A great example of this is the famous quote by Emerson, “Who so be a man must be a nonconformist…” because “to be great is to be misunderstood” (115). On the other hand, the reclamation of privileges is a form of isolation in which one realizes that it is not themselves that are deformed, but rather the society. Bebop is the ultimate example of this, because it differed drastically from the straightforward compositions of the swing era and was instead characterized by fast tempos, asymmetrical phrasing, and intricate melodies. The music
However, a weakness of Elkins findings is that just because PIT is as effective of CBT, does it make it an effective treatment? This is a weakness because CBT may not be effective in the first place, making them both equally as ineffective. Therefore we must be cautious in trusting this therapy of depression as it may be used based on those findings even though it potentially could be very ineffective. This could lead to very serious consequences which could be dangerous for the
However, this is causes them to be reductionist. One of the problems is that everyone is unique. Individual differences cause a big problem because everyone will not adhere to medical advice for the same reasons. They may have certain beliefs or they may believe that taking the medicine may cause side effects. These side effects may affect one person but not another.
Temperance, is one of the main virtues. It expresses that things can be good in moderation, but too much pleasure, for example, can turn the opposite way and can actually lead to dissatisfaction and gluttony. Plato believed that temperance is a virtue we utilize when we use reason to control our desires. It helps us get a balance. This illustrates that a person who practices their temperate virtue will always be more satisfied compared to a person that never feels like they have got enough of what they want.
Some rhetorical devices Jefferson uses are so subtle that the average reader does not recognize them as obvious forms of rhetoric. The audience is only left with the powerful message that he intended to convey. Alliteration, one of the simplest devices he uses is fairly subtle yet effective in creating mood or tone through out the Declaration. In breaking down the phrase “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” the words “Life” and “Liberty” sort of roll off the tongue together. This could be applied to make a point that life and liberty are one in the same; that with life comes a given freedom, and the right to pursue ones own happiness is branched under that freedom.
He “ranged freely over music, literature, art, and other subjects,” but could not agree with what was taking place at Coney Island. Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values. Not only were they concerned about human character; they were also concerned about the economy as a whole. Coney Island was changing America “from a ‘pain economy,’ where scarcity of resources demanded a struggle for subsistence, to a ‘pleasure economy,’ in which abundance was potentially available to all” (Kasson 90). People would avoid sin to be sure not to be punished by unemployment and bad economic standings, but without this fear, it was unknown what citizens of the United States would start acting like.
The observation from “So what do you have to do to find happiness” by Dorothy Wade asserts that negative thinking is deeply ingrained in the human psyche while they are happy. Happiness will come and go, a mere by-product of fleeting circumstances. No one can be happy forever, nor can achieve the best level of joy. Wishes will not be the same as expectations. Happiness is short and fleeting human condition.
Mo-tzu presented a very well thought of argument against music . This can be seen when he stated Although the body knows they are comfortable , the mouth knows they are gratifying , the eyes know they are delightful , and the ears know they are pleasing , yet they are found not to be in accordance with the deeds of the sage-kings of antiquity and not to contribute to the benefits of the people at present (Par .1 , Book VIII , Chapter XXXII In saying this , he implied that music did not have anything to do with the greatness and success of the sage-kings . that it did not fulfill the basic needs , unlike the boats and the carts that were built from the same contribution of the ancient citizens . It slowed production by wasting labor on things
Those who are born without a conscience and are labeled as sociopaths are much more dangerous than those who are just easily influenced. Most innate evil lays dormant, waiting for the exact moment to display itself. It is very unpredictable and very often is not detected until the awful act occurs. For those born with this affliction, it is not a question of whether evil will reveal itself but a question of when. Human example and influence are also very powerful and can corrupt the mind eager for recognition or that craves to feel wanted and accepted.
I think this might be why some people communicate passively because they have had a negative experience with this, and maybe it made things negative for them or changed things into a horrible situation. This can easily happen. There is no way to be
