Domestication

Another writer, Alice Rawsthorn, asks what the true definition of an artist is in this modern world, deciding that it can be anyone. Through her piece, “Can Anybody be a Designer?” Rawsthorn discusses “Unnamed,” an exhibition held in South Korea. This exhibition explores innovation in places that one would normally never look; the code involved in a computer virus can be just as majestic as a rainbow barcode where each color signifies one of the four nucleotides of DNA (adenine, thymine, guanine…

In the works, The Scarlet Letter, “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “Civil Disobedience”, the individual is subordinated by their society due to many restrictions present in their religion, government, and from unequal gender roles. This confinement causes the individual to take action in order to break free from these bonds through various forms of self-expression in their search for independence and to create their own identity. Though some may say that conformity of the individual was only trying to…

When Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 the world had no idea what the effects on the environment would be. The interaction between the Europeans and the New World Inhabitants of North and South America and Africa, as well as Asia is still relevant in the ecological impact that took place between their encounters during the Age of Exploration and onward. The exchange of ideas was the utopian ideal but the utter truth was that the natural environment and human stewardship of that…

Apart from humans, who are predominantly present in Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights; animal imagery is brilliantly used by Emily Bronte in this magnum opus with deep symbolic and metaphorical meanings attached to it, and having psychological underpinning. In this study, Psychoanalysis of novel, Wuthering Heights is undertaken, which has further explained Primitivism in Healthcliff’s personality, and the regression of dog into wolf, hence going from partial…

estranged and subject of manipulation which illustrated Hughes’ work and provided a new dimension with respect to environment. Our analysis reveals that animal life is both depicted as an “other” and an object of admiration. When they are brought into domestication, the poet invokes mercy for them because human beings have presumed that “other” at margin are a logon and entirely immune from the rest of creation. Now time has approached for us to say that human is not ontologically isolated…

Prehistory. Literally meaning before history, the time before written records; but yet prehistory has just as many stories to tell that cannot be found in any high school textbook. These stories can be very important stories that can change how we believe humans created civilization. Standard theory suggests that humanity's progress toward civilization started in prehistory with farming. Once prehistoric humans discovered farming, they were able to settle down and get their food from farming.…

If men are equal, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau claims in the preface to his discourse on inequality (40), why do some men live in large lavish houses, while others struggle on the street, unsure of their next meal? The distance between the rich and the poor has been increasing steadily over the last decade, but in reality it has been expanding ever since man separated from Rousseau’s original state of nature. The state of nature is different than that which is natural, and within Rousseau’s state of…

Catherine Tran Writ 340 Professor Murray Aborted Girls, Wanted Brides Cultural preference for boys in parts of India results in some of the largest imbalances between males and females in the world. This leads to sex-selective abortions and infanticide of girls, while boys are prized because they are believed to mature as leaders of the world and household, as they pass on the family name and traditions. This perpetuates the ongoing role of patriarchy and the customary belief that men are…

Engels’ evaluation narrates the chronicle of the prehistoric periods, illustrating the Greek, Roman, German and other family structures. He began his analysis by categorizing the history into three different stages. The important stages in the family history took place long before written records were kept. In the era of savagery, group marriage predominated; during the time of barbarism, a form of pairing became common. The critical change occurred with civilization; modern monogamy or…
