Sometimes we believe that there aren’t any more kind and generous people in this world. When we ask people for help in a crisis and they do not follow through, it is those we least expected who jump in and lend a hand. It is only then that we see who our real friends are and get a different perspective on life. We read a story of two young Indian men traveling to Phoenix, Az. This journey is to claim a three hundred dollar savings account and an old yellow pickup truck that Victor Joseph, one of the young men’s fathers left behind when he died.
Sherman Alexie created a story of recollection and reparation when he wrote “This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona.” The story tells of a man named Victor who loses his job and then finds out his father died of a heart attack in Phoenix. He must come up with a way to get down to Arizona despite the lack of money or transportation. After being turned away with a mere hundred dollars from the Tribal Council, he ends up with an unlikely ally in the town outcast, a man named Thomas Builds-the-Fire. The two had grown up together, and were once friends, but have since become estranged. When Thomas offers to lend Victor the money for the trip he insists Victor must take him along.
During deliberations to determine if there was enough evidence to continue with the trial, Schlichtmann had a second opportunity to accept a $20 million offer from Beatrice Foods, again non market forces (his emotions) influenced his decision to decline the offer. In the end Schlichtmann settles for $8 million after much debate with his partners, who had competing interests. Schlichtmann’s partners wanted to make sure they could settle for enough to cover their expenses, otherwise they would lose all of their assets. Schlichtmann want more than the $8 million but ultimately accepted it because of the pressures he faced from his partners. The stakeholder model of the BGS relationship, in my opinion, is not depicted in this film.
When I was younger all I wanted to do was find some way to fit in, even though there is no point in trying and fit in when you were born to stand out and be different than everyone else. Everyone tends to adapt and conform to what other people think is cool. Sometimes it’s hard to try and stand out though because others who think they are better than you are constantly judging, even though God created everyone as equal. I myself am sometimes scared to do something outside of the “normal”. My friends are constantly asking why I care what others think and I still haven’t really figured that out yet.
Introspective Paper Growing up in Brooklyn, NY most believe that you are born at a disadvantage, I believe I am blessed. The people in the community aren’t really on your side and, to people outside of my community give us and label. Some are considered lucky to make it out and the others that don’t are considered to be thugs, gangster, and criminals. My community isn’t the best but it is the start of my legacy and the reason for my motivation to help others in similar situations. Helping people is something I just feel like I have to do and that it is selfish of me not to help a person in need.
I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school. So much of my personality and ethics come from my parents. One of the most important things I think my parents did was to not force religion into my life. Moreover, they did not equate being a moral person with being a religious one. This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person.
So i can say that in this class, ideology impacted me to an extent, but in certain areas, its still undefined for me. Though my education and how i can ideologically apply it to literature is still undefined, I can easily say that i really enjoyed this class. I walked out knowing more than i did when i came in, and it also altered the way i view things such as friends, family, work, religion and so on. I could never study ideology itself and truly be interested but i am very glad that i was given an opportunity to learn that there are other ways of viewing everyday
The people in charge however didn’t feel the same about it so the party came to try enforcing a equal opportunity for their community. They never showed hate towards others of different races but just made emphasis for their own community. They didn’t want more but to help and keep the oppressed people of their communities’ safe without being told they couldn’t.
