The United States of America is considered by many “The Great Melting Pot” because of its tradition to welcome people from different places of the world. In contrast to other nations, by the virtue of its fundamental principles, the USA is a country of diverse religions, races, cultures and ethnicities that according to the idea of the melting pot, fuse to form the notion of America. In the poem, The Melting Pot, Israel Zangwill, argues that while Israel is a nation where people from all kinds…

Describe your impressions of the culture as you read the story. Did you identify culturally specific meaningful activities, language, and nonverbal behavior? What was your reaction to learning the meaning of the name Nacirema? Even before Dr. Bailey’s post, I connected the community of the Nacirema to that of the Sawi people in Don Richardson’s book. My initial impression of both cultures was the same, shock. However, I was more astonished by the Nacirema people because of their…

Magistrates were themselves unpaid officials who were drawn from the ranks of the wealthy, and were expected to defend the English law as amateurs. As a result, many magistrates were easily corrupted. In London, Horace Walpole believed that ‘the greatest criminals of this town are the officers of justice’. (McDonald Lynn Page 126 )Though magistrates were extremely powerful men, many found their duties extremely burdensome and often dealt with their heavy caseloads…

then, just like it still is today. We use it all the time, especially with education, but we don’t necessarily learn this topic. Education wasn’t necessarily made. The concept of school, however, was. The concept of school was made by a man named Horace Mann. In every century, parents wanted the child to be educated and have a smart lifestyle. Schools from different places at the time taught different skills. All throughout the years, everyone was educated. Parents and little children were…

Sensuality can be described as "Of or arousing gratification of the senses and physical, especially sexual, pleasure" (Oxford, 2016). Circa says “Most commonly the target of her affections was female”. One disagrees that her poetry displays a confession of a sensual relationship. Rather, it just lets out her emotive feelings. My argument is that her poetry is metaphorical showing a new and creative representation of the future and although could view her poetry as having sensual links, this does…

From vehement scholarly historians to the general public, the Civil War has struck great debates for many years. So, was the Civil War about slavery? Indeed it was. But to presume the notion that slavery alone was the preeminent cause of the United States Civil War is not a complete fulfillment, nor a clear depiction of history. Moreover, to simply adhere that the institution of slavery lived to be the birth and death of the war is considerably controversial to say the least. Multiple issues…

The purpose and goals of President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War have been a hotly debated topic. On one end of the spectrum is the belief that the war began with the intent of preserving the Union, and ended with the intent of abolishing slavery. On the other end is the belief that goals in the war were consistently pointed towards the preservation of the Union. Abraham Lincoln, when inaugurated, fully intended to make it his only goal to preserve the Union, and to stay out of most…

Although largely lost, some of Aristotle’s key points were preserved in “Poetics.” Through the dialog of Dorante in “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme,” Molière notes that using references to Aristotle or Horace to distinguish good and bad plays is like deciding if a dish is good by referring to the recipe. Dorante adds that the only rule that cannot be broken is to please the audience. (Calder) Although he may deny it, Molière’s plays follow Aristotle’s…
