The definitions, brief explanations and core values of each of the ideology are going to be provided at the beginning of the essay. Secondly, ideologies will be compared and contrasted in order to illustrate the differences and similarities between them. Finally, it will be ultimately
Realism versus Romanticism in “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” In Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, Bierce illustrates the change from the Romantic period to the Realism period. The Romantic period focused on heroes and excessive imagery, while Realism pertained to events that could happen in real life. The period shift came about in the 1870’s. “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” illustrates this shift, as well as gives Bierce’s commentary on the two literary periods.
Moral realism describes a meta-ethical position that holds that moral facts and moral values exist, and that they are objectively truth-apt, regardless of what perceptions or attitudes we hold towards them (Sayre-McCord 2011). In “Realism,” Michael Smith attempts to save Realism from the Motivation Problem by arguing that moral judgements are judgments of right and wrong about what we have reason to do and reason not to do. I will argue that while Smith is on the right track to saving realism, his
Between the films, Avatar directed by James Cameron and District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp, it is apparent that District 9 is more evolved in the themes of science fiction. Through exploring the themes of Dystopia, historical societal issues and realism and space within Avatar, District 9 and Starship Troopers, the simplicity and realism contained with District 9 allows it to be an evolved example of the science fiction film. Dystopia is a prevalent theme in both District 9 and Avatar and becomes
One of the primary differences is More and Machiavelli’s approach to realism and idealism. Realism and Idealism were prominent concepts of the Renaissance. They were both philosophies that were practiced by Renaissance humanists and they were applied to politics, art, literature, and history. The Prince is realistic while Utopia is primarily idealistic.

In both A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings by Garcia Marquez and in Bless Me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, a similar concept is expressed- except with magic. Both authors incorporates magical realism in their texts to show the enigmas and paradoxes of reality that reality itself can not express. Marquez and Anaya skilfully utilize border crossing and inharmonious opposites emerged in both similar and distinct ways to express a problem of reality
In this paper, I will describe Euthyphro’s dilemma, and defend one horn of his dilemma on moral realism, which is “piety exists before gods’ love, and it is independent of gods’ love”. As described in the Greek philosopher Plato’s text “Five Dialogues”, Euthyphro met Socrates in front of the king-archon’s court when Euthyphro had to prosecute his father for murdering a murder, which his family thought his action was impious. Socrates stood accused by Meletus of the corruption towards the youth and
