A Modern Family The situation comedy on television that I choose to study‚ which I believe highlights family values and functions‚ is ABC’s “Modern Family”. As the title suggests this is based on what we might perceive as the current‚ everyday family. I have watched this show with mixed emotions since its inception but these are only my observations about the show‚ no one can know what the writer’s background is and from what mindset they are coming from. The show is about the “New” version

Modern Relevance of “The Birthmark” “The Birthmark” is a fable created by Hawthorne that conveys his viewpoint towards the use of science to contradict the laws of nature. The fable also includes commentary on the depiction of men and women in society‚ along with their presumed roles. Both of these themes in my opinion are even more relevant today than when the story was written. Hawthorne disapproves of science used as a tool to tamper with living beings‚ for they are not meant to be perfect

The question left to be answered is that which social contract is more efficient.

21 April 2013 Transcendentalism in Modern America America has always been a different type of country; from the day it fought the British in 1776 to the consumerist America of today. It broke the norm of having a monarch who consolidated power‚ and instead gave that power to the people. These very important pieces of American history helped spark the transcendentalist movement‚ as it was the first literary movement in the United States.
