familiar.” The uncanny does not send us screaming in horror, but instead, evokes a sense of oddness in an unsettling manner. Freud sums up the uncanny in simple terms, unwinding from the semantics of the German words Heimlich and unheimlich. The semantic scope of the words Heimlich and unheimlich in German entwines in a fascinating manner that is not easy to replicate in English. The most favorable way to represent the difference is that Heimlich represents the familiar or the homely, whereas the unheimlich

Abstract Social ecology is defined as the relationship of human beings to their environment. The social ecological approach analyzes the social, behavioral, and physical characteristics that influence community crime rates. This approach was developed in the early 1900s. Social scientists, Robert E. Park and Ernest W. Burgess, of the University of Chicago, developed this ecological analysis. This paper provides an overview of the studies and findings conducted by Robert E. Park and Ernest W. Burgess

Maus, first published as a complete work in 198X, is Art Spiegleman’s artistic work which captures his father’s experience during the Holocaust. Utilizing anthropomorphism, Maus portrays the Germans as cats and the Jewish community as mice. This cat and mouse game, which has become an overused cliché, takes on extremely dark undertones when the analogy is applied to the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Speigleman’s use of the comic medium helps to increase the reader’s defamiliarization

Why is Interventionism Failing? From a decade in “Red” Vietnam to a decade in “Terrorist” Iraq, Post-WWII America consistently has forced its involvement into conflicts, claiming to be defending human rights and democracy. The problem is that the Red Scare had been brainwashing Americans into associating Communism with people who were bent on world domination. America was only viewed as the enemy by the Communists because we insisted on being so. Furthermore, we face a similar problem against those

to have only lasted 100 days, but in reality it started much earlier. Rwanda consists of two main ethnic groups, the Tutsi and the Hutu (Stephen 43). Throughout the years the ethnic group in power switched back and forth. It all began when the German colonial rule split apart the two ethnic groups more than ever before, the Tutsi were seen as the leaders who deserved power while the Hutu were born to serve them. When Belgium took over after World War I they enforced that rule even more: all

INTRODUCTION ON RADARS Have you ever thought how is a missile launched without seeing the target? How do the aero planes do blind landing when the weather is not favourable? How do the air and terrestrial traffic controller know that an unidentified aircraft is trespassing their region? The answer to all these questions is radar. These are different applications of radar and the following thesis will give you an insight in this as well as the efficient methods to makes use of radar. This thesis also

The purpose of this paper is to assess the issues that arise from heroin and other opiate abuse, how the US government is combating it, and what effects these policies have in Afghanistan, the world’s supplier of opium. Heroin was invented in the 1895. (“Opium Throughout History”) It was a new concoction based on morphine, similar to the then popular laudanum, and was initially meant to be used as a cheaper medical substitute at the time. Heroin was never successfully brought into the medical

5. Should the United Kingdom withdraw from the European Union? Background The beginnings of what we know today as the European Union can be traced back to 1952, and the formation of the 'European Coal and Steel Community ' by the 'Inner Six ' founding member states. The ECSC was one of the first examples of a supranational union , designed to prevent the calamity of the two Great Wars from ever happening again. The ECSC later developed into the 'European Economic Community ' in 1967, before formally

presenting a functional and unified family consisting of Marie, a French women, who is married to a German named Karl. They live in the French countryside along with Marie’s father Emile. The schismatic nature of World War I immediately stripped their family apart as a result of their differing sociopolitical identities. Their heritage effectively pits them against each other: Karl fights for the Germans while Emile, even at his age, is forcibly recruited to the French army that opposes them. Marie’s

For a nation flying its diversity flag with boastful pride, the United States exudes historic and current intolerance towards the microcosmic melting pot of mixed children. Self-identity is an unavoidable concern of interracial young persons maturing in present-day America. Society seems concerned with the issue of where the embodiments of multi-races belong as well. Where in the pecking order of society are products of miscegenation placed? For an adolescent already searching for an established
