In Adrienne Rich’s article “Notes towards a Politics of Location,” Rich argues that positionality is a way of understanding how power and privilege affect perspective. I am in agreement with Rich that recognizing one’s own politics of location is a useful starting point for feminist theory. Rich’s main arguments are that the US education system failed to provide an adequate retelling of world histories, that white feminism is ignorant of its privileges, and that through the awareness and inclusion

is too distraught to listen to him. At a barbeque the next day at Twelve Oaks, the neighboring plantation, Scarlett is surrounded by even more admirers, but she is overtaken by jealousy when she sees Ashley and Melanie together. The roguish Rhett Butler sees Scarlett on the staircase and expresses interest in her, but Scarlett corners Ashley in the library to confess her love for him. When Ashley says they are too different to be together and leaves, Rhett reveals he has been listening the whole

Thomas Hobbes and Francis Hutcheson both represent a move towards a materialist and psychologistic explanations of morality. Stemming from the nominalist views characteristic of the early modern period, both thinkers are influenced by a need for clarity, and apodicticity in philosophy in general, along with moral philosophy specifically. Specifically moral claims can and should be reduced to emotions and sensibility rather than some vague notion of "rational nature". Specifically, moral claims can

circumstance and pay more attention to pragmatic analysis. J. L. Austin (1999), who proposes the concept of “performative”, shows us the underlying ability of language that the utterance can actually do things. Based on the work of Austin, Judith Butler (1999) develops the language philosophy from “performative” to “performativity” in relation to gender. I will argue that language used to utter a sentence in a proper environment is not merely a description, but a real action. And in terms of gender

Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee is a fictionalized play on the Scopes Trial, formally known as the Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes. In July 21, 1925, a high school teacher was accused of violating the Butler Act. This act made it illegal to teach evolution in any state funded school. Although Scopes was unsure he taught evolution, he incriminated himself and was found guilty. The subject of the play reflects this event except Inherit the Wind holds themes of censorship,

I didn’t know what to expect on my first day of English 202. I had no idea what English 202 meant or what exactly I would be doing in the class. I quickly learned and began to understand what being an English major was all about. In my fall English 202 class, I did well with inward-looking theories and discovered that was my preferred way to approach a literary text, though I still enjoyed some out looking theories like psychoanalytic. Going forward in my major I would like to work on my time management

In their play Inherit the Wind, Lawrence and Lee’s fictionalization of the Scopes Trial illustrates how the mid-twentieth century movement against intellectualism infringed upon the Constitutional rights of Americans. By manipulating details, Lee and Laurence distanced themselves from the repercussions they may have faced during the McCarthyism era. Furthermore, the addition of new characters and plot differences makes for a more entertaining play. The playwrights specifically avoid referencing

1925 Tennessee passed the Butler Act. Making it unlawful in public schools to teach any theory that denies the story of divine creation as taught by the Bible. But to teach instead that man was descended from a lower order of animals. It was in the small town of Dayton, Tennessee where a 24 year old fresh out of college , high school substitute named John Scopes taught the theory of evolution to a biology class. This was just two months after the passing of the Butler Act. John Scopes was then charged
