HENRY JAMES’ VIEW ABOUT AMERICAN CULTURE AS REPRESENTED BY DAISY MILLER IN DAISY MILLER (GENETIC STRUCTURALISM APPROACH)
No full textABSTRACT
Daisy Miller is one of James’ novels that talks about cultural gap. There
are many cultural conflicts between American and European. The researcher had
formulated three problem statements as follows: (1) How are the cultural
differences in Daisy Miller? (2) How does the society in Daisy Miller view
Daisy Miller? (3) How does Henry James view American culture as
represented by Daisy Miller in Daisy Miller?
In order to answer the questions, the researcher used genetic structuralism
approach by Lucien Goldman to analyze Daisy Miller, because genetic
structuralism is used to find the world view of the author toward his novel. There
are three aspects to be correlated in genetic structuralism, i.e. the novel itself,
biography of the author, the social condition when the novel was created. The
researcher also had to find the previous novel and novel after Daisy Miller which
have the same theme and correlated them with Daisy Miller. By the combination
of the aspects above, the researcher could find Henry James’ view about
American culture as represented by Daisy Miller in Daisy Miller.
There were three findings in this research: First, the researcher found that
there are cultural differences between America and Europe. In Daisy Miller Henry
James presents the Americans who had settled in Europe lived in a luxurious life.
It can be seen from their life style. They stayed from one hotel to another and they
liked to hold parties. The Millers family brought a private tutor to teach Randolph,
Daisy’s brother. It was very expensive to bring a private tutor from America to
Europe; but James presents the society to show that it was a rich and high-class
society. Daisy Miller was a visitor in Europe. She brought the pure American
culture. The conflict appeared when she was considered to break the rules in
Europe such as walking in the night with a man.
Second, the researcher identified the view of society to Daisy Miller. The
characters in Daisy Miller were: (1) Frederick Winterbourne. He was a young
American who had lived and schooled in Geneva. He sometimes judged Daisy as
a good girl, but in other time he considered her as a bad girl. (2) Mrs. Costello.
She is American but with European air. She looked down the Millers family
because of their new money, unsophisticated conduct, and intimacy with their
courier. (3) Mrs. Walker. She exemplified the values of the formal American but
with European air similar to Mrs. Costello. (4) He was an Italian man. He
considered Daisy just as natural and innocent girl. (5) Mrs. Miller. She was
Daisy’s mother. She was the opposite of a higher class European mother, because
she allowed her daughter to do as she liked.
Third, the researcher found that Henry James presents Daisy Miller as the
representation of American culture. Daisy’s characteristics are: (1) Freedom. (2)
Naturalness. (3) Innocence. (4) Purity. Henry James takes the American culture a
little higher than European culture. He also considers that two different cultures
can live together in one community comfortably as long as the member of society
respects each other

Trujillo, 2007. Asesor: Dr. Juan Jorge Huamán Saavedra. Páginas Totales: 40 Institución: Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional de Trujillo. El aumento de LDL colesterol y de triglicéridos y la disminución de HDL colesterol son factores de riesgo coronario. Es de interés saber si existe alguna variación en los niveles de colesterol total, colesterol-HDL, colesterol-LDL y triglicéridos en pacientes hiperlipidémicos tratados con dieta suplementada con yacón comparado con dieta sola y Gemfibrozilo. Se trabajó con 42 pacientes hipercolesterolémicos divididos en tres grupos de 14 individuos cada uno distribuidos al azar: El yacón disminuyó los triglicéridos en un 15 % del valor pretest en un porcentaje semejante al gemfibrozilo (16.6 %) sin embargo en valores absolutos el efecto del yacón es significativamente menor que el gemfibrozilo, Los efectos del yacón sobre los demás componentes del perfil lipídico son significativos al compararlos con la dieta sola y son semejantes a los del gemfibrozilo. En conclusión, el yacón es útil para ayudar a los pacientes hiperlipidémicos en el tratamiento inicial principalmente para cifras moderadamente altas.Author: Mary Esther Daisy Reyes Beltran Title PhD Thesis: Effect of Smallanthus sonchifolius “ yacon” in the treatment of hyperlipidaemias compared with diet alone and gemfibrozil. Trujillo, 2007. Advisor: Dr. Juan Jorge Huamán Saavedra. Total Pages: 40 Institution: Faculty of Medicine, Trujillo National University. LDL’s increase cholesterol and of triglicéridos and HDL’s cholesterol decrease are factors of coronary risk. The interest is to know if it exists some variation in the levels of total cholesterol, cholesterol-HDL, cholesterol-LDL and triglicéridos in hiperlipidemic patients treaties with diet suplemented with yacón compared with alone diet and Gemfibrozilo. We worked with 42 hipercolesterolemic patients divided in three groups of 14 individuals each one distributed at random: The yacón diminished the triglicéridos in 15 % of the value pretest in a similar percentage to the gemfibrozilo (16.6 %) however in absolute values the effect of the yacón is significantly minor than the gemfibrozilo. The effects of the yacón on other components of the lipidic profile are significant comparing them with the alone diet and are similar to those of the gemfibrozilo. In conclusion, the yacón is useful to help the patients hiperlipidémicos in the initial treatment principally for values moderately high

Queen Elizabeth II should be the final Head of the Commonwealth
No full textLurking not far beneath the surface of the current celebrations of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is a nagging
anxiety: what happens next? Nowhere is this more acute than in Commonwealth circles. The future of the headship
of the Commonwealth, a role the Queen has played with such dedication, is in doubt. Should it pass to her heir,
Prince Charles? Dig a little deeper and you soon encounter off-the-record expressions of doubt about Charles’s
suitability. Amid the rather awkward and embarrassed murmurings that pass for debate on this issue, the cases for
and against Charles inheriting the headship have barely been explored or discussed. Set out systematically, both
sets of arguments are powerful and both deserve to be taken seriously. Ultimately, however, we conclude that the
interests of the Commonwealth would be best served if the post of Head of the Commonwealth ceased to exist at
the end of Her Majesty’s reign
