Text of the page (random words):
antithesis synthesis aufgehoben uniting opposites and then starting the process all over again in endless cycles i should post the link to my senior paper on hegel if i were asking the opening question of for a seminar on the iliad perhaps i would ask what would achilles attitude be towards ethnocide in fact i wonder what the earliest historical example is of a writer describing ethnocide in modern terms and conceding that it may be morally repugnant what china did to tibet is considered a form of ethnocide not because they slew all tibetans but because china systematically with malice of forethought destroyed the fabric of tibetan culture and tradition conservative islamic societies who wage a soft war against western internet influence view the demonic west as attempting ethnocide in the sense that our secular material culture threatens to destroy the islamic moral fabric of their youth you might say that islam sees the west as guilty of socrates crime corrupting the youth and they are wondering how large a chalice of hemlock to prepare if lets be imaginative say stalin has a tardis time travel machine ok he steals it from dr who and stalin travels back in time with weapons of mass destruction and gives achilles the button what does achilles do if achilles pushes that button then bing bang boom troy is gone is the poetry gone is the plot gone or does the poetry and drama morph into something that culture has yet to imagine achilles starts asking stalin some questions stalin explains the usual dictator stuff you know one death is a tragedy ten million deaths is a statistic there is one little sentence in american history that no one really seems to think deeply about live free or die http en wikipedia org wiki live_free_or_die the question is when does the or die kick in and how does it play out the way i see it achilles knew how and when to die but america has forgotten how to kill in the way that achilles killed and with all due respect america may have forgotten the how and why of when to die now purely by coincidence i just finished watching a netflix dvd the taking of pelham 123 with john travolta we could have an interesting discussion if we carefully analyze that movie from the perspective of achilles stalin and dr who but then we would have to talk about who is the most free when are we the most free and what makes us so free tags achilles dr who peace stalin travolta war posted in essay ethics movies philosophy polychem religion 1 comment the swing of the pendulum august 13 2009 on line helping a high school student with an assignment circa 2005 student do you know what an opposing viewpoint of the korean war is william here is one excerpt from a site the communist north invaded the free or relatively free and anti communist south in an attempt to unify read take over all of korea after ww2 the former japanese territory of korea was divided and occupied by the ussr in the north and the us in the south with the resulting nations being allied with their former occupiers during the cold war there was only one cause north korea encouraged by the soviet union falsely believing that the united states would not take action attacked unarmed south korea in order to unite the country under its own tyrannical communist regime student so in simple terms what does that mean william as you can see from the page it is not a simple question different people have different answers but some answers seem better to me than others let me pick out what seems a better answer this one is pretty good both sides communist north and capitalist south wanted to unify the country the us actually thought that the south would invade the north thus they only gave them limited equipment unlike the north who were armed by the soviets and chinese as the south often boasted about such an ability acheson us secretary of state announced just before the north s invasion that the us would retaliate to any enemy advancement on a number of places he didn t include south korea in this list this was seen by the north as a green light so they invaded you can trace the origins even further back though to ww2 for example and japanese imperialism it is not however a simple case of the north started it because it was communist no doubt the south would have done student okay i got that but with the wording of an opposing viewpoint how would i word it william well the two opposing views in korea were the north who wanted to unite north and south under communism and the south who wanted to unite north and south under capitalism then you have the question of opposing views in america namely to get involved in korea vs to stay out just like vietnam in the 1960 s and iraq today which opposing views depends on who you are talking about here is a really good page too http www johndclare net cold_war10 htm student would an effect be that north korea an south korea still didn t come together william the korean war never ended officially it is the longest running cease fire in the history of the world student okay now to bug ya again if you don t mind what are two opposing view points of the bombing of hiroshima an nagasaki william if you look at recent documentaries made about north korea you see that they feel america is the great devil if their electric power dims they say oh it is those darn americans and they are sort of weird in that they worship their dead leader like a god and have officially made him leader forever so north korea is one of the axis of evil powers that bush speaks of along with islamic fundamentalists who seek america s destruction so we live in fear today and consider war and i suppose even secretly consider nuclear strikes as a defense student i totally agree william it sort of all boils down to who will develop environmentally safe efficient weapons of mass destruction and then decide to use them to totally annihilate the threatening opposing nations it boils down to a matter of ideological enemies in other words islamic ideology belief sees western ways as satanic demonic and communists see capitalists as devils enemies oppressors trying to conquer the world you see if it were just a matter of hating some person like bush or castro well after 80 years or less that person would die and people would forget but ideologies beliefs principles like islam capitalism communism will never go away unless entire peoples are annihilated as a genocide ethnocide yes all sides communist capitalist muslim christian live in fear of their enemy and harbor secret plans to annihilate them with conventional warfare or possibly even genocide with weapons of mass destruction if the wrong people get there hands on efficient environmentally safe weapons of mass destruction then they will use it in a heart beat and feel that they are pleasing god in doing so you see we can wage all the conventional wars we please but as long as some of the people survive then in a few generations they will raise up more fundamentalist terrorist guerrilla fighters so the terrorism will go on for decade after decade generation after generation because their ideology their belief will never disappear there are always opposing views in america regarding any military action and there are opposing views in the country where there is to be war conflict perhaps there are iraqis who are glad the usa came because they hated feared saddam and suffered under him while other iraqis hate americans and wish saddam had stayed in power in america ever since vietnam days we call them hawks and doves hawks want to fight doves want peace supposedly we are always fighting for the sake of achieving some future peace or preserving freedom and avoiding tyranny dictatorship slavery oppression of course peace so far is an illusion because there always seems to be a war going on somewhere it is a catch 22 situation you will read the book by that name one day by joseph keller which is where the expression comes from catch 22 means no matter what you do your in trouble damned if you do and damned if you don t because there really is always the threat of some evil enemy who wants to enslave one decade it is hitler another decade it is ussr and khrushchev another decade it is saddam and bin laden or castro so we cannot not fight or disarm because then we would be invaded and enslaved student right that s true william on the other hand there is no hope of future peace and an end to war unless one ideological side totally annihilates the other side which is genocide ethnocide but that is considered a terrible crime yet all war and killing is an evil student of course it is that s also true william who can say perhaps it is the greater evil to fight conventional wars for centuries and never have peace rather than bite the bullet commit genocide and once and for all eliminate the opposition so that the surviving world would all be homogeneous in ideological beliefs but then even if america canada britain australia new zealand etc whoever you see as alike homogeneous if they were to annihilate north korea all islamic nations whoever you see as trouble spots well there is no guarantee that the surviving peoples after 100 years would not evolve factions of ideological difference and be at it all over again student you know whats weird you know those ancient egyptian people well i think it s weird i was with my girl and she was talking about how she watched a t v show on how they had predicted all the earths rotations and all of that stuff an they were said to be about 0003 off that s how close william yes the ancients were amazingly accurate about astronomy measurements though they had no computers or other sophisticated instruments the egyptian ptolemy around 200 a d an astronomer looked at the tables of the sun rising and setting during the year at different latitudes and he realized that there must be two spots on the earth which we now call north pole and south pole where twice a year the sun just rides around the horizon neither rising nor setting which is what happens at the poles even lucretius and democritus in ancient times believed that the world was composed of atoms but they had no way to prove it scientifically the theory of atoms was not really accepted as scientific fact until the late 1800 s now if you were to walk around the streets of any slum and walk up to dropouts and ask them they would say yo man stuff is made of atoms what i mean is it has become common knowledge and belief even for people with very little education and if you walked around any city ghetto full of dropouts wearing a t shirt which said e mc2 they would all say yo man einstein relativity that is it has a lot of what is called street level recognition student right william same thing with genetics genes viruses infection bacteria so someone could try to make a chart of street smarts from ancient times to the present each century and try to predict project where street level comprehension might be in another 100 or 1000 years i mean 500 years ago not everyone could read and write or do arithmetic that would be a good project for someone student right it would be william you see our problems today have to do with the street level knowledge world wide of religion history economics lots of people were really sophisticated and worldly then they might not want to be suicide bombers and they might not believe that god was waiting to give them a bunch of dancing girls and rivers of wine if they blow themselves up which is what they do believe now and why they are willing to blow themselves up student right william i mean lots of street level understanding were to reach the average person about things like race why then people would not think twice about mixing races in dating marriages and there would be less prejudice and gradually racial and cultural differences would disappear because everyone would be part white part asian part black part jewish etc etc a melting pot but you see internet is a melting pot of ideas where everyone around the world uses google search engines and reads the same things in the same language so you can make friends with people in singapore malaysia africa india and they will talk and think just like you even the same slang words i mean just like you or me or anyone in the usa the greatest weapon that we have against the fundamentalists is mcdonald s nike jack daniels revlon etc namely they all want the cosmetics fashion fast foods media cell phones i pods it is all very seductive to the youth around the world one interesting book written by a women professor of literature in tehran iran is called reading lolita in tehran she was there after the revolution after the overthrow of western shah student right william she would secretly read books like nabokov s lolita and fitzgerald s great gatsby with young women and the young women want freedom individuality empowerment not veils and restrictions so one of nabokov s big statements in another novel not lolita is curiosity is the highest form of insubordination student yes i see william but tyrants and dictators do not want a free people who read and think and question student right william oh the first american novel to sell over 1 million copies was written by a woman in 1850 and called wide wide world about a 13 year old girl who looses her parents and must learn to survive and take care of herself student right i see william that whole book is available on line for free and even has nice original illustrations http digital library upenn edu women warner susan wide wide html the author was susan warner she used the pen name elizabeth wetherell the other really influential book in america was by a woman uncle tom s cabin about the evils of slavery i think it was harriet beecher stowe and when lincoln met her he said here is the lady who started the civil war her book had a lot to do with stirring up the nations opinion regarding slavery i met this young woman from egypt working in the usa married and muslim so i said well since your religion allows your husband up to 4 wives then is that ok with you if he takes several others and she said no way i don t want to share with anyone so you see women don t really like the ideas of islam when they see a different culture and way of life plural marriages one husband several wives are interesting to study they take place even today among certain mormons in utah and in islam and some other cultures like in india or africa but the women to accept such a thing have to be brought up in a culture where it is acceptable and they must look upon each other as sisters i guess and they look upon the husband as something very different from the western notion of romantic love i bought a novel by sinclair lewis called kingsblood royal written in 1940 about a prosperous white banker in south who suddenly discovers that he has one black ancestor and therefore his is 1 32 part negro so he starts to re examine all the racial pre...
