THE CREATIVE PROCESS By James Baldwin from Creative America, Ridge Press, 1962. Perhaps the primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid; the state of being alone. That all men are, when the chips are down, alone, is a banality—a banality because it is very frequently stated, but very rarely, on the evidence, believed. Most of us are not compelled to linger with the knowledge of our aloneness, for it is a knowledge that can paralyze all action in this world. There are, forever, swamps to be drained, cities to be created, mines to be exploited, children to be fed.
Macbeth allowed his conscience and want for power to subdue him into a state where nothing could stop him in his climb to the top. This sends the entire country into chaos. In Brave New World the want for stability causes the World Controllers to create a dystopia where no one can feel reality. The truth is camouflaged behind a thick layer of soma. The World Controllers decided that they never wanted their world to go into chaos as did the world of Macbeth.
Humanity’s Separation from Nature The gray unhappy air surrounds civilization as the pollution of human creations and discoveries tears us further and further from our natural beginnings. Nature no longer encompasses us with sunshine and beauty, left alone we become monsters in our outlook and attempt to take control of power we were never meant to have. With the use of drugs and the constant striving for upmost power to create living from dead we have destroyed our natural roots. Natural processes slowly disappear from the world around us, in Brave New World the Director says; "Bokanovsky's Process is one of the major instruments of social stability!" (1) This is a process where people are artificially made and conditioned into certain parts of society.
This is another reason why he doesn’t have as much power. This is a quote showing this ‘ well, I can go away,’ (to a cave) which shows that he has no concept of what he physically can and cannot do. He is also very easily led - an example of this would be when George told him to jump into a river and he did it. I turns to lennie and says ‘jump in’ an’ he jumps.” He has more physical power than mental, for example, when he broke Curley’s hand . This is why he is easily led because George told him to fight back against Curley and he did and when George tells him to stop he does.
He believed his plans to benefit the poor were more important than restrictions imposed by federal and state legislatures. “He was a crook — but he had no money; a corrupt politician — but the cost of government is third-lowest in the country; a demagogue — but he kept his campaign promises; a hillbilly — but he had no racial prejudices; an ignoramus — but he ran a business administration; a dictator — but he broadened the suffrage; an opportunist — but he had ideals." Drew Pearson uttered this spot on analogy of Huey Long; he depicted Long as an uncouth man who helped raise a state from the depths of hell. Even though his tactics could be characterized as maverick, he effectively allowed for the state of Louisiana to flourish. One reason why people could have believed that he had succumbed to fascist customs is because his ego grew exponentially in office.
He adopted a nonviolent approach and was willing to defy laws created by man that he felt were inconsistent with the laws of a higher authority. His power and influence transformed our country. Although the Four Functions of Management cover only part of what it is to be a manager, they serve as the core principles of what every manager must do. Without them it is nearly impossible for a manager to effectively and efficiently inspire others to get work done. Being a good leader is hard work, but once you master it a good manager uses power and influence effectively and efficiently to accomplish goals, inspire others and improve the situation for everyone
This story is the opposite of American stereotype, because they mostly try to dominate nature for their own good. In the film, Chris lives by nature's and his own shared rules. In the hopes of discovering the meaning of life developing an identity and finding happiness. He gets caught up in the wilderness and finds himself a victim of lonely. Humans are not meant to wander off alone.
He painted McCandless as a young man on a quest that could only be completed by having minimal things, including necessary knowledge about his voyage ahead. The fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter how you spin it, Chris McCandless walked off into the dangerous Alaskan terrain with next to nothing and expected to survive. Craig Medred is correct in claiming that McCandless was “killed by stupidity, not starvation” because of his poor judgement starting from when he left home, to the moment he died. There’s no debating that the equipment that Chris McCandless, or as he was going by at the time Alex Supertramp, brought along with him was minimal. Krakauer himself even describes his gear as such, “His rifle was only .22 caliber, a bore too small to rely on if he expected to kill large animals like moose and caribou, which he would have to eat if he hoped to remain very long in the country.
Over all soma did much good for the New World. Technology also took some of the jobs that the people of the Savage Land would have to do themselves. On the savage reservation were people of the New World would say they live savage, did not have any technology to do hard labor. The absence of technology made it very difficult for the Savages lives to be as chilled out and laid back as those of the New World. Huxley makes it clear that technology is not totally evil and misused, but actually can turn out to better
In his blind obsession of science, Victor loses sight of all that makes life worth living. “…the beauty if the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” (35). Alas, Victor rejected the very creature that almost gave up his life for during the process of making it. After rejecting the creature, Victor does not even possess the strength of character to take responsibility for his creation. Instead, he cannot resolve the issue and allows the creature to roam in the wild.
