another, the artifact itself is changed. The myriad of nuanced and connotative meanings that can be employed by a speaker of any language are often impossible to translate literally into another language. Any translator is forced into recognizing this dichotomy. They must separate what the author is saying apart from the ideas his words stand to represent. In rewriting a story in another language, the translator, in order to preserve the integrity of the work, must alter the words of the author…

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment. "Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings,…

this one, “Attacks on one’s form of expression with the intent to censor are a violation of the First Amendment” (2947). By devising the very title of the article from the perspective of the colonizer, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” she shows a rigid dichotomy between the colonizer and the colonized which is represented by the hegemonic English speakers and the Spanish speakers respectively. The perspective here is very powerful because it allows the readers to examine the colonizer’s attitude to…

11) In “The Dog and the Scent-Bottle” (12), Baudelaire utilizes symbolism to communicate his discontentment with the general population, more particularly with its incapacity to treasure and respect the finer things in life in the result of the ever-changing cycle of the Modern Age. In the prose poem, the narrator gives a dog a whiff of “an excellent perfume purchased from the best perfumer in the city,” which speak on behalf of the lavishness and high culture that Paris offers to the public.…

Looking for the Truth Human beings are inquisitive and toil away to find the answers to questions that they hold dear to them. These questions include reasons for why humans exist or for why there is so much suffering in the world. As humans seek further into divulging the causes, they are simultaneously continuing their search for finding God through theology. There is a bond between theology and humans seeking meaning in their existence; when humans search for a deeper understanding, they…

York City, and identifies with it and its people, but he also identifies with the rest of New York City even if he is not acknowledged by the rest of New York City, which can be assumed as being the "White" part of New York City. This shows the dichotomy of Hughes's personality, feeling at home in these two very different worlds yet only being accepted by one. In the same stanza, he compares himself to the rest of New York City. He shows that he isn't much different from them as he has the same…

In the time period that John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi was written, women had absolutely no sexual agency. Divided into categories of Madonna or Whore, women had impossible expectations to live up to. While marriage is the one institution in which it is socially acceptable for a woman to be sexual, the play subverts this. That Webster has the Duchess’ brothers the Cardinal and Antonio’s critique her for remarrying makes the categories of Madonna and Whore indistinct, thus demonstrating…

The notion of care itself often leads to a hierarchy, with the person caring on top and the cared for on the bottom. This dichotomy perpetrates the idea that a level of dependence and reliance exists for the person being cared for. If the ideals of interdependence are combined with the concepts of care there is hope that the relationship between the individual being…

Zeno put much thought into motion, and came up with four different reasons as to why motion does not exist. There is the “Dichotomy” paradox, the “Achilles” paradox, the “Arrow” paradox, and the “Stadium” paradox. In all of these paradox’s Zeno made something that is obviously true, motion, and made an argument to prove motion to be false. The “Arrow” paradox will be the paradox explained throughout this paper. This paper will also pull a lesson away from this paradox, and determine if this…
