There have been many battles throughout the course of history to get the same respect and treatment as men. Unfortunately, some women…

Perspective is important. Perspective can be equated to perception, and our perception is how we see or understand things. These things hold great power over how we see our lives. In Rory Sutherland’s Ted Talk “Perspective is everything” he talks about how powerful perspective is and how changing your perspective can the enrich the livelihood of your life. His main ideal is that most people are happier when they feel they are in control of their life. There is power all around us, we hold power…

Touching the Breeze: Sue Goyette’s Ocean “Objects are the way things appear to a subject – that is with a name, an identity, a gestalt or a stereotypical template. … Things, on the other hand, … [signal] the moment when the Object becomes the Other, when the sardine can look back, when the mute idol speaks, when the subject experiences the object as uncanny and feels the need for what Foucault calls ‘a metaphysics of the object, or, more exactly, a metaphysics of that never objectifiable depth…

Discourse in Favor of the Reality of Time: An Argument against McTaggart’s Unreality of Time In this paper, I will first begin by explaining J. Ellis McTaggart’s argument and reasoning to why he believes that time is unreal , followed by my opinion on his defense of the argument and conclude with a rejection of his premise to prove the reality of time.

kept fixed, and the characters had to follow the camera to get in audience’s sight. That feeling of intentional uncertainty, the same brilliance and eccentricity are found in Walter Murch’s “In the Blink of an Eye”, the book that changed my entire perception of cinema in one fell swoop. At first, I was simply a passive viewer,…

Having studied the first part “what is real”, I reconsidered the seemingly real world that I originally took for granted. And it followed that several questions came over my mind. Firstly of all, what is the measurement of the degree to which something is real? Or in other words, how can we prove that something we perceive is real?

It was a place I have never been. It was divergent and diverse than what I was used too. Eye-opening would be the right adjective to describe this piece of land. I remember waking up to cooked sausages, biscuits, eggs, and most importantly a rare piece of food some would say has the same texture of grits but it was really rice.
