Acolytes

intellectualism was lost on them. People who were adequately supplied with food and shelter were Ministry clerks, like Parsons, who represented everyone who worked under the higher-ups of the Party. But Parsons, who is the epitome of a non-thinking acolyte of Big Brother, is nothing like Winston. Parsons could not even admit to himself that he despised Big Brother (he said “down with Big Brother” in his sleep; page 232). Another Ministry worker is Julia, who actively rebels against Big Brother.…

An early modern dancer, a revolutionary lighting technician, and an ardent queer feminist, Loie Fuller presented the female body in new and freeing ways. Her work de-gendered and hid the female body and, by doing so empowered it. Through her work, Fuller established the female body as a source of power; yet it is consistently degendered and/or oversexualized in dance scholarship because of its physical invisibility and imagery on the stage. I want to discuss the ways in which both of these…

followers numbered around 100 included a small hard role unit of impressionable young girls. They began to believe Manson’s claim that he was Jesus and his prophecies of a race war. Manson preached his own blend of eccentric religious teachings to his acolytes, who called them his “family”. He told them a race war between blacks and white was imminent and would result in great power for the family. They should instigate the war by killing rich white people and trying to make it look like the…

“This tirangle of power is now a structural fact, and it is the key to any understanding of the higher circles in America today.”(pg192). Though there is still an ongoing debate among academics as to how they should classify Mills in terms of his theoretical perspectives given the broad range of subjects he wrote about and the various classical sociological theories he used to explore these subjects. None the less Somewhat of a consensus has be reached with regards to Mills conception of the…

There are many social influences that play’s an essential role for people’s perception of what they body should look like. Social influences of body image mostly affect young adolescents to young adults. Participants in this study will be college students, both male and female. The age range will vary between the ages 18-24. College students will be recruited but only if they are willing to participate in the study. Participants will be given one survey to determine if they ever have been…

cut his head off so that he may no longer see the damages he has caused and to forgive for his sins he was cursed to go every evening to the chapel. When the priest enters, all lights lit up in the altar, and there only an empty temple without an acolyte (an assistant to the church) to answer his words nor faithful to listen to him, celebrated the holy sacrifice. The supernatural event said it ended the night which a young man accidentally fell asleep at the end of a mass gathering , and staying…

This literary study will define the importance of spiritual enlightenment and the teacher/student relationship in the philosophy of Zhuangzi and the Buddhist spiritualism/evanescence of The Tale of the Genji by Murasaki Shikibu. In Zhuangzi’s Taoist philosophy, the meaning of existence was relative to the person perceiving the ever-changing point of view of the observer, as defined in the dialogue between Hui Tzu and Chuang Tzu. This form of enlightenment provided a way to understand the…

Herman Melville’s enduring masterpiece, Moby-Dick, is often regarded as a very progressive novel in its representation of ethnicity, and religion. Melville uses the mixed ethnicities/faiths of the harpooneers and likewise motley crewmen to illustrate an egalitarian social order among the ship’s crew. Even the lowly cabin boy, Pip, and the cook, Fleece emerge as far richer characters than the base caricatures of African-Americans that they may at first appear to be. This deceptive use of…

Humanity is defined as human beings or human beings collectively. It is also defined as humbleness or benevolence. How a person acts around others is dependant on their views of humanity. Looking at humanity as a whole, Geoffrey Chaucer asks “If gold rust, what then will iron do?/ For if a priest be foul in whom we trust/ No wonder that a common man should rust.” Chaucer is juxtaposing the status of a priest, which is considered as a holy man devoted to upholding the word of God, compared to…

The Army Ethic what is it? How does it relate to the Army values? A quote I found off the CAPE Website summed up everything in maybe two sentences. “The Army Ethic. Our professional ethic is expressed in law, Army Values, creeds, oaths, ethos, and shared beliefs embedded within Army culture. It inspires and motivates the conduct of Army Professionals.” I would like to think the Army Ethic mirrors the Army Values that you can’t have one and not have the other, both must be present in order for…
