Essays on Benedict

According to Benedict Anderson (2007), a community is formed through people coming together and imagining that they are one group. Primarily, societies are created as a result of several factors, which he explains in the first four chapters of his book. Notably, the identification of communities started rising during the industrial revolution due to the increase in the use of local dialects in most functions as opposed to the more general ones, like Latin. The local dialects were used in publications and other print products (Anderson, 2007). The concept resonates well with the theory of imagined communities because when ...

Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is true to the characters, plot, and language of the original play. However, it is not just a flat, uninspiring copy. Instead, it builds on Shakespeare's language and the play's cast of characters with the addition of cinematography, sound, and other elements. The effectiveness of these elements is especially prevalent in the early part of act 1, scene 1, where Benedict and Beatrice trade barbs after Claudio and Hero have been introduced. The effective use of sound and blocking in this scene serves to highlight how others view Benedict ...

Speaking about the United States of America, most people will definitely imagine a large country made up of various races and ethnicities. They will also think of a unique culture that is based on constitutional rights and god given freedoms peculiar to each of its citizen. Some may even place America a step higher than other countries and perceive its culture superior to the rest of the world. This point of view, in fact, served as a basic characteristic of a special theory called American exceptionalism. Such theory claims that the United States of America considerably differs from other ...

In this essay, we will dwell on the topic of creation of nation-states. It is a very controversial question because we have no facts or proves why a certain state was created. It is believed that people created their communities in order to survive, to produce themselves, and that was why they need to be shown as people and to be united under one nation-state. This essay will provide the analysis of some of the theories of different scientists. Before we approach the main issue we should clearly differentiate between the notions such as ethnic group, state, nation, etc. ...

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking could very well be found before the Second Vatican Council. It even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904 – that the Jewish faith was the foundation of Christianity – but was replaced by the teachings of Christ (Cunningham 2). However, in the same verse in his epistle to the ...

The underlying makeup of human nature has been a primary focus of many philosophers throughout history, particularly the relationship between the individual and culture. According to noted psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in Civilization and its Discontents, civilization is made up of individuals, each with their own anxieties and personality traits, their own needs and priorities being the essential focus of human nature. However, Ruth Benedict is much more focused on culture as the vehicle that establishes consistent actions and thought patterns that can be found within societies, each of which must be accepted and tolerated as individual to them. Comparing ...

A New Relationship between Christians and Jews

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with the Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1).

Saint Paul wrote ...
