For instance, Irene and Clare have so many similarities. She's light-skinned enough to pass as white; this makes her parallel to Clare. When Irene is contemplating about ratting Clare out to Clare's husband, it's similar to betraying herself, and betraying her own desire to appear white. Irene was stuck in the middle and all her insecurities got to her in the end. She enjoyed the thrill of being able to see the world of two sides in a way white and black. Irene and Clare are black, but their light skin allows for them to pass as white. So they're divided into two parts. Irene is torn up about Clare and she definitely resents Clare's affair with her husband, but she wants to side with her because the two women have so much in common. Clare

Techniques of neutralization are ways for people to justify their defiance of society’s norms. These are observed in five categories: denial of responsibility, denial of injury, denial of a victim, condemnation of the condemner, and appeal to higher loyalties. Denial of responsibility puts the blame on the persons surrounding temptations rather than themselves. They say that they couldn’t control their urges. An example of this would be if someone were to break a vase and they justified their actions by saying they couldn’t help themselves.
The history of The Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States is a fascinating account of a group of human beings, forcibly taken from their homeland, brought to a strange new continent, and forced to endure countless inhuman atrocities. Forced into a life of involuntary servitude to white slave owners, African Americans were to face an uphill battle for many years to come. Who would face that battle? To say the fight for black civil rights "was a grassroots movement of ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary things" would be an understatement. Countless people made it their life's work to see the progression of civil rights in America. People like W.E.B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, A Phillip Randolph, Eleanor Roosevelt, and many
If society did not justify segregation they would not be another one trying to pass as another race, Clare and Irene life would have been different. Clare might not have been abuse by her father, or force to live with her aunts. Nor would she have choose to pass in other to move out her economic difficult life, and lie to herself about being in love with a man who don’t really love her. Irene would have her ego knock down and would focus more on herself then the image of herself. She wouldn’t been the parties organizer for the NLA nor be marry to her husband Brain. Clare and Irene might of have been best friend if Society did not have control on the mass
What is the driving force behind someone’s actions? Occasionally someone may have the intent to do one thing, but contact with an outside force may cause him to do something different. In the event of such an about-face, one may be left questioning himself. Once external forces are allowed the ability to influence, it may become impossible to decipher one’s motives.

It is often difficult to understand the decision making of people that lack the mental stability of average people. Many people may argue that mental illness has no relation to crime. Sherry Glied, and Richard G. Frank search for an explanation of violent acts and how they can be linked to some clues of psychological abnormalities. In the academic article, "Mental Illness and Violence: Lessons from the Evidence," Glied and Frank discuss the reason for which a person may become violent, whether it deals with mental health or has no relation at all. Meanwhile, Jeffrey H, Nathan, and others, conducted experiments regarding mental health problems and the seriousness of criminal issues. In, "Attribution and Serious Mental Illness: Understanding Multiple Perspectives and Ethno Cultural factors," these scholars focused on the idea that mental illness and violence are set off by other attributes, such as stress, anger and family problems. Both of these articles deal with the aspects of mental illness and the possible links to violence. In further discussion, readers will be able to understand the studies with different approaches, such as the type of audience they attract. Also, the scholars present evidence to prove the credibility of their studies.
Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights share similarities in many aspects, perhaps most plainly seen in the plots: just as Clarissa marries Richard rather than Peter Walsh in order to secure a comfortable life for herself, Catherine chooses Edgar Linton over Heathcliff in an attempt to wrest both herself and Heathcliff from the squalid lifestyle of Wuthering Heights. However, these two novels also overlap in thematic elements in that both are concerned with the opposing forces of civilization or order and chaos or madness. The recurring image of the house is an important symbol used to illustrate both authors’ order versus chaos

Violence take multiple forms, many of which are covered in the nightly news. Murder, rape, familial abuse, bullying, workplace hostility, armed robbery—all of these are societal problems with far-reaching repercussions. There have long debates and discussions regarding whether nature or nurture influences individual violent behavior. People are concerned about what makes an individual to engage in violent behavior such murder or burglary among other types of crimes. They are also concerned about what makes people stop such behavior. However, there is no precise conception whether nature, nurture or both influence violence. Some people assume that, violent behavior results from individual’s life experiences or upbringing also known as nurture. Others feel that violent behavior is more complex and results from individual’s genetic character or nature. In other words, it is not clear whether violent behavior is inborn or occurs at some point in persons’ lives, but even it’s hard, emphasizing one and ignoring other influences is always an unwise way to go.
Charlotte Bronte, born in 1816 at Thornton, Yorkshire, England, is an English writer who is one of three sisters, who are also famous for their writings. Bronte wrote Jane Eyre based on her own life experiences, which is why the novel is subtitled “An Autobiography”. Much of the romantic appeal in Jane Eyre comes from Bronte’s own personal history. Many critics argue that the novel is simply a reflection of Bronte’s life. Furthermore, there are several ways in which, Bronte’s life is similar to the life of Jane and the events that take place in the novel.
Psychological forces refer to the deep psychological impulses that govern our choices and they are formed by people’s earliest relationships and experiences. Based on this point of view, people may think they are in control but in reality are being controlled by unseen psychological forces. An example would be if you were a habitual liar it really isn’t your fault because you are compelled to lie by psychological forces over which you had no control (Chaffee, 2013, p.173).
