Language and Meaning in “The Yellow Wall-Paper” Charlotte Perkins Gilman expertly molds language to emphasize her meaning in her short story “The Yellow Wall-Paper.” Gilman uses it to emphasize the societal critique of the limitations of women contained in her writing. Gilman illustrates the dangers of forcibly removing a women’s own autonomy over her mind and her body, and delicately composes language to showcase these consequences. Gilman crafts characters that embody the typical archetype of…

Tomasello 's Account of Cultural Learning Tomasello founds accumulative cultural evolution account based on cultural learning. He identifies three forms of cultural learning in hierarchical order, based on the perspective that the learner would take through this process, being reflective, mental or intentional agent. He emphasizes on the reciprocal relation between human cognition and culture as a result of active participation of agent with its capability of perspective taking towards itself,…

In Hinduism, the concepts of dharma and karma are essential components of the religion, and they are invariably interlinked, both with each other, and the structure of the Hindu community, known as the Caste System. The term dharma is problematic in translation, with a range of suggestions such as ‘law,’ ‘duty,’ and ‘religion’ (Flood, G. 2004, p.52). The term, in short, refers to ritual and moral behaviours which are necessary to uphold to maintain cosmic order, or rta. (Flood, G. 2004, p.53;…

authors implemented plenty of secondary sources, when discussing the background on how the 1980 Cubans, and Haitians were treated when they arrived in the United States, as well as the struggles that they faced in assimilating, and finding work (pg495, & 496). Another critique that I have about the article is that it is suppose to be focused on both Cubans, and Haitians of 1980, but it seems to be that the article focuses more on the Cubans immigrants of the 1980 then the Haitians. The…

Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville and The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka are seemingly unrelated literary pieces upon first consideration. Delving deeper into the nature of the two protagonists, common themes become more apparent. These short stories convey themes of personal sacrifice, living a walled-in existence, and subscribing to the endless cycle of work with no personal gain. Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis works as a travelling salesman because his family owes a debt to the…

Kant differentiates between two types of judgements, those being Empiricism and Rationalism. Rationalism or analytic judgement depends wholly on the Law of Contradiction and a priori knowledge. “It expresses nothing in the predicate but what has been already actually thought in the concept of the subject, though not so distinctly or with the same (full) consciousness.” (Fieser & Lillegard, 2005, p. 351) Empiricism or synthetic judgement which “require a different Principle from the Law of…

The Jewish people have been marked by violence and persecution unlike any other group of humans in mankind long and often troublesome history.
