"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Luke 16:10 (NIV)

can be seen in two different ways, social and criminal. Justice is in the eye

The world is seen through many eyes and in different ways. No one sees everything the same because our experiences are different. Our experiences make us who we are. Who we are changes many things in perspective how we see things. In “On Compassion” by Barbara Ascher and “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, their different perspectives show different sides and situations.

True integrity manifests itself into those who have sought and successfully claimed redemption without fear. Such quality is demonstrated throughout the entirety of Arthur Miller 's, The Crucible, as Miller emphasizes that even the most kind-hearted people, could commit ruinous acts when involved with false accusations/hysteria. A complete contradiction is present in Flannery O’Connor’s “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” due to the lack of integrity and fear protagonist, Tom Shiftlet possesses. Throughout The Crucible and “The Life You Save May Be Your Own”, motifs of integrity, fear and lack of both are prevalent throughout the plot of the narrations and are used

“Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that needs our love.”

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly", was once said by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. This is an accurate quote to live by and refer to daily since following your instincts is usually the best decision for yourself. It leads you to do exactly what you want to do, instead of anyone getting to your mindset. This quote can also be shown in literature-characters go through hardships within there own minds. But when a third party expresses their own opinion of the problem then the character becomes confused and eventually withdrawled from what they really want. Accordingly, two works of literature that best show how following your heart(mind) is the better decision would be Tennesse Williams play The Glass

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

However in “Invisible”, people are less than just for being

Society labels people and if someone can not fit into their given category, they will live up to the stereotype by defending themselves, leaving society to acknowledge their existence. The world judges people based on class, race, and gender and this can be clearly shown in The Invisible

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. . . . That invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a peculiar disposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact. A matter of the construction of their inner eyes, those eyes with which they look through

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” (1.4.98) but there are a variety of different infections that all contribute to one main conflict. Each character within the play has not only his or her own inner trials to fight against but also each of these issues form together to create the corruption in Denmark. Throughout the course of the play each character learns to deal with his or her internal battles and each conflict combines with others to create one singular, complex problem. It seems as though every issue ties together to form a tangled web leading ultimately to the demise of seven key characters.

"I believed that my greatest effort should be directed to seek in a beautiful simplicity ...and there is no accepted rule that I have not thought should be gladly sacrificed in favour of effectiveness."

Even as a child, I had a long-standing fascination with mystics. Mystics of all traditions, I wasn't choosy. They all shared a sacred quality. Transcendental. I believed they could see into my soul. The deep look in their eyes, the grace of their step. They had a lightness to them the rest of us lacked. A lightness that drew me in.  I wanted to shed my heaviness and become light. As light as a thousand feathers. These mystics knew something the rest of us didn't. Something ancient and profound. Something not of this world. I wanted to be not of this world. I couldn't put my finger on it or find the language to describe it. It felt oddly familiar, as if I had tasted it at one point. I remembered it with my heart rather than my mind. I knew my

In Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, it talks about how the man in the story has struggled to accept who he is, and how he is seen by other’s around him. This girl comes up to him and tells him about a terrible and evil dream she had, showing him that he can accept himself when others don’t need too. He says in the story, “I myself, after existing some twenty years, did not become alive until I discover my invisibility.” (Ellison 4) By him understanding that invisibility is not only within himself, but with those all around him, he knows that he can try to overcome it. Which is how a girl in a religious family relies on those around her.

In order to address the scenarios in this assignment, one must define the when life begins. According to Thomas Aquinas God created the universe and all plants, animals and life of all types under the doctrine of External Law. Based on his vision, God instilled Natural Law in law to fulfill the parameters of External Law. Self-preservation is not only a function of protecting one’s self being, but also by ensuring the species survives. This is accomplished through the second inclination of procreation. Aquinas’ teachings proclaim that God created the universe and by doing so, created all life. So logic must dictate that life begins at conception and that the developing fetus has already been instilled with Natural Law.
