1. State the canonical of the film. Lester Bumham is 41-years old and lives in American suburbia with his wife Carolyn and his daughter Jane. Lester has a job writing for a media magazine and owns a big house, but he feels his life is empty and meaninglessness. His wife, Carolyn, is trying to be successful as a real estate agent.

In Sutra 2.20 it is written ‘The Seer is but the force of seeing itself, appearing to see or experience that which is presented as a cognitive principle.’ I understand this as if Purusha or the unchangeable soul has the ability to see through one’s mind. Therefore even the soul and the mind are separated entities, since the former perceives world through the latter, but is not one with it, showing the idea of radical dualism represented in Patanjali’s Sutras. For the ultimate liberation the…

what is the origin of the concept of a canon?, and its characteristic features, and how we know if the text has authority and were defined as a canonical piece of writing through it is content and form, so in this essay I am going to discuss these meaning. Therefore, by referring to a literary works who gained the authority and the concept of being a canonical piece, so I have chosen the play which has authority and gained the literary canon on it, the play is King Lear written by William…

Bourdieu (1977) who “has argued that just as humans can deploy material capital to enhance their situations economically, so too may they deploy non-material symbolic capital to that same end. Symbolic capital is cultural capital. …. Bourdieu’s canonical example of symbolic capital is language.” These three language anthropologists agree to one fact which is the influence of economic and hence powerful value of some nations over others, and consequently the domination of these nations’ languages…

2. In “Remaing Yamato, Remaking Japan: Space Battleship Yamato and SF Anime” by Baryon Tensor Posadas, I am going to focus on the fetishization of anime and Techno-Orientalism characterized in the article. The transition from non-national to national qualities of anime in the age of globalization generated significant tension. Initially, when Japanese anime was imported into foreign markets from 1970s to 1980s, the ethnic quality was perceived as “too Japanese” to the subject – the Western or…

The most popular and characteristic image of the white settler in native America was that of a cowboy; a typical frontier epitomising white bravery and potency. He was also the symbol of white American exceptionalism, he who could tame the wilderness and the wild native to their advantage. This image institutionalised the white man as a raider and hunter. Frontier thesis and its associated ideas of machismo and courage, best exemplified in cowboys conveys the idea the founding of America was…

asserting that he preaches the pure knowledge that he has acquired” (Andersen, 87). Personally, I believe that the Elihu speeches are original, not because of the evidence presented in this article, but because before any text could have been deemed canonical Scripture, it was seen as an authoritative text. Which means, several authority figures saw a need to include it in the…

For centuries, mankind has had a propensity to utilise the biological distinctions of the sexes in order to enforce a societal distinction between the sexes, which is known as gender. Gender, as the socially imposed division of the sexes, allowed societies to delineate certain characteristics to each of the sexes, and thus assign different roles, moral codes, and, in certain societies, thoughts and emotions to them. As such, the study of gender is of profound importance to the manner in which…
