The human inclination to seek explanations for the strange and unusual is as old as human civilization. The supernatural has always provided a convenient rationale for forces that are beyond human control and understanding. War, disease and other natural phenomena are misfortunes that have been ascribed to the influence of witchcraft, of a force directed by a malevolent intelligence bent on subverting the harmony of a godly universe. Patriarchal European society has historically assigned witchcraft a decidedly feminine cast, an image that was formalized during the Middle Ages by the church and in print. The result was centuries of gender-based persecution, torture and violent ...

“He [that is, Antonio] hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million—laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies—what’s his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes?” (Merchant of Venice, 3.1.42-46)

Curanderismo is founded on multiple cultural and religious beliefs, premises and values that are widely implicit ...

Much of what he used to believe when he was young eventually turned wrong or delusive as he was aging. Descartes says that while his memories and knowledge are not certain and may appear false, how can he trust them. Moreover, how can he ...

It is difficult to determine the stylistic evolution of the artist. It is difficult to attribute him to any particular art direction.

David Hume, one of the foremost philosophers of the 18th century, was a skeptic and empiricist whose outlook on free will is based heavily in the sciences and what is known.

Fairy tales and folklores are nothing but the reflections of the society. Authors and artists depict the world through their lens to highlight social elements. The Company of Wolves by Angela Carter is a fairy tale built on the theme of the Little Red Riding Hood.

Resurrection

Resurrection is a concept that details the return of the dead to life. The most intriguing episode in the New Testament is the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Many people set morally high standards for educated people. This is fundamentally because we are raised to believe that education makes people “ladies” and “gentlemen”. Hence, there are things that are considered to be “below” some of the most educated and elite people. In spite of this, there are many things that points that the reverse is true. One can hardly rationalize the reason why the most literate and most elite nation on earth, Germany perpetrated the Holocaust in the 1930s and 1940s. This paper argues that although education often leads to enlightenment, it does not necessarily equal to ...

Over centuries, white supremacy always put domination on those who were fair-skinned than those who were black. There was white privilege that put the white ones ahead in freedom, opportunities and rights to the point that the black ones were left behind to be treated more as slaves, mainly because they lacked the higher value of having white skin color. This was the dehumanization of African peoples even in the United States, in which they were reduced to the status of a chattel just for the sake of enslavement, as well as, economic exploitation. There was white supremacy for ...

The main point of divergence between Eastern and Western religion is the belief in number of deities or gods (Eshleman, 2008). Eastern religions are polytheistic, believing in the existence of several deities. Western religion on the other hand is monotheistic, believing that only one god exits. In Eastern religion, each of the deities controls one or two phenomenon, while in Western religion one god controls everything. Zoroastrianism acts as a link between these religions in the sense that though it is monotheistic, it propounds that there are two forces, good and evil (Hartz, 2009). These forces act against one another, ...

As the American middle class of the 1950’s went, The Bigamist (Ida Lupino, 1953) is one of the few movies that typify the post war middle class sensibility in the country.

It is often said that “Laziness is the Devil’s workshop”. This may hold true to the American middle class in general, though in the context of The Bigamist, one ...
