Brandy

It has been a daunting task trying to undertake this reading. Finding a way to advance the conversation forward and trying to provide even more knowledge about this reading was even more challenging. My group member’s Brandy and James both made such valid and prominent points about our assigned reading that it has been nevertheless difficult. In William James’ “The Will to Believe” James takes on the challenge of responding to Clifford’s “Ethics of Belief” in which he provides insight into his…

Even back then doping was known to be unethical and identified cheaters were sold into slavery, athletes are now being drug tested to make sure there are no…

Existentialism, a noun made up of five syllables is one of the most daunting words in the English language. The idea that we “humans” have no meaning in life until we find a way to make our lives mean something, for some of us that time never comes. Ernest Hemingway wrote many short stories that have the underlying message of existentialism and that includes his story “A Clean Well-Lighted Place” which follows the late night events within a cafe. Through this everlasting night we see three…

What does it mean to be human? Being human and what it takes to be human is often taken for granted. This question is not something we question daily, monthly, or yearly. We often just accept that we are human and leave it at that. In both Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, at least one character in each work face an extreme transformation that challenges or questions, the qualities and attributes of humanity. It is only after the transformation in both cases that the…
