Abstract

Theory of evolution as proposed by Darwin has for long hinged on the fossil records to prove the process of evolution. However, the prevalent gaps in the fossils led way to the development of the punctuated equilibrium theory that was proposed by Eldredge and Gould as an alternative to Darwin’s phyletic gradualism theory. The punctuated equilibrium postulated that speciation occurs in an isolated peripheral subsect of population as a rapid change after a period of stasis. Unlike the anagenetic speciation of phyletic gradualism, punctuated equilibrium promotes the concept of cladogenetic speciation. However, punctuated equilibrium does consider rapid anagenetic speciation as a ...

Abstract

Le Ly Hayslip’s memoir is a remarkably personal account of the Vietnam War from the perspective of a native who was victimized by both sides. Her viewpoint is a sharp departure from other histories of the Vietnam conflict, which has often been written about from the standpoint of combatants or by scholars writing highly academic histories. Hayslip’s account shows how one’s understanding of the world can be determined by an ideology, and how it can be changed radically by personal experience. When Heaven and Earth Changed Places is an important work in that it reveals the terrible sufferings endured ...

Evolution of the Renaissance Style

Through the history, human perception of reality and subsequently depiction of it had evolved just human civilization itself. The divine world perception of Middle Ages was embodied in the Byzantine art and painting style, in which the main emphasis was placed on worshipping and divine nature of saints, making them as unreachable to a mortal being as the very comprehension of God Himself. Finally, human world perception was ready for the next step – self-realization and humanization of art in all of its perspectives, even such matters as saints and religious descriptions. Thus, the era of Renaissance and contemporary human-centric world ...

The Terrible Irony of Cheever’s ‘Reunion’

The title of this story - ‘Reunion’ – might lead the reader to expect a happy, celebratory story; after all, reunions involve meeting old friends or colleagues and reacquainting oneself with the past in a festive spirit of nostalgia. But Cheever’s story does not live up t these expectations. The opening sentence then brings the reader to a halt: “The last time I saw my father was in Grand Central Station.” (Cheever, 665). This seems to imply, when it is first read, that the narrator’s father died suddenly after their reunion at the station, but Cheever develops his story so well ...

Mexican culture undoubtedly belongs to the number of death-accepting ones, for the notion of death permeates every aspect of it without being grim or depressive one.

The Mexicans consider it to be the day of reunion between themselves and their dead relatives and loved ones, who are not considered to be some ghastly otherworldly spirits but just the same people they used to be, only on a different stage of existence.

In the 1960s, following John Bolby’s article The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, many psychoanalytic figures criticised his work. They claimed that attachment theory was “mechanic, nondynamic, and explicated according to thorough misunderstandings of psychoanalytic theory” (Fonagy, 2001, page 1, p2). Critiques felt that Bowlby treated his human subjects like animals, and used too many labels and categories when reporting on experiment results. When examining the attachment theory today and, in particular, Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, it does appear that the critiques’ points were valid. The personalities and behaviours of human beings are extremely diverse, ...
