that his fiance is being put to death by his father. In contrast, “Love!--[is a power which] wrench[es] the minds of the righteous into outrage, [swerving] them to their ruin” (Sophocles 887-889). This juxtaposition of love as the dark yin and then as the light yang shows exactly how a force so strong can change a person and go to two different extremes. Antigone and Haemon’s love which was once a blissful feeling has made Haemon outraged and erratic, leading to his inevitable downfall. As a…

Some may question the result of a union of such operational differences, but as representative of the ancient Chinese yin and yang concept of two halves joined to create wholeness, the combined talent, performance, service, professionalism, creativity, and innovation of the Yinscape and Yanngsearch workforce will be complementary to our vision. This vision includes leading…

While both face oppression – gender and race are perceived as two distinctly different social castes. Sally Haslager states, “The key point for us is that oppression comes in different forms, and even if one is privileged in one dimensions (e.g. in income or respect), one might be oppressed in others” (140, Haslanger). Haslager makes a distinct claim here: there is a pecking order to oppression and that some people face more cruelty than others. This is undoubtedly true; people can and often…

A safe home is everyone’s desire, but not in store for everyone. Syrian refugees have emerged as one of the global problems today. The plan to give homes to ten thousand refugees by U.S. President, Obama is now a big question. The recent attack in Paris has further complicated this plan. Moreover, this attack also signals threats to America. But, when it comes to the humanity, the U.S. has always been there to help people. And, this time too, the U.S should not back down to placate the burning…

What we take into our bodies has the power to heal and even regain yin-yang balance within. Traditional Chinese Medicine designates four uses for food: diet, medicine, tonic, and abstention.

she just makes some bad choices because she 's in a very difficult situation (“One Huge Change In The 'Frozen ' Storyline Helped Make It A Billion-Dollar Movie”). The way Disney chose to portray Anna and Elsa worked out.

To have a voice is to have a distinct identity and an expressible sense of self. This singularity is influenced by a number of factors, particularly culture. In Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club, Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters struggle to discover this voice amidst the societal norms imposed upon them. M. Marie Booth Foster proposes, “These feelings often are a result of male domination” (1). Chinese society is androcentric, ruled by males and masculine values. Women are…

Contrast is to compare in order to show unlike news or differences. Whether two people have different morals, opinions, manners, or ways of life the outcome from the differences can vary. People 's relationships could either become weaker or stronger due to differences. There are no two people that are completely alike, there will always be little things that will not make them similar. Differences can either separate or unite people, it all depends on each person’s personality.…

beginning of mankind growth in to the whole. Can good exist without evil, can we somehow get rid of the evil that plagues us all. I believe that we can’t that Evil cannot exist without good simply because they are the fabric of existence, just like yin and yang, two sides of the same coin. If you truly believe that there is evil in the world, then you must believe that there is good in the world as well. We can’t know what is wrong unless we know what is right. We can’t know a crooked line…
