Activism by method

The world of semantics is dominated by two types of naming theories: descriptivist and causal. Defenders of these two theories seem to discredit each other, thinking the world of semantics must choose one or the other. I, however, do not believe this has to be the case. In this essay I will argue that parts of descriptivist and causal theories of names can come together to create a better overall theory of names: a hybrid theory. I will do this by looking at the argument Gareth Evans makes in…

A tragic hero is a character within a literary work that possesses a tragic flaw that will ultimately incur the downfall of the character, regardless of the character’s good intentions. Macbeth, from Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, is, without a doubt, one of the most prevalent tragic heroes throughout all works of literature. Macbeth is a tragic hero as he possesses noble stature, a tragic flaw, free choice, an increased awareness of his downfall, and a punishment that exceeds his crimes, all…

Over the course of the dialog from the beginning to the end Socrates was trying to teach Euthyphro. So may ask why, it because Euthyphro was the laugh of the town in Athens. He proclaimed he knew something even though was was wrong. He never admitted he was wrong. This in turn made everyone not take Euthyphro seriously. When he in process of starting a lawsuit against his father we don’t know if he at the end when he storms off, if he already started the suit or was going to be didn’t. Plato…

My website results gave me that I was “The Logistician.” I am the ISTJ personality which stands for Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. My results said that I was 51 percent introvert, 51 percent sensing, 72 percent thinking, and 51 percent judging. I am on the line of being other personalities, seeing that three of my results were 51 percent. I think that it is true, though, I am introverted around other people that I don’t know but if I am around people I know, but I can keep up a…

A reading of Walter Benjamin’s ‘Critique of Violence’ raises some question. What is the purpose of violence? What does it mean for modernity in terms of coloniality or postcoloniality? Does mythical violence lead to divine violence? Are the two intersected? Who owns what property – including land among other things? And is Critique of Violence applicable in postcolonial study? These questions are what this paper is pursuing. The main argument in this paper is that violence is about power-making…

Depending on the social and historical context, vitalism has either been radically opposed to accepted Christian teachings, or a very quaint, and somewhat religious pseudo-scientific explanation for biological phenomena. In some sense, it seems as though the very concept of vitalism is analogous to the belief in…

The Response Rodger Crawford once said, “Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.” This quote is quite true in the non-fiction book Spare Parts by; Joshua Davis. Spare Parts is about four low class, undocumented teenagers within America, who beat the world’s best engineering university in a robotics competition. To deepen my thinking of the book, I attended an author presentation at NIACC. Spare Parts focused a great deal on immigration, education, confidence, and…

Wagoner and Bresco aim to help readers understand how memory is influential and impactful when it comes to conflict. They open by explaining that conflict and memory can be commonly found on “two sides of the same coin” (Brescó & Wagoner, 2016). I other words conflict and memory feed into one another. On one side of the coin conflict greatly impacts memory, both individual and collective. This plays a role in unsuccesful resolutions for the future. On the other side of the coin is memories.…
