Aristocracy

Friedrich Nietze’s systematic work titled On the Genealogy of morals comprises three essays that explicitly question, as well as critique, the value of people’s moral judgments on the basis of a genealogical approach whereby he investigates the origins and the significance of people’s diverse moral concepts. Nietzsche sees morality as something that embodies a system of faults that humans have integrated into their basic ways of feeling, thinking, and living; thus a strong symbol of how people…

A Tale of Two Cities is a book by Charles Dickens. It was written in 1859. Dickens chose to publish the book in separate parts. Those separate parts were all weekly published in his own journal called All The Year Round. It became extremely popular. People read his work and loved it. Every week, they anxiously awaited the next part of his book. Interestingly and very much unlike other famous writers today, he was already a prominent writer. People already adored his work. Therefore, it is no…

Hook: In more ways than one, the ways of ancient cities and countries are specific to one place, but they also connect and intertwine together. Preview: The culture and developments in Japan’s Golden Age also overlap with that of China in early times. The two civilizations both had similar types of government, literature, language, and religion, though they still had aspects of their worlds that were uniquely their own. These countries are geographically close to one another, but when going…

This week our focus was on the Etruscans’ Orientalizing, Archaic, and Classical works of art. I will discuss the fibula with Orientalizing lions, Apollo of Veii, and Chimera de Arezzo. I will also talk about the videos, “A Place Called Etruria”, “Luxury Excess”, and “Enigma of the Etruscans”. The fibula with Orientalizing lions is from the Regolini-Galassi Tomb in Italy, circa 650-640 BCE. This artwork is made of gold, is eighteen inches high, and is now in the Vatican Museum in Rome. This…

An issue or predicament in today’s society as well as in the state of Texas is that of the questioning of regulation on gun control. With recent tragedies such as the Umpqua Community College Shooting in Oregon, and the Charleston Church Massacre, much controversy and debate has opened amongst fellow Americans on whether or not there should be certain restrictions on gun control. While Texas’s gun control laws are amongst the least restrictive throughout all of the U.S., many citizens in Texas…

their lives. The appalling and aprotic fact is that today it is still accruing in the same format of institutionalized rejection (Lorde, 2000, p. 230-231). Likewise the biological essentialism can be seen manifesting itself in the new generation of aristocracy and aristocrat ( Bem, 1993, p. 10). Many young women today are opting out of having…

Rococo art and Neoclassical art both reflect the attitudes and overall culture of the times in which they were painted in. Rococo art marked the uneventful and lighthearted period in French history. It was a time when French leaders embraced superficial values and pursued only pleasurable experiences, thus these shallow cultural philosophies are showcased within Rococo art. Neoclassical art came out during a time of warfare and religious revolution, thus Neoclassical art emphasizes courage,…

Ancient Athenian democracy was extremely unstable, with a constant, often violent, class war between the oligarchs (many of whom Plato was related to) and the democrats. Democracy arises from aristocracy, or the rule of the wise few when this ruling class is corrupted by people being born into it who are not virtuous or just and are no longer putting the common good first. These people then begin to desire private property and status, which leads…

suggest certain themes throughout the story. The majority of the settings in the story have characters who identify closely with them. In the case of East Egg, Tom and Daisy Buchanan, as well as Jordan Baker, are the living embodiments of the aristocracy which it represents. West Egg is an area of wealth as well, but it is considered to be "the less fashionable of the two," (Fitzgerald 4).…
