3. Power & Control Marvin Harris has mentioned in !Kung Bushman’s Band-and-village societies, the leadership called headman without formal power and those leaders only use their admiration to convince their clansman to do things. In foraging tribes, reciprocity and redistribution are the ways to reduce risk from hunting, so the returns of hunting should be unspecified and uncalculated, which caused all people in these societies have equal chance to get food and generously share all resources;…

Dickinson has hidden messages in each line. Editors of Shmoop make it easier to comprehend how she uses strong words such as “formal” and “ceremonious,” for example, “After great pain, a formal feeling comes” (line 1). Great pain is normal after a death and formal more reveals that a death has occurred because funerals are formal. These are strong, detailed words that provide a lot of information while paraphrasing. “The nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs” (2). Tombs don’t have…

When entering this English 101 course, I did not know what to expect. I knew the course was going to be a lot of writing and work, but I would be able to get through it. A nervousness did fall over me while I started my first writing assignment. I knew I had a lot of improvement to do when it came to writing essays. I soon realized that college essays were nowhere near what someone would find in a high school setting. I soon came to the realization that I had very many issues throughout my…

Talk “Txting is killing language. JK!!!” he asserts that despite what many believe, texting is not, in fact, killing the written language. McWhorter concludes that texting is akin to the written version of casual speech. That rather than replacing formal writing it’s like new dialect, simply diversifying the complexity of language. Throughout the entirety of McWhorter’s speech he employs the pathos of humor, replacing the common feeling of disdain most feel when facing topics like the…

The release date of a film can speak volumes about a film. It is a marker of all the elements available at a specific time to form the formal and social qualities of a film. Often, directors adapt or remake films to shed a new light on the story or situation. In 1998, Nancy Meyers directed the remake of Disney’s The Parent Trap from 1961, and the growth, in both formal and social qualities, within thirty-seven years is evident. The distinct differences between the childhood classic films The…

In addition to Ethics, Aristotle also wrote about physics. Aristotle’s notions of physics are what we know consider to be “ancient physics” because there are a lot of differences when compared to modern physics. Ancient physics has many aspects of how things are caused. According to Aristotle, there are four causes that cause things to happen which he mentioned in his notion of physics. Each cause presents a distinct reason for things to happen, and contributes to the causes differently.…

Aristotle further lengthens his study of syllogism in On Interpretation to study modal logic. Modal logic is phrases that use possibly or necessarily. On Interpretation does bring up a problem about a fixed future. The problem is that what happened in the past either happened or it didn’t, therefor what happens in the future will either happen or it will not. So that brings up the idea of a fixed future. Aristotle rejects this idea of a fixed future and says that what is said about the future…

individuals need to have the pleasure outweigh the punishment for the crime or deviant behavior they will commit. The types of social control for this theory that have been tested are formal and informal. The formal control has been proven to help reduce the behavior of an individual but, it is not as effective as informal. Formal control/sanctions are those that are presented by the law enforcement, courts, etc. they have a more direct influence. Informal controls come from family, peers, and…

like, being shunned, being laughed at, talked about or could even be physically harmed. I believe that’s why so many of us fear being ourselves in public and being able to do things that make us happy. There are two types of norms, formal norms and informal norms. Formal norms can be viewed as rules or laws that are usually written down, they are strict and punishable if broken in any way. One example are the laws in the United States created by the Government in order to have some control…

Visual artists do not need as formal of an education to become painters or sculptors because they can learn through apprenticeships. Non-visual artists need a more formal education in the Renaissance’s Humanism subjects such as history, literature, grammar, and philosophy to become historians or poets. Nobles are able to afford formal education since most are from wealthy families. Artisans and merchants typically have enough money to afford apprenticeships but not a formal, higher…
