Seen throughout various instances, individuals often envy those who have more money than themselves. This concept is clearly depicted in Edwin Arlington Robinson’s “Richard Cory”, as well as Paul Simon’s remake of that poem into a song also titled “Richard Cory”. The poem and the song are essentially about a rich man named Richard Cory, who is admired yet envied by the people of his town. Little do they know that later on, the man will take his own life, even though he was sought out to have the…
A prime example of what Nietzsche’s arguments and metaphors are referring to is mankind’s concept of time. There is always debate on whether time is a construct by humanity for the sake of convenience or if time is something that exists outside of our own personal perception of it. Like his concept of declaring something a mammal as bringing a truth to a limited light, we have declared time as something we can measure and perceive intelligently…
she is reading, which should help her fluency and comprehension. Another factor that Imani seemed to struggle with was inferencing. Inferencing is when you determine a fact or idea based on your life experiences. Imai seemed to struggle with this concept. In…
Making a video for marketing project can be difficult: getting students to participate, having a crystal clear concept to make an effective ad etc. Last year, I took a marketing management course where our teacher assigned the students a class project; the class project was about making a presentation and ad, coming up with our own brand name and packaging. Since it was a mega project for the whole class, it was difficult for everyone to even where to start from. Our teacher did give some hints…
Concept analysis means to define the condition of the science surrounding a concept of benefit. Concept analysis is interested in scientific literature. It does not consider fantasy, imagination, or interview information (Hupcey & Penrod, 2005). According to Penrod and Hupcey (2005), “concept analysis focuses on the integration of what is known. Concept advancement techniques actually move the state of the science forward through synthesis of new insight” (p. 233). Concept analysis concentrates…
Before I took this course, I was not partial to the word or thought of slacktivism. I thought it was another way of being lazy and not getting out and being a part of the movement. I have been heavily involved with volunteering throughout my life and understand the importance of being an activist and helping others in the time of need. However, I realized all along that I had been a slacktivist myself which was a shock. I then began to research the term as well as through the literature we have…
The mental representations of objects, relationships and concepts are called schemas. There are two different concepts in schemas: accommodation and assimilation. The difference between those two is that in accommodation the new information that we receive is inconsistent with the existing schemas. In that case our mind either changes or distorts or even ignores the new input, otherwise it changes the existing schemas by reconstructing a new meaning for the new information. On the other hand,…
that would focus on someone or something involving a lock and a key while expressing an emotion. This project wasn’t a solo project, but instead involved working with one other person. The lock and key could be metaphoric or literal and from that concept we had to tell a story in twelve to fifteen shots. Our idea was to convey a young musician finding the right “key” on his guitar and “unlock” the excitement (which was our assigned emotion) inside of him. I believe the project turned out…
student might learn something about themselves they never knew about. It teach them to improve their flaws. It is a good thing for student to see a different angle of punishment. This concept is important because this would impact our judgement. Some people might judge something or someone without even knowing them. This concept tells them to stop and look at it a different way, and have an open mind to what it is. It also is asking them to go beyond the project, it is testing them if they can…
supporting the claim. (Huemer 47-57) René Descartes holds the opposite opinion, which he discusses in ‘Meditations One and Two.’ While there is validity to both sides of the argument, Huemer’s essay proves to be more reliable after dissecting Descartes’ concepts of existence. Huemer proposes that no one can know anything about the external world, or anything that exists outside of the mind. It is impossible to be certain of how many fingers one has, or if surrounding objects are real or solely…
