The Concept of Mind

I often think about the issue since I do not think I fit to the "socially accepted" binary concept and it definitely affects my identity. I regard myself as heterosexual and graysexual, which means that I am straight and rarely experience sexual attraction compared to "ordinary" people.

In order to find materials/supporting evidence for my topic, I looked mostly towards news articles and governmental reports for my statistics and data, while leaning more towards…

In his evaluation of Paulo Freire’s “The Banking Concept of Education,” Allen Kinser highlights the Marxist agenda in Freire’s writing. According to Kinser, Freire’s thesis is centered around what he identifies as the “banking” concept of education, which Kinser points out is simply representative of capitalism in society. He believes that this system establishes an oppressive relationship between the teacher and the student, which fosters complacency in students. This complacency halts…

the number of articles that is required for the assignment. For example, if the assignment states that 5 references are required, I will find 10 references related to the concept of the assignment. Bakhtiyari et al. (2014) states that it is important to read multiple articles to have the concept of context fixed in the reader’s mind. Lastly, once I have obtained the articles, I begin reviewing the research obtained to be sure that I have the strongest resources to support my ideas within the…

The work was begun by Freud in the 1880’s and by the end of 1890’s the theory worked more on the formal attributes within the formal stages.

Frederick Douglass was a slave while John Henry Newman was a scholar at Oxford. Through the experience of education, Douglass wrote the book named Narrative of the Life (1873). In his book, Newman views liberal education as an act of freeing of the mind. He said that liberal education frees the mind and broadens one's intellect of the different branches ok…

for the cause and effect. In any scenario we have choices to make which are either right or wrong. We control the outcomes of our actions, and the citizens of Hogwarts did as well. This poem is meant to enlighten the minds of English studies while helping us interpret what the minds of our ancestors thought was morally wrong and right during that time period. First off we are introduced into a kingdom that has contained mythical conflict for a lingering period of time. The view of it is…

Throughout early British literature the concept of war is a significant part of those first stories. The true definition of war is a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state. Although the true definition of war is seen as a physical act we also can see that it can happen internally in a person’s mind or within their emotions. War can also be infectious, it can sometimes creep into all parts of a person both internal and externally.…

Kant proposes a distinction between the two in the extract (A50-52/B74-76) where he explores the ‘fundamental sources in the mind’; the first being ‘reception of representations’ and the second, ‘the faculty for cognizing an object by means of these representations’. The former of these is sensibility whilst the latter is spontaneity of concepts or understanding. Sensibility is intuition that connects the noumenal world to the phenomenal world through our senses.
