If the collective values of the eighties were symbolized by the hard body, as Susan Jeffords asserts in her 1994 article, Hard Bodies: Hollywood in the Reagan Era, then surely the nineties can be represented by the sharp mind. The Hollywood heroes o...

2002 A Href Song Of Roland
1,908 wordsMusic has been a powerful force throughout history. Its power has affected all aspects of peoples lives. The ideas and attitudes people have toward their country can easily be seen in their music.

The origin of all music is cultural (Nettl 940). Folk songs tell a s...

Critique Of Marxian Economics
1,228 wordsJon Elster concluded his Making Sense of Marx with the claim that It is not possible today, morally or intellectually, to be a Marxist in the traditional sense (1985, p. 531). Acceptance of this statement depends, of course, on what is meant by traditional Marxism. Elster makes it clear that what he means by traditional Marxism is that intellectually bankrupt and non-scientific economic theory associated with the labor theory of value, the theory of the falling rate of profit, and the most impor...

World War 2 Noam Chomsky
756 wordsPerhaps Noam Chomsky best summed up the French sentiment toward World War 2 when he said, 'History hath triumphed over time, which besides it nothing but eternity hath triumphed over. ' (Herotodus 92) Although it was not clear in 1940, we now know that World War 2 was actually a monumental conspiracy by the French lower-class in their attempt to distract its citizens from the democracy of the New Historicism movement. This claim is supported by three moving facts: the Italian Declaration of 1777...
