Criticism Dialectic

In order to show this point, let us consider Newton s second law, where the force is directly and linearly proportional with acceleration provided that the mass is constant. The following points are among the possible critical questions that may shed some doubts about the general validity of this law. 

Why the mass is constant In fact, mass changes always in our daily life. A car or an airplane changes its mass as it moves by fuel consumption. This means that Newton s second law can be used only instantaneously. One can visualize that mass decreases in an exponential form as in Fig. 2.9. 

It is necessary to measure the mass at each time instant and then enter this value in the basic law for force calculation provided that the acceleration is known simultaneously. One can represent the shape in Fig. 2.9 by a decreasing exponential function, which has, in general, the following form. 

In this manner, the constancy of mass has been avoided according to its exponential decrease by time. However, velocity and hence acceleration also vary as time passes, and therefore, their variations may also be represented by some functions. Let ns consider that the velocity increases as in Fig. 2.10 which reaches a constant value after some time. 

By definition acceleration is the change of velocity by time therefore, visually one can derive from this figure the change of acceleration by time as another exponentially decreasing function given in Fig. 2.11.

Five case studies follow, examining particular identities and their evolution into different forms of nationalism. The first, paradoxically, is Chinese identity in Southeast Asia, in chapter 3. This is prioritised in part because overseas Chinese nationalism slightly preceded the anti-imperial nationalism of Indonesia and Malaysia (though not the Philippines), so that the different forms of nationalism emerging from the Malay category of chapter 4 emerged in critical dialectic with... 

The different dialects of XML (XHTML, KML) are constrained by XML schemas (W3C, 2004). These schemas are critical to the success of XML. They are used to ensure that an XML file adheres to a well-defined structure. Schemas are themselves XML files, which must conform to the XSD specification. Schema designers are free to develop constraints to varying degrees. Forcing an XML file to be compatible with a tightly-constrained schema frees developers from having to write their own data validation procedures. This leads to a great simplification of data manipulation software. 

As Marc Shell notes, however, hypothesis is inherently bound up with money. To make a hypothesis is to ask for credit that may be called in later, when a conclusion is reached and meaning exhausted. When Plato criticized the sophists, he simultaneously expressed anxiety about coinage—that is, as a division between symbolic and material value Was not even Socratic dialectic. . . pervaded by the monetary form of exchange Was not dialectical division a kind of money changing, and dialectical hypothesizing a kind of hypothecation, or mortgaging (Shell 2). 

To avoid the drawbacks of the method the process of pattern recognition should be considered more important than the pattern produced. Critical evaluation of a pattern be taken up carefully. Every pattern design has to be faced not only with facts and their relationships, but in a dialectic approach, in which the recognition of their changing nature is also essential. 

The movement New Historicism in American literary studies emerged in the 1980s as a dialectical rejoinder to Continental structuralism and poststructural-ism. Scholars like Stephen Greenblatt, Louis Montrose and Frank Lentrichia appealed to postmodernist and poststructuralist notions of the multiplicity and variability of historical texts and actions to reject the earlier historicist view, associated with Marxist literary criticism, that a literary text mirrors a unified and coherent world-view held by a whole population or by a specific social class. They insisted instead that literary texts could be understood only in relation to... 

Karl Marx applied the dialectic to more conventionally historical subjects than the representation of mascnhnity. However, Marx was no film critic his lifespan precluded that possibihty. Even so, he perhaps foreshadows Abbott and Costello s classic shtick, Who s on First in his bouncy, probably inadvertently comical exposition of the dialectical process. Marx starts with Hegel s Critique of Pure Reason ... 

The common criticism that bond graphs are not well defined has been countered by showing that their key properties can be defined up to a certain level, but that, like any other language, dialects remain possible and it is up to the user to define the...
