Bullying In The Crucible

In John Cloud’s essay “The Myths of Bullying” he talks about the reaction that schools and states have to bullying. Cloud expresses his concerns for bullying and also explains the steps that people are taking to help prevent it. He explains that most of the systems used now are not effective and are making school’s waste money. He then provides his own opinion on how bullying should be approached in school systems. Cloud’s essay not only tries to persuade the reader to his cause but he uses literary elements such as bathos and logos to appeal to and draw in the reader.

not want to admit they were wrong though because they feel the people will rebel

In the Crucible, Arthur Miller writes of the hysteria during Salem Witch Trials, hoping that the world will never do anything stupid again because of hysteria. During the Salem Witch Trials there were many people that chose to act as individuals, rather than a community. Judge Danforth, Reverend Parris , and Abigail Williams had the power to stop, and even prevent the trials, but chose not to because they did not care for anyone except themselves. Judge Danforth could have stopped the trials when he found out that he was wrong about the whole thing. Also, Parris is the reason the trails took place, and Abigail Williams fed the flame of hysteria throughout the trails. These three individual contribute to callous

Though, it may not seem this way, the impact you may have on someone can make a difference. When you make an impact on a person’s life you are taking a step forward, to make a difference. Elie Wiesel survived the Holocaust and lived to share his story. We should never forget the stories of the lost and the gone. So that we do not repeat their mistakes. All it takes is one person, an Albert Schweitzer, to make a difference. Discrimination is something that everyone, even Elie Wiesel, has to deal with. Evan Ducker and Sarah Cronk both stood up and spoke out against discrimination. Evan Ducker wrote a book to help people. I understand what it feels like to be judged based on looks. Sarah Cronk created a cheerleading squad inviting everyone to join and be united together. There is a campaign created to support and encourage others to pursue their dream job. This campaign supports people in all ages to become their dream job not just children. One person is all it takes to make a difference. The question of if a person can make a difference is silly because it only takes one person. The real question is, how can one person make a difference? So yes, one person can make a

Slapping, punching, pushing, shoving, kicking, and ultimately killing are all forms of violence that occur in a person’s lifetime. In Arthur Miller’s book, The Crucible, the act of public violence is presented. People in the community had come to accept violence as a way of life in Salem, Massachusetts. This is very much the same level of acceptance for violence in today’s society. In fact, this level of violence occurs frequently throughout the book. Community members are accustomed to violence way back in 1692, as well as in 2016. Miller points out this savage need for violence.

There has always been great activists, some are professors, such as Elie Wiesel but most importantly,, we are human beings and part of a community. Being able to help is to stand up for others beliefs in religion, culture, race and most of all political views. For that, i do agree with Elie, i want to believe in a place that a human being is more important than social standards. Many injustices have happened, one of the most horrific events in history would be the Holocaust, but over time we learn how to get the attention to help change any situation, like the day president Trump was sworn in, everyone thought that we would be made unimportant, put aside, and that is the reason why protests for women's and immigrants rights were conducted.

Bullying is when a person or group frequently harms someone who is weaker or more vulnerable then themselves. They do this by means of physical, verbal, or mental abuse. Bullies can be male, female, young or old. The nature of a bully depends on many factors such as sex, age, and past experiences. Depending on the nature of the bully, their actions can have many negative effects on others. Bullies display many characteristics such as aggression, rivalry, and competitive behavior. Bullying occurs in many different places, a good example is in the novel The Lord of the Flies. Jack, the antagonist in this novel, displays many characteristics of a bully. Many children have been

From The Crucible and my own experience there have been some types of jealousies, selfish ambitions, and peer pressures, etc. They are both the same from the story and into real life experience. So let’s start with The Crucible there is a lot going on in there because there is proctor and elizabeth and abigail and more there is jealousies and more. And in my life experience there has been the same thing like friend.From the author Victor Hugo he explained on society is a republic. Well it’s referring from the crucible where everyone in the story was in a part of jealousies. In my own life i’ve seen that there are people who have been jealous and prue pressured, etc. Well from The Crucible there was proctor and abigail and elizabeth but more

Have we ever witnessed a student receiving undeserved cruelty? Had we ever act upon it? Whether we have or not, try putting ourselves in that equation. Imagine getting verbally abused for no reason as we ponder to ourselves, “Why must this happen?” Unknowingly to us, our aggressor acts like this as a way to bring out their frustration out from upon their hidden suffering. To them, we are their only “rightful” outlet for this pain. With that perspective in mind, we must understand what human cruelty is. To sum it up, it is basically any harmful act committed by a human being. The intent of knowing this is that similar to our bully, there are numerous illustrations of such acts and worse in the categories of literature and real life. The objective of this paper is to display cases of human cruelty in the name of righteousness through pieces of work like “The Crucible” and “The Lowest Animal”, as well as a personal experience to demonstrate what we can learn from it.

Arthur Miller’s intense play, The Crucible, used historical figures and events to mimic the witch trials of Salem, and it touched on religious, justice, and the supernatural which stirred up a mixture of hate, lies, and forgiveness. The Crucible took place in 1692 in the theocracy government of Salem, Massachusetts. (LadyElisabeta. Theocracy in the Crucible. 2008) The play begins with Reverend Parris discussing alleged acts of witchcraft performed by his niece, Abigail, and his assumed possessed daughter, Betty. Abigail denies, but she was apart of this to curse Elizabeth Proctor, wife of John Proctor who had an affair with Abigail. Throughout the play the truth begins to unfold, but many were falsely accused and had to face the judge.

At the moment, Hollywood actors are falling left and right. After decades of silence, victims of sexual harassment have gained the courage to confront their harassers and accuse them. This movement all began with actresses Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan, who accused the well known Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein, of sexual harassment from two decades ago in a detailed timeline in the New York Times article, Harvey Weinstein Paid off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. Following this accusation, several others began to make sexaul harassment accusations against other popular actors. This movement quickly gained momentum, however others have tried to discredit the accusers and are calling this a modern day witch hunt.

Revenge, as defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary, is the action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands.It is, among others, one of the major themes displayed throughout the novel.In Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible”, the theme of revenge is developed throughout the novel in the conflicts between Thomas Putnam v Parris, the Putnams v the Nurses, and Abigail v Elizabeth.

Leaders like MLK Jr. highlighted the strength we have as a mass, and if we come together to say “no” none could come in our way. In King’s own words “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” showing us that we have to right injustices and use civil disobedience to beat those injustices, as he did. America was built on the idea of the people having the power, and a unified voice has all the strength. Peaceful resistance like protesting have been used by groups to plead for change, examples of groups are LGBT, W.O.W., Black Lives Matter, and so many more.

I have just reached my one millionth hit on my YouTube video! I created this video to share the depths of bullying and abuse to those worldwide. I am extraordinarily passionate about anti-bullying, and I hope to share my ideas with numerous people. Abuse is happening worldwide, and it is an action that might not ever be resolved. I wanted to construct this video because there is an abundance of harassment happening in my own town. People are getting bullied at school due to their style or certain interests they posses. Although bullying takes place everywhere, I wanted to focus my video on one specific event. This event took place in Chicago.

“A small group of people could never stand up to injustice.. Let alone one person. That is impossible.” This is what a naive person would claim. There have been many examples from fictional movies and stories, to actual events in history, in which very few people, even as few as one, was able to completely change the way of life. It does not take a thousand people or an entire ethnicity to overcome injustice. Sometimes, all it takes is just a few people, a reason to stand up to the injustice, and plenty of motivation and persistence.
