If one makes the wrong choice while struggling with an internal conflict and chooses not to get a second opinion on their situation, they can ruin their lives and the lives of others depending on how drastic their predicament is. Also, if one is not in the right mind set before making a decision, they will most likely continue to make the wrong choice when faced with a dilemma which in turn will affect their chances of living a full, happy, and successful life in years to come. Citizens all around the globe need to realize that it is alright to talk about your problems with people who are willing to listen and who generally care about you. It is okay to go against the social norm, act emotionally, and show a little bit of weakness. If we keep everything to ourselves, we will be miserable in our lives and will merely need to pretend that we enjoy life, when in reality we are suffering.
For some, inner strength is found and heroes emerge, leading the town through its time of darkness, whilst others stoop down to the lowest form of human behaviour in order to cope with their hardship. This is a notion mimicked in society today. Under the pressures of our lives, our thoughts can become corrupted and our actions callous. By emphasising the change of society’s values as a result of the plague, Brooks was seeking to encourage readers to realise that while certain situations in life are beyond our personal control, we should attempt to not only accept but embrace these dilemmas, so that our human existence can benefit in light of

Kirk Bauer English I Section 3287 Diane Mannone 11/22/09 Cannery Row – Materialism vs. Harmony In the novel Cannery Row, author John Steinbeck comments continually throughout the book on how the pursuit of materialism is almost always the cause of disharmony. Taking place so close to the disaster of the Great Depression, the book explores an area of life that was still sensitive to many people. The tone of the book reflects the opinion that pursuing material things leads to unhappiness and problems while the vagrant life frees one of those desires and the pain of loss when life takes them away. There are examples from both the economic and the natural worlds as the natural world represents the furthest extreme from the capitalist
1.1 The causes of distress are varied and differ from person to person. The causes can be a range of external factors; however, the reasons have a much deeper, psychological influence which affects the way different people respond to different circumstances. Most people most of the time behave within the accepted norms of society. However, occasionally the emotions may become too powerful or the control which people have over their emotional feelings relaxes, resulting in a display of emotion which is recognised as distress. People commonly become distressed when: * They are informed of the death or serious illness of someone close to them * They receive other bad or worrying news * There is an overload of work or family pressures
Not everyone respond in the same form to a crisis, so the respond will always be different and so will the intervention for the individual. It is always very important for a worker to understand the way a client may take information of a crisis. There are different kinds of intervention mechanisms that can be used to help a client recover with his or her feelings. There are ways that most individuals may cope with a crisis some may try to harm him or herself through homicide or suicide. You have those who just pass out and then you have some who just became mute and in a sage of
In Year of Wonders what is it that enables some characters to emerge from horrific events and others to sink beneath them? Geraldine Brooks’s author of Year of wonders explores the complex lives of many characters throughout the crisis of the plague in 1665. Faced with isolation, grief, tragedy, and circumstances beyond their control the choice to take the ability to emerge from hardship is prevailed using strength of character, sense of responsibility for their actions and individual power. The utilisation of certain strong attributes and characteristics is what enables different characters to rise above adversity, while a failure to do so inevitable results in their downfall. Many characters show extraordinary strength in times of great difficulty.
* Depression: persistent sad, anxious or empty mood; loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities; feelings of guilt and shame; or hopelessness about the future.

George Moore once said “The difficulty in life is the choice...” In other words, one faces many situations throughout life in which a choice must be made. Typically, the choice made defines the character and alters or affects the person’s path in life. Making a careless decision has the potential to destroy everything the character stands for and can lead to the decline of the individual’s sense of direction. However, a well thought out choice can liberate the soul from discontent even when the choice involves hurting others for the sake of saving yourself. I agree with this quote since reacting on impulse in a difficult situation is a lot simpler than thinking your next step through and basing your actions upon filtered and well thought out options.
