Nervous Conditions

Medieval period roughly around c. 500-1400. Being the pope in 1198, Lotario drove many medieval beliefs within the society and strengthened the medieval ideas during that period. He expressed his ideas in his book called The Misery of the Human Condition, written in 1195 which reflected a set of christian attitudes he believed in. On the other hand, Pico della Mirandola lived between c. 1463-1494, which was the rising era of the Renaissance period. He was influenced by the humanistic ideas…

Associated problem one Due to Beryl not being very mobile, having a poor diet and being incontinent she is at risk of developing pressure ulcers. A pressure ulcer is the localised injury to the skin or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence as a result of pressure (Delves-Yates, Everett & Wright, 2015). All patients regardless of age are potentially at risk of pressure ulcers (Myers, 2014). There are around 410,000 people who develop pressure ulcers a year which costs the NHS £1.8-£2.6…

of anyone who were different in any way, shape, or form, namely those who didn’t look, act, or belong with them. For them, the ability to be cautious towards “the other” could very much have been the difference between life and death. The human condition has been prevalent in our society since the rise of the Homo species. It has been the silent voice in the back of our mind and it has been instrumental in shaping our actions and ourselves throughout history, and even today. Stains, In Cuba I…

On display in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art are two works painted within about a decade of each other. At first glance, they seem to have little in common other than the fact that they each depict four human beings. One would not expect to be able to draw a meaningful commonality between the two based solely on this, and if the viewers make their observation merely on the surface level of the works, they will not. However, the existence of these two sets of people, the essence of humanity…

Each humanities course focuses on a different aspect of the human condition. History is tinged by the perception of the writer, while Sociology focuses on the human society, and psychology focuses on the human mind. Literature on the other hand, has the unique ability to incorporate all of these through short stories and plays. Over the semester we have had assignments where we had to read several of these. In each of these, there always seemed to be some sort of moral dilemma. Sometimes…

From the outer appearance of the skin you can infer if anything is wrong or may be going wrong inside the body. Diet is a factor for how how skin can appear, knowing this I want to find out if a specific diet could possibly help clear my skin. In the beginning of my skin flare ups, I visited with my primary care physician. Hoping to eliminate the possibility of…

Internal Vices To be human is to be at a constant mental battle between being moral or succumbing to personal desire. People are naturally embedded with emotions that often dictate our decisions and thoughts; therefore, people’s minds are often completely ruled by this internal struggle. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the theme of morality versus desire presents itself in its characters such as Hamlet, Claudius and Ophelia; Hamlet who is completely trapped in his own hatred, Claudius who is envious…

as human can yearn for, whether it be from family, friends or a relation with more of an intimate intent. Through personal experiences and beliefs, along with the reading of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in class and personal readings of the Human Condition by Hannah Arendt, I came to the conclusion that a person cannot reach their full potential, find happiness or simply live without some type of human connection or love in their hearts. With love in our hearts we can thrive and grow, when love…

one must absorb the complete breadth of wisdom that Sinclair Ross has imparted in this, what is surely one of the greatest pieces of Canadian literature of all time. One property of this prominent, small-time opus is the grand scale of the human condition it takes a brief study on. The experience of humanity takes upon itself many forms and facets, and this novel is a prime example of such experiences; even if not primarily evident at first. Another example that can validate the station of this…

Tsukuru Tazaki is a builder. His name, meaning “to make” and his profession as an engineer is indicative of that. Though Tsukuru’s name is in absolute correlation with himself, he experiences an overwhelming discontent associated with his name, a discontent attributed to the fact his name is not a color. Tsukuru believes he is colorless, empty, meaningless, while his cohort of high school friends, each graced with a name of color, depict genuine meaning and purpose for existence. When said…
