Good for You by Camille Paglia is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to reevaluate their views on several contentious issues in contemporary society. Paglia, a renowned feminist scholar, art critic, and writer, delves into various topics such as sex, gender, and cultural trends, offering her unique insights and perspectives. Throughout the book, Paglia argues for a more nuanced understanding of feminism, advocating for a celebration of individuality rather than a homogenization of gender roles. She criticizes the current state of feminism, asserting that it often overlooks the complexities of sexual desire and ignores the biological differences between men and women. Paglia also tackles the topic of sexuality, arguing that society should embrace and accept diverse sexual orientations and expressions. In doing so, she challenges societal norms and questions the idea of a fixed sexual identity.
As far as just magic? It's settled that Merlin would be first, I guess, but after that it would be hard to place them. I would think Maleficent, Yensid, and Xehanort are probably all similar levels (I would say Jafar would also fall in this category). Then Ursula, followed by Aqua. Donald below them, then Mickey? It's hard to say with any certainty, just how they come across, really. I'm actually wondering if Maleficent, Jafar, and Ursula would rank slightly higher just because they seem to rely almost exclusively on magic. And maybe I'm underestimating Donald because he's played for comedy. He does transmutate Sora, Goofy, and himself, which Ursula can do.
Like Axel for instance can cast the spell Fire which would be magic, but when he is channelling fire through his chakrams and such it is him using his attribute. Last year I was teaching my Problem-Solving Skills course and was surprised to hear in one organisation their service department wasn t using a set list of questions to step through when a customer calls with an issue.
In doing so, she challenges societal norms and questions the idea of a fixed sexual identity. She emphasizes the importance of personal experience and choice, encouraging individuals to explore their desires without fear or shame. Furthermore, Good for You explores the influence of pop culture and mass media on society.
Intuition or Learned Skill or Magic?
Have you ever watched a magician make objects disappear and reappear? We once saw a terrific magician in the street, and my children were mesmerized. They were concentrating hard on the hand he was placing in front of their happy little faces, and consequently had no idea how the magician was doing his magic.
We are all solving problems every day, but how well are we really doing it? So often we concentrate on the obvious ‘hand in front of our faces’, but miss the other things that are going on around us or around the problem. Skilled problem solvers learn to ask questions that not only focus on the problem but put that problem in context. A simple ‘Is/Is Not’ style of questioning can help narrow down the focus of our problems by eliminating what the problem is not.
Last year I was teaching my Problem-Solving Skills course and was surprised to hear in one organisation their service department wasn’t using a set list of questions to step through when a customer calls with an issue. It turns out that many of the technicians taking calls were probably asking similar questions to each other, but that came from the individual’s experience and technical expertise rather than the organisation’s collective knowledge of typical services issues.
In other organisations, administrative staff are able to triage customer service calls and direct them to the best technical person. Which sounds like more effective use of problem-solving techniques?
You don’t have to be in an official problem-solving role such as customer service to benefit from trying these techniques and developing your skills. Problem solving is a universal skill that can drive significant improvement when applied in any area of an organisation.
The biggest factor in deciding the winner of the duel was how the opponent's mind worked. This was Brom's advice to Eragon (from the memory that he planted in Saphira). He wanted Eragon to discover how their mind worked and then use that against them. Brom had defeated all of his enemies (except one due to his youth at the time) because of this method. It was interesting that Brom decided to give this advice to Eragon as his most important knowledge in the upcoming battle with Galbatorix.
Paglia critiques the homogenization of culture and commercialization of art, lamenting the loss of authenticity and creativity. She calls for a return to individuality and the cultivation of genuine artistic expression. The book is not without controversy, as Paglia's ideas often go against the mainstream narratives and challenge current social constructs. However, this is precisely what makes Good for You a compelling read. It encourages readers to engage critically with the issues at hand and consider alternative viewpoints. In conclusion, Good for You by Camille Paglia is a stimulating and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to reconsider their preconceived notions on feminism, sexuality, and culture. It offers a fresh perspective on these topics, encouraging readers to embrace individuality and think outside the box. While not everyone may agree with Paglia's arguments, her ideas undeniably provoke important discussions and contribute to the ongoing discourse on these issues..
