While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

Fredricks’ In the Midst of Crisis opens with foreboding of something fearful about to happen. The tone is one of impending doom, fear of the unknown by both the protagonist and the audience. While the protagonist is focused on the rescue ship’s absence, the reader is caught up in the darkness and silence the writer’s tone and words portray. The connection between the scene and nature connects the story to the most base of human emotions, while collections of words are used throughout the preface to instill the fear that all the people must be feeling. The ...

One of the most common devices that songwriters use to emphasize an idea or a motif in their work is repetition, both of standard words and onomatopoeias, written out sounds. In Kanye West’s song “Famous,” the speaker wants to emphasize some of the difficulties that go with being famous and dealing with famous people, particularly the disconnect between the idea that famous people have somehow come to deserve their fame on a moral level, as opposed to the often significant moral lapses in their lives. In the video that West made to accompany this song, there are nude ...

Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony. However, discord persists over the impact of various legislation and practices in the integration of immigrants as well as identifiable religious minorities. Multiculturalism, for instance, finds opposition on the premises that it promotes balkanization and isolation of ethnic groups. Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

The demographic profile

As it has been indicated by Kumar et al (2014) in the scope of their study, the lion share of the statistical data on demographic profile of epilepsy from both developed and developing countries may be referred as a retrospective one. It means that there is an insignificant number of the studies, which pertain to the selected age group – children in the current realities of the 21st century (Garzon et al 237-245).

A chemist may be draw to the science because it contains physics and mathematics, with results clearly defined. On the other hand, biology can be messy, with fluids and disrupted bodies and patient suffering.

Technically, the definition for biology is simply the “scientific study of living organisms” (TheFreeDictionary.com), while chemistry is “a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the transformations that they undergo” (Merriam-webster.com). However, the lines blur when ...

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

In a primetime broadcast President Trump announced that his nominee to replace the vacant seat on the Supreme Court left by the untimely death of Antonin Scalia would be U.S. appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch.

Senator Ted Cruz figures prominently in this article. First, it notes that Cruz had been discussed by some as a possible nominee for the ...

Morality and Abortion

1. Is abortion in any sense a moral question, or is it purely a question of individual rights? One strongly believes that abortion is both, a moral issue, as well as a question of individual rights. According to one’s research, abortion falls within the ethical and moral realm in terms of the curtailment of life of the unborn . Accordingly, the authors asserted that “pro-life activists make the cunning argument that abortion is equivalent to murder, and murder is not ethical. Therefore, abortion is unethical” . However, abortion is also a question of individual rights since the woman carrying the ...

Governments and other agencies concerned on the welfare of children must do something to address this worsening situation, or the children will pay the price. Climate ...

The epistolary novel and intimacy are often branded as synonymous terms. The Coquette initially aligns itself as simply an epistolary novel, as the controlled expression of the writers, and limited point of view, offered by the letter form, allows the two leading men to reveal their true thoughts, whether they are the suddenly untempered passions of Reverend Boyer or the duplicitous libertinism of Major Sanford, in a limited and controlled way. However, the often stark contrast between these written confessions and other characters’ perceptions of the writers gives the reader a sense of intimacy, and involvement, in spite of ...

In today’s culture, the world religion means many different things. For some, religion is an ideology, a set of beliefs that guide their daily living and decision making. It provides for them not only a moral compass, but a hope for the hereafter. For others, religion is more cultural.

Milton Friedman believes that in a free society we must not forget that there are two types of freedom and they should not be confused. The proper role of the government is to consider these two ways of understanding freedom - which are freedom from coercion and freedom of ‘free of cost’- and help individuals reach their objectives, interfering with each other as minimum as possible. The government should create opportunities to help people achieve their goals, knowing of course that there is no absolute freedom in society. It is important to notice that for Friedman, the society ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

Introduction

Engineering profession in Canada is self-regulated while in the U.S. it is state-regulated. However, there has been a long-standing debate on whether self-regulation in the engineering profession in Canada has served the public interest in a similar way as the U.S. and other state-regulated regimes. Before engineering was made a self-regulated profession in Canada, there were other professions like medicine and law which were being self-regulated. However, these self-regulated fields had been marred with numerous scandals because they were putting their interests before those of the public. They would increase the cost of professional services and engage in professional ...

Both researchers come at the issue of dominance in male hierarchies with a different set of research subjects. White Watson looks at how white, middle-class teenage boys are prone to excessive violence. She uses the spate of school mass killings as examples of the “boy code” gone wrong. Hinojosa specifically looks at the military and how it creates a “masculine”-type that is recognizable in public (haircut and stance) and is highly competitive between ranks, departments, groups, titles and so forth. White Watson argues, as studies show this, that it is not race, family history, or testosterone that causes ...

Introduction

A comparison of engineering licensure and regulation in the United States and Canada reveal critical differences between the two countries. Nonetheless, the licensure and regulation between the two countries converge at the point where government intervention in the profession offer some level of autonomy for engineers in their duty to promote public welfare and consumer protection. It has to be noted that privileges given to engineers in Canada present tremendous responsibility to the players. Besides, state regulation and licensure in the United States gives the state the watchdog powers to oversee the operations of individual engineers and corporate entities ...

Q1 (a) Adichie’s essay presented two basic examples based on the concept of feminism that exists in the minds of men.

The example gives an impression to the audience that men in the society think that girls are a weaker entity. It also provides an idea that girls have insecurity. Therefore, they tend to look manly to prove themselves as stronger while making a public appearance Q1 (b) Another example that Adichie’s essay has provided is ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Essay 1.

The universal formula of the categorical imperative is an objective law which proceeds from a subjective maxim – action and will. That is, when a given ethical consideration presents itself, a person must ask whether the action of his will agrees with nature (Kant 38). By its definition, the categorical imperative is the basis of duty. By nature, Kant means that which is objective, and that which exists as a part of nature – abiding by the laws of nature (Kant 38). Kant continues by stating that in ethical considerations, or duty, one must act subjectively through one’s will to ...

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

1 Wagner starts his argument with referring to generally acknowledged dislike for Jews, noticed among people worldwide. The author defines it as “a rooted dislike of the Jewish nature” (Wagner 79). At the beginning of the article, the author claims this dislike to be almost completely irrespective of Arts, and Music as the particular art form. Nevertheless, he emphasizes the meaning of Hebrew, which influences Jews’ speech in the most direct way, and its effect in Music. Wagner believes that the ancient language, spoken by the representatives of this ethnicity, is one of the main reasons why Jews are ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Propertarian approach and the democratic approach are the two comprehensive and opposing approaches to copyright.

Although the times of oppression related to gender, class, and race seem to have gone by, the issues of discrimination still matter in our country even nowadays when people finally seem to understand that diversity should be celebrated.
