Before reviewing this book, it’ important to get some things out of the way regarding slavery and its importance as an institution and the impact that it has had on American history. Slavery more than any other single thing has shaped the history of the United States, it has created a divided country one where whites are superior to blacks and all of this was done in the name of creating wealth for one group on the backs of the other. There is a reason why stories like Nat Turner’s are so incredible is because they are the ...

In 1980, then presidential candidate, Ronald Regan, used the term “Make America Great Again” as a promise that, if elected, he would address the growing concerns of the American people who were living in an America wriggled with unemployment and inflation, and restore a sense of supremacy that appeared to be escaping them. The struggles that the Americans were undergoing during that Regan 1980 run for president were not indicative of who Americans considered themselves to be; rather, masses of people felt marginalized and crippled because of low income or no income, and inflation suggested that as a collective ...

Of the pieces that we have read, I really enjoyed the various excerpts from Zhuangzi, especially chapter 6. Although it is a short piece, it is such a pure example of Confucianism. In his unique manner, Confucius manages to point out Yan Hui’s own arrogance without insulting or deriding him. It is the manner in which Confucius teaches which I find so appealing. He manages to make a person look inward for the answers they know already, versus giving them the answer directly. In this manner, people learn a much deeper lesson then they would have otherwise done. ...

While America is still a relatively new country in comparison to many, it has a long and deep history. The question to look at is what exactly that history is.

Often the history taught is white-washed, meaning it is through the perspective of the white man. This creates ...

He does not entirely accept it as the outcome of historical developments. He describes nature from two perspectives. The first view sees nature as a free environment where everyone has the liberty to do what pleases them as long as their actions do not have an adverse impact on others. Nature makes every man equal. No man has power over another and everyone is free. Every man has some power which lets him act with ...

Modernism created Post-Modernism and the emergence of these two influential art movements created a lasting impact on the artists’ perception of iconography. The history concerning modernism dates back in the Renaissance period since the majority of the artists at that time explored various kinds of iconography such as painting mythological creatures, portraiture, and humanism which contrasts the iconography of the Medieval period. But the lasting effects of the modern period were felt in the early 19th century up to the early phase of the 20th century.

BOOK REVIEW

Book Review Politics has always remained a subject of intense study. Students of political science, brought up on the ideals of Western Civilizational thought, right from Plato to Westphalia, have starry-eyed notions about how the world’s largest democracy, the USA, functions. A close corollary is an intense curiosity about the goings-on behind the curtains in Washington, arguably the biggest seat of power of democracy in the modern world. It is this world that Mark Leibovich (2013) writes about in his book ‘This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral- Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!’ and the outcome is a ...

Introduction

Schindler’s List is a film centered on the historical injustices committed against German Jews. The perpetrators were Nazi soldiers whose aim was to eradicate the Jewish race in Germany through mechanisms such as indiscriminate shooting, exterminations and gassing of innocent Jews. Trains were used to transport large numbers of Jews to military camps, who would then be distributed to labor camps while the physically weak were killed. The film, therefore, depicts the image of how political situations could damage social stability and cause major atrocities against innocent people. The film relies on symbols in the form of characters ...

) The text’s author suggests that Charles Darwin, author of the theory of evolution, actually possessed a romantic view of nature.
