But, he also talked about how men make up the wealth and arms for the country. Benjamin Franklin’s quote speaks truths that are sometimes overlooked. First, Benjamin Franklin talked about the youth of a country and how they are the most important part for the public. This idea can be boiled down to very simple truth: it is easier to prevent something than it is to cure it. All of us should practice this in today’s world.
However, the lives and upbringings of both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X provide us with some insight as to why each may lean toward the ideologies they eventually stood behind. Those who, like King, grew up with a loving, well-off family would reasonably lean toward nonviolence, and embrace the kind of democracy that seeks to employ equality and peaceful coexistence for all. On the other hand, violence and separatism are likely to appear more attractive to those who have lived Malcolm’s life, a life damaged by violence as well as sustained by its power. Both men, viewed as humanitarian leaders and heroes, sought to eliminate racism, and to discount one approach as less moral than another without the proper analysis of the conditions of their upbringing and life experiences will inevitably lead to an inaccurate and lacking understanding of their
Introduction to Literature Final Paper ENG 125 April 21, 2012 I am writing about the two short stories that read titled, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty written by James Thurber and The Story of an Hour written by Kate Chopin. I picked these two stories because to me they were both about marriages which included the trials and tribulation that come with this union. In a marriage there is want for independence and excitement along with experience that marriage can inadvertently inhibit. I found that both these stories happen to illustrate some of the wants and or needs that arise out of marriage. However both these stories do show at times how desire and or necessity can be satisfied or experienced within the confines of one’s mind and that both stories illustrate a sense of confinement that
This, though morally incorrect, made Parker an even better target. Dudley, Stephens and Brooks had families to return to, while Parker did not. This case falls into the subject of utilitarianism. Parker’s body saved three other men, “the greatest good for the greatest number of people.” Does this still make his death morally correct? Again consent falls into play.
In this paper I will discuss the philanthropic acts of Prometheus from Hesiod's Theogony and how they reflected on John D. Rockefeller Jr and his contributions to society. I will also explain the hectic relationship between Zeus and Prometheus and relate it to the relationship between Nelson Rockefeller and one of his artists Diego Rivera. Lastly I will propose that the Rockefeller's saw some aspects of themselves in each of the mythical artworks in the Rockefeller Center. In Hesiod’s Theogony, Prometheus loves human beings. He wants them to progress civilization so he does what is necessary.
However the one thing he desired most that money could never buy was his love and passion for Daisy. Gatsby believed that he could win the love of the woman he longed for by showering her with materialistic items. Tom also took great pride in his earnings and believed he was a better man because of them. He exclaims, “Now don’t think my opinion on this matter is final just because I’m stronger and more of a man than you are” (Fitzgerald). He, along with Gatsby feels content with the unnecessary materialistic items that he owns.
Accomplishing your goal can also make someone successful, but it all depends on what type of goals are being shot for. Successful men and women are not always the wealthiest, and most powerful, but live happy and self sufficient lives. In Cannery Row , the main character are successful in their own way which makes them different and unique from each other.

Men were seen as superior to woman for the fact that they were the ones with jobs, and the college degrees. The author however depicts Scout as clever because she does not believe the theory of hot steams. On the other hand Jem is smart because he tricks Scout into getting into the tire. Jem was born a hero shows that the author favors Jem because of his gender. So in all the author not only conforms to stereotype of woman but also men in a positive and negative way.
The word that can sum up many of the themes in the book is position. The word covers themes like class, wealth, social standing, and others. Social standing was very important in The Great Gatsby. For example, Tom's social standing allowed him to treat everyone, including his own wife, like dirt, except on rare occasions when he felt like being helpful. Gatsby's social standing allowed him to be generous, because everyone expected it of him after attending or hearing about one of his lavish parties.
