Miscellaneous Signs CHAPTER I INNE R STATE AN D OUTE R F ORM Human Nature is a term most fre quently used and yet but little understood . The average person knows in a general way what he and others mean when this term is v employed , but ery few are able to give an o ff- hand defin ition o f the term o r to state what in their opinion constitutes the real e s sence of the thought expressed by the famil s of iar phra e . We are the Opinion that the first step in the proces s of correct under standing of any subject is that of acquaint h ance wit its principal terms , and, so , we shall begin o u r consideration of the subject of Human Nature by an examination of the term used t o express the idea itself. “ ” “ Human , of course, means of or per ” nk . taining to man or ma ind Therefore , Human Nature means the natu re of man or “ ” mankind . Nature , in this usage , means “ The natural disposition o f mind of any per son ; temper ; personal character ; individual 9 10 HUMA N NA TURE constitution ; the peculiar mental character istics and attributes which serve to distin ” guish one person from another . Thu s we see that the essence o f the natu re of men , or of a particular human being, is mind characteris the , the mental qualities , tics , properties and attributes . Human Nature is then a pha s e o f psychology and subject to the laws , principles and meth ods of study, examination and consideration s of that particular branch of cience . But while the general subject of psychology includes the consideration of the inner work of ings the mind, the processes of thought , of o f the nature feeling, and the Operation s the will , the pecial subject of Human Na ture is concerned only with the question o f ch e aracter , disposition , temperament , p r sonal attributes , etc . , of the individuals mak of ing up the race man . Psychology is gen — eral Human Nature is particular . Psychol — o gy is more or less abstract Human Nature is i concrete . Psychology deals w th laws , — causes and principle s Human Nature deals ff with e ects , manifestations , and expressions . Human Nature expresses itself in two gen INNER S T ATE AND OUTER FORM 11 i e 1 o f eral phases , . , ( ) the phase Inner States ; and ( 2 ) the phase o f Outer Forms . n These two phases , however, are ot separate o r c o m leme n Opposed to each other , but are p al tary aspects of the same thing . There is ways an action and reaction between the I n ner State and the Outer Form—between the Inner Feeling and the Outer Expression . If we know the particular Inner State we may infer the appropriate Outer Form ; and if we know the Outer Form we may infer the In ner State . That the Inner State affects the Outer Form is a fact generally ac knowledged by fo r men , it is in strict accordance with the general experience of the race . We know that certain mental states will result in im parting to the countenance certain lines and expressions appropriate thereto ; certain pe cu liaritie s O f carriage and manner, voice and demeanor . The facial characteristics , man o ner, walk , voice and gestures f the miser will be recognized as entirely different from that o f the generous per so n ; those of the coward differ materially from those o f the brave man ; those of the vain are distinguished from 12 HUMAN NATURE tho se of the modest . We know that certain mental attitudes will produce the correspond s s o f s ing physical expre ions a mile, a frown , an Open hand , a clenched fist, an erect Spine o r v bowed shoulders , respecti ely . We also know that certain feelings will cause the eye o r to sparkle g row dim, the voice to become resonant and positive o r to become husky and weak ; according to the nature of the feelings . “ of Prof . Wm . James says What kind emotion o f fear would be left if the feeling neither o f trembling lips nor of weakened o f -flesh limbs , neither goose nor of visceral stirrings , were present , it is quite impossible fo r o one me t think . Can fancy the state of rage and picture no ebullition in the chest , no of of flushing the face, no dilation the nostrils , of o v no clenching the teeth , n impulse to igor o u s s s action , but in their stead limp mu cle , ” calm breathing, and a placid face ? “ s h Prof. Halleck ays All t e emotions -d efined s have well muscular expre sion . Dar wm has written an excellent work entitled , T h e E xp res s io n of the E mo tio ns in M an and Animals , to which students must refer for a v detailed account of such expression . A ery INNER STATE AND OUTER FORM 13 ffi few examples must su ce here . In all the ex hilaratin g emotions , the eyebrows , the eye s lid , the nostrils , and the angles of the mouth are raised . In the depressing passions it is s the reverse . This general statement convey o s v s much truth , that a careful ob er er can read a large part of the history o f a human b F or eing written in the face . this reason many phrenologists have wisely turned phys io nomis g ts. Grief is expressed by raising of the inner ends the eyebrows , drawing ' of down the corners the mouth , and trans vers ely wrinkling the middle part o f the fore . of head In Terra del Fuego , a party na tive s conveyed to Darwin the id ea that a cer was low - r tain man spi ited, by pulling down their cheeks in order t o make their faces long . Joy is expressed by drawing back f ward and upward the corners o the mouth . The uppe r lip rises and draws the cheeks upi w T he ard , forming wrinkles under the eyes . elevation o f the upper lip and the nostrils ex s s presse contempt . A skillful ob erver can frequently tell if one person admires another . disclo s In this case the eyebrows are raised, ing a brightening eye and a relaxed expres sion ; sometimes a gentle smile plays about 14 HUMAN NA TURE i the mouth . Blushing is merely the phys cal c expression of certain emotions . We noti e the expression of emotion more in the cou nt e nance, because the effects are there more plainly visible ; but the muscles of the entire s body, the vital organ , and the viscera , are also v ehicles of expression . These things need but a mention in order dm to be recognized and a itted . This is the tio f ac n o the Inner upon the Outer . There reac tion o f is , however , a the Outer upon the so Inner , which while equally true is not gen e rall d y recognized nor a mitted, and we think it well t o briefly call your attention to the same, for the reason that this correspondence — between the Inner and the Outer this r eao — tion as well as the ac tion must be appre ciat ed in order that the —entire meaning and content of the subject o f Human Nature may be fully grasped . That the r eac tio n o f the Outer F orm upon the Inner State may be understood, we ask you to consider the following opinions of well -known and accepted authorities of the New Psychology, regarding the established fact that a phy sical expr es sio n r elat ed t o a INNE R STATE AND OUTE R FORM 15 mental s t ate will i volu nt aril indu ced , , f y , t end t o in tu rn indu ce the mental s tat e ap ro riat e t it p p o . We have used these quota o f tions in other books this series , but will insert them here in this place because they have a direct bearing upon the particular sub c e j t before us , and because they furnish di rect and unquestioned authority for the u statements just made by us .

It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future. 3 HUMAN NATURE DIRECTED BY ADAM BOLT BACKSTORY Human Nature is about the power of scientific research to change the course of human history, ​ evolution, and the natural world.

Enfield recalls a story involving the Story of the door. In the early hours of one winter morning, he says, he saw a man trampling on a young girl. He Door chased the man and brought him back to the scene of the crime. (The reader later learns that the man is Mr Hyde.)

Anderson: The Most Dangerous Man in England The Most Dangerous Man in England by Nicole Anderson (English 1102) he Victorian Era was a period marked by immense progress and tremendous achievement. Industry was booming, the economy was flourishing and gradually, society was changing T(Chakma). No single man was more aware of this fact than “the most dangerous man in England”: the English naturalist and biologist, Charles Darwin (Fichman 17). In 1859, Darwin first published his controversial work, The Origin of Species. He proposed that humans were the product of the evolution of a lower species, shaking the core of society. It was not the biological process of evolution that terrified the masses; it was what Victorians thought it suggested or predicted (Ape 2005). Evolutionary theory rewrote history and challenged their concepts of religion, morality, and social status. Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is a vehicle for the Victorian people’s exploration of Darwinian theory, its relevancy to their culture, and what the future may hold for the human species.

  • Nomadic Urbanities: Constant’S New Babylon and the Contemporary City
    Graduate Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies 4:2 (2004), 29-52 Nomadic Urbanities: Constant’s New Babylon and the Contemporary City Julie NICHOLS Centre for Middle East and Asian Architecture (CAMEA), University of Adelaide, Australia. CONTEMPORARY URBAN environments are characterised by shifting relationships with place. A theoretical understanding of ‘place’, in the contemporary context, provides opportunities to investigate the conceptual dialectic of nomadity and urbanity. The concept of ‘nomadity’ includes in its scope both physical and virtual movement; the practice of traversing real space to the capacity of roaming in virtual space. Nomadity, therefore, signifies a dynamic and temporal relationship with locality, characteristic of contemporary urban populations. Urbanity, by comparison, is defined as ‘the state, condition, or character of a town or city’. 1 Understood in a contemporary sense, as signifying stasis by being settled in a place, urbanity becomes the antithesis of nomadity. The notions of town or city are often associated with a type of settlement. The historic connotations of the term settlement relate to fortification and safety as well as to an urban establishment fixed permanently in a desired place. 2 In this paper, nomadic urbanities are introduced to reflect on the rapidly evolving nature of urbanism in today’s globalised world. Nomadity, urbanity and travel are modern issues, and may be translated by city dwellers through imaginings, representations or as physical urban environments. This is not necessarily a trend related to specific regions, but can be localised by certain examples. The focus of this paper is the Southeast Asian city and how it is then situated within the global context.

  • Selections from Criticism on Emily Dickinson
    D. Campbell Critical Perspectives on Selected Poems by Emily Dickinson Overall Approaches to Dickinson 1. William Shullenberger, "My Class had stood--a Loaded Gun" (post-structuralist, Deconstructionist approach) Shullenberger tends to set aside the cultural and historical background; he also sees feminist critics as sometimes risking "a disproportionate attention to her femininity (Pollak; Mossberg; C. Miller)" and relying too heavily on biographical assumptions. Instead, he says, his "stress in introducing Dickinson is to put the legends, the intellectual background, and the assumptions aside, to begin only with the assumption that Dickinson a poet who took poetry very seriously, more seriously than anything else." 2. Christanne Miller, Emily Dickinson: A Poet's Grammar (linguistic and syntactic analysis) Miller focuses on what she calls the essential features of Dickinson's writing: punctuation, compression, nonrecoverable deletions (that is, material omitted or elided that cannot become clear from the context), lack of inflectional markings for verbs, disjunction, repetition, and unspecified or ambiguous pronouns. These, she says, create language patterns that are by choice disjunctive and unconventional to render Dickinson's meaning in the complex ways in which she intended it. 3. Cynthia Griffin Wolff, Emily Dickinson (psychobiographical). Wolff combines close readings with feminist psychobiographical insights. 4. Joan Burbick, "Dickinson and Economics of Desire" AL 58 (1986): 361-378. Through what may be called her "economics of desire," Dickinson describes longing in terms of poverty and wealth, loss and gain, producing poems that both mimic and deprecate the mercantilist vision of her social class. In general, Dickinson's writings can be seen as expressing four logical, not chronological, visions of desire that imply a specific theory of use or economy.

  • Andrew Cooper (Liverpool Hope Universityi)
    Panoptikum nr 11 (18) 2012 Andrew Cooper (Liverpool Hope Universityi) Adapting to Survive: The Cultural Regeneration of Doctor Who Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction television show in history and next year celebrates its 50th anniversary. This essay will explore two key el- ements which can be attributed to the shows survival; its ability to reflect cul- tural demands and its ability to adapt works for television from other mediums. Originally designed to ensure the survival of the show after the lead actor left, regeneration has been a key part of Doctor Who. Not only has the Doctor himself regenerated, now ten times, but his enemies, T.A.R.D.I.S. and the whole design of the show have had to regenerate in order to survive. Each new actor playing the Doctor „inflect the »Doctorish« qualities in significant different ways, providing new possibilities”1 as well as refreshing the audience with different perspectives on one continuing story. The show has had to change to fit modern technology, both involving interactive technology, such as webisodes, as well as up to date special ef- fects. For Doctor Who to remain successful therefore it has to be able to regenerate to its ever changing audience. In 1963 the producers of Doctor Who needed a monster for its second serial, thus on the 21st December 1963 Terry Nation’s Daleks made their first appearance. The Daleks, created only 20 years after the Second World War were based on the Nazis. This is why in 1975’s Genesis of the Daleks the Dalek’s creator Davros draws parallels with Adolf Hitler.

Better than the television episodeBy MoserGrayDespite being a long time fan of Doctor Who, this is my first taste of what was formerly known as 'The New Adventures' and I couldn't have been more pleased.After 1989, Doctor Who had been cancelled. At the time, Virgin Publishing came along and sought to continue the adventures of the Seventh Doctor and Ace in literary form in a series called, 'The New Adventures'. These stories continued on for six years, introducing new characters and building upon established mythology. One of the better stories that I heard about had always been 'Human Nature', and I'm sure many of you are familiar with the story of the same name in David Tennant's second series as The Doctor.Now's your chance to read the story that inspired that episode.Some of the story is the same - The Doctor becomes human as a group of aliens hunt down where he hid his Time Lord essence.
