The Crucible Act 1 Dialectical Journal As you read Act 1, keep a “dialectical journal.” Dialectical is “the art or practice of arriving at the truth through logical arguments.” Therefore, you will use your insights and perceptions to “argue” with the characters, situations, and events in the play in order to come to some understanding or truth. As you “converse” with the text, you will develop a better understanding of what is going on, what motivates the characters, and underlying conflicts. Write down your thoughts, questions, insights, and ideas while you read.…
Secret Path - Journal 3 For the last song of the Secret Path, Here, Here and Here, indicates the number of victims and miseries in the dark past of residential schools.

There is famous research on the subject of dialectical tensions; Baxter and Montgomery (1996) in their book “Relating Dialogues and Dialectics” asserted there are three different dialectical tensions, and six different parts; the first is “Autonomy vs Connectedness”, or the need between independence and connection. The second dialectical tension is “Novelty vs Predictability (or spontaneity)”, or the need between wanting new, fresh things vs. the familiar. The third and final dialectical tension is “Openness vs Closedness”—this dialectical tension focuses on the need between wanting to share information vs. maintaining privacy in the relationship (Baxter & Montgomery, 1996). While these six can operate as opposites, they are not necessarily mutually exclusive; relationships can maintain some sort of openness with…
On September fifth of 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that DACA will end in six months in order to give Congress time to find a solution for the 800,000 young immigrants that are part of the program. Sessions, the president and White House officials gave many reasons explaining the program’s removal, but these reasons were either false or one-sided. An article on Politifact written by Louis Jacobson, John Kruzel, Manuela Tobias and Miriam Valverde, points out all the flaws in Jeff Sessions’ announcement about ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. For example, in his announcement, Jeff Sessions said DACA ‘denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those…
The next two techniques are devil’s advocacy and dialectical inquiry. Both are conflict induced and helpful to improve a case analysis that poses a particular controversy. The word ‘conflict’ can come off in a negative way but in this type of situation, it’s the complete opposite because it actually can help you to arrive to a better resolution when analyzing cases. More importantly, conflict can provide many new ideas that may question certain assumptions being made and not just striving for consensus. That leads to a concept called groupthink in which group members just merely strive for agreement without looking at other options.…

Hysteria As Demonstrated In The Crucible And 1950’s America In 1950’s America the war on communism had reached a high point and anti-communist feelings were overwhelmingly common. In response to the anti-communist hysteria occurring around him, Arthur Miller, a well known playwright, wrote The Crucible to demonstrate the hysteria surrounding the American citizens and their government. By analyzing the usage of the causes of hysteria and individual rationalization of actions that are commonplace in The Crucible, a reader can see how hysteria starts in a society and what prevents and keeps hysteria from occurring.…
Consequences of Counterfactual Thinking 30071077 PSYC 4007, Fall 2016 University of Louisiana at Monroe November 8, 2016 Consequences of Counterfactual Thinking 30071077 Sachin Shrestha PSYC 4007, Fall 2016 University of Louisiana at Monroe November 8, 2016 Abstract Counterfactual thinking is the human tendency to create possible alternatives to life events that have already occurred; something that is contrary to what actually happened. These type of thinking about the past can result in both positive and negative consequences to the individual. The author of this paper is trying to find support for three main arguments that (a) counterfactual thinking is activated mainly by negative affect, (b) content of the counterfactual…
Satire is used in literature to criticize and point out society’s flaws. The criticism is usually masked in humour. Irony is commonly used in satires to expose flaws, an effective example is John Smith’s A Modest Proposal, in this essay he effectively uses irony, to communicate his argument about the poverty in Ireland. Similarly, in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale she criticizes the society that women live in. Atwood uses satire to display the oppression of women in political, religious and social aspects through the use of allusions to the Cultural Revolution, Salem Witch Trials, the Taliban and the Old Testament.…

"It 's a Beautiful Thing": Art, Culture, History and Humanity in George Orwell 's 1984 In 1984 George Orwell pulls readers into his horrific and at the same time awe- inspiring totalitarian society, dictated by a dystopian political system that builds a world on omnipresent surveillance, public manipulation, oppression, hatred, propaganda and "their sole motive, [which is] the quest for power" (Paul 215) . Due to the unconditional control the party has over Oceania, there is evidently a paucity of beauty, culture and history. Art plays a crucial part of humanity, history and our depiction of the truth.…
One can only access the viewpoint of another from within one’s own horizon. This relationship between ‘one’ and ‘the other’ which, in Gadamer’s philosophy makes understanding possible, is what has been examined by other philosophers as well. Emmanuel Levinas considered this relationship known by him as ‘the face-to-face’ relationship, as “the heart of life [that] is found not in knowing yourself but in your relation to the Other.” (Theory for Performance Studies, Philip Auslander, p. 129)…
