in the lady or the tiger in what is the kings justice similar to flipping a coin to decide an important question?

Answers

Answer:

Hi, the answer is:

Explanation:

In his narrative Frank R. Stockton challenges his reader to guess the outcome, but he also challenges his reader through the use of irony. Indeed, the presentation of the king in the exposition alerts the reader to this irony.  This king is "semi-barbaric" and has an "exuberant fancy"; his authority is "so irresistible" that he turns his desires into facts. Often, he self-communes, and  

when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done...and...nothing please him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.

And, yet, the author writes that, paradoxically, the king's subjects possess minds that are "refined and cultured." So, it is doubtful that the author truly feels that the king acts fairly. Rather, it seems that the king designs things according to his desires, feeling that what he does is always proper.

In describing what is done to a subject who is accused of a crime, the author presents many details about the doors and the tiger behind the doors that are placed arbitrarily so that no one knows.  

The manner that the subjects must react is also described. Everything is arranged, no one can interfere with "his great scheme of punishment and reward."  

This was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. Its perfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady.

This remark about "fairness" is simply that the person charged with a crime could not know which door was the one to choose. No one has any advantage, but this does not mean that the person charged with a crime is treated fairly and justly. It does not mean that the king per se is fair. For, there is no trial; the accused merely is placed in an area where he may be lucky enough to live.

Although is a dependent clause. When a dependent clause opens a sentence, there needs to be a comma and a full sentence in addition to the first phrase. One example could be “Although the rain continued through the night, I slept through it.” “I slept through it” would be the full sentence, as it could stand alone without the original phrase.

Describe how Judith Butler differs from the phenomenological feminism explicated by Simone de Beauvoir. Include in your answer why Butler maintains it is dangerous for feminists to rely on or promote the idea of “women” as a universal category and compare and contrast it to Barbara Fields’ notion of race as an ideology.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Judith Butlers argues that gender is created by the act of your performance. The performance is already constituted, and it is being performed through the individual acts of the body. She further elaborates on the idea that we are obliged to consider the binary gender system. She proposes that gender identity is constructed through acts. There should be a space to construct different gender based on individual acts. We are confined in our bodies, and people have to Act to move in society.

Butlers argue that performing a gender itself creates a gender. Butlers critique the terms Sex and Gender, which are being used by feminists. She argues that it is dangerous to make a group of Women describing its particular characteristics. So she is of the view that feminists should not use the term Women. The main agenda of her to create a society that should be “flexible, free-floating and not caused by other stable factors.”

In her essay, Second Sex, Beauvoir defines that women are considered as second sex because they are defined as a relation to men. She argues about the St. Thomas, who referred women as an imperfect man. She suggests that women are being considered others in a society, which is an excuse for men not to understand women and their problems.

She talks about the hierarchy in the society like race, class, and religion in the same way gender is being categorized to give rise to the patriarchal system.
