On account of having to maintain a certain level of dignity and pride with others on account of his social class, Victor has been forced to refrain from disclosing his experiment, resulting in grave tumult. For example, during the trial of Justine, he has a number of opportunities to inform others of the true murderer: the creature. However, knowing that he would be considered mad and deranged, Victor remains in solemnity, and after eventually “perceiv[ing] that the popular voice, and the countenances of the judges, had already condemned [Justine], he “fe[els] the fangs of remorse [tear] at [his] bosom” (83). In leaving Justine’s fate in the hands of the law, Victor is presenting innocence to society, two ideas that rarely coexist. His pride blinds him from this simple truth, and results in Justine’s capitulation.
This shows the distinction between the battle of right and wrong and how characters are either on one side or the other. Terry’s is influenced by his conscience throughout the film such as; when Joey Doyle is thrown off the roof, he thinks it’s unnecessary and that the guys were just going to talk to him but he trusts Johnny that it was the right decision. Another instance where Terry’s conscience effects his decisions is where he gives the tokens to Edie as he feels empathic of her brother and the damage he helped instigated. The sides of right and wrong are clearly
His opinion is mixed because although he accepts the society’s idea of Jim being a slave he still respects him. His acceptance of the society’s idea of Jim being a slave is shown when Huck addresses Jim as “Miss Watson’s nigger” (Twain, 17). By addressing Jim as such Huck is excepting society’s position on slavery without really having any experience with it himself. Huck’s acceptance is also shown when Jim brings up the idea of stealing his wife and children back, in which he responds “It most froze me to hear such talk” (Twain, 88). This shows his acceptance because he doesn’t see Jim as a person and he sees his children as someone else’s property, which he feels would be wrong to steal.
He also refused to take off his hat as a sign of respect to the judges who did attend. This seemed to confirm in the minds of the judges that Charles, even when he was on trial for his life, remained arrogant and therefore a danger to others as he could not recognise his own faults. This trial is unfair in so many ways: Firstly the setting up of the court that was to try Charles 1st was written by forerunner. Secondly, the fact that people weren’t allowed into the trial just because they didn’t agree with it, in my opinion this is the most unfair part of the trial because everybody is entitled to their opinion, even back then. Thirdly, only just over half of the 46 judges agreed to the trying of Charles 1st.
By calling the white woman a victim, Staples accepts the social perception that he perpetrator. He comes to realize the “unwieldy inheritance” of being born into a race with the unwarranted Jordan 2 “ability to alter public space.” At this point in the authors life, he does not like what he was born in to because he does not want people to categorize him as a rapist, mugger, or any other criminal without knowing who he truly
He thinks that he is the only one that opposes the corrupt authority, but does not reach out to other people because he is afraid. The Party's manipulation causes each member of society to feel isolated, and causes many to accept the Party's words as the truth. When members of society feel isolated, they turn to INGSOC for answers, even if they know it is false. The personification in the passage illustrates how INGSOC controls thought by changing history. Winston personifies the past, saying that it, "was dead" (25).
Society In Inherit the Wind, Cates challenges the law and, with it, the norms of Hillsboro society. Facing disfavor from the townspeople, he nonetheless decides to persevere in his cause. Describing his feelings of isolation, Cates explains to Drummond, “People look at me as if I was a murderer. Worse than a murderer!” Drummond, who has learned from his years as a criminal-defense attorney, along with his own struggles as an agnostic and an advocate for unpopular causes, empathizes with Cates. As Drummond says, “It’s the loneliest feeling in the world—to find yourself standing up when everybody else is sitting down.” Both Cates and Drummond experience a struggle against mainstream society.
In 1969 the federal government introduced a White Paper that proposed to eliminate Indian status: “The policies proposed recognize the simple reality that the separate legal status of Indians and the policies which have flowed from it have kept the Indian people apart from and behind other Canadians. The Indian people have not been full citizens of the communities and provinces in which they live and have not enjoyed the equality and benefits that such participation offers.” The federal government sought to surrender responsibility for Aboriginals to the provinces, repeal the Indian Act, and transfer control of lands to individual Aboriginals. But the policy was fundamentally flawed: it ignored more than a century of discrimination and handicaps that the state had imposed on Aboriginals. "Full and equal access for individuals of aboriginal descent to the democratic rights and
Evans was clearly a racist, evil man that found any words to sugarcoat the evil he wanted to inflict. He obviously has no respect for people as humans if he can call another being “parasites” and claim that part of being American is keeping the people inbred. Clancy on the other hand just seems to want to be fair and logic while keeping the law firm. He is more logic in the sense that he realizes immigrants are not problems, they are people, but people can be difficult as well. He makes it clear that all immigrants have positive and negatives because they are people not because their race makes any difference in their functionality as a hard working human.
Our external identity is genetically passed down from our parents and is basically what you see on the outside in terms of gender, hair and eye color and so on. Internal identity is more complicated, in that it comes from a number of diverse areas of life such as, family, peers, teachers, community and media. Not being able to speak or understand a language effectively excludes a person from a group or nation, and may make that person feel like a second class citizen. This occurred when the Europeans first came to Canada and encountered the First Nations People. Neither spoke the others’ language and chaos ensued and wreaked havoc on the First Nations People, who are still dealing with those repercussions today.
