Robert Nozick has an experiment called the experience machine. If the people choose to stay inside the machine‚ they can freely experience anything that they want selectively. However‚ they can also choose to stay outside of the machine and experience in the real world unpredictably. The life‚ which I consider to worth living in‚ is a life I can go out and experience with my friends and family‚ not to stay in a machine. In addition‚ it does matter whether things actually happens. There are many adventures

In this essay‚ I would like to discuss one of Robert Browning’s more unsettling poems‚ "Porphyria’s Lover." The poem is a dramatic monologue of sorts‚ though different from Browning’s most famous dramatic monologue‚ "My Last Duchess." In contrast to "My Last Duchess" in which the Duke regales a Count’s envoy with tales of his former duchess‚ Porphyria’s lover is not addressing any other living person. Of course‚ this makes the monologue of Porphyria’s lover all the more dramatic. In keeping with

Robert Frost’s "Home Burial" is a tragic poem which presents an engrossing‚ intensely empathetic scenario as it deals with the lack of communication between husband and wife on the loss of their first child which is slowly leading to a breakdown of their marriage as they are incapable of sharing their grief.

Key Concepts for Understanding the Work of Robert Kegan Jennifer Garvey Berger General Rationale and Approach In over our heads: Robert Kegan believes that the constantly changing demands of modern life may be developmentally inappropriate for many—perhaps even most—adults.

Mending Wall ~by Robert Frost Something there is that doesn’t love a wall‚ That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it‚ And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone‚ But they would have the rabbit out of hiding‚ To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean‚ No one has seen them made or heard them made‚ But at spring mending-time

Kennedy‚ born on November 20th‚ 1925 and who died on June 5th‚ 1968‚ with three bullet wounds to his chest. This is who I will be talking about
