as being involved in heterosexual relationships, their innate attraction to women has brought them together as lovers later ...

Summary

In this work, Nietzsche constantly criticized ancient thinkers who argued for dualism. According to him, the ancient Greeks were not rationalists. He goes forward t give an example of the rejection of the senses because of change and multiplicity which prompted Heraclitus to reject their testimony. According to him, dualism presented things in a way that presumed they were permanent and uniform. In practice, there is a contrast in the manner that people conceive the problem of appearance and error. Whereas in the past change and alteration were considered as a proof of appearance, this is not the case today. ...

The articles written by Astuti, Basso and Osterhoudt all relay different perspectives on the issue of nature being a cultivator of identities. Astuti explained how the Vezo people of Madagascar have come to define themselves as people “undetermined by the past.” Basso emphasized that for the Apache, silence is used in situations where ambiguity ensues. Osterhoudt elaborated the environmental landscapes in the Mananara region of Madagascar – tany (sensibility) and tontolo’ianiana (sense).

The Vezo, according to Astuti (464-482), are a people who refuse to be determined by their past. Running contrary to traditional ethnotheory, which defines identity and difference as ...

1. In a sentence or two, list the terms in the poem that are now mere memories in technology. Then indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree that the various electronic “languages” are incompatible with each other. Is this incompatibility as frustrating or as possibly dangerous as the human situation in which people cannot communicate with one another?

In the poem 16-bit Intel 8088 Chip Bukowski mentions computer terms that were obviously new at the time when the poem was written but now they are not up to date anymore (e.g. Commodore 64, IBM PC, Kaypro, Osborne, ...

The review report will evaluate the methods and conceptual framework that the article published with the title of “Positive Psychology in Progress” discusses. I have searched the article from Google Scholar with the helping of inputting search terms “Positive psychology in healthcare”.

The article is a rather milestone in the field of motivational interviewing and psychological practice because it validates a very loud claim that modern psychology made in the recent years. They argued that psychological healing provides the basis for physical one. However, there was no scientific proof that can be produced in order to back up the value ...

Individualism is the basic trait of romanticism. This element is evident of the production of all the poets of the period, including the selected artists. Individualism distinguishes the point of view of the poet under his perception over the political and social state of the time. It is a reflection of the visionary reality correlated reverence depicted with the use of imagery and embedded with passion and idealism. Together, these elements compose the distinguished style of each poet of the period of romanticism. These traits will ...

INTRODUCTION

The wider population and the government are aware that prompt action is necessary to lessen the human impact on the environment, which is the means to turn around the global climate changes as well as lessening the demands on natural resources. Much has been done concerning this issue but a lot more needs to be done in order to decrease consumption of resources and get better environmental management if we want to repeal the global climate change and spare some resources to the future generations. Humanity is running out of natural resources and the global climate change is not something ...

The modernist period saw a departure from traditional modes and ways of thinking and creating art. Occurring shortly after the Victorian period, the modernist period deliberately moved away from its corseted ancestry, aiming to tell the same stories but in different modes. Among these poets was Robert Frost, whose life spanned from the end of the Victorian period into the mid-1960s. Frost was a notable poet, although not necessarily a modernist: he celebrated individuality, man’s connection with nature, and a simplicity in basic truths—he also never completely broke away from traditional forms of poetry. In his poems “The Pasture,” “Mowing,” and “ ...

In physics, energy is loosely defined as the ability to do work. This definition often takes into assumption that energy can’t be directly observed but only its effects can be observed. Therefore, energy can only be defined by what it does not what it is. From this definition, it is clear that energy is used to do some work. From the definition of work, it is also clear that energy is the ability to exert a certain force on a body or particle of mass. Sources of energy can be broadly divided into two categories. The major categories ...

‘Broken April’ is a highly acclaimed novel by Ismail Kadare, an Albanian author. Kadare is a well-known author of Albania who has won some prestigious awards for delivering few bestselling novels. The author wrote ‘Broken April’ in the year 1978 and presented a realistic picture of the Albanian society in front of the world.

Going back to nature is the latest business mantra. All upcoming ventures try to give back what they have taken away from nature; it attracts new customers. Spatality is a novel concept; it will offer a home for elephants that have been decreasing in number. It will be a dream destination for animal lovers; who want to spend their holidays amidst the homeland of the most impressive animal, the giant yet calm elephants. The project is the thought process of the celebrated artist Mr. Gregory Colbert’s; his fascination with elephants is evident from his world famous photograph exhibitions Ashes & Snow. ...

Transcendentalism was a philosophical belief, which thought that nature held the key to the greater truths of mankind. Jon Krakauer in his book “Into the Wild” may not have been a transcendentalist himself, but it is apparent that the subject he writes about in the book, Chris McCandless, shared the same ideas as the transcendentalists which lead him on the journey that it did, across the United States, into Mexico, and into Alaska, where eating poison potato seeds led to his death. But though he died, during the last years of his life while he was freely moving across the ...

1. The “Lottery,” a revered story by Shirley Jackson, works on the ironic front to bring forth the fact that a lottery, which may be considered as a fortune, in the metaphorical meaning, is always being picked in the form of a scapegoat.

2. The ritual of the renowned book, Lottery in Shirley Jackson's story appear to be as old as the town itself, particularly since a large portion of the occupants never review any of the revered old rituals. This implies that they are antiquated in a few ways and established in conventions of superstitions that appear to include products and ...

Comparison of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Samuel Taylor Coleridge) to Love's Philosophy (P.B. Shelley)

Romanticism is the element of classic English literature that is evident in the products of early The French Revolution. It is embedded as the fundamental of an individual that triggers alienation with the power of the spirit that demand change as violent obsession. The poets, philosophers and writers of the age of romanticism can be evaluated by comparing the constituents of emotions, passion and rationality. The same pattern will be used to perform a comparative analysis of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Samuel Taylor Coleridge) to Love's Philosophy (P.B. Shelley)

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was the founder of the ...

The Great North Road is one of the most significant national heritages that exist to date, and that was built using convict labor (Marshal and Sofaer, 1). The road is still intact to date and unlike other structures built at the time; it has stood the test of time and still exists to this day. However, the Great North Road had significant purposes to the lives of the Anasazi.

The Great North Road’s origin is in Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl, which are the largest structures in Chaco Canyon. Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl converge at Pueblo Alto, ...

Introduction

After reading Rousseau’s “state of nature” and how Diderot constructs “natural man,” we are left with a number of questions. For one, we ask ourselves the meaning of human nature. Secondly, we ask ourselves how the two thinkers, Diderot and Rousseau locate as well as describe nature. We also ask whether Rousseau’s “state of nature” map onto Diderot constructs of the natural man.

Rousseau is comparable to Diderot in that his intention was essentially to critique his personal society. The similarity between Rousseau and Diderot is that each one of them uses nature as a ...

Corridors and Population Dispersion

Part I. Introduction and Review of Relevant Biology

1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...

A quick search analysis of helicopters and Grand Canyon National Park reveals that there are hyped arguments concerning helicopters hovering around the Grand Canyon. From parties has in the recent past raised concerns in an effort to preserve the “natural quietness” of the region. For example, survey results conducted by the Grand Canyon National Park Service showed a remarkable need of maintaining the sanctity and natural silence the Park offers to innumerable visitors. Decreasing the frequency and number of aircraft excursions that upset the sense of amity pervading throughout the Canyon is the one sure way of preserving the ...

Introduction

The Western thought has been primarily characterized by the divide between culture and nature since the beginning of the twentieth century. The Ecology of Others is a groundbreaking work where Philippe Descola seeks the annihilation of this divide. The thesis in his book is that the Western thought should depart from the rigid dualistic understanding of culture and nature as the most conspicuous phenomenon in the anthropocentric model. The book is well thought out and presented. It is not just enough that Philippe Descola identifies the problem in anthropocentric models of Western thought.

In the book, Descola goes further to ...

- There are a variety of different ways that art can be around the world. Art can be in a book that is being read, the furniture that is being sit on, and in the video games that people play on a regular basis. Basically, art can be anything that a person sees, has seen, or might imagine like advertisements on TV, Internet, toys, fashion, cars, paintings, and movies. - Perceive means to become aware through the senses of the special nature of objects. When a person uses their sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste to perceive an object, a person will better understand ...

Trying to show the similarities and differences between animals and humans, we should discuss the instincts. Instincts play an important role in nature and activities of animals and humans.

In the first approximation, we can use the definition of instinct, which gave William James: "[Instinct is] the ability to act in such a way that certain objectives are achieved unexpectedly and without learning about the way of activities." Instincts are to animals and humans in order to enable them to develop, to take care of self-preservation and produce offspring.

How different species of animals having instincts is a mysterious problem, ...

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.

The sixteenth-century Inca Empire was one of the largest states in the worldat that time. It included most parts of modern Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and northern Chile and reached into contemporary Argentina. The Inca called their empire the Land of the Four Quarters, which began as a state of many small rival kingdoms. To hold this linguistically and ethnically diverse state together, they depended on religion, a well-organised bureaucracy, and different forms of labor taxation.

Inca’s one of the expressive forms was their religion, which rituals were aimed at winning the favor of the gods, who were often equaled to ...

A poem titled “The Solitary Reaper” gives a reflection of the power of imagination and the manner in which imagination can transform events surrounding us in our day to day lives (Mahoney, Page 5-19). The poem gives a representation of various realities that surround our day to day life. It further brings out the poet as a romantic individual and that to him imagination is not just to be used as a synonym when writing poems by creating some fantasy. The writer saw an opportunity to relate the imagination closely with various intuitions, as well as emotions in his piece of work. ...

Aquinas provides five arguments to prove the existence of god. He gives his first argument with motion. He says that the senses of the human beings testify that many of the things are in motion. Objects move when their potential motion transforms into real motion. An actual motion can only convert the mentioned potential motion. A thing cannot be both at the same time. Thus, a thing cannot move on its own. Then, it is sure that something else is moving things. It is impossible for the sequence of motion to go on ad infinitum. Thus, the mover who is ...

There is a consistency between the need to kill a loved one’s murderer and that of being against capital punishment. Said consistency finds basis in the emotional involvement of the news recipient in the matter at hand. In addition, their ability to think rationally when faced by the circumstances plays a role in the level upon which everyone acts on their emotions. The idea of losing a loved one because of natural causes or an accident is hard for every person to process. However, having a life of one’s loved one taken in the hands of a murderer is even harder, if not ...

Part I: basic assumptions about the organizational world and how it works

The global economic processes provide both prospects and challenges to a newly formed organizational system. To be a successful manager, one needs to put a strong emphasis on the global and world-centric context of the organization and take these factors into consideration when implementing new policies and practicing leadership in the affiliated organization. The organizational world has become more complex and nowadays is not limited to rationalization of production and increasing organization’s performance. The constantly growing influence of transnational corporations and their access to vast resources obliges them to be socially responsible in order to co-exist with public sphere, governmental bodies, and ...
