The introduction of new media has created various challenges to the old media in the recent decades. From the onset, it is important to note that the development of internet from the 1980s to date has been swifter than other communication media. For many centuries the old media, which comprises of the mainstream platforms such as newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, has been used as a platform for advertising and communication. Although the old media has been an effective way of marketing for many years, the advent of new media led by the internet and the subsequent professional and ...

Neill Blomkamp’s allegorical sci-fi action adventure District 9 manages to fit a number of trenchant themes and issues relating to technology and politics within its unusual structure and audacious tone. Depicting a fictionalized world in which a derelict alien ship floats above Johannesburg, South Africa, with its indigent alien population (colloquially called ‘prawns’) segregated into districts and marginalized by its people, District 9 uses its setting in a powerful way to present a startling critique of the African apartheid that occurred in the late half of the twentieth century. In addition to its social criticisms about apartheid and ...

The purpose of this paper is to expand the readers’ awareness about the philosophical and ethical principles that may be associated with abortion. With that, the topic that will be discussed in this paper is abortion. Abortion can be defined as the process of ending a pregnancy. It is important to note, however, that an abortion can happen intentionally or unintentionally. Unintentional abortion typically occurs naturally. Examples would be when there are birth defects that have been found during pregnancy; this is otherwise known as spontaneous abortion or simply a miscarriage. Intentional abortion, on the other hand, is done ...

Psychology of Human Sexuality

Psychology of Human Sexuality The sexuality of a human being is an uncertain thing. Physically, it is determined at the conception of the child, as the X and Y chromosomes will reach a configuration that will allow the newly formed organism to be classified as male or female. The genitalia however that are so vital to many in determining whether one is a boy or a girl will not be visible until upwards of 17 to 20 weeks during a pregnancy. The physical sexuality of a person is determined early on in life, but the overall gender they allude ...

Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem “Ozymandias” focuses on the trend toward decline that always takes hold of the leaders of empires, particularly when they turn their attention away from fostering the growth of their people and toward perpetuating their own memories. Their pride shows forth in the erection of giant statues of themselves, on which they have artisans engrave all sorts of grandiose quotations about the unlimited power of their rule. They forget, of course, that all of us – not just individuals, but societies and countries – will come to an end at some point. This pride that makes people ...

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the United Nations are all supporting documents that were drafted by exists and technocrats drawn from all active member states and subsequently unanimously upheld as binding treaties. The major mission as contained in the two documents is to emphasize on the recognition of every human being as equal and insistence on a peaceful and harmonious existence. Although most of the information as contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the United Nations seems to converge, some articles and chapters are implicitly conflicting. Safe from ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

I strongly support the views expressed by Zhou in the article. It is often said that America is a land of liberty, equality and opportunity. The gifted people get what they deserve. Asian Americans have proved their ability and they have been credited for one of the major drivers of American economy. They are called “Model Minority”. The previous generations of Asian Americans came to this land to shape their future and the future of their next generations. They got liberty and opportunities to prosper as elite Americans. It clearly indicates that America is a land of liberty and ...

Introduction

Since the dawn of human civilization annihilation of millions of people has been occurring. After the two World Wars, this annihilation took place through many civil wars fought within the nations all over the world. The Genocide or the mass killing of a particular ethnic group has been a common phenomenon in civil wars. In 1990s, the Kashmiri Hindus were expelled by Muslim terrorists through severe massacre. The question is whether mass massacre is the answer to any problem. There is a universal agreement that genocide is immoral and unethical (Jones, 1999). Still even after the horrified consequences of ...

The political elements of Star Trek show that the series had more insight than what is apparent. The show started in the 1960s when the Cold War was at its height. Many authorities argue that Star Trek is an exploration based on self-interest, colonialism, collectivism and control . However, George Gonzalez takes a different approach in The Politics of Star Trek where he undertakes a critical review of the story within the context of the actual implications of the actions of the characters. This paper will review the first two chapters of the book in order to present the critical ...

Humanity has developed and flourished over the span of centuries. As civilizations grew and develop, humans learn many things about nature. Ancient people realized the benefits of nature to humanity and began using it for hunting food, acquiring resources to build homes and to protect them from numerous threats from the environment. As humans learned other benefits of nature, they started to interfere with the environment and greatly change the way it was used. People started to change the structures of land and to remove trees from the forest in order to build farm lands and cities. People continue ...

Obstacle to Sustainable Development

It is proved that in places where people litter, take the environment for granted and where people do not appreciate natural resources, the atmosphere is not at all happy ((Blakely, Haley and Woodward). In 2014, the United Nations on the basis of three indicators such as life expectancy of citizens, availability of education and standard of living (poverty or affluence), calculated the index of human development in 190 countries around the world. It is not necessary to prove that the index of human development greatly depends on the ecology of the environment - in other words, to prove that ...

Philosophy and the Walking Dead: The Rules of “The Walking Dead”

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is the story of a particular group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse, led by Rick Grimes, which has become one of the most popular shows on television. It was adapted for television from the comic books of the same title written by Robert Kirkman (Yuen, 2016). The show asks many questions within the story regarding life and death, what it means to be alive and what does it means to be human? It presents ethical conundrums and creates the basis for philosophical debate. There are priorities in the apocalyptic world, food, water, shelter, ...

The development of human society is inextricably linked to the use of our planet's natural resources, with the consumption of various types of energy in ever-increasing scale. All the achievements of modern civilization - a huge variety of goods, different in speed and comfort, transportation, space travel, etc., are possible thanks to the huge amount of artificial energy, which produces humanity. The basis for the production of thermal and electric energy is the process of burning fossil fuels -coal, oil, gas. The scale of the production and consumption of fossil fuels, metals, water, air for the production of essential ...

It is undoubtedly in hearts of many to say that in duration of its history, the world has barely seen an atrocity more disgusting and frightening than fascism. Fascism, as a movement, as an ideology has done so much evil to this world in the relatively recent years that some of those who had to struggle from it are still alive, and can still recollect whatever horrors they have encountered, and these memories can still make one’s hair rise, and one’s breath stop. However, it would be simply unfair to say that fascism is the worst that ...

Christian Worldview

A worldview seeks to understand God and the composition of the world and the way man relates to God and the world. In Theistic religions, the common belief is in one separately real God who overlooks the functioning of the universe. Personally, I am a Christian who believes that the Scriptures have the authority of God and should guide each Christian's everyday living. A Christian worldview replies to questions that arise from a reflection of a Christian life.

What is prime reality?

Abstract

Several experts have been concern about the effectiveness of recycling in mitigating the effects of pollution and global warming. Some even argued that the recycling process is economically and environmentally ineffective due to the large costs and large amounts of energy required for the process. However, the practice of recycling should be continued and improved since it has numerous potential benefits against its alternatives. First, recycling is not a waste of money since the alternatives to this strategy such as incineration and landfilling has larger costs due to environmental damages. Second, issues and problems associated with recycling could be ...

Theories of Religion

The Functionalism theory was coined by Durkheim whereby the theory views religion from a societal platform based on the way it influences the thinking and behaviour of people. The theory argues that sacred objects tend to have divine properties and people tend to separate them from profane objects (Pals & Pals 2006). Religion is viewed as an aspect that fosters good health and society continuation in general. It is a platform that helps societies to affirm their common beliefs and cultural values on a regular basis while also ensuring that societal order and cohesion is enhanced. The essay looks into ...

Introduction

Artificial (computer) intelligence is one of the most promising development vectors in computer science and computer engineering. Work in the field of artificial intelligence is aimed at the development of methods, tools and technologies of designing computer systems with a specific function such as training, expert advising, robotics, and others. Unlike conventional programmers, who are involved in the development of well-specified software, artificial intelligence experts are additionally able to formulate specifications, which is one of the biggest challenges in the design of any product. However, the issue remains, as questions continue to arise as to whether human-equivalent artificial intelligence ...

The world we live in today is the result of the human’s activity. The changes we face – are the consequences of our actions. The well – known saying – “the planet Earth is our home” – describes the truly situation as it is now and has always been before us. To be a citizen of the world, to finally understand the initial purpose – means to think globally. Where do the majority of the hardest struggles of the human kind come from? They come from the irreverent attitude towards nature. Our consuming approach does not predict the backwards actions, such as recovery, ...

Introduction

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society. However, it is quite intriguing to look into the doctrine of doing and allowing and this basically narrows down to the moral threshold that has been set forth in any particular society. Therefore, this brings to light the concept of whether, there is a fatual difference between actually being the perpetrator and carrying out the particular act or being a mere observer and letting the particular harm escalate among the people. Moreover, based on the doctrine of ...

Introduction

The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) and The Dispossessed (1974) are useful resources that demonstrate the utopian models and breaking of limits by individuals. The paper aims at identifying the concepts of individuality in the settings of radically different individuals in the society. It demonstrates the differences in culture and interactions that exist between racially different individuals as well as their similarities. Both texts are utopian in that they give a critical review of the powerful ideologies that exist between human, environments, politics among others. The essay focuses on two characters that help in pushing the plot forward as ...

Voluntary Simplicity Meets Modern Consumerism

INTRODUCTION When people look at the modern world today the first thing they recognize is the evidence of humanity’s development of the world, how they harvested the needed environment for energy and rejoice in the modern technological advances that allow for a fantastic amount of convenience to many people’s everyday lives. However, many of these same human beings fail to consider the consequences, on many levels, that all of these developments and advances may lead to. Many argue that these advances and conveniences have led to an unhealthy kind of consumerism; ideologies that place a great deal ...

Response: In the four stages of evolution between a specialized human disease from an animal precursor, the first are the diseases that we pick up from pets and domesticated animals but also those in the wild. Scratch-fever from cats, brucellosis from cattle and tularemia from rabbits are examples of the diseases we get in this stage (Diamond ...

Positive discrimination is a phenomenon which is aimed at targeting and acting in favor of those groups of people which have been actively discriminated against in the past. Hence it can be named as the policy which allows providing such individuals with benefits and advantages because they had been deprived of them in the past. The premise for positive discrimination is not favoritism or nepotism rather it is an action which is allowed only to those who have suffered from the act’s deprivation in the past, due to their gender, race or disposition at that particular time. Therefore, ...

Abstract

The birth of art had served humanity in a variety of purposes. And this purpose has changed throughout the course of human history. Humans use art to showcase their religious belief, to express emotions, to depict the beauty of an individual or a particular landscape, to record a significant event and for propaganda. Moreover, the way humans perceive art are constantly changing. Cultural art arises from the need to express emotions and the different aspects of cultures. On the other hand, modern-day contemporary art is inclined to make use of various objects and to combine genres which make the ...

Background

Domestic violence has occurred for as long as their has been a written record. This is evidenced by laws, usually permitting it, throughout antiquity. It has most likely existed since humanity began, as it is observed in our closest genetic relatives, and seems to be stimulated by very primal parts of the brain. The Journal of the American Medical association began to describe battered child syndrome in the 1960’s, and between the beginning of humanity and when domestic abuse began to be described as a societal problem, little if anything was done. Since then, the United States has ...

A. Neuromancer and Cyberpunk Film

Neuromancer discusses the ways in which people augment their bodies with technology, which can easily be seen in elements of The Matrix. The mixture of machine and man is found in The Matrix through the plugs and cables the humans use to connect to the virtual world, most notably the invasive, penetrative plug used to ‘jack in’ to the Matrix through the back of their heads. This is compared to Molly Millions’ razor-nails and eye augmentations found in Neuromancer – both fusion of man and machine used to grant the user abilities not available to them as organic life forms. ...

(A) What are the most important developments and evidence that would support an argument that the period since about 1750 has seen the rise of a new and different “modern” way of living that is fundamentally different from the way people lived in the premodern world? There have been a variety of important developments that have taken place since 1750. These developments have fundamentally altered the way that people live in the modern world compared to those that lived in premodernity. Today, people live and work in very different contexts and socialize much more broadly than they did in ...

Ethical Autobiography

Morality and the corresponding moral norm is the basis of civilization and humanity in general. This is the concept that determines whether a person is in the “right” or in the “wrong”. When morality and moral foundations collapse the society becomes gradually destroyed, people become degraded and immersed in vice. Morality is our inner code of conduct making us behave in a good way towards other people. The issue is that some people have lost their sense of morality and are doing the contrary of “right” and “good.” Moral (see “right”) actions follow a certain spiritual principle of honor, ...

Considering Lauren Slater’s View on 20th Century Experiments

Considering Lauren Slater’s View on 20th Century Experiments The human condition has been the subject of consideration for many centuries and across many cultures. From the ancient studies of philosophy to the more recent fields of psychology, great minds have struggled to better understand humanity. While no single piece of work can explain humanity in its entirety, those well-known experiments Slater (2004) discussed in her book may provide a glimpse at different aspects of man’s true nature. It is through the works of the greatest minds, and subsequently the greatest experiments, that we may begin to see ...

[Assignment]

There has been a major push in the past few decades towards diversity in the literary canon, which was for a long while dominated by similar voices with similar origins. This push toward diversity has taken many forms: the integration of more female voices; the inclusion of more writers of color, regardless of their origin; and the inclusion of works of literature from non-Western cultures that have for too long been ignored. This last point has become known by the name multiculturalism, and though there is agreement throughout the academic community that this addition of previously un-acknowledged voices ...

Francesco Bassano’s "The Adoration of the Magi" presents a 16th century depiction of the birth of Jesus and the presentation of gifts to him by the wise men that is accounted in the Bible. The elegant dress of these individuals is made even more exotic by the the way that their bright colors are contrasted with the otherwise dim and dreary atmosphere. The magi, baby Jesus, and Mary are all the primary focus of the picture and demonstrate the homage that the wise men paid to the young savior. Oil on canvas was used in order to depict ...

Leon Kass in his essay “Ageless Bodies, Happy Souls: Biotechnology and the Pursuit of Perfection” (2003) tells the reader about some advances in the modern biotechnology and their possible impact on the society. He states that humanity is near the beginning of the golden age of the branch of science. He seems to be appreciating the benefits biotechnology gives to the whole humankind such as prolongation of life, cures for diseases and so forth. In fact, however, he expresses his concerns about the non-therapeutic use of the achievements of contemporary science. These concerns are linked to the nature of ...

Nurses have to face different concerns while on duty because they serve different patients from different locations and religions on a daily basis. To address these concerns, a majority of the issues considered as an ideal show that the community has a varied way of looking at everyday existence. The aspect of humanity is quite different from many, yet, they all agree that something higher and more supreme than humanity exists. The acceptance of this differs from one person to the other, an aspect that shows a different way of observing the concept of one’s life. Nurses must ...

On several occasions, the two professors invite each other to their classes to help give students opposing views. The restaurant is moderately occupied and the atmosphere is humid and warm. The two gentlemen have just completed ...

Movie Review: THX-1138

THX-1138, the main character in the film THX-1138, works as a magnum operator in cell 94107. He was literally created to manipulate the magnum along with other people in his society.

Justice is something which underlies our own society – without it, indeed, some people posit that there can be no such thing as society. While many people state that justice is the same thing as the law, with Plato being the most visible proponent of this theory, others, such as Socrates, hold the two to be very different things. As we shall see below, while Socrates and Plato disagree on whether or not justice and law are the same, they both agree when it comes to addressing the role that justice takes in internal adherence to the values of the ...

How does Willard Describe Humanity?

Willard describes humanity as ‘different from other creatures’. He explains this description by saying that human beings, unlike other creatures, have a purpose, aspirations, and a power beyond what we know we possess (Willard, 1991, pg. 47). Humanity is defined by the presence of a body and a soul, in addition to the exceptional possibilities that have the power to lead us to heaven or hell. Though made a little less than a god, human beings are care for by God, which is an indication of the intrinsic importance and uniqueness of humanity. People even have power over animals, ...

Summary

The Romans made many decisions which were pertinent to the internal affairs of the city of Rome. Rome disunited itself from the Plebs and the Roman Senate making the city free and more powerful. Liberty was placed in the hands of both the people and the Nobles, provided these individuals had a greater reason to gain or protect. The government in Rome was keen on eliminating the enmity between the Populace and the Senate. Religion was an important aspect in Rome, and the lack of a medium between the Roman Catholic Church led to the destruction of Rome. A ...

Introduction

Superhero is a term that is socially accepted and widely revered in today’s society. We are fed with information about their supreme powers and ability to save humanity from evil. Every popular media form has been used to ensure our society fantasizes about their presence and accept their critically maligned narratives (King 167). Vigilante, it’s a word taken from Spanish and it was first introduced to America in the mid-19th century. A vigilante is someone who operates alone or in a group, “takes the law into their own hands” (Butler 1). These people are not endorsed as ...

Jesus in Writings and Paintings.

Jesus as an Inspirational Figure in the Renaissance Christianity and Jesus have always been central to the development of culture in Europe throughout its history. That does not, however, mean that people’s conception of them both remained static – a fact which has arguably led to some of the greatest artistic and intellectual outpourings the world has ever seen. While the Renaissance is famous for its intellectual outpourings (with Da Vinci being just one of the people famous for this), it is equally famous for its paintings and sculptural works. The ubiquity of religious iconography in both artistic and ...

Categorical imperative is universal and it means that all the people have to act in accordance with the requirements of morality no matter whether people agree with them or not. Kant believes that it is the priority to be able to discern right actions from wrong actions. Universal law is of the utmost importance and the right actions are moral and have to be universal in similar situations. People have to behave in a way which is good for other people and for themselves as well because other people have to respect the same law. Kant says that the ...

Putting human beings on the Mars has constantly been a subject of science fiction for quite some time now. Notably, in the late 1960s when humanity finally set its foot on the moon, it appeared as though human beings were just a small step away from reaching the Mars. However, with the winning of the Space Race, public interest, as well as, excitement, an arguable most significant factor i.e. funding commenced waning as times passed consequently reaffirming the assertion that we are still not closer to the Mars as it was the situation in the 1960s. As it stands, ...

Introduction

Many studies and clinical research have the ultimate goal of treating cancer and preventing anyone from suffering from it. Each day, the technology and the knowledge that can help address this goal has surpassed expectations and had brought promising results.These studies and researches have likewise tried approaching cancer in multiple perspective and using various methods. However, one particular approach proved to catch the attention of many. A clinical research in Pennsylvania used genetically modified HIV to cure leukemia and other forms of cancer (Grady, 2012). This particular clinical research may daunt many due to the fact that a virus ...

Thesis Statement

Throughout all the times, humanity struggled to fight something real, something which would be the reason of their living. Aristotle was among those who truly answered this question and found for the sake of what people are living their lives. In this paper, I will describe and explain Aristotle’s findings regarding the matter and describe how they pertain to our lives. As they say, great people always are similar in their greatness. Aristotle's findings regarding the contemplating way of living and the aim of living match those of Buddha. They both have found that happiness is essential to ...

Documentary film “Ethos: Time to Unslave Humanity” presented by Woody Harrelson was produced in 2011 by the director Pete McGain.

“Ethos” is defined in the Cambridge Dictionary as “the set of beliefs, ideas, etc. about the social behavior and relationships of a person or group” (Meaning). So, judging from the name, the film offers the way of unslaving humanity by forming some kind of “correct” social beliefs and behavior. The motto of the film is: “It is impossible to change the system without knowing the process of its work”. The plot of the film shows us all sides of not working system, which contradicts democracy, individual’s liberty and environment. Unlimited and uncontrolled corporate power is defined as the ...

The theory of deconstructivist architecture postulated by Jacques Derrida supports the idea of the architectural discipline, allowing the architects to go beyond the traditionally installed restriction. The main idea is for architects to emphasize less on functionality and focus on the appearance of their architectural work. Apart from deconstructism coming out to challenge traditional practice in design, it is an ideology that seeks to introduce aspects of humanity, especially rhetoric into architectural practice. The central point in defining deconstruction is finding a balance between essence and value. As Derrida puts it, architects, in understanding his point of view should ...
