"The Origin of Species" and the "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" have a special relationship. Charles Darwin’s book opens up each chapter of Calpurnia Tate. For example Chapter 23 “The Fentress Fair”. “How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! How short his time! And consequently how poor will his products be, compared with those accumulated by nature. That means that man needs to enjoy life for what it is. Even with all the mistakes man needs to learn to accept that. Because man is not…

The term identity is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. Famous author, Nathaniel Hawthorne once said,“No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true” (367). This quote, from a well-known novel, The Scarlet Letter, brought to my attention the many identities people often create for the convenience of the people around them. This way, we as people can feel accepted or…

According to social psychology, a stereotype is a preshaped thought about a specific group or person, formed from previous encounters or perceptions. These thoughts involve assuming a person acts or looks a certain way depending on various factors, such as hair color and activities the person is involved in. According to psychologytoday.com, on “Where Bias Begins: The Truth About Stereotypes,” John Bargh, Ph.D., of New York University, suggests that stereotypes are created “from what social…

example of portraiture. At first glance this may not seem like the conventional portrait because it isn’t a realistic depiction of a person. It may be of a specific person but it may also be an idealized rendering of the female body. Venus of Willendorf is a sculpture made of limestone; the fact that it’s a sculpture shows that the curves and roundness of the person depicted was important to the artist because a three dimensional piece…

to be there for that person for any support they need. To figure out what happened with the person that you are trying to effectively cheer up, you need to ask what’s going on but don’t go straight into it, easy up to the subject because maybe it’s hard on the person to tell other people what’s going on in their life. Go through each step slow and steady without being direct, after you give them a pep talk, a guide in what’s okay or not okay. After you tell the one person what they need to…

who is super focused on what makes up a person (personality-wise), rather than appearance. However, I know that the ‘attractiveness stereotype’ is valid. I know it’s perpetuated in the media (like the cliché bullies in movies always being attractive, but people still liking them regardless, just because they are good looking), but there also is a basis in real life, as well. Especially when it comes to people trying to find a partner- as long as the person they’re after, or already with, is…

people try to do it and realize how difficult can be to imitate the action. When we imitate someone’s moves, we watch the person’s movements closely. However, we do not copy these movements. People use the movements to find something in the mind of the person that they are watching, which is the goal of the movement. Then people imitate them by making similar movements achieves the goal (“imitation give…

Heraclitus taught me about the value of understanding and how important it can be. I also have changed my perspective on change and have come to value many things through understanding the nature of change. His idea of opposites being one is a very unorthodox philosophy, but makes a lot of sense. And lastly his thoughts on what happens to the soul after death are refreshingly different. To begin with, his distinction between knowledge and understanding resonates with me. A man can have great…

not meet the standards of today’s society that it is still possible to be defined as great. As the audience can see and hear in the video, they come to a realization that there is someone running. It is not noticeable who it is considering that the person is way far back but as the runner gets closer it is a middle aged boy who is a little overweight. He is pushing himself to be better, showing that “greatness is not some rare DNA strand” (“Greatness”00:35-00:39). His struggle is motivating and…

Everyone will encounter many difficulties, the problem is to stick to it or give up. Many people will choose to give up. If people choose to give up, other person will ridicule them. However, if people do not give up to do it, but they still are fail and they will be respected by other people. It is very easy to start to do something, such as doing a job; learning a skill; try a sport, and so on. But over time, people will feel is very hard to do anything. I believe that a significant…
