The physical human body is a vehicle that allows us to carry out all the desires we keep

Dwight Okita wrote the poem "Responce to Executive 9066", while Sandra Cisneros wrote "Mericans", both are about American identity. Okita talks more about culture with your family and Cisneros wrote about cultural heritage and physical appearance. Those three things do not determine if you are fit to be an American or not.

More importantly, Gregory harps on how our hands are what makes use human, because with our hands all our other physical attributes are structured differently. This allows our facial structure to be more of a commutative tool, where our lack of a natural defense tool forced us to be innovative and discover ways to defend ourselves using objects/technologies. So, for Gregory to be human is partial to be an innovative tool

Take a step into a plastic surgery center, and the inevitable will be seen. Self-conscious women will line the waiting room chairs, waiting for their own version of the “perfect body.” In “The Perfect Body is Possible,” written by Hannah Termorshuizen, it makes quite a mockery of women everywhere. The speaker addresses plastic surgeons everywhere about how it is their “calling card” to give women the proper body, even introducing herself as a fellow plastic surgeon, with years of experience. With a sarcastic and witty voice throughout the article, the author effectively reveals the satire with outrageous claims. Since the perfect body is not possible, the author has made that very clear on why it is not by showing that it is, by taking on the persona of a plastic surgeon reaching out to other surgeons to continue to work on women. Recently, society is trying to push the movement that there is no such thing as the perfect body. The author has taken it upon herself to satirically show a surgeon that believes in the perfect body, and how it is possible, by means of plastic surgery.

In particular the flesh, matter, the physical in short, which disconcerts or discourages so many men in love or in solitude, without enslaving me, brought me steady joys. I was made to have a body… To tell the truth, just from being so fully and simply a man, I looked upon myself as something of a superman” (camus28).

For centuries there has been a fascination for the supernatural among people. Artists, astronomers, and philosophers alike entertained the idea of creations that were beyond human. Particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries, many became captivated with alchemy, magic, and the fantastical. Knowledge of these practices would assist people in attaining ideal human qualities, therefore perfecting and making them super or beyond human. It was not until the late 19th, early 20th century that people began to move away from the idea of the fantastical, and shift towards the idea of a human that operated like a machine. These fantasies of creating a machine that embodies the perfect human were popular throughout literature because they incited fear within people due its association with human-identity. Through the centuries, male figures in particular had a desire for the ideal male and female. In 1816, E.T.A. Hoffmann wrote The Sandman that created one image of the ideal-female-machine, which represented the living fantasy of what men considered to be the perfect women of that time period. During the 20th century the image of the ideal male was demonstrated in the play R.U.R. by Karel Čapek, which was a human-machine that was designed to be hardworking, intelligent, and non-emotional. Yet the looming fear associated with the manifestation and potential creation of the male and female super ‘human’-machine made people question what it is to be

The man thought to make a special connection or link between his mind and muscle, by visualizing and thinking about each body movement. The man spent countless hours structuring his mind to analyze each movement and trying to mind control each muscle. To his surprise this technique started to work and the man started to receive hope that he would be able to “find” his body again. Due to his surprising results the man decided to repeat every movement for countless hours so his brain could remember his movements. Results improved and by 4 months he was able to put on socks and soon he was walking by himself. The man also tried to restructure his gesture, but choreographing hand movements and training his brain to remember how to move while he is in public.

The mind is perhaps the most fascinating part of the human body due to its complexity and ability to rationalize. In essence, the mind-body problem studies the relation of the mind to the body, and states that each human being seems to embody two unique and somewhat contradictory natures. Each human contains both a nature of matter and physicality, just like any other object that contains atoms in the universe. However, mankind also is constituted of something beyond materialism, which includes its ability to rationalize and be self-aware. This would imply that mankind is not simply another member of the world of matter because some of its most distinctive features cannot be accounted for in this manner. There are obvious differences between physical and mental properties. Physical properties are publically accessible, and have weight, texture, and are made of matter. Mental properties are not publically accessible, and have phenomenological texture and intentionality (Stewart, Blocker, Petrik, 2013). This is challenging to philosophers, because man cannot be categorized as a material or immaterial object, but rather a combination of both mind and body (Stewart, Blocker, Petrik, 2013). Man embodies mind-body dualism, meaning he is a blend of both mind and matter (Stewart, Blocker, Petrick, 2013). The mind-body problem creates conflict among philosophers, especially when analyzing physicalism in its defense. This paper outlines sound

I used to think of my body as an instrument, of pleasure, or a means of transportation, or an implement for the accomplishment of my will. I could use it to run, push buttons, of one sort or another, make things happen. There were limits but my body was nevertheless lithe, single, solid, one with me.

Jim Harrison and Jack Underwood are two completely different authors who share one thing in common; their poems involve a connection with animals. Jack Underwood writes how he does not care too much about the animals which is the poem called “Totem Pole” as he hunts them and then mentions “to appraise my work only” (Underwood). Jim Harrison writes the poem called “Man Dog” in which the main character cares for his animal so much that he even pretends to act like his animal. In both poems we experience the authors writing in first person and expressing a somewhat somber mood. Jim Harrison and Jack Underwood are both able to connect through animals and through the use of emotions as well as a deeper connection we see how two different poems

It is obvious that biology highlights many ways in which bodies are naturally different, including male and female dissimilarities; a main article which emphasises this is Schiebinger’s “Skeletons in the Closet”, showing that in 1795 a claim of the first illustration of a female skeleton was made. Previously, there was only one ideal skeleton illustration

Women and girls on average struggle with their self-esteem and their overall body image throughout their lives. It especially comes into effect with the constant portrayal of overly skinny mannequins or non-human representations in popular, stores, on the web, and on television (Clifford, 2011). In today’s society the average woman is bigger and mannequins are becoming smaller. It is difficult for the average woman to match their ideal
