the big idea: cruelty leads to dehumanization (either by idolizing someone as a hero: ‘the undefeatable’, ‘god-like’, or villainizing someone: ‘tyrannus villain’, ‘hell-creature’, ‘earth-razer’)

According to Ann Marie Paulin in “Cruelty, Civility and Other Weighty Matters”, the mass media are discriminating against overweight people, which creates a society where being fat is looked down upon. Paulin argues that, “the media are notorious for getting things less than accurate” (243), therefore we shouldn’t believe how they depict fat people on tv, magazines and other media sources. The author believes that not all overweight people are like, how the media portrays them, but rather their lifestyle is influenced by the culture we live in. She claimed that, “Sugary or fatty foods are often available in grab and go packages that are so much easier to take to work or eat in the car than making a healthy snack” (245). She believe there are evidence to show that humans are naturally attracted to unhealthy foods, but society continue to manufacture them to make people eat more (243-249). I agree with Paulin about how the media need to stop fat shaming because it’s not only making people feel bad, but it is promoting obesity.

For the past 300 years, the world’s society has displayed lots of unbelievable human cruelty. For example, slavery in the 18th and 19th century, African Americans were forced into harsh work labor because of their skin color. Then in the 20th century, a determined dictator, Adolf Hitler, murdered and tortured eleven million lives. This horrifying event was called the Holocaust, it occurred in 1933 but ended in 1945. Adolf Hitler was angered about the result of World War 1, so he blamed Jewish people, the disabled, and other groups. During the holocaust, the eleven million lives were forced into harsh work labors or was put into gas chambers and was killed instantly. People described the Holocaust as inhumane act, and the people that survived it, could really say it was a scarring memory.

Equality and fairness is something that people have always been striving for and hoping to receive. The novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, by author Khaled Hosseini displays the journey of two Afghan women during rough times due to the religious extremists known as the Taliban. These two women, Mariam and Laila, faced cruelty throughout their lives even at the hands of relatives and their so called loved ones.

The 13th century was the time of the Mongols, a nomadic barbaric tribe capable of brutal tasks.

The economy and the new social order was successful because they had the capability to organize daily life, create a stable social order, promote economic growth, and foster a state-centered religion. Han had suggested that peasants who worked the lands that they should try and become the local leader for other areas. People that were successful were able to influence their knowledge in other cities. The Han was able to bring in revenues from other sources such as: household taxes on the nobility, taxes and surplus grains from the wealthy merchant, mining, and mints.

Unfortunately, Han Solo’s annoyed, muttered grumbles aren’t as loud as his boots. They’ve been clicking and clacking with every single step he’s taken. Each time the heel makes contact with the porcelain floors, Han violently struggles with the near animalistic urge to just throw himself onto the godsdamned polished floor and begin tearing at his clothing already. He hates his uniform. Wait, no. That isn’t right. According to his elder sister, it’s his born right to don vesture fit for a prince. Han doesn’t doubt that, he doesn’t at all mind that his sister wants to follow the old traditions, back when things were still run by old man Jonash — but that was before he was born, before even

Personally, the three Star Wars prequels were a disappointing follow up to the original trilogy. The little plot that exists in the prequels, particularly the first, moves slowly and dully. Much of the comedy attempted in these movies fell flat, while the actors spout meaningless drivel with excess solemnity. Backstory was given to the first movies, but many questions not asked were answered. Many Star Wars fans opted to not watch these prequels because of the poor feedback given.

My senile grandpa lived with us for a short while before his death. He'd sleep on the floor in the living room, claimed beds were uncomfortable. Our cat, Miles, would knock knickknacks off the shelves onto grandpa in the night. He'd wake up pissed as hell, fuming about how the cat was trying to kill him like in the Cat From Hell segment from Tales From The Darkside.
