and culturally inflected ideas are two broad statements that pose an innumerous amount of uncertainty when deciphering what each categorizes. As suggested by Ethan Watters in “The Mega-Marketing of Depression of Japan,” culture differences means conceptual differences.

portrayed the soldier as an image of man in society. In particular, American novelists and poets, over the last sixty years or so, have come to understand their own country, its social character, institutions and relations with the world, through metaphors of battle.

Both Gloucester and Lear have illegitimate children. This is a metaphor for being blind of their respective good children (these children are Edgar and Cordelia) and also their bad children (Edmund, Goneril and Regan). The ‘bad’ children commit a sacrilegious act by attempting to dethrone their fathers, who were…

Many studies that have been conducted show that different colors have the ability to pass meanings to an individual and also potential to influence individual’s perception through the color priming effect. This usually occurs when exposure to a single color stimulus affect the way individuals respond to other stimuli. This is to say that exposure to a particular color can influence the way we react emotionally either positively or negatively. Numerous attempts have been done for years to…
