Foods, whether homemade or fast-foods are meant to serve one major purpose; satisfying hunger. Depending on quantity, food fills the void in the stomach to meet the primary need for satisfaction of hunger to supply energy to the body. The genre of this article was health; its entire argument was to give the reader the message that cooking at home is much healthier and better for you than eating at a restaurant or eating microwavable dinners. Bestselling food writer Mark Bittman makes the case that

Today, there is at times nearly as much concern about the materials with which we store and prepare food as there is about food itself. Cast iron cookware is an attractive alternative to the chemical-laden stainless steel and aluminum cookware that dominates the majority of American kitchens. In a way, the use of cast iron cookware is nostalgic because in many previous centuries iron was the metal of choice for our ancestors' pots and utensils.

Chapter 2 Ladybirds’ Cinderella (Fig. 6) from 1944 was an exception in publishing during this period. It is this very book that helped Ladybird move from the war era into the modern commercial era. This was because the book was published just as WWII was ending, meaning that more money was available to the company and they could finally afford to produce a book that was in some way a homage to how their books were produced before the war. As labour and materials was still scarce, the company had

The Christmas spirit has been significantly transformed by the overwhelming presence of commercialism during the holiday season. Americans suffer from a very distinct culture of consumerism that has greatly altered the way in which certain holidays, special events, and social engagements have been heavily affected. The commercialistic attitudes towards Christmas have radically evolved. Over the decades, Americans have given into the intense consumerism culture that major corporations have inflected

A holiday I wish we would have is a sequel to Halloween. I think it will be the middle of January and October. Just to remind us, Halloween is only a few months away. If we plan out how much candy to eat and when to eat it, we will never run out of chocolate at home. I am going to try to tell you everything that happened today. I woke up, I really have to wake up. If I don’t wake up, people would think I am dead. Ha. Ha. Ha. And like normal people, I brushed my teeth, I took a bath and

Mobashshir Arshad Ansari DM 16230 The movie “12 Angry Men” is a court drama based movie. The entire film takes place within a small New York City jury room, on "the hottest day of the year," as 12 men debate the fate of a young defendant charged with murdering his father. Most courtroom movies feel it necessary to end with a clear-cut verdict. But "12 Angry Men" never states whether the defendant is innocent or guilty if innocent then who is guilty. It is about whether the jury has a reasonable doubt

The discourse of Socrates and Euthyphro In Euthyphro, Plato recites a conversation Socrates has with Euthyphro by “the Porch of the King” (Plato, 41). The Greek philosopher and his religious interlocutor Euthyphro mainly talk about the true meaning of piety, although it is less of a conversation and more of Socrates challenging Euthyphro, after the latter claimed that he knew everything about religious matters, and therefore piety. Socrates explains his need for Euthyphro to teach him by explaining

Wilde’s Concept of Art Along with “The Critic as Artist”, “The Decay of Lying” was included in the anthology “Intentions” in 1891, the year in which “Dorian Gray” was republished as a full-length novel. Both essays expound and defend Wilde’s aesthetic doctrines and both essays take the form of conversational dialogues . In “The Decay of Lying”, Wilde studies the relationship between art, life and nature. From the outset, Vivian, one of Wilde’s fictional characters, denounces nature as “crude”, “monotonous”

Music, like most forms of art, often shares subjective views with its listeners. An individual favourite song may be the next person's most hated song. Although different factors come into play when determining if music is good or not, there is no concrete definition of ‘good music’. Society continues to label certain songs originating from genres such as hip-hop, blaming the music for violent acts committed within society. In 1994, a 17-year-old shot a cop in Milwaukee, telling police that he was

December has always been a religiously diverse month, containing many holidays, including Christmas, Hanukkah, and Bodhi Day. Despite Canada’s cultural mosaic, though, one of these holidays is much more prominent: Christmas. Though celebrated by many people of all different religions, Christmas is still undeniably a Christian holiday, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Just because Christmas is easily the most celebrated December holiday doesn’t mean it’s the only one, though. As most people

2. Epistemological reception (I): Xenophanes The first known philosophical author who uses Homeric examples in his epistemological theory is Xenophanes, a sharp critic of Homer’s and Hesiod’s anthropomorphic depiction of the world. His style of writing is very epic-like since many of his fragments are written in hexameter verse. Moreover, his conceptual apparatus bears many similarities to the language of Homer and Hesiod. These traits are the reason why most modern scholars describe him as a kind

Exercising methodological individualism as opposed to methodological holism, Adam Smith employs his fundamental premise: every individual's choice is founded on their natural rational self-interest, to prove that the laws and functions of society are methodical, foreseeable, and governed by nature. Resting on this premise of natural rational self-interest, he foresees what actions individuals will take in a certain context to benefit themselves and employs this predictability as a method in determining

Innocence is a trait that disappears with experience; we are unable to earn it back once we have lost it. We often correspond innocence with the idea of adolescence and unknowing and experience with wisdom and maturity. This is true in all cases, we grow each and every day and have many experiences where we learn new and different things, but we can never unlearn what was already taught we can only forget. “The Blue Bouquet” by Octavio Paz portrays this idea of the personal journey from innocence

The Euthyphro is one of Plato’s classic dialogues. It is a well-verbalized piece which deals with the question of ethics, consisting of a conversation between Socrates and one other person who claims to be an expert in a certain field of ethics. It is additionally riddled with Socratic irony in which Socrates poses as the incognizant student hoping to learn from a supposed expert, when in fact he shows Euthyphro to be the nescient one who kens nothing about the subject being holiness. Plato's main
