Book Report: The Impossible State The book report is based on The Impossible state: Islam Politics, and modernity’s Moral predicament by Wael Hallaq. The author identifies the Islamic state as an impossible state because the modern Islamic state devoid of morality from a European intervention perspective as the morality referred in this case is drawn from European genealogy. Hallaq development is a contrast of the European development with “paradigmatic Islamic governance” with a deep focus on morality based on paradigmatic sharia, which has overtime failed to accommodate absolutism and a hierarchical disciplining apparatus. Hallaq arguments are based on the rise of the modern state and how Islamic governance compares to the European monarchs. According to Hallaq,[1]power monopoly, sovereignty, subjectivity formation process dominance, and the discursive abstraction of a state as a timeless, universal, and enduring state are modern state’s delineating features. Hallaq thus results in tracking the rise of sovereign, powerful European monarchs. These European monarchs, according to Hallaq, had legislative power and used the power to instill power order and discipline in the society. Comparing the European sovereign monarchs…
Freedom of Speech Issues touching on free speech are the most contentious in the contemporary liberal world. The contention arises from the conflict on whether there is value on the freedom of speech. In cases where freedom of speech is not highly valued, then there is no conflict. However, in cases where the freedom of speech is highly valued, then controversies arise on the grounds of the limitations that arise from the limitations that are placed on the freedom of speech. Noting that there are limitations placed on the freedom of speech, it befits to state as Stanley Fish did, that there is no such thing as freedom of speech (Shiffrin, 2014). This discourse shall seek to address the university’s policy concerning free speech. It will also present the arguments that are present for the promotion, preservation, and limitation of free speech.

In satisfying these values, this paper shall seek to prove that there is no freedom of speech in…

People converge to play and have fun together.

Giving; primarily mean the act of helping others without expecting a return. Giving can be in the form of money, gifts, and any other voluntary deed.

Caribbean Global Culture The Caribbean is, according to Richard Hillman, an important part of global culture and the global economy. Many U.S. residents, however, see it as a kind of DisneyWorld with white sands and cheap liquor. What is your impression of the Caribbean as a result of our study and readings for this week? The Caribbean has a global culture that, in most cases, is misrepresented or interpreted. Besides being the provider of sun, sands, and brews, it has other major art and culture that is celebrated globally. The long period of colonization and oppression is always expressed in their music, art, and literature. The writers from the Caribbean islands are recognized both globally and at home. For instance, Derrick Walcott of St. Lucia won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1995. Besides literature, Caribbean music had a major influence on global society. For instance, the Rastafarian movement, which was founded in 1930, has been adopted both globally and locally (Hillman, & D’Agostino, 2009). Singers such as bob Markey, Erick Clapton Beres Hammond, and peter tosh revolutionized the world…

culture of Shakespeare communicates Even though reading Shakespeare is hard, there are a few things to learn concerning how past cultures felt about both relationship and identity. Shakespeare became an image and a sign which encompass various qualities such as shaping the culture. Also, he was recognizable in characters such as being intellectual, natural genius, and universal. These cultures, among others, are some of his qualities on one side of his identity.

Do you believe in what you know about yourself or what other people say you are? Looking at what matters between what we think about ourselves and what others think about us, it is a discussion that goes a long way with different people taking varied stands. Mahatma Ghandi’s saying that advises us to look at ourselves in other people’s eyes is an individual’s perspective which is open to criticism. I strongly believe that it is key for one to know themselves and work on what they believe in and stand for, because we are all created to fulfil different purposes separate from other people’s. Letting people tell us what we ought to be or do is a toxic state of being which makes people stretch beyond their ability. As stated earlier, we are created to fulfil different purposes in life. This way, someone may have already identified their purpose and is successfully working towards fulfilling it. On the other hand, if the same person expects you to be exactly like them, you might end up missing the point. Your…
