    Chirstopher Grau Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Analysis

    In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Morality of Memory,” Chirstopher Grau examines the concept of memory removal from several philosophical viewpoints. The author includes the Utilitarian approach, where such a device would be applauded (and morally required) for it would increase happiness and lessen suffering. However, Grau also notes that since we learn from painful experiences, "denying (someone) useful information...would probably not be for the best...(maximum utility)," and consequently, not fulfill the Utilitarian objective (121). The author also analyzes the concept of memory removal from the ethical viewpoints voiced by Nagel, Nozick and Murdoch. However, the most poignant argument concerns the conscience choice…

    My Mother Pieced Quilts By Teresa Palomo Acosta

    It is important for children to make their own decisions on how they look at the world. But it is up to the parent to influence their child on how the outlook is. Children get most of their perception of culture from their parents. Three ideas that play a major role on a child’s perspective on culture are: social interactions between parent and child, the passing down of heirlooms, and emotional connections. These concepts are seen in the poems Hanging Fire by Audre Lorde and My Mother Pieced Quilts by Teresa Palomo Acosta.…

    Monster By Walter Dean Myers Analysis

    There are many factors that should be taken into consideration when debating on what the biggest problems are not only in the justice system but also in the court system, many of them being seen throughout the novel Monster by Walter Dean Myers. For instance, race seems to still be an issue in today’s justice system. One example on how race is a problem in the justice system is on the case of Clarence Brandley. Clarence was realized from jail after being wrongfully convicted and on death row for almost one decade as it states in the Montana Abolition Coalition article. Another problem in the justice system is the death penalty. One reason why the death penalty is a problem is because innocent people can be executed as it also states in the Montana Abolition Coalition article. One final problem out of the many is the the court system is actually the jury. For example as it is stated in the article jurs are supposed to be representative of our diverse community (Ladner,2000).…

    The Secret By Susan Griffin Analysis

    Griffin argues that everyone in society is a part of a larger matrix; that if we had been born to a different family, in a different time period, or to a different world, we would not be the same people we are today. Throughout her essay, Griffin ties together four seemingly separate people through their fears and secrets. Secrets are very powerful, in that just one secret can impact the lives of many, even if the person keeping the secret has no intentions of hurting anybody or changing the lives of others. While on the other hand, some people keep secrets to protect themselves and do not mind the pain it causes others. No matter how big the secret is, all secrets have penalties and consequences.…

    Always Smiling, always is a piece is by Russell Noto created in 2014, and is located on the first floor of the Jen library. This piece jumped out at me for many reasons; it had this complex and thought out color scheme, you had light and happy colors in one and then ominous dark colors to really pop out against the white wall background, and with it consisting of two parts you had to do a double take to ponder if they were just obscenely close, or if these very different works of art were actually one whole in the greater layout of everything. After you get to spend some time truly appreciating this piece the overall idea of how people feel we must hide certain emotions becomes more and…

    Two Ways To Belong In America Analysis

    For his father, he took it a little harder than his son did, academically, because of the teacher’s lack of understanding of their culture’s way of teaching the children. But socially, the son, Wind-Wolf, took the criticism of his peers and his friend’s mother hard, because he was afraid to live his life according to his culture, publicly and privately, in which he’s altering his culture and what he does according to the judgement being passed and the “American beliefs.” His father states that,”He is not culturally disadvantaged, but he is culturally “different”(Lake 76). Being picked on at this of an age by other children, and even adults, it’s bound to tear him down, and that is very discouraging, fortunately for others, they aren’t phased by judgement. On the contrary, we come across a girl who was also exposed to harsh…
