In To Kill A Mockingbird, characters including Scout and Bob Ewell all have ignorance that showed what they did not know about their surrounding and the knowledge they knew about people in Maycomb County. The message of this novel is to understand the world that we live in and accept what was given to you and to judge people by their actions and not to exaggerate the negative aspects in life as in not to "Judge the color of their skin, but by their character." - Martin Luther
There is also Dr Lanyon, who is seen to be completely opposed to the science of Jekyll but loses his Victorian values to his curiosity when Jekyll reveals his secret. The contrast of “Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case” to the narrative of Mr Utterson in the other chapters of this book shows duality because Mr Utterson uses the other characters as a point of view whereas Jekyll’s statement of the case looks from only his perspective. Stevenson uses the lasting moral message that good and evil are conflicting inside people - the way that savagery and civilisation contrast and our effects on religion and science. Robert Louis Stevenson uses the character of Sir Danvers Carew to portray that civilisation and religion are important for good people whereas Mr Hyde shows evil through his curiosity of life and his height to represent youth, showing that Jekyll’s youthful sins; which were not explained in detail are replicated as Hyde. This is a comment on Victorian values that Stevenson is making.
I disagree with certain idea and issue Rene Descartes argues about in his passage. His beliefs of skepticism at points were valid at times but every human has a right to believe, do anything or create what they want to believe in their mind. To make it feel real is up to the person because we control our emotions which control our mind set to think if we are being trick to having ten fingers or to believe there is no god that created this world we call earth. The scope of knowledge in this reading "Meditations on first philosophy" by Rene Descartes is the truth of doubt. Doubt causes people to believe that you do not know something when you actually do.
He eventually finds his own morals and tells himself what is right and what is wrong. Part of this realization came from him helping Jim, which troubled his mind because of what society said about helping him. But he then based his decision to help on his own experiences and logic. That is kind of what Fahrenheit 451 puts forth. But instead of trying to gain knowledge it is being destroyed, all because society is trying to promote ignorance which causes sameness in all.
In actual fact they have neither. They cannot make a man wise or foolish…” (Crito 44d) This talks about what we as humans are truly and most harmed by, which is foolishness. By discussing these beliefs in such a manner as to question self-knowledge, Socrates assists the reader to set certain standards for how they live. One of the most important concerns that Socrates held was the fact that we are held back by bodily attachment because of the fact that we become obsessed with unimportant materialistic things rather than doing what we actually should be doing like cultivating our souls. “So long as we keep to the body and our soul is contaminated with this imperfection, there is no chance of our ever attaining satisfactorily to our object, which we assert to be Truth.” (Phaedo 66b) The human is so completely enslaved by their bodily needs that their sense of goodness and justice is off.
Isolation is one of the themes that Sherman Alexie is trying to get across to the audience. Junior, the protagonist and narrator was born with water in his brain. This caused him to have multiple physical impairments. Junior also has a curiosity that could not be matched by any of his peers. His curiosity makes him an outcast within his own people.
He quickly grows a negative view upon humanity. “My soul glowed with love and humanity: but am I not alone, miserably alone?" The monster was able to create this bond initially with humanity, which they couldn’t make it with him. So morally what makes him any less human. This could represent Shelley’s view that man in the religious times, rejects something who’s characteristics do not fit gods standards.
Most of society isn’t comfortable with people who get tattoos, piercings or with people who dye their hair or style it different ways than “normal” people. Those people are known as nonconformists. In Logan Fey’s article “The sociology of leopard man” he says “Society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers. “ I agree with that author and his statement that people do treat other people different if they act or appear different. In Logan Fey’s article, he argues that people with tattoos, piercings or extraordinary hair does all the things to them for attention.
Consumer culture drives people into a state of indifference about natural resources, and arrogance prevents people from taking an interest in the life patterns and cultures of others. These tendencies lie at the root of the world's troubles. McDaniel suggests that process theology can remedy these ills by calling people into a state of compassion and can help guide people toward adopting thoughtful self-criticism, to living a more simple life, to recognizing the importance of other living beings and ecosystems, and to celebrating diversity of cultures. (Chapple 237) McDaniel, spoken of above was discussing Ghandi’s ecumenical view of taking from other faiths, Including his own lessons about the importance of animals and biological diversity in the world. This emphasis was not new but McDaniel’s take on it is.
