James Joyce's "Araby" is about an unnamed narrator who remembers the days of his youth and tells the story of his first love. North Richmond Street is where the narrator would grow up and develop feelings for one of his friend's sister, who is also an unnamed character in the story. The narrator explains how he would spend much of his time thinking about his crush, thinking about her in the most unlikely of times and places. One day, the narrator presses himself to talk to his lost interest,…

of clicks later, I discovered the test was not developed by Oxford University at all, but by L. Ron Hubbard followers Julian Lewis and Ray Kemp in the 1950s. Rubbished by many psychology organisations as manipulative and unethical, the Oxford Capacity Analysis is not even scientifically recognised. Phew, I guess. From all reports, the test usually produces a disturbing negative assessment. L. Ron Hubbard advocated reinforcing the “ruin” of the subject’s personality, followed by advice on…

Once L.Ron Hubbard gained a sense of trust with people he took the ball and ran with it. In others, he became innovating much different from Wovoka’s legit causes to help the Paiute people; L.Ron Hubbard was after the member's pockets. The Church of Scientology made people undergo Auditing to achieve becoming clear. Auditing is expensive for what it is, as it is an Electropsychometer that is able to show the small increments in the electrical resistance of a person. An individual would hold two…

Comparison of Scientologists and Manichaeans A constant through much of the known history of human civilization has been the attempt to understand and explain the unknown. This ranges from what lies underground to the vastness of the universe that lies behind the sky and even explores how the world came to be as well as what happens after a person dies. A common explanation for these questions have been rooted in different religions throughout time and different regions of the world.…

The “whys of conformity” demonstrate why the Church of Scientology has been so successful in gaining new members and keeping indoctrinated members. Specifically, they help explain why people are motivated to conform to the church’s ideals. The group locomotive hypothesis, consistency theory, and the hedonistic hypothesis provide reasoning to understand how the church gains and keeps its members. I will examine how each of these theories/hypotheses play a role in “Going Clear”. The group…

United States, therefore if Scientology is not found as a religion it should then lose its tax exemption once again. This grey line could be eliminated if religion was taxed in the separation of church and state. Scientology was created by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer, in the 1950s. The Church of Scientology has a substantial amount of science base…

The Church of Scientology considers itself to be a religion due to its focus on the human soul and the awareness of the spirit. Scientologists believe in a God or something like a god, but they do not offer a doctrine or any details to support it. L. Ron Hubbard founded Scientology and he noted the importance of the belief in a “Supreme Being” to all humanity. “God is, therefore, the Eighth Dynamic, which is also known as Infinity. Scientologists who progress to the Eighth Dynamic come to their…

Women in the 19th century were seldom independent as gender equality was absent. Independence can be defined as the unwillingness to adhere to the husband’s desire. In Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House, Ibsen delves into Nora’s journey toward independence as a result from the inconveniences of her seemingly carefree relationship with Torvald. Torvald’s inconsiderate and hurtful criticism toward Nora acts as a stepping-stone toward her independence. Additionally, the revelation of Torvald’s…

James Joyce, in his genius, cleverly placed food and drink throughout his short stories in his collection Dubliners. Despite how subtle and meaningless they may seem, they have a very specific meaning and were deliberate, that is, they were a way of giving the story much more meaning through one of the three themes of the entire collection: paralysis, gnomon, and simony, express his character’s situations into materialistic substances such as food, and communion, which aren’t exclusively in…

a glimmering future. The story is dark and dreary as it unfolds itself, drifting between memories and current time spinning around the mind of young Eveline, who longs for a world that she will not let herself be a part of. In “Eveline,” by James Joyce, though the character of Eveline wishes to escape the life she’s living, she is bound tightly by her abusive relationship with her father and a promise to her dead mother, as well as being overwhelmed by change and excitement, leaving her both…
