Future

In Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Denver is seen as the future generation of free African Americans. However, Denver is hindered by her mother and the baby ghost to leave 124 and explore life as a free African American. Denver is an outsider, which makes her unable to have a mutual connection with Sethe, Paul D, and Beloved. According to critics, Denver is seen as the “daughter of hope”, which prohibits Denver from forming a mutual connection to any of the characters that suffered slavery because the…

Many studies have demonstrated that most people believe that their lives follow a continuously improving trajectory where people 's evaluation of their past self includes more self-criticism than their evaluation of their present self and that their future self is evaluated even more positively than the present self (Kanten and Teigen, 2008; Grysman, A., Prabhakar, J., Anglin, S. M., & Hudson, J. A. 2015). Individuals’ belief in self improvement from the past to the present has been explained…

Complete dismissal of the acknowledgment of past events is often a way for people to move on into the future. Yearning to forget past events is something that many people will do, but never really succeed in doing. In A Gesture Life, Chang-rae Lee’s character Franklin “Doc” Hata strives to erase past events in his life in order to solidify his identity. He does this in the hopes of achieving a seemingly perfect lifestyle to the bystanders in his neighborhood. With this, Doc Hata builds a clean…

Kantian system of inquiry combines data and theory through reciprocity in an abductive manner. Therefore, quantitative or qualitative data in this type of study should raise important aspects about the future worth considering. However, a Kantian oriented Delphi would address both probable and preferred futures (ibid). Fourthly, an Hegelian inquiry system is based on forming a thesis and its antithesis proceeding towards a synthesis in a dialogue (ibid). This implies that a “Hegelian Delphi…

enables us to evaluate and subsequently apply different techniques in future circumstances. Upon reflection, my experience with Knowledge, Education and Communication (KEC) over the past semester has been extremely positive. Although I faced a few challenges (namely choosing a topic of enquiry and concerns with the oral presentation), I found strategies to overcome these, and am excited to apply my newly developed skills into future experiences. Challenge: choosing a topic Experience –…

Kindred was penned by Octavia Butler in the late 1970’s, a time where there was limited written legal differences between races, but still much in the way of unrecognized social disparities. The fabulist nature of Octavia’s book gives it the space to speak to the many abuses and inequalities faced by African-American women in the 1800’ and 1976. The disease of power, victimization and sexualization of women, the power of norms—all play a powerful role in the novel. Most noteworthy, however, is…

He draws on the past to speak of the future, the mentioning of such historic events in our history is not a coincidence, it is purposeful. When the words, liberty, all men created equal, and new nation are uttered they all resonate with the people. It was those words that helped to liberate…

Describe the setting: The setting of George Orwell’s 1984 is set in the future of Oceania. Oceania is a country, which is in a continuous state of war. In Oceania the living conditions of the country are extremely poor and the buildings are in ruins.
