Depending on the social and historical context, vitalism has either been radically opposed to accepted Christian teachings, or a very quaint, and somewhat religious pseudo-scientific explanation for biological phenomena. In some sense, it seems as though the very concept of vitalism is analogous to the belief in…

The Response Rodger Crawford once said, “Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.” This quote is quite true in the non-fiction book Spare Parts by; Joshua Davis. Spare Parts is about four low class, undocumented teenagers within America, who beat the world’s best engineering university in a robotics competition. To deepen my thinking of the book, I attended an author presentation at NIACC. Spare Parts focused a great deal on immigration, education, confidence, and…

Wagoner and Bresco aim to help readers understand how memory is influential and impactful when it comes to conflict. They open by explaining that conflict and memory can be commonly found on “two sides of the same coin” (Brescó & Wagoner, 2016). I other words conflict and memory feed into one another.

Identify key differences and similarities between…

The Correspondence Theory of Truth by Lauren E Munroe The correspondence theory of truth is the understanding that when we analyze a statement, we determine whether the statement is true or false when we compare statement(s) to objects within their corresponding world using knowledge of this world, and if those objects are performing and or visually reflecting what the statement is stating they are doing. For example, person 1 states that they are a platypus. Person 2 analyzes the truth or…

Methodological review Addocks and Collier’s article “Measurement Validity: A Shared Standard for Qualitative and Quantitative Research attempts to solve a number of theoretical and methodological problems concerning variable viability. In doing so they seek to address four distinct problems within the realms of political science research.

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). In other words, when Emerson says “experiments,” this can be referred to McCandless as his adventure across the U.S. From meeting many new people, to canoeing in the Colorado River. McCandless went on a crazy, risky trip and it can be compared to the words of Emerson. In Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless displays his view on life, just as Ralph Waldo Emerson did, by being self reliant,…

Reflective Statement In my opinion, Oedipus was not going to be a simple task. The idea of going deep into this topic caused hesitations and doubts since Oedipus is more than far fetched. To deal with the Greek world of that time is something risky. You need precise information and clear understanding Athenian tragedy. Oedipus Rex by Sophocles is the first in the dramatic historical chronology. It deals with the story of Oedipus, a man who becomes King of Thebes. In the process of the play he…
