Many factors contribute to creating identity and one of the many examples of a nation 's identity that has been dictated by a specific individual is Cuba before the rule of Fidel Castro. Before Cuba’s socialist revolution, they attempted to be governed under a vast array of government styles such as communism and an absolute dictatorship. These harsh styles of ruling upset the citizens of Cuba especially because their economy suffered through because of the Cubans revolting against communist regimes and the impact America’s Great Depression.

- Identity And Identityanalytical essayThe themes of identity and intimacy were difficult to define when analyzing the social dynamic between African Americans and White Americans. When evaluating their interactions with one another, it was interesting to observe the many complexities of human beings. Slavery created the need for identification. As the slave trade increased, ethnic sub groups’ exposure to one another and to Europeans resulted in the reinterpretation and acculturation of cultures. Identity persisted as an entity of importance from the African-based communities to their descendants as identification could emancipate black slaves from the shackles of slavery. Even though slavery was a shared success for global markets, the relationship between slaves and slaveholders

These works have represented many views on the Cuban struggle for complete independence. These works have contributed to reinforce my opinion on the subject at hand. The works have shown that Cuba’s history is filled with discontent from within towards an outside presence. In the beginning, the outside force was Spain, Cuba’s colonial leader. The United States became the outsider in the early nineteenth century, when it intervened in Cuba’s fight for independence. Only until Castro took over in 1959 did Cuba truly become free and independent. The spirit and aspirations invoked by the original independence leaders, men like Jose Marti, had finally been achieved.

Ever since the revolt of Carlos Manuel de Cespedes in 1868, who took up arms with his slaves to liberate Cuba from Spain’s colonial grasp, the existence of insurrectionists and adamant government opposition in Cuba has flourished. Social revolution and a strong will and practice of nationalism has indelibly characterized Cuban history. Nevertheless, the outcomes of particular movements and struggles for social justice have consistently frustrated revolutionary and radical leaders. Government regimes throughout history have in some manner or fashion, whether by force or by will, degenerated popular radical aspirations. For example, it was the North American intervention in 1898, during the second Cuban war for independence that opposed the popular will to establish an independent sovereign nation. Moreover, corrupt military regimes headed by opportunists such as Machado and Batista have also tainted and disregarded popular aspirations for national affirmation, human dignity, and democratic order 1. Consequently, Cuban history has proven that aspirations for social reform and a democratic republic have consistently gone arie.

837 wordsRead More - Identity Theoryanalytical essayThis paper aims to endorse physicalism over dualism by means of Smart’s concept of identity theory. Smart’s article Sensations and the Brain provides a strong argument for identity theory and accounts for many of it primary objections. Here I plan to first discuss the main arguments for physicalism over dualism, then more specific arguments for identity theory, and finish with further criticisms of identity theory.
In this essay, the author
- Argues that smart's article sensations and the brain provides a strong argument for identity theory and accounts for many of its primary objections.
- Explains that physicalism is the theory that the universe contains nothing other than the physical. identity theory posits that brain states are identical to mental states.
- Explains that the first main argument for physicalism, and in this case identity theory, is the argument of neural dependence, which states that mental states are not distinct from physical states.
- Analyzes how a dualist responds to property dualism by saying that mental states supervene on brain states.
- Analyzes how smart disregards the issue of correlation and claims that mental states and brain states aren't correlated, but they can be physically explained. he calls these "nomological danglers."
- Argues that a more substantial counter argument to property dualism not discussed by smart would be the causal problem. epiphenomenalism claims that mental states have no causal power, which is self-undermining.
- Explains that interactionism claims that mental states do have causal power and behavior is overdetermined. physicalists respond to this with the causal closure of the world, discussed by smart.
- Explains that identity theory attempts to correct the causal objection to behaviorism. if mental states cause behavior, they have to be identical to brain states.
- Argues that dualists oppose physicalism, and identity theory, because they believe that mental states and brain states are distinct.
- Argues that physicalism has false premises, such as introspection cannot know everything about one's mind through repressed memories and the subconscious.
- Analyzes how smart deals with a more specific variation of this argument, or the "phenomenal properties objection." he discusses the logical mistake that mental states or consciousness are separate from the physical aspect of experience.
- Analyzes how smart counters the "phenomenological fallacy" by using the example of seeing an after image, something that does not exist in the physical world but seems phenomenally.
- Argues that identity theory posits the importance of the actual world as grounding our experience, showing what it is like, and disregards its interpretation through consciousness.
- Analyzes how smart counters this objection by describing this discrepancy as a failure of language. instead of putting this in terms of "feeling," it makes more sense to say that seeing yellow causes happiness.
- Explains that identity theory is based on physical explanations and emotion is yet another brain/mental state. a scientist can learn the physics behind lightning, every detail of cause and effect, even see photographs of lightning bolts, without ever seeing lighting.
- Argues that an identity theorist must argue that once every single physical fact is known then nothing can add to someone’s knowledge. they must say that there is no emotional or mental additive, and that this theory is simply incorrect.
- Argues that if neuroscience advances to the point that one can empirically see all of the brain processes, then neurologists will be able to read people's minds.
- Argues that it is counter-intuitive to believe that triggering f-fiber can suddenly result in entirely new tactile and emotional knowledge.
- Argues that identity theorists associate mental states as equal to brain states, so any organism that lacks that mental state cannot be hungry.
- Explains that identity theorists may counter by saying that the mental state is, in some way, particular to the species so it refers to different brain states in different organisms.
- Argues that identity theory can account for differences between particular humans and changes within one particular brain.
- Opines that the paper endorses and defends identity theory but has concluded nothing definitively.
1919 wordsRead More - Identity Theoryanalytical essayIn my opinion, mental states are not behavioural dispositions, as originally described by behaviourists. Behaviourism was primarily devised to address the flaws of Substance Dualism and present a solution to the mind-body problem. Since then, many other philosophical ideas have provided alternative solutions to the mind-body problem, as well as exposing weaknesses in behaviourism. Behaviourism states that behavioural dispositions are tendencies to react with a certain kind of stimuli. For example, if a person is confronted by a tiger, that person would be disposed to; run away, shout for help and assert ‘there is a tiger.’ This is what is known as a mental state, a stimulus and the relevant dispositions. This theory seems relatively sound with a few arguments to support it. However, there are even more arguments which can reveal certain flaws in behaviourism. I believe the arguments against behaviourism outnumber and outweigh the arguments for behaviourism. Thus, I subsequently believe that other philosophies are superior solutions to the mind-body problem, specifically, identity theory.
In this essay, the author
- Argues that mental states are not behavioural dispositions, as originally described by behaviourists. behaviourism addresses the flaws of substance dualism and presents a solution to the mind-body problem.
- Explains that behavior makes sense on a very basic level. behaviour is based on one's outward appearance and reaction.
- Analyzes how the argument can be countered with relative ease by simply acting out the behavioural dispositions of a mental state instead of feeling it.
- Explains the stimulus response experiment of pavlov's dog, which showed that behavioural dispositions could be provoked by conditioning. however, this does not mean the dog was pressed into a mental state of hunger.
- Argues that the ‘behaviour unnecessary’ argument suggests that certain mental states aren’t necessarily tied to behavioural dispositions.
- Explains that the behaviourist argument falls apart if the person experiencing the stimulus is a stoic. stoicism is associated with the removal of emotion from one’s life.
- Analyzes putnam's thought experiment that discredits the behaviourism argument. when a dog is exposed to food, it salivates, experiencing mental state of hunger.
- Argues putnam proved two things that caused the philosophy of behaviourism to effectively cease as a solid, believable argument.
- Describes identity theory as a better solution to the mind-body problem.
- Argues that the brain acts as a physical vessel for the metaphysical presence of the mind.
- Explains the 'leibniz principle', which suggests that if two tokens, a and b are identical, then they must have the same properties.
- Argues that these sensations are properties of the helicopter itself, rather than directly related to the experience and the resultant mind-body connections.
- Argues that multiple realisability is an argument against identity theory, since humans are not the only species capable of feeling pain.
- Opines that identity theory provides a solid philosophical base from which to move on. while behaviourism fails to effectively solve the mind-body problem, they believe that mental states are not behavioural dispositions.
