State Of Man Nuclear Missile
1,014 wordsCan intellectual advancement lead to a general regression in our existence? Both Rousseau and Virilio deal with this question, but in very different ways. Rousseau examines this question in the broadest sense, by back tracking to the origin of intellect. Virilio, on the other hand, speaks of a very specific type of intellectual advancement, namely-the invention of a long range nuclear missile. Both would agree that intellectual progression can be advantageous to the human race, but whether or no...

George W Bush Presidential Candidate
758 wordsThe two major party presidential candidates this election cycle are indeed a paradigm of paradox: on one hand is a man who knows little yet is likeable, on the other is one who can explain chlorofluorocarbon formation while tackling environmental foreign policy in a debate. Which candidate is worthy of the vote? The leading Presidential contender, according to dubious late-election cycle polls, is George W. Bush.

Coca Cola Sensual Pleasure
1,790 wordsIn Utilitarianism, J. S. Mill was trying to show that "actions and institutions should increase the overall amount of happiness in the world", and stressed the importance of utilitarianism as the first principle in ethics, to which any ambiguities with second principles such as 'do not kill' may appeal. In this discussion, it is first of all necessary to examine what Mill meant by each of these statements in isolation, before going on to explore how he attempts to reconcile these two statements....

Coy Mistress Writing Process
1,740 wordsFew would argue that on the surface level of Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress" the speaker is a lover advancing a conventional 'carpe diem' line of thought. He systematically reasons with his desired object about the futility of delaying their interlude when the hours available to them are limited, but the lyric may simultaneously function as a metaphor for Marvel's endeavors as a metaphysical poet. Metaphysical writers view poetry as an intellectual exercise, an opportunity to develop ideas in a l...

Biography Of Mary Shelley Author Frankenstein

Political Aspects Of The Love Song Alfred Prufrock
1,724 wordsPolitical aspects of The Love Song of Alfred Prufrock The poem The Love Song of Alfred Prufrock by Thomas Sterns Eliot can be considered as the ultimate expression of metaphysical decadence, in the form of intellectual symbolism. Many critics analyze this poem out of historical or political context, which prevents them from understanding the essence of Eliot's message. The Love Song of Alfred Prufrock reveals the mindset of the typical representative of third generation. In order for us to reali...

Orwell is presenting the world of 1984 as a satiric statement of what might come to pass, though of course its exact form could never be predicted, if the world did not become aware of the terrible problems facing it, not in 1984, but here and now. Orwell wrote the novel not as a prediction, but as a warning. He believed that in many ways society was regress...
