I have learned a lot after identifying my top 7 core values now I will compare them on a personal level, local level, and a global level. The first core value I identified was economic security, and I can compare this on all three levels. On a personal level, I contribute on a daily basis by working at The Home Depot. By working at The Home Depot, I contribute to my economic security by making a salary which helps pay for school. On a local level part of the money I make goes to taxes which help local citizens afford food and healthcare. Globally I contribute by helping people install greener and more environmentally friendly options. The second core value that I discovered that was important to me is health. On a personal level, I contribute

When you usually hear the word ‘Propaganda’ negative thoughts may come to your mind. Actually, propaganda is a form of communicating that is aimed at influencing the attitude toward a community. Usually it’s aimed towards some cause or position presenting only one side of an argument. It is also normally used and introduced in many various ways. Propaganda uses techniques and any means to persuade someone towards a certain way of thinking. It can be found in writing, music, and movies. The primary goal is to get their opinion warranted and capture the interest of the audience.

I will argue that we may view the woman as representative of Odysseus’ grief in his moment of pity and pain, the simile in its entirety may be regarded as analogous to a potential future for his own oikos. Should he fail to return home or succeed to return only to deceit and demise, Odysseus will initiate the splintering of his home into the rabid hands of the suitors. The simile shifts from referring solely to Odysseus to encompass the possible fate of his entire household. This promotes the idea that this hero reaps what he sows for, as the perpetrator of like monstrosity, he faces the tragedy of a future akin to that of his own surviving victims.

In the Story of Semele, Juno desires revenge on Semele because she is pregnant with Jove’s child. Juno makes a decision to harm Semele, “I must find the girl herself, I must destroy her”(65). Her plan is to dress as Semele’s maid, and convince Semele to have Jove make love to her and appear in all his glory as he does with Juno. Semele does what Juno

The Truth of Compassion Love does not consist of pure joy, but rather, it comes with pain to those who love; to love is to sacrifice. In C. S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces, a version of Cupid and Psyche from the point of view of Psyche’s affectionate sister,Orual,the true meaning of love is brought about. Orual adores the young Psyche and cares for her like a mother. However, when the faultless Psyche is sacrificed to the Shadow Brute, son of the goddess, Ungit (Aphrodite), Orual is dumbfounded and ruined. She could to naught to stop the terrible event from taking place.

When Odysseus had gone to kill the suitors he had no intentions in doing it for fun, he believed that he had a reason. He was ‘left to defend himself’ and not only himself but he also was fighting for his family and home. To the suitors Penelope was their ticket to riches, they didn’t care for he and they only wanted what Odysseus had. “Even now her

Another aspect of the theme that was observed through references of blindness and sight is guilt and disgrace. From the beginning of the play, Sophocles establishes the theme of guilt which can be seen throughout the play, as Oedipus tries to find the person who was guilty for the murder of King Laius. His search to find the guilty individual leads him to the truth which is that he murdered King Laius, who was his father, and that he married his mother Jocaste. After finding this out, he enters an epiphany of guilt and shame as he recognizes this morbid fact. He says after blinding himself “If I had eyes, I do not know how I could bear the sight of my father, when I came to the house of Death,

After Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, he finds many suitors, including one named Antinous, the most arrogant suitor of them all. The suitors have come in an attempt to take his wife, Penelope’s hand in marriage. He and his now adult son, Telemachus, stir up a plan to slaughter the suitors, and as everything comes together, the violence and bloodshed soon commences. Odysseus took up his bow and, “...aimed and shot Antinus square in the throat and the point went stabbing clean through the soft neck and out…” (22.15-16). Just the fact that Odysseus wishes to slaughter the suitors instead of negotiating with them, shows how aggressive and vicious he really is. Additionally, his savage and ferocious behavior goes against the ideology of modern heroism. Similarly, Odysseus takes part in brutal savagery against another one of Penelope’s suitors. Again with his bow, “...Odysseus loosed an arrow ripping his breast beside the nipple so hard it lodged in the man’s liver” (22.85-87). Odysseus gets kill after kill and takes the lives of many men, showing that he is a beast of a man, which was surely heroic at the time but would be frowned upon in today’s

In Euripides’ Medea, Medea is very furious because Juno left her and her children to remarry the princess. Medea does not accept the betrayal and demands punishment for leaving her after all she has done for him. Creon is aware “I’m afraid of you. You could hurt my daughter, even kill her. Every indication points that way”(793). Medea knew she was going to exile and pretended to be a victim and swore that all she said was just out of anger. Little did the king know that she had a vicious plan to kill his daughter and Creon as well. Medea indeed got what she wanted. She obtained revenged by killing her children on top of the bride and the king.“Forget your children. Afterward you’ll grieve. For even if you kill them, they were yours; you loved them. I’m a woman cursed by fortune”(817). This shows how woman did not have power over their children. Medea’s husband was the owner and that’s why she killed them because her children were not in reality hers, she just gave birth to them.

“Oedipus Rex” is a play written by Sophocles. At the start of the play, the people of Thebes were asking Oedipus, their King, for help because the city was suffering; the crops were wilting, children were conceived stillborn, and women died from giving birth. Oedipus sent Creon, his brother-in-law, to Delphi to ask the oracle of Apollo about what can save their city. Creon came back and told Oedipus that, in order to save the city, Apollo orders the death or banishment of the person who murdered the former ruler of Thebes, Laius. A close reading of the text shows that justice does not choose who to hurt, so long as it can prevail.

Contrary to many men who believe that a man must be strong and not show a woman his tenderness, Ovid shares his heart, saying, “do not think it a shame to suffer her blows or her curses; do not think it a shame, stooping, to kiss her feet” (Art 2. 522-553) . This is simply an outstanding statement, as it serves to show the true emotion and character of Ovid. This statement cannot be taken lightly

Throughout the play, characters like Tiresias and King Laius respond to suffering in a way that protects others. On page 177, Tiresias is reluctant to share Oedipus’

One of the most obvious themes in this chapter is how much the justice system failed the maids, who were, in essence, innocent. Having been raped by the suitors, the fact that they were put to death for not asking Odysseus ' permission to sleep with them is ludicrous, as the very definition of rape relies on a lack of permission. The choice of setting and style for this chapter is ironic, as, set in a

Traditionally, hamartia has been identified either as being a “tragic flaw”—a serious physical, psychological, or moral flaw in an otherwise impeccable character—or as being directly caused by such a flaw. For example, Laurence Berns states, “As a result of a flaw natural to his kind, the tragic hero harms and destroys those he loves most. It is those very qualities for which he is admired and honored that cause him to wreak great evils” (77). Oedipus, then, is said to be a just and noble ruler who cares for his people as though they were his own children. Indeed, Oedipus addresses the citizens of Thebes as “children” in Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus the King (111–113), and he burns with an admirable passion to discover the truths pertaining both to his own past and to the cause(s) behind the plague besetting his city . The fundamental purpose of this dramatic story is that a king picks up his legacy by killing Laius who is his father, so he can fill in as imperial ruler in Delphi. The metaphysical realities revealed through Oedipus' actions go beyond the noble/base, advantageous/injurious or pleasant/painful noted above. Oedipus' actions can be further defined as either virtuous (virtue) or vicious (vice). Virtue and vice are metaphysically manifested through Oedipus' actions in the play.
