Can literature make us better persons and can that state of being a better person be concrete and practical?
Question
  • Mar 2016
Terry Eagleton had tried to critique the liberal humanist argument that literature makes us better persons as well as the socialist argument that we must make that which we gain from literature concrete and practical. And also Lord Byron had postulated at a time that England was sick, therefore English Literature must save it. This implies that there is something that literature does to us. My take is that literature can also make one a bad person; that if indeed we want to believe that it makes us better persons, then it must be because humanists believe that life on earth is very valuable and must be cared for. Any way you look at it, if Somebody becomes a serial killer by reading a novel that deals with the life a serial killer, that person has definitely been made a bad person by literature!

How to get an idea of what to do or propose in research?
Question
  • Jun 2022
Hi,
I'm very new to research.
I know that in order for us to get an idea for research, we need to do a literature review to see what people have done so that we can do something that has not been done.
The problem is that I still don't understand many topics in my research area. My supervisor has already asked me to produce experimental results.
I still couldn't distinguish between what other researchers have done and what has not been done.
How to know "something has not been done" in our research area?
Then how to get the idea to propose something better?
How do we really sure it is "better"?
Right now, I don't know where to go.
