Is Fear Driving Your Attitude And Actions. Whether It Be

Ambition is often the driving force in one’s life. It can have an extremely dominant impact on not only yourself, but also many people in your surroundings. You have the ability to control if the outcomes either have a lasting negative or positive effect. When a goal requires determination and hard work to complete, personal morals often take a back seat to the aspiration of accomplishing the goal. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it is clear that like many other great leaders, Macbeth exemplifies the necessary leadership virtue of ambition. Macbeth’s ambition does not just drive him to do great things. It in fact controls him. The playwright explores the idea of how an individual’s ambition can cause them to deceive others, make irrational

Fear: an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat(Websters Dictionary).Fear is something that our lives have adapted to rarely use as our ancient predecessors have.In our day and age the concept of fear comes through the stress of work. We humans no longer fear a cold nor do we fear storms as our houses protect us and on average our life spans are longer as old in the Paleolithic was 33 while currently it is 71.5(Wikipedia Life Expectancy). Why then is our fear so extensive that it can make us freeze up? “The answer is our legacy of ancient fears, the result of having spent millions of years running from predators. Our fear response is more influenced by the ancient species we struggled to escape than any modern challenges.”(The evolutionary legacy of having been prey.By Rob Dunn) This is one of the statements about human life. If this is so how do we develop from terror to finding fear fun?

“Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.” – Buddha. Buddha was a wise man and knew that someone who is ambitious can get very impatient when it comes to delaying their plan and having rivals that share the same goals. Ambition is often the result of one good thing happening which leads to one pursuing their dreams more and more. Although ambition can be a good thing, it can also be bad. Twisting people 's judgment on reality and making them perform actions they wouldn 't normally do. Such is the case in Macbeth where ambition causes Macbeth to go through with a murderous plot to become king that involves his wife plotting the murder and going insane. In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare expresses the theme of ambition by

People often fear what they don 't understand. Evolutionary psychology can be traced back millions of years, when fear helped keep man from peril. Avoiding the unknown created a sense of security. Consequently, since the beginning of mankind, our instincts have developed to be perilous of the familiar. Fear of the unknown causes people to become narrow-minded and ignorant of the unfamiliar, and how people behave when they believe something will happen even though there is no basis for their assumptions. This ideology directly correlates to Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Throughout the story, the townspeople are challenged by fear, which causes them to go against each other. The fear of change within the town associates with racism and causes the white majority to victimize a discerned black minority. The whites have developed such a strong stereotype amongst the blacks that they have become unmindful of what’s right. Boo Radley is one of the best examples of someone who is unfairly targeted because of Maycomb’s fear of the unknown. His problems with the law result in isolation within the Radley house, and because he refuses to leave his house, the townspeople are terrified and make accusations. During Tom Robinson’s trial, Atticus used logic, reason and intelligence, to prove Tom’s

As we finished reading and analyzing the story of Macbeth, we have found out his ambition which is the pursuit of power. Macbeth's ambition led him to his own downfall and have done things that is out of his characteristics. Macbeth's ambition represents a universal human pursuit of power because they will do anything to an extent to obtain power, they can be encouraged by someone to take action to get what they desire, and it can lead them to their own "downfall".

What does Shakespeare's “Macbeth” show us about human nature and how a person's ambition can drive them to do very foolish, and dangerous things to get what they want. In this I will take a look at how ambition or desire can affect a person's judgement, as well as affect themselves and the people around them.

When the desire to achieve is greater than the foregone conclusion people begin to risk what they usually would not. Ambition is defined as a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. In both Shakespeare's Macbeth and Jon krakauer's Into Thin Air ambition is what drives characters to achieve and to ignore consequences

In the article, fear was portrayed through the protests in Charlottesville. White supremacists violently attack those who opposed their views. Facts were obtained in the news conference held on Tuesday by president Donald Trump. The groups that this article is intended for, are those who were protesting (both sides) and those who have kept themselves informed on the topic for the past weeks. The fear in this article is similar to the fear displayed in my article, in the way that people dealing with the situation face to face are being exposed to a deal of injustice. However, this article is solely based on the protesters of Charlottesville, whereas the other concentrates on those being detained, facing deportation. The topic of fear was illuminated through stating information that was said from presidents in the past, yet can be seen relevant in today’s society because of the unjust actions that occur.

Everyone has a since of ambition built inside of them. Your inner self determines whether you keep it under the surface or let it all come out. In the play Macbeth ambition gets the best of the main character. This is also evident in the novel Frankenstein with its main character. Both of these characters were fallen victims of their own inner ambitious ways. Ambition in both of these books is key to the understanding of each character’s actions.

Another presence of judgment in the novel is present in the character of Bob Ewell, an oblivious, grimy, abusive father, who looks down upon Negroes, believing he can take full advantage of them because he is of the white race. Scout declares that, “all [Bob Ewell] had that made him any better than his [Black] neighbors was, that if he scrubbed with lye soap in very hot water, his skin was white” (Lee 229). This indicates that the population of Maycomb judges primarily on race instead of morals, ethics, income, personality, or lifestyle, which further proves the segregation occurring within the South. This excerpt means that the community is more accepting of an unmannerly, poor, and often-drunk man rather than an honest, harmless black man, such as Tom Robinson. Skin color is the main eparation of the people for it determines who are neglected and who are treated like royalty. Furthermore, Mr. Ewell verifies his prejudiced nature, when, “[h]e stood up and pointed his finger at Tom Robinson. ‘I seen that black nigger yonder rutttin’ on my Mayella’” (Lee 231). This further reveals Mr. Ewell’s biased behavior because it presents him mistreating Tom Robinson. Lee uses words

Ambition plays an important role in the everyday life, it drives the humankind to have a desire to achieve one’s goal. All things considered ambition has both positive and negative qualities depending how it is achieved, which can lead to one’s success or one’s downfall. When selfishness plays a role in ambition, it can cause wrongful acts to take place, for instance, a literary example of ambition is displayed in the play, The Tragedy of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare. The play mentions how the protagonist is a tragic hero named Macbeth, a noble general of Scotland who is admired by many for his bravery. Macbeth was encountered by three witches who told Macbeth he was going to be the Thane of Cawdor and was able abolish any threats who interfere

Ruthless ambition can alter the way we live our lives and participate in the world that we live in in many different ways. In The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Macbeth uses his own versions of ruthless ambition to pursue his newly bestowed “destiny,” no matter who or what gets in his way. To begin his journey of seeking his fate, Macbeth is persuaded by Lady Macbeth to murder King Duncan. It is stated in the text, “But screw your courage to the sticking place And we’ll not fail.

William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is about a general who is told a prophecy that leads him down a path of murder and insanity. This prophecy tells him he will be king, which gives him ambition to fulfill his fortune. This leads him down the wrong path, however. When people have ambition, it blinds their judgement and causes their actions to be controlled by a desire to remain in power.

A dominant theme in To Kill a Mockingbird is prejudice, the cruelty that people inflict upon others by the holding of preformed ideas. Not only does racism towards African Americans and sexism towards women reign in Maycomb, but prejudice also exists in the form of social inequality. The social stratification that exists in Maycomb is explicitly described by Jem, who states that “[t]here's four kinds of folks in the world. The ordinary kind like us and the neighbors … the Cunninghams … the Ewells … and the Negroes” (302). It is interesting to note that even though the Ewells are sorely looked down upon by the people of Maycomb, as shown by the fact that Atticus — of all people — calls them “trash” (164), they are higher up on the social ladder

The relationship between fear and moral action is simple to understand because majority of the time the two ways of living life can’t co-exist with each other. Fear and moral action can’t co-exist in neither Catch 22 nor real life, because if a person were to act out of fear it would inhibit their morals and make them act in a way they normally wouldn’t and the same goes the other way, if a person acts off the morals they believe in the fear they have won’t change that. In Catch 22 and real life we rarely see people acting with both the fear that encompasses them and the moral action they would take given a different circumstance. However, it isn’t impossible for a person to act based off the fear they feel and the morals they believe are right.
