Randomness

Imagine that everyone experienced a time in their life that is so complex and so random that it was equally complex and random to theorize. This fundamental idea begins to explain emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood is a time period where there is no established paradigm or conflict that needs to be resolved and it is quite different for every individual (Arnett). Arnett defines the age range between 18 through 25 as a period where individuals find themselves experimenting and exploring many…

Plato’s Approach to Education Plato’s Pedagogy as Derived From Republic 1-7 Plato’s Republic is mainly known for the defining of justice, but it also provides an element of education, mainly in the field of philosophy. There are many different specific aspects of teaching within Republic, including the use of Plato’s physical images versus the concept of forms, the idea of intentional and random education, and the cave allegory. Plato’s teaching is very intentional, and he has a high skill level…

Chapter 23: “It’s Never Just Heart Disease…and Rarely Just Illness” • Heart disease in literature is metaphorical and lyrical • The heart has been the symbolic source of emotion since ancient times • Homer has characters describe other characters as having “a heart of iron” to mean that that character is hard-hearted or tough-minded • All great writers use the heart as a center of emotion • Writers use it because readers feel emotion in their hearts • Writers can use heart ailments as a way to…

Blackboard Assignment 3 In 1791, the States ratified the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution about the right of an individual to own and use firearms. Second Amendment stresses the individual’s right to own firearms to protect personal liberty, safety, or property. However, individuals are also members of a community and those who do not own firearms have the right to live without fear of unprovoked gun violence or other consequences of irresponsible gun ownership. We may face many…

Space-time is like a mirror. Nothing exists in the mirror, but mirror can manifest everything at all its points. However, any given point of a mirror can project only one entity to any given observer. No observer can see a point of mirror projecting more than one entity, but another observer located at a different angle will see a different entity at the same point. A mirror can manifest different physical entities at the same point, but not to the same observer. Space-time remains unaffected by…

William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is his most famous comedy, second only to A Comedy of Errors. Readers are commonly drawn to its dream-like quality and its many references to dreams. Shakespeare, a master of metaphor, emphasizes the fluid nature of reality in his use of the sky. While it is tempting to analyze Shakespeare’s references to individual aspects of the sky (e.g., the moon), Shakespeare alludes to so many features of the sky or the heavens, that it becomes apparent that…

A little disclaimer: I am not good in reflecting, and putting into words my supposed reflection and reactions about ideas or life in general. First of all, how do I reflect or react about a book that has a mutated green apple—assuming it is mutated, as its insides are that of an orange—for its cover? Ultimately, I judge books (literally books, not people) by its cover. The cover of Freakonomics looks quite complicated to me no matter how simple it looked, and led me to the conclusion that the…

In this stage children are creating marks with no meaning, it is simply for the kinesthetic activity of drawing. Towards the end of this stage children begin to give the marks names. The scribble stage also consist of two different stages, randomness which will be when the students color off the page in a swinging motion, and then they will enter the second stage and have more control and begin to use repetition in their marks. The importance of this stage involves students learning to express…

Popular culture, or Pop Art was a time when simple objects of everyday life were made into fine art, but more often Pop art is a statement on mass advertising and the customer culture after WWII. It also was a means to demonstrate against future conflicts as well. During the world’s recovery of WWII magazines and newspapers were full of advertisements of what to buy, and how the perfect house hold should look like. People tried to live above their means in order to fulfil what they thought they…

The inclination to engage in violence during the Storming of the Bastille was not an exception but the norm. Less than a month after this monumental event, peasants revolted, destroying a number of medieval documents and forcing feudalism to be abolished. The violence would continue on October 5, 1789 with the March on Versailles, which is perhaps one of the most shocking events of the revolution. Thousands of women marched on Versailles declaring their need for bread. Their anger was directed…
