- about relationships as their non-disabled peers. The desire to be accepted and successful is important to most of us. To love and to be loved and to have friendship is the most natural thing in the world. Even today, people are often ignorant about issues of relationships, sexuality and disability. People with physical disabilities may not have had the same opportunities of learning about themselves or others because of restricted social contact (mobility and access problems are probably the main reasons).

This relates to the truth that people in today’s society are to quick in committing to others without second thought. If everyone had time to self reflect love would be perfect however, nevertheless this is not reality. Society’s judgment is clouded when it comes to real love, the moral in this essay is that we should take the time to get to know ourselves and look for a partner with the same interests, values and good personality rather than what is suggested by media (rich, handsome etc.). Everyone wants to be loved but true love is something special and should not be taken for
In comparison to Clytaemnestra and Agamemnon, Plato feels that a balance between the three elements “unlike courage and wisdom, each of which resides in one part, making the city brave and wise respectively, moderation spreads throughout the whole (Plato 431-432e)” is a necessity for intelligence. Therefore lust and desire must be contained and the just man needs to continuously seek justice through the exercise of moderation. Aeschylus shows us how Clytaemnestra seeks justice based upon her own actions and motives, lust, money, and power. Plato will argue that the imbalance of her soul (rationalization, appetite, and spirit) causes her to rule the city unjustly and selfishly. The good life cannot be reached within the city if the people do not have their souls
In The Myth of Universal Love, Stephen T. Asma discusses the thought that many people consider their close knit group, made up of people such as family, friends, and allies, to be prominent expressors of loyalty, generosity, and gratitude. By expressing those traits, those people are more likely, Asma argues, to obtain love from an individual. However, Asma fails to continue his argument as to how loyalty, generosity, and gratitude make loving those close to us so simple, and completely disregarding the argument against the utilitarian principle, making his argument weak. In his argument, Asma states that in order to reciprocate genuine love for one another “you need to have my back, even when I’m sometimes wrong”. When looking at the United States government as part of a close knit group of United States citizens, the loyalty of the citizens to the government is prominent.
He is willing to trust people and accept the world. He is also willing to look for truth and do whatever it takes for his loved ones. Due to the fact that Hamlet lacks many of these qualities, he wishes he could be more like his friend. Horatio cares very much for Hamlet but does not want to change his decisions or persuade him in any way. Even though Hamlet and Horatio do have some differences they do not interfere with their strong friendship.
Alexandra Loza Eng 101-042 Corissa Eisenman The Myth of Universal Love Universal Love is impossible because the love between families is a natural human instinct, rather than a decision, and also because we are raised by family that teaches cultural traditions and customs that will carry on throughout our lives. Asma’s opinion of universal love was that it was a good idea because “Helping a stranger in need makes you feel better about yourself” but in reality it would not do anything because there’s no guarantee that a stranger would do the same thing back for another stranger. “The Myth of Universal Love” by Stephen Asma deals with this argument stating the advantages and disadvantages of choosing either
Personally I disagree with what you have pointed out, you say that making friends is one of the few ways to avoid bullying, however how would you make these friends? Well that would have to be by being different, to me making friends is a good way to have fun not avoid bullies, I am in a social group in which everyone shares a different opinion also we all share different cultural and religious backgrounds which enables us to bond. At a point, where you state that you are being ‘teased and taunted’ and you ‘escaped it by making friends’, I agree that making friends is a great way to encounter these threats, but just being friends with some one just to stop the bullies is sad and
Self-respect to me means respecting myself above all else. I t means honoring my values and principles before anyone and anything else. It means trusting myself to say and do only what feels true and honoring. Listening to and respecting that precious little voice inside when it feels a little fearful or unsettled.
