In this writing, I will be talking about people who have climbed Mt. Everest or any other mountains. I will talk about what I think about them. I think that it is not worth it to climb Mt.

Characters such as Viola and Olivia from William Shakespeare’s comedy, Twelfth Night, and Britomart from Edmund Spenser’s epic, The Faire Queene, are used to critique society’s conception of the masculine and feminine that expects women to be subordinate. These characters are confronted with various opportunities to assert themselves; however they must first overcome obstacles created by the general taboo against women…

early. Even though his unfinished edifice was successfully nailed on the door of Cartesian tradition long ago; the discussion fell, and is still falling, upon deaf ears. This split with the tradition led him to a disagreement with his old master Edmund Husserl concerning the interpretation of Phenomenology. Heidegger’s reformation of phenomenology led him to reject Husserl’s notion of a transcendental ego’s relationship to objects with a more fundamental understanding; the interpretation of…
