Humanization In Forever Peace

In “Shame: The emotions and morality of violence,” James Gilligan, a professor of Psychiatry at New York University, argues to make a point that shame can lead to violence in a certain amount of people. After working and interviewing with two convicts in a prison, he learns that there are three preconditions to be met before being considered violent. The first is to not show their feelings of being ashamed due to it threatening their masculinity. The second is that they can’t counteract shame with their social status, achievements, friends and family. The last is not to feel love, guilt, or fear. These preconditions make Gilligan more understanding of the inmates and their lives.

In the novel A Separate Peace, the tree is the primary symbol used to describe the hardships, adventure, and danger of the lives of the characters. While the tree is not the only symbol used by Knowles, it is the one that Gene spends most of his time reflecting on. To Gene, the tree is “tremendous” and “a steely black steeple.” But for Finny, the tree symbolizes his downfall and eventually his death. By the end of the novel, the tree has lost its significance to Gene and has become smaller and less realistic. Another big symbol in the novel is the war. World War II was of no real meaning to Gene and his classmates when they were juniors because that is all that they did was play war. But by the time their senior year had begun, the war was real and the draft was coming for them. For Finny in particular, the war symbolized his destiny as a hero because he wanted nothing more than to be an athlete and a warrior. Another primary symbol used by Knowles is the separation between the summer and winter sessions at Devon because while the summer session was filled with laid back and innocent fun, the winter session was a dark time with preparation for war. And, the last symbol recognized is the fall of Finny from the tree on the riverbank. This fall not only symbolizes the end of childly innocent times and the beginning of war filled adulthood, but it also symbolizes the eventual death of Finny. In all, the presence

These groundbreaking and controversial experiments indicate that social influence and constraints can make people comform to untruth or express cruelty. We will see how Asch and Milgram teach us that in a concrete situation with efficacious social constraints our moral sense can easily be trampled.

The Anatomy of Peace by the Arbinger Institute tells a story of a father named Lou, whose main in life is his drug-addicted son. Cory, Lou’s son, was arrested for using drugs and stealing, which lead to Lou to bringing him into a treatment program in order for them all to rehabilitate. The program, known as Camp Moriah, is lead by two men named Yusuf al-Falah and Avi Rozen, who both lost their fathers in the hands of each other’s “ethnic cousins” in war. At first, Lou was skeptical of the program but his wife, Carol, threatened to leave him if he didn't stay with the program. Initially, he was convinced that he had no responsibility for his son’s mischievous behavior that lead him to a world of crime. After agreeing to stay, he learns that

The presence of guilt has been felt by all human beings. As guilt grows in a

This ethical analysis will define the hierarchical societal pressures and psychological torment that validates acts of crime committed by Bigger Thomas in Native Son by Richard Wright and Maria in Ian McEwan’s novel The Innocent. In Wright’s novel, the main protagonist, Bigger Thomas, is a twenty year old that is prone to crime because of being marginalized in a racist white society that will not allow him to advance himself. After accidently killing Mary Dalton, Bigger’s fear of being caught is part of psychological torment that partially vindicates him from the crime. This is also true of Maria’s murder of Otto to protect Leonard from getting killed during a fistfight, since Otto had psychologically and physically abused her. Maria’s case is more compelling than Bigger’s, but they both share the underlying hierarchical abuse of society and the psychological torment that vindicates the traumatic outburst that lead to murder. These criminal acts define certain circumstances in which “crimes of passions” are vindicated in relation to the abuse and mental torment of the perpetrator of the crime. In essence, an ethical analysis of Bigger Thomas and Maria will definer the vindication of certain crimes due to hierarchical oppression and psychological torment in crimes of passion.

Achieving peace required that all men and all nations move in the “direction of compassionate tending to citizens.” Addams maintained that as men and nations eneed to the needs of citizens the possibility of war become more remote, Addams understanding of peace was deeply rooted in her sense of optimism about human beings. Addams believed”human beings are more similar that they are different and what unites is stronger than what divides. Given these news, she maintained “war is not a natural activity for mankind” and that it was abnormal for men to fight against each other. The process of coming together into friendly relationships is at the heart of

Draft thesis statement: Through numerous examples as illustrated in Milgram’s “The Perils of Obedience”, along with the “Replicating Milgrim” experiment by Burger, individuals that have comprised an entirely different set of moral in order to obey, should not be excused for all accountability, even when responsibility is presumably accepted by someone with authority, as there is a lack of correlation between the impact of self awareness in morality to the pressure for obedience.

There is an image in my mind of the perfect live I want to have. One aspect of the future life I want to live is being a doctor that is how I see myself in the future helping little new babies. I want to be a OBGYN because I really love to be around babies and I know that becoming an OBGYN is very difficult, but is a career that I am passion about and is a career that I am 100% sure I want to do. Becoming a OBGYN is the future I want to have and it relates to the book “The Anatomy of Peace” because in the story Lou´s wanted his son Cory to changed. That relates with me for two reasons because I want to become an OBGYN to help people, but also I want to changed my life to the be better and not have to struggle and Cory´s dad want him to changed

There is a common assumption that criminals who have been convicted of heinous crimes are unable to turn away from their wicked ways.From this perspective, violent criminals are violent by nature; they cannot or do not want to perceive their actions to be immoral. This assumption might also suggest that human beings do not choose to be violent but are born violent. However, it is evident that once one realizes the horrid crime they have committed, they will change a new leaf and a new perspective. In this essay, I will argue that there are specific techniques of re-socialization that cause the transformation of a violent criminal to a law-abiding citizen. The transformation is not straightforward; there will be uncertainties and animpasse, however an individual’s criminal act does not changetheir human genealogy.

guilty feelings are not the same. Men and women can have knowledge without feelings, and they can have feelings without the truth. Even when they are suppressed, however, the knowledge of guilt always produces certain objective needs, which make their own demands for satisfaction regardless of the state of feelings. These needs include confession, atonement, reconciliation, and justification Recognized, Repentance so that these four needs can be really satisfied. But when guilty knowledge is suppressed, they can only be displaced. This generates the impulse for further error. Taking the four needs one by one

Following the booming success of the early twentieth century was met with an alarming rate of atrocities that took the lives any innocent people worldwide. The prompting of these casualties found its home in erosion of moral identity seen through the weakening of psychological tendencies that resulted in humane actions which composed one’s moral identity. The gradual erosion of moral identities lead to people being resocialized to adopt psychological tendencies to wage war against those who existed outside of their social group. However, the erosion of the moral identity can be counteracted through a moral breakthrough a person could possibly have once recognizing the inhumanity of their action or through the use of moral imagination on a societal

Paradoxically refusing to submit to the magnitude of blame while desperately searching for the instant gratification of grace, an offender rends into the ultimate weapon of guilt: isolation. In response, isolation creates a one-sided mirror in close relationships. This indicates that ultimately, guilt impairs all rationale, yet simultaneously gives liquid courage to progress on the path towards redemption.

Communities are governed by this shared vision of ‘good’, reflected by laws, policies and non profit organizations to name a few. Human impulse towards justice, compassion, charity and so forth will lead towards appropriate mobilization for action. While describing natural intelligence Dewey states that, “there exist a mixture of good and evil, and that reconstruction in the direction of the good which is indicated by ideal ends… not expecting abrupt and complete transformation to occur, the disorder, cruelty, and oppression that exist would be reduced” (p.44). Although ‘good’ human impulses reduce existing ‘evils’ they do not completely eradicate the latter, further proving that human limitations exist when combatting external forces with cooperative efforts.
