Out of all the world's religions, Jainism is one of the eldest. This system of beliefs is a mixture of strong philosophy with ethics and religious ideas. In contrast to theistic religions like Christianity, Islam, or Judaism, Jainism does not have any particular God. It is a human and self-oriented religion, with its ultimate goal consisting in breaking the limits of suffering i.e. in purifying the own karmic body. The Jain way of achieving a higher state of understanding and consciousness is based on three main pillars or as they are called "three jewels": deep faith, right knowledge, ...

Abstract

Contemporary attachment theory also known as modern attachment theory is a psychological paradigm that seeks to elucidate the changes of long term and short term relational association among humans. The theory specializes on specific aspects of human response to specific occurrences in their lives rather than the general relationships. For instance, a young child will develop a strong attachment to the person who is taking care of them regularly. On the other hand self psychology theory is an advanced psychoanalytic theory whereby efforts to understand individuals from within subjective experience is made through abnormal self-examination basing renditions on the ...

Composition I (GT-CO1): Winter15-C-8-ENG101-1

As student loan debts skyrocket, young Americans hoping to establish a decent standard of living are forced to take on this insurmountable debt in order to pursue a higher education. Therefore, college is a necessary evil in today’s fast paced, highly skilled and competitive global market. No longer are entities like large labor unions a feasible option for the working class individuals who stop their educational pursuit after receiving a high school diploma. Instead, in the current age there is a need, almost a requirement for a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree, and ideally up to a ...

Assignment Title

Putnam’s Experiment Is this paper real? Or this assignment is nothing more than an illusion? While these questions require more of a practical answer than the deep thought, the questions arose by Plato, Descartes, and subsequently, the Matrix are a subject for serious philosophical consideration. Is this world real or is it just an illusion? Such questions are often ignored because of their lack of practical outcomes as well as the titanic scale of influence over the human mind. The world we live in often seems mysterious to us, it may seem strange, beautiful, unjust, or even friendly, ...

Indian philosophy is unique for its valuable interpretation of life, soul and rebirth. Doctrines of Bhagavad Gita to a great extent reflect the spiritual insight of Indian philosophy. Gita is also known as Gitopanisad, which is one of the several books of Mahabharata, the great Indian epic. The setting of the Bhagavad Gita is that when Kurukshetra begins (the great battle between Pandavas and Kauravas), the great Pandava warrior Arjuna gets confused with the ethic of fighting against his cousins and relatives. Lord Krishna, his friend and charioteer, clarifies this point to him. Notable one among ...

Visual literacy can be referred to as the ability of interpreting, negotiating and making meaning from the presentation of information as an image. This term extends the meaning of literacy with a common significance of interpreting a printed or written text. Visual literacy is set on the basis of the idea that there can be reading of picture and the meaning can be understood thoroughly by the process of reading (Maronitis, 2007). Reading is important as it encompasses to acquire multiple knowledge, skills, and acts enabling individuals for comprehension of textual meaning. Reading can be considered as a complex ...

Why ecology? What does Ophuls argue? (p. 29, 39-43)

The main task of the ecology is to return humans back to the bosom of nature. Our present day situation is the depiction of our misunderstanding of our place in this world and our world as a whole. The ecology is a way of finding the peace and balance with our environment. In our paradigm, the concept of ruling and governing natural resources and nature itself has been rooted so densely that we have only recently started to notice that something goes wrong. Our dream techno civilization with its developed industry and high-yield crops, in reality, is not sustainable ...

The plot of Woman Hollering Creek is that a young Mexican ...

Modernity is one of the most significant periods of the human history when crucial changes in peoples thinking happened. The philosophy of modernity has its particular features which are rather unique. It seems that some special factors which simultaneously had simultaneously appeared at that time shaped the base of modernity with further formulation of its sense. One of these factors is the impact of great philosophers of that time, such as Marx, Weber and Foucault. They made crucial contribution to modernity, their works are considered to be the riches of art. That is why it is important to conduct ...

Cultural assimilation reflects the fusion and the interpretation of the different ethnic minority groups in the dominant culture of the society. The immigrant group is expected to assume the behavior, norms and values of eth dominant group and their challenges stem from the lack of tolerance for these groups by the majority groups that are not tolerant of the differences in the racial and ethnic of the minority groups. The minority group cannot effect any change in the society and as a result, the ethnic characteristics or beliefs of these minority eventually disappear. On the other hand cultural diversity ...

Studying non-religion entities, individuals, events, organizations, or cultural phenomena in the light of a religious outlet can help us understand the similarities between religious and non-religious events or phenomena, which can further help in reducing the difference between the two factions. In this paper, Smith’s 6 principles are applied to an organization called “Coca-Cola”, to understand the difference between the principles in religious and non-religious context.

Compare and contrast the views of John Searle and Rene Descartes on dualism.

For Rene Descartes’ dualism is Spiritual; for John Searle, it’s Physical. Descartes believes the mind has consciousness and with that power we can say that the ‘seat-of-intelligence’ belongs to the brain. He also believes that through this we acquire self awareness, but for Searle, consciousness is not only because of the brain. Though brains cause consciousness, he points out that the brain is not the only thing that can produce consciousness. He even states that if ever we built an artificial machine that has consciousness. it further proves the point. He also says that the relationship ...

Max Weber identified distinctive differences between formal and substantive rationality. Weber believed that substantive rationality was built around the various belief systems people held such as religion or work, and the rationale each person used to judge events or people were based on those personal beliefs (Karlberg 1980). According to Weber, everyone employed substantive rationality, but everyone’s substantive rationale was different based on their particular beliefs. The reality people experienced was unique to individuals as it was interpreted by the values against which their reality experiences were weighed. Essentially, individuals interpreted their experiences of events and people in ...

For decades, television is a constituent part of people’s daily lives, all over the world. More than a routine, television represents a social tool for aligning viewers on a certain pattern of thinking or seeing the perceived reality transmitted through various programs. Most people are educated in the concepts that mass media, through television as one of its main mechanisms, serve their audiences. The topics presented through television programs are a reflection of the social reality. By presenting the social reality from a certain angle, television shapes attitudes and creates stereotypes. For instance, “The Wire” television program manipulates ...

Criminals have been committing crimes for many centuries. Crimes that stemmed from stealing, murder, rape, and abduction and many more as the years accumulated. Over many centuries people have been speculating theories as to why people commit crimes. The people normally were educated either in the criminal field or related field, and wanted to find out the answer to criminal behavior. The people or theorists believed certain reasons were what caused a person to commit crime. They knew those reasons had to not be prominent in everyone, because not everyone turned into criminals. As the years have passed the ...

Corporal punishment is considered inflicting of physical pain upon a prisoner as a punishment for violation of a prison rule or regulation. Such forms of conduct include, but are not limited to whipping, cold shower, electrical shocking devices and suspension from cell bars by handcuffs. The use of solitary imprisonment as a system of punishing violations of prison discipline is not included within corporal punishment definition. Most states have no statutes that specifically forbid the use of corporal punishment. Other states, however, prohibit corporal punishment in detention facilities by the statue. The use of corporal punishment to reinforce prison ...

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 ...

Introduction

The concept of European integration was created in the post-Second World War period. The initial objective was to encourage countries to unite by building stronger economic and industrial cooperation. Originally, the European Union (EU) was created as a common market, but it eventually evolved into a political alliance. The origin of the EU has been marked by two key components, namely, the formation of a common market devoid of internal boundaries between the cooperating member states and political alliance. The birth of European integration roughly five decades ago was centered on the formation of a common market. The formation ...

Karl F Friday adds hugely to our comprehension of the historical backdrop of Heian Japan. As a military antiquarian of the "new military history" influence, Friday concentrates on how the "warrior request" became an adult in the tenth century. Its people were battling men who were secretly prepared and trained, and they served as authorized masters for the Kyoto court. The warrior chieftain whose life makes these epochal improvements especially unmistakable is Taira Masakado. A great part of the proof for Fridays story originates from a narrative known as the Shõmonki (truly, "The Record of Masakado"), which, luckily, ...

People's belief in God is a very personal experience and they are free to join whatever church that most closely aligns with the individual's choice to practice their religion. Catholics believe that they are the only true church; the Jews believe that the messiah is still coming. And so the list of the nuances of the religions goes on and on. In this paper an attempt will be made to examine the Scientology, Heaven's Gate, and Transcendental Meditation as a method of serving God. The end result is the same in that all hope for eternal salvation. But the ...

Growing up in the world is difficult enough without having to worry over matters that are either too difficult or impossible to change. An African-American cannot spontaneously become a Caucasian anymore than a Latino can become Asian. The point within such a statement is that one is no better or worse than the other, and in the field of education every single person who tries deserves at least the chance to show that they are capable of learning and making the best of what they can be. When it comes to learning what matters is the process of education ...

“Why Teachers Should Organize” of Margaret Haley is an interesting article meant for teachers not only during Haley’s time but even teachers today. It is not a question that some teachers today tend to teach mechanically as they think teaching is their bread and butter. However, if you think about it, there should be no wrong in setting teaching as a source of living. The problem is that teachers are not well compensated. Like during the time of Haley, the problem still lies with the lack of understanding that teachers who are well compensated tend to be give ...

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 ...

We read and listen to news that tell us what to think, we see movies that tell us how other people are and we believe we are creating our own views about them. However, these are some of the mechanisms through which mass media are creating stereotypes. We know, based on what TV shows and other media teach us, that Italians are loquacious, that Latin Americans are U.S. immigrants, that Muslims are dangerous and pose terrorist threat, or that Asians are stoic (Lewis, “When Cultures Collide”). Moreover, mass media also teache us that African Americans are low achievers, blue ...

Life has become lot more complicated than what it was ever before in the history of mankind. Probably, even in comparison to as late as the last fifty years, life today is far more complex, communicative, and all life events seem to happen in real time. Today, there is so much knowledge about everything and knowledge is virtually free. Knowledge no longer endows a strategic advantage on the holder of knowledge. There is so much complexity that everything seems specialize. Knowledge is so freely available today that everyone acquires it at all levels and therefore carry an opinion of ...

Virtual Reality (VR) may be described as an artificial environment which is software created. It is presented in a manner which makes the user to suspend beliefs and adopt it as a real or actual environment (Cianfrone & James, p. 286-290). VR is experienced with computers through the use of two senses from the real five senses, that is, sounds and sight senses. The simplest and most basic form of VR is expressed as a 3-dimensional image which can be interactively explored at the desktop or personal computer (PC) (Huang & Hsuan, p. 274-283). This interaction is often achieved by the ...

Rashomon is a movie that marks best manifestations of the world intellectual history. It was directed more than 60 years ago, but still remains well timed. Rashomon questions individual perception of four important human concepts: truth, fact, reality, and objectivity. According to the dictionary, “truth” is something corresponding to reality, “fact” is an occurrence that really happened, “reality” is a social realm, something people really see, and “objectivity” means equity and lack of prejudice. Rashomon concentrates on the story of the samurai who was killed, and his wife who was raped by the bandit; however, the real killer of ...

Group identity has negative and positive effects on people in the society. For some persons, there is the belief that single person or specific groups in the society must make personal sacrifices that involves giving up one’s freedom and right so that the larger portion of the society may benefit. In the contemporary society, people make a lot of personal sacrifices for political, religious, social or economic reasons and these sacrifices often lead to an infringement on the rights of those who make these sacrifices. There are those who recognize that the needs of the society are greater ...

In the mid-1990s, some theorists examined the phenomenon of field and its technique. This concept expresses fullness and constant presence of natural forces and events in architecture; it appears in contrast to the old displaced concept of space. The concept of field describes an expanded space and its effects. It does not contain definite values and does not focus on a material structure; it reflects the main functions, vectors, and velocity. Theorists believe that the emergence of the field concept, its state, and field conditions is a sure sign that there exists a renewed interest in ultimately understood context ...

The disparity between how society perceives the criminal justice system and how it actually works is a common occurrence that tends to skew how one impacts the other. A popular view of how the justice system works is provided by the media, which carries a great deal of sensationalism in an attempt to entertain the masses. Unfortunately this tends to instill the idea that justice is a series of one-liners and neatly completed cases that, regardless of their outcome, are final and without any further consequences. The idealized view of the criminal justice system is far different from its ...

One of the most intriguing and important questions that can be asked by an individual is on whether or not God exists and if there is any way to prove God’s existence. Depending on one’s belief, the responses may be varied on proving the existence of God as being easy or impossible. For the religious believers, such as Christians and Catholics and those of other religious denominations the answer would simply be yes God exists and we humans are the proof of God’s existence. However, from a philosophical or scientific standpoint the answer to God’s ...

Corporate social responsibility and climate shifts: Introduction

The task in connecting corporate responsibility and ethical business practices is to make the engaged parties move towards resolving the problems in the area. Climate shifts is one topic that is well suited in this area. The issue of climate change requires an in-depth study in that there is a rising disconnect between the increasing public adoption of the prevalence and the critical nature of the dilemmas it presents and the reluctance and even outright hostility by corporate leaders and policy makers, specifically those in the energy exploration and generation industry, to acquiescing with the impacts ...

The point of view is a perspective from which the author chooses a narrator to tell a story. The third-person narrators are usually observers but not characters in the story. Kate Chopin in “The Story of an Hour” uses the third-person omniscient narrative, which captures the reader and makes him sympathetic to Louise Mallard. The reader has a possibility to see how the woman interacts with other characters, her thoughts, and feelings. Indeed, the omniscient narrator is able to tell the story of Louise’s hour of evolution and freedom but the happiness lasted only for an hour before ...

There is no better example of the unethical, irrational, and questionable discussion than watching the circus of politicians’ debate during this election year in the United States. In the most recent farce by the GOP candidates in New Hampshire was quite a spectacle. One must ask where the rational, believable, and trustworthy politicians have gone, if there ever were any to begin with. However, the role that political leaders take on should involve respectable rational dialogue that can be trusted by the people who elect the officials rather than putting on a spectacle that is nearly as entertaining as ...

Managers who do not work in their native country should be particularly aware of the cultural limitations of a particular leadership style. Studies show huge differences between leadership styles within different countries. This gives food for the research, especially important in today's world of multinational corporations. Europeans generally are more influenced by traditions, and they are more susceptible to the autocratic leadership rather than, for example, Americans. On the other hand, despite the fact that the Japanese culture appreciates tradition and loyalty, the Japanese widely and effectively use workers' participation in decision-making. The manager who wants to work as ...

Why the protagonist remains unnamed?

The protagonist remains unnamed for two reasons. (1) The protagonist remaining unnamed creates a separation for the narrator. The narrator returns for a funeral, but he does not appear to want to interact with anyone. He then walks over to Hempstock Farm where he sees Lettie’s mom. The narrator begins remembering events that happened when he was 7. Since most of the book takes place as a memory it would make sense that the protagonist would remain unnamed because most people do not refer to themselves by their name in memories. (2) Names are power, when the antagonist ...

There are a fury of disclaimers that the author adopts at the beginning of this book, which are aimed at distinguishing between her own endeavors and what the actors could exercise in the course of acting. This book is scientifically constructed since the author in most cases aligns herself with scientific concepts, and not performers (Ehrenreich, 2011).

The writing of Karl Marx are often maligned in the Western world because of their significant political aspects. The ideas, thoughts, and conclusions about humanity that Marx wrote were not spurious, or random ideas from a frustrated, and underpaid writer; he was a learned man and collaborated with others to become was the principal designers of what is referred to in the 21st Century as social science. As with any other writer and thinker, each person is free to agree, or disagree with Marx’s ideas, what cannot be ignored however, is the impact Marx has ...

As the culture and the techniques of advertising and exerting influence on human mind progress, we face more and more elaborate depictions and images of the human body. Jean Kilbourne's lecture presents a variety of them and gives some explicit comments. In the ads that surround ads, people age mainly shown either as unreachable idols or as things personifying some quality, concept, or even brand. While these depictions may seem to be genuinely different, in reality, they produce the same effect on the consumer. They dehumanize them, both the subject of objectification and the idol which is regarded only ...

All humans lie. I do believe that. Can you tell when someone is lying? What do you do when you are lied to? Do liars have different brain structure? Why do we choose to deceive ourselves? The Radiolab broadcast entitled “Deception” addresses each of these questions. The broadcast consists of three sections: Catching Liars, People Who Lie, and Lying to Others. Each section explores deception through interviews with various professionals. In each section, many psychological perspectives can be detected. Although I found each section intriguing, it is the last section that really brought up thought-provoking questions in the area ...

Fairytales are much often made of stuff related to fantasies and fancies. Fantasies of a child and possibly that of a child who never grows up continues to exist in an adult body in the form of imaginative figments. Such imagination is so lucid that it translates almost to reality, maybe the surreal and the virtual reality. Princess Bride is also a story of fantasies that have occasionally gone wrong, but again, the imagination is so fertile that it is apparently very close to the reality. The main character Billy believes in certain amount of reality behind wild imaginations. ...

Emily Dickinson is an original poet as she used her pen to challenge the existing conventions of poetry. Throughout her poems, Emily clearly experimented with a style of expression that moved away from the traditional styles of poetry and took on a unique style that made her speakers sharp-sighted observers who face the challenges of no escape from their societies. Additionally, Dickenson used her poems as a sword that would serve to liberate the speakers from the inescapable boundaries of the society. Clearly, Dickenson wrote poems that broke away from the traditional rules of poetry which challenged the narrow-minded ...
