In Dorothy Allison’s “This is Our World”, Allison describes how art has had such an impact on the way that she views different aspects of life. She started her essay by describing a Jesus mural behind a baptismal at a Baptist church when she was only seven years old. The mural became a very important piece of work to her and it allowed her to view art in a different way. Allison uses very descriptive language when it comes to explaining art. Later in her life she compared writing to art. In her…

Contact between different areas of the world is both beneficial and disastrous to the people and regions involved. Relative isolation allowed civilization in the New World to flourish, but imperialism in Europe threatened everything that had been established. When Europeans arrived in the New World and interacted with the natives, catastrophic diseases decimated the population, foods and plants were transported all over the world, animals were introduced and domesticated for their helpful…

The topic of what exactly constitutes a World Religion is one mired in controversy due to the label being a typology which divides religious traditions into categories that some criticize as being non-inclusive of traditions that do not meet the established criteria--mislabeling them as something other than a religion.

There is a better way though, world…

After viewing World on Fire, reading chapter 9 and reflecting on my own life I truly comprehend how where we live makes a difference. Where we live shapes the lives we lead in relation to technology and access to education. In the United States, we are one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, and in many low-income countries there is little to no advancement in technology. This is mostly due to the high importance placed on cultural tradition in many of these countries…

depict aliens as semi-human, imperialistic intellects who, despite their technological advancements over human beings, are still inferior. The majority of science fiction novels depicting aliens have them arrive unannounced, H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, for example, (presumably looking for resources that they lack on their home planet) with tools of destruction, progressing the plot when they decimate the Earth, as seen in Robert Emmerich’s Independence Day. The aliens arrive and wage war on…

The Gallup World Poll, created in 2005, tracks the world’s most important issues by conducting studies worldwide that include 99% of the adult population. Some of the issues, for example, include “food access, employment, leadership performance, and well-being”(Gallup). The survey used consists of 100 questions, which are mostly global-based, but some “region-specific” questions. The same questions are asked for every country so statisticians can compare the data in each country every year.…

distinction between human senses and reality became clearer. John Donne’s Good Morrow, as well as Margaret Cavendish’s book, The Blazing World, both, discuss nature through battles between reality and the wild perceptions of humans. The Good Morrow demonstrates the human perception of the world through the imaginary telescope of love and sex. The Blazing World demonstrates the struggle to revolutionize scientific methods with particularly the invention of a physical telescope, against remediate…
