Bakhtin is cited to lend prestige and weight to the theoretical sphere of…

RELEVANCE OF MAHABHARAT IN PRESENT TIMES Mahabharata, written by Maharishi Ved Vyas, is one of the two great epics of ancient India. It is one of the greatest stories ever told and is undoubtedly one of the most vast, vivid and detailed epics of the world. It is not a story, it is not a poem not even an epic but rather a philosophy about humans, the evolution of their thought process and the battles of their interests. The account holds true and relevant even in current times. It is said that…

To place the army, capitalists, and beurocracy of the state and party all together on a parallel plane of existence is a weakness in his arguments. Capitalists, as we discuss in this class, are a different breed altogether from other actors of ideology. They make up an economic class, whereas the others are social groups that either adhere…

The theme of fear and paranoia presented in Waiting for the Barbarians, by J.M. Coetzee, apparent in the white population of the frontier town, lies in the ever present idea that black people are inherently evil and should be avoided at all times. This idea presented by Coetzee, stems from the similar mentality present in what was then, current day South Africa. It can be proved that this idea was merely formed from paranoia, with little substantial evidence to prove the dark side of the black…

284. The happiness of a nation is the “aggregate happiness” of its happy people, which are mutually inclusive. One might postulate that effective leadership, good governance, and hospitable ecological living conditions, are factors that contribute to a high national “Happiness Index” (HI). 285. Nations measure Gross National Product (GNP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP)…

The message is that God has forgiven His people and that He will keep His promise and covenants that He has established with them. God sees Israel as the one who has suffered rather than focusing on their punishment. Eddinger says that this is a parallel to the Exodus, and in a similar way, He is preparing a new Exodus for Israel. In other words, God is a God of mercy and love that He shows to His people as His has promised to…

The general human perception holds that personal behavior is under the guidance of moral reasoning. That is the reason people refer to individual behavior as immoral, it is different from the conventional moral. Psychologists have been making moral evaluations and moral inferences to establish the psychological facts on moral reasoning. However, a common thing in their studies is the need to develop one theory on moral reasoning processes. The journal article begins by making an explanation of…

Morley draws parallels with the “regnavi” position as Vera laments that ‘after the sunshine cometh the rain’ (129). Her use of the past tense to speak of any and all happiness reflects the position of “I have reigned”. Her movement past the zenith of Fortune is clearly expressed and, as she hurtles towards the “I am without reign” position, she postulates that ‘when I am old, I can think of the time when I was loved and wooed’ (113)…
