    • 4 Pages

    Mooji states his purpose as a nondual teacher is the same as his master, Papaji, in that he simply looks to point the seeker to an area of ‘openness’, which gives them the opportunity to awaken to the Self by their own accord. He states his teachings should ‘pass over’ the one studying, and not be dwelled upon.

    Throughout much of the second World War, Argentina and Germany maintained a fairly civil relationship despite numerous bouts of tension. This amicable relationship was likely due to the vast amount of German immigrants present in Argentina; however, after increased pressure from the United States and the country’s concern regarding the rising popularity of pro-nazism primarily amongst its German residents, Argentina broke its ties with Germany and pledged its loyalty to the Allies. Argentinian…

Bell would not view this as a problem to his theory but just associate those people as “deaf people at a musical concert”, but in reality it is because Bell has an honorific definition of visual art (indirectly implying that there is no such thing as bad art because only true art has significant…

    Kinship terms are a way for the speaker to refer to themselves or others. For example, two brothers may call each other anh (older brother) and em (younger sibling). However, kinship terms do not have to be used solely with people who are related. It is normal for a couple to call each other em and anh. When kinship terms are used in direct address, they add both an increased formality and level of personal concern (Thompson, 1965). The topic of my paper will be on the usage of kinship terms and…

Sometimes the best way to win is not to fight at all, this perhaps is what Sun Tzu’s ultimate secret is. Nation often rush into wars, with very little concern or thinking through of the course it is going to be; not only in money but in terms of human suffering; not only to ourselves but the civilians of…

We see a cute dog or cat and we ask the owner what the gender of the dog is. We want to know because we grew up in a society where you either have to be a boy or a girl. With this thought in mind, the communicative contexts that I have learned in this course that seem to really have an impact on shaping…

    This article “What Do Non-Binary People Want?" By Elliott Jensen is over how non-binary people have no real identification in society. In the beginning Elliott uses an analogy to provide an example of how it may feel to a person of one gender to be the only one in a crowd of the opposite. “Imagine, for a moment, that you’re the only man or woman in a sea of women or men. All day, every day, you interact with people of a different gender from yourself. Additionally, this other gender has filled…
