Isolation, as defined by Macmillan Dictionary, is “the state of being separated from other people, or a situation in which you do not have the support of other people” (www.macmillandictionary.com). In Plato’s allegory, the prisoners are isolated in the cave and refuse to leave and face reality. They are convinced that the shadows and their world within the cave is what’s real and are afraid of what else is out there in the world. One can certainly relate to this feeling of isolation and Plato was trying to show us how a human being can feel alone and prefer to stay in the unknown rather than going out and facing what is really happening. In Faulkner’s story, Emily is completely isolated within her home.
Diet of television is the answer. I think parents should not replace a baby sitter for the TV, or even replace them selves for the TV. I know a lot of parents who prefer to sleep 30 minutes alone, and all they do is send their children to watch TV or play violent video games, they totally forget about the damage it is causing to them, and when they grow up parents complaint why their children are so violent with them and everybody else. I think the idea of built-in time-channel lock circuitry is awesome. Imagine a kid solving a puzzle -which will help to develop his brain- instead of watching TV; also this kind of activities will keep him safe from violence.
Wal-Mart: Always Low Wages Always Wal-Mart’s poverty-level wages often make their employees eligible for government assistance programs such as health care, food stamps, subsidized school lunches and subsidized housing (Wright). “Instead of providing affordable health insurance, Wal-Mart encourages its employees to sign up for publicly funded programs, dodging its health care costs and passing them onto taxpayers”(Wright 7). According to the film “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price,” Wal-Mart costs taxpayers $1,557,000,000 to supports its employees. That is just one effect of Wal-Mart’s low prices. This retail giant can afford to provide better wages and benefits to its employees.
People who lost their jobs could not feed themselves, pay their rent, and support their family. This forced families together in crowded houses or apartments. People couldn't afford to separate or get divorced because they needed the income of everyone to pay the rent. Men who lost their jobs often felt ashamed of themselves. The man from the “Cinderella Man,” had been ashamed as well as felt unimportant, but he loved his family so much that his pride did not overcome his feelings for his
People are struggling to survive everyday because they have no food and shelter. These people may always dig through the trash to find something to eat for the day, not knowing if they will find anything. Families may always live in horrible conditions, having no other choice, because they do not have enough money. It’s extremely hard for them to find well paying jobs in these countries. For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out.
Your perception of an environment can influence your experience of either belonging or not belonging. By Ben experiencing fear and being so bound up by the outside world, he develops this barrier to belonging. He is so convinced that the ‘woolvs’ are out to get him. So he isolates himself away from everything in the world. Spudvilas and Wild have chosen to isolate Ben to portray the idea he is detached and afraid of the world, and through this he doesn’t belong.
Being that we’ve discussed this in classroom I do not want to take up too much time on it but rather put it in short what I believe Socrates thinks of this. I think that he was trying to tell us that we, as a society live in a cave and everything we see is a lie imposed on us by someone else or even because we choose so. He asks us to challenge things around us to go outside and see the real world, or reality. He was a rebel himself, and challenged everything for you can not know the world unless you ask questions, explore ask
Those who grew up and made that their focus were looked upon as “outcast” or “squares”. I started to drift towards the group that was doing the same thing as the next man since that was all I saw and knew at the time I was afraid to remove the chains that were place on me to only know one way of life, so in reference to Socrates “Here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning their heads” that is similar reflection of how I was growing up I never looked at the big picture and by having tunnel vision that was the reason why. The moment I removed the chains and stepped out on my own was when I joined the US Navy it opened my eyes to a whole different aspect as to what the real world was all about. I only knew maybe a 10 mile radius growing up in my neighborhood reason being was that was all I knew and I was afraid to go outside that radius because we were told not to. Once I made that decision
This kind of food leads to a lack of concentration and obesity, which further leads to health issues such as heart problems. Health problems can influence a child’s outcome in life as there would be limits to opportunities. Education - higher chance of children from deprived areas getting lower grades due to lack of space or facilities such as computers, internet books etc. leading to them not attending further education - affecting future job prospects - lower paid jobs, poor working conditions, unsecure jobs. Lack of motivation and guidance - the overall journey to better them self seems too long and almost impossible, therefore it is not worth trying.
Their stress comes from working long hours and not being able to help their wives with all the work at home and taking care of their children. On the other hand there are the fortunate few that do not have to worry about having two incomes and the few men that can help their wives with being
