The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery. Even with such advanced politics and thought, a class distinction still persisted, and though they had seen the benefit of all this technology, there were those in the upper class who felt it was beneath them to use such tools in any way. T Innovation was of great value to both the Han and Romans. The Han placed a higher attribution to culturally relevant creators. For example, Huan Tan, an upper-class Han philosopher wrote in New Discourses (Document III) of an emperor of myth inventing and refining the pestle and mortar for all people.
Sell2 This seems unrealistic when compared against a historical world view especially how Western Cultures revere marriage. A happy marriage is defined differently in every culture. Only recently have sexual and emotional needs become emphasized. Compared to a historical world view, this type of love is acceptable. Political and economic motives have far outweighed many other rational for marriage.
Most people have a basic understanding of obedience; however, many may fail to see the application and the impact of it in their own lives and in our society. Submission into conformity discourages the type of independence that is valued in our supposedly free-thinking world. Censorship is one of the major themes in Fahrenheit 451, and its impact is illustrated through submission in appearance, behavior and thought. This invites us to draw clear relationships between Ray Bradbury‘s novel and our current society. The association between appearance and social acceptance is already apparent in our lives.
My reaction to this chapter is one that is mildly surprised. I found it interesting that “escape was easier than rebellion,” (Zinn 46). Apparently, the air was heavily charged with rumor of rebellion and revolt (something I think would work well for an espionage novel). I thought it was interesting how the white workers really put their heart and soul into getting a better life. This chapter made me start to see another side of the multifaceted history of the United States, one that wasn’t focused on equality for African Americans or women, but one that was focused on equality among common men.
Why do people label and group other people? We label and group other people in order to give them a distinct identity in the society we are in. I believe we label them or mentally sort them into a certain group so that we know how to act around them. It's something most people do automatically to simplify their social interactions. Labeling and grouping other people usually only becomes a problem when we label and group someone incorrectly in a negative manner, which is what most of us associate stereotypes with.
Some rhetorical devices Jefferson uses are so subtle that the average reader does not recognize them as obvious forms of rhetoric. The audience is only left with the powerful message that he intended to convey. Alliteration, one of the simplest devices he uses is fairly subtle yet effective in creating mood or tone through out the Declaration. In breaking down the phrase “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” the words “Life” and “Liberty” sort of roll off the tongue together. This could be applied to make a point that life and liberty are one in the same; that with life comes a given freedom, and the right to pursue ones own happiness is branched under that freedom.
Neil Postman’s Assertion Neil Postman contrasts George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World to express that Huxley’s vision of society is more accurate today than Orwell’s. His point by point argument of the two novels explains the differences between how each author sees society. Orwell warned that society will be over powered by an exterior enforced oppression, while Huxley believed that people would like the oppression because new technologies will be created because of the oppression and people will no longer have to think for themselves. Postman’s assertion that Huxley’s vision is more applicable in today’s world seems more logical than Orwell’s vision. Postman uses a point-by-point argument to prove that Huxley’s vision is more relevant than Orwell’s.
These opinions forced upon generation after generation causes these misconceptions of how certain groups actually interact, thus beginning a cycle of conformity through people’s opinions. Although these views can appear to be slightly true at times, it can be an in just approach to characterize people based on what society believes is normal for that race, sex, or any other type of group. Stereotypes may change with time and society, but the conformist idea behind the ways people characterize others continue in a direction towards a misreading of social, gender, or any other types of
I think that in front of people espacially those who doesn’t know me I will be just judged about things I say because obviously they don’t know my personality and what I am really thinking about so I usually try to speak in a way that allows to people to have a good impression about my character espacially in first contacts and meetings. 6-As a group they tend to be highly individualistic; moderate in context; low in power ,rank , and status; and high in masculinity. For me working alone is much better than in groups .I feel more confortable I can be more creative and innovative , no body will judge my choice or ask me why I made a such decision. I don’t prefer share my ideas with others .I think that is better that everybody is responsible about his thoughts.Therefore while I get obliged to work in groups my effort will decrease and it doesn’t matter for me to just accept others ideas . 7-As a group African Americans are active, expressive , colorful, emotional, often humorous, more nonverbal, distinctive,stylized, open, demonstrative,and possses a positive outlook on life.
As the question states, there are other types of judgement, such as political, legal, and social; in this context therefore one needs to juxtapose aesthetics judgement against these. Another key feature of judgements that the question poses is the fact that it is easy to differentiate between aesthetic and all other types; is this really so? The penultimate and ultimate concepts to be delimited are traditional and modern aesthetics. Traditional aesthetics, purported to have the real definition of Art; that is Traditional Aesthetics
