“The actualising tendency refers to the tendency in all forms of organic life towards more complex organisation, the fulfilment of potential, and in human beings, the actualisation of the whole person including the persons self” (Merry 2002). Through my own experience I believe there is a need for positive self regard in order for an individual to make positive choices and trust in their own decisions.”To develop a sense of trust in the accuracy and reliability of our own inner experiencing” (Merry 2002). Again through personal experiences I understand the effect of the conditions of worth have on individuals. I believe that these affect us later in life and can be explored
He didn’t want to justify his daddy’s blood, he didn’t want to be always having to do something that something else wanted him to do, that he didn’t know what it was and that was always dangerous”(135). Enoch’s blood is “wise,” meaning his fate was pre-determined by his blood. that He seemed out of control in his mind while his "blood" took over and guided him. I thought it meant that there was a connection between how his previous family such as his father turned out and how he would turn out, like his
Injustice is basically when somebody has been wronged and when adding collector is when somebody has been wronged many times over their life. Society in my opinion cannot protect themselves against these types of people because we have no way of knowing who they are. For all we know our teachers or best friend could be just like Cho, but we will never know until they lash out. The only possible way would to mandate a law requiring everybody to never wrong anybody in the world, which as we all know could not be
Belonging is an intrinsic human desire that motivates individuals to actively pursue it. Unfortunately barriers exist that make the attainment of belonging seemingly impossible to certain individuals. The challenge is to accept these obstacles, forge through them and strengthen your sense of belonging beyond its original state. Belonging is an innate part of the human psyche and we are all impacted either positively or negatively reflective of whether or not we belong. The relationships we share with those around us can either hinder or support this emotional state.
Arendt actually points out that in the Nuremburg documents, no account of murder for not fulfilling orders was ever documented (p92). Eichmann thought that not carrying out the orders of his Fuhrer was “unthinkable” and not “admirable”. The fact is, he was driven by idea of being part of something great, as a high ranking officer of the Nazi party, even at the cost of what he was doing. If he did not want to facilitate in the extermination, he could have simply applied for a transfer, as was suggested by Eric von dem Bach-Zelewski, but he did not
Ka’s father believed that it if he lived a good life the past would not affect him and that he could live at peace but that was not the case. Even though he looked different he himself would always know about all the evil actions he had committed. By changing his identity he wanted to give himself and his family a fresh start but there was a bigger fear in that he would get catch that led his wife to decide never to bring him to Mass with her again. The victims of the Dew Breaker were so affected by what had happened to them that they lived in fear that he would find them and even after they had found him, they could not find it in their hearts to hurt him. The Dew Breaker committed evil crimes but at the end, it was himself that caused him pain because he could never redo the
The view switches between him and a few sorted others, but it mostly focuses on his side. This sets him as the protagonist, even if only subconsciously. His intentions aren't to cause any trouble, but the way it seems, Merridew just will not have another person leading the group. The conch holds his symbol of power over the boys, and thus the breaking of it symbolizes the loss of any sort of power. This all seems like a tragic story about the dissolution of a society in to chaos, but the chaos was not completely one-sided.
His account of this war was based on his personal experiences and the statements of eyewitnesses, and continues to be recognized as an important work of political theory. There are some who downplay its importance, citing that it does not take into account the ability of man to change and become better human beings. However, history has borne out that human nature is not able to be completely reshaped and therefore, Thucydides reasoning that those with all of the power will continue to promote self-interest and ignore justice can be
He is genetically inferior compared to the rest of society. Due to this, he feels little sense of belonging. He is told that his goals and dreams are impossible to achieve because “no-one exceeds their potential,” however this does not deter Vincent from getting what he wants. He challenges authority and society by changing his identity. Vincent goes to extreme lengths in order to be accepted, he takes on a whole new persona so that he will belong in society,
Alexandra Stephenson 2nd period-Weber 5/21/12 Ethical Choices One of the biggest ideas in Frankenstein is doing the right thing. Victor Frankenstein doesn’t stand up for what is right because he wouldn’t put himself at risk of being considered crazy or having to admit fault and take responsibility if it wasn’t in his “best interest”. We see that when people don’t stand up for what is right, others, even people they are close to, will get hurt. We see that Victor gave no consideration of the consequences of producing life on his own and only wanted the fame that came with a huge discovery. He then abandons the monster because of its hideous appearance.
