be found in the first stanza of Dickinson’s poem. In fact, Dickinson never refers to “poetry” by its own name; she refers to the art form as “Possibility” instead (1). The abstract noun “Possibility,” curiously enough, is just that: abstract. It defies definition which, in turn, lends Dickinson’s narrator’s definition of poetry a sense of preeminence. “Possibility” is, after all, as Dickinson’s narrator affirms, a much finer and much “fairer House than Prose” (2). This sentiment is itself…

The Ricardian model is a classical theory that says comparative advantage which comes as a result of differences in technologies across countries is what determines the pattern of trade. Hecksher-Ohlin’s model on the other hand says, trade comes as a result of differences in resource endowment in each country. The objective of this essay is therefore to compare and contrast the classical (Ricardian model) and Heckscher-Ohlin (HO) model of the commodity composition of trade and discuss the…

bullying to be even more prevalent in society is due to discrimination based on religion. Bullying includes the physical, emotional, and mental aspect which allows one to form an opinion about a certain race or religion. September 11, 2001, is a prime example of the prejudicial distress that allowed Americans to make derogatory assumptions about Muslims based on the small percentage of radical Muslims who were responsible for the bombing of the Twin Towers. After September 11, the question of…

However, outside of that, religion remains untouched as a “forbidden” subject. It comes with scary consequences if taught incorrectly, including losing one’s job. Despite this fear of teaching about religion in public schools, district supervisors and…

In this paper, I am going to discuss Charles Darwin’s greatest contributions to psychology, including his theory of the evolution of instinct and the part that intelligence plays, the evolution of the mind, from the lowest animal to the highest man, and the expressions of emotion. At the end of this biographical sketch I have concluded that although Darwin’s contributions to psychology are not always acknowledged, most psychologists would agree with many of his findings. If I wanted to further…

misconception that free trade is fair, but free trade and fair trade are completely different subjects. The goal of free trade agreements like NAFTA is to promote economic growth by removing trade barriers, whereas the goal of fair trade agreements is to prevent the marginalization of weaker producers like farmers and small businesses. Thus, situations like the unsubsidized farmers in Mexico being unable to compete with the subsidized farmers in the United States can emerge as a result of…
