Equally, George Robertson, whom John SStuart Mill is experessing his opinions to in source 10, is likely to have outside motives. Source 12 may therefore by the most reliable, since it is written in hindsight, although the interpretation of source 10 gives an almot balanced viewpoint, in the end saying she was slightly more ‘unfit to be a leader’ than a good role model for leadership. However, ovrall the sources suggest that she is more a good leader than not, but she needs to develop her tactics, despite her positive personality. Source 10 evently opens with approval of Millicent Garrett Fawcett’s outgoing personality, as ‘quite publicly spirited’, although this is partially contradictory, and almost mocks this. The word ‘quite’ almost certainly implies that it is a characteristic that she should look to develop, a point wich Alexander Webster picks up in source 11, referencing Fawcett as doign speeches that are ‘inauidble and devoid’.
What distinguishes us human beings from animals, that merely have instincts for survival and self-preservation, is our intellect. Humans have a capacity to evaluate and choose amongst available options one that is most agreeable to nature, what St. Ignatius of Loyola terms discernment. The capacity to choose, free-will, entails a responsibility for each of our actions and choices. We are thus driven by the desire to avoid pain and our imperfect existence through acquiring that which relieves us the most from suffering. Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth are filled with ambition for the highest status in their society and that desire overrides the will to do the right.
Othello: A Tragic Hero Othello is the epitome of a tragic hero. He starts out as a rather respectable and rational General, but was eventually consumed by jealousy and anger. A tragic hero must start out high in power and have tragic flaws that lead him to ultimately a tragedy. Othello’s tragic flaw is that he is easily manipulated, leading him to trust the wrong people. The play begins by showing the readers that Othello is a noble General.
Perhaps someone does not agree with the policies the company is putting in place. Maybe they see a mistake with following that procedure. Will they speak up? More than likely not if they are afraid to challenge someone who perhaps is threatening them that if they don't agree or comply, then they can kiss their job good-bye. Sechser says, "strong powers would make more potent threats since they can threaten especially severe punishment for non-compliance" (p. 627, para 1).
Acceptance vs Discrimination Today's world is full filled of hate, despite, and discrimination. Why have we changed on the perspective we used to have where the world lived in peace? Most people base others by their appearance or intellectual on the daily living. People may get jealous or frustrated of what others have that they cannot posses for any reason. Although reality have taught us that to be someone important and to be sophisticated you have to fight for ti and earn it; having in mind that you are going to achieve what you proposed to do.
In some cases, this delusion may be the only thing that keeps one continuing on through life. It’s human nature to avoid conflicts and issues that we cannot handle, therefore one would surely go mad if faced with all the turmoil burdening life. At times when one feels unloved, vanity can be a wonderful thing. Seeing oneself as great, when no one else does, can be all one has. Vanity is the building up of oneself, boosting the ego and confidence, in order to make one feel more important.
Duncan appraises Macbeth by holding Lady Macbeth by the hand and saying “We love him highly and shall continue our graces toward him” (I,iv,364, 29-30) believing that Macbeth is a loyal man that has such a great heart; considering that he risked his life to save Scotland: something that the Thane of Cawdor was supposed to do. Macbeth, a dark evil soul, uses the promotion and honor of Duncan as a stepping stone to begin his destroying of Scotland. Instead of being happy with the honor that king Duncan gave him the honor of Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth gets greedy and wants more than what is granted to him, “If chance will have
These people have the right to accept this and other people believe that they can change their perspective of life. There could be a reason someone believes that there life should be different and some just no longer want their life to go on like in Hamlets Soliloquy. Hamlet did not know whether his life was worth living because it was so difficult and he was either going to fight for what he loved or he could have just gave up and let his uncle win. These are always thoughts that go through even the happiest people’s thoughts. Even though someone might be happy or look happy doesn’t mean that they have never thought that life might not be worth living.
Ultimately, one must realize his/her uniqueness, build self-confidence, and not be afraid to go against the grain. To do this one must be willing to do something different
Not all advertisements are intended to be deceiving, as made evident by Gloria Steinem in her essay, Sex, Lies and Advertising, but most do use some deceptive tactics. Companies use strategic marketing techniques to appeal to the consumers fantasies and glorify the product they are trying to sell. Some people get so consumed in the fascination of having the latest merchandise that they are easily manipulated, loss control and can find them selves constantly unsatisfied. It can be dangerous for Americans to value culturally approved images and status symbols because over saturation negatively effect one’s ability to rationally decide. Human nature, in combination with the “American Dream,” convinces us to constantly chase individuality and to keep striving to be the best.
