Explain how Hatshepsut justified her claim to the throne. (15 marks) During her reign, Hatshepsut justified her claim to the throne in several ways. Unlike her predecessors, Hatshepsut was the first pharaoh of her dynasty to claim divine intervention in her birth. This supported her claim as gods Amun’s daughter on the throne. Another method she used was the coronation inscriptions and oracles which stressed her right to the throne as she was placed there by her father Thutmose 1 and the god Amun-Re.
John Locke is greatly influencing philosopher in the history. His arguments regarding human being play a key role in triggering Enlightenment movement in western societies. His assets that God gave human the intellectual and rational, thus, Locke claims that each human being is precious value. John Locke argues “Natural Law”, “State of War’ and “Social Contract”. Natural Law means that all human being has three natural rights which are “life, liberty and estates” which are sum up with property.
I value rationality over sensibility. I believe that the universal rules apply to everyone and the best results are achieved through consistency. According to the Ethics game “Your Blind Spot: Belief that motive justifies the method.” Because I am so sure for my reasons for acting, I tend to believe that the motive justifies the method. I may
The humanistic approach has been praised for its great emphasis on autonomy, the idea that we have control over everything we do. The approach also emphasises positivity and is immensely positive about human nature. Therefore it is no surprise that one of the main assumptions of humanism is that we are involved in life as opposed to being an abstraction to it. Humanistic psychologists also believe that all people have a strive towards self actualisation, a state in which we are at peace with the world and ourselves. Maslow presented the idea of the hierarchy of needs, a table that describes how one passes through stages in their life to become self actualised.
I found that I can relate to Albert Ellis and his Rational Emotive Behavior Theory (REBT.) I can relate to Ellis and his theory because it is a cognitive approach to therapy, which I strongly agree with. REBT is based on the belief that people are born with a potential for irrational or rational– thinking (Jones-Smith, 2012). I have always believed this about people, which is also why I can relate to this theory. I can also relate to Ho’s theory of internalized culture, which suggests that the formations of our worldviews are influenced by eternalized culture (Jones-Smith, 2012).
In creating a majestic artwork, it is often the artist who imposes certain molding so that the craft will appear according to the message the artist wants to convey. He performs every stroke and every pinch considering the objects future form and the thoughts that will soon linger amongst the gazers. However, sculptress, Julie Lluch took her dedication to artistry to a very personal level. She permitted the medium to have its way of expressing its views about the world. Thus, Thinking Nude encompassed the qualities of a truly individualistic opus.
Montaigne: An Expert in Argument Montaigne’s “Of Cannibals” uses a myriad of thoughts and facts to teach the audience a moral lesson and pass along the narrator’s perception of the current Western Worlds trends. Montaigne writes his essay in such a way that the context is still relevant in society hundreds of years later. The allegory and use of prominent Western writers of literature provided the basis of his argument, that love and valor, are in simplest forms, the common denominator amongst all people, which would create a good society. Montaigne succeeds in gaining the attention of the reader by using many different manipulative techniques. Whether the reader finished the essay and finds themselves aligned with his position is one thing; the fact that Montaigne is able to create a forum for discussion and debate following his essay, even hundreds of years later, is a fact and certainly worth discussing, as his modes for delivering his position are genius.
Just as Sprite's advertising campaign claimed, "image is everything" in modern society. Image is perception is acceptance, if someone perceives your image in a way which is acceptable to them then they will either have that image already created of themselves or create that image for themselves through imitation. We look to at our
Michael Leunig the author of ‘The Lot’ addresses the consequences and result of an individual conforming to society and ‘following the pack’. Through television, magazines and marketed goods, the media is used as the primary channel to present the individual with their vision of the objective truth and reality. The main appeal is ‘beauty’ or ‘attractiveness’, which is addressed in ‘Thou shalt be attractive’ in the Lot. Leunig highlights the contrasted pressures inflicted on people to conform to society’s perception of beauty, and that examples of ‘what you should constantly look like’ are constantly in front of us, and rule our lives-“like a
Psychoanalytic criticism judges art “as the product of individuals who are shaped by their pasts, unconscious urges and social histories.” Structuralism judges artwork based on how all of its formal components are put together. Last is post-structuralist, which still judges artwork by its formal parts but takes many meanings out of it. I find psychoanalytic criticism to be most valuable. This is because the viewer can assign any meaning to the artwork. It allows the people to escape reality and find out the deeper meaning of the piece of art.
