After a visit from his mother at his foster home, David decides to take back all of the things he told Mrs. Gold about his mother. He lied and told her that all the stories about his mother beating him and mistreating him were untrue and that he really was a bad child. As much as Mrs. Gold tried to reassure him David continued to lie and yell at Mrs. Gold. "David, you have to understand that in a person’s life there are a few precious moments in which decisions, choices that you make now, will effect you for the rest of your life" (57). This explains the ethical dilemma that David was put in. Although he wanted to free himself from the pain of his mother he also did not want to hurt his family. He felt ashamed for letting everyone know "the family secret”. David shows extreme selflessness when making his decision to lie to his social worker. According to moral of the story, selflessness is defined as concern for the interests of others. Extreme selflessness is when a person is solely concerned for the

Once attending college, the man is betrayed by his professor, Dr. Bledsoe. “‘Tell anyone you like,’ he said. ‘I don’t care. I wouldn’t raise my little finger to stop you because I do not owe anyone a thing, son’”(Ellison 153). In the same way, Dr. Bledsoe creates betrayal because the narrator looks up to him and the professor wants nothing to do with the narrator. Moreover, he a gets in predicament at well known bar called Golden days, which lead Dr. Bledsoe to ask the man to leave the college. Evermore, Dr. Bledsoe grants the narrator the opportunity to attend school by handing the man seven letters of employment recommendations to Harlem. Besides, this act of kindness from Bledsoe is just to appease the narrator from returning to the college. Additionally, Dr. Bledsoe presents, “A former student of ours (I say former because he shall never, under any circumstances, be enrolled as a student here again) who has been expelled for a most serious defection from our strictest rules of deportment” (Ellison 168). Ironically, the principal Mr. Norton promises not to dislodge the man from the school, but this was just so the narrator would return to the school to prove that nobody would speak up on his behalf. Essentially, Dr. Bledsoe gives the narrator the impression that he has a future at Harlom and the all-black college, but to no prevail because of the betrayal of Bledsoe.

In the riveting documentary Audrie & Daisy, husband and wife director team Bonnie Cohen and Jon Shenk retrace the events leading up to the harrowing sexual assaults of three teenage girls; Audrie Pott, Daisy Coleman, and Paige Parkhurst, and expose the agonizing after effects and exploitation of the assaults. Subsequent interviews with family members, friends and law enforcement officials give important details about the aftermath of the events, and introduce viewers to possibly the biggest villain of all, Sherriff Darren White of Maryville, Missouri. Throughout the documentary White appears smug when he states that “as County Sheriff, “the buck stops here” (Darren White), and when asked about the crimes committed by Maryville’s football star, he rebuts with “was there a crime?” (Darren White). As the film moves through the twists and turns of the cases, the settings, conflicts, and tragedies are enhanced by the use of montage, long and subjective shots, close-ups and personal sketches that submerge the audience into the victim’s point of view. At the conclusion of the film, the viewer is left to decide what constitutes sexual assault and rape, and if society and law enforcement are to blame for today’s ‘rape culture’ acceptance and the continued victimization of young girls. It also reveals how much can be hidden from parents, and how disconnected they can become from their children in a social media world.

Some people believe that each step steps on the way of life is predetermined through the beginning to the end, and people are powerless to resist it. The main character who is the narrator of the short novel, “A Woman Like Me” by Xi Xi, is trying to convey to us the same concept which is called the fate. She has been an orphan since she was very young, and she and her brother were raised by her Aunt Yifen. Her aunt has so much pressure that she pays less attention on their education, so when the narrator grows up, she lets her inherit their familial skill which is making up for dead. All of these elements lead her life into a miserable fate. From the psychological description of herself, I found that in the depth of her heart, she

Fate or Freewill is something we deal with in every aspect of our lives, but when it comes to love and relationships, is it fate that brings us together? Or is it Freewill? I interviewed three people asking seven different questions to get their opinion on love and relationships.The main focus of my questions were learning to know and to love the other person, going into the future and past to break down the relationship, and how sharing can affect something much bigger. When it comes to love is it a magical force called fate that brings people together or is it our own choices in finding our one and only?

I say, fate for me can be described as the divine backstory and possibly the cause for where I am in my life at a particular time or moment. It seems fate is often believed to be a reason why something very good or very bad has happened. Fate may be what guided me me to Glendale College and not Pasadena City College. I suspect however that I was destined to be in an English class at some point due to my interest in words and writing. Fate cannot be strategically positioned. Destiny can be at the least shaped by your likes, dislikes and natural talents that you are born with and the opportunity you have or may not have to realize them. Given the right timing, freedom and ability to recognize what you are meant to do or be will allow you to have

In the writings of the Greeks, fate has constantly performed an essential duty. Truth be told, in nearly all Greek writing fate has remained the one consistent crisis that each of the central characters are compelled to challenge. In Homer 's Iliad, fate constantly appears to be hiding around the bend, sitting tight for its next prey to meet his or her predetermined course, which is at last demise. Indeed, still the divine beings are unfit to halt or mediate over the span of fate. However, in spite of the calamity and anguish that fate serves, it also appears that free will in the Iliad is not obsolete. Choices are carried out, when confronted with destiny, and despite the fact that the result at last might be identical it brings up the

This moment is very important in the narrative, as it shows Okonkwo’s determination to rise up and become prosperous ultimately comes from his fear of confronting fate. A paradox occurs as Okonkwo, a man of natural will, is compromising his well-being and true self in order to fight fate.
