Eric Parrren Analysis

An individual can’t be influenced by their own selves but also the people that are surrounding him/her. It is due to the pressure that others put on the individual which impacts against him/her greatly as they are forced to accept it and go with it. Going with something that is not completely accepted by the individuals will ultimately cause them to feel rejection. A poet, Peter Skrzynecki, speaks of his personal experience which is strongly connected to belonging. An example is St Patrick’s college where he went to a school and felt like he didn’t learn anything from there even though he spent quite a long time there. Feliks Skrzynecki, another poem written by Peter, its where the persona talks about his father who is not Australian living

Welterweight champion Benny Paret was renowned for his ability to receive a hit, and had taken years of punishment in order to obtain his championship. Yet he proved, he was the greatest every time he stepped in the ring. However, all good things will come to an end. In the past two years, the fifteen round fights began to destroy his body. Eventually, it all would result in a tragic end. As the story draws to a close, the genre and the theme unfold. It becomes clear the author is emotionally invested, which allows for an in depth and personal view of the story. In the end, we are able to relate more than one would simply assume, and the lesson we learn is we are not the gods we all attempt to be.

Over the years, I have flirted with visual art. It started with pencil drawing, continued as an affair with marker illustration, then a dalliance with lettering, and I now have a relationship with photography. However, my favorite art will never be displayed in museums or galleries. It is not static and immutable. Rather, my chosen medium is fluid, living, volatile. No matter how well rehearsed, it will never be the same again. That’s the beauty of performance art.

The juxtaposition Eric Foner creates between Stephen A. Douglas’s, popular sovereignty and Lincoln’s absolutist ideology, demonstrations that the issue of slavery will ultimately transform the political atmosphere for years to come. According to Foner, both Lincoln and Douglas disagree on the account of the intentions of the founding fathers right to “local self-government”.

I was really moved by Ed Barker's video, and I found it to be very inspiring given to what he's been through as an Native American. Today, Native Americans and other people of color are still suffering from racism, prejudice, and discrimination due to their ethnic or racial background. One of the aspects of Ed Barker's experience that I see similar to the Native American and social class is being an outcast due to ethnic or racial background. Ed mentions in the video that when him and his family moved to Colorado, they were typecast by people in the community for being negatively stereotyped as people such as drunks and criminals just because they were Native Americans. Another aspect of Ed Barker's experience that I see similar to the Native American and social class is

Andrew Abramson reminds us that patriotism is an emotional attachment to a nation which an individual recognizes as their homeland. Abramson acknowledges that a group of NFL players had kneeled in front of the flag. Four Miami Dolphin players kneeled in front of the flag and Abramson agrees that it’s easy to say that the players shouldn’t of kneeled in front of the flag at the 9-11 anniversary. Abramson suggests that there's a disconnect and it's going to take a conversation on both sides before we can actually make change.

Shawn Pogatchnik shows how important the fact that so many migrants are trying to flee to Germany and other EU countries by using statistics. Pogatchnik states that the EU countries “...has seen more than 332,000 migrants enter so far this year.” He also says that Germany “...is expecting to take in 800,000 migrants in this year.” When people read the article, they realize that what is going on must be bad enough for hundreds of thousands of people to want to flee their own country to enter another European country.

Human dignity was the founding principle of the America. William Brennan was a staunch supporter of the Constitution as a vehicle to promote human dignity for all. For Brennan, applying the notion of “the intent of the Founder’s” to modern issues was preposterous. Brennan asserted that it was the duty of the Supreme Court to promote each individual’s human dignity. The role of the Supreme Court was to interpret current situations in light of the advancement of human dignity for all. Brennan went so far as to discuss the death penalty as a violation of human dignity that should be addressed by the Court. Brennan viewed the Constitution as a “living constitution” that needed to be viewed in terms of modern times. It would be impossible

After reading the articles in this week, they are touched me so much because they explain the really fact in college now. I understand that passing classes or even getting great grades is a way for students becoming successful. However, there are many different meanings of success for students at college.

Jonathan Zawada’s practice skips fluidly between object design, sculpture, video, installation, painting, 3D simulations and fashion. The beginnings of his practice have given him a keen eye and thoughtfulness toward the psychological make-up of our ever ‘-present’ world. Taking on complex data structures mixed with analogue elements, Zawada’s work underlines the temporality of human experience.

In the reading there is a photo shot by photographer Arthur Felig of a group of children and two adults looking on to the scene of a murder in the streets of New York. The children push, shove and smile in an attempt to see the presumed body out of frame. They are in contrast to the two adult women in frame who are both in anguish. One lady cries with her eyes closed while the other looks down to avert her gaze from the scene. It latter goes on to refer to the second lady’s downward gaze as an adult practice to not look at “something awful” (page 11). I find the stark contrast between the two groups of adults and children to be very compelling toward the idea that humans have been sensitized, or unaccustomed to the sight of death. I am not

The story of David Pelzer is prominent and inspirational throughout America. It attracts the attention of many, and breaks many people´s hearts as well. David Pelzer was knocking on death's front door, all because of his own mother. As a young boy without the protection of a mother or father, Dave´s mother was very abusive and an alcoholic. She must escape her lowly position and be recognized as a mature woman worthy and capable of love. Cinderella’s goal of a happy marriage represents the union of male and female energies, which corresponds to Campbell’s concept of the hero’s journey.

Delilah’s life is shaped by many unfortunate situations that happened not only in her childhood but her adult stages as well. She was the youngest of nine children and not necessarily wanted. In those days birth control wasn’t an option and especially not for the poor population. The way she described her childhood was full of unpredictable events and lacking stability. Listening to Delilah’s story brings up many indicators that she didn’t successfully graduate from many of Erikson’s eight stages like many of us don’t. In some cases, people have to work through a stage that they got stuck in to be able to move forward, for instance our childhood which includes Erikson’s first 4 stages where we develop a sense of hope, will purpose and competency.
