Pronouns

prevent the problem of transgender youth being bullied is to try to influence children to not see transgender youth as different. Transgender persons will never feel accepted into our society unless we change our discourse in the way we use gender pronouns. The universal “he” taught to children is problematic. Even using the term “he or she” to address the issue of

A diagrammatic representation of opinion is given below. Fig.1 Opinion mining basic flow Opinion mining has three basic terminologies on which it can be processed. These are, a. Object: that is the entity or commodity regarding which opinion has to be given. b. Opinion holder: the one who gives the opinion, also known as the author. c. Opinion: the particular statement or the corresponding opinion which is expressed by the opinion holder or the author.

Is beauty purely subjective or objective? Is it only white or black with no shades of gray? Both philosophers I am going to discuss would say yes, albeit on opposite ends of the spectrum. Ducasse defines beauty as “the capacity of an object aesthetically contemplated to yield feelings that are pleasant” (Ducasse, 1966). In summary, he means this to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Frankly, this is a hard stance to counter because all it says is that if one thinks something is beautiful

Winnicott made unique contributions to the field of psychology in that his theories are primarily concerned with abandoning psychopathology in favor of the quality of emotional development of self, and how an individual’s subjective experiences in their early childhood relations contributes to their development (Phillips, 1995). Winnicott gives attention to the mother-child relationship and incorporates much of Klein’s ideas around the inner reality of the infant and its object relations (Mitchell

It has been a great eight-week course and my view of Philosophy has changed a lot. I never took a class like this and learned a lot not only about various Philosopher’s but also about myself. This class allowed me to look inward at myself and reflect on my decisions throughout my life. Learning about Thoreau, Socrates, Frankl and Pieper and their view and experiences were fun and made me think about what Philosophy is and why we need it in our lives. The reading and discussion that had the most impact

Roche-Mahdi’s translation many others translate “Et li values qui est mescine”(3785) as “the boy who is a girl”. This shows that the narrator prefers referring to Silence with a masculine gender. This is also seen through the narrators use of gender pronouns, using he/his to refer to Silence. This passage hints to the reader that in fact appearance, behavior, and accomplishments reveal gender more than Silence’s biologically sex. Due to gender being seen as binary in medieval times, Silence struggles

No Need for the Lex-Syn Parameter: The Case of Reflexivization Reinhart and Siloni (2005; R&S hereafter) claim that two distinct patterns are observed across languages regarding reflexivization; and this crosslinguistic variation, according to R&S, can be attributed to the setting of the Lex(icon)-Syn(tax) Parameter in each language, which determines whether arity operations like reflexivization should apply in the lexicon or in the syntax. Specifically, according to R&S, in languages like English

In America, our identity often comes from the culture we live in and develop for ourselves. The identity of many Americans is also developed by their actions. Some groups develop an identity by speaking their native language, like some members of “Chinatown” in various American cities. Others develop their identities by the way they dress, music they listen to, and their sexual identity. We can clearly see some of the largest factors used to develop one’s identity is the area in which they live in

The World What is Whitman seeking to accomplish through his use of the pronoun, “I”, in Song of Myself? Ever since we have started reading Song of Myself in class, Whitman’s failure to acknowledge himself as Walt Whitman, but rather the much broader “I” has intrigued me. Rather than make the poem his own- as many poets chose to do at the time- Whitman chooses to act as an observer in the grand scheme of life and use the pronoun, I, adding layers of depth to the meaning of the poem. However, the reason

I identify as a heterosexual woman, my pronouns are she and her, I grew up with a clear understanding of my sexuality, and what I mean by that is I knew I was sexually attracted to men. After answering the heterosexual questionnaire, I realized how insulting it all is to be questioned about something extremely personal, honestly no one else’s business, as well as how insulting it all can be, for example, “What do you think caused your heterosexuality?” and “Is it possible your heterosexuality is
