An Analysis Of David Hume’s “An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding”
Words: 430 / Pages: 2

.... The original impressions, which are derived from sensory input, will have a greater impact on the human being, either physically or mentally, than merely rethinking or recalling them. To support his doctrine, Hume gives an example of how “A blind man can form no notion of colours”. A blind man cannot form impressions of a color because he lacks the ability to see, thus without these impressions, the man cannot imagine what the color red is or what it looks like. But, if somehow the blind man is able to see, “this new inlet for his sensations” will provide the ability to conceive ideas. This ability of conceiving ideas is brought to us b .....


Greek Gods
Words: 533 / Pages: 2

.... contained many human flaws such as envy and greed, and were where the Greek God’s importance lay. Greek religion was more concentrated on the way an individual dealt with situations that popped up in the world around him than on understanding the world itself. In other words the Greeks were more interested in the workings of the mind than in the workings of the environment around them. This was so because unlike us, the Greeks believed that they already had explanations for trivial questions such as, “Where the world came from?” “Who are we?” and “Who controls the world around us?” To them all these questions .....


Macbeth - The Importance Of The Witches
Words: 1071 / Pages: 4

.... of the holy trinity The ingredients that the witches add to the cauldron are associated with the themes of death: ‘finger of birth-strangled babe.’; crime: ‘grease that’s sweaten from the murderer’s gibbet.’; evil: ‘Tartar’s lips.’; poison ‘adder’s fork’; and damnation: ‘Liver of blaspheming Jew’. These powerful images would have shocked Shakespearean audiences and thus would have thought the witches as overwhelmingly evil. The witches add to this impression of evil by throwing ‘into the flame’ a murderer’s gibbet. This shows that Macbeth will have the same fate as a murderer, being thrown into the flames of hel .....

.... The military put together a team of people ranging from a psychologist to a mathematician. They called in Norman Johnson to lead the team he was a psychologist who had dealt with many, many disasters in his years.

This guess of his was bursted when he was loaded onto a military helicopter and took off. He flew over the d .....


Hamlet Vs Laertes
Words: 442 / Pages: 2

.... The rest of the play revolves around the idea of how things appear and how they are in reality. Laertes on the other hand, I believe, is the character in the play that is meant to bring out Hamlet’s ‘evil’ qualities and present Hamlet as the villain. The sentence, "The virtues of his will; but you must fear, His greatness weigh’d, his will is not his own, For he himself is subject to his birth.", is an important one in contributing to Laertes’ character. He is saying to Ophelia that to be careful of Hamlet, because ‘he’s royalty, and she’s not!’. But he is also saying that Hamlet is subject .....


Two Kinds By Amy Tan
Words: 515 / Pages: 2

.... (491) Deciding that Jing-Mei’s destiny is to become a prodigy, her mother takes control and begins to push Jing-Mei towards this goal. At first Jing-Mei is, “just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so.” (491) By saying these things, Jing-Mei’s mother tries to create an ideal identity for her. Jing-Mei’s mother begins to test her with questions and she cooperates. But as time goes on and the tests her mother gives her gets harder, Jing-Mei begins to be resentful and unwilling to cooperate. She thinks to herself, “I won’t be what I’m not.” (492) This shows a child resisting it’s .....


Oedipus Rex (film Vs Text)
Words: 551 / Pages: 3

.... was Oedipus Rex. The opening shot of the film presents us with a fairly decent visual representation of what Sophocles seemed to have in mind for the beginning of the play. The outer steps of the castle are crowded with what seem to be peasants who are obviously in different states of peril. When Oedipus exits the castle into the courtyard to confront the peasants the actor playing the role does an excellent job of portraying the cocky swagger and demeanor that Sophocles seemed to bestow upon him on the page. Although we quickly notice that none of the actors are wearing masks, which would have been the case had this been a production that was t .....


Carpe Diem Dead Poet Society
Words: 359 / Pages: 2

.... The lead part in the school play was given to Neil. He participated in it behind his fathers back. At the auditorium, during the play Neil’s father showed up. Neil went home with his father because Mr. Perry had withdrawn Neil from school. Later that night the two had argued this was a factor leading to Neil’s suicide. The dead poet society had some more problems since the death of a dear friend such as the expulsion of Newanda and the dismissal of Mr. Keaton . Newanda was a radical student who didn’t like the idea of an all school boarding school and let it be known all over so that he would get expelled. A phone rang in the auditorium while .....


The Goddess Remembered
Words: 848 / Pages: 4

.... eyes are still to be seen in many representations along the Mediterranean, such as on fishing boats on Malta. Perhaps the statement, "We know that women developed agriculture, and the domestication of animals." was one of the most disturbing remarks made in the film. To me, the understanding that "only recently, in the past 6,000 years, has the woman's perspective been ignored", is something that nobody can say with any certainty. Some of the more factual issues discussed in the film include "Venus Figures". They were first called "Venus" figures by the Marquis de Vibraye in the 1860's and the term has subsequently been used to represent all anc .....


Comparison Of The Views Of Bonaventure, Beauvoir, And Marx In Their Works
Words: 1259 / Pages: 5

.... not enter into itself thorough the memory; be clouded by sense images, it does not come back to itself though memory…Therefore, completely immersed in the things of sense the soul cannot re-enter itself as the image of God. By this quote Bonventure is trying to say that humans are being shaped more and more by society than they are by God. In a sense, humans are being led astray by all the ongoing imperfections, which bombard our society today. We tend to immerse ourselves into the problems of the world and forget about God. Bonaventre says we cannot allow ourselves to shut out our Lord out of our lives. He notes, "when one has fallen, he must .....
