This once again caused people to look at their lives and try to discover answers. Their beliefs through tradition and culture were no longer holding true. They were confused, scared and had no idea how to treat this new lifestyle. As all humans do they began to seek answers for these questions that were arising. They noticed that things that were mystifying in
Buckley versus Barkin: A Battle of Rhetorical Strategies Both Dorothy Barkin's article "The Bystander Effect" and William Buckley's article "Why Don’t We Complain?" strive to make the same point about the complacency of human behavior when it comes to speaking out in certain situations. Buckley's article is about how people do not speak up for themselves in situations of inconvenience because they are afraid of the possible repercussions or of being viewed in a negative way by others. Buckley suggests that people care more about what other people will think of them than they do about getting their needs met or being uncomfortable. Barkin's article is about how people do not act in emergencies because they think someone else will do it, and they don't want to put themselves in danger.
Drabble is correct to argue that people tend to ignore truth in order to follow societal standards. In today's world it is often difficult to adjust to one type of lifestyle or another. The constant bombardments of outside opinions hamper our ability to choose and be comfortable with a certain way of living. Therefore, blind conformity is actually a molding of what is said to be normal in society instead of using differences to enhance humans. The malicious acts committed by Malcolm X reflect the idea that people ignore truth to conform to society.
Valid Fear of Change Change is an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another, or to make different from the way it was before. Change is feared in our society for many reasons. Most people fear change because they associate it with a change from good to bad or from bad to worse. One guess would be that we are bombarded from an early age with negative messages about change. We are encouraged to focus on all the bad things that may happen especially from our news and media telling us how things are not as good as they used to be.
This is not a good love when dealing with patriotism. How does turning a blind eye to wrongs or bad decisions the country has made benefit the people of the country now and also in the future? In a democracy such as the one in place in the United States of America, the citizens need to be able to see these flaws and speak their voice so changes can be made. In many cases the opposite also holds true. People feel they are being patriots by protesting everything the government does and find flaws with everything in this country.
Describe an important idea and explain how the director used visual and verbal features to convey the idea It is the government is accountable for protecting its citizens from external threats, but sometimes it is the government itself is a threat to society .Tony Scott’s Enemy of the states conveys the idea that we need to protect our privacy from government surveillance. He does this through the use of visual and verbal features. During the Daniel Zavitts chase scene, Scott employed tilted horizon and hand held camera. The tilt gives us a sense of unease because it makes it feel like the world has been tipped off its axis. Zavitts is panicking as he is running from the N.S.A Agents; we feel this panic through the tilt.
The Effect on Individualism the Government Has Too much power may ultimately lead to absolute corruption and lack of individuality. Those who have been selected as society’s leaders may be the ones blocking the passage of achieving individualism. Although the people of society should be entitled to their own beliefs, the government might try to destroy this as a means of control. This proves to the predicament in George Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s mind altering novel, Brave New World. Firstly, when the government aims to inflict their beliefs through sexual management to gain control, society must rebel to become truly individual.
I believe that the main reason for this erroneous behavior is to “save face”. In layman’s language it may refer to the act of avoiding the angry thrashing of parents due to bad results and in the process averting embarrassment of being labeled an academic flop. However, this is not the only reason why they cheat. Historically, this type of behavior has been traditionally studied by sociologists as either being abnormal or unusual behavior. Theories of aberrant or unusual behavior have been time and again used as possible explanations as to why they cheat (Lathrop & Foss, 2000).
