Political conditions

The modern age presents multiple channels for action, dialogue and discussion. Furthermore, social and political thought suggests that spaces of remembrance encourage understanding, thought and reflection. Thus, it is thought that memory holds vast opportunities to mend the of frailty of human affairs.

"good" society. The novel illustrates the descent from the boys' utopian society into a primitive tribal culture of conflict which soon becomes a dystopia. This quick fall from law and order stuns the reader into self-realization of the human condition. From the first mention of the Beast, to when Ralph is running for his life from Jack's tribe, fear is a major preoccupation of "Lord of the Flies." Just as fear in world history has been the cause of violence and destruction; it is the force

Aeschylus’s play Prometheus Bound portrays the conflict between the two most powerful factors in human life: knowledge against force or equivalently, intellect against might. Set in a world that is conflicted between opposing political ideals of democracy and tyranny, the play characterizes the protagonist Prometheus as the champion of man who symbolizes the rebel against the tyrant and depicts Zeus as the destroyer of man. Prometheus, nailed to a rock on Caucasus, is at the mercy of Zeus for disobeying

Transculturation in Our Sister Killyjoy and Nervous Conditions Postcolonial insights include theories of Diaspora, cultural hybridity and transculturation. The latter, ‘transculturation’ is the term used to define ‘cultural change induced by introduction of elements of a foreign culture.’[1] The term ‘transculturation’ was first coined by Cuban anthropologist and sociologist Fernando Ortiz in 1947 to describe the phenomenon of merging and converging cultures.

darkness of the cave to free the prisoners. But because he now appears crazy and describes a new strange reality, they reject him to the point that he threatens to kill him. The allegory of the Plato cave is a direct representation of the human condition, the circumstances under which we are today human beings, circumstances such as conceptual framework or basic convictions, and our typical behavior in society. Allegory describes

Twentieth century is marked with two epochs, first half is known as modernism and second half is named as postmodernism. In the latter half of twentieth century there was an overall transferal in terms of culture, economics, religion, history, linguistics, social behavior, philosophy, arts, architecture, and literature. The world has entered into a new phenomenon that is being defined with the prefix of ‘post’. For istance from structuralism to poststructuralism, colonialism to postcolonialism, positivism

While many of his ideas in the field of depth psychology, a field he largely created, have been compromised and challenged over the course of the 20th century his influence remains palpable.

One must ask why it is that authority still exerts such a powerful pull upon our modern sensibilities that sometimes seem to go against mere “Nature.” To discover allegedly “natural” motives for a crime mitigates its severity, since it is frowned upon to revere back to the original “animal” ways of humanity. I shall argue that the moral order of the natural kind is exemplified in the myth of

My favorite memory in high school so far is.... No specific memory stands out above the rest as my favorite memory in high school.
