Critique of Pure Reason

or false on some proclamations but we should be prepared for any counterargument. Logical fallacies can make your claims weak and untrustworthy which is one of the reason to avoid using them. Having strong arguments with evidence and limited bold statements will help your readers stay onboard with you. The articles I chose to critique on have logical fallacies that make them have holes in their claims. They consist of “Why We Crave Horror Movies” by Stephen King, “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern…

Machiavelli’s notion of brutality, violence, cruelty and irrationalism as they pertain to the prince is in consonance with the idea of Nietzsche’s master morality. The urge for power takes precedence in both views. That is the reason they advocate for a morality where power can be fully expressed. In order to still be in office or power, the ruler in Machiavelli’s The Prince should use any means ‘as the end justifies the means’ to shield the most ignored morality and all its traditional…

Ever since 1787, 11 years after America officially became a country and separated from England, America has decided who to elect for president of the United States by the electoral college. Over this past election, more and more Americans showed a discomfort in the system more than ever before. Too a point to where for a day, it was one of the trending topics on Twitter about how voters we’re almost mad at the system. America was almost confused and shocked about how the system can change an…

Critique Park Vista High School put on a well plan One-Act Production. These one-acts were student written and directed. They were put on in the auditorium of the school and hosted by Kevin VanMeter. Each play showed different plots, and emotions. Not only did the students direct these one-acts with skill. The actors were entirely different from one another and took the lines into different interpretation than the generic form. As for the technical aspect they used the lighting, and prop with…

abomination (Buzacott 14). The presence of black mammy further defines the paradoxical nature of the Belle. The black mammy’s roles as the object of white men’s sexual desire and the caretaker of the white children (Sykes 10) allow the Belle to remain pure and chaste as a symbol of unchanging, virtuous South (Buzacott 15). Faulkner was aware of this absurd contradiction. The bizarre contradiction is best embodied in the figure of Caroline Compson. Mrs. Compson is the archetypal Southern Belle…

The representation of black men and orientalism in the media This essay is going to be analysing the various media steriotypes produced in discourse by the West about black men and the orient and how this has a damaging effect on the two ethnic groups in society. The representation of black men in the media is constructed around a white dominiate supermacist view of them, this view has been orchastrated and maintained historically from slavery. For example the male gaze which is accepted and…

because they do not rely on the consequences of tough ethical questions so there is no need to wait and see to determine if an action was right or wrong. Where Kant’s theories become less favorable is in situations wherein lies are told for altruistic reasons. This is where Rorschach and Ozymandias disagree. Rorschach only believes in killing when it comes to guilty persons, which is why he is so adamant that Ozymandias’s plan be foiled. If Ozymandias had planned it to where only criminals would…

The reason for this is possibly because his family’s history stretches back to the early days of the Salem Witch Trials where he became well acquainted with Puritan society. Being a master of symbolism, Hawthorne successfully conveys his message of acknowledgement…

cannot deal with not divulging his sin to the public and the lack of being able to do so ultimately caused his death. “But he hid it cunningly from men, and walked among you with the mien of a spirit, mournful because so pure in a sinful world” (Hawthorne 281). This is the reason why Dimmesdale’s life came to a dolorous end. His soul was being destroyed by the people that thought that he was Holy. He said this during his final moments on the scaffold. Ironically, this is the place where Hester…

4.1 The Replacement Theory and the Anti-Semitism All of the interpreters, whom I examine in this article (with the exception of the last), regarded the first invited guests as the Jewish nation and the second invited guests as Gentiles. They all believed that the destruction of the city of the first guests represents the devastation of Jerusalem, which is God’s judgment on Jews. Chrysostom asserted that God foreknows the Jews’ refusals of Christ. He first sent his prophets and Christ to them in…
