Waltz

The paradigms themselves are like fossils and the scholars who write within these paradigms are like dinosaurs. Fossils cannot be formed until long after the dinosaur has passed. The same is true of the paradigms, men like Waltz may be considered the father of structural realism, but it was not until after he was done writing that people could classify his theory. Furthermore, it will not be for a long time until the international relations scholars will be able to look back and see the effects…

Waltz of the Wallflowers This is a free verse poem written in the poetry sweatshop method. I opened a dictionary to a random page, which contained words that began with “wa,” including waltz, wallop, wallow, wallflower, wallpaper, wamble, waning, and wander, which I used to create the poem. As this method is meant to create alliteration, I extended it to include other words beginning with W, such as whispers, wary, and wassailers, as well as alliteration with T sounds in the sixth line, with…

enough to bring shoes, I was barefoot, as per usual. I never minded, though. The prickling of concrete on my feet was my punishment for bringing this misery upon myself, but at the same time reminded me I was still alive, still fighting. Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers created the soundtrack to my release. The song that had been a favorite of mine since I was six years old had taken on a much deeper significance. When I performed my first Nutcracker, I remembered watching from the wings as…

A post traumatic expert described in the film, Waltz with Bahir, a story about a photographer. He looked through his lens and took photos of the horrendous events of war. Only until his camera broke did the photographer freak out realizing what type of environment he was in. Mental illness is a consequence of war. This photographer freaked out instantly, while for others it takes a trip home, or some other catalyst to trigger their breakdown. The photographer used his camera to control the…

Kenneth Waltz was one of the most highly regarded political theorists of our time. He is fondly remembered for his contribution in the form of major works to the field of International Relations- Man, the State and War (1959), Theory of International Politics (1979) and The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: More May be Better (1981). However, his greatest legacy to the field of International Politics was his study that facilitated the revival/resurrection of realism. Realism is the objective study of…

Mark Morris’s piece “The Hard Nut”, specifically “Waltz of the Snowflakes”, is a satire of The Nutcracker, The Waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairies. Morris succeeds in creating an original updated version that is a little cynical, a little romantic and a little funny all at the same time. His version jumps off the pages of a pastel colored comic book inspired by Charles Burns and really tries to land as far away from “the Box” as possible. But at the same time, still keep the succinct execution of…

exertion of much effort or without use of psychological techniques, intentionally discard a memory or set of memories based on solely preference. A good example of this persistence and it’s meaning for the (sake of this paper) is seen in particular in Waltz with Bashir, Folman cannot discard (one can infer he would discard the night terror memory, that…

In international politics there are there are “two predictable, and nearly always mistaken, responses to any great international upheaval: one is to say that everything has changed; the other is to say that nothing has changed.” Theorist of international politics are generally found in one of two camps; those who believe that state relations and behaviors today are consistent with those found during the time of Thucydides and those who believe that everything has changed. The various views…

The poem “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke describes a scene that a father comes back from work, with a whisky breath, dances and plays together with his son, and then the father takes the son up to bed. According to the title, the tone of word “papa” is more innocent than “father”. It 's a baby-talk word that shows that this is a poem based on speaker’s childhood memory. It gives readers a feeling that the speaker loves and misses his father very much. In another way, I think the speaker is…
