    The Uncertainty of Perception 'Seeing conditions what we believe... believing conditions what we see. ' This observation is the core of society and the substratum of human behavior.

  • Step In Order To Perfect His Mind
    514 words
    The first book I read this year was Anthem, written by the highly respected author, Ayn Rand. This book has two main themes which expressed in the style of her writing. In this piece I noticed Ayn Rand used her book to portray how man can overcome and achieve any objective he has been faced with and can see past any influence society has used to control his mind. Man is capable of seeing outside the perspective of society and can discover the truth despite any outside influences. In the quote, w...

    Interpretive Study The three texts I have read all have many similar and contrasting issues and characters. The texts 1984, Forest Gump, and To Kill A Mocking Bird are three very entertaining books well worth reading, while the texts all seem very diverse on the exterior they seem to be very similar on the interior. The three texts, while they have different issues seem to all be similar in sharing the issue of racism and manipulation of minds. Together we can accomplish anything, alone they can...

    Socrates believes that the everyday world is an illusion compared to the world of knowledge. People are often too distracted by money and materialistic things to appreciate truth and reality.

This exemplifies the point that man has the ability to look into the world of truth, but when one is caught up in superficiality then truth does not receive the attention and glory that it should. This is why Socrates feels that the arts...
  • Thoreau Civil Disobedience
    803 words
    Philosophers, historians, authors, and politicians have spent centuries pondering the relationship between citizens and their government. It is a question that has as many considerations as there are forms of government and it is rarely answered satisfactorily. A relatively modern theorist, author Henry Thoreau, introduced an idea of man as an individual, rather than a subject, by thoroughly describing the way a citizen should live many of his works. He indirectly supplements the arguments he pr...
