Fight Club (1999) doesn’t need much of an introduction, and the first two rules state that I can’t talk about. I guess I’ll have to make an exception just this once; I just hope Tyler will be able to forgive me. The movie itself performed moderately well in its opening weekend but was ultimately a box office failure, as it only brought in about $37 million in revenue. The main character who is played by Edward Norton, a nameless narrator, is unhappy and discouraged with his mediocre life. In…

Based on, Immanuel Kant’s definition of enlightenment, we are not at all living in an enlightened age. As Kant explained to his students, in order to achieve enlightenment, one must, “have courage to use your own reason” . This means that people should not be afraid to question anything, and become more independent from others. Also, as it was explained, “laziness and cowardice” are the biggest reasons for the dependence that humans rely on. First, our current reliance on technology makes us an…

After taking the personality assessment, I found out that I fall into the ISTP group, which I think fits my definition of my personality. ISTP stands for introversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. ISTPs are interested in many things that go on around them. They pay close attention to the details trying to make sense of it all because we are very logical. From a heuristic view, ISTPs also like to understand and know how things work because we take great pleasure in fixing things. We…

Everyone has their own wall, they have built and it is not until someone special comes along and removes the wall will you see the real person inside. In the poem “Please Hear What I’m Not Saying” by Charles C. Finn the speaker states “You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble” (78). When the speaker says “you” he is indicating that there is a specific person who can “break down” his wall. Someone who loves and care about him. When the poem talks about breaking down a wall it is…

2. Hume states that habit is the great guide to human life because custom allows us to use experience to navigate our world. He makes this assertion because it follows a criticism of our understanding of cause and effect as previous philosophers speculated. Hume makes the point that we do not actually understand cause and effect, only the relation of repetition shared between two things. We don't actually see the change that happens between one event to the next, and understanding the…

The idea grew up with them; originating from childhood games and studies of other cultures, this soon matured into an art, movement, or sport. The group practiced this in rural areas. As it…

Self-Assessment Assignment 1.A. Personality Test: Guardians I have already done this kind of test more than twice before, and I always got the same result, which is ISTJ. This website didn’t tell which personality type I have, but they told me I am a Guardian (SJ’s), and ISTJ is one of the four types of Guardians. The part that I totally agree with is that I am following the rules and cooperating with others, not very comfortable blazing new trails, cautious about change, honor customs and…
