Bartleby the Scrivener In the story Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville, the lawyer hires a character named Bartleby to be a scrivener, whose duty is to copy legal documents manually. In the story, Bartleby is described as being forlorn, neat, and pale. However, Bartleby’s demeanor shows unhappiness and discontentment, but he never expresses any emotion in the story. He is never seen as happy or sad. The lawyer employs Bartleby as the Scrivener, but by day three, he refuses to complete any tasks. When asked to copy the documents, he says, “I would prefer not to” (Melville 18). The lawyer tolerates his behavior for some time, but he realizes that as time goes by, Bartleby becomes even more rebellious in the office. He later realizes that Bartleby does not have a place to go to, and he sleeps and spends all his time in the office. The lawyer sympathizes with him and tries to get him to talk about his problems. Bartleby still refuses to say anything and goes ahead to say that he would prefer not to say…
The Texas judiciary The field of study of the American government is not only concerned with interrogating the country’s systems, but also its institutions, policies as well as the people’s values and views. Political science is the field of study that analyzes the practices of governments and how they operate both at the local and international levels, whereas Scholars of the American government concern themselves with the process of policy formulation in response to emerging issues and their implications to the American people.

Smurfette’s Roots by Rachel Klein explores the idea of otherness in how society is tailored to judge and behave towards a specific community.

Cultural Collision and Loss of Identity in Things Fall Apart Things Fall Apart is a classic African novel about how colonialism impacted and undermined the culture of traditional African society. Set in the Igbo community in West Africa, Achebe details how life was for this African society before the arrival of the white men. It was a society that was full of rich culture in terms of leadership, religious beliefs, and other cultural practices. According to Achebe, the white men were welcomed by the Africans, but upon settling, they started building their mansions of culture and taught the Africans new ways of life. “They [the white people] must have used powerful medicines to make themselves invisible until the market was full” (139). The arrival of white men in African society brought cultural collusion that challenged the identity of the people.

When new culture and traditions are brought in, they bring cultural collision, and…

Empath Way of Healing INTRODUCTION The so-called mirror neurons in the brain activate intuition, and people automatically imitate what they perceive. As a highly sensitive species, human beings also unconsciously perceive certain signals, which, when combined with certain associations, trigger an associated feeling. In a way, empathy can also be described as emotional intelligence because we don’t know what other people are feeling. Nevertheless, our emotional intelligence enables our brain to assign certain signals to certain emotions. Humans are social beings, and that is why sooner or later, everyone is in contact with other people. And at precisely these moments, empathy is very important for various reasons: Empathic people can put themselves in the position of their counterpart and thus understand more easily what their counterpart wants to communicate. Of course, it still matters how exactly the other person expresses himself and how exactly he communicates what he wants to convey. In principle, however, it is important to perceive the other person exactly and try to understand them in order to guarantee smooth communication. Among other things, misunderstandings can be…
COURTSHIP AND WOMEN Courtship allows women to enjoy the attention they get from men by being treated in a special way and receiving gifts from them. Molina (1983) characterized that some women even delay their marriage so that they have more time to experience what it’s like to be showered with attention and affection. They involve servitude in their home as well as serving the parents of the woman. Furthermore, it has been done with the first step of the man visiting the woman’s house and presents himself to her parents in an official manner. The most usual trend to be acceptable to the woman’s family is from the saying “courting a Filipina means courting her family too” (Business World,2002). It is generally unacceptable to most Filipino families to court the woman without knowledge of her family. Courtship allows women to enjoy the attention they get from men by being treated in a special way and receiving gifts from them. Molina (1983) characterized that some women even delay their marriage so that they have more time to experience what it’s…
