It is shown with Dolphus Raymond, who people do not see as fitting in with Maycomb, but the reader finds out why he lives the way he lives. Similarly, Boo Radley is introduced as the town crazy, and something people should be afraid of. By the end of the book the readers see that he is a normal person who chooses to avoid the drama of Maycomb. And finally, the readers see Mayella Ewell, a girl from a destructed family who tries to make her life better any way that she can. On the whole, the author shows in multiple ways that a person’s image is different on the outside than on the
In their day and age these characters would be judged by many factors including social and cultural backgrounds, crimes committed and personal traits. Both of these writers seem to conjure their audience into a state where it compels them to relate to certain characters. Lady Macbeth certainly loses or suppresses her feelings of cowardice. Throughout her appalling invocation to the spirits of evil to “unsex her”, proving her ambition to attain her goal. In Jacobean times women were seen as inferior and even in the Victoria era, thus she required external forces to crush her conscience to allow her to fulfil her ambition.
Barasch vs. Hardin. Help ourselves before we help others. Barasch’s main theory focuses on the idea that you have to put yourself in the situation before you can understand it; you have to take a walk in their shoes. For most people it takes a certain level of guilt and sympathy to give handouts to the poor, but for many we tend to ignore the existence of the homeless. Why do we do that?
This can be seen through many societies throughout history and we can see an example of this in the town of Salem Massachusetts. A closed society where perceived truth too often took over the actual truth which became a breeding ground for ignorant people leading to major conflicts. Often people refuse to see the opposing argument and as a result ignorance brews. When people who are already in conflict continue to turn a blind eye to their opponents and refuse to understand their situations even more it helps their ignorance prevail and continues to harm people further. No matter how much a person tries to avoid conflict and feel that ignorance is bliss, it will take it’s toll one way or another.
The drug addicts lose all respect for themselves and these addictions end up taking over their lives. Maybe the addicts are right when they say the addictions are their own fault and aren’t a reflection towards their troubled childhood. Addicts may just get caught up in the wrong situation at the wrong time and end up getting addicted to a drug just to fit in with peers. Drug addictions will create emotional distress no matter whose fault it
Module A: Comparison of Texts Individuals challenge the values that permeate time, in a manner that is relevant to their society. This rebellion is evident in William Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew and Gil Junger’s film 10 Things I Hate About You whereby Katherina and Kat initially disregard the social expectations for women of their context. The composers portray this comparably, using textual integrity so the women’s misunderstood, shrew-like behavior is suited to their culture and society. This in turn, provokes both characters to experience a transformation of self and their values. In The Taming of The Shrew, Katherina challenges the values and themes of courtship and marriage, dismissing the female etiquette when meeting her suitor.
Besides, all kind of illegal or immoral activities would remain and root deeply in the society if most of citizens are ignorance. In the play, ignorance is apparently portrayed and paralleled to the compact majority. The compact majority can be compared to un-educated people who are generally seen in many developing countries. Compared the Bath to technology development or social development, the city cannot accomplish this development surely since the compact majority is ignorance. Ibsen, faithfully, wrote the play as a way to criticize Europe society at the times when people were not interested in any technologies and truths.
In the beginning, you immediately feel the isolation of the room in which our character lives, but you quickly figure she is there for a reason. In her writing in secret and disagreeing with physicians at all cost, you feel sorry for her, but also question if she is of right mind. There are times you are angry with the husband, but you know that is how it was at that time with how he treats her. I would agree most people reading would assume she is crazy and then see the clues that lead to postpartum depression and see the husband as not all bad. You cannot trust that her view of any reality when she seems most lucid is even clear enough for anything when you realize her state of mind.
The failure of the Taris project was inevitable. The novel Juno of Taris by Fleur Beale demonstrates that an inquisitive individual living in such an enclosed, domed society is bound to get them to start asking questions. When the Tarian civilization is run by five stubborn, close minded people who insist on keeping secrets from their people, a rebellion is certain to rise when all the hidden truths are spoken. Technology is a major reason Taris functions but when communication with the outside world is refused and technology is not updated, it causes their world to malfunction. People are born with a curious nature to want to know everything.
Wars have been waged, people have died, and relationships have been destroyed all in the name of freedom from persecution. Even after grotesque amounts of destruction and blood shed just to live a normal life, groups all around the world are still persecuted for their differences by those in society who are ignorant enough to believe that their way of living must be the only correct way to live. Through broadening our mindsets and being open to the possibilities of various styles of proper living, the world’s population can become more unified. Prejudice and racism are a significant part of society, but they can go away in the future through stripping power and meaning from the derogatory words that plague our world and from our parents being more accepting, they can teach us their accepting ways, and through passing acceptance down to future generations, it can be amplified. Prejudice is incurred by the hate we feel towards people whose customs and behaviour differ from our own; the fear of the unknown is the basis of all prejudice.
