intention of this law, according to French legislators, was to keep France unified in terms of being secular, individualist, and homogeneous; the singularity of the nation was challenged by religion, a “private” matter, being present in the public sphere. Scott does not agree with this notion, claiming that this ban on “conspicuous signs” was more so an attack on Muslim women rather than just a mere means of maintaining singularity…

Kwasi Kwarteng, a former student at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he earned a Ph. D in British history has done extensive research in order to pen his book “Ghosts of Empire: Britain’s Legacies in the Modern World.” Fascinated with British colonial history, Kwarteng his written numerous articles on the subject. In one 2012 article, he discusses Nigeria’s modern day troubles faced due to its British colonial roots. Kwarteng (2012) writes that like its name, Nigeria was entirely artificially…

identical objects with both similar in size and shape. A’s theory induces the principle that the two objects could be statistically distinct, despite being identical. A describes how in this world with two spheres, with no measuring devices to differentiate between the two, the two spheres will be identical, therefore claiming that the principle is true. B’s responds to this argument, by visualizing a universe with the same two objects and allowing rulers in the equation. In this…

racism is more than prejudice. With dealing with racism the church calls for the use of The Spheres of Interaction. The first sphere explains that responding and dealing with racism must begin with really looking within ones self on the specific subject. Seeing where you stand on the issue at hand. The second sphere deals with moving from personal and self awareness to the public awareness. Finally the third sphere finishes off with making a commitment to effect the social policy. “To ignore…

Astrolabes, an analysis in Islamic context Astronomical instruments from the ancient world were generally built upon various mathematical principles and hold much sophistication in their use and form. Back then, these instruments held much significance and were countlessly used in day-to-day life, since much of day-to-day life revolved around the sky and cosmos. One such instrument is the astrolabe. The astrolabe is an astronomical instrument that is considered to have originated from Ancient…

considered much more public than things like cooking and childrearing, and I’m left wondering if Golombisky’s separate spheres pervade the blogging world as well. Are women blogging in other niches more likely to face harassment? Are there even as many women bloggers beyond the “big three?” It seems entirely possible that Vivian and I, as women blogging, fail to see outside out own spheres and limit our conversations, without even…

creates an excessive deal of disability through the negligence of what most people need in order to participate in all aspects of the social sphere. Moreover, much of the public world is also structured as though all bodies are moulded the same, as though everyone could walk, hear, and see well, etc. The architecture, as well as the entire physical and social sphere assumes that we are able to do what the average, young, non-disabled ‘paradigm’ citizen can do or that we are…

concentric spheres constructed the cosmos, with a fixed and motionless earth at its center. The first eight of these held the planets and the stars, while the ninth and tenth allowed for the motion of the others. Aristotle believed that the perfect shape was a circle, so he asserted that each sphere must move circularly around the earth. In the Middle Ages, the idea of the Empyrean Heaven was introduced to the Ptolemaic Universe. This final portion existed beyond the tenth sphere and held…

the Americans’ desire for Manifest Destiny, or the expansion of the US into the western part of the US. Imperialism on the other hand, idealizes moral improvement and also saw more movement in foreign lands as the US saw a need for increasing its sphere of influence. Up to the late 19th century, the United States had generally followed the advice given by George Washington to not enter any alliances, and the Monroe Doctrine had pretty much…

cultural, social, and political spheres in Poland and used these intersections to protest the Communist regime. Originally the Orange Alternative was called “The New Culture Movement” composed mainly of the University of Wroclaw students and the students of the Fine Arts Academy as an organization meant to advocate for peace and aesthetics (Misztal, 58). Similar to the hippies of the West during the 1960’s and 1970’s, the NCM was a kind of artistic outsider to the sphere of protests. Jokingly…
