- 3751: Cultural Differences Between Americans and Spaniards
- Cultural Differences Between Americans and Spaniards As a U.S. Navy veteran, I have seen countless differences between the American culture and other countries’ cultural differences while being deployed overseas. By far one of the most interesting to me was revealed during a seven month ... because I was very reluctant to step foot out of an air conditioned space during those hot summer days in Spain. Among Spaniards and Americans alike, I’ve also realized another important fact; the body’s natural desire to shutdown after the noon meal. It wouldn’t be unbelievable to assume that a normal body function and Spain’s oppressive heat coupled together created a sound basis for normal everyday life. Our American west is no different; from 10:00am- 2: ...
- 3752: UFOs Exist
- UFOs Exist Mr. Lowery English 12, Section 2542-06 Does life outside earth exist? Are UFO's really from outer space? Many people in the world today do believe in UFO's. "About half of the adult population do believe that UFOs are out there in space"(Ritchie 22). There are basically two sides to the matter. The first is that UFOs are hoaxes and don't exist at all, and the other is that they do exist and come from somewhere in outer space. Government cover-ups have been used to keep the secrets of UFOs under wraps throughout history, ...
- 3753: The Nature Of Man In Lord Of T
- ... that thrives on order, necessity and unity. Slowly, however, the peaceful society that they create shatters through a path of hatred, disrespect, murder and the release of the true human soul. Many of William Golding's works discusses man's capacity for fear and cowardice. Golding wished to show that fear is an emotion that is instinctive and active in humans from the very beginnings of their lives. This revelation uncovers another weakness in man, supporting Golding's belief that beneath the coat of civility lies the hidden human passion, savagery and an almost animal-like cruelty. Throughout the novel, there is a constant struggle for power between two groups and the ...
- 3754: Sociopolitical Philosophy in the Works of Stoker and Yeats
- ... the Catholics, which threatened their land and political power. Two Irish authors of the period, Bram Stoker and William Butler Yeats, offer their views on this “problem” in their works of fiction. These include Stoker's Dracula and Yeats' On Baile's Strand and The Only Jealousy of Emer, and these works show the authors' differences in ideas on how to deal with this threat to civilization. Stoker feels that triumph over this threat can only be ... organized resourceful. Stoker makes sure to give the reader this impression of his protagonist as a rational individual because it is he who will later combat the savage forces with common sense and logic. Harker's detailed account of his journey into Transylvania shows the contrast between the West and the East. As he travels farther east, the land becomes more primitive and wild. As he writes in his journal, “ ...
- 3755: How Society Effects Human Natu
- ... evil coexists in the society and affects Valjean and Cosette. It is the two extremes of good and evil that dictate the lives of Valjean and Cosette. The bishop represents charity and love. Everything he's ever had, he gave to charity. When the bishop first met Valjean, he said, "You need not tell me who you are. This is not my house; it is the house of Christ. It does ... suffering; you are hungry and thirsty; be welcome. And do not thank me; do not tell me that I take you into my house..... whatever is here is yours." (pg. 15-16) The bishop didn't look at him as a convict; he looked at him as a fellow brother. Later, when the bishop found out that Valjean stole his silver, he wasn't mad, but offered all of his silver to Valjean saying, "Don't forget that you promised me to use this silver to become an honest man." Thénardier, on the other hand, is the exact ...
- 3756: The Art Of Torture
- Going by the title of this paper you are probably asking yourself “How in God’s name can torture be seen as an art, were these people mentally ill?” well it was, but I talk about that later, let me tell you a little about the history of torture. Torture has been around since the times of Ancient Greece and is still around today, usually in the Mafia. Other than the mob, torture isn’t very common in our society. Punishments aren’t near as harsh as they used to be back in medieval times. The only punishments we have now are jails, the punishments there were in medieval times were numerous and downright inhuman. Torture would ...
- 3757: History of the Automotive Industry and Ford Motor Company
- ... Soon all of the top auto producers would have a assembly line of their own. The lower costs and faster delivery meant a lower price, and the average family could afford and get one. Ford's Model T soon became the most popular car of the time (Chandler 15). The Great Depression In October of 1929, America experienced a crash in the stock market that left the thriving country poor and desperate. With ... the demand for new automobiles almost stopped. This huge decrease in demand forced major cutbacks in spending, factories were closed, employees were laid off, and production was almost halted. Many of the smaller plants couldn't afford to stay in business. The United States time of prosperity had ended. WWII During the early 1940s, the United States as Hitler rose to power in Germany, and our relationship with Japan grew ...
- 3758: Confucianism
- ... and Hsun Tzu, a later follower of the same faith. Mencius believed that each man, born of woman, would be naturally good and Hsun Tzu believed almost the complete opposite. Through Mencius and Hsun Tzu s differing beliefs on human nature a completely different world view was formed for each and it s effect on their ideas and more importantly a young religion were apparent. Before venturing into the essay, however, I would like to consider where this religion originated, and the meanings for it s existence as to better equip us to understand it s views. Confucianism as a religion was founded by Confucius, a man. It involves no superior beings other than man himself, and deals specifically with ...
- 3759: Music and Censorship
- ... man from the crowd asked him, "Jimi are you high?" He simply replied back to the man, "Thanks man I got mine," causing the crowd to act wild almost as if he had saved someone's life, but ironically he unintentionally destroyed their lives. In addition Bob Dylan(Appendix D and E) also talked about getting stoned in some of his music. The song "Rainy Day Woman #12 and #13," blatantly ... their fans. The lead singers subsist to do this the most because of the vocal opportunities they have to express their discontent with life and thrust their ideas upon those who hypnotize with the musician's power position, thus, makes the listeners obey their thoughts without fully knowing. The lead singer Billie Jo, for Green Day, says to his fans, " I'm not going to say anything f****** intelligent, I'm just going too swear a whole d*** lot." The Bible tells us that we should let everything that comes out of our mouth praise Him, and swearing for any reason doesn't really praise Him at all and is degrading for us as well. Almost like if he did not swear than we wouldn't like him or understand him. In addition the lead singer for ...
- 3760: Joesph Campbells Hero Journey
- A quick note to any who read this; this essay was based on a response, that said I had to ask a question and "possibly" come up with an answer In Joseph Conrad's 1906 classic, Heart of Darkness, the main character of Marlow, partakes of a quest into the deepest part of the jungle, losing much of what he holds dear while gaining a glimpse of the deeper recesses of his own conscious. With an overly simple, yet deeply philosophical plot line, Conrad gives Marlow's journey, what seems to be many of the basic attributes of what Joseph Campbell calls the "Hero's Journey." My question is this - Is Conrad's writing following the criteria of the "Hero's Journey," or does Heart of Darkness have a scheme all its own? Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) is one ...
