Barney Frank?s Partisan Prejudice

Without Prejudice
2008-04-16 08:38:00 For the past two days I attended a settlement course in a very gorgeous hotel. It's rather late, considering I have been here since last June and know most of the absolute essentials, but it's still worth to attend, and I got to see new people and had free lunches, yay! The course is done to help people settling nicely in a host country. Unsettling employees and partners could jeopardize their posting, their unhappiness threaten their productivities because they are worried about other matters rather than their jobs, and the company could loose their valuable resources. So 2 days course in a very nice hotel with free lunches is worth spent.For those who just come to a new place, or even those who repatriate back after spending years in other countries, this course is very helpful. In fact there were two Scots in our course and even they found many things they didn't know, and lots of things have changed since they left.The abovementioned absolute essentials topic covers subjects ...

Pride and Prejudice: Title
2008-03-30 17:23:00 Pride and Prejudice was first written in 1797 under the title ?First Impressions?. It was later revised and published under the title?Pride and Prejudice? in 1813.In the novel, first impressions do play an important part: Elizabeth is misled in her judgment and estimation of both Darcy and Wickham. Her regard and sympathy for Wickham and her hostility and prejudice against Darcy are due to the first impressions. But when we study the novel deeply andseriously we can easily see that the title ?Pride and Prejudice? is more apt and more befitting to it. The first impressions which the character gets of each other take up only the first few chapters. The novel is more about the pride of Darcy and the prejudice of Elizabeth and the change of attitude in Darcy and Elizabeth?s correction of her first impression.At the apparent level, we see that Darcy embodies pride ? he is possessed by family pride. As Wickham tells Elizabeth that he has a ?filial pride?, in his ?father and brotherly prid...
Default Pride and Prejudice: Art of Characterization
2008-03-30 16:47:00 The range of Jane Austen?s characters is rather narrow. She selects her characters from among the landed gentry in the countryside. Sir Walter Scott very accurately describes this range: ?Jane Austen confines herself chiefly to the middling classes of society ? and those which are sketched with most originality and precision, belong to a class rather below that standard.? She omits the servants and the labourers. They appear wherever they are needed but they are usually not heard. Aristocracy also is hardly touched and if taken, it is only to satirize. Lady Catherine in ?Pride and Prejudice? is arrogant, pretentious, stupid and vulgar. Austen finds herself at home only with the country gentry and their usual domestic interests.In spite of such a limited range, Austen never repeats her characters. Lord David Cecil says: ?In her six books, she ever repeats a single character ? There is all the difference in the world between the vulgarity of Mrs. Bennet and the vulgarity of Mrs. Je...
Pride and Prejudice: Irony
2008-03-30 16:28:00 Irony is the very soul of Jane Austen?s novels and ?Pride and Prejudice? is steeped in irony of theme, situation, character and narration. Irony is the contrast between appearance and reality.As one examines ?Pride and Prejudice?, one is struck with the fact of the ironic significance that pride leads to prejudice and prejudice invites pride and both have their corresponding virtues bound up within them. Each has its virtues and each has its defects. They are contradictory and the supreme irony is that intricacy, which is much deeper, carries with it grave dangers unknown to simplicity. This type of thematic irony runs through all of Jane Austen?s novel.In ?Pride and Prejudice? there is much irony of situation too, which provides a twist to the story. Mr. Darcy remarks about Elizabeth that: ?tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me?? We relish the ironical flavour of this statement much later when we reflect that the woman who was not handsome enough to dance with was real...
Pride and Prejudice: Love and Marriage Theme
2008-03-30 16:03:00 Though, marriage is the end of Jane Austen?s novel, yet it evolves more than the conclusion of a simple love story. There is a depth, variety and seriousness in Jane?s treatment of these topics.Marriage was an important social concern in Jane Austen?s time and she was fully aware of the disadvantages of remaining single. In a letter to her niece, Fanny Knight, she wrote: "Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor - which is a very strong argument in favour of matrimony." The only option for unmarried woman in Jane Austen?s time was to care for someone else?s children as Jane Austen herself did; as there were no outlets for women.The novels of Jane Austen?s ? especially ?Pride and Prejudice? ? dramatize the economic inequality of women, showing how women had to marry undesirable mates in order to gain some financial security.The theme of love and marriage is one of the major themes in ?Pride and Prejudice?. Through five marriages, Jane Austen defines good and bad reaso...
Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen's Moral Vision
2008-03-30 15:20:00 Jane Austen is not a proclaimed moralist. Unlike Fielding, her aim is not to propagate the morality. She believes in art for the sake of art. She is the pioneer of the novels. Therefore, her plots are well-knit. Her main interest lies in irony and there is a hidden significance of morality as we come across her moral vision in her novels through irony.Jane Austen is in a favour of social prosperity than individual. She upholds the organic unity of society. She stresses that the duty of human beings owe to others, to society and maintains that individual desires have to be sub-ordinate to the large scale. Lydia-Wickham elopement is passionate and irresponsible. It shows that how society?s harmony is disrupted and how others lives are ruined by the selfish act of the individual. On the other hand the marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bingley bring happiness and stability to everyone, not simply to themselves. She discusses individuals ?short comings?. Even the hero and heroin...

Pride and Prejudice: A Novel with Limited Range
2008-03-28 15:42:00 Jane Austen confines her creative activity to the depiction of whatever fell within her range of personal experience. While her range of observation in life is not so wide her work has been variously called as the ?Two inches of ivory? and ?three or four families?. All these titles exhibit the excellence as well as the limitations of her craft and outlook.Although she works on a very small canvas, yet she has widened the scope of fiction in almost all its directions. Her stories mostly have indoor actions where only family matters especially love and marriages are discussed. However, her plots are perfect and characterization is superb. All of her six novels, including ?Pride and Prejudice?, have been controversial since their publication, on account of Austen?s limited range. The critical view is divided in two groups ? detractors and admires. The former group had criticized her on various points.Critics object that her novels present a certain narrow physical setting. It was the ...
Table Manners - Eating Without Prejudice (?)
2008-03-25 15:42:00 In Indonesia, when we go to restaurants, there are no other way to grab waiter's attention but calling {this can go from mbak (sister) or ibu (ma'am), to unnecessary flirtatious remarks like sayang (darling) or cantik (gorgeous)}, waving (hand or napkin), or - these are extremely rude manners - whistling, clapping and flicking your fingers.I am told that in UK you should not do anything but engaging eye contacts (and souls, perhaps), until they realize that your plate is empty and you are ready for your second course. Rather than eye movements, any gestures will be considered rude. No calling "xcuse me!", no frantic waving, and don't you dare to whistle, clap or flick your fingers if you want to be ignored for the rest of the night, or worse, have your soup tasted like feet because probably someone dropped his shoes accidentally into it. So imagine that you're extremely thirsty and longing to have your glassed refilled, and you desperately are staring to those busy waiters, hop...

Media And Political Prejudice
2008-03-23 05:07:00 I just wanted to point out the prejudice that still exists in society. It is so blunt that even the Associated Press goes without being noticed.On Saturday, the AP published an article about New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson endorsing Barack Obama. The headline read, "Hispanic Gov. Richardson endorses Obama."Apparently it's more important to point out that Richardson is Hispanic instead of the governor of New Mexico. But, then again, isn't it race that has driven Richardson to endorse Obama?How can the nation overcome prejudice and racism when its media and politicians indulge in it? Am I a bad of a person for pointing it out? I guess everyone's guilty. You be the judge...

ABC Fakes Muslim Prejudice, Unsurprisingly Finds ‘Islamophobia’
2008-02-28 02:14:00 Apparently to prove that the US is filled with Muslim hating Yahoos, ABC went on the hunt to find “Islamophobia” in America and the result is “Witness to Discrimination: What Would You Do?” Since they didn’t really know where to find any, ABC News decided to create their own prejudice against Muslims by hiring an actress to put on Muslim dress and get “confronted” by a Muslim hating coffee store server — also an actor hired by ABC. Then, they rolled the cameras, opened the doors to the public and, viola, ABC “found” prejudice in America. How hard is it to “find” something that you invented in the first place? Let’s find out… ABC is “shocked” to find that their little manufactured moments revealed how some customers reacted. “Bystanders Turn Away When Muslim Actor Hired By ‘Primetime’ Encounters Hostility,” ABC proclaimed.

Review: Pride and Prejudice
2007-11-18 00:31:00 Pride and Prejudiceby Jane AustenPride and Prejudice is a story of love and life among English gentility during the Georgian era. Mr Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hartfordshire with his overbearing wife. The Bennets’ 5 daughters include the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia. Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr. Bennet dies, their house will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security is dependant on the daughters making good marriages. Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr. Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country. Mr. Bingley brings with him his sister and the dashing (and richer) but proud Mr. Darcy. Love is soon in the air for one of the Bennet sisters, while another may have jumped to a hasty prejudgment. For the Bennet sisters many trials and tribulations stand betwee...

Pies and Prejudice
2007-11-11 13:29:00 One of the sure signs of getting older is listening to Radio 2, not in some kind of ironic post-modern way but because, of all the options available, it seems like the best one. And if you listen to Radio 2 then it's pretty much required to like Stuart Maconie, since it seems like half their output involves him. Fortunately I fall into that category. The man's funny and it's always good to hear a Northern accent on the radio (even if it has been softened, presumably from too many years living in the South). So when I saw his book 'Pies and Prejudice - In Search of the North' I was interested. When I read the back cover 'A northerner in exile, stateless and confused' I thought yep that's me and promptly bought it (OK I put it on my Amazon wish list and somebody bought it for me several months later). And it's a great read. He writes like he talks, so if you like his shows you'll like the book. Any Northerner reading it will no doubt be disappointed by his lack of coverage ...

The Hip Hop police... pure prejudice!
2007-10-19 17:33:00 There have been stories about the NYPD's Hip-Hop Cops, most recently Sean Gardiner's "The Game's Bad Rap" in last week's issue. But who has seen these cops, except for the rappers they've tailed?It was a rare treat when members of the phantom unit materialized outside the West Village club S.O.B.'s on September 18. After a concert thrown by AllHipHop.com, two men in their thirties accosted an up-and-coming rapper and told him to come with them. When he resisted, he says, the men?one white, one black?flashed badges and identified themselves as members of the "hip-hop police." They interrogated the rapper outside the venue. "It really bugged me out," says the rapper, who requested anonymity. "There was no possible way [they] could know certain details unless they were in the VIP section." When the rapper began to talk back, he says, the undercover Hip-Hop Cops advised his manager to quickly put him in a cab. The manager complied. When the rapper returned home, he adds, he notice... |
