Baudelaire and Rimbaud use their intense literary works to criticize the bourgeoisie time period. Many changes were taking place during this time period. The Second Industrial Revolution was occurring and the economy was changing. The bourgeoisie people represented the middle class that became more politically and economically powerful. They demonized the lower classes by promoting their own culture and ways of living. Bourgeois women became emblems of family’s wealth and morality. They stayed at home, were modest, obedient, and their husbands could afford to pamper them. There was also an economic and social transformation in speed and sale of goods during this time period. Hand production switched to machine production and there was a higher concentration of factory workers in the cities. New machinery processes and trade unions increased. Baudelaire and Rimbaud use various ways to criticize this time period and all the changes that were changing society.
In Baudelaire’s “To the Reader” and “A Carcass”, intense and vulgar symbolism and imagery are used to level at the 19th century bourgeois society. His poem, “To the Reader”, was written as a preface to “Flowers of Evil”. Not only is this a collection of his poems, but the title has a deeper meaning. A flower has elegant petals, a stem, and roots that make up a complete flower. The flower petals are what a person can see with their own eyes, but the petals stem from the roots that are underground. When analyzing “To the Reader”, the opening stanzas represent the flower petals and the corruption of the people. The central stanzas represent the root stem of the flower, which feeds into the people’s decadence. Lastly, the final stanzas represent the root of the flower. The root is...

... and his desire to go back to the way things used to be, not the bourgeoisie style of living. The boat becoming “drunk” represents people becoming immune to falling into the status quo of this new lifestyle. The Bourgeoisie people were taking over and people were giving in. Rimbaud is criticizing this time period by comparing people to the voyage of the drunken boat. The lower class was losing its objective sight and was falling into an immoral state of living. In the end, the drunken boat wants to die instead of going on in a visionary lie. This represents the people. People were becoming bored and hopeless in thinking they would gain power and overcome the Bourgeoisie. In a sense, they wanted to simply “die” and give in to this life style. Overall, Rimbaud’s imagery, symbolic poetry criticize the bourgeoisie society and the desire to break away from their culture.
The setting in both Lord of the Flies and I Only Came to Use the Phone contributes to the dehumanization of the characters in each of the readings. The settings are both isolated, which is the cause of all the chaos that takes place because when you take a human being out of the comfort of society, they go back to their natural animalistic tendencies in order to survive. Survival of the fittest is present in these quotes. Also, the island archetype plays a huge role in both of the stories.
For task two I will be analyzing video under the generalist heading and under the subheading Integrating Mathematics and Science number 142. The video is of a third grade classroom conducting an experiment about different types of soil. They are to test which types absorb more water and which how fast the water goes through the water. The first instructional strategy the teacher mentions changing is that at first she had the groups into more of a homogeneous grouping where the higher achievers were paired with the lower achievers, but the teacher observed that the higher achievers were doing the majority of the work. The teacher decided to make the groups into more of a heterogeneous grouping where the pairs were closer to the same achievement
In the novel, Hamid also explores Changez’s relationship with Erica as a metaphor of the challenges faced by South Asian Americans in their efforts to assimilate and “become” American through one, the morning after Changez came down for breakfast, he and Erica were the only two there and so they had a conversation. In their conversation, Erica asked him about his home life in Pakistan, to which Changez replied,
The 1960s was a period well remembered for all the civil rights movements that occurred during that time frame and the impact these movements had on the social and political dynamics of the United States. The three largest movements that were striving in the 1960s were the African American civil rights movement, the New Left movement and the feminist movement. These three movements were in a lot of ways influenced by each other and were very similar in terms of their goals and strategies. However, within each of these movements there were divisions in the way they tried to approach the issues they were fighting against. Looking at each of these movements individually will reveal the relationship they all share as well as the changes that were brought forth as a result of each groups actions.
With this in mind, some perspective on the society of that time is vital. During this time the industrial revolution is taking place, a massive movement away from small farms, businesses operated out of homes, small shops on the corner, and so on. Instead, machines are mass-producing products in giant factories, with underpaid workers. No longer do people need to have individual skills. Now, it is only necessary that they can keep the machines going, and do small, repetitive work. The lower working class can no longer live a normal life following their own pursuits, but are lowered to working inhumane hours in these factories. This widens the gap between the upper and lower class-called bourgeois and proletariat-until they are essentially two different worlds. The bourgeois, a tiny portion of the population, has the majority of the wealth while the proletariat, t...
The Colonial Period (1607-1775) was essentially the first literary movement in America. The ideas portrayed within the period were expressed with two main styles of writing; Puritan and Classical. The puritan style was heavily influenced by God and the puritan's way of life. It was often short and too the point, and referred to ordinary things. The Classical Style was usually used to express analysis, theory, and practice. This style was delivered in a way that it would influence the audience. "Huswifery", by Edward Taylor offers a great example of the use of the Puritan style. He used a spinning wheel, and ordinary object, to compare his relationship to God. He tried to compare his feelings in an ordinary way that followed the puritan style, just like Anne Bradstreet in "To My Dear and Loving Husband". She used multiple metaphors to help explain how great her love was for her husband. Although emotion is not favored in the Puritan style, she vented them through her poetry. In the Classical style of writing, giving sermons was a common way of presenting information to people; and Jonathan Edwards is a great example. His sermons were direct and persuasive because he used literary devices that created images in the audience's heads. All of these stories helped to get people to start worshipping God again, thus giving the creation of the Colonial Period in America.
In the essay, The Baby Boom and the Age of the Subdivision, author Kenneth Jackson tells about the changes in the nation after World War II ended, and there was a spike in baby births. He talks about the creation of the Levittown suburbs to accommodate families in need of housing because of this. While the new rise of suburbs created a new kind of community and family, it also proved to have a changing effect on inner city areas and certain people.
Africans and African descended people tried to cope or more so resist their daily problems of being enslaved. Slavery resistance originated in British North America almost as soon as the first slaves arrived in the Chesapeake in the early 17th century. The most shared of all the acts of resistance was an effort to claim some amount of freedom against an establishment that defined people basically as property. Maybe the most common forms of resistance were those that take place in the work location. Slavery was ultimately about forced labor, and the enslaved struggled daily to express the standings of their work. Over the many years, ordinary rights developed in most fields of production. These tolls dictated work customs, distribution of rations, general rules of conduct, and etc. If the slave masters increased the workloads, provided insufficient rations, or punished the slaves too severely, slaves showed their unhappiness by slowing work, pretending to be sick, breaking tools, or damaging production.
The early hominins of Africa were similar to other hominins in gross anatomical features, however, there were differences between the early hominins of Africa and other hominins, such as those found in Asia and other parts of the world as discovered in fossil remains. Not only were there some differences in the anatomical structures, there were also evidentiary differences in their culture and environmental factors in their lives, especially as the species evolved. Below, I will compare some of the differences of the early African hominins to other hominins as well as discuss how they might have lived day to day and show how the evidence supports these findings.
Antisocial personality disorder is a personality disorder marked by a general pattern of disregard for a violation of other people’s rights. Explanations of antisocial personality disorder come from the psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and biological models. As with many other personality disorders, psychodynamic theorists propose that this disorder starts with an absence of parental love during infancy leading to a lack of basic trust. In this view, the children that develop this disorder respond to early inadequacies by becoming emotionally distant, and they bond with others through use of power and destructiveness. Behavioral theorists have suggested that antisocial symptoms may be learned through modeling, or imitation. As evidence, they point to the higher rate of antisocial personality disorder found among the parents of people with this disorder. Other behaviorists suggest that some parent’s unintentionally teach antisocial behavior by regularly awarding a child’s aggressive behavior. The cognitive view says that people with this disorder hold attitudes that trivialize the importance of other people’s needs. Cognitive theorists also believe that these people have a genuine difficulty recognizing a point of view other than their own. Finally studies show that biological factors may play an important role in developing antisocial disorder. Researchers have found that antisocial people, particularly those with high impulse and aggression, display lower serotonin activity and has been linked this same activity with other studies as well.
Meanwhile, the personification in Arthur Rimbaud’s “The Drunken Boat” is also used to convey the poem’s themes of adventure. Notably, the lines, “The slow rhythms of the pulsing glow of day, / Stronger than alcohol and vaster than our lyres, / The bitter reds of love ferment the way,” implies that the call to adventure by nature is more overpowering than manmade leisure such as alcohol and music (26-28). Specifically, it implies that the lumbering but reliable sun being able to surpass the lovely but fleeting pleasures of red
Art is an expression of one’s own emotions and feelings. You can show your imagination and creativity through art. Art is generally expressed in a visual form. Generally art is considered to be a sculpture, painting, drawing, dance, music, and literature. Art can also be a part of history in various forms. Art has changed through the years as well as differentiates between countries and regions. You can depict from art the culture and history. For example experts can tell what era a painting is from and the region it has come from. However, cuisine is not considered to be a branch of art to most people.
Even though I stated that CBT was my favorite therapy, I feel as a therapist I would be much more suited for Gestalt Therapy. I think when you choose what type of therapy you want to practice you have to consider which one fits your personality and how you interact with other people. The essential idea in gestalt therapy is to have an individual be “whole”; to experience his/her life fully.
I learned more than just ten new things in this class, I also gained new insight about things that I already knew and now feel that I have a much greater understanding of how civilizations build upon each other. The realization that many of the things in our own civilization were passed down from civilizations that existed thousands of years ago was amazing and surprising and has made me view things in a whole new way.
