The quote “I beg the next generation not to do what people have done for centuries – hate others because of their skin, shape of their eyes, or religious preference. I know what hatred does. I barely escaped what hatred does.” by Robert Clary relates to the Holocaust.First, It's about how if many people do what has happened in the past you will just repeat the Holocaust or the past. Next, the quote talks about how people can be racist. The Holocaust was based around racism because Hitler did not want Jews, Gypsies, etc. Then, the quote says he knows how hatred feels and this is saying he survived and it’s not a good feeling to feel hate.Last, the quote is about how it’s hard to fight hate. Also, how it's painful and harsh to get through it
In today’s world, people deal with the constant struggle of finding whose needs are more important. Individuals, and individualism itself, claim to have their life be there’s, and they can do whatever they please, however, when people put society’s needs before theirs, they are doing their good for society, and everyone around them. Society’s goal is to move the human population forward in a positive direction, and to help everyone instead of just one person. In today’s world, individuals must look at society, and social needs to fulfill their own needs, giving the needs of society more of an importance to all.
Of Mice and Men In the novel, there are characters who are different and are unique in society. The characters are marginalised for being different and unique, the majority of the time in the novel. The characters are discriminated against for who they're, for characteristics such as looks and their unusable behaviours. Elijah wood is famed for many reasons, but his less well-known quote shows great insight, when he said "I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world" By Elijah Wood. it's my pleasure to unpack this quote, and argue how the quote is incorrect. The discrimination of being different can effect a person life. This paper will include famous and Australian citizens examples of discrimination.
Did you ever done something that you regret it, I am sure that almost all of us done something that we regret almost every day. In this novel, a poor man tried to hold someone for ransom, but it did not turn out well. Man Ain’t you hungry the man asked the man gave them food if they light up the fire during the night of their furnace. The narrator says why You Reckon. The narrator goes place to place often, but no place is his permeant.
Topic 3 Through the eyes of society we must learn to conform into the values of what other need
The quote that I most closely identify with is, “A writer is motivated by need—the need to express himself/herself. To put it another way, writers write because they simply have to write. It is their way of dealing with their emotions, with their understandings, with their lives. When poet Alden Nowlan was once asked, “Why do you write?” he answered, “What else would I do?” For me, writing is a never-ending journey of self-discovery. I could no more give up writing than give up breathing. It is as much a part of me as my skin.” –Glen Sorestad. I identify most with this quote because as a writer, you feel the need to express yourself/thoughts on paper to create an incredible novel, poem, short story, etc. You can let all your emotions flow
Create Review What frightens me about a class that includes peer reviewing is not me reviewing others’ papers, but rather, their reviews of me. Because of this, I did not try to be too strict or too easy, and I tried to guide to guide my fellow peers along with questions instead of telling them a certain way would be better. At the beginning of my process in reviewing my peers’ papers, I decided it would be helpful to point out mostly grammar mistakes and syntax. For example, in John Silva’s essay, “A Fool with Good Intentions,” most of my focus was on correcting grammar although I briefly mentioned structure and meaning suggestions. The main criticism I had was that:
Humans or Animals? Mahatma Gandhi once said, “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” Gandhi’s wise words explore a common theme that, due to the very nature of humans, has been repeatedly instilled within society. Although it is the inherent disposition of humans to propagate benignity, even the smallest amount of negativity present within the subconscious, caused by feelings such as greed and anger, will be reflected in one's actions. It is this fatal negativity within humans that leads to millions of casualties, and despite history reprimanding the world for this flaw, the foolishness and ego present within humans causes it to be overlooked, leading to the breakdown of a society. This a prominent idea in
These two quotes can be seen as having similar common dominators. They both appear, in my opinion to acknowledge their existence of their extensions without actually paying any attention or acknowledgement of what they consist of, and also that they are influenced by the choices that they make unconsciously without knowing. It is also apparent that in both of the quotes they are lacking in the understanding of themselves as cultural beings that are shaped by the world they grew up in, adding another dimension to their self-understanding.

Direct Quote Apple makes a very good point about why there standing up to the government. I know that everyone wants their privacy;but is privacy more important or are lives? I personally agree with the government because people died. Now, since the government has the phone of the terrorists who killed those people,the government just needs to get into it. Apple warns, “...that would compromise security and could be used to access information on other users' devices” (qtd. in Mastroianni). See Apple is more worried about privacy than lives.
A quote from Henry Ford state’s that “failure is simply the opportunity to begin again this time more intelligently”. My sister showed me this quote back in 2013 when I was about to start my sophomore year at my school. Freshman year was not the best for me grades wise so my mother made the decision to move me from my old school to my new school here in the United states, she thought that this change would be good for me and make me more serious. Everyone she talked to about this did not agree because most people have a bad perception on the American educational system back in Ghana. My mother ignored them and was steadfast about her decision to change my schools.
First, this paper will discuss how Since Mencius claims we have good within us, he asserts that we must learn or self-cultivate in order to remain morally good, which can be done in various ways. He claims that our environment and our parents play a large role in teaching us moral education and providing the necessary love and respect that will develop us into the virtuous human beings we innately strive to be (2A:6). Moreover, Mencius claims if we grow up in a chaotic and neglected environment then we should not blame human nature itself, but blame the stunting of human nature for being evil given the relationship and environment we are in. As a result, Mencius believes the relationships we have and the environment we are in are crucial to the self-cultivation process because if human beings are evil it is not because their nature is evil. Through learning and the self-cultivation process we are able to develop our natural tendencies and human good within us.
Involvement in society can obscure one’s morals because there is input from others who have different backgrounds, values, and perspectives. This can be seen in Siddartha when he states “ [Property, possessions and riches] had become a chain and a burden” (63). One must create one’s own path to achieve Nirvana. Through society, however, opinions and unknown views can blur this path. Beliefs are pushed aside and replaced by those from the people in society; minds are muddled from external forces and pieces of the self are lost. A common topic throughout this novel is to stray away from following others on their path to enlightenment. Many, however, still fall victim to society and learn from those in it. One can achieve knowledge through following guidelines that
The responsibilities and actions of man in a society has long been debated. Though, often it is agreed that a man ought to be virtuous in society to better play his role in making that society operate smoothly. So, if a man ought to be virtuous, what should these virtues
