Morrie always emphasized the value of family and love, while King Lear saw these as trivial pursuits which at best can be used to elevate his ego. Morrie was disappointed by the way things were in his society, while initially King Lear did not care too much for it and accepted it. Morrie viewed death as completely natural and even an ideal way to live, while King Lear still wanted to live the life of a king despite dividing his land between his daughters. Despite being very different in both character and beliefs initially, both King Lear and Morrie came to acquire true wisdom by experiencing a fact of life which we regard as a phenomena; death. Both these wise men once differed in values when it came to life.
Settlers viewed themselves as above the Native Americans resulting in conflicts between the two. These conflicts escalated, and the white settlers viewed Native Americans as a threat to the country. The U.S. government forced Native Americans onto land that was viewed unimportant, or of no value at all. This has broken their circle by forcing them away from their homeland and they had to restart their lives in a new land. This was the beginning of the downfall for the Native American culture and its circle.
He had a chance to tell the town, and the court, that Abigail’s claims were false. Nevertheless, Proctor did not open his mouth. He feared that revealing the truth would put him down on the social ladder; innocent people had to pay, for his flaw, with their life. Proctor was a proud man who values his good name. He would do anything to keep his name.
Hysteria in Salem In 1692, in Salem Massachusetts, the superstition of witches existed in a society of strong Christian beliefs. Anybody who acted out of the ordinary was accused of being a witch and the accused would actually be forgiven if they blamed their accusations on another individual. In this play, a group of young girls is accused of being witches. These girls then blame other people in order to get out of trouble and even pretend to be "bewitched" in front of the court during a trial. This leads into the deaths of the innocent people who are accused and automatically found guilty.
These different things caused confusion in the Aztec society and started the downfall of the Aztec empire. Another way Cortes caused the downfall of the Aztecs was his disrespect to Aztec culture. He changed the way the people conducted themselves and destroyed their values and beliefs they kept at the center of their lives. A great example of this is when Cortes ordered them to destroy their idols and change their beliefs to the Spanish belief (most likely catholic). This caused the chieftains in the society to lose confidence in the way Montezuma was going about giving the authority to Hernan Cortes.
Moral integrity is the idea that people should live by god’s rules but also by their own principles. Giles is a great example of integrity being more meaningful to the accused than even something as serious as life. He is willing to be stoned to death in order to save his integrity by simply, never pleading guilty or not. Giles is so determined to save his integrity, that his last words included “more weight” (Act IV, 186) as the stones violently press his chest. Integrity seems to be an important factor in the lives of the people, and also in the church.
For example, Atticus do not prejudices on people while Bob does. “You nigger lover”, Bob Ewell says. He is an individual to follow the courage of his own convictions and made a decision with unrespect what supposed to be wrong.

One of examples in this novel, Bob made a wrong decision by accused Tom Robinson and blamed him for raped his old daughter, Mayella which was not true.
Most importantly, a man needs to respect his wife. In the movie, Carmen married Javier; not for money, but for love. They sacraficed, but they got through it together. A good dad is a man who would go out of his way to protect, love, teach and nurture his children to the best of his ability, regardless of being present in the home or not. Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad.
In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Sometimes it takes a certain situation or problem to occur in life, that makes an individual realize what really matters in life. A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others and their loved ones. There is nothing in the world so wonderful as to love and be loved; there is nothing as devastating as losing a loved one. A relationship that has turned sour is very difficult, both emotionally and mentally. A failing relationship can take away the energy to move forward in life.
The stolen Generation was a dreadful historical moment; our black brothers experience abuse that would never be forgotten. At that time our community discriminated against them classifying their colour as dirty and unclean and we demanded a white Australia. The white people actually attempted to breed out the blackness in Aboriginals. In my opinion I think it is inhumane and atrocious. This lead to the creation of what we called the ‘half caste’, people who were neither white nor black making them rejected from both societies.
