We can relate to the jealousy the characters felt. We know the importance of honour and how crucial it is to uphold our reputation, and it is likely we have gone through betrayal at some point in our lives. We can still understand what Shakespeare was offering to his audience in the Globe in the 1500s. Yes, Shakespeare is still very much alive in the year 2010. If you walk through a high school, read a book or watch a movie these days, it is very likely jealousy will come up in some way or another.
Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth both took up the challenge of writing some pretty heavy stuff for young readers and still managed to get their messages across. With both stories being set in post-apocalyptic dystopian societies, the Hunger Games and Divergent book series’ seem to agree that there are major issues with the world that are leading to its destruction, but they see two different roots of the problem. On one hand, the Hunger Games attacks the more wealthy population and large government and on the other, while Divergent does put some blame on the government, it mostly blames human error and flawed personalities. Although the people these books were intended for may not understand all of the hidden meanings, the general ideas will still stick in their heads and they will eventually understand it and what these stories are accusing the human race of doing wrong. In the Hunger Games, Collins is clearly pointing out that the main problems of society is government, specifically big government.
In modern times there are many imperfections in relationships, just like there were in the past. There were cheaters and liars just like there are today. This was and still is a big social issue. The author of the Canterbury Tales uses literary elements to explore the social issues in this tale perfectly. He sets up the plot and the foreshadowing thoroughly to explore the social issues.
Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim are three such great thinkers. The lasting legacy that each left behind offers us today ideas and possibilities for how to think and function in these modern times. Their thoughts prove to us that man (and woman) has not changed so much over time, but that we are very much connected to history, even despite our technological advances. The development of social order is a question of constant controversy as we try and understand the forces that shape the structures we live within. Is it the tension between the oppressors and the oppressed that mold social structure or is it the ideas and values that dictate the type of laws that govern us?

LITERARY REVIEW: THE PREVENTION OF HATE CRIMES Introduction: It is an unfortunate reality that prejudice and aggression are some of the oldest and most long standing features of human society. Many have struggled to understand and address these problematic issues including social scientists, law enforcement, and other theorists. Society’s general adaption of values such as equality and tolerance coupled with the persistence of group tensions arising from a long history of ethnic, racial and status differences has given rise to a different brand of criminal activity; the hate crime. Increases or shifts in diversity have also contributed to the emergence of the hate crime (Boeckmann, R. J., 2002). Recognition of the dangerous harm of these acts is responded to in the form of hate crime laws.
jade allen The Count of Monte Cristo essay:vengeance The novel “the Count of Monte Cristo” had many different themes ,but by far vengeance was the most important out of all of them. Vengeance was so important to both the conclusion and the climax to the story ,because that was one of the maim reasons that Dantes did all those things in the story. Both the story and the main character started going trough many changes because of the need for revenge. The theme of vengeance impacted both the story just as much as it impacted the main character Dantes. The story was impacted in such a huge way because if Dantes had never looked for vengeance when he escaped from prison he could of just got out and lived a normal life without him having to waste more of his time having to hunt down all those people that hurt him.
The director John Lee Hancock is also the screenwriter. He had a very tough job in writing the script for The Blind Side movie. He had to be extra careful in his writing because it is based on the lives of real people, and the film will forever alter their lives and put a perception about them into the world. He tried to write an honest portrayal. (StoryLink, 2010).
Justice and Mercy in Measure for Measure Measure for Measure is a play which portrays many different interesting aspects to learn. This play is one of Shakespeare’s plays where many different parts of the society of his time become more prominent, especially those parts that deal with the law, punishment and justice. Two very different contrasting views of justice are used in Measure for Measure to explore the concept of justice with the audience. During that time King James and other people in Renaissance England were among the audience so he had to deal with concepts to make them familiar. Shakespeare wrote this play during the time when laws in Elizabethan England were very harsh by today’s standards, and would be included in the protection against cruel and usual punishment in the Bill of Right.
In all of the texts I have researched, social control is portrayed in a negative light and it is the role of the protagonist to fight against the forces instilling social control in society. Social control is a topic often portrayed by authors and directors as it is an idea audiences can relate with. As they mimic reality, fictional works often present parallels to the real world in which the setting plays a big role. Often, the text is set as a dystopian type story and always focuses on one person as the root of the control who often has a strong backing either by the public or the government. The figurehead is often feared and intimidates society into conformity.
