Cult of Reason

most rational, intelligent, and understanding character. Although he is the one to see the correct way for the boys to organize themselves and has the most useful ideas in the group, he is also the most frequently abused and is rarely addressed. The reason for this is that apart from being described with what society pictures to be flaws such a his corpulent structure, underdeveloped vision, and his outspoken annoying personality, Piggy is disliked for being the most mature and adult-like figure…

Human and their psyche have an undeniable need to organize, rationalize, and order the seemingly random and illogical quirks of life. Consequently, this habit and instinct often drives humans to try to analyze themselves in such a way, with rationality. However, this logical method is dysfunctional as humanity and its abstractions such as love, hate, and indifference cannot be sufficiently explained as these abstractions often clash with each other to form the essence of humanity and its…

Is Idealism Good or Bad? Idealism. Envisioning situations the way you want or think it should be, when, in fact, it is unrealistic. Is it bad for a person to have idealistic views? Is having idealistic thoughts wrong? An example of an idealistic belief is bringing about world peace. Having positive thoughts and goals are good to have, but trying to achieve something of this magnitude seems unattainable. But does this mean we shouldn’t try to fix it? In the play, Julius Caesar, Shakespeare…

The picture above to me really represents two forms of argument, one known as logos (logic), and the other known as pathos (emotions or people). I believe what Apple is trying to do here is one of many things. First, it uses not necessarily sophisticated language, but that of which an educated person would primarily use over that, of say, a very uneducated person when it says “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, therefore in my eyes appealing to, but not limited to the American economic…

The nature of humanity is born to be evil. Mencius believes that nature is good, but Thomas Hobbes and Hsun Tzu helped me come to the conclusion of why we are so evil. It is human nature to do as we please even if it is not the best thing to do. Although, we are taught to love others we overpower it by our evilness. The nature of humans are evil because we are sinful, everyone wants to be better than someone else, and we are influenced by our environment around us. We were born to commit…

In chapter 7, Arnold looks at how a true picture of history can be obtained. It is sometimes difficult to get a true history when we have multiple opinions and perspectives. For example, in the book Arnold discusses Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech recited before the Ohio Woman's Rights Convention and how there are two different accounts of what Sojourner Truth said. The first account was written by Marius Robinson, who was a white man who made Sojourners truth sound true. He wrote his account…

Define love ? Love is the emotion backbone to every true friend or family member you have; it that warm feeling of passion towards something or someone. When it comes to true love between lovers, it is unconditional and breath taking. Love is making what is important to us a main priority. Love is Platonic. Love is a challenging word to define because it holds many definitions. There is a love that can be shared among family, friends,or a mentor not saying that we are attracted to one…

as we grow and learn, we begin to develop a nature which can either sway toward the good or evil side of the spectrum. As humans we are able to recognise almost instantly whether or not a fellow human has committed a “good” or “evil” action for the reason that our brains are wired with various chemicals to recognise the virtues and assets…

In Once Upon a Time on Anatolia, a film directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, we see many motifs that indicate true human nature. Viewers are moved by the realness of the characters and how they can relate to us. From men being distracted by women, to showing the basic human instinct of self-preservation, this film shows us that no matter where you come from, everyone is similar. This movie expresses many aspects of human emotion and human nature, some more outright than others. One of the…
