Blind men and an elephant

Not only is the author stating that they are evil towards society, but by calling them boneheads it can be inferred that he is calling them ignorant. Ignorance can be dangerous as it can blind many and create antagonism towards Muslims which caused stereotypes and

use our rationality to understand ‘God’ better because our empirical senses deceive us. This is shown in the analogy of the blind men and the elephant. They all gather different ideas of the elephant by touching a different part of it but never completely understand it as a whole. Theoretically, they are all correct. But they must expand their knowledge to understand the elephant completely. However, Gassendi argues that like mathematical infinity, we scale up God’s perfection. By observing those we

I did not know the extent to how disrespectful and entirely inaccurate the images of Indigenous Americans that are portrayed in the media are. For instance, I found it interesting that the Native costume model was placed right next to the pilgrim costume model when they would never be so friendly and close to each other, as they were on opposing sides in the past. Plus, the Victoria’s Secret outfit on the runway is entirely disrespectful, as Native Americans would never wear such revealing clothing

Amidst the ongoing campaigns to challenge British encroachments on the rights of Indians in early 20th century South Africa, Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi coined a new phrase for the spiritual approach he took to his political work: satyagraha. Gene Sharp has written perhaps the most concise explanation of Satyagraha. “Satyagraha,” he writes, “is best translated as the firmness which comes from reliance on truth, and truth here has connotations of essence of being.” Sharp’s description of satyagraha

Many of the identities within the information warfare (IW) community has come to agree that IW is not a single, simple thing, that it has many complex dimensions. “Coming to grips with information warfare…is like the effort of the blind men to discover the nature of the elephant: the one who touched

The American Dream has devolved from Gatsby’s ostentatious lifestyle to the Great Depression’s poverty of low expectations. In Steinback’s novella, Of Mice and Men, the story is shaped by the intense friendship between these disparate characters, Lennie Small and George Milton, and their legitimate aspirations to achieve a dignified livelihood by owning land. Lennie and George lead strenuous, arduous lives. Lenny’s intentions are always pure, but it always ends in death. George’s entire

Another play in this series was Hayavadana which elevated women on a pedastal higher than that of the man. Its theme was borrowed from Kathasaritasagar, a collection of Sanskrit stories. It has a complicated, bizzare plot consisting of two close friends Devdatta and Kapila. It is based on a tale from Vetala Panchavimshika but Karnad borrowed it from Thomas Mann's Transposed Head. It is a play on the mad dance of incompleteness and a search for identity in a world of tangled relationships. Devdatta

Different parallels can be drawn when comparing and contrasting these two
