Comparative religion

The smells from the campfire dance through the young tribe members nostrils as they gather around one another eager to hear another tale. African slaves come to sing Negro spiritual songs passed down from generation to generation. Asian woman combine forces to discuss what women were once allowed to do. The pride, the tears, the stories and experiences of what used to be, that is culture. And every beating heart, every eager soul, every smile and every frown are common characteristics that we…

thinking wrong. Trade is not as simple as “I have a cookie and you have a juice box, let’s switch”. There are many other factors involved, especially at the national level. Things such as opportunity cost, factors of production, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and the list goes on. So let’s take a closer look at this action we probably commit every day and let’s understand it a little better. To start off with, what is trade? Trade, as google defines…

sketch I have concluded that although Darwin’s contributions to psychology are not always acknowledged, most psychologists would agree with many of his findings. If I wanted to further this research, I would analyze his contributions and impacts on comparative psychology. Keywords: Charles Darwin, psychology, evolution of instinct, evolution of mind, expressions of emotion, darwinism  Charles Darwin observed that “[his] mind seems…

The calling for gold is actually the hidden calling for Milkman’s hero’s journey “Road of Trial” (Campbell). Milkman’s hero journey started out as a quest looking for gold, but instead he encounters trials that ultimately brought him to a higher stage of mind. On his trip to the Deep South, Milkman encounters “a series of tests, tasks, or ordeal that the person [hero] must undergo to begin the transformation. Often the person fails one or more of these tests” (Campbell). Furthermore, the…

Joseph Campbell, in his book chapter “The Self as Hero,” argues how all heroes go through similar, if not the same, stages on the way to complete their journey. He supports his claim by citing evidence from classic literary tales like “The Princess and the Frog” and “When the Two Came to their Father” and appealing to pathos and logos. Campbell’s purpose is to educate readers on how most hero stories follow the same path and can influence and be influenced by the public, who can learn from the…

trade (Stiglitz & Charlton). Free trade is intrinsically unfair as long as there are discrepancies between the countries involved. Two countries can gain from free trade even when their absolute advantages are disproportionate by exploiting their comparative advantages (Lecture). Thus, countries will overall benefit from unrestricted trade in spite of the minor losses that may incur during specialization…

Joseph Campbell was a scholar who studied ancient mythology for many years. He came up with the idea of the Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey says that all the heroes will come across many processes throughout their journey. Each of the processes gets the hero closer to his/her prize. Perhaps I am not a hero, but I have experienced many things on leaving my home state and coming to a foreign one. My life as a kid is just like Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey because I have had to leave my…

Joseph Campbell, an American mythologist, writer,and lecturer, created a theory called the Monomyth; “The hero is the same, but the costume changes,” is the idea he used to create this. The Monomyth, also known as the cycle of the Hero’s Journey, essentially states that the storyline remains the constant and follows the same 11 stages. An example of the Monomyth theory is Matt Alacran’s journey in House of the Scorpion, in which he goes through all the stages of the Hero’s Journey, including…

All works of literature and art entwine in a common thread that connects the stories by a universal and malleable outline- the Hero’s Journey. Joseph Campbell’s the Hero’s Journey, or the monomyth, applies to all stories to some degree through its 17-stages. The stages divide into 3 major components- separation (the Call to Adventure), initiation (the Trials), and return (the Aftermath and the Return)- that can pertain to individual journeys of self-actualization or endeavors of resolving…
