Yiddish 3399 Abrar Samad Final Paper How Can One Shape the Direction of Their Memory One of the most critical element in the novel Multidirectional Memory by Philip Rothberg is the fact memory, in most cases is not a situation where a gain in one side entails a corresponding loss to the other side and that if the public pays attention to one historical event, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are forgetting about another historical event (Marcuse). Rothberg says, “….they actually use the presence of widespread holocaust consciousness as a platform to articulate a vision of American racism past and present” (Rothberg, 2). He is trying to articulate how the awareness of the holocaust has increased the attentiveness towards racism. He talks about the potential for different memories to act positively for each other instead of being competitive and different memories in fact can reinforce each other thus eliminating the idea of competition between memories. Rothberg stated that, “recognizing the multidirectionality of memory encourages us to pay close attention to the circulation of historical memories in encounters whose meanings are complex and overdetermined…”(Rothberg, 179).

In the article “The Framers and the People” by Alfred F. Young, he investigates and explains the appropriate assists that emerged from the writing of the Constitution. Young examines the logic behind the Constitution and attempted to discover why it was not extensively biased towards the authors that created it; white, investing men. He also takes an insight towards the assertion that the Constitution would be in honor to those who wrote it, and attempts to understand an alternative statement for why the pre-writers said that the Constitution did not indeed, favor themselves. Some may believe that the logic had for writing this article was to understand and offer different perspectives to the audience One of the main conflicts throughout the article which the author makes clear is that the Constitution was not only reported to appease the call of the time, but to benefit society for many years to come. Alexander Hamilton was an early proposal maker who created and followed a plan of action, in which the bulk of the satisfactory needs of the people would therefor be
He uses Clyde Kuckhohn’s Mirror of Man, a work he believes is a good general introduction to anthropology, as a basis to describe his own view. He believes that Kluckhohns definition of culture as “the total way of life of a people”, is slightly constricted and does not represent the complete picture. He sees the concept of culture as predominately a semiotic one. Semiotic being the study of signs and sign processes. Geertz sees culture as “webs of significance” and the analysis of these webs.
IN this same article he states how he is a ethnographer who uses Gilbert Ryle's idea of thick description. He uses Ryles idea of “winx vs twitches” to explain how its in ethnographers job to not only state the facts but also to interpret these ideas into meanings of structure in a culture. He states how his ideas are linked to that of Max Weber who believes that humans create “webs of significance” and that these webs create meaning. Clifford Geertz explains how he believes culture is semiotic in that it is a public act people use to express themselves using symbols that have prescribed cultural meaning. In “deep play:notes on balinese cockfighting” Geertz explains how he became fluent in the language and gained trust with the people once he ran away from the cops when they came to end a fight.

What is Memory? Are memories the creations of our inner self? Can it be that it is our memories and our experiences that define us as humans? In his book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks creates a collection of studies to share with his readers about what it is to be human and the meaning of life. This book is a collection of cases, that clearly demonstrates the importance of past experiences and memories, and how the human mind can serve as both a map and a compass that can lead one to find themselves regardless of how concrete or abstract the mind can be.
Lastly, Cultural Relativists often argue that it is mere arrogance for us to judge the conduct of other societies, and that we should adopt an attitude of tolerance toward the practices of other cultures. Although it may be a display of arrogance to judge the conduct of other societies, it is sometimes necessary to do so and convey disagreement when the situation arises. Given these revised interpretations of the 5 claims commonly made by Cultural Relativists, individuals and cultures ought to be guided by a revised philosophy known as Centralized Cultural Relativism, where societies may have different moral codes, but they all inherit certain properties from a parent code, which is influenced by factors including human biology, physiology, and what is necessary for a society to
The Eyes of the Skin and The Thinking Hand by Juhani Pallasmaa are two intriguing books, which explore the human senses and how the senses’ phenomenological qualities provide an existential understanding of oneself and mankind. Pallasmaa would argue that the conscious process of exploration through one’s senses could provide this existential outlet and inlet. As opposed to Howard Risatti, in a theory of craft, Richard Sennett’s The Craftsman appears to be more in line with Pallasmaa’s idea of processing through experimenting. To begin with, Pallasmaa focuses a large portion of both texts on the exploration of the senses; in the way they interact with each other as well as the spaces they inhabit, or objects they encounter. He is opposed to the idea of the separation of the senses.
