Externalization

Knowledge can be distinguished in two different types. Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) describe knowledge as existing in two dimensions – tacit and explicit knowledge. In essence, knowledge is most commonly categorised as either explicit (coded) or tacit (that which is in people's heads). Tacit knowledge is the personal and context specific knowledge of a person that resides in the human mind, behaviour, and perception (Duffy2000). It evolves from people's interactions and requires skill and…

psychologically related. Bontly continues by looking at the psychoanalytic reading of the novella. He writes that “if the governess is mad and the ghosts hallucinatory, we then have a world in which evil is an illusion, an irrelevant value judgment, the externalization of inner psychological forces which are, in themselves, neither good nor evil but empirical facts” (Bontly p.722). Here Bontly is playing with the idea of the evil that the governess feels from the apparitions. In her mind they…

William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, was written in 1954 in the post world war 2 era. This is where Golding drew his inspiration for his novel. One of the major themes, good vs. evil, can be closely tied to the religious allegory and the struggle between good and evil within the war. Religion also plays a major role in the novel because many characters and objects can be thought of as symbols for it. Through Golding’s work the theme of good vs. evil, shown through Jack and Ralph, Simon…

Frankenstein is arguably one of the most well-known horror stories known in contemporary society. Since its publication in 1818, various film and literary adaptations have been due to its popularity and critique of human morality in the face of technological innovation. Although promoted as one of the first science fiction novels, Frankenstein contained more elements of horror stemming from its gothic elements and romantic thought aside from its components of science fiction. By examining the…

“Religion implies the farthest reach of man 's self-externalization, of his infusion of reality with his own meanings. Religion implies that human order is projected into the totality of being” (Berger 28). Essentially, our own “reality” is a by-product of social construction. This idea that challenges our own…

Today pollution has another meaning compared to how it was defined during the Middle Ages. Currently, pollution is the introduction into the environment of a substance that has harmful effects. Immediately one 's mind jumps to factory smoke or chemicals. However, for most people, a person judged to be simply out of place is not one of those definitions. Pollution was viewed not in its modern sense of bacteria or chemicals, but as in odd sense that confuses and contradicts cherished…

The Psychological Analysis of Lord of the Flies In Lord of the Flies, young boys ranging from six to twelve are stranded on a desert island after their plane has crashed.

Despite having lived through multiple instances of physical, verbal, and sexual abuse; more than a decade of heavy substance use; gang violence; and long-term physical, mental, financial, and social instabilities, Brown has managed to turn her life toward success.

Brown’s successful adaptation and coping apart from her past pain and…

As wrapped all the ideas and studies that Stuart Hall and Edward Said contend regarding the identity and culture, I connect them to Du Bois’s studies in regards to individual identity. To Du Bois, individual identity [as Garner and Hancock (2014) report] may be “asked by accounts that leave out some groups’ contributions” (p. 194). The authors emphasize that Du Bois also “outlines theory of the social construction of identity linked to the analysis of power and structural inequality” (2013:194).…
