Simon, in his book, introduced six sexual lenses that we could use in order to identify and understand the sexual tendency of current culture. In this chapter, he identified "Covenantal Lens," "Procreative Lens," "Romantic Lens," "Plain Sex Lens," "Power Lens," and finally, "Expressive Lens." I believe that it is very hard for us to find a single lens to identify the sexual tendency of the pop culture as many of these lenses are intertwined and progressive to one another. I believe, however,…

Newspaper king Charles Foster Kane, is dead. The gap shots show Xanadu, Kane's monumental, rich, and currently matted estate in Everglade State. Interspersed with segments of his short subject necrology are scenes from his life and death. Most puzzling are his last moments: clutching a snowglobe, he mutters the word "rosebud." Kane, whose life was news and whose newspapers not solely reportable however fashioned opinion, was central to his time, a heroic figure. The short subject editor feels…

Kant’s distinction between the beautiful and the sublime is very similar to the division Nietzsche makes between the Apollonian and Dionysian tendencies in art. They both claim that there are aesthetic experiences that are oriented towards a form or rational ideal (Nietzsche believes this ideal to be a dream), but there are also aesthetic experiences that expose man to limitlessness and formlessness. However, Kant and Nietzsche are not going to agree on what an aesthetic experience of the…

These tendencies can involve criminal activities such as “a killing, battering, stealing, manslaughter and illegal paraphernalia (Bohm & Haley (n.d).

The motivating question for the Quinlan & Quinlan article is how does child development associate with parenting practices that in turn may develop cultural patterns related to insecurity and aggression? When there is often environmental risk parents respond by adjusting their behaviors. If not able to reduce or eliminate these risk the parents may focus more on mating rather than parenting.

activities and social outcomes. However, constrained or very low resources and low ranks tend to create the lower class for individuals (Griffin and Hargis 21). I also agree that lower ranks in the society tend to supplement contextualized tendencies. These tendencies create social forces that allow the control of life outcomes of certain individuals (Kraus, Piff, Mendoza-Denton, Rheinschmidt, and Keltner 551). Abundant resources, on the other hand, may create upper social ranks that supplement…
