Defining “historical context” may lead one to focus on the word “historical,” however the true focus should be set on the word “context,” because it is the noun of the saying while “historical” is just the descriptor. Context defines the time in which something occurs. Claude Bélanger, a professor for Marianopolis College, explains that context “is understood as the events, or the climate of opinion, that surround the issue at hand.” Now with context defined, “historical” gives meaning. Adding in the descriptor, “historical context” can be broken down to the study of past events from a perspective of which it occurred.…

Common belief in today’s world is most likely based on an individual’s behavior such as upbringing, personal crime history, personality, etc. These factors might seem reasonable and logical but is it these factor or is it just merely the idea of nature vs nurture? In “The Power of Context” by Malcolm Gladwell, Gladwell examines the role of the environment and its impact on one’s decisions and behaviors. He does this through three key broad ideas: the Power of the Context, the Law of the Few, and the Stickiness Factor.…

The Rogerian Argument, coming from Carl Rogers’ theory, is an effective analysis within written arguments. Essentially, it involves adopting the role of a once therapist to aid in solving or coming to a compromise of an issue. The passage “Letter to a Southern Baptist Minister” written by Edward O. Wilson, argues that religion and science could potentially join together. The author uses restatement, which just manipulates the words of the speaker to change their understanding. He proves his point by not confronting his opponent in an adversarial argument.…
In this paper I will be showing what my Reformed worldview is in contrast with other worldviews of this time. A worldview is how one views the world. This view will differ from person to person depending on how they see this world. For example a secular humanist will have a different view than I would as a Christian because I am looking at the world through the lens of scripture while the secular humanist would be looking at this world through the lens of science and the idea of God being obsolete. In dealing with worldview there are ten disciplines that have different meaning for each these are History the study of the past places, persons, and events, Philosophy the love of wisdom; attempt to discover an explanation for the whole existence, Psychology the study of the soul, mind, and spirit, Theology the study of the existence (or non-existence), nature and attributes of God, Law the study of principles of conduct or procedure which are expected to be observed, Economics the rule or management of resources, whether by an individual or a society, Ethics the study of conduct, moral values, duties, actions and ends, Sociology the study of social institutions and society, Politics the art of governing a city, state, or nation, and finally Biology the study of living organisms.…
According to Robert Townsend, assistant director for research at the American Historical Association, historians are researchers who develop a sense of the standard opinions on a particular historical subject by reading other historians’ work on the subject, then use source materials, where they get their support and evidence from, to build new interpretations or follow new insights. Their findings are then put together in books, articles, websites, reports or museum scripts. Throughout their careers, historians are likely to come to face many obstacles, especially when it comes to analysing certain works or events. Contemporary affairs, or even morals and prejudices might influence the interpretation of ancient work, hence explaining why…
Perspective A discourse community is a social group or can be something that inquires shared values, practices, or can even share the same language. A speech community, however; is not the same thing as a discourse community; a speech community is a community that shares the knowledge of rules for the conduct and interpretation of speech. (WaWpg.219) Defining a discourse community can be hard due to the range of different types of discourse communities. Examples of a discourse community would be a church group, sports team, work scene, and even the neighborhood skater group.…
Ogene Ochai Professor Thomas Writ 101 9 September 2014 Literacy Narrative Moving to the United States was a very hard transition for me. Learning how to speak the American English, and learning their spelling words was so difficult because I was raised speaking British English, learning the morals, culture and how you guys communicated with one another was also a hard part of moving down here. I already knew how to speak English when I moved to the United States, but I spoke British English, and spelt words differently from the Americans. For example, the Americans spells color without a “U” and with the background I had we spelt the word “color” with a U, and we used the same words but some of them has…
Sociological imagination overall is to think sociologically. It’s an approach for a person to look at their life as a result of their interaction with society. It is a way to explain and understand why certain problems, decisions, successes, and failures have occurred. Before learning about social imagination, any problem I encountered I took it personal and never thought about how it happens all over society.…
In the same verse a positive metaphor follows. It states, “do you know there's still a chance for you? / ‘cause there's a spark in you”. In the metaphor, “cause there's a spark in you” (AZLyrics), the rhetor is comparing the light and power that lies within our self and the bright spark that comes from lighting a firework. The brightness and power associated with fireworks is being transferred over to the audience’s personalities. The rhetor is also trying to carrying over the idea that the spark portrays the power that we have within us.…
In the violinist example, it’s basically saying that you have the power to save his life since you have the right blood and it's your choice if you want to let him live or die, but you are kidnapped and forced to do it. This example can relate to rape where you get pregnant due to it, but you still have the right to abort it because it happened without your consent. For the Henry Fonda example, i believe she is trying to say that nobody has the right to be given something that belongs to someone else. For example a mother should not feel forced into letting a baby inhabit her body while she’s pregnant because the body belongs to her. In the people seeds experiment, she is trying to say that if you somehow got pregnant even though you did not…
Many famous philosophers have offered that the perseverance of truth is essential to creating value in a human life. Often, there are many unanswered questions that can get in the way of people pursuing truth. For example, what defines a person, what is reality, and what is Reality? Object identification poses an issue when defining human value and capability. There are theories like, originated theory, viewer theory, multiple viewer theory, and object identification theory, and contextualism that help humans address this problem.…
