All of these various styles responded to the industrialization of Europe in their own unique fashions, and resulted in a strange conglomeration of art, ideals, and themes. The earliest and perhaps greatest response to industrialization was the era or Romanticism. Disgusted by the squalor and pollution produced by industry, many artists and writers turned to Romanticism, glorifying nature over civilized society and emotion over reason. Romanticism prized natural beauty and despised the materialistic ideals of the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution. Romantic art tended to revolve around nature or some heroic deed, ignoring or tuning away from industry and logic, and when it did not, it reviled it.
Rhetorical Analysis Essay- “Civil Disobedience” The public should not obey and respect a faulty, harmful or malfunctioned government. The essay “Civil disobedience” by Henry David Thoreau alerts the public of that idea and expounds upon it in a variety of ways. With his authorative, rebellious and mainly condescending tone, compelling point of view and diction he inspires the readers to espouse his distaste for the U.S. government and their unjust treatment of the American public. Why follow and associate yourself with a stronger, more powerful institution then yourself that is impure, less than perfect and abuses their powers? With that idea implanted into the audience’s mind, Thoreau proceeds to exercise diction while fully getting his point across.
Although sharing little in setting or premise, the texts Frankenstein and Blade Runner share many of the same concerns as they both challenge the values and morals of the societies in which they were set, most notably the notion of what it means to be human, as well as articulating the composers' critique of the advancement in science and technology. Both texts also exhibit the consequences of imprudent creation and the hubris of an individual to rise above and disrupt the natural order. Written in the eighteen hundreds by aggrieved writer Mary Shelley, the novel Frankenstein presents readers with a Romanticist perspective of technology ‘dehumanizing’ mankind as society was not made clear of their indistinct boundaries. Through Victor’s regression, “I, the true murderer, felt the never dying worm alive in my bosom”, the symbols of the ‘worm’ explore the downfall in
Third, would you agree to what William Sumner said that it was not the role of the government to improve the conditions of the working classes, the claim of some writers that employers treated workers as a mere commodity, Sumner also asserted, was “ludicrous” in the “cold light of reason?” After some reading all the sources I can say that conditions got worse then were fixed later, some workers did not like their jobs, and I do not agree with Sumner’s argument. In researching the first question, “do the working conditions appear to be approving or getting worse?” After looking through the sources it looks like the conditions get worse at first then when the government finally stepped in they are
“We think the problem has gotten worse, but that’s because our sensibilities have gotten more refined.” This quote could very well be the most solid evidence Steven Pinker has to offer to prove his point. Examples of this evidence could be seen absolutely everywhere in the world lately; the world has become hyperaware of things of sexist, racist, and offensive nature. What he is trying to say is that, today, any insignificant thing which proves to be even minimally violent, offensive, racist, or sexist, will be almost immediately attacked. In this quote, Steven
The “extra power” that Bernard is referring to is individuality. As much as the world controllers try to rob people of their individuality, this can’t be taken away easily. Another example comes from the caste system in Brave New World that the Alphas conditioned to identify with only one specific job. Each caste is identified with a specific color that they are assigned to wear. “Gammas are stupid.
It is an ideology that encourages the concept of doing things by any means necessary, ignoring the suffering of humans given the fact that at that time, humans were suffering in factories with dangerous machines, the demand for labor decreased immensely, and human unemployment increased. There is no justifying the suffering of humans and the “loss” of humanity; however this does not negate the fact that in general, liberal ideologies are more free and practical than anything else. It looks at one part of a huge discourse that can very well be solved. We are looking at the unemployment and danger to humans in regards to the innovations of machines, not liberalism as a whole. We have to understand that there was much room for improvement in that respect.
Licensing is supposed to create a boundary in separating people who know how to do the job from people who do not. Young (2002) argues that occupational licensing has many flaws. He stated that it raises prices and does not prove concretely that having a license insures better quality or safety. Also, the requirements usually do not insure “good practice.” The law places more attention to non-licensed practitioners than licensed practitioners who malpractice. Occupational Licensing requires schooling, courses, training, and other obstacles in order for people to practice their specialty.
Connor is very smug about his views of Terra Nullius and he believes there are mistakes that have been made throughout history that many historians are not aware of or choose to ignore. Connor makes a very bold statement when he says "until
Culture Appropriation After reading through the different articles and text, I’ve come to the conclusion that culture appropriation is basically not having enough thought to someone else’s culture. There is much confusion when it comes to the meaning of cultural appropriation. The literal meaning begins with Culture-Anthropological: the sum total of the attainments and learned behavior patterns of any specific period, race or people; Appropriation's meaning is to take for one's own use. It can be taken and used in many different ways, such as comical, offensive, or even just plain wrong. Me personally, I’ve found some funny but mostly it’s just offensive and lack in poor taste.
