The world we inhabit is filled with discrimination. It is difficult to live a life or integrity and virtue in such a place, especially during a time when everyone thinks prejudice is a common thing. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch, a lawyer during the early 1900s with two children, is one of the few who are indiscriminate. He teaches his children to treat others with the uttermost respect and tolerance. Atticus’s traits of tolerance and open mindedness persuade us to base our lifestyle on rectitude.
Living this lifestyle would drive anyone to want to rebel against authority just to spice things up a bit. Sammy chooses to resolve his struggles by standing up for what he believes is right, even if that means losing his job and sense of independence. In Baxter’s “Gryphon” Tommy in his fourth
People are tempted and forced to do things that they could never imagine or believe themselves doing. Believe it or not, it can change your overall demeanor and personality. In order to relieve stress, people will do crazy things such as disobeying the law, drugs, or killing one another, adults especially. We would not want death to be a solution in any situation. In conclusion, In the novel “A Long way Gone, memoirs of a boy soldier” by Ishmael Beah, told a story about how adults broke down a dramatical time of crisis which commonly related to the way the children represented themselves and their overall social aspect which lied within their hands.
Non-conformity is an act of rebellion, opposing the expectations set by society. Non-conformity should be admired and admonished, valued and reproved, depending on the various situations it is applied to. I believe that non-conformity may have both positive and negative outcomes, ghastly consequences and excellent results. Those who choose not to conform either do it knowing it will result in an affirmative or negative outcome, or not knowing it what they are doing at all. In all fact, an act of non-conformity cannot be judged by its rebellious nature, but by its effects on the society or things involved.
By bringing awareness to the deeper problem, we can approach it in a more positive manner than the negative manner we have always approached it in. If we approach the fathers differently, by showing them how they too can go back to school and better themselves. I think this would help solve some of the problem then just merely telling them that we will put you in jail if you do not pay. We take it for granted that the poor uneducated father knows exactly what to do to better himself, when he may not have any idea on how to, and also with no moral support. I have seen child support agencies look down their nose at fathers for not paying and he is trying to explain his situation, and the agency just turning their nose up at him, instead of heading him in the direction of success.
In retaliation of abuse and deception, McCandless fled to find truth. McCandless could have been convicted of holding a grudge, but not selfishness. Nevertheless, when children grow old, there is a mutual urge to leave the flock. Many long to find out what the world has to offer, beyond the harboring arms of overseers. Also, opposing views may argue that, since society relies on people, Chris McCandless’ divorce from social order was selfish.
The decisions they made caused their lives to have different outcomes. Holden’s journey of self-discovery is full of sadness and depression and a fall from innocence. Holden believes that everyone is innocent, but they inevitably lose it by the time they are adults. He believes that innocence is lost in childhood and thinks that he can protect children from losing their pureness by becoming the catcher in the rye. The Catcher in
In the book of Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes mentioned too many subjects like ‘why do we need sovereign?’ and ‘without justice do we still continue to live together in justice society?’ Hobbes tried to answer these questions as much as he can. Hobbes explained these things to clarify the importance of a sovereign. Why we accept to live under the roof of sovereign is to live together in a peace and justice society. Otherwise, ‘the state of nature’ is eligible. In other words, it means that there is ‘rule of jungle’ and in the rule of jungle, everyone takes care of themselves.
This tells us that Jem really wants his father to not see him as a child anymore but as an adult. If Atticus knows Jem defied him and was bugging the Radley boy again, that would upset him and Jem wants his fathers respect. I think Jem doesn’t want to disappoint his father, he wants to prove he is becoming a man. Chapter 7 1. When Jem goes back to get his pants at the Radley house he finds them poorly sewed (as if to been fixed by a man) and folded and hung on the fence as if they were waiting for him.
In this situation, Dr. Jekyll inherits his family's reputation in high social status. As a person living in this environment, Dr. Jekyll struggles to maintain his social stability when his other self emerges from suppression. This other half, known as Mr. Hyde, is represented in the story as "evil", however, Mr. Hyde's physical and internal ideas symbolizes a sense of change that society doesn't accept. Traditions have been taught and are expected to be followed because it's proven to be safe through experience. To society, Hyde is a representation of something unconventional and new which can be
