Looking Backward

Amigos came a few hours later, I supposed it was because I was in- and-out of it. I summoned up some energy and asked my question, but could only open one eye while doing so. With that one eye I searched the tri-sets for an answer. “Why are you looking at us with only one eye?” Dr. King asked…

The bruises were still as apparent as yesterday, only now the matching set of bruises on his collarbone and neck were visible. “What are you looking at?” He ordered. “Are you gay?” Lucille asked taking a strand of the boy’s hair into her grasp. “No, are you?” “Probably. What’s your name?” Lucille asked taking more hair into her hands and began combing through the strands. The boy pulled…

Swish! I materialized into existence a foot above the ground before landing on my feet safely. I loosened the seals of my helmet and with a hiss, the airtight atmosphere around my head rushed out of meet the morning winter air. There was nothing better than taking off our helmet after wearing it for so long; after awhile it gets stifling and, under extreme conditions, unbearable. Nothing spoke more volumes than feeling the fresh air sensate your head. I took in a breath, confirming it: Cold,…

children, if to a natural born US Citizen? Would ID or registration numbers be required for college entrance or job applications? These types of questions push us back into levels and reasons for classifications that are the very focus of the backward-looking proponent of affirmative…

Retro Walking has become a trend among Hawaiian population for the last 5 years (LALALAND, 2016; SOMEBODY, 20217). One might ask: Why on earth would someone want to walk backwards? Is that itself not a strange and backwards notion? In fact, everybody should walk backwards sometimes. First, it exercises the brain and provides a good muscle activity, substantially increasing body health. The study conducted by Michale Jackobsson in 1988 argues that retro-walking, or “moonwalking”, not just…

One main societal aspect expressed in Sargent’s Utopianism: A Very Short Introduction and played out in the novels Utopia, Herland, and Looking Backwards is education of citizens. In all three books all societies valued education and placed it high up on their main concerns. However one can observe differences in the way the education of citizens is carried out among the novels. Citizens in Thomas More’s Utopia valued education above all else. When one wasn’t working they were studying and…

Farrell adds to this debate by offering a unique take on the justification of punishment. In the paper, Farrell conceives the justification of punishment as “weakly retributivistic” –a balance between the radical form of retributivism and a forward-looking notion of punishment. Farrell, like Jeffrie G.

I also notice how he did not care what others thought about him. But when I was violating a norm I felt embarrassed I was not used to see people commenting about me like that. When I was violating a norm I also notice the way people were looking, commenting and talking about me. Also how some just ignore me and thought I was not okay. People’s believes are different, they all reacted different to the norm violation. I think it all depends on what people believes is right or wrong. Most of…
