    Classicism evolved in the 18th and 19th century throughout Europe following the enlightenment period. The end of the American and French revolutions was the start of many important changes in political beliefs and the idea of equality was strongly enforced. (Bruce A. Arrigo, Heather Y. Bersot, 2014). Classical criminology is a viewpoint of crime, which resulted from a hedonistic approach where behavior leans towards maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. A basic principle of classicism meant that

    Responding to the smile of a baby, jumping-up when startled by a sudden sound, or even pulling your hand away from a hot fire are all examples of instinctive behaviour; instinct does not involve thought but is an automatic, evolutionary response to external stimuli. Instinctive judgements are more intuitive in nature but though related, in terms of both not involving conscious thought, instinct and intuition are not the same. Intuition is based on subconscious thought; a pattern recognized by

    When I say "monsters", I don't mean the ones that only come out at night and hide in the darkness, I'm talking about the monsters that reside in our minds. The monsters that we deal with on a daily basis, and overwhelm us if we don't control them. We all have these monsters, no matter if they are huge or minuscule, and how much they affect our lives. The monsters that I deal with are constantly driving me towards procrastination and anxiety, and I must learn to overcome, or I will be consumed. Procrastination

    For Postman, the human modes of communication play an important role in terms of shaping discourse. If one can understand the role that methods of communication play in shaping culture and discourse, one can better understand how communication impacts the development and subsequent spread of culture and knowledge. Therefore, constructing an understanding of human epistemology requires an analysis of the prevalent mediums of communication within society. Postman argues that the unique nature of

    For decades humanity has fought an ongoing war between emotional and logical reasoning. Some tend to trust by nature, and convince themselves to make the impossible possible, no matter how bleak the situation may seem. However, there is a point when this optimism turns to lunaty. Others think more rationally, making cogent discussions over all desire. But are these “rational choices” more important than sentiments of the heart? Perhaps the best representation of these differentiating mind sets is

    Fever Crumb Characters In the beginning of the story the main character, Fever Crumb, is rational and reasonable. “Then there was her hair, or rather, lack of hair.

    My preliminary thought (being influenced by American culture) is that it is unjust to force someone to comply with – at least some of – your beliefs. However, I also hope I can rationalize that idea. The word “force” connotatively implies, ‘to impede upon something’; in this case the impediment would be upon a form of freedom, since one is not free to make choices in what they believe. Arguably, the freedom to make choices (especially concerning beliefs) is not a human law, but a natural law of intrinsic
