The representational validity of romantic inwardness displaces the de-eroticization of commodified objects.

Smedley, the Virtual Critic(TM), responds:
Pootwattle's tortured obsession with the relationship between the representational validity of romantic inwardness and the de-eroticization of commodified objects is disturbing.

The phenomenalism of civil society replays (in parodic form) the legitimation of the literary canon.

Smedley, the Virtual Critic(TM), responds:
Pootwattle's thought-provoking inquiry into the relationship between the phenomenalism of civil society and the legitimation of the literary canon might seem a project fraught with risks -- among them presumptuousness, imprecision, and mystification.

    It is argued that Scotland could be a prosperous country on its own right. If Scotland became independent, it would be one of the wealthiest countries; as a result, its economy would increase, which would afford “welfare spending” including pensions and debts (Scottish Independence). Although the economy would increase if Scotland attained its independence, there is a debate that the economy would not be stable. That is because the Scottish would depend more the country’s oil and gas, which may run out as Sir Ian Wood warned (McKay).…

    Inducting literature into an official canon uses a similar process. Through identifying the similarities between the classic canonical novel Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald and naturalist Kate Chopin’s novella The Awakening, one confidently deems the latter author and her work worthy of canonical recognition. Conflicts begin to develop from, and…

    Scotland has a mixed economy closely interlinked with the rest of the United Kingdom (UK) and with the European Union more widely. Its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, which stood at £16,944 in 2005, is the 4th highest of the regions and countries of the UK, after London, South East England and Eastern England. Its annual economic growth in 2006 was 2.2%. The main factors contributing to the Scottish economy are Energy, Whiskey and financial services.…

    A.V Dicey gives an introduction to the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty as, “the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty means neither more nor less than this, namely, that Parliament thus defined has, under the English constitution, the right to make or unmake any law whatever; and, further, that no person or body is recognised by the law of England as having the right to override or set aside the legislation of Parliament’. However, there are many discussions as to whether the UK joining with the European Union and adherence to the Human Rights Act 1998 renders sovereignty irrelevant. It will be argued that although following these rules may appear to be contradictory to sovereignty, co-operation is entirely voluntary, necessary, and there are many examples as to why sovereignty is not irrelevant, nor archaic.…

    The political landscape of the union of Scotland and England can undergo complex changes if Scotland was ever voted its independence. It can be argued that Scotland’s freedom will allow their government to have total power and control over the Scottish soil. The Scottish have the freedom of right to choose, and it may be that Scotland can be more successful on its own. The Scottish government will be capable of making choices keeping its own nation a priority. Scotland would be capable of adopting policies that benefit themselves, allowing them to maintain decent relations with the European countries (Paquin, 2002). According to the European Constitutional Law Review (2013) many laws enforced…

    Finally, an idea called partisan dealignment suggests that participation has fallen in the UK. This idea means that people increasingly identify less closely with political parties than they used to. Traditionally, many working class people, for example, got involved with and voted for Labour out of class loyalty. Such loyalty to a political party has declined significantly over the past 30 years, and suggests that fewer people are taking an interest in politics and participation.…

    Scottish Independence

    • 5 Pages

    Scotland is at a turning point. On 18th September 2014 a referendum will be held asking voters a simple yes/no question: “Should Scotland be an independent country?” It has become more apparent that Scotland does not benefit from being part of the union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland and as a consequence of this many people agree that Scotland would be better off as an independent country. Some say the union is no longer fit for purpose and it is holding Scotland back. But many people oppose these views saying Scotland needs the rest of the UK and the economic and social factors of independence would be too great to deal with. Independence for Scotland means that we will have the right to make our own decisions about the future of our own country rather than those decisions being made by politicians in London. In this essay, I will present a fair conclusion by weighing up the arguments for and against Scottish Independence.…
