Embodied agent

Broadway, Ex Machina and American Hustle all deal with the postmodern sensibility of possessing disdain towards the truth. Viewers are capable of seeing how the preference for spectacle over substance, nostalgia for the past and inability to trust are embodied and resolved in all four films’ central conflicts and themes. The Thomas Crown Affair exemplifies disregard and disrespect for reality within its plot. This film is a remake of the 1968 version, which exemplifies the postmodern inclination to regurgitate

root in the body—as it is somatized. For Bourdieu, symbolic violence is “the violence which is exercised upon a social agent with his or her complicity.” The language of complicity here is not a way of attributing conscious agency or volitional responsibility to those who are subjected to violence—as if to blame the victim. Rather, it is to suggest that while social agents are agents with consciousness and will, and moreover are also subjected to structural determinisms within their given social reality

Hitchcock’s 1946 Notorious takes place in the morally ambiguous world in the midst of post-World War Two where the questioning of alliances and moralities have reached a breaking point. Alicia, the daughter to an incarcerated Nazi supporter, finds herself in the midst of a purgatory world stuck in between love and hate, in other words one of ambivalence. In this state of conflicting feelings of hatred and like for the same individual that results in a state of uncertainty or irrationality, alcohol

help solve problems each and every day. Therefore, I aim to enter into dialogue honestly in all ways in an effort to create a supportive environment and preserve the relationship. I know there is a value to conflict and prescribe to the philosophy embodied in the adage “There is no bad from which good can not come.” (unknown) Therefore, I shall encourage others to recognize and value mistakes and failure. I believe all experiences lead to discovery and learning. To me, this mindset coupled with this

The D-Day invasion, also known as the Battle of Normandy, was the Allied attack on Western Europe on June 6, 1944. Canadian, British and American forces landed on five separate beachheads along the coast of Normandy, France. Altogether, approximately 178,000 Allied airborne and infantry troops were deployed. This invasion allowed the Allies to move into France and launch a final assault against Germany. Prior extensive preparations were instrumental in the success of the D-Day invasion, premeditating

that when violated law occurs a voice, but not the voice of an embodied agent, is heard giving reasonable reasons for granting the request. When the explosion occurs in my room, a voice emanating from no man or animal or man-made machine is heard saying "Your request is granted. He deserves a lesson". Would not all this be good reason for postulating a rational agent other than a material object who brought about the violated law, an agent powerful enough to change instantaneously by intervention the

In contrast to the liberation and artistic freedoms of Pollock’s revolutionary art, the American government preferred conservative work of artists like Norman Rockwell. Norman Rockwell’s paintings embodied a traditional, Regionalist style. One of Rockwell’s most renowned pieces of work is the Freedom From Want, representing the traditional and perfected American lifestyle. Painted in 1943, Rockwell depicts an ideal white American family celebrating Thanksgiving dinner. As an artist, Rockwell specialized

According to Moes and Tellinghuisen (2014), there are five themes of human nature. I will use Psychology in Modules, created by Myers and DeWall (2015) to explain how Module 9 (Sleep and Dreams) exemplify these three themes: humans are embodied, are responsible limited agents, and are meaning seekers (Moes and Tellinghuisen, 2014). The first theme of the three selected Moes and Tellinghuisen (2014) themes is embodiment. The Bible has said that without our physical body, we cannot not work with the “physical

accounting practices provoked a chain reaction towards a hospital accountant by the name of Rehberg. An accountant trying to serve justice was entangled in a web of lies. Rehberg vs. Paulk is a very interesting Supreme Court case. Rehberg vs. Paulk embodied much of the injustice that is not presented to the public when sworn officials break the very laws that are supposed to be protected. The Rehberg vs. Paulk case provides controversy among different jurisdictions within the judicial system and gives

President Hugo Chavez, characterized the socialism of the 21st century as the only alternative capable of contributing to the necessary overcoming of capitalism. Chavez helped to promote the power and activities of the working class and its allies as agents of social change. The biggest entering to socialism was seen in 2005/6. With a Chavez's presidency have been expanded and strengthened participatory option, structures of Committees.The idea of participation was officially defined in terms of people's
