1. What is “metaphysico-theologo-cosmolo-nigology”?
Pangloss teaches metaphysico-theologo-cosmolonigology. Pangloss states that the world is the best of all possible worlds in which all is well and all is for the best. Voltaire writes “He could prove that there is no effect without a cause; and, that in this best of all possible worlds, the Baron’s castle was the most magnificent of all castles, and My Lady the best of all possible baronesses.”
Voltaire is using satire of his made up profession. By making Pangloss teach
Candide this made up profession of “metaphysico-theologo-cosmolonigology”
Pangloss is not teaching Candide anything useful. The word metaphysico-theologo-cosmolonigology sounds super complex but in reality it is
meaningless

Military Leaders: When they punish Candide even when he is being called a
“prodigy”, military leaders, in hopes of bring out the best in the soldiers, actually damage them.
Catholics: The most disturbing to Catholics would probably be the two women in a relationship with the monkeys, on page 38. This is a direct violation of
Leviticus 22, and they probably wouldn’t get the satire, instead take the text literally and interpret the natives in Latin America to be sinful.
Protestants: The auto-da-fé on pages 13, because it is essentially radical Catholics burning people at the stake.
Aristocrats: The dinner with the six kings, on pages 73-76, as it shows them that all power can be taken away
7. What is Voltaire attitude’s towards religion? Consider passages that illustrate the behavior of religious figures and religious institutions.
Voltaire sees religion as mostly corrupting, witht eh perfect example being that of El Dorado, where the ‘perfect society’ doesn’t believe in any religion.
All the characters that have religious affiliations except James the Anabaptist persecute people who are indifferent towards their religion. For example, the orator refused to serve food to Candide because he was indifferent towards
Christianity. The orator’s wife also saw Candide and poured a bucket of….. on him. The ellipses means something really nasty like human feces

Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals. It could mean the loss of a sale or acquiring new business. It’s like dressing for work; looking professional or unprofessional.
Candide Wealth and great materialistic possession brings happiness and success to most people’s lives. Although wealth does not always bring happiness, El Dorado was one society where all it’s inhabitants lived lives full of success and happiness. In Candide, wealth proved to guarantee a person a step forward in life and some sense of freedom. Sometimes when one lives in an environment consisting of total equality, one may prefer to leave and go to a different place where they would be considered superior and everyone else inferior to them. The people of El Dorado were so wealthy that they abused the things that they possessed that others would cherish. The children proved this when they were playing at quoits covered with tattered

The brain is considered the most complex organ in the body. It is responsible for controlling motor function, the body’s ability to balance and the ability to translate information sent to the brain by sensory organs. The mind is described as the faculty of consciousness and thought. It’s where our feeling and emotions originate from and defines who we are as a person. The brain is composed of the visual cortex, which is responsible for processing visual information. In blind individuals the feature that makes up visions still exists in the visual cortex. These features are now used to process information received from the other senses. However, blind individuals are able to view the images because what’s in their mind.

Throughout the story of Candide, the author Voltaire uses many of the characters to portray important things in life. The two characters that Voltaire used the most were Candide and Pangloss. Voltaire used these two characters to represent a particular idea or folly that he had about the world. In the story Candide, Voltaire is always portraying his own ideas by using the characters to illustrate his own ideas. Candide and Pangloss represent the main idea of the story, which is Voltaire’s folly of optimism. Even though they both represent the main idea of the story Candide and Pangloss have many similarities and differences.
As a trainer, teacher and assessor my roles are many and varied. As part of my day to day work I may not only deliver lessons but also carry out theory assessments, practical assessments and sometimes interviews. I may have to motivate and liaise as well as guide and assess. I will have to keep records and be a subject specialist as well as liaise internally and impart information and advice sometimes on a personal level. The first impact I play regarding my role is either interviewing possible candidates or meeting and greeting them on the first day of their course. Meeting potential apprentices/apprentices on their first day induction requires me to make a good
At first I was not sure what I should put, but then when I starting thinking about it, it came pretty easily. However I did have a difficult time thinking about what I can’t change because I try not to focus on that.
In Voltaire’s satirical novella Candide, he analyzes and criticizes the absolutist perspectives that were common of his era. By constructing his characters to each represent a different absolutist faith, he uses comedy to exaggerate and emphasize the faults in each perspective, ultimately describing the world through a cynical lens. As an influential writer of the Enlightenment period, Voltaire’s dispute of faith aligns with the enlightened goals of separating the individual from the church and stressing individual freedom rather than dependence on religion. He expresses his critical sentiments of faith and cynical view of absolute optimism by manifesting them in his characters.
This is most evident in the names of the characters: Candide means “bland, naïve, and highly susceptible to the influence of stronger characters,” while Pangloss is Greek for “all tongue.” This suggests that Pangloss’s teachings have no real substance, and that naïve Candide is mislead by his teacher’s words. Candide’s steadfast nature is portrayed in many scenes of the novel, and Voltaire uses these instances to demonstrate how extreme optimism and blind acquiescence can have a detrimental effect. “Candide drew near and saw his benefactor, who rose above the water one moment and was then swallowed up for ever…the villain swam safely to the shore, while Pangloss and Candide were borne thither upon a plank” (32). Voltaire’s jovial tone allows him to satirize Pangloss’s radical optimism and Candide’s susceptible nature while still moving the plot along. His use of connotative diction, such as “à priori” to describe a ridiculous theory mocks the idea and highlights the absurdity of it. This suggests that Pangloss’s extreme optimism and Candide’s innocence were the cause of the poor Anabaptist’s death and that this way of thinking will always cause danger to

The dictionary describes introspection as the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes. Kevin Woods stated, “Introspection are all about getting to know yourself at the core, uncovering your values and then deciding for yourself what’s the best action to take.” Your emotions and feelings play a major role in why we do things. If we listen to our feelings then we can find more things about us that we didn’t know. This could benefit us and help us appreciate more things and live but also may make us overthink some times. Karl Perera mentioned, “Introspection is good in small doses. If you are feeling very tired or have no energy and can’t find a solution as things keep rolling through your mind over and over then it is time to stop.” Overall, everyone connects with things differently; it is interesting to notice how you feel in certain situations.
