Brad Manning in his essay entitled, “Arm Wrestling with My Father,” noted while arm wrestling with his aging father that their “roles have begun to switch” (3). I argue that this phrase meant that his father was in the inevitable path of decline in physical force while brad was on the reverse path. Moreover, the phrase also meant a deep realization between their relationship as father and son.
The first, middle and the last parts of the essay give support to this argument. Accordingly, Manning began the story with his childhood days with his father. His father would challenge Continue reading...

Perhaps it is the universality of the family experience or the formative work that family provides for our personalities, for better and for worse, that makes this such a topic of universal Continue reading...

Barn Burning – A comparative analysis
Literature and society have always had a symbiotic relationship. Literature draws inspiration from society and, in some cases, exposes its fallacies, while sometimes society draws important lessons from literature. Certain literary works have had a profound impact on the way the society viewed some of its institutions. For example, Stowe's ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin' was hugely responsible for creating an antipathy against the slavery system. In William Faulkner’s ‘Barn Burning,’ society plays a central role, as its norms and class divisions shape the characters’ actions and their relationship with each other. By comparing ‘ Continue reading...

Although Schein states that “one could argue that the only real thing of importance that leaders do is to create and manage Continue reading...

The type of criticisms borrows a lot from the works of Freud, who wrote about the psychoanalysis of literature. In his explanation, the art adopts the style of reading that looks at the interpretation of texts with the use of a psychological lens. The argument is that literature just as dreams display the secret desires and concerns of an author. For that reason, literature is seen as an exhibition of a writer’s neurosis, which is his or her psyche. Looking at the works of Shakespeare by focusing on Hamlet specifically, readers all over will agree that it is Continue reading...

Despite the fact that the world depicted in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is unequivocally a masculine world, the female characters Ophelia, the lover Hamlet, the prince of Denmark and the male protagonist, and Gertrude, Ophelia’s mother, are significant characters and contribute to the meaning of the play as a whole.

Prototypical tragic heroes are often ascribed a brand of masculinity that is predicated on and constructed around a plethora of fears and anxieties regarding maternal corporeality. Indeed, both Ophelia and Gertrude Continue reading...

Joseph Hillman (1926-2011) was an American psychologist famous for his leaning towards archetypal psychology. Archetypal psychology is a branch of psychology that tries to explain the various fantasies and myths that guide our lives. An example of such as fantasy is the ego. Different from other forms of psychology such as biological, cognitive and behaviorism, archetypal psychology seeks to understand the position of the soul in the psychology of people. Rather than explaining images, archetypal psychology seeks to explore them. For example, if a person has a dream and an object appears in the dream, archetypal psychology seeks to Continue reading...

For instance, a Late Mediterranean Roman would regard the society demonstrated to be staggeringly violent Continue reading...

The very experience of studying abroad is an exciting one. Thinking about how one would associate with people from a different country is, admittedly, not only enriching during stay but also life changing. The serendipity of gaining insights into a completely different culture makes one subject her own beliefs, values and ideas to further critical examination. The study-abroad experience is not – as many are inclined to understand – one based on a literal study or coursework completion. If anything, one learns how to grasp, gradually, and to understand, empathically, how people of different worldviews explain away facts, people and places Continue reading...
