Hague Conventions

immediately evident in their main themes. Both works display characters whose lives have been governed almost solely by the conventions of their respective societies. Furthermore, both works also attempt to demonstrate to the reader what happens when these conventions are challenged by individual instincts, which more often than not are in direct contradiction to the dictates of convention. The theme of conventionality versus instinct predominates both works. In

are readily apparent: call out convention. To excel and prosper in any field, one must embrace the unconventional and seek unlikely patterns. But in taking away this apparent lesson from these readings, I want to avoid glorifying the unconventional. What I felt I’ve learned is to not be bounded by the dualism of conventional versus unconventional. Rather, inquire great questions, read extensively, and let the questions take you in, around, and outside of convention. Steven Levitt in Freakonomics

Wordplay is used extensively in all of Oscar Wilde’s plays, and perhaps never more so than in The Importance of Being Earnest, where every scene is peppered with double entendres, puns and aphorisms. The world of the play is a high parody of Victorian society at the time – it both follows the rules and doesn’t; norms are undermined through wordplay, and language is endlessly adaptable through puns and paradoxes. Sos Eltis notes of the characters in this play that “nothing stands in the way of their

Society is made up of countless different groups and cultures, each in which differs from one another. Every culture and group within society has a set of norms, or expected behaviors, that have been set in place and are to be followed. When determining the norms within other cultures, one must first examine the values of the culture. Values are “the standards by which people define what is desirable or undesirable, good or bad, beautiful or ugly” (Henslin, 2011, p. 49). Being able to understand

“Voice of Imprisoned Woman” in Girish Karnard’s “Nagmandala” Ms. Seema Sharma, Research Scholar Banasthali University Abstract Girish Karnad austmerely scrutinizes the unvoiced mental and physical pain of a woman whose conscious and unconscious mind is conditioned so completely that she sees herself and the world around her only in a way man would like her to see through the play “Nagmandala”. Starting from the ancient to the modern era, woman is just like clay in the hands of the patriarchal society

The Charlotte Convention center is proud to be the host of the Independent party convention; throughout the convention we will be the host to the various activities that will enhance the party’s incentives. During political conventions there are a lot of activities that happen throughout the course of these events. The event planning committee is preparing for a wide range of events such as speeches, nomination process, seminars, the stating of the party platform, and parades. While all these

Introduction Society has certain commonly accepted customs called norms. When a certain behavior has widespread practice, society as a whole views that action as normal, thus, creating a norm. Once groups establish norms, they rarely change or remove them. Consequently, two norms cannot contradict one another. Members of society follow norms, since individuals at a young age model their behavior from others. This allows norms to pass from generation to generation without being explicitly taught

I absolutely love to spend hours on top of hours throwing spherical objects into a raised hoop possessing an 18-inch diameter, only to retrieve said object, force it to the ground repeatedly, and throw it at the hoop once again. To someone dumbfounded by the idea of the previous sentence, this activity is quite bizarre and pointless, but to someone like me, it’s a lifestyle. It’s tradition. It’s second nature.

A social norm is a behavior accepted and expected by society. We learn social norms from feedback, called sanctions, we get from our peers and elders. A sanction can be positive or negative; if it is positive it is a sort of reward that encourages the behavior and if it is negative it is a sort of punishment meant to discourage the behavior. For example, when children fart in public they break the social norm and are scolded or negatively sanctioned by their parents with yelling or are bullied by
