The Political and Economic Thought Some basic training in economics is important because it could assist an individual to understand the nature of the world in which they live in. This is why the economics professor and her assistant Eveline Adomait and Richard Maranta have written the book Dinner Party Economics to explore the various political and socioeconomic thoughts that affect our daily lives (Eveline & Richard, 2013). The focus will be on Chapters 6 and 7 where the authors discuss about…

Food For Thought People often wonder what kind of impact eating certain types of food can hold on the human body. Among the alterations that they typically cite are weight loss, weight gain, improved stamina, and an increased ability to function in life along with other effects. However, few people have questioned what impact food has in regards to one’s psychological state of mind. Food can alter human thought processes in a myriad of ways including drastic changes in mood ranging from…

Final Thoughts and Musings I wanted to close this post out with a disclaimer and some encouragement… Disclaimer: Like James Torrance mentioned earlier, despite the covenantal, filial, and loving nature in which God relates to humanity - which, requires nothing on our part for its effectiveness or actuality - it still demands a response from us. For some of you reading this post, you may be thinking to yourself, “Sullivan, if our salvation, God’s relationality, etc. towards us is covanental in…

Christianity has always been looked at as the savior of the African American people. Although the bible was used as a weapon to oppress African Americans, during slavery, it was also viewed as a beacon of hope during times of immense struggle. African Americans were able to evaluate the bible and reconfigure it to their specific needs. The following works will explain the transformation of the connection between black identity and religion through the chronological works of African American…

"You had to live in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized" (Orwell 6) The NSA of modern day and the Thought Police of 1984 are similar in many ways. Both are government agencies that watch, intercept communications and try to manipulate thoughts of its citizens. The He was prophetic that the government would want to keep an eye on its citizens, but he could have never imagined how far they could and would take it. With most of…

difference between myth and legend interested me. In the article “Myth: Bloomsbury Guide to Human Thought” Claude Levi-Strauss states that myths are relatives of legends. Legends are defined as “fantasized history”(Myth: Bloomsbury Guide to Human Thought). Myths on the other hand are used to “wrestle with the fundamental and irreconcilable contradictions experienced in life” (Myth: Bloomsbury Guide to Human Thought). I also found it really interesting that the article pointed out that history…

The Party believes that if their citizens have the freedom of thought, they have the ability to change their ideas to differ that of the government; therefore, the citizens would begin disagreeing with what they have been taught to believe and think. To limit the freedom of thought, the Party has telescreens in almost every nook and cranny of the city to monitor the citizens. Not only do they listen to what they say through…

My Father Thought it… In the poem “My Father Thought it”, Armitage talks about his struggle between father and son as the son grows up and their relationship which tried to declare his own identity. The end rhyme makes the poem easier to remember as it “sticks” in reader’s mind. Both the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night” and “My father Thought it…” are talking about the relationship between the father and the son and remembering their father’s actions and words as a…

debates about what is and is not considered art, and one must go about presenting their work as an artist. Feeling and Thought, Abstraction, and Shadows are mainly about the very nature of painting, how one creates a painting, how one paints correctly, and how one forms an educated critique about the painting, thus involving the reader in the entire life of the painting. Feeling and Thought, takes a long in depth argument on how the success of one’s masterpiece is completely dependent on, the…
