Ralph Waldo Emerson's Anatomy Of A Pervert
Anatomy of a Pervert

Hence, the insidious mind incarnates reveries in a perturbed conscience. A depraved, cerebral force as it surpasses other aims, seeks contingency and legitimacy, nonetheless, for its insalubrious, sycophantic nullity. The perverted persecutor and the effigy of war and strife, moreover, while it antagonises us with the societal squadrons of lovers and haters, negates our stance.

Thus, as people traverse obscurity, they pursue them; for the imposed travail, nevertheless, they employ democratic arts they possess to undermine our pious course. Therefore, though our faith promulgates liberty and peace, the writer squanders his time; he eludes and yet fights sinister, Herculean and clandestine fiends, who intimidate individualism.

    “When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw” (Nelson Mandela). This quote expresses that each person is cable of circumventing the law to believe what they cerebrate is true and just. This however, is not implicatively insinuating that everything they do is veridical or ending with the best consequences.

    Throughout the history of humanity, there are many examples of horrible and completely hideous crimes. While many of the crimes committed were pushed by the desire for power of some persons (mostly men: Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin and Idi Amin Dada are good examples), others were realized in the name of God, as the ones who planned them say (all the wars among different religions and, more recently, Osama Bin Laden). It is well known that the "big names" of these crimes had a very strong ability to manipulate people. I think that one of the things they were very good at is that they could manipulate many thousands of people to make them accept to be complitely submitted and believe that what they were about to commit was not a crime but something that had to be done. In this essay, we will discuss two crimes that are very similar in the way that the governements in control were very good at directing the population into the ideas they wanted them to believe in, and in having them act the way they wanted them to. The first situation is the witch trials of Salem that took place in the 1690s (as reported by Arthur Miller in The Crucible), and the second is the massive anti-communism movement that took place in the United-States between 1947 and 1954. By looking at the facts found in the play, and by looking at the history of the anti-communism movement , we will make the parrallels between these two major crimes against freedom of expression.…

    Irrational behavior exists as a paradox in which it can always be rationalized. Often, only a “discerning Eye” into madness can determine the justification of such behavior. In the novel Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Heller offers a “discerning eye”, as described in Emily Dickinson’s poem “Much Madness is divinest sense”, on Yossarian’s madness to elicit its reasonability in a time of war. Yossarian, the protagonist, a soldier fighting for the United States in World War II, displays an antiheroic, anti-American sentiment in his time with the army - a sentiment often regarded as not only madness, but as an example of eccentricism arising from his mental delusion. Instead of fighting for America and executing mandatory missions, Yossarian deserts…

    One thing often heard of in today’s society is talk of freedom and the fight for it. Peretti demonstrates how there is also a spiritual fight for freedom of our souls especially through Sandy Hogan and her search to have her own chooses in relation to her religious beliefs and her schooling courses on page 46. The people of Ashton were also fighting for their freedom such as the retired Reverend James Farrel on page 83, Ted Harmel on page 142, Hank and Mary Busche on pages 83 - 89, and many others. All of these people fought for their freedom though religious ways, political, or spiritually within themselves. Only one person could grant the true freedom that they were looking for and this is seen in the peace that all those, who have accepted God, have at the end of the battle at the university on page 508.Peretti is showing that we will always have trials and hard times, no matter if you are a Christian or not, but it is the peace that you have through God at the end that is your true freedom.…

    with an illuminating promise (Thoreau, “Economy,” 4) . The promise to have property (terra nullius), and in that property, is the tabula rasa of man’s new beginnings. Yet that liberty came at the further expense of aboriginal, black, and enviromental freedom. The flame from liberty’s chalice casts its lawful protection of those considered citizens, and in that, disavows certain men from that sense of having security: “[a] slave and prisoner of his own [private] opinion of himself” (4). The material consciousnesses of men sublates and alienates man from his/her self-development. The alienating practices of patriotism as a form of hegemonic social control estranged man from his neighbours. S/he must balance between the necessity of “commerce…

    That men are sinister in the State of Nature could be promoted as a headline to Hobbes’s magnum opus, Leviathan. In the state of nature, men are not magnanimous beings. A notion similar to the first sin, yet different from a philosopher like Jean Jacque Rousseau. It has always been taken for granted that there are wicked and virtuous humans, yet for Hobbes, humans are innately wicked. These notions, however abstract and contradictory they may seem, are demonstrated in this short paper; Hobbes’s chapter 13 of Leviathan is abridged in this paper. First, the inclinations that drive men to behave in a wicked way are outlined step by step. Then Hobbes’s reason for having a common power is established. Generally, this paper is a reflection on Chapter 13 of Leviathan with explanation and commentary.…

    There has always been a debate about weather the 1st amendment is more important Than the 2nd amendment. In this article I will be talking about why I think the 2nd amendment is more important than the 1st, the reason I believe the 2nd amendment is more important is that it allows us to bear arms, this means we are allowed to own weapons such as guns, knives, brass knuckles, etc... Also even if the 1st amendment didn’t exist we would still have the rights to own a gun or other lethal weapons in use of protection, so in other words even through the 1st amendment…
