unconstitutional, therefore, must be restricted
speech. Catherine A. MacKinnon, in her book Only

Disintegration of Dick Diver The exact nature of
Dick Divers descent throughout the course of
Tender is the Night is difficult to discern. It is
clear enough that his disintegration is occasioned
by Nicole's burgeoning independence, but why or
how her transformation affects him this way is

Black And White Time Travel

Chris Markers 1962 La Jete is one of the most
influential films of its time. The 28 -minute film
is almost entirely compiled of black and white
stills, supported by narrative throughout. Marker
expresses his desire to recreate and re-write
reality through exploring aspects of science
fiction such as futuristic apocalyptic events and
time travel; subjects that were not as widely
exploited then as they are today. Markers usage of
stills, haunting score and sparse narration

speak this way, Marx must have a conception of the
value of money as the ratio of labor time to value
added that permits him to translate labor time
into monetary units. When he makes remarks like
the second one he goes further and identifies this
value of money with the labor time embodied in a
certain quantity of gold. One result of Marx's

Camera Obscura Human Psychology

How do representations of space affect our
relationship to a place? To answer this question,
we should perhaps ask ourselves an equally
important question: how can we probe nature to
learn about it without changing it. By analyzing
this question using six main representational
themes cartographic, political, Cartesian
perspectivalism, optical, transcendental, and
biological we will answer the original question. I
believe that there are no representations of space
that would not in some way affec...

Decides What Is Good Religious Faith The Ethical God

Higher immediacy or religious faith is the most
important achievement made by a person because
only faith offers an individual to have a chance
to become a "true self." Self is what is done
throughout life which God judges for infinity.
Consequently, humans have a huge responsibility
because those decided choices in life constitute
the eternal salvation or damnation. With the
religious faith, the ethical and aesthetic are
needed to form it, that is why they can not be the
same. "Faith itself can...

Lao Tzu Death Opposites

Heidegger's Conceptual Essences: Being and the
Nothing, Humanism, and Technology Being and the
Nothing are the same. The ancient philosopher
Lao-tzu believed that the world entertains no
separations and that opposites do not actually
exist. His grounding for this seemingly
preposterous proposition lies in the fact that
because alleged opposites depend on one another
and their definitions rely on their differences,
they cannot possibly exist without each other.
Therefore, they are not actually op...
