is exemplified when he admits that the “primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn’t forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student” (Rodriguez 17). Afterwards, this concept is explored throughout the rest of his essay as he follows his past actions and comes to think of his parents as simply “not like my teachers” (Rodriguez 21). However, throughout his work he only keeps one perspective that is supported by a…

argument. Lastly, the means of which experts within the judicial system can be recognized as “professional thieves” will further confirm the theory of conflict as property to another degree. To begin with, one must comprehend Nils Christie’s main concept before evaluating…

As discussed in class the concept of ideology is simple, it is seen as a set of ideas and assumptions or premises that aim particularly to reinforce a dominant social order, which can also be seen as the power of a dominant social group. The quote on page 7 in lecture captures this perfectly, “To study ideology is to study how ideas and power intersect.” Ideology is seen as most dominant when there is a set of certain ideas that will particularly catch the interest of an elite group, as it is…

The fight for equality will go on forever and chances that some movements will repeat themselves are probable; sometimes, history needs to repeat itself to get things right. We have gone so much further as a society with not forcing down concepts that categorize people in roles of masculinity or femininity. If a girl wears “masculine” clothing or a boy wears “feminine” clothing, there is less of a gender bias and that is progress. If a girl doesn’t act overly emotional or a boy cries easily…

The project that I chose is called Water Light Graffiti. This is an interactive art instillation that has a moisture-sensitive surface. The instillation is equipped with thousands of LEDs in order to created illuminated art. The LEDs light up when touched by water. Water Light Graffiti is a very interesting and beautiful art instillation. Water plays a crucial part in this instillation. When water touches the “canvass”, it creates an electrical bridge and gives the power for the installation to…

And no matter the writing is fiction or nonfiction, non abstract language nor vague words are supposed to be used in specific writing. As one of the most powerful writing techniques,…

How does an individual adapt to change? How does adapting to this change affect his relationships, his perspective, or his life in general? These are questions that are answered thoroughly in The Accidental Tourist, as they are relevant to the text thematically. In the novel, the focus is placed primarily on protagonist Macon Leary; special attention is given to his adjustment to the loss of his son and an impending divorce from his wife, Sarah. Through this focus on Macon’s changes in life, the…

by Hermann Hesse aimed to change this classic view on the power of words and assert that, although language is invaluable for worldly affairs, when dealing with the forces of divinity and higher spiritual enlightenment, words lead to distortion of concepts. An overwhelming theme of the novel rings out to be that knowledge can be transferred through words, but true wisdom cannot be. To solidify this theme, Hesse builds two seemingly opposing views on nirvana that are in actuality rooted in…

According to Forbes (1995), in order for a normally embodied thinker to think about concepts such as brain, in and vat, she “must somehow be informationally linked to” instances of those concepts (206). However, Forbes does not consider (and it seems to me that he does not think he needs to consider) what particular sorts of “informational links” are sufficient to enable a thinker to think about those concepts, though he suggests that an is-and-always-has-been BIV has no such informational links…
