688). But as stated, Pompey too has given himself to the white hegemony and plans to forsake his community for personal gains. Pompey thus actually teaches Lila Mae that “she hated her place in their world, where she fell in their order of things, and blamed Pompey” (Whitehead 239). To push technological progress forward, Lila Mae accepts the inability she shared with Pompey and, like Fulton, decides to not fight directly against white hegemony. She lets them think what they want to think while she works on the perfect elevator. Like Liggins states, “all of them are searching for a means of escape, of rising above their present individual and social circumstances” (Liggins 365). Nevertheless, Liggins believes that “the potential for this transformation…

African americans never really had a perfect opportunity to become successful as the American Dream. They always had to fight to obtain respect. The American Dream can be described as cold and life changing. It represents that you've either achieve nothing or achieved becoming something you always wanted. I believe that the american dream is possible for anyone that has a lot of determination because people stop because of obstacles. The “American Dream” has to do with people's materialistic…

Assignment Four – The Family Group by Charles Umlauf Charles Umlauf created The Family Group sculpture in 1960. The location of the sculpture is outside of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Its green color distinguishes the sculpture from the many other sculptures around the university and from the background of the business school. Much of the evidence in the paper will come from the structure and form of the sculpture. The sculpture depicts a woman leaning…

The novel Howards End by E.M. Forster showcases many examples of strong female characters. Margaret and Helen Schlegal live on their own and take care of themselves. Then there is the character of Ruth Wilcox. Mrs. Wilcox is an important matriarchal force in the novel. Not only does she lead her family, she also is a great influence on the Schlegal girls. When she passes, a conflict arises over who will take over who will replace her. The ending of the novel resolves this conflict by elevating…

Early poetic realism films such as Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game criticized the corruption, and, immorality of the French upper class; as if recalling these years, Claude Chabrol’s The Unfaithful Wife partakes in a similar criticism of the French bourgeoisie. At the start of the film, the audience is introduced to the seemingly perfect yet wealthy Desvallées family. The family is portrayed as being perfect as they embody the qualities of a conservative family including morality, good…

Wright Brothers Term Paper Throughout the history of aviation, there have been many different pioneers that have contributed in some way to our present day knowledge of aviation. The two people that I think contributed the most to aviation are the Wright brothers. They were able to be the first successful people to create a controlled flight of a power driven airplane. This completely changed the game in aviation. It taught others new and safer techniques on how to fly. During this time…

Eric Russell: High school english teacher, Advanced Placement Coordinator, yearbook advisor, husband, father of three, and my Helene Tucker. Dick Gregory once wrote, “Everyone’s got a Helene Tucker, a symbol of everything you want” (pg. 168). Symbol, by definition, means a mark or character used as a conventional representation of another. My high school english teacher, Mr. Eric Russell symbolizes me in many aspects of life, such as, accomplishing goals set in life, achieving infinite, intimate…

Also, I am interested in understanding the process theology in other faith contexts, other than Christianity. Whitehead’s Metaphysics: Alfred North Whitehead considered cosmology having connection with religion. (1, exposition) Therefore, in this regard, the use of metaphors is relative to one’s own experiences. This is to say that it points to “process” as a part of the process theology, and does not mean to suggest that things are undergoing some sort of change. (14, exposition) Things are…

The God of Scriptures is sovereign (1 Tim. 6:15), immutable (Mal. 3:6), infinite (Jer. 10:10), perfect (Mat. 5:48), and prophetic (Is. 14:24). However, the God of Whitehead’s Process Theology is a source of meaning and reason; it changes and is changed, it is everlasting but imperfect and does not know the future. Therefore, the God of the Bible cannot be identical to the God of Process Theology. These are a few core issues and not an exhaustive list. Nevertheless, Process Theology’s most…

There have been many philosophers throughout time who’ve had ideas and opinions about the purpose and proper structure of the education systems. Two major examples would be Alfred North Whitehead and Wilhelm von Humboldt. This paper will present a succinct version of both of their thoughts on the integration of research and education within the system of universities, as well as a juxtaposition of their positions. In “Universities and their Function,” Whitehead writes that “[t]he universities…
