Our world has always been faced with the problem of discrimination. It is one of the most discussed topics nowadays and throughout history. In all countries there is most likely at least one type of discrimination that affects different groups of people. The definition of discrimination is the denial of opportunity or equal rights for a specific group of people that may be differentiated by things such as their religion, color of skin, or gender. Discrimination can be confused with other terms such as prejudice and stereotype. The world we live in has been struggling with this sensitive subject for as long as we have recorded. Stereotypes are images held in our minds in regards to certain racial or cultural groups, without consideration of whether the images held are true or false. Stemming from stereotypes is prejudice. The prejudicial attitude occurs when we prejudge a person, good or bad, on the basis that the stereotypes associated with the person or group being prejudged are true. Discrimination is the combination of the terms mentioned above, but involves actually acting out with unfair treatment, directing the action towards the person or group. Prejudice and discrimination do not just occur racially, but it is found among gender, religion, culture, and geographical background. Remember that prejudice is a result of attitude and discrimination is a result of action.
Many people believe discrimination has made big steps forward, but has it really? If it has, why do people still get turned down, receive hate mail, or get ridiculed simply because they differ from each other. I guess these are questions we must ask ourselves. I guess you could also ask yourself if you have ever called anybody a name, looked at them different or judged them when you did not even know them or understand them. You may be thinking “That is not discrimination,” but, in fact, it is.
Metaphysical conceit is a concept associated to Metaphysical poets of the XVII century. It´s an intellectual device that sets an analogy between an entity in the physical world and one in the spiritual one. Thus, there´s reference to something inexistent or somehow uncommon, but necessary for the main idea.
In this poem, this rhetorical device can be seen:
-In the first lines “Busy old fool unruly sun, Why dost thou thus, Through windows, and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?” . Here, the writer directly addresses the Sun, asking him questions and pretending to have a conversation. This is typical of metaphysical poetry, as it is one-way conversation, the Sun can not answer.
-In the line “ Thy beams so reverend and strong”, he is venerating the Sun´s rays making reference to religious aspects, typical of metaphysical poetry.
-In the line “ Must to thy motions lover´s season run?” we see the allusion to philosophical issues, such as Death, Love,etc. The sun marks time and season as we live on Earth.
