The representational validity of romantic inwardness displaces the de-eroticization of commodified objects.

Smedley, the Virtual Critic(TM), responds:
Pootwattle's tortured obsession with the relationship between the representational validity of romantic inwardness and the de-eroticization of commodified objects is disturbing.

Pootwattle, the Virtual Academic(TM), says:
The phenomenalism of civil society replays (in parodic form) the legitimation of the literary canon.

Smedley, the Virtual Critic(TM), responds:
Pootwattle's thought-provoking inquiry into the relationship between the phenomenalism of civil society and the legitimation of the literary canon might seem a project fraught with risks -- among them presumptuousness, imprecision, and mystification.

    It is argued that Scotland could be a prosperous country on its own right. If Scotland became independent, it would be one of the wealthiest countries; as a result, its economy would increase, which would afford “welfare spending” including pensions and debts (Scottish Independence). Although the economy would increase if Scotland attained its independence, there is a debate that the economy would not be stable. That is because the Scottish would depend more the country’s oil and gas, which may run out as Sir Ian Wood warned (McKay).…

    The literary canon must not be romanticized into something sacred and unchanging because it has a turbulent past where scholars have fought over what it should include. Levine compares it to the historical canon, which has a similar past. All of these changes are products of cultural change, and “it is impossible for the canon and the university to not change with the world around them”(2). This establishment of the history of university and the literary canon leads Wycuff to believe that Levine’s argument is sound, which means that this historical evidence of change is enough to calm the fears of modern change in the educational system and the fear of “radicals” affecting the system…

    A referendum is a general vote by the electorate on a single political question, which has been referred to them for a direct decision. In the UK since 1975 there have been seven major referendums. The last being the Scottish independence that was only a few weeks ago on the 18th September. The result was a ‘NO’ to independence winning by 55% to 45%, with a turnout of 84.6%. To see if referendums should be used more widely in the UK the ‘Pros and Cons’, turnout rate and past successes will all be analysed.…

    Scotland has a mixed economy closely interlinked with the rest of the United Kingdom (UK) and with the European Union more widely. Its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, which stood at £16,944 in 2005, is the 4th highest of the regions and countries of the UK, after London, South East England and Eastern England. Its annual economic growth in 2006 was 2.2%. The main factors contributing to the Scottish economy are Energy, Whiskey and financial services.…

    A.V Dicey gives an introduction to the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty as, “the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty means neither more nor less than this, namely, that Parliament thus defined has, under the English constitution, the right to make or unmake any law whatever; and, further, that no person or body is recognised by the law of England as having the right to override or set aside the legislation of Parliament’. However, there are many discussions as to whether the UK joining with the European Union and adherence to the Human Rights Act 1998 renders sovereignty irrelevant. It will be argued that although following these rules may appear to be contradictory to sovereignty, co-operation is entirely voluntary, necessary, and there are many examples as to why sovereignty is not irrelevant, nor archaic.…

    Finally, an idea called partisan dealignment suggests that participation has fallen in the UK. This idea means that people increasingly identify less closely with political parties than they used to. Traditionally, many working class people, for example, got involved with and voted for Labour out of class loyalty. Such loyalty to a political party has declined significantly over the past 30 years, and suggests that fewer people are taking an interest in politics and participation.…

    Scottish Independence

    Scotland is at a turning point. On 18th September 2014 a referendum will be held asking voters a simple yes/no question: “Should Scotland be an independent country?” It has become more apparent that Scotland does not benefit from being part of the union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland and as a consequence of this many people agree that Scotland would be better off as an independent country. Some say the union is no longer fit for purpose and it is holding Scotland back. But many people oppose these views saying Scotland needs the rest of the UK and the economic and social factors of independence would be too great to deal with. Independence for Scotland means that we will have the right to make our own decisions about the future of our own country rather than those decisions being made by politicians in London. In this essay, I will present a fair conclusion by weighing up the arguments for and against Scottish Independence.…
