I believe that the best way to go about doing so would be to capture the essence, or the soul, if you will, of the discipline or discourse. As During touches on, and as I have read and heard countless … [Read more…]

I found it similar to the conversation we had in class about the use of animals to symbolize evil or monsters. The comparisons used towards furthering racism can be slightly different, as the … [Read more…]
