The World State

This verse, pregnant with mystical symbolism, further expands the theme discussed in the preceding and the fourteenth verse of this granth. The said two verses speak of the transformation of the self from its base state to a state of true and perfect awareness, while this verse, using the metaphor of the metamorphosis of a larva into a fully-grown wasp, speaks of the extinction of the individual self and attainment of oneness and identification with the Nūr of the Satguru. It is a biological…

Traveling around the world is a luxurious experience that some wish; however the cost eliminates the yearning. In the article “How Millennials Are Changing Travel”, Amanda Machado argues that millennials should continue to travel despite the economic hardship. Through the usage of ethos, sentence structure, and conversational tone she conveys her audience. Machado constructs her argument using Aristotle's ethos strategy more so than logos or pathos. She gave an important background information…

have thrown out ideas of the “common good” and “human rights” that seem to elude societies all around the world. The common good refers to promoting a positive action that promotes society as a whole. Human rights refer to every human being, if they be wealth or poor to have the same rights as each other and that those rights can never be taken away, that every human soul is equal. In today’s world, we can see the struggles of trying to live together, that the civil rights movement is rising to…

On days off, I am busy traveling to other worlds. My morning starts with the the lapping waves of Homer’s wine-dark sea. At lunch, I picnic in the shady groves of Virgil’s Elysian fields, and in the afternoon, I watch the sun set in Orwell’s eerie dystopia. My desire to explore isn’t limited to literary universes, however. It runs deep into my academic pursuits, from humanities to science. I am drawn to Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences because it offers me the perfect environment to…

Solzhenitsyn’s “New Generation” wants us to understand that the nature of the universe is open to any possible thing. He addresses that the world changes when he talks about women. In Solzhenitsyn’s “new Generation,” he mentions “in only a few short years women have acquired personal freedom in their intimate lives-sexual liberation.” From this I understood that the world changes and the universe is open to it. The universe has no effect whether changes occur, therefore it is open to new things.…

The Deterrence Theory of Punishment is the theory that states that people will not break the law, or rules, because they are scared of getting caught and being punished. This means that people are less or more likely to commit a crime or do something they aren’t supposed to based on the level of punishment or outcome. The Deterrence Theory of Punishment relates to the Road because there are several parts in the book where this applies. For example, when they find the bodies in the basement, they…

As I was looking at my questions Soraya Romeu showed me a former image of Romeu’s parents and her, she explained how her parents along with her siblings assisted in her coming- of- age experiences especially when…

entered the end of the postmodern age where truth is replaced with emotion. If something so small as a criticism of one’s hands or fingers can send Trump into a never-ending obsessive tirade, what would happen if genuine Christians throughout the world went on a relentless campaign targeting Donald Trump as Satan incarnate? Again, consider his past reactions to trivial comments while imagining his response an international group of thousands, even millions, of people calling him, The Antichrist…

With every good deed that they committed there comes an equal evil action that accompanies it and evens it out in a universal law of equilibrium. “Do I dare to change the universe,” (Eliot line 51-52) shifting the world and cutting off this balance point? I would if it meant the world would be a better place to live in but I have this deep fear that I might…
