Anthropological Theory During the initial years of anthropology, the current perception of anthropologists and the other existing scholars was that culture evolves or develops progressively and uniformly. Evolutionists built upon the success that Charles Darwin presented by his theory of evolution, but they did not draw inspiration from the central contribution of this idea of natural selection(Long & Chakvow). Instead, they opted to track how culture develops with time. In the same way, it is thought that species evolve into complex forms, cultures were also thought to increase progressively from simple states to complex states(Ingold, 2016). Previously, many scholars thought that most of the societies have the same series of stages that they pass through to arrive where they are today(Enke, 2018). It was thought that change principally originated from the culture and therefore development was determined internally. One of the theories in anthropology that explains the existence of culture exhaustively is social evolution, which is addressed in the foregoing paragraphs. Since the enlightenment, people accepted the evolutionary progression of societies. Both Scottish and French moral and social philosophers…
Analysis poetry and how is it related to Present In the poem ‘America,’ Claude McKay describes his feelings towards America. Despite the difficulties that America thrusts his way, Claude reluctantly loves his new home. Even though the Country seems to suck the life out of him as well as hating him, he loves America as it plunges itself towards a particular death. Hate and love are the two core profound emotions that an individual might experience during his or her lifetime on Earth. The two emotions are incredibly different because of being polar opposites, but genuinely, they result in various haunting similarities. Also, both emotions might drive a woman or a man to behavioral extremes. Many people have been oppressed, tortured, and even killed in hate and love. In the poem, these emotions have been expressed fully of frustrating duality as well as extremely strong relations about society. The vigor of America has flown into Claud’s blood, strengthening him towards opposing her own hate in order to fight for and against him. The theme of the poem is to fight…

Experimental Films This week we had the chance to look into experimental films which are also known as avant-garde cinema. Experimental films are films that do not follow the conventional modes of cinema and employ non-narrative ways and traditional methods of working. Over the years, these types of films have been used by directors to convey different challenges that society faces. Experimental films played a role in highlighting some of the problems that face society, such as an increase in gender inequality as well as racial segregation in America during the post-war period. Therefore, this week we have been able to explore how experimental films have evolved over the years as well as their importance. Chapter 8, Challenging Form: Experimental and New Media, focuses on experimental films and how experimental films have evolved over the years and how it has influenced the media industry. The article follows how experimental films have had an impact on different aspects of the film, such as sound, visuals, and even social and political matters affecting the world.

Show Dark The Netflix science fiction series Dark requires concentration among viewers to be intense to watch and to understand what goes on. It is more than just viewers who cannot speak German or understand what the show’s characters are saying, putting down their phones to read and follow the subtitles. The German-language series requires viewers’ concentration to avoid missing small details, hidden meanings, and things amidst all of the show’s mind-boggling insanity and meticulous plots. The series, whose premise about the small town of Winden, Germany, follows several families and primary characters finding their way through the secrets they harbor that span generations, among them the abduction and murder of young boys. It is a show whose plot includes many time travels, which, together with allusions to pop culture, music, history, and, as covered in this paper, mythology, and folklore, help viewers keep up with the storylines, genealogies, and concepts of time. The significant symbolism and subtle references to mythology and folklore in the series one of Dark add to the meaning of the tragedy in it. There…

Stylistic analysis on Toni Morrison: Commencement Address, Wellesley College, 2004 Smith (1992: 75) spoke succinctly to the concern about loss of intelligibility across varieties: ‘My response … is that for at least the last two hundred years there have been English-speaking people in some parts of the world who have (c) 2011 Hong Kong University Press. All Rights Reserved. not been intelligible to other English-speaking people in other parts of the world. It is a natural phenomenon when any language becomes so widespread.’ By adopting this commonsense and empirically arguable stance on the issue, Smith does away with recourse to emotional sorts of reactions to the spread of English. The reflexive cry ‘something must be done!’ is set aside in favour of a reasoned exploration. Holistic approaches to intelligibility are difficult to carry off: it becomes clear, as illustrated in the examples above, that there are various levels of language and of the perception of language at work in communicating with other speakers of English. Strevens’ proposal of separating accent from the other layers of language was a step in…
