Reciprocity

One of the key virtues in Confucianism, humaneness, takes form in this passage from the Analects as a comparison to the wise. Confucianism relies on the virtues of humaneness, ritual propriety, loyalty, filial piety, and reciprocity as a set of guidelines in which to live a life of righteousness. Above all of these virtues is humaneness. A few questions are surely to arise when reading the passage above. For example, why is wisdom being compared with humaneness? What does it mean for the…

aspects. Religious discrimination can cause unending conflict (Fox, 2016). Discrimination in this context involves subordination and exclusion leading to humiliation. Most religions such as Judaism and Christianity are based on the teachings of reciprocity and tolerance (Fox, 2016). But some faiths have assigned some ethic to their religion which only applies to their believers hence casting out non-believers. The Islamic State better known as ISIS have discriminated against other religions in…

Social Class Connections For many years the social system has seemed as if though there were only three different classes to it with huge differences between the highest and lowest affluent or SES (socioeconomic status) populations. The previous simple observation of the classes when approached from different angles and deeper research, as in Paul Fussell, Suniya Luthar, Lars Eighner and Paul Piff along with his colleagues’ articles, is proven to be permissible. The authors collectively have…

Is there a moral difference between male and female prostitution? I believe that there is not a moral difference, and both male and female prostitution is morally wrong even if the circumstances are that everyone involved is 18 years of age, it is not a form of slavery, and that there is no more duress than most people encounter in difficult lives. To defend my position, I will use the Kantianism to respect people at all times. Throughout my argument, I will focus on the principles and morals…

In spite of the consensus among historians that James VI. of Scotland, later on also James I. of England, was one of the strongest proponents of absolutism, there remains disagreement over the question whether James’ reign can be classified as tyranny. Arguably, reasonable…

action—characterized by inappropriate reaching and grasping—while maintaining intact perception; meanwhile visual agnosia results in impaired perception, while maintaining intact action. As aforementioned the two visual stream deficits are characterized by reciprocity of impairment; functioning in one deficit that the other is impaired in—and vice versa. Therefore, “the reciprocal patterns of impairment found in optic ataxia and in visual agnosia have been considered as a functional…

Question 1: The frame narrator has heard Marlow’s stories before. How does he set up the reader’s expectations about Marlow’s narration? (To keep your answers within the word limit, choose one example to comment on). The frame narrator foregrounds Marlow’s atypical perspective of meaning, commenting, “[to Marlow] the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel, but outside enveloping the tale” (6). This passage is foundational in directing readers’ expectations, foreshadowing Marlow’s…
