In conclusion, people should express their own personality and style without, being forced to convert to a new country’s national culture. Forcing an immigrant to change culture, language, and religion is against the 1st amendment and should not be broken based on our founding father’s laws. Forcing a non-resident to adapt to a new country is morally wrong and should not be allowed. Being an immigrant, this will be extremely hard on being unique. Even if someone is less fortunate and was born in a third world country, it doesn't make it any better if you force them to learn your culture and
A second challenge of Hume is that we are able to possibly imagine that something can cause itself into existence. This challenge severely weaken's Aquinas argument from cause as it suggests that in fact there is no need for a fist cause as regress of cause and effect is disrupted. Anscombe's response to Hume is, in "When there is a beginning there must be a cause: Hume's argument exposed," that it may be possible to imagine this being the case but it is illogical to suppose that this is the case as it is a "contradiction to absurdity" to decide that "it could be" therefore "it is." It is similar to imagine that a magician may be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat without any prior knowledge of its existence but to suppose it is the case that this has happened is illogical. However modern theoretical and quantum physicists have begun to produce evidence that it is perhaps evident that energy has the ability to come into existence of its own accord which would
Another interesting point is that the encomienda grant did not give the Spaniard the right to exercise any political authority over the Indians. However, these distinctions were very difficult to enforce, because there was an ocean between the rulers making the laws and the colonists in charge of the natives. As time went on, the conquerors of New Spain came to expect the encomiendas as their reward, so the practice became an institution and eventually became tradition to divide new
In fact, while it was never expected for the Philippines to be able to hold out indefinitely against the Japanese forces, with the forces available to MacArthur, as well as the warning of the start of the conflict, American forces should have been able to make a better account for themselves. General MacArthur, through his failure to execute the Rainbow 5 plan when
The purpose of this text is almost impossible to determine for sure, however I believe it is trying to encourage readers to look beyond their own ordinary lives and consider what they might be like from a different perspective. More specifically, what it might be like for immigrants coming to our country and having to adjust to our culture. When it comes to target audience, I do not believe that this text was directed toward any specific age or social group. It’s very accessible for readers of all cultures due to it lack of cultural specificity; it also has a wide range of components which appeal to all ages. The biggest, most predominant issue being addressed in this text seems to be immigration.
Therefore the use of the strange situation developed in America and then used on other cultures with no understanding of that culture, i.e. its views on independence and importance/role given to other family members in childrearing is an example of an imposed ethic. This means that the strange situation technique has not has not been adapted for the culture in which is being used and so has limitations. Rothbaum argues that there is a problem with the sensitivity hypothesis. He argues that Bowlby and Ainsworth promote the view that secure attachment was related to caregiver responsiveness and sensitivity, however, this is a Western idea of autonomy, whereas in Japan, sensitivity is about promoting dependence rather than independence.
Second, he argues that it is only by virtue of something being sentient that it can be said to have interests at all, so this places sentience in a different category than the other criteria: "The capacity for suffering and enjoying things is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be satisfied before we can speak of interests in any meaningful way" (175). That is, Singer is trying to establish that if a being is not sentient, the idea of extending moral consideration to it makes no sense. This negative argument is important, because one common criticism of Singer is that his criterion ends up excluding humans who are no longer sentient (like those in an irreversible coma); Singer is content to accept that consequence, but it is important that he show why the exclusion of some humans by his criterion is not problematic, given that he has criticized other criteria
Would you risk leaving the familiar, all that you know, and all that you have ever perceived and loved, to satisfy your need of truth? One’s quest to seek and understand would certainly vary from individual to individual, since no one holds the same views on life or may even be remotely curious to what may or may not be beyond them.
No-one, nevertheless, can join whatever belongings he wants owing to the fact that limited resources such as time and money. Then there arises a need to choose the options which is more suitable or more comfortable for their situation and life style. The optional belonging is another critical factor to choose who will be the allies and who will be the enemies. And there remains also the majority whose believes are completely different and conflict with yours and they will try to assert their identity to you. People who share the same allegiance sympathize; they all gather together, join forces, encourage one another and challenge the other side.
Belonging Essay 2009 HSC- “Understanding nourishes belonging… a lack of understanding prevents it” Demonstrate how your prescribed text and ONE other related text of your own choosing represent this interpretation of belonging. When we begin to understand the world around us, the people in it and their values, one can begin to feel a sense of belonging. However, due to the fact that the concept of belonging is dynamic one can also possess a lack of understanding and this often becomes a barrier to becoming accepted in a group or community. In the Immigrant Chronicle by Feliks Skrzynecki the concept of migrants moving from one country to another is explored and thus when they arrive at their new country they lack a sense of understanding.
