DD Form 214

The adult a child becomes is determined largely by the kind of relationship he has with his parents. If a parent pushes responsibilities on to a child, the child will avoid them. However, if a child is given no responsibilities, he will not grow up. In the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, Willy Loman tries to teach his children the things he isn’t able to do himself: be good at sports, take advantage of being good looking, get far in life, get rich quick, and enjoy the American Dream.…

Mill writes “Considerations on Representative Government” as a view of what his Parliament could become. He advocated for a representative form of government, with universal suffrage, a unique view for his time. I believe Mill wants universal suffrage and a representative government because of the processes it uses, mainly that representation necessarily engages all members of society in the government, which keeps them mentally sharp, however representation only works if the citizens vote at…

Living in a frivolous society and guided by the media is not the most encouraging. Especially because thanks to this barrage of images that tells us what is beauty, status, and power that the media has been sent to us, human beings have a marked tendency to self-punishment to the temptations that keep us from having the Beauty coveted trophy. This transcends feminine vanity, as we currently see the proliferation of men in places where only females were seen in antiquity. Such is the case of spa,…

power shifted from the nobility and the church to the middle class. The classical music period contained contrasting moods with rhythmic variety. The classical period was homophonic in texture. The three main forms in the classical period are sonata form, theme and variations, and rondo. Sonata form is single movements that consist of three parts; the exposition, the development, the recapitulation, and the ending concluding section called the coda. In the exposition the themes are present,…

Language has always been something in the back of my mind. You never think to in depth about language, but you do think about what to say and when all the time. Language is so important because you use it everyday. I always thought that my language was average, but if im around people who have a broader vocabulary, it makes me feel like my language is horrible. When i start thinking about a memorable time that involved language, right away I think about my eigth grade English class, it was by…

The Tlatelolco Massacre In the summer of 1968, Mexico was thrust into the center of the world stage pending the upcoming Olympics. The highly anticipated event generated a variety of emotions amongst the Mexican people, and not all emotions were good. The people were angry; millions of government dollars were being funneled ruthlessly into this event while a large majority of the population lived well below the poverty line and struggled to survive day-to-day. The anger and the desire for…

composition is typical of Brahms’ works in that it is a mixture of classical form and more modern ideas. The first movement, Allegro non troppo, is in sonata-allegro form and in triple simple meter, this movement is filled with contradictions in mood and contrasting sections. The numerous contrasts between the different sections make the transitional material especially important in this movement. In sonata-allegro form, the transition is a bridge between the Primary area and the Secondary area.…

The poem “Death, Be Not Proud”, by John Donne, is a Petrarchan sonnet, which is divided to an octave (the first eight lines) and a sestet (the last six lines). In the octave we are exposed to the speaker who seems to be a simple man who does not like Death (maybe from a personal experience, but we cannot know for sure), and probably religious. We can assume he is religious by the belief of “soul’s delivery” (8) and eternal life after death, as stated in line 13. The speaker addresses Death, and…

He says Monarchy first changes into its vicious allied form, tyranny; and next, the abolishment of both gives birth to aristocracy. Aristocracy by its very nature degenerates into an oligarchy. Therefore, democracy comes into being when the commons inflamed by anger take vengeance on this government for its unjust rule. In due course, the license and lawlessness of this form of government produce mob-rule to complete the series. (Polybius 148) Polybius would claim…

influenced by many other famous philosophers but Socrates has the biggest impact on his life. Plato is known for many works such as Republic where his work blended political philosophy, ethics, and metaphysics. Plato is also widely known for his theory of Form where he explains that the world that we live in is just the imitation of what the real world holds. The real world is all about being pure, eternal which is unchanging. There are many problems to Plato’s theory. First there is the…
