Question 1: Gramsci: Some Preliminary Points of Reference

Philosophy has had a long history in which it has been viewed as an ‘ivory tower’ pursuit – a subject which is to be studied by those who have either too much time or money on their hands. Through this view philosophy had no practical applicability and was simply a pass time for those who could afford it. Contrary to this view, Gramsci argued that not only is philosophy a practical subject of study – one which embodies the idea of ‘praxis’ but that every individual is a philosopher. This (somewhat deterministic) standpoint claims that all people are, in ...

In the most unlikely places are literary themes that are eerily similar. Such is the case for “The Ballad of Reading Gaol,” In Cold Blood, and “The Crucible,” a poem by Oscar Wilde, a novel by Truman Capote, and a play by Arthur Miller, respectively. Although each of these pieces of literature deal with different time periods and different experiences, each discusses the darkness inside the human soul, the piercing reality of very banal, human evil that burns inside most people. While Capote’s characters chase the ghost of a murderer around a complex, interwoven plot, Miller’s characters fight against a corrupt, hysterical system ...

In the late 19th century Emile Durkheim, a French sociologist, put forward an idea that society can be compared to a biological organism and coined the term “social organism”. A fitting comparison, seeing how every institution performs its own specific function, all of which are equally vital for the well-being of the organism – the economy provides and regulates the elements necessary for every individual and institution to function properly - just like the circulatory system of a mammal pumps vitae into every part of the body, the military institutions perform functions similar to those performed by the skin, law enforcement – to the ...

Managers operating different businesses often face situations in which they have to make critical decisions. According to Barrett (1), “when a situation arises that we have to deal with, there are three different ways we can arrive at a decision on what to do: we can use our beliefs to formulate a response, we can use our values to formulate our response, or we can use our intuition to formulate a response.” Effective leaders are characterized by strong personalities that are shaped by strong personal beliefs.

I disagree with my classmates who claim that watching television cannot make one smarter. This is because television is informative and tends to educate a person on the realities of the world.

Multicultural education is essentially designed to prepare all students to be good citizens in a democratic society. This is done by teaching the students to be considerate of the needs of every single individual in the society.

This is why there is a great need to adapt the current curriculum for multicultural classrooms.

At my current placement, the curriculum cannot be considered to be considerate of multicultural student body. Although most of ...

I agree with the fact that there is a complete lack of respect for the elderly in today’s societies. However, the issue of lawsuits is complicated because most of old people suffer in silence and they may not have evidence to indicate that their rights have been abused. The aged people have always played an important role in society of advising the young people, but this role has been thrown into the dustbin in the 21st century. This is because many people think they are a burden to them. Ageism has thus completely destructed the role that the old people ...

According to the assigned readings, all religious systems have some similarities and differences. Whereas the differences depend on an individual foundation of the systems, the similarities are universal.

All people on earth, regardless of their religious affiliations aspire that one day, they will go to this place for their second life. Because of such beliefs, the religious systems tend to have similar principles of morality and law because such principles are supposed to guide them to meet the ...

In my view, the four students acted against the ethical principles and theory of the nursing practice. This is true given that the students violated the principle of beneficence, least harm, as well as the theory of deontology. According to the principle of beneficence, the nursing students are expected "to do good" both for patients and the society in general (Benjamin & Curtis, 2010). It aims at ensuring that people obtain the greatest level of good. Another principle, which is almost similar to that of beneficence, is that of least harm where the student's actions should result ...

The sociological viewpoint of social problem sees it as conditions that influence the quality of life of a considerable population, or aspects that deprive the society of its cherished values.

On the other hand, popular culture tends to have numerous definitions for social problems. Some of the views include social problems results from cultural aspects such as bullying would influence crime rate, or poverty results from poor governance. ...

In what ways may social media and/or social networks impact an individual’s ability to create and leverage social capital?

According to John Field (2003: 1-2), the central idea is that 'social networks are a valuable asset'.

It mainly refers to the socio-political behavior of a society with reference to a particular period of time.

Berger reiterates that the ‘nomos’ implanted in a society must be its shield, which always ...

Critical theory argues that we should be inquisitive about the production of enlightenment its dissemination and its connection to influence and how this impacts on the individuals; how it limits and contributes to the enhancement of our freedoms (Art 2011).
