The Narrative Analysis of Pre-service Teachers’ Responses to the Revolution of Dignity Pre-service teachers’ narratives revealed a variation in their psychological processes used for understanding and explaining an extreme social situation. Although the pre-service teachers were expected to give short answers, an overwhelming majority of them chose to write narratives in which they provided complete answers to express their personal opinions, emotions, and feelings describing the details of the real
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in View of the Reading of Life of Pi I observed how Pi went through a retrogression in his empathy towards animals. This move, from empathy to absence of empathy, or suspension of it, receives an inverted treatment in Do Androids. Rick Deckard holds the position of hunter, though, unlike Pi, his prey is not animals, but androids. If, at first, his job requires his indifference towards those artificial beings, it is clear that at the novel’s conclusion he has changed
1. INTRODUCTION If we see our passage on earth as a theatrical play, what snapshots of our experiences would we wish to share with our contemporaries? At the core of this class is the desire to go deep within ourselves and explore how we can artistically and critically materialize the intimate relationship between our body/mind and the arts. Some of the situated questions we will raise are, for example: What aesthetic principles underlie and inform our practices? How do we see the boundaries between
HAMLET was the play, or rather Hamlet himself was the character, in the intuition and exposition of which I first made my turn for philosophical criticism, and especially for insight into the genius of Shakspeare, noticed.

The trickster is typically depicted as either a “selfish buffoon, in which uses his smarts to deceive people for personal motives or pleasure, or a “cultural hero” where he uses this wit to help the oppressed and improve society (Carroll, 1984:106). Tricksters in African stories more often than not takes on the role of a “cultural hero,” versus the “selfish buffoon” (Carroll, 1984:118-119). The cultural hero may break the rules and be rebellious, but the motives
into the new decade, new utopias graced the scene, the most memorable ones being Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia, Samuel R. Delany's Triton, and Le Guin’s The Dispossessed. The reason for which these particular utopias succeeded where others had failed was their obtainability. Where traditional utopias like Bellamy’s Looking Backward were static, dull and unfeasible, representing their societies
Woman: God’s second mistake? Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher, who regarded ‘thirst for power’ as the sole driving force of all human actions, has many a one-liners to his credit. ‘Woman was God’s second mistake’, he declared. Unmindful of the reactionary scathing criticism and shrill abuses he invited for himself, especially from the ever-irritable feminist brigade. The fact and belief that God never ever commits a mistake, brings Nietzsche’s proclamation dashingly down into the dust bin
A critical study has been carried out in the earlier chapters to explore Flannery O'Connor's fictional works with respect to the study of human relationships and the nuances of the truth-seeking concerns exemplifying interesting realities. The study recorded in this thesis illustrates that there is a repetition of retreat patterns in human relationships on the canvas of the familial, societal and spiritual altitudes. In O’Connor’s fiction, human relationships are understood to be perverted and strange
