This is very detailed and horrific because he is saying he won’t be able to stop his soldiers from raping the women in the city. Henry’s choice of words in this speech show us that not only can Henry influence people into fighting but he can create the illusion that disturbing things will happen if you don’t do what I say. This actually isn’t the best type of leadership because he his leading with fear. It is an effective form of leadership but it is one that doesn’t always work
“Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss”(204). By saying this Henry is saying that the British will kiss your check and pretend everything is okay but they will turn and stab you in the back like Judas did to Jesus. Henry uses all these techniques to try to persuade the members of the house that there is no other solution, that everything has been tried and they must accept the fact that Britain will not accept compromise. “Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer…we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on”(204). Henry had many ideas and thoughts, which he shared with the Virginia House in 1775, but he probably never thought that his ideas would still being talked about and discussed almost 235 years later.
This would create a vicious cycle of the poor against the rich and the perfect against those unable to reach perfection. This would never allow anyone to fight for their dreams or to try to seek a better future for them or for their families. In Conclusion, the genetic technology that we see in the movie “Gattaca” would be very harmful for society and have bad effects on how people live. It would stop those who aren’t born as planned from fighting to achieve something out of what is expected. It would be very prejudicial and people would stop caring for who you care and just look at what your hereditary traits say.
Huck completely now views Jim as more than just property, but as a person. Twains big idea was the fact that society can change but only if we want to change and we educate ourselves. Educating people is the way to break the chain and everyone to individually fall from the pack and be their own person, much like Huckleberry Finn did. Twain notices that society is corrupt and that we should each do what is right individually because it’s human nature to not kill other humans. Society is corrupted by greed and power and if every person were to take a stand and think for themselves the world would be a better
He immediately begins attacking Hester, pestering her with questions and statements such as, "Thou wilt not reveal his name? Not the less he is mine," resumed he, with a look of confidence, as if destiny were at one with him. "He bears no letter of infamy wrought into his garment, as thou dost, but I shall read it on his heart”(83). Chillingworth tries to shame Hester into telling him the truth. He does not know her lover is Dimmesdale at this point so he can only go to Hester and hold the letter above her head, taunting her in a sense, in the hope that she will give in and say the name.
The dehumanization of another group allows unthinkable crimes to be committed; neither party is benefited by this separation. The Rational Optimist explains the gains of working together while, The Grapes of Wrath and District 9 show us that the dehumanization of others only hinders progress and hurts those involved. This human defense mechanism against the unknown is born from fear and breeds evil. We must turn away from it, reap the benefits of working together, and allow progress to unfold before
You will never learn much more about the Brotherhood than that it exists and that you belong to it." (Orwell 171) O'Brien knows that Winston and Julia have feelings, and he uses those feelings to further entrap them . In order to have a successful rebellion one must have hope that one's cause will work. After talking about the perils of the membership of the Brotherhood he closes saying, "You will have to get used to living without results and without hope. You will work for a while, you will be caught, you will confess, and then you will die."

For those of the knightly class, it was a way of penance; by killing the “heathens” they were able to cleanse their sins. And for those of the much higher class, it was a way of eliminating rivals through false accusations of heresy that would allow them to wage war without the religious ramifications from the pope. And then for the Italian cities, it all came down to money. With their already constant war with the Arabs for control over the Mediterranean, a crusade to take land from them with the help of other armies was most beneficial. They also made sure to gain what they could, financially, from the Christian armies as well by charging a great deal for there services as transports to the East.
We should rather look at the Code as being a framework of moral, spiritual, and mathematical formulas, which are aimed to “guide the people aright”[1] so that they may permanently destroy the wicked and the evil. Hammurabi, the devout, god fearing prince, to cause justice to prevail in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil, that the strong might not oppress the weak, to rise like the sun over the black-headed and to light up the land. [2] We must recognize that the Code demonstrates the way the Babylonian state attempted to regulate morality in an effort to maintain permanent social order and spiritual harmony with the Gods. Just by reading the entire prologue, one can sense that the Code of Hammurabi holds a far more dedicated approach to that of a divine goal of “purifying, restoring, reviving, expanding and perfecting”[3] the nation of Mesopotamia. The somewhat crude codes appear unfair at times, due to social distinctions and intensity of punishments, but one must look at these clauses in a contextual basis.
