Culture and anarchy is a notorious philosophical work written by the celebrated Victorian poet and critic Mathew Arnold. This essay was first published in âCornhill Magazineâ during 1867-â68. Its full name is âCulture and Anarchy: An Essay in Political and Social Criticismâ.
Queer theory is a field of critical theory that emerged in the early 1990s out of the fields of queer studies and women's studies. Queer theory includes both queer readings of texts and the theorization of 'queerness' itself.[clarify] Heavily influenced by the work of Lauren Berlant, Leo Bersani, Judith Butler, Lee Edelman, Jack Halberstam,[1] and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, queer theory builds both upon feminist challenges to the idea that gender is part of the essential self and upon gay/lesbian studies' close examination of the socially constructed nature of sexual acts and identities.
 Abraham Cowley (pronounced Cooley) was born in London, the posthumous son of a wealthy London stationer.  He was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his BA in 1639, was made fellow in 1640, and became MA in 1643.  Cowley published his first volume of verse, Poetical Blossoms (1633), when he was 15.  The collection consisted of five poems, one of which Cowley had written at age 10.  He wrote a pastoral drama and a Latin comedy, Naufragium Ioculare (1638), when he was but 20.
Manâs Search for Meaning written by Viktor E Frankl is one of the most eminent and splendid
works of psychiatric literature after Freud. This book ââManâs Search for Meaningââ embodies an
account of the authorâs personal experiences while being a prisoner in a concentration camp.
According Frankl that the bookâs main objective is to answer the question-How the usual and
ordinary routine life in a concentration camp is portrayed through the mind of an ordinary prisoner

The way plays are written is a special style of writing called dramatic structure.
This style is different from the way a short story, novel, or poem is written.
In a play, the talk, or conversation between two or more characters is called dialogue.
Dialogue is not set in quotation marks. Instead, the characterâs name appears before the spoken part.
Plays are made up entirely of dialogue and stage directions, additional information provided by the playwright or author.
I read Does Culture Matter ? (taken from Two Cheers For Democracy ) by E M Forster . I answer this question as yes ,it matters .The very beginning of the essay is 'Culture is a forbidden word '.He uses it ,in a real and literal sense, for the modern ignorance of cultural stuff .
People are not interested in 'the Classics ' which are the real joy .They are interested in cheap amusement in form of parodies and pastiches which are representations of the real but not original -- hyperreal.
Culture is a kind of ambrosia which helps us in receiving the power to enjoy the Classics .It is not only British culture but the culture of every nation has its sacred importance ( not superstitiously but for the sake of its nation and universe ).
Bhai shab Anil Punia....ram ram phli to......now..... culture is overgrowing.... We can't say it's the 'culture'....culture changes as time changes......and yes culture matters..... Our good rational old faiths, rituals, festivals, our way of life...all is part of culture......nd if we r social beings....it affects us....nd matters for us....
Henrik Ibsen was born to Knud Ibsen and Marichen
Altenburg, a relatively well-to-do merchant family, in the
small port town of Skien, Norway.
He was a descendant of some of the oldest and most
distinguished families of Norway, including the Paus family.
Shortly after his birth his family's fortunes became very bad.
According to people in America or England, the only thing that interferes their lives and enjoyments is âstruggle for lifeâ or the competition especially between businessmen. This is their pure view of life and they blindly believe on it. But Russell then expresses his idea about the very topic and says that in some situations itâs true but on the other hand this statement is completely wrong. Russell says that struggle for life occurs to those who are unlucky, weak and submissive. To support his argument, Russell gives the example of Conradâs hero Folk who won the competition over meal from another man but he was purely vegetarian. According to Russell, people donât name this reason accurately rather they use an âinaccurate phraseâ for such trivial things just for the sake of their own dignity. Hence, Russell provides an accurate phrase for âstruggle of lifeâ which is âstruggle for successâ and according to him this is actually what people mean as well but they are unable to name it. So actually Russell first observes that the competition of the workplace is not nearly as serious as is usually imagined; failure does not result in death or starvation. People take the competition so seriously either because they do not realize they can take it less seriously, or because they believe that it would be dishonorable to slack off.
In this struggle for success or life, Russell points out that man does not seem to realize that they are âcaught in the grip of a mechanism from which there is no escapeâ and Russell also points out the drawback of such mechanism and thus put forward his statement that such mechanism repeat themselves and do not allow man âup to a higher level.â Then Russell provides the reader with a business manâs life in which he is very busy towards his struggle for life or success. Russell points out that throughout the day such a man is all engaged in great executions, firm law, âa decisive manner of speech, and an air of sagacious reserveâ to impress the allied class and not the âoffice boyâ. He keep in touch with his profitable persons and such a routine is continued till dinner time. Also at dinner table, he has to pretend to enjoy the company of his lady. Russell call such people âpoor manâ who are unable to escape unless or until they sleep. In the age of Russell, industrialization gave rise to so many tensions and competition is one of them. Through this detailed description of such a hectic life, Russell is trying to point out that in such a competitive era and life, man has forgot himself and his originality and now he is nothing but a machine.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. WHO IS Godot?
⢠Beckett is believed to have said that
the name Godot comes from the
French "godillot" meaning a military
boot. Beckett fought in the war and
so spending long periods of time
waiting for messages to arrive would
have been commonplace for him. The
more common interpretation that it
might mean "God" is almost certainly
wrong. Beckett apparently stated
that if he had meant "God," he would
have written "God". Godot: it is
relatively common name in French
4. Vladimir and Estrogan
⢠Vladimir and Estrogan represent
entire human race
⢠Through them we are able to
discover, how human behave
and act
⢠Human existence is seen
through absurd conversations
which these two man have.
Meaningless conversation and
action are used to simply ââpass
timeââ
5. Tree
⢠The tree may represent the cross on
which JESUS crucified , it stand as the
symbol of hope, because in the end of
play, it has leave.
ď¨ (Also, if you check out the painting that inspired
Beckett, youâll see that a big tree features
prominently.) Right off the bat youâve got the
biblical stuff; Jesus was crucified on a cross, but
that cross is sometimes referred to as a "tree," as
in, "Jesus was nailed to the tree."
6. Hanging
⢠Both character , Vladimir
and Estrogan, consider
hanging themselves as
way out of their situation.
They decide against it
eventually as they wait in
hopes that Godot will
resolve their problem.
7. A country road, over the span of two nights.
Unknown time and place
ď¨ Wrong palace/wrong time. The tramps are confused about the time and
palace where to meet GODOT. This represent their confusion of life
itself
ď¨ . We are never really sure whether act one and act two take place
in the same location, other than the fact that Beckett describes it
as such in the stage directions.
ď¨ We also donât know what lies offstage, since Vladimir and
Estragon are always forced back onto the stage in some form or
another.
ď¨ Depending on the design of a production, the set is more or less
ornate. Sometimes there is literally nothing else onstage than the
actors and the tree.
ď¨ The effect of Beckettâs minimally described set is that we have
absolutely no idea where Vladimir and Estragon are either in time
or in place. The past?
ď¨ The future? Earth? An imaginary place in one of their heads? We
just donât know. Itâs almost like uncertainty is a main theme in
the play and we as the audience experience it the same way
Vladimir and Estragon do.
8. Ditch
⢠This may refer to the biblical
parable of good Samaritan in
which a kind traveler helps a
man who has been beaten and
robbed. No one ever helps
Estrogan . His lying in the ditch
shows how the friends who have
seen better days , are now poor
and reduced to violent
circumstances
9. The Carrot
⢠This carrot is a good comic relief
in which both Vladimire and
Estrogan canât agree on the
vegetable. No matter what we
called it, we will referring to the
same thing; Vladimir
⢠Nothing you can do about it.
⢠Estrogan no use wriggling
⢠Vladimir the essential does not
change.
⢠At first they were bickering over
the way carrot tasted. It doesnât
really matter who is right and who
is wrong about the carrot.
10. ⢠This symbolizes our questions
of reality. We put label on
things, but that is not really the
way things really are.
⢠We want to see the absolute
truth but we canât.
11. The road
⢠Its like road of life. Just like
human life has not clear
beginning, the road has no
clear ending .
⢠It is things have to be
because we are put on this
earth as humans, we have
no clear sense of purpose
12. Vladimirâs song
⢠Vladimir song: its reflection of
how all the action in the play
repeat themselves and circular in
nature so is this song.
⢠Song in act two, death is a theme
13. Pozzo
⢠He sees himself a superior
being. He recognized the
tramps as inferior species as
myself. ( he burst in enormous
laugh) of the same species as
pozzo. He is self-absorbed
and sees himself ââGodlike
imageââ pozzo has desire to
command and dominate lucky.
14. Smell
ď¨ Estragon is repeatedly repelled by smells in Waiting
for Godot. Vladimir stinks of garlic, Lucky smells like
who knows what, and Pozzo reeks of a fart in Act II.
ď¨ It seems every time Estragon tries to get close to a
person, he is repelled by their odor.
ď¨ It looks to us like smells represent one of the barriers
to interpersonal relationships. Estragon isnât just
repelled by odors â heâs repelled by the visceral
humanity of those around him.
ď¨ Thereâs something gritty and base about the odor of
a human body, and for Estragon itâs too much to
handle.
15. Lucky
⢠He represent a pathetic specimen of
human race.
⢠He is called ââpigââ and ââhogââ and even
ââcertainââ by others and yet feel ââlucky
ââ to belong to their group and live as a
slave while eating scraps which are
thrown to him. He wants his master
respect like humans, we do what we
can do to impress our GOD, to see
that we are worth something.
⢠His name is ironic as his fortunate
even when his master is blind.
â˘
16. Nightfall and the Rising Moon
ď¨ While Vladimir and Estragon wait for Godot, they
also wait for nightfall. For some reason (again,
arbitrary and uncertain), they donât have to wait
for him once the night has fallen.
ď¨ The classic interpretation is that night = dark =
death. The falling of night is as much a reprieve
from daily suffering as death is from the suffering
of a lifetime.
Thereâs also the issue of the moon, as its
appearance in the sky is the real signal that night
has come and the men can stop waiting for Godot.
ď¨ Estragon, in one of his "wicked smart" moments,
comments the moon is "pale for weariness [âŚ] of
climbing heaven and gazing on the likes of us."
Though the man remembers nothing of yesterday,
he does in this moment seem to comprehend the
endless repetition of his life.
ď¨ And if the moon is weary just from watching,
imagine what that says about the predicament of
the men themselves.
17. Gogoâs nightmare
⢠These represent
discomfort and lack of
tranquility of tramps with
regards to their
situation. They have an
inability to laugh
18. The HAT
⢠Unexplained and illogical things happen
with the hat
⢠Lucky begins speaking nonsense
when puts on hat
⢠Vladimir, and estrogan exchange their
hats with lucky many times until
Vladimir question, if he looks good in
the hat, he has present on
⢠This is no logical reason to this action
but it shows humor in the things human
do.
19. Boot
⢠This is always put on and take off.
When boot is of estrogan look
inside and sees nothing, when he
puts its boot sees reality, the world
and how nothing make any sense.
⢠Estrogan: continuously look inside
as a way of passing time.
⢠This shows absurdity in human,
because no matter how many
times we take to try to figure things
out, we miss picture by wasting
time on pointless mater.
20. The Bone
⢠This symbolizes poverty, they
do not have enough for
themselves to eat. They beg
to survive, estrogan and lucky
are through order to survive.
Estrogan and lucky are
deprived of food for while so
they are willing to eat
anything
21. The Bag
⢠Lucky carries bag he never
stop to trying to carry. Pozzo
doesnât force lucky this bag
but lucky prove himself to his
master. He feels as if he
carries it around to show his
determination and devotion to
making pozzo happy.
22. The Rope
⢠Lucky is a slave tied to his master .
⢠Pozzo is healthy and o lucky could think the rope
try the two together was long, when pozzo was
blind and needed lucky who was dumb to guide
him rope was short.
⢠This symbolizes how the distance between the god
and his slave is great, when god is powerful and
healthy.
⢠However, when rope is short the distance between
to is smaller, because their greatness is not in
contrast as much.
â˘
23. ⢠When estrogan and
Vladimir try to hang them
with a cord it breaks,
they remind themselves
to bring rope tomorrow.
⢠Rope bonds them
together with same
purpose
