Mary Douglas’ grid-group theory proposes that there are only five social groups. The first group, fatalism, represents a high grid and low group and a society that feels powerless. Fatalists believe that their futures have been predetermined and accept that there is nothing they can do to change it. Second, hierarchy, high grid and high group, is a group that cooperates with one another under a set of rules and procedures they must follow. Thirdly, Individualism, low grid and low group, is a…

1. In the Bayeux tapestry, the artists used only a few words. Those were used to identify the scene, and to identify the important figures. The remaining, and the most important part of the story is left for visualization. For example in the second picture, Harold is depicted on the throne with his crown. That was used to justify the Normans’ invasion against the English. This significant part of the story is left for the viewer to see and learn from the tapestry. The history is told in the art…

The world of semantics is dominated by two types of naming theories: descriptivist and causal. Defenders of these two theories seem to discredit each other, thinking the world of semantics must choose one or the other. I, however, do not believe this has to be the case. In this essay I will argue that parts of descriptivist and causal theories of names can come together to create a better overall theory of names: a hybrid theory. I will do this by looking at the argument Gareth Evans makes in…

Oppressive regimes often keep its citizens crushed under brutal laws. The world of London in 1984, Iran in the 1980s, and the infamous Hermit Kingdom North Korea are examples of this. However, out of the three, North Korea seems the best place to live in because of its steady exposure to the outside world. North Korea is the best place to live out of the three stifling societies. 1984’s London is too stifling. There, your every move is watched and recorded. Not only that but our own children…

what constitutes sinning and what doesn’t; a sin is a very loosely defined word. Syncletica dedicated her life to God and her religion which I think is a very noble of her. It couldn’t have been easy for her to make the decision to live the life of a hermit after the death of her…

Solitude can be such a frightening word to most people. Most human beings are naturally social creatures, and see solitude as an analog to being a social outcast or a hermit. It’s simply not true, in those moments alone can help someone reevaluate themselves. Tupac Shakur spent some of his time in solitude pondering goals, trying to find and define himself without compromising who he is. I spend some of my moments in solitude, it allows me to find clarity and reflect on how to approach…

The narrator realizes this through listening to the sound of the hermit thrush. The voice or song of the thrush, as heard by the narrator, is perceived to be to be "His voice upon the air" (l. 10). The sound is sudden and slightly breaks the idea of this softness. I feel as though this is a relatable situation for anyone…

and Ice? If you are literally speaking then yes, there is a enormous difference; one being: they are completely different temperatures, and two: they are opposing elements. But what are precisely their differences? If someone is much like a hermit crab, and lives tucked away in the mountains, never comes out, and has a history of unpleasantness, and wretchedness toward the nearby town, anyone could describe him as a fiery, always angry man, or a cold hearted person. Both being to the same…

The Rule of St. Benedict, written approximately 530 CE, is based on the writings of Benedict himself. The Rule of St. Benedict is a guide for the cenobitic monk and their way of life. In the introduction, Benedict discusses a school for the Lord’s service and advises that there is need of some strictness and a requirement for discipline on their part, both to correct the faults they have and to protect our love for each other, and that taking this path will be troublesome in the beginning…

His rule included new ideologies and virtues regarding the Rule for monks and the Role of the Abbot. In 1209 a new religious order was approved by the Pope Innocent III. This order was founded and ruled by Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226, which was one of the three orders of Saint Francis. The First Order, regarded as Order of Friars Minor or simply “Franciscans” are mendicant men, people who practice and live in poverty. The Second Order, the Poor Clares, are the religious sisters of order or nuns…
