Rationalization

massive as native american efforts to revitalize the language in the United States, efforts are being made in a smaller scale in Oaxaca, Mexico and in California. One of the problems that the Zapotec communities in the United states face is the rationalization of Mexican immigrants as one ethnic group. It becomes complicated to know what specific communities of Zapoteco speakers are coming from because of the racialization process that takes place and the assumption that all brown people…

In the fragment about the education of the guardians of the second book of the Republic, Plato argues that the stories narrated by the poets lack any moral substance. The problem with these stories is that they do not transmit the truth, but shadows of the truth. This premise is based on Plato’s theory about the mimetic nature of the poetic art. For Plato, the art of poetry is the result of a process of mimesis which consists in imitating the appearances of ultimate reality, but not reality…

Humans innately need each other. There is an almost infinite amount of reasons to rely on someone else: to love, to hate, to love to hate, to get something, to boost our own egos, and pretty much any combination of these. Personally, I’ve been known to use people for utilitarian purposes, but like anyone else, I have had a number of close friends. And these friends, my accomplices, have adopted my mannerisms as I have adopted theirs. These people have formed my current self and continue to mold…

Relativism vs Christianity Relativism shuns the notion of absolute truth. Because there is no absolute truth, anything and everything is true or not true only to those who choose to believe or disbelieve it. In other words “truth may be true for one but not for another since everyone has different interpretations based on different human conditions” (Christian Part one 6). This creates problems because if everything is relative, then so are morals. The morals of relativism are severely warped.…

Secularization refers to the transformation of a society from close identification with religious values toward non-religious values. It refers to the belief that as societies progress, particularly through modernization and rationalization, religion loses its authority in all aspects of social life and governance. Stark provides many pieces of evidence that disagree with the theory of secularization. He believes that secularization is an exaggeration that has been passed over the years - a…

against this by shouting out on about how admirable and awe-inspiring their mother is. In my opinion, I would like to argue we fight for our mums in the midst of a crowded yet empty void is because they are the person we first learn to love. This rationalization can be justified because they are who holds us in their arms no matter what we were responsible for. My mum was born on the 23rd of August, 1966 – the…

Deserved or Corrupt? The Nobel Peace Prize has always been a respected and dignified award. It is often presented to renowned figures that have helped to shape worldwide communications today. By presenting this award to undeserving figures such as Barack Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize has been seriously undermined of its credibility and prestige. Both Tom Toles and Michael Binyon excellently explain and criticize this absurd handout through their rhetoric arguments. Their logic and argumentation…

Accounting is a function of economics, measurement error, and bias (Baginski, Bradshaw, & Wahlen, 2015). There is a gray area regarding management and ethics. Often managers have different opinions of what is ethical and unethical, particularly with manager earnings. For example, a manager thinks shipping early to reach…
