probably would have been the next Bonifacio of his time. But, nurtured in a much fortunate conditions, Rizal grew up to be a bourgeois idealist, putting his faith in reason and belief in the inevitability of progress. And like any proper Victorian, Rizal would preferred assimilation over separatism, or simply reform over…

1. How is Unemployment measured in Australia? Let me first define unemployment rate. It is the percentage of people in the labour force who are unemployed. This is a popular measure around the world for tracking the nation 's economic health and stability as it eliminates people who are not joinging the labour force and it is not directly influenced by population growth. It is measured primarily by making an account of those people who are ready to enter into paid work and have recently taken…

and the Holy Spirit. Many of these people have had phenomenal experiences, which contributed to the formation of an unmovable faith, which became the essential proof of His existence to those individuals. His Children, have no doubt that God exists, just as His Word proclaims. Although some skeptics attempt to alter the faith of His Children, His Children have certainly known for a fact, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are correct in their belief of the existence of God. This belief…

learn. Like Frederick Douglass his Mistress Sophia Auld taught him the beginnings of how to read. He remembered his master’s words in rebuking his wife for teaching him. If he was not introduced to the alphabet, a privilege of the white man, in his time he would not have had to will to learn to read. Frederick Douglass realized first what was expected from him as a slave and then what the whites had access to. Even as a boy he had double consciousness and took advantage of it (Three African…

Rawls advises that if people would choose a different principle to regulate liberty, such as from a position of self-interest, then the result would be discrimination against some people viz., those who are not like oneself. The subsequent situation would then be an approval of a reduced liberty for everyone. Therefore, by using the veil of ignorance, and justifying that the people in the original position are “rational and mutually disinterested,” Rawls is able to answer the objection of…

Lee’s second shortcoming on presenting Malcolm the person rather than Malcolm the myth lies in his strategic use of speeches. Lee uses Malcolm’s speeches to perpetuate the myth that Malcolm was the epitome of black culture and oppression under a white regime. Each speech that Lee chooses to put in the film is based on a real speech that Malcolm X gave. These speeches are technically historically accurate, yet they say a lot about the motive behind creating this film. The first speech is based on…

What is humor? Humor can be someone or something that is funny. What is funny can depend on someone’s sense of humor. Humor can be offensive at times by hurting one’s religion, race, sex, and other things to laugh at the expense of others. Despite that there are many television programs and cartoons that make funs of people being in a certain kind of group. Has society fallen so low that we like to hurt each other’s feelings? Bottom line is there are many different types of humor like flavors of…

“Humans are born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward” (Job 5:7 NIV). These are the astute words of Eliphaz, one of Job’s well-meaning friends. The observation is on target; as long as a fire continues, sparks blaze upward, are extinguished, and a new shower appears. Likewise, as long as life continues, it is fraught with difficulties. In Job’s case, however, it was not a matter of a cloud of sparks; his life itself resembled a blazing inferno. Here we encounter Job coming to grips with the…

The rise to fame and stardom is unique to all who have earned it. At times however, it is found that the circumstances and motivations fueling their success mirror each other. These constance branch across time periods and genres. Even in two distinct genres, such as hip-hop and jazz, two greats can be found with similarities in their tutelage, rise to fame and personas. Miles Davis and Kanye West, despite having so much between them, contain many parallels when observing what made them into…

Bob Marley was a dedicated Rastafarian who infused his music with a sense of spirituality. He is considered one of the most influential musicians of all time and credited with popularizing reggae music around the world, serving as a symbol of Jamaican culture and identity. Hearing and learning about him was how I first became acquainted with the sound of Jamaican music. Having a cousin who is half Jamaican, I found myself somewhat submerged in the culture. His father would listen to Jamaican…
