Animal Farm Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

Throughout history, leaders have proven that power has the ability to corrupt their actions. This is shown through many different leaders: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Saddam Hussein. Occasionally, an unsuitable leader comes to power and uses their control to engage in the wrong behavior for their own benefit. An indistinguishable situation is present in the novel Animal Farm, By James Orwell. This novel tells the story of the animals who live on Manor Farm and rebel against their corrupt leader, Mr. Jones. After a successful rebellion, the pigs take on their role as leaders, but soon take advantage of their power and use it in villainous ways. The only logical reason for this occurrence is the effect that power has on leaders, like the

More than half of the citizens of the United States believe that the government has more power than they should. This amount is the highest it has ever been and it continues to grow each and every year. Trusting your government is crucial to building a solid country. If the United States government is becoming more untrustworthy, the country is sure to fall apart at its seams. The government has too much control over people because they are constantly watching with cameras and electronics, they can kidnap or kill you without anyone ever knowing what happened, and they intervene in citizens lives too often.

The government of the United States controls countless affairs in the world. They control everything from the currency to the court systems. Individuals are suppose to be able to trusting your government system, which has not been the case in many different circumstances. From Richard Nixon to the Whitewater scandal, the government has been everything but honest.

Chris McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild, was not insensible or ill-equipped, but rather he was going out into the wild to locate the genuine importance of life and to perceive what it resembled to live out in the wild all alone. Chris was an incredible good example for children the whole way across the nation; since he was attempting to experience his fantasy and do what he believed was appropriate in the wild and would not tune in to what anybody instructed him to do. Chris McCandless was an adoring and minding individual who esteemed for all creation and needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from the general public and live allowed to locate the significance of life.

In the end of the book Of Mice and Men, a man feels that he must kill his closest friend. George is the name of the character that kills his friend. His friend that he killed was named Lennie. Lennie is a very large man that had very serious mental issues. Once his aunt passed away, George decided to help Lennie. They have been a pair through the whole book. Lennie stands up for him when the boss’s son, Curley, comes and messes with him. He helps Lennie stay away from Curley’s wife, which acts like a tease for the men on the farm. Lennie enjoys when George describes their dream after they get more money. Their dream is to own their own farm and have their own animals. Lennie always wishes to tend to the rabbits once they do get the farm. At the end of the book, Lennie accidently kills a puppy that was given to him. He was talking to himself in the barn with the deceased puppy, when Curley’s wife stepped in. She was very kind to him and Lennie explained what happened. She offered Lennie to feel her hair and things went south after that. He ended up accidentally killing her as well. He gets scared because he knows what he has done is bad and he runs away. Curley gets the group of men together to go and hunt Lennie down. George ends up finding him before everyone else because earlier in the book, they discussed where Lennie should go if he gets into trouble. Lennie is thrilled when George shows up and while they are talking, he asks George if he can describe their dream for

This is due to the fact that governments slowly deprive their people of little freedoms until altogether they have none left and they wrongfully do it by keeping them clueless. Accordingly citizen who sees the deceit and despicableness a government commits is a person who is dangerous to that government. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. confronts the governor of Alabama in his “I Have a Dream Speech” when he says, “with its governor having his lips dripping with words of interposition and nullification.” (King 50). This is only one example of how King exposed the government so shamelessly yet, effectively. Had he not had the prior knowledge he did or keep up with current events he might not have had the same effect. Consequently, citizens who are denied the freedom of being informed of government actions can devastate a country. This is because the people have the power to end the government when united, however the citizens of a country does not know of any wrongdoing of the government then how are they to know to put an end to

Since the beginning of humanity, there have always been the rulers, and the ruled. The rulers have always been the government, and the ruled has always been the people. One would believe that the government would be truthful and be interested in their people's well being, but clearly, this is not the case. In fact, lies are often more common than the truth. Facts are changed based on the governing party's current needs. The government wants to control their people, to have an unquestioning, thoughtless population that make them more powerful, as this is their main priority. As a generalisation, the government is more interested in their well-being than that of the people who drive it.

The government is not as it appears, contrary to how the population views it. In his novel, 1984, George Orwell discusses how the government in London took full control of the people, brainwashing them into believing they were trying to help them. The government’s supposed means of “help” was actually a method to spy on and take away the rights of the citizens. Similar to this fictional government, our present day news articles discuss evidence of the ways our government is currently spying on people, taking away their rights of privacy.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

In the novel 1984, by George Orwell, There are many fears that the author has about our world, and in the novel. Throughout the novel, depictions of governments in giving there people a lack of individual access to information. Governments are also depicted to suppress the truth, and hide it from their people... These two factors can be found in our own world, and corrupt our own governments, which the author was right to fear about. The truth is easily manipulated by government officials, even in our own democracy. People in power can drive their own personal goals, compared to doing what they were elected or hired to do. Governments control over people’s access to certain information, of what is true and what is false, is presented

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

The Outsiders novel written by S.E. Hinton continues to be A literary influence on the lives of many teens. This novel has been translated into 30 languages, and people find personal connection with either the plot or the characters themselves. I connected to this novel differently than most this book takes place on the lower end of the hierarchy and I sort of grew up in this type area I didn't live in such a bad neighborhood but I live very close to one and my dad works in the bad areas of church Hill and I went along with him there was a lot of dangerous stuff in a lot of places and things a kid my age shouldn’t of seen. “You get hardened in jail. I don't want that to happen to you. It happened to me. . .” This quote was said by Dally to Johnny on their way back to the church. This quote was important because it was the first and only time that he got emotional, he was trying to convince Johnny not to go to jail.

The government has taken full control of society and its citizens. You are watched every waking moment, your facial expressions, the words you speak, all being scrutinized and examined for any unusual behavior. There's no one you can trust; your parents, your children, your neighbors and co-workers all serve under the government's code of conduct, and wouldn't hesitate to turn you into the police if you're acting odd. If you are caught, the police will simple

Prejudice; what a strong and powerful word that is. When prejudice first comes to mind I first think of, judgment, bias, stereotyping, unfairness and intolerance. It's much more than that it's an evil discriminator act of power. A preconceived opinion of someone de to physical characteristics that can't be helped or changed. There are many different forms of prejudice but the four main ones to me are as follows. Sexism (the unfair prejudice against someone because of their sex), ageism (the pre conceived idea that they are not worthy due to someone's age), socio economic prejudice (the discrimination against someone due to their wealth/class/job place in society etc) and last but not least
