Interpreters

interpretations of the Salem Witch Trials, it is interesting to look at it like Gail Collins, an American journalist and author, did, as a “Rorschach test.”27 The reflections of previous historians, authors and theorists reveal a lot about the interpreter of the past as much as the actual event of the Salem Witch Trials itself. For all people, Salem will continue to enchant and make all historians from every school of thought to ponder for a long time to…

Georgia O’Keeffe was born in 1887 and became a well-known artist for her enlarged and close-up flowers. One of my favorite pieces of hers is the Black Iris dated in 1926 with oil on canvas. O’Keeffe was influenced by the work of Wassily Kandinsky, oriental scroll painting, and she found Native American art as inspiring as Renaissance art (Potter). I believe what sparked the love for this style of painting was that she wanted to surprise everyone and make even the busiest person stop and see what…

the relationship between ethnographic voices via locale (in all its various meanings) and positionality. I am glad these were specifically ordered, as Linda Alcoff’s questions – who should be speaking for whom? Are ethnographers always the best interpreters? Should the insider authority of the subaltern always be assumed? What kind of violence is being done through this kind of professional/privileged ethnographic interpretation? And what kind of work is needed to disrupt it? – became an…

1. In Ion, Ion claims that his skill at reciting and explaining Homer's Iliad and Odyssey makes him an expert in every field on which Homer touches. What does Socrates think of this? Socrates thinks that Ion does not become an expert in every field on which Homer touches, simply by reciting and explaining Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. This is because of three main reasons. First, Socrates reasons that Ion does not gain any skill, wisdom, or knowledge through reciting and explaining all Homer’ work.…

Introduction My opinion is we deaf people have many inequalities that we are facing in everyday lives are employment and education. We deaf people are treated in unfair circumstances and struggle with economic and resources. Our Government in Ireland need to be aware over our rights and inequality. We can change that for better or worse if we are treat equality. I say the Government had rejection of understanding what the Deaf people would need is recognition of the Irish sign Language on our…

texts in the entire Old Testament that speak of both righteousness and faith together. In verse 11, he quotes Habk. 2:4 and in Gal. 3:6 he quotes Gen.15:6 (“Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.”) Jewish interpreters regularly linked texts on the basis of key words they shared. Since he contrasts faith and works in verses 11 and 12 by quoting Scripture, it is probable his audience were using these texts of the Law to make their case that faith was not…

Native Indians. The Natives showed the Puritans how to build shelters for entertainment and how to produce or plant corn. In the following quote the narrator shows how Squanto was great to the Puritans “ Squanto continued with them and was their interpreter and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation.”…

The Relocation for Labor program would be a government funded operation with a joint handling with the US embassies around the world. The first to test this program would be the embassy located in Mexico City, Mexico. Foreigners who wish to immigrate to the US would follow standard procedures the same as obtaining a traveling Visa, applicants would submit an application at an embassy. Once the application is submitted background checks would be performed and applicants will be placed in a…

3.1 Racism in history Racism is “a phenomenon that results in avoidable and unfair inequalities in power, resources, or opportunities across groups in society. It can be expressed through beliefs, prejudices or behaviours/practices and can be based on race, ethnicity, culture or religion” (Paradies et al., 2009, p. 7). And this definition of racism is mirrored in the history of Indigenous Australians in the more distant past as well as in contemporary Australia. To be specific, the colonial…

From the very beginning of my years in school, I always excelled above the rest in my class. During my time in elementary school I was moved around on multiple occasions. I attended a wonderful specialty school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota that challenged me and allowed me to show how good at learning I was. Right before my fourth grade year I moved to Buda, Texas. The new school I attended will never compare to how remarkable the last one was. Still, I proved how keen on learning I was.…
