He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.
Let’s start by looking at laissez-faire. This style is very unique and different to all other styles. The reason being, the leaders are very ‘hands-off’ and allow the group members to make their own decisions to achieve the goal. Unlike people-oriented or transformational methods, laisse-faire leaders have pretty much nothing to do with the rest of the team. A laisse-faire leader will allow his team to make their own decisions and determine their own approach to completing the task at hand.
This act showed society’s need for ignorance and a “don’t ask questions, that’s just the way it is” type of system. Another interesting similarity between this world and our own is “the complete self absorption that many of these citizens
Selected Citations from Poor Richard's Almanack “None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.” and “How few there are who have courage enough to own their Faults, or resolution enough to mend them!” These quotations basically mean that most people don't like to look inside themselves and see their flaws. A well-bred and courageous person sees who they are and acknowledges it without getting discouraged or insecure. The second part means that most people go on with their lives dealing with their flaws and trying to fix them to make themselves a better person. We all know that as humans it is in our nature that we make mistakes and faults but few of us have the guts to acknowledge their faults. These quotes is relevant to me that in every fault or failure I make I don’t have to be defensive about it but accept these mistakes and to use them as stepping stone to improve myself and change for the better.
Bernard Marx is a major character in Brave New World and probably the most interesting. In the beginning, when the author introduces the story plot, a character show up and define the law of order. The World State had just become a utopia; free of emotion and desire. Huxley describes Bernard as a jealous man toward Henry Foster because he is successfully acquiring Lenina Crowne. Many other interesting things portrayed Barnard of being “different” as story continue.
He states that life is “come easy go easy”, meaning that life is not guaranteed and can be taken at any time. He also says that they live like humans used to and that they are now to uptight and worry about what everyone thinks, more of a social norm. The idea of living so short is insensible to Archy. He doesn’t understand the moth’s reasoning until after the moth “immolated himself.” All of Archy’s lines are very logical and thought out which very much explains his conservative personality especially this stanza: i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity The idea of living so short is insensible to Archy. He doesn’t understand the moth’s reasoning until after the moth “immolates himself.” He then sees a small understanding of the moth’s life.
It is a fact that history confirms that no great achievements in individual lives and with societies occur without some struggle. For, only a dull complacency exists in people who have no conflict. LeGuin's short story, "The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas" explores this very idea; in this story of a utopia of sorts, all the people but one are happy; they have been happy for so long that "smiles have become archaic." However, there is a dullness to their lives and an evasion of the reality of the existence of one who must suffer for the rest. Understanding the nature of conflict, and how to deal with it properly, could serve to improve those relationships that are affected by
Everyone would be able to get the education that they need in order to get the job that they want instead of having to sit at a job that they don’t want because of the fact that they don’t have the education for it. A Constitution republic and the socialism are alike in very few ways but I’m going to take the time and explain these ways. First they both are a government were nobody can actually rule over an individual. I like the fact that we have a voice to speak and no government can rule over the people because we have that opportunity to speak for ourselves. Also another thing about these two governments that make them alike is they both give everyone the opportunity to get a good job and education so that not one person is left behind.
Public interest groups are probably the most selfless groups since they do not really focus on achieving goals that affect their members alone. Examples could be civil rights and liberties groups. Economic interest groups are basically involved in promoting the economic interests of members within their groups. Unlike public groups, economic groups tend to focus only on their members; whether it is to make profits for themselves or to obtain economic benefits. As stated in the first paragraph, public action committees are legally authorized groups with the main purpose of raising funds for contributing in a few ways such as campaigning or to political parties.
It is what defines us as humans. It’s what keeps the world sane and it’s the mere lack of it that causes chaos. Humanity can be seen when you see two strangers helping each other out, when a person cares enough to try to make you happy. The fact that the girl who was a complete stranger to the boy, did a better job of making him feel good rather than his own dad shows how kindness can come from anyone at all and that’s what makes the world a better place to live
