The Use of Body Metaphors in Contemporary Text
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the use of body metaphors in contemporary text. Metaphors within contemporary text are used to emphasize particular events, situations, emotions or physical states and are considered by some that today “one cannot think without metaphors”. The use of body metaphors within text is easy to grasp for all readers who can relate more so to images related to the body that with objects to which they have little association. There are two different types of body metaphors used most frequently in text and conversations. Firstly, within text, body parts can be used to emphasize a particular function of an object in relation to its whole. This is common in political functions such as in instances of “head of state”, “body of the assembly”, “arms of the network” and “military footmen”; all which emphasize the function of that person, place or object within the system as a whole. Another type of body metaphor is in reference to the feelings within a body itself such as when an individual describes himself as being “torn in two”, “up against a wall”, or “hot-blooded” in which individuals may use metaphors to explain a state or condition and are often considered as “images of speech” and in the case of psychiatric counseling the “metaphor captures their feelings and beliefs about themselves”.

Theda Skocpol’s Use of Mill’s Methods of Agreement and Difference in Her Studies in Social Revolution: Examples of Methods Applied and Lieberson’s Critique
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Skocpol’s use of Mill’s methods of agreement and difference in her studies of social revolutions. In Theda Skocpol’s “States and Social Revolutions: A Comparative Analysis of France, Russia and China”, she uses John Stuart Mills’ methods of agreement and difference to appropriate logical causes of social revolutions in her comparative historical analyses. Stanley Lieberson, on the other hand, disagreed with Skocpol’s application of Mill’s methods when applied to small-N situations in sociological inquiry and this application of Mill by Skocpol “does not allow for probabilistic theories, interaction effects, measurement errors, or even the presence of more than one cause”. Despite this argument, most social researchers, including Skocpol agree that Mill’s methods can be used in social comparative research as long as the causes discussed are only generalized to those cases studied. In Skocpol’s study, the cause of social revolutions in France, Russia and China were based largely on the organized peasant revolts and the breakdown of the monarchical state administrations.

Theoretical Analysis of “Academic Credibility and the Hospitality Curriculum: The Image Problem”
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper evaluating one short article in terms of interpretive social theory and then briefly assess it in terms of functionalism, conflict theory and critical theory. Examining this single article in terms of various social theories highlights the necessity of applying appropriate theory to social issues. Evaluation in terms of interpretive theory is justifiable and valid; the same nearly can be said of conflict theory though its application here stretches its meaning. Functionalist and critical theories are best left to other topics. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
