The specific examples in this case study that exemplify these symptoms are how that Tom, Susie, and Richard all formed a plan without the consideration or input from the two new members of the group – Mark and Betty. Then there was how Tom asserted his “knowledge” that the group did not need outside references despite the instructions and despite Mark’s concern on the matter. This was followed by the attitude given to him by Susie and Richard for even challenging the three members’ plan at all. Then we have the example of fear shown by Mark and Betty to voice their concerns to the professor because of how the rest of the members of the group may handle it based on their
I found it engaging how he hooked his audience in by starting his speech with a parable, a typical approach for most addresses, and then made it instantly clear that he wasn’t going to stay on that traditional path and opposed his opening introduction. By doing that, Wallace set himself up to the students as someone who isn’t trying to lecture them. Wallace is merely trying to warn the graduating students what they’re in for in regards to their futures, and how to help guide them to sanity and hope. Wallace addresses the audience, a group of students significantly younger who haven’t experienced the “ins and outs” of life yet, as peers rather than minors. Wallace achieves this by using a tone more casual than preachy.
Ze Wei Jacky Luo Section 1 10/07/09 Final Draft The hardship of Cosmopolitanism Conversations are the most important tool for people to express themselves to others. In Chapter two of “Cosmopolitanism Ethics in the world of Stangers” written by Kwame Anthony Appiah, he points out that every culture, every society has its own view on what is correct or not. Appiah argued that positivism and relativism is not a way to encourage communications, because the idea of cosmopolitanism is that everyone in form of one community respect and share their ideas with each other. Appiah believe if everybody on this world are open minded and trying to lead everyone from different culture perform as a global citizen. Appiah also mentions that positivism had driven by two fundamentally kinds of psychological states, which are beliefs and desires. Both of them have different “direction of fit.” said Elizabeth Anscombe.
Many people tried to civilize Huckleberry Finn as they saw necessary. Widow Douglas and Miss Watson tried to conform Huck into a proper young gentlemen. They made him literate, tried to teach him the basis of etiquette, and gave Huck some religious knowledge. No one of this made Huckleberry a relatively happy little boy, and what the two women tried to teach Huck almost all faded away when he did into the river. However, the things that Widow Douglas and Miss Watson tried to instill in Huckleberry Finn was exactly what Mark Twain wanted to point out.
-pg 32 “You can’t you’d have to be a heathen!” -pg 44 “old reputable names” used to describe bureaucrats. -pg 47 “it’s always good to have the majority on your side.” -pg 53 “The only trouble is that you and your administration were the ones who insisted that the water supply be built where it is, and now your afraid to admit the blunder you committed.” Just like the girls in The Crucible, they are to far in to back out. -pg 54 “I do care a little about my reputation.” -pg 54 “Can’t you imagine what consequences that is going to have for you?” sounds like something someone would say to Proctor in The Crucible. -pg 55 “You’re always barking about authority” -pg 56 “I forbid you as your superior, and when I give orders you obey.” This describes Abigail from the girls’ point of view. -pg 57 “And if I don’t obey?” Reminds me of Betty and Mary.
Shouldn’t he always be the one who should be served not serving? And why did Vance choose Junah, Heady, and Michael? I personally saw nothing that was truly special or deserving of something from God. I tried really hard to answer these questions myself; however, I only came to one conclusion. Perhaps god took the position a caddie and humbled himself was another motif/lesson placed in by the author.
She expresses to the reader how strongly she feels about needing to speak up and questioning authority. For as long as she can remember she herself did not speak up and has found that nothing can get better if no one questions the head decision makers. “For many years, I have done just that-listened, observed, and quietly formed my own opinions, in a culture that rarely asks questions because it has all the answers”(Williams 442). It is not right to sit back and do nothing when there is something going on that needs to be fixed or stopped. When people are taught to not act upon what they feel is right because a higher power is telling them that that is the way it is, then no problem can ever be solved.
Watching his story made me so happy because he was a fighter and he didn’t give up. You never heard him complaint, the only thing you heard him speak on was how teachers and other individuals didn’t believe in him what so ever. The comment in this documentary that stood out the most to me was when he stated that “they wanted my mother to put me in an institution but she wouldn’t give me up”. That statement alone let me know that not only did Dan believe in himself but his mother did as well. Sometimes we as individuals need that strong somebody to stand behind us and fight for us to make other people stand back and maybe look at the situation from a
When Douglass says, “I made no effort to comply having now made up my mind to let him do his worst.”(426) Douglass’s point of view shows what he does and sees it. Douglass said that so everyone knows that he made up his mind. When Douglass said, “I told him as well as I could, for I scarce had strength to speak.”(426) In his point of view, Douglass was showing how he was afraid to speak, but had the strength to. When readers see Douglass’s point of view, they see how strong he is. With point of view, the author really shows how the person sees and portrays things.
All in all the book showed me that you don’t have to be like everyone and normal is or rated. Equality 7-2521 didn’t learn this until he got exiled from every one. I think when Ayn wrote “Anthem” that what he want people to know, to embrace your differences. If people understood the message of the book the world would start changing and no one would envy someone just thumbs up for their style and
