Shakespeare’s King Lear endorses the obsession for human societal acceptance and the importance of a role model to establish a characters identity. Parents, their parents, and their grandparent’s parents have impacted their children’s life more than that child actually realizes. Past and present generations are cohesive and the nurturing values implemented in the past are shared throughout their lineage. It becomes a tradition in certain families. This means childhood from the very beginning is,…

A New Perspective On Africa “The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to.”- Rich Mullins The continent of Africa is one of the most under recognized and under appreciated gems of the world. In the past, the continent of Africa was seen as barbaric and hopelessly primitive. Many believe the media propaganda that this continent is impoverished and under populated. By taking a deeper look at some often under-represented aspects of this…

Hegel’s philosophy of history incorporates his reasoning of how world history exists within the realm of the Spirit. He explores the actions of men and women, and concludes that they are driven by the Spirit. “Hence it is of interest, in the course of history, to learn to know spiritual nature in its existence, that is, the point where Spirit and Nature unite, namely, human nature” (Hartman). Hegel goes on to explain the purpose of human activity by using great men in world history and what…

In the chapter “Lordship and Bondage”, Hegel uses a biblical reference to explain the action of self-consciousness as relations between master and servant. Hegel’s theory of self-consciousness rests on the notion that only in recognizing the awareness of the other to one’s own otherness can self-consciousness be achieved. The essence of the dialectic is a mutually acting and affecting, codependent relationship between master and servant that is, however, asymmetrical. The essential nature of the…

German Philosopher, Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, believed Antigone was an unrivaled example to support his claim on tragic collisions: stating that there isn't a tragic hero, only a collision between two who are equally right in their own standards. Antigone and Creon both had justified views in this play written by Sophocles— Antigone focusing more of lawful ethics and the Creon based more on family morals. This does, indeed, support Hegel's theory of a tragic collision, but only to an extent to…

Meanwhile, Karl Marx and Hegel can offer concepts of difficulties related to economic, cultural and environmental adjustment, and ambivalent experiences which can mimic/resemble the challenges experienced by skilled immigrant families; through Marxian and Hegelian eyes, there is this-an indivisible link between globalization and skilled immigrants as skilled immigrants are dependent on globalization to that combined are a source of profiteering. Also, Mitchell (2012) deals with the main ideals…

To denounce people that everything cannot continuously be fortunate for them and, if it is, someone else is always suffering, Jared Diamond explains in the article “How We Live with Each Other and With the World.” Humans need to be more open minded to other people’s viewpoints. Each and every day us as humans face difficult struggles between cherished ethics such as equivalence, freedom, autonomy, and impartiality. “Using lethal insecticides to kill “pests” has huge consequences up the food…

Hegel therefore believes that the Kantian antinomies therefore have to be replaced with a syllogism that does not depend on transcendental idealism. Rather than viewing the unconditioned as provided by reason as an extension subservient to the categories of the understanding, Hegel proposes that both, by themselves are inadequate. He proposes instead that they neither have truth in themselves and that only through the understanding's and reason's sublation and their manifestation as concrete,…

3.2 Philosophy of Research Inquiry At present, research on the studied phenomenon are empirical. This involves gathering data from a random or selected panel of experts, which a Delphi study facilitates. According to Mitroff and Turoff (1975) the epistemological positions of the researcher influences the respondent s’ answers to the Delphi questionnaire. An argument supported by Churchman (1971) who reported on the various philosophical perspectives of a Delphi study (Tapio et al., 2011, p.1626)…
