The only Marine who’s distressed unconscious is still upsetting his conscious is Dyer as the narrator has to “put a spoon in his hand” just to get him to eat (Klay 27). Not every mind works the same and some people’s unconscious are better at protecting the conscious than others. Freud’s theories are the backbone of…

Throughout its years of prevalence in the popular music industry, the disco genre has always polarised opinions. The subject of some quite literally explosive protests, many have hated disco for its supposed vapidity and homogeneity, and few have defended it. I will assert that the “disco sucks” movement was a populist declaration of difference and supposedly superior taste, musical purism built on racist, homophobic and hyper-masculine ideologies. My essay will be based on ideas from Richard…

In a sense, I had conditioned…

Stereotypes have a bad reputation and according to Richard Dyer, in the text ‘the role of stereotypes’, he said, “The word ‘stereotype’ is today almost always a term of abuse (Dyer, 1993: 10)”. I agree with this quote because we are constantly being reminded that we are generalizing and that stereotyping is wrong, but as I have mentioned…

A True Leader: Staff Sergeant Rudy Rodriguez. Doctor Paul Dyer (2015) stated the following, “teams succeed or fail, organizations triumph or disappear and even countries rise and fall largely as a result of the quality of their leadership.” (p. 37). Luckily, the Army has exposed me to the full spectrum of leadership styles, qualities, and outcomes thereof. Looking back on my experience in the military, I can recall one leader that was genuine, authentic, and truly embodied the core values that…

Wayne Dyer, an American philosopher once said "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change,” (Wayne, Dyer), regarding one’s general perception of life. My perception on life is always changing with each passing year as it is being re-evaluated and looked upon differently through new experiences and knowledge. This notion is not only lived out in my life but, it can also be seen in literature such as Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Foer. Main characters…
