Honorific

In Aristotle’s term, justice is telogical; therefore, it is the “essential nature” or “purpose” (186) of the action that determines if it is right. He also claims justice is “honorific” (186) since it must include virtuous actions. Just as in nature, as the more deserving reap more rewards, society must create and honor good citizens. Finally, Sandel compares these theories and debates which ideas citizens should follow. The author…

princeps extends to all residents of Rome. In addition, in Chapter 35 of the Res Gestae, Augustus claims that “…the senate and equestrian order and people of Rome all together hailed me as father of the fatherland [patrem patriae] ….”, which seems an honorific title, but Augustus may have saw the title as concrete rather than figurative (Res Gestae 35.1). Thus, by positioning himself as the paternal figure of all residents of Rome, Augustus justifies the powers he holds as…

man-made structure; to the more severe, unfortunate incident (as well as a curiously favored sugar breakfast food). One may wonder how a rather versatile word like “great” should be applied to a noun to describe its respective attribute, such as the honorific of Alexander III of Macedonia. The young king was the son of the Macedonian king, Philip II, and the princess of Epirus, Olympias. During his rule between twenty and thirty-two years of…

Those who have read ‘Great Expectations’ by Charles Dickens would be aware that ‘Havisham’ refers to Miss Havisham in the book. The lack of an honorific title symbolises her embarrassment and denial about her rejection in love and moreover puts her on par with characters like Hamlet and Othello, who weren’t at any point called ‘Prince Hamlet’ or ‘General Othello’. This technique used by Duffy portrays the persona as being of great importance; however, to anyone who hasn’t read the book, the…

Culture is a way of life shared by people in a society. Culture is exceptional, although it may have other things in common with other cultures. Culture is all about religion, food, dressings, language, and music, believes, greetings, behavior, and other things. According to Live Science, the United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Nearly every region of the world has influenced American culture, as it’s a country of immigrants. Within its vast area, Nigeria…

From the video, the students and Professor Michael Sandel debate arguments about supporting and opposing the idea of same sex marriage and even solo marriage. They take the spot of legislators for voting a new marriage law that is morally right and permissible in the society. Then they come up with a third viewpoint that if the states and government want to be neutral then they shouldn’t be involved in such regulation. It is extremely challenging to find an acceptable law to correspond to the…

The culture of every individual is expressed not only in good breeding, in the way of dressing or level of intelligence quotient, but also in the manner we speak. The “Tu (singular you) – Vous (plural you)” distinction in speech helps to differentiate “familiar” and “polite” forms. In ancient times T/V symbolized class difference, now it is mostly used for asymmetrical relationship, to show solidarity. Nowadays, the use of T/V also depends on the country and its traditions and norms of…

Rome’s Purpose for Sculpture and Painting As has been the case throughout this course, I am once again intrigued by this week’s Learning Journal question. I had not previously thought about the purpose of Roman sculpture or considered if there were cherished Roman paintings, similar to the Mono Lisa. My research for this assignment surprised me. While the Romans no doubt enjoyed the esthetic of art, it was more to them. It was yet another tool for them to use, apply, exploit as a technology, the…

conciliating a peaceful transition to a South African government that would enfranchise all of its citizens, and in a historic election, he won the presidency there in 1994. After his term in office ended in 1999, Mandela -who was often called by the honorific title “Madiba”continued to work for causes of racial equality, justice, and…

Ines, and the girl with the bow. In addition, throughout the story Luciana’s mother is referred to “Senora Ines” rather than Ines, and if considering the story being told in the first person POV (Rosaura) is true; then Senora is merely an added honorific to Ines by Rosaura since she is a rich woman. Furthermore, in the…
