These biases interrelate and tend to perpetuate someone's depression. He also suggested errors in logic could be a reason for someone to behave abnormally. This concerns the way in which someone sees an event in the past, present or future. Examples of irrational thinking that both Ellis and Beck proposed are catastrophizing (wildly exaggerating the negative aspects of an event), polarized thinking (seeing everything in extreme terms), and overgeneralization (drawing conclusions based on a single event). This approach is supported by Burt et al who asked participants to recall a list of words.
There is also the essay by Jeffrie G. Murphy’s “Jealousy, Shame, and the Rival” which discusses the jealousy that was expressed between each character and how it led to the outcome of the tragedy as exposed through tragic flaws. Each of these three essays discusses different aspects of the play to provide an overall greater understanding of the actions that led up to the resolution. In the essay by A.C Bradley, he discusses Othello and justifications to his actions. Bradley notes in Act 1 “Now, by heaven, My blood begins my safer guides to rule, And passion, having my best judgment collied, Assays to lead the way” how Othello chose to find explanation between Cassio and Montano. Although, based on the diction and tone that was chosen it also shows the self-control Othello used in order to remain calm and retrieve the information that was important for him to
Perspective is a complex matter, as it is derived from each individuals’ context and understanding of the nature of the issue. Thus, the concept of perspective is relative, meaning that each person’s views will be different from another, which creates, but does not necessarily impose, conflicting perspectives. For the purpose of this speech, the poems The Minotaur by Ted Hughes and Daddy by Sylvia Plath will be used to example the extremities of conflicting perspectives created. The Minotaur shows how Plath was a violent and manic person through the allusion of the myth about the Minotaur, a creature from Greek mythology, throughout the poem. Imagery is used to show Plath as an aggressive person, such as through the line “smash it into kindling”.
Fred Ribkoff believes that ‘tragedy dramatizes identity crises and at the root of such crises lie feelings of shame and guilt’. Focusing on the character of the character of Willy or Biff, explore how far you agree that the dramatization of shame, guilt and a crisis of identity is a crucial aspect of Death of a Salesman as a tragedy. The term identity crisis refers to a period of uncertainty and confusion in which a person’s sense of identity becomes insecure, typically due to a change in their expected aims or role in society. This definition fits particularly well towards Biff, who could be portrayed as the main ‘tragic hero’ in Miller’s Death of a Salesman, as the change in their expected aims or role in society may be linked to the protagonist’s downfall from ‘high status’. Through the first few references to Biff Loman, we are aware there is a crisis of identity.
Thereafter, an evaluation will be made as to who has a better understanding of the nature of human. One of the differences that Lotario and Pico had about human nature is the behavioural traits of humankind. Lotario felt that human has “three natural forces: the rational to distinguish between good and evil, the irascible to reject evil, the appetitive to desire good” (Lotario The Misery of the Human Condition Ex I:3) and three opposite vices(Lotario The Misery of the Human Condition Ex I:3). The three vices that corrupted these three natural forces are ignorance, anger and lust respectively (Lotario The Misery of the Human Condition Ex I:3). Lotario feels that humans’ soul have the positive forces in them.
Three aspects of burnout are emotional exhaustion, negative, cynical attitudes and feelings about one’s clients and the tendency to evaluate oneself negatively with regards to one’s work with clients. Consequences of burnout can have serious consequences to staff, patients and the healthcare institutions involved. The studies conducted led to the development of the Maslach Burnnout Inventory
In Ray Bradbury’s novel ‘Fahrenheit 451’ Bradbury explores the development of his protagonist Guy Montag. Guy gradually increases to rebel the dystopian society in which he is inhabited. Bradbury investigates this through a wide range of literary techniques to convey the development of his protagonist. At first, the reader is shown that Montag is pleased and contented with his life. This is proved by the effective and striking first line; ‘It was a pleasure to burn’ The reader may be potentially shocked at the interesting word choice as the noun ‘pleasure’ – which has strong positive connotations and linked with happiness and enjoyment – is juxtaposed with ‘burn’ which is associated with destruction.
These are the main subjects in the novel. Voltaire really focuses on what happened to Candide to inspire the readers and also to look at Candide as a real example of bravery. Voltaire describes all the dangers and bad curse with tone, themes and uses humour and ironical quotes. “Nothing could be more beautiful, smarter with a brilliant splendour than the sounds of the trumpets, drums and cannons. Altogether they form the best sound ever heard in hell”.
He also explains principles of friendship and enmity as shared pleasure and pain. He discusses how to create in readers a sense of fear and shame and shamelessness and kindness and unkindness and pity and indignation and envy and indignation and emulation. Then he starts all over and shows how to create such feelings toward ideas in various types of human character' of "people" of virtue and vice; those of youth, prime of life, and old age; and those of good fortune and those of bad fortune." Aristotle warns us, however: knowing (as a good willed writer) how to get your readers to receive your ideas by making readers "pleased and friendly" or "pained and
To Touch A Grieving Heart To Touch A Grieving Heart shows the very nature of grief and how it affects the very nature of humans as emotional and spiritual beings trap in a world full of uncertainty. The movie presented a powerful understanding of grief wherein the complex nature of human beings tends to create unique ways of how to response to it. It also shows the importance of grieving the right way wherein we see life and death are intertwined with each other which make our existence a colorful mixture of uncertainty, experiences and memories that are both good and bad, which makes this life a masterpiece of abstract truths we must accept. No one can escape death, being trapped in this fragile world full of uncertainty we as humans equipped with intelligence and surviving capabilities must of course used these innate tools in a form of pro-active response to it so that we can move on.
