IV: Rebuttals to my Characterisation of Reclamation In the above, I have created a model to represent to sociological phenomena of the reclamation of slurs. I have given an example how we can see this mechanism at work with respect to the word queer. Though this provides evidence in support of my thesis the question arises as to what measure should be used to more so test the effectiveness of the model. What should be considered and how can my thesis best be supported? The model which I have…

William Golding’s novel The Lord of the Flies explores many themes such as the dark side of human nature, allegiances, and how these boys mirror larger society. I feel as if the producers of the popular television show “Survivor” used this novel as the framework of their show. Both Golding’s novel and the show have many similarities. When the show “Survivor” premiered, I immediately thought of the novel The Lord of the Flies. The novel is about a group of schoolboys who are shipwrecked on a…

women and the fetishism of Mexican women. These statements said by the president elect have a horizontal pull of hysteria, hatred, and anger. He went further with his statement and not only criminalizes Mexican men but also women. This takes away any power that Mexican people had which further the negative stigma created by collective memory. The second ideograph is the negative stigma that is placed on disabled bodies. Disabled bodies are seen as less capable and sub human (“Open Your Eyes”…

the series progresses the power fantasy of Walter White can become dangerous. Walter’s power fantasy becomes dangerous once he begins to use that power on people who are also powerless. Walter bullies and intimidates his wife, poisons a small child, does nothing as a drug addict over doses, manipulates Jesse Pinkman his longtime partner into murdering a man, and ultimately is the reason Jesse winds up becoming enslaved by a white supremacy group. From these abuses of power let us examine…

“When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” President Ronald Reagan’s advice rang true as he spoke for the masses at a conference in 1984. Through the power of this speech, Reagan demonstrates that people will go to extensive lengths to be heard and make change. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, this very principle is demonstrated as once innocent schoolboys turn to savages in an attempt to rule and conquer their peers. Golding parallels the state of a conch found…

and when there is such irresponsibly, it becomes total chaos and uncivilization. When a group of completely different boys fall upon a deserted island, they all fall into different roles as the tyrant, victim, and responsible one. Victimization, power, and fear can account for all of the evil deeds that occur in mankind. Piggy is very smart, and such intelligence sparks multiple people to envy him, so due to Jack and Roger’s greed,…

(). Piggy is depicted as not physically fit, unable to keep up with the other boys, and very insightful with his view. His die hard allegiance to Ralph shows the clichéd idea that smart people will not take authority but bow down and aid those in power. In addition, the highly stereotypical premise of Lord of the Flies also fulfills the requirement for a classical man character. This character is played into the depiction of Ralph and shown very vividly, "Ralph sat on a fallen trunk, his left…

theory, human consciousness, language, power, and even the meaning of existence. Nietzsche believed that as humans we fundamentally want power and always attempt to inflict our will upon others. He believed to live the good life we must affirm our instincts to acquire power and dominance over others and things in our life. Living the good life and lasting satisfaction and pleasure result from being able to live and accept our instincts, exerting our will to power.…

lot of power “has the ability or potential to do a lot of work in a short amount of time” (p 214). Just like a machine, a person with power has the potential to influence others. However, it does not mean you are guaranteed to gain the desired outcome. Nevertheless, it is necessary to build bases of power in order to have a greater chance of influencing another party. Power is broken up into six subcategories: reward, coercive, legitimate, information, expert, and referent. The key power that…

So we see that from the very beginning Nietzsche frames the Genealogy of Morals in the light of his worries concerning the self-awareness of those supposed to be the “learned ones”. In this, genealogy’s positive aspect emerges, as we can appreciate how Nietzsche’s work is driven by the desire of presenting these men of knowledge with their lack of self-awareness, as well as with the tool to overcome it. In this respect, my understanding is that the “beehives of our knowledge” are an image and…
