Many Americans tend today to believe that Sebastian Junger and his Tribe, especially the extract from the book called, War Makes You an Animal perfectly reveals the true nature of the war. Common sense seems to dictate that when it starts the horrible consequences, and many broken hearts and lives are an inevitable part of war process. Junger did a brilliant job, he perfectly portrayed how war can change the human beings and compared them to animals, those who seek another animal in order to comfort oneself that you are not the only human left on the Earth who ...

Abstract

The question of memory has been an interesting one in psychology for some time. Brown-Peterson hypothesized that distraction tasks have a role to play in how well our memory works, and that this can be measured by a simple task. This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

There are two objectives: to generalize knowledge of the subject matter of criticism – “the literature” – and to provide an interpretation. The term "theory" originates from the Greek "theoria". "Theoria" indicated a view or perspective of the Greek stage. (Iep.utm.edu) That is what literary theory offers in general, although some specific theories suggest complete systems for interpreting literature. At ...

Empathy is present in both the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and in the film Blade Runner based on this novel. Phillip K. Dick’s story is used to reveal a dystopian society in which humans and replicants cohabitate and these androids are detected by The Voight-Kampff test. However, it turns out that androids are capable of developing empathy as well as humans and that not all of them are the same, just like not all the people are the same. Humans possess empathy, but there is also a possibility of androids to acquire it. This point ...

Sebastian Haffner was one of the people who did not like the Hitler’s regime. He fled Germany to England in 1938. However, Haffner did not create any significant resistance against the Nazi regime. By the time he was leaving Germany, Haffner was leaving with a Jewish woman who was expecting her child. His relationship with the Jewish lady made him a potential target for persecution by the Hitler regime. Fascist regimes always identify an enemy or scapegoats as a unifying cause. The Nazi regime recognised the Jewish as enemies and the regime was out to eliminate them from ...

Whether it is Falstaff serving as a foil for the more serious side of the young prince Henry, who has his own partying to do before he has to take on the more serious role of governing England (Shakespeare), or whether it is Al Czervik, the outrageous jester who somehow has found his way onto the golf course of Bushwood Country Club in the film Caddyshack, the Fool points out many of the elements of human nature that otherwise might remain safely ...

Appreciating culture is one of the most difficult yet rewarding experiences. There are so many pieces of art across so many decades that one does not know where to start unless given some kind of guidance. I chose J. S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury and Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs in order to evaluate culture and its values. One of the greatest composers of all time was Johann Sebastian Bach. His music is greatly revered as some of the best even to this day. I listened to his ...
