Critical Analysis: A Comparison of Freud and Ahmed Approach to Feelings and how they direct Humans Feeling, be it pleasant or unpleasant, is a critical sentimental factor that defines human behavior, how they handle themselves, and how they perceive their environment. Daily, people experience emotions of varying scales that indeed affect how they respond to specific phenomena such as their motivation, temperament, or personality. Strong feelings can completely change human actions in a manner that even the affected individuals cannot understand. In essence, the feeling is always a complex psychological human characteristic that is difficult to understand and influences how people think and behave. Various theorists, including Sigmund Freud and Sarah Ahmed, have examined feeling, as a complex human behavior, in an attempt to establish how and why it influences behavior. The goal of this critical analysis is to critique how Freud and Ahmed deal with feeling as a subject, its concepts, and ideas. Although there is a consensus that feelings indeed affect human behavior on a grand scale, it remains unclear as to how people develop feelings in the…
Women, Power, and Agency Don Kulick is an anthropologist who in the narrative follows the lives of a group of prostitutes in Brazilian city Salvador. According to the book ‘Travesti’ by Kulick, travestis are a group of younger men who emulate the living lifestyle of women. Travestis uses injections to develop hips and breasts just like women. Kulick analyzes the various ways used by travestis to ensure that their bodies resemble those of women. Travestis believe that women have power in life because of the feminine nature in women and therefore, they make all necessary efforts to resemble like women. Travestis are interested in women nature, and they inject hormones in their bodies and industrial silicone to ensure that they possess wide hips, thighs, buttocks, and breasts to physically appear like women (Vartabedian, 2015). Travestis uses their female nature to earn their living through prostitution. The responses provided by travesties on their way of earning a living give the meaning of gender in the community. The way travestis socialize, and dress resembles that of women gender, but they are born…

Bowling of Columbine Michael Moore was triggered by the increased number of deaths caused by firearms without a civil war to film the Bowling of Columbine. The film, “Bowling for Columbine” explores the circumstances that led to the 1999 Columbine High School holocaust and the way of life that fostered it (Kerr, 64). The film drives home the painful reality that the United States has failed in gun control and in reducing gun violence. According to Moore, the main aim of the documentary was to see to it that there was no other school shooting, but sadly, many years down, there have been many more massacres. Five main points can be identified in Michael’s film. One, shootings are viewed as part of daily life in this society. At the start of the film, the Columbine shooting is considered to be a typical day. The gun culture overly spawned the Columbine shooting. The Columbine massacre was a consequence of the culture of a society that barely glorifies and values human life as compared to guns (Kerr, 60). Second, there are many…

Religious Discourse QUESTION ONE The most captivating or inspirational thing from the reading was how it suggested that believers use Christianity to achieve two core objectives; unite humanity in Christian love, and encourage the dissemination of social systems that enhance incarnation of heaven here on earth. The first concept from all the reading material is captivating because it espouses the core function of Jesus teachings while on earth. Instead of all the relatively complex Judaism teachings in existence before this period, Christ instead encouraged people to adopt the notion of love for all beings and their environment because they are all God’s creation. Such a doctrine would be useful especially in the current existence which is marred by selfishness and loss of humanity. The second concept relates to the overall ambition of all Christian, and how their ambitions can be applied in a modern context to enhance life on earth. QUESTION TWO One interesting and troubling question the readings given raise is the conundrum surrounding global welfare as more converts are won over into Christianity. Herein, the main role of…
Sexual Harassment in the Army Cases of sexual harassment have continued to be an issue of concern despite the efforts employed to have the situation under control. The cases have been reported from genders, although females have reported more cases than their male counterparts.

Death Penalty in Georgia Capital punishment has been reported in Georgia for a long time. Some cases of the death penalty in Georgia are dated as early as 1735. However, the form of capital punishment has gone through several changes, and the sentence still stands in the Georgian state. However, the cases of the death penalty have significantly reduced with restrictions being set to avoid the wrongful execution of people, as witnessed in previous cases. A debate has always ensued on whether the death penalty should be allowed with supporters believing that some crimes can only be punishable by death if justice was to be followed. The death penalty is founded on the belief that an individual should pay with their life for the mistakes they have done, but such a claim should not be given as it gives a human being the power to end the life of a fellow human being. Background Capital punishment in Georgia is dated back to colonial times. Individuals would be executed for crimes such as murder, rape, aiding runaway slaves, robbery, or…
