Euripides has been accused of being a misogynist as well as the world's first feminist. In your view, do the portrayals of Medea and Jason allow such contradictory interpretations? Euripides' Greek tragic play, 'Medea', depicts a wife's desire to right the wrongs done to her by her husband and in the pursuit of satisfaction, she commits the heinous of crimes, infanticide. The play is set in a patriarchal society, where women are treated as mere tools to satisfy their male partners. Euripides' portrays Medea as both a weak and strong woman, being able to stand up to some of the male characters and simultaneously succumb to their presence.
In life fate is determined by personal choice and High power. In the odyssey by Homer Odysseus and Telemachus make choices that determine their life. Poseidon has bitterness toward Odysseus. “Yet all the gods have pitied lord Odysseus all but Poseidon raging cold and rough against the brave new king” (29). In Greek culture if a man wants to marry a woman You became a suitor for that woman and if anything goes wrong You must be willing to clash for the woman even if A the man is still not in love with her.
This blatant sexism at the start of a woman’s life leads to nothing but a life under a man’s thumb, from her father to later on, her husband. Being from a culture where traditionally there are subtle influences of male dominance, I immediately found this issue to be quite relatable. The way Euripides handles gender inequality in 431 BC, with sarcastic humour and cunningness is something that provided, for me, the spark in Medea, both as a play and as a character. Also, I believe that ancient Greek culture was only by that time beginning to fathom the inner workings of a woman’s mind. I feel inspired to see how open-minded Euripides was about a controversial topic that still causes problems in the 21st century.
The personal code of ethics will mold me to be a better person to the community and the society that I belong into. Life would be dull unless you put meaning to it, by the personal code of ethics I will embrace the essential meaning of my existence and makes me able to partake to the obligations I want to return to the community and the society in general in which I owe something and as one of the many reasons that made me whole.
It is thought that the best way to prevent re-offending is re-integration.” Processes of this nature are sometimes all the victim wants. It allows them to move forward with their lives. Not to be mistaken there is a difference between restorative justice and forgiveness. Forgiveness is sometimes just treated as an emotion per say where as the restorative justice process is used to involve all stakeholders as noted above. It allows
Culture, the shared products of society, gives our lives meaning and makes social life possible. Material and nonmaterial culture binds society together and helps members of a society relate to each other. Norms are a culture’s rules of conduct and anything that goes against the norms of society is seen as deviant. Violation of norms causes strong reactions because it threatens the social fabric of society. Through acculturation, minority groups change distinctive cultural traits to conform to those of the host society.
Justice is the philosophical idea that everyone is equal and should be treated the same, with their basic human rights met; it is not universal, and depends on the individual perspectives and situations of each person, and can be influenced by social factors such as culture and background. In legal terms, justice refers to the balance of rights between victims, offenders, and the broader society. The idea that there is tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms when attempting to achieve justice centres on the fact that we value and look for a safe environment to live in where all our individual rights and freedoms are well maintained. When trying to achieve justice, two main standard values are considered, just deserts and compassion. Every criminal case will inspire people to be dedicated to a certain emotion, depending on the situation of the accused and our personal bias’ towards them and their circumstances.
In one hand Mede is a part good as she was a women who wanted to have a happy life, have a family, sons, and leace peacefully, but Jason ten abandoned her and he can be seen as the “bad guy” of the novel. Medea in some point can make the author even feel sorry for her as she just wanted to be happy and when Jason left her she became crazy and did what she did. Medea feels she does not deserve this after all she had done for Jason “I saved your life- every greek who sailed with you on board that ship the Argo can confir it”(Euripides L.560). Furthermore she is even expelled from Corinth alone and she fears for her children. In the other hand Medea’s evil part takes control in almost all the play since Jason left her and betrayed her, she became totaly crazy and irrational in the search of revenge.
It is culture that is the building block of one’s moral beliefs. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the “Classical Theories of Morality” and the relevance of these theories to cultural identity. Aristotle’s theory suggests that every action is aimed at some good and good is the object of these actions. Aristotle defines the good as happiness (Kucukuysal and Beyhan, 2011). Happiness and good are synonymous across cultures with living well.
