Destiny Hope Cyrus was born November 23, 1992 in Nashville, Tennessee, to Letitia Jean “Tish” and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

...The majority of Hannah Arendt’s work emerged after she and her husband fled to the United States in 1941 due to the outbreak World War II and having to serve detention in a camp as an, “enemy alien,” because of evidence she had gathered of the regime’s anti-Semitism. It was ten years later that she became a legal citizen of the United States. Arendt wrote for Aufbau, a German language newspaper, and also was a director of research for the Commission on European Jewish Cultural Reconstruction. Hannah Arendt’s work and ideas cannot be put together onto one single spectrum of ideas or argument on one topic. Her thoughts and works cover totalitarianism, the nature of freedom, revolution, and the power of thought and judgment (Hannah Arendt). Her first major piece of work was completed in 1951 and is known as The...

...As one of the greatest and most original thinkers and political theorists of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt's whole life may be said magnanimous, the identity of American German Jews, Heidegger's favorite pupil, experience during World War II, and the achievement in philosophy. These factors give us enough interest to find out her stories. The film "Hannah Arendt" has chosen a very important turning point in her life. The plot is about the before and after the publication about the special comment to Eickermann in “New Yorker”. The moive uses a small aspect through her life to interpret her philosophy. As the Arendt in the reality, the Arendt on the film also always carries a cigartte on her hand, especially the curl of the cigarette...

...Hannah Arendt on the History of the Modern Jew and its Ties to Totalitarianism German-born, Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt made her literary debut with her book The Origins of Totalitarianism which she published in 1951 to discuss the roots of Naziism, Jewry, and totalitarianism as present in current society. Arendt’s work can still be looked at today as an analysis of how totalitarianism can come to be. Additionally, it can be used as a warning for signs of totalitarianism today and help prevent it from coming to power. Arendt claims modern Jewry, a product of the French Revolution, was followed by the development of anti semitism which led to the Holocaust and totalitarianism in Germany. Towards the end of the French Revolution in the...

...Israelites are led by a series of judges who rise up in difficult times. At this point, Israel is not an organized nation. In fact, as the book of Judges comes to an end, tribal wars threaten to tear the people apart. The books of Joshua and Judges demonstrate that things are far from perfect, even though the people are in the promised land. 1 Samuel opens not in the halls of power, but in the house of a man remembered only here. Elkanah is married to two women, and Hannah, his favorite, is barren. This theme is familiar, and reflects another time when barrenness put God's promise in question with the matriarchs, Sarah and Rachel. We are reminded that what seem to be personal domestic decisions also have world-wide consequences when seen across the whole span of history. Hannah begs God for a child, and during her prayer, she encounters the priest Eli who is less than comforting. accusing the praying woman of being drunk! Despite this initial encounter, Eli tells Hannah that her prayer will be answered. Hannah has her long awaited child and does as she promised. She gives the child to the LORD. The boy, Samuel, remains with Eli at the holy place in Shiloh. This family may seem odd to us, but it was common for the time. Also, Hannah's promise may appear rash, but the dedication of her son to the Lord is akin to the sacrament of baptism or the dedication of an...

...Summary Sam Nolan, chief information officer at Century Medical, is having a hard time with his new boss. Century Medical is a large medical products company in Connecticut. Sam Nolan had been with the company for about four years and he has been successful in integrating technology into Century Medical. Two of his main projects included a benefits-administration system for the company’s human resources department and a complex Web-based purchasing system that streamlined the process of purchasing supplies and capital goods. The Web-based system cut the time needed to process requests and orders extensively. This also helped purchasing managers have more time to work with key stakeholders more directly. Sam Nolan had trained a 61 year-old HR employee, Ethel, on the new Web-based system. After learning, Ethel was very passionate about the new systems and how much they could help the company. Sam and Ethel then pulled together a team and developed an idea for linking Century managers, internal recruiters, and job applicants using artificial intelligence software. His previous boss, Sandra Ivey, enthusiastically endorsed the idea while his new boss Tom Carr seemed to have very little interest in the project. Tom Carr believes that the company should not do anything else with technology. He believes that employees can learn more by talking to people rather than looking on the Internet. He also seemed like he did not accept change when he said, “Just...

...High School Graduation Speech Now that we are graduating I believe this time that we, class of 2014 fine tell all the people cheering on tonight but most importantly our parents three words we swore we will never say you were right. Now today, class of 2014 I challenge you to reflect on your past four years, remember who you are, where you are from, and what you represent. There’s this rumor that high school changes who you are and truth is I agree. Four years can really change a person just as Miley Cyrus because when we are freshmen she was a Disney star who was Hannah Montana riding horses and singing hoe down throw down, but now she rides wrecking balls. Although were change has been a drastic we are the naïve freshmen we once were when we first walked in as 15 year olds very awkward looking forward for the best years of our life. However, we seem realize that high school was not like High School Musical and all these singing and dancing and laughter usually ended as with crying on the way that IBCA everyday and trying to hide behind the bleachers to avoid the dreaded mile on PE. And not even next to classified school survival guide can prepare us for the horror of math excel. Since freshmen year we even change our styles and let’s take a moment to apologize to our parents for having to walk to that headache trap we called abracrombi freshmen over year. And now it’s instagram, twitter, and snapchat and if you don’t update each of them daily people will question your...

...5 mark questions practice What is politics? Politics, in its broadest sense, is the activity through which people make, preserve and amend the general rules under which they live. Although politics is also an academic subject (sometimes indicated by the use of ‘Politics’ with a capital P), it is then clearly the study of this activity. Politics is thus inextricably linked to the phenomena of conflict and cooperation. On the one hand, the existence of rival opinions, different wants, competing needs and opposing interests guarantees disagreement about the rules under which people live. On the other hand, people recognize that, in order to influence these rules or ensure that they are upheld, they must work with others – hence Hannah Arendt’s definition of political power as ‘acting in concert’. This is why the heart of politics is often portrayed as a process of conflict resolution, in which rival views or competing interests are reconciled with one another. However, politics in this broad sense is better thought of as a search for conflict resolution than as its achievement, as not all conflicts are, or can be, resolved. What is the difference between power and authority? Power is the ability of an individual or institution to force people to do things, whether they wish to or not. There are various forms of power, the strongest of which is coercion – the use of physical force. The most extreme cases of coercion are seen under totalitarian regimes, where execution, torture...

...que en muchos sentidos la progresión de nuestra historia se asemeja a un bucle; aunque claro está que muchos dirán que tal afirmación no es verdad, porque si aquélla fuera cierta dónde quedarían todos los avances científicos, tecnológicos, industriales, arquitectónicos, económicos, artísticos, entre otros, que hemos visto a través del desarrollo de la especie humana. Por supuesto, nada de esto se puede negar, pero si nos remitimos exclusivamente a la razón, al comportamiento, a las acciones que desencadena nuestro pensamiento racional, lo planteado comienza a cobrar sentido. Para analizar esto con algo más de detalle, podemos abordar los tres últimos siglos, por medio de figuras históricas como Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx y Hannah Arendt. De tal manera, en el siglo XVIII Kant en su texto “Respuesta a la pregunta ¿qué es la ilustración?”, expresa la necesidad del hombre de salir de la minoría de edad, la cual se puede entender como la falta de capacidad del hombre para razonar por sí mismo, dependiendo de otros (como el Estado) para tomar sus decisiones; incapacidad que se origina porque es más cómodo y fácil permanecer en la ignorancia y dejar que sea otro el que decida el rumbo de nuestras acciones, que esforzarnos para pensar por nosotros mismos, que tener el valor para trabajar duro por la libertad, por la libertad para pensar,...

...Ao nos apresentar o conflito pessoal vivido pela filosofa e professora Hannah Arendt o filme nos remete a alguns conceitos Kantianos que dizem respeito a fundamentação da ação moral segundo o mesmo. Para Kant, a ação moral deve ser incorporada ao indivíduo não por meio da experiência e sim da razão, e portanto não sendo regidos por fatores externos e sim pela racionalidade pura. Essa origem a priori na razão pura conduz a uma reflexão sobre a situação vivenciada por Hannah, uma vez que ela ao presenciar o julgamento se convence da “inocência” do réu. Apesar de ser uma integrante da etnia que foi vítima dos crimes dos quais o réu é acusado, Hannah por meio da razão não o julga culpado, enquanto se espera que ela paute sua análise no desprezo que tem pelo regime do qual ele fazia parte. No que diz respeito ao réu, os imperativos categóricos ditam sob a forma da necessidade de uma ação moral. Ele pauta a sua defesa usando o raciocínio do valor da ação moral, dizendo “Faça isso, por que isso é o que deve ser feito” e não “se fizer isso, me acontece aquilo”. Como explica Kant no texto em questão: “ A Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes deve demonstrar a priori que tal imperativo existe enquanto necessário ao exercício do agir moral em todo ser racional. A aprioridade do imperativo categórico decorre do fato de que ele não pode ser derivado de qualquer peculiaridade da natureza humana ou originar-se empiricamente de motivos contingentes, já que o dever, do qual o imperativo...

...Power. Authority. Violence A research paper highlighting the relation between the three terms: power, authority and violence, and the nature of violence and power in Hannah Hannah Arendt’s theory in her book ‘Crises of the Republic’. ------------------------------------------------- Sushrut S. Vaidya (20155042) Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975) was a political theorist, who through her theories got the recognition of a philosopher and framed the thoughts of many political theorists to come through her topics on the nature of power, authority and totalitarianism. Through this paper, I shall be talking about my take on the relation between the three fundamentals of Hannah Arendt’s theory in her book ‘Crises of the Republic’. The relation that I will be deriving is between her theory of power, authority and violence. I hope to be, at the end of this paper, be able to provide an input as to where the ideal culminated theory lies and be able to put forward a few points on the continued flow of power. Power, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is defined as the ability to act or produce an effect or as the possession of control, authority or influence over others. Power, has evolved into its many forms as it was practiced through time. Turning back time to back when primordial man asserted his power over others to the beginning of civilized life to the time where empires began and required ruling to the creation of the ‘modern man’, power has been exercised multiple...

...“Miley has everything a girl could want, she has millions of dollars.” After Hannah Montana was over, she started to do drugs. Now, she doesn’t make the greatest decisions. She also grosses everyone out by sticking her tongue out all the time. Miley wears weird clothes, does drugs, goes to parties, and she’s pretty much out of control now. Miley Cyrus is even like this when she’s on stage. Miley is totally out of control. Miley does drugs, wears really weird expensive clothes, goes to big parties, and she can be a little weird and crazy at times. One reason Miley is out of control is she always has chose the wrong path. Her fans, family, and some friends are mad at her because of it. Miley’s dad is not the only one upset with her. “Many of...

...There was a new reading conducted at the Bull bar on March 15th, 2018. Hannah Whiteman was given the opportunity to read and present her work to others visiting the bar. Her work was packed full of colorful imagery, surrealism, colors, and alliteration, at least according to other reviewers of her work. Whiteman was introduced by a friend in the same academic program as her. After listening to three of her works, I would have to agree to the idea that her work is strong with colorful imagery and musical structure. Her writing may be strong, but her performance leaves a lot to be desired. Whiteman’s first poem of the night discussed the recent hurricane that had devastated Florida, Texas, and Puerto Rico, hurricane Irma. She based her experiences...

...1. A description of my learning style includes, Tactile/Kinesthetic, which for this to be of service, helps for these students to move around, activities such as chemistry experiments, sporting activities, art and acting is a great way to put this style to good use, listening to music while learning or studying may help put this learning style to great use. This was the highest style I scored in, while the others had maybe three of four checks in their area. 2. When I was in Biology, we had to learn the bones and muscles in the human body for the semester final. Well when I went home after school, I had started to watch Hannah Montana, a teen show on Disney Channel. The episode happened to be the one where Hannah had to learn the same thing, so while she was singing “The Bone Song” she made; I had done some research on the lyrics. Well when the test came up in the next couple weeks, I quietly started to sing my version of the song. 3. Highlight textbooks and notes, create movies in your mind, create visual study tools, visualize pictures, charts, and diagrams, Edit your lecture notes, color code your notes and study sheets. I think these benefit me because, I really noticed that I learn with color, like my colored pens for different classes, say that when I’m in English 228, ill use my black pen to take notes, but when im in my Biology 111, ill use my blue pen. I tend to retain the info given, because ill remember the color. 4. Write word and question cards,...
