social media in philosophy
(1) Present the main elements of one concrete situation or event, which can be taken
from your own experience, from history, from the news, from another class, from
a movie, from a book, from a videogame, etc.
(2) Present a detailed explanation of that situation/event using the concepts
introduced in one of the readings we discussed this semester. You can choose any
reading we discussed.
(3) Present an objection to your explanation: how could somebody holding a
different position interpret the situation/event you have presented and how could
they answer to your own explanation of that situation/event?
(4) Respond to that objection from the point of view you have chosen to defend.
Example: I have recently read on the New York Times that a big cryptocurrency company
went bankrupt and millions of dollars disappeared into nothing in a few days if not
minutes. Suppose that I choose to focus on that situation, and I decide to explain it using
the conceptual framework of Descartes' First Meditation. (1) So I start my paper by
giving a brief but clear and comprehensive account of that situation as I read it on the
New York Times. (2) Then I explain that scenario using Descartes' First Meditation, for
example by raising the question of the metaphysical status of cryptocurrency: is it real?
Is it something of whose existence we can doubt? Is it something that has a physical
consistency? Following the lead of Descartes' First Meditation, I argue that
cryptocurrency is not real in the sense that it is nothing outside our own minds. (3) I then
present an objection to my Cartesian interpretation of cryptocurrency, for example
supposing that someone might argue that cryptocurrency is both real and physical
because (a) it depends on some physical machinery carrying out algorithms and (b) it has
some very real consequences on economics and on the lives of people (especially those
who invested on it). (4) I respond to that objection arguing that many things that exist
only in our mind (for example, dreams, imaginary characters, moral ideals) have a real
influence on our lives, but that this doesn't make them any more real, in the sense that
they still have existence only in our minds.
Please note that this is only an example (and probably not a very good one), and it is
given to illustrate how you should proceed. You should choose a situation or event
different from the one I have given in my example, and you should analyze it from a
perspective different from the one I have indicated in the example.
bunch 15 to 19, north of 33% of ladies in west Bengal and 35 percent in India overall were hitched in 1991". This recommends a young lady's character in India is developed inside marriage as having a place with her better half early on. Young ladies were viewed as a weight, costing their folks cash, while young men were viewed as the main beneficiaries and providers once mature enough.
A worldwide survey led by Thomson Reuters (2017) evaluated India as the "fourth most hazardous country" universally for ladies. Orientation separation isn't just discriminatory yet in addition discourages the improvement of the country. For quite a long time, lady and their freedoms have been mistreated by the strength of men. There has been proceeded with battle for the acknowledgment of lady's social jobs and accomplishments, and for their social and political privileges. It was a lot of a man centric culture for lady, which ruined or kept lady from understanding their useful potential outcomes. They have been mistreated to where they were treated as 'others' (Gilroy, 1998). Accordingly, to battle against the said issues ladies play changed their part in the general public altogether after WWI. Twenty first century has gotten quite a while in the desires and perspectives of ladies. Ladies have withdrawn from their conventional job of reproducers, moms and spouses to now being workers, autonomous and decisive. Monetary pay of the family has likewise expanded prompting better ways of life. In any case, this tremendous change has hindrances as well. It tends to be contended because of both working guardians, the kids endure as their social information is fragmented. Youngsters are losing the virtues that are educated by moms. The quality time which a mother used to enjoy with her youngsters is missing and consequently the development of their way of life and character is restricted.
In spite of ladies' liberation, there will constantly be a sad remnant of uncertainty while recruiting a female. A new report completed by the College of London (2016) uncovered that 70% of the enormous organizations are even bound to acknowledge a man, since he is a man, instead of a more experienced and skilled lady. This dependable examination demonstrates that individuals' perspective can't be changed, reducing ladies' odds of coming out on top in their vocations. This is as yet evident in specific societies.
Revolutionary women's activists like Kate Millet (1970) and Shulamith Firestone (1970) view the family and marriage as the crucial establishments in a male-overwhelmed society. Despite the development in wedded ladies working during the twentieth 100 years, a lady's vital obligation keeps on being of a housewife job. Jonathon Gershuny (1994) found that wedded ladies who kept positions actually attempted 83% of housework. Women's activist, Ann Oakley (1974) dislikes Youthful and Wilmott's translation that the family is presently 'even' (Oakley, 2011). During her own examination on housewives, she uncovered discoveries that while spouses can give some assistance in the home, she tracked down no proof of a development towards f
