Essential to Rosa Parks' success was Frank's guiding philosophy, in the form that he imparts it to Cody: "Just don't go... stay home," (143). Whether Cody picks his battles wisely in the future, or, like his uncle, adopts a self-defeating doctrine, will determine how and whether he over overcomes the challenges waiting for him at school. A great deal of this hinges on Ellie, but her brother's gift is not lost on her. Though Frank's personal boycott was not successful, through Cody he leaves behind a legacy of virtue and
Emerson and Thoreau agree that in the transition from childhood to adulthood, man restricts original thoughts and actions so that he may be accepted by others, which impedes his individual growth. In Emerson’s essay “Self Reliance,” he considers that “A boy is in the parlour what the pits is in his playhouse; independent, irresponsible ... He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests: he gives an independent, genuine verdict.” Emerson emphasizes that a child does what he desires and freely speaks what’s on his mind without consideration of consequences. Emerson admires such genuine actions because they express uninhibited and uninfluenced original thought which is critical to a person’s development as a unique individual. In contrast, Emerson deems that “man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness; as soon as he has once acted with éclat, he is a committed person.” As man matures into adulthood, he begins to take into account others’ opinions, conforming to how he should think and act in society so that he may gain the approval of his peers, and through this, he loses his own inner voice and his uniqueness which defines him … metaphorically, he is "jailed.” Emerson believes that successful men are those,
Exploring and understanding different characters decisions and beliefs truly helps reveal human morality. Aside from Scout, her father Atticus helps explore the good and bad of the Maycomb community. Atticus understands that, rather than being good or evil, everyone has good and bad qualities. The important thing is to appreciate the good qualities and understand the bad qualities by being comprehensive to others and trying to see life from their shoes. “You never really understood a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb into his skin and walk around it.” pg 30.
In the first chapter it explains, that even if you do something wrong it is ok, because you need to learn from it and next time do an even better job. When we go into the second chapter, she discusses the theme into another perspective. It made me realize that in my family I do have a member that does this whole thick face black heart. My brother, he always has an attitude that shows that he does not care what people have to say and does what he wants. He shows no fear in anything, even if he is afraid he will find a way to take it and learn to take the fear away, which I personally find amazing.
Jim’s self-concept is, “I just want to go to school and do the best I can and be normal.” Such as hang out, party a little from time to time, basically living his own life not the life of his father’s. Well I totally can relate to Jims father because, we as parents work as extremely hard for our children because we only want what’s best for them, is it right No, most defiantly not it depressed Jim because he feels like he is doing the best he can do, and his father just don’t understand. That it isn’t as easy for him as it was when he was in school. Jim’s father self-concept of Jim is more positive because he sees in Jim what Jim isn’t able to see, he is motivating him to do better than what he is doing. Sections such as motives, Jim’s father motives were to get good grade and be accomplished.
In the novel the characters trust Nick and confide in him quite a bit. He thinks of himself as an open minded non-judgmental, non-partial person. I think that it is almost impossible to live your life and not judge others and also not be partial and judge different individuals with different standards. Nick wants the readers to believe that the way he was raised gives him the right to pass judgment on an immoral world. He says, that as a consequence of the way he was raised he is "inclined to reserve all judgments" about other people (page 5).
Fromm starts off by suggesting that man's nature of being excessively obedient may bring an end to the world we're living in; From states “ human history began with an act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience” (Fromm, paragraph 2). Fromm suggestion isn’t a coincidence, in fact in “Obedience” by Ian Parker, Parker reveals that “people tend to do things because of where they are, not who they are […]” (Parker, 385). This quote leads us to the Asch experiment described in “Opinions and Social Pressure” by Asch. The Asch Experiment results are interesting and show that peer pressure can have a measurable influence on the answers given by an individual. So individuals become obedient because of the pressure they’re facing from the environment they’re in.
He is thoughtful one moment and conniving the next; he's willing to sacrifice for his family, but he's also willing sacrifice someone else's family for the benefit of his own, and he is unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions. “All my sons” is about living the American Dream. Joe has the house in the suburbs after WWII, has the perfect child, lives in the perfect neighborhood, and shares his life with the perfect neighbours. What Joe perceives as perfection was bought on lies and deceit. His feeling of family loyalty is based on disloyalty to others.
By placing his faith in man rather than God, he does not receive "any more comfort" (Everyman 304). The same discouragement greets Everyman after his talks with Cousin and Kindred. After Kindred and Cousin leave him, Everyman realizes that "fair promises men to me make, / but when I have most need they me forsake" (Everyman 370-371). Since man will not help him, he turns to goods. Everyman realizes that the goods he has loved his whole life do nothing but hinder his eternal happiness.
In the same vein, if the child does something wrong, an ideal punishment is important. Moreover, in the Bible, Proverbs (13:24) says “He who spares the rode hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to displine him”. Punishing a child does not mean that you hate a child however, it shows that you are concerned about that particular child and that you do not want that child to become useless in society. The other approach is cognitive approach. The term cognitive psychology came to use with the publication of the book cognitive psychology.
