Vagueness

to most post modernist literary texts, Home is satirical, vague and open-ended. The novel is in a full circle and assumes post modernist outlook in its open ending though Manju Kapur has shown Nisha arriving at a crucial turn in her life. But the vagueness arises from a embarrassment of questions that occur in readers’ intellect despite the so-called ‘joyful ending’ of the story. Questions like how possibly will Nisha give up her business so simply? What occur to Nisha’s…

States”). Anti-cyberbullying laws and anti-harassment policies are both vulnerable to constitutional challenge based on vagueness. They can also suffer from overbreadth because they forbid protected speech as well as unprotected speech. “While 43 states have anti-bullying statutes, only 21 prohibit cyberbullying”(Anti-Cyberbullying Legislation). And so because of their vagueness and overbreadth, it is likely that many anti-bullying statutes will suffer the same fate as most anti-harassment…

but empty. As we approach Kane’s deathbed, shots of falling snow is superimposed upon images of Kane and the snowglobe. The viewer can’t tell if the snow is the snow inside the globe, or if the snow is Kane’s last thought before he passes. This vagueness between literality…

The core of my paper will be to analyze the complex relationship between Kant's Transcendental Realism. I will begin by analyzing how Kant paved the way for phenomenological thinking. I will hope to show how the various key concepts of Kant's philosophy paved the way for phenomenological thinking. This includes the Copernican turn, the antinomies and Kant's denial of dogmatic metaphysics. I will argue that Kant effectively paved the way for phenomenology by claiming that the phenomenal realm is…

what truth and what war she is discussing is never exactly specified, leaving ample room for interpretation. The play has been written in a way that leaves it full of potential and with few limitations, if any. This is achieved through a particular vagueness in regards to which war it is referencing, a deeper message in the monument itself, and an in depth look into both sides of the conflict. Through this, the play takes on an almost unnatural ability to be contextualized into any war and…

The Constitution established America’s national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens.The Constitution divides the federal powers between three main branches defined by the separation of powers doctrine and provides a system of checks and balances to prevent one branch from overpowering the other branches. It delegates certain responsibilities to federal bodies and others to states. The constitution provides a government for the people, a…

someone who is bald and who is not. The concept of being bald is just like the concept of a heap. A ‘heap’ is defined as a collection of things piled up haphazardly. While this definition makes sense, having no qualitative value to ‘heap’ allows for vagueness in definition between individuals. Just like a heap, being bald is vague which allows for people…

The First Amendment forbids the abridgment only of "speech," but it 's been long recognized by the supreme court that its protection does not end at the spoken or written word. The question in the case of Professor Duane will be whether a particular conduct possesses sufficient communicative elements to bring the First Amendment into play, meaning, is there an intent to convey a particularized message with a likelihood that the message would be understood by those who view it. The argument could…

system by acting in a fraudulent manner. The intention of the law is to create a fair and just process of incorporation as evident in both judicial decisions and statutory provisions. However, with this principle of separate legal status comes some vagueness and ambiguity, making it vital to take the facts of each case on its…

The puzzle of the Sea Battle ultimately functions as a counterexample or exception to the principle of bivalence. The problem is as follows: suppose somebody states the following proposition, “There will be a Sea Battle tomorrow.” According to bivalence, this proposition must either be true or false. For, if it were to lack a truth-value, there is a logical gap, and if it’s both true and false, there lies a contradiction. By denying a truth-value to the proposition, one denies bivalence, but…
