Sartre and de Beauvoir would both claim that existentialism is not solipsistic.

Let us say an individual was walking down the street, and suddenly they heard an old nostalgic song that made them want to dance. So they starts dancing without abandon and are happy.…
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness just didn’t appear to apply to the practice of slavery. How could a group of people possibly feel so fixated on these unalienable rights, but still continue the brutal practice of human bondage? It is clearly apparent that both Toussaint L’Ouverture and Prince Hall felt the same way by taking in action to abolish slavery, and though William Wordsworth didn’t experience the same problems as these two heroes did, he had no problem expressing his sympathy towards their struggles. Toussaint L'Ouverture was the leader of the Haitian Revolution. He was a leader whose political strategies and fighting abilities earned him well-expressed nicknames such as The Black Napoleon, The Black Spartacus, and The Black George Washington.…

The relationship that Nanabush formed with Marie-Adele and Christophe formed with Snow Falls was intended to further the spread of their spirituality, but in doing so, their actions became misunderstood by others. For Nanabush, the only two women on the reserve that are able to see him – Marie-Adele and Zhaboonigan – do not know who he truly is.

In addition, Marie-Adele even questions his intentions when she asks, “who are you?…
Introduction Lorraine Bayard de Volo’s article, “Unmanned? Gender Recalibrations and the Rise of Drone Warfare” (2016), presents an interesting critique of drone warfare through a gendered lens. As such, this review of Bayard de Volo’s article will argue that although the article properly identifies the background and addresses the importance of the rising significance of drone warfare and its effect on the dynamic of gender and politics, she fails to explicitly address her assumption of drone warfare based solely on the use of examining American drone warfare. This review will first begin by summarizing Bayard de Volo’s argument before contextualizing her article within the course content. Then, this review will highlight the strengths before…

L’Ouverture was fully prepared to guilt trip and even take up arms against France to ensure the complete abolition of slavery in his…

Marie and Mather's debates over cultural authenticity suggests that dominant cultures may appropriate because they think that by appropriating the culture, they are understanding better, and thus helping the oppressed culture when personal gain is too often a more primary motive. They validate cultural appropriation in pursuit of beauty and meaning found in the appropriated culture. In class, Mather is frustrated with the activism of Marie because he believes that it attacks his uplifting portrayal of Native Americans as he responds, "There you go again, creating an antagonistic situation. Don't you understand what I'm trying to teach? I'm trying to present a positive portrait of Indian peoples, of your people.…
