Supreme Court Highly Technical
1,955 words... one of my resources (Bautista in Sibayan 1999) said that Filipino, at its present state of development, unfortunately could not be used as a language register in Philippine law. That is a sad presumption. Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago (interview, 2003) offered her assessments regarding the three assumptions language shift, fair interpretation (appreciation) of law and preservation of nationalism. The idea of Filipino being the measure of nationalism is an obsolescence that used to be valid i...

Shakespeare Has Created Atmosphere Of Evil Macbeth
1,017 wordsScene 1 of Act 4 is certainly one of the most visually impacting and intriguing scenes of the entire play. This strong effect is attained by the sequential presentation of mysterious images and a close reference to evil throughout the whole scene. On stage, the visual (the actions and apparitions) and audible (the speech and sound effects as the thunder) factors engulf the entire scene in an atmosphere of wickedness. We must first consider the stage directions that indicate the location were the...

Sula Toni Morrison Poetic Language
1,984 wordsAccording to Aldous Huxley, the life of any epoch can only be synthesised by poets: Encyclopaedias and guides to knowledge cannot do it, for the good reason that they affect only the intellectual surface of a mans life. The lower layers, the core of his being, they leave untouched. 1 I like this, particularly the idea of the intellectual surface - a mere surface, with much beyond it - and combined with Jacobson's aforementioned theory, I take this as my starting point: the idea that poetic langu...

Merriam Webster Constantly Changing
607 wordsWith the world population today at 6. 3 billion (population reference bureau 2003) we all come from different countries that hold different cultures and religions and valuing different ideas and ways of living. The word value comes from middle English, from middle French, from (assumed) vulgar Latin valuta, from feminine of values, past participle of Latin val Ere to be worth, be strong (Merriam Webster 2003). In my interpretation meaning that values are ideas and ways of thinking that we feel a...

Garden Of Eden Kubla Khan
1,336 wordsKubla Khan, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is one of the most enigmatic and ambiguous pieces of literature ever written. Allegedly written after a laudanum (an opiate) induced dream, the author claims to have been planning a two hundred to three hundred line poem before he got interrupted by a man from Pollock, after which he had forgotten nearly all of his dream. This may have been merely an excuse, and the poem was scorned at the time for having no poetic value, one critic even going so far as to...

Critical Theory Western Philosophy
1,309 wordsDiscovering hypertext radically altered my perspective and perception of Jacques Derrida's work. Derrida's writing was not unfamiliar to me before this event but the texts were often difficult to read or un graspable.

I really wanted this man (whom I knew hardly anything about) to get his honorary doctorate and shove it right up the establishments derrire. I duly...

Mother And Father Red Meat
870 wordsDismembered dolls and burning felines are not scenes one would usually associate with a child's playroom, that is, not unless having read the poem "Scenes from the Playroom" by R. S. Gwynn. This poem tells the story of a day in the life of an affluent family, but is the reader getting the whole story, or as the title suggests, just a "scene?" The poem opens with a scene one would expect to see in a playroom: "Lucy with her family of dolls" (Line 1). The author conveys nothing out of the ordinary...

Mind And Body Cartesian Dualism
2,324 words... for reasons I gave earlier and is based on Descartes's definition of mind as having no language of its own: it is that which does not pertain to matter. For Descartes mind is the realm of free will, the sphere of soul, of the Church. There were a lot of philosophical and theological - i. e. cultural - reasons in the seventeenth century why it was defined in that way. In Individuals P. F. Strawson shows, I think utterly persuasively, that you can think about minds only in a language which con...
