It never occurred to me that their beliefs and actions could be caused by an external stimulus that makes them who they are. All this time and it was right under my nose. They were not born this way at all; they were brought up this way. They are all products of this thing called culture. But what is culture What is this invisible force that has affected every pers...
  • Rituals And Traditions In Iroquois Culture
    904 words

  • Solzhenitsyn Through Shukhov
    1,719 words
    Tanizaki and Solzhenitsyn's works both contain an underlying philosophy of realism. This realism is a balance between optimism and pessimism, and can be seen in both authors discussions of society and characters, and their language. Defined by Roget's Dictionary-Thesaurus and WordNet, realism is "a tendency to see or present things as they actually are", and "art and literature that represents events and social conditions (without idealization)". Whether Tanizaki and Solzhenitsyn write about soc...

  • Chomina And Father Laforgue
    489 words
    The search for paradise is the neverending struggle through life for sanctum and inner-peace. While the knowledge of a single religion can cause doubts of afterlife, the contrast between two culturally diverse beliefs complicates matters even more; possibly to the point of enlightenment that one man's heaven is another man's hell. Likewise, the film, Black Robe, plays on the similarities between Chomina, the Huron indian tribe leader, and Father LaForgue, the French Jesuit preist and the ultimat...

  • African Culture
    1,382 words
    After attending several exhibits on Africa and its culture I picked one that I found most interesting. Built around 15 B.C. the Temple of Dendur was built as a shrine to the goddess Isis.
