Book Review

The Book is basically detailed in defining the two different perspectives of two different cultures in medical sense of being. The first culture is about US biomedicine and how the medication affects people as well as how it can be used as a form of social control. The other perspective includes the Hmong perspective which is entirely about spiritual causes and other causes that are not related to biomedical performances or the concept of biomedical healing. The book is excellent in terms of how it defines the distant gap between the two cultures and uses Lia, a Hmong child, as a bridge ...

- In Chapter 6, when Lenina asks what time is for, she thinks it is for wasting. This is relatively speaking. She offers that she and Bernard should participate in several different activities such as Electromagnetic Golf or swimming, but Bernard deems them all a waste of time, which is when Lenina asks, exasperatedly, what time is supposed to be used for. This is as if to say, if you are not wasting it, why are you using it at all? In my opinion, time is, technically speaking, for wasting. We will all die one day. Though some of our ...

The theme of alienation and resistance permeates throughout Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale. Alienation, disillusionment and fear are dominant elements in dystopian societies. In this paper, I seek to make the argument that alienation makes resistance to oppression difficult since individuals are separated from each other and the products that individuals produce. I argue that The Handmaid’s Tale shows how difficult it is for women to wage a successful resistance movement against a male dominated society. Even though Marx did reduce all human relations to means and modes of production, it is important to note ...

Journalism is a field that can have many faces. One may even go as far as saying that this industry is the best one when it comes to making perfect disguise. Throughout history, it can be attested that journalism and political science has been merged, perhaps subconsciously by the people working in these fields. In modern day politics, for example, a stage where democracy appears to be the dominant player, as evidenced by the fact that the number of counties that are based on a democratic and liberal type of government is far larger than those that are based on monarchy and ...

The book “Six Thinking Hats,” written by Edward DeBono (1999), is a text that presents thinking as a methodical and systematic process that can be controlled.

The white, red, blue, black, yellow, and green hats are presented in the book, and a detailed elaboration on perspectives and insights from each hat are presented to the reader.

Rodrik portrays globalization as problematic and continues to claim that it leads to a problem of triangulation. He asserts that the countries cannot pursue all their internal activities without external interference. This is a case of a trilemma where nations are unable to afford national autonomy, democracy and economic liberty at the same time. This is because trade affects the internal structures of countries and also exerts political influence in the countries administrations.
Globalization has suffered many hitches since it was introduced. The author cites the collapse of the gold standard of the 1914 due to economic problems. This was because ...

In Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom, Friedman argues that political freedom cannot come about without economic freedom, and argues for the perpetuation of the free market as a philosophical and practical solution to many of society's problems. Friedman's perspective is decidedly liberal, though this is framed through the European definition of the word (i.e. limited role of government), instead of the American one (expansion and increase in size of the social safety net).. In this way, he seems to be the quintessential libertarian, believing that the private sector can and should provide for the needs of a free society. This ...

The presence of the government system has therefore hindered the prosperity of ideas, concepts and ...

The society creates stability to enable them to predict the environment ...
