“Cafe at Night” by Van Gogh-Same Directions Cafe at Night by Van Gogh is a colorful painting with very bright colors such as yellow, white, and blue. The art seems to have made at night since the blue sky is illuminated with white patches of cloud visible. The painting appears to have formed by an onlooker from the building next to the yellow building since the artist only painted just a small portion of the blue building. The yellow building looks like a cafe that still has customers with some benches empty, meaning it was not peak hour. There are people in the pavements going on with their usual business. The other buildings opposite the cafe are well-lit, meaning probably it an early evening and people are not asleep yet. The pavements are quite clean, no litter portrayed in the painting, describing that it could be a posh area, densely populated, who respect the cleanliness of the environment. My imagination in the art is that this was a favorite joint to the artist, and that’s why she documented it. Maybe…

Fromm’s basic assumptions and the dichotomy of life and death According to Fromm, human beings have leveraged on the ability to reason because they have failed to adapt to a dynamic world and disengaged from their prehistoric union with nature in what Fromm calls human dilemma. One example of an existential dichotomy is the fact that life ends with death. However, the reason is used to cater for the fact that humans cannot adapt to death by extending life. As a result, reason sets in and the explanation is used to make people temporarily feel better about their selves and have hope of life after death. My thoughts are that Fromm’s view is accurate in his reflection of the human dilemma. The power to reason is the measure of last resort when we can no longer explain what is beyond our abilities. How modern technology has affected caused basic anxiety Current technological advancements have resulted in significant benefits, but at the same time, they have affected human attachment to nature and each other. A disconnection with nature affects the way…

sexual liberation In this week’s discussion, it was noted that sexual liberation entails women’s freedom to satisfy or conduct and behave in the way they like to satisfy their sexual desires. Of interest in the definition was that women are allowed to satisfy their sexual desires without shame or fear. Sexual liberation implies that women have no obligation or rules to adhere to when it comes to sex. They have no guilt and cannot be judged about their sexual life. In my opinion, I believe that sexual liberation is no form of equity for women but a way of challenging traditional rules and codes of conduct that controls and keep in check sexual behaviours in society. With sexual liberation in mind, sexuality will take a different direction, and most interpersonal relationships may not last. Despite the negative side of the idea, sexual liberation is suitable for women to control male dominance. I think that women should have some freedom to decide and control their sexual life. If women can professionally manage the concept, then it can be used to give…
why women land in low paying jobs The reason why women land in low paying jobs is because they face stiff competition from their male counterparts. Men have a competitive advantage over women for available job openings because most of their time is dedicated to their career. This is not the same case with women who have other domestic responsibilities. At home, women are supposed to give birth and take care of the children while men have their entire time strengthening their careers. Another reason why women get low waged jobs is traced back to the history of women education. Until the 20th century, women’s education was not given priority like men’s education. It was until late when the society realized that an educated girl is more productive than an uneducated man. In the past, women had little or no qualifications for the available jobs because they lacked formal education. A lot has changed today in our society, and women almost have the same formal education as men. With a high number of females with educational qualifications, it is forecast…
