Chapter 19 In The Humanities

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of the most renowned plays by William Shakespeare, Puck and Bottom have comparative roles for being two different people. They are both comic characters one way or another, and are both critical for the play, as Bottom’s lightheartedness intrigues the audience and Puck’s attitude manipulates the entire plot of the story. They both are an essential part that aided in achieving their goal which Oberon is a part of toward the end of the play.

Christian art is classified as Byzantine, but It is also very difficult to know when Christian art

When someone talked about a humanities class, my thoughts automatically drifted to the arts. I am not someone who is fond of art; it’s nice to look at, but I never cared about why it was made. This class was so much more than just art; it was a history lesson. The most important thing I learned this semester was about myself. I have learned to never judge a book by its cover as I could miss out on something great, and I will take this lesson with me in life.

Since the beginning of the Humanities sequence, numerous themes have been expressed through various pieces of art and literature. A few of these themes have been so prevalent that they have flourished throughout the entire sequence of humanities classes. One of the major themes in particular is the idea of truth and where people have found truth in society. Some believe that truth comes from religion and higher powers, while others believe that knowing as many angles of a certain idea gains knowledge and achieves truth. Over history, truth has developed from an absolute truth to a scientific and existential truth.

“I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals Himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.”(REFERENCE). In his book Ethics: Treatise on The Emendation of the Intellectual and Selected Letters, Spinoza manages to identify the real character of God (or nature). Spinoza displays this through Propositions 10-15, where he explicitly states that there is a God and that there is only one God that exists. In the following paragraphs I will briefly discuss the propositions leading to propositions 10-15 and explain how they contribute to the understanding of propositions 10-15. I will then concisely discuss propositions 10-15. Following this, I will discuss my thoughts on

I wish to apply for the Humanities and Social Sciences position at Dalyellup College. I was particularly inspired to apply for this position because of your schools focus on collaboration and partnerships. As I strongly believe that it is through teamwork and collaboration that teachers continue to grow and develop. That every teacher has their own style, areas of strengths and weakness so it is only through working together that we can strive to become outstanding teachers who have the necessary skills to assist all our students reach their potential. This is why finding a role within a school that has a focus on collaboration was a priority for me when seeking a position for 2017, so that I can share and learn from other teachers in order to keep developing as a teacher. As is it only through being dynamic and innovative that we can continue to engage with our students in our ever changing world and help them achieve success.

I value shared knowledge for it has contributed to my own understanding of the world. Most of the things "I know"-personal knowledge- are my individual interpretation of what "we know"-shared knowledge. There is a strong link between shared knowledge and personal knowledge but the extent to which shared knowledge shapes personal knowledge differs across disciplines. This essay explores the areas of knowledge of the Humanities and the Arts, demonstrates that shared knowledge influences personal knowledge and then discusses the claim that shared and personal knowledge are actually inseparable and may as well be one and the same thing.

The Humanities Faire, which varies year to year, is a very valued outread of Jesse Remington High School. The 2018 Humanities Faire will be Colonial America. Going into the Faire, it is important to know all of the aspects and have an overview of what the Faire is going to focus on. Colonial America is often viewed as just the 13 original English colonies, but often people leave out the fact that there were already French, Spanish, Dutch, and other groups of people in America. That is an important factor to America, along with Great Britain and what happened there to cause people to voyage over to America. Another them that must covered is the religious groups and strifes between those. To accomplish all of this, strong and willing leaders are needed.

Jackson Jackson is an intelligent, articulate homeless man of Native American ancestry. He acutely feels the injustices of colonization, even describing his physical appearance as tainted, because he looks like a 'before Columbus' Indian versus his more magisterial-looking friend. He still has a profound connection to his heritage, as manifested in his desire to win back his grandmother's regalia. He also had a fondness for drinking. Jackson's sense of 'disappearing' relates to the fact that so many Indians in Seattle are homeless, displaced, drunk, and depressed. He feels he has no distinguishing characteristics. People seem to look right through him, and even though he has a moral right to regain his grandmother's regalia, the pawn shop owner refuses to give it back to him, because he knows the law is on his side and will not trust Jackson. Jackson becomes fixated on the notion that he can win back the regalia, and feels he needs to do so like a hero on a quest, rather than filing a complaint through the law.

There seems to be a stigma present in our society, that social sciences and humanities are not as hard and require less work than science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, STEM, majors. In addition, women are still struggling to gain traction in STEM fields, and face gender bias quite frequently, as seen in the fact that women are only paid 77 cents for every dollar made by a man. We hypothesized that STEM majors would be rated as more academically competent than sociology majors. We also hypothesized that male students would be rated as more academically competent than female students. Finally, our combined hypothesis was that males would receive higher ratings of academic competency, overall, regardless of major. There was a total of 263 participants in this survey, 173 of them being female. Participants read paragraphs about either a sociology major named James or Jane, or an engineering major named James or Jane, and then were asked to rate how much they agreed with statements about the student, such as if the student was naturally smart. Participants were also asked how many hours they expected the student to spend studying a week. We found that the engineering students were rated higher for being naturally smart than the sociology students. Additionally, we found that the engineering students were expected to study more hours than the sociology students, and that a female undergraduate was expected to study more hours than a male undergraduate. These results

Motivation is considered to be one of the most powerful tools that enhances the behavior of the employees and allows them to continue in their job, it is an internal force that companies can use to satisfy certain needs to reach certain target. It is based on psychological needs that inspires a performance set by an objective. A motivated employee set his/her goals aligned with those of the company’s and does his/her best to achieve that.

Martha Nussbaum argues that primary, secondary, and especially, higher education institutions are cutting the humanities from curricula. According to Nussbaum, our nation and those like it are economically hungry and are pushing technical careers instead. She disputes that a decrease in the humanities will cause a loss in free thinking, and therefore a loss of democracy. Her argument is based off of her theory that without the humanities, citizens become soulless, mechanical, and profit-making machines. This theory is based off the notion that the humanities are continuing to be cut from curricula at an extensive rate. But are the humanities truly decreasing? Nussbaum is accurate in saying that fewer people are majoring in the humanities; however, she drastically exaggerates the rate in which they are decreasing. In fact, the rate in which the humanities have been declining has levelled out over the past few decades. So, it would seem that democracy is safe, for the most part.

Libraries have a long history towards the ancient world as places used to keep important records such as clay tablets, transcripts and many texts. Many records were destroyed in the course of wars or purposely by some rulers with the changes in government. As a result, writing of literature as well as record keeping was encouraged where classification schemes were initiated to preserve those records of all times. The first formal classification was categorizing the writings into four types, the classics, history, philosophy and miscellaneous works. (Library, 2016). However, these broad categories didn’t help much in guiding to access the increasing collection. The result was, introducing Dewey Decimal Classification as a scheme for the classification of the documents/ materials. (Library, 2016).

It has always been highlighten the kinship between literature and other types of art. Described, a play in drama, while read, a play is literature. Many adaptations on screen are based upon literature, mostly novels, even if, the majority of great plays were already filmed by which, it stimulated the growing process in a young individual. In prsent day, the requirements in writing a film has affected many writers in their style and structure of the novel. Most of modern fiction is written with the purpose of having “movie rights”, another account taken by most publishers. Literature assures the libretto for operas, the theme for most tone poems – even so anomalous, a form as Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra was interpreted in
