corruption, greed, and evil of the white man. Even when knowledge would seem to counteract lines of hatred, the enlightenment only provides a striking reminder of the inescapable darkness that can still reside in the hearts of man.

In the Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad sheds light on how ignorance destroys the balance between nature and culture. To the white man, the natives of Africa are animals. Raymond

In Chapter 5, titled “The Hereditarian Theory of IQ”, Gould addresses the idea that the average intelligence quotient (IQ) of an individual is strictly based on their hereditary.

The exploration of this “dual identity” is truly the main aspect of what Stevenson tries to convey towards his readers. This thriller portrays the uphill battle Jekyll faces as he fights the inherent evil nature of man, the multiplex personality that

authority over literally everything, but he soon imbues a similar authority into newly created Man by giving him “dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth” (Genesis 1:26). Man, in this instance, can be taken as emblematic of humankind in general, as the proclamation of Man’s dominion occurs at a very early stage of Creation, when Man still consists of only one individual. As Genesis moves farther in time, it redefines Creation with

I will be advancing an argument on the early representations of Sarah Baartman in comparison to her representation in our modern society, beginning in the course of the early eighteenth century. In my research, I will use Sarah Baartman as a means of showing how medical and scientific discourses work to construct images of sexual and racial differences. After her death in in 1815, her body was given to the comparative anatomist, Georges Cuvier, who dissected and preserved the body as an object of
The Justification of Science What does the average person think when they hear that an idea is supported by science? Often, it makes people assume that this idea must be objectively true, and will necessarily be more right than a theory that doesn’t have the backing of “science.” While in many cases, objective science really does produce better results than mere conjecture, there have also been influential movements in history that were justified by “science,” but which we see today as unjustifiable
