To express this in other words, if you are working on a hard problem, you are going to make mistakes. It’s easy to expect perfection from ourselves and/or the fear the judgment that comes with “messing up”. Even at its worse, we learn from those errors to really dive into the problem for a successful result. That is not a new concept, but it is one that is often forgotten. Mistakes are actually indicators that you are actually trying to succeed, so without them you are not doing much at all.
As a result, the key for the survival of individuality lies in how conformist the people are ready and willing to become. Freedom of imagination and speech is a double edged sword: if an individual freely chooses to believe everything he is told, be it out of conformism, lack of education or both, eventually he no longer possesses individual freedom. If this becomes common norm, it is easy for social organization to become exploited, corrupted and eventually regimented. Thus, an individual must be taught to question everything he sees or reads and never take anything for granted. Despite what captain Beatty says, it is certainly better to be free and melancholic than oppressed and
Humans have more opportunities and chances on the way they want there life to be and animals really don’t have the choice even though they could also live where they want to live. Like I had said before, it would be nice to live like a weasel, but think about it, living like a weasel really means not caring for what others do, say. Like Henry David Thoreau stated, “Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not virtually decide right from wrong, but conscience”? We have the right to live how we want and where we want and by doing what we want, we are willing to face the consequences. Humans also have to worry about the ecnmical burden that comes with every thing.
This shows that the society discourages change, which also means no future growth. Unlike in present society where change and growth are considered natural and 'human', Brave New World gets rid of the chance to grow and change as well as the desire, which is an example of humanity being replaced with stability. The hypnopaedia method, which are “words without reason” (p. 28), also acts in dehumanizing societys' people. These words without reason are simply a method to instill the same thoughts throughout any numerous anount of people. Instead of having your own thoughts and own free will do what what you want, you're forced to believe what society wants to believe.
The learning curve will present challenges in that, employees will maintain the need to refer to the old system to proceed with business as usual. Possible struggles presented by the learning-curve are expected from several employees. Some will adjust more than others, but the main challenge is in the adaptation or orientation phase. Technologically, since the system is equipped with back up software, it should eventually eliminate the need for hard copy records and files. This will save time in the long run, which should encourage most employees despite their initial frustration with the management system change.
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.
Prologue.35). Creon was very stubborn when he decided to execute Antigone with a spur of the moment decision, he wouldn’t change his mind no matter who talked to him, it was his way or the highway. They are also the same in the fact that they want to make themselves happy and only them, they don’t care about anyone else as long as it’s what works for them. By doing this it effects every decision they make, often in the wrong direction. Often times ignoring what the consequences to those around them may
The knowledge to know that someone can be equal, but not treated equally can be discouraging to most. Instead George uses this steam to motivate his dream of being free. One can only take so much before change is necessary. The is shown when George says, “I have been careful, and I have been patient, but it's growing worse and worse; flesh and blood can't bear it any longer;—every chance he can get to insult and torment me, he takes. The decision became clearer that this situation will only get
The problem now, is that people feel too much of themselves. Everyone wants to be independent and an individual but they have to see that one day they’re going to need assistance from someone else. We would rather criticize and attack instead of rationally discussing our differences of opinion. We see this every day in our culture. Our community as a whole loves to be argumentative.
But as I viewed this story I got an understanding that prejudice can be based on an individual’s ability or disability. Everybody wasn’t bored to be normal but that doesn’t make then any different from anybody that is normal, because they are just as capable and success as the next person is. You must put yourself in other peoples’ shoes and treat them how you want to be treated because they have feelings just like you and everyone else. We are all humans it just that we were made differently. And despite how we were made it should be understood that we all should have an equal opportunity to live life normal and enjoy it without any
