The people can revolt against unfair governments, overthrow them, and start over. If someone who was not appointed to do so takes over and tries to govern the people and make laws, neither the leader nor those laws have to be obeyed.
It is important to choose the right friends, good friends can take you wherever you want to go in life, and the wrong friends can be a disastrous decision. A quote from The Pact sums this up nicely, “Friendship can lift you up, strengthen and empower you, or break you down, weaken and defeat you.” (32) This is why it is so important to surround yourself with positive people, and
An individual 's fate and human rights belong not to the individual but to the Great Leader. How can the right to oppose the absolutism of the Great Leader exist in a society where the highest moral value is dedicating one 's body and soul to the Great Leader? No matter how much the Great Leader and his agents infringe on the people 's human rights, it is considered acts of blameless morality.” (Yop)
"Life without a friend is like death without a witness." -Spanish Proverb. We all have friends, different people have different tastes and temperaments and hence make different types of friends. They tend to bond with some and stay away from some. With time and growing trust, some people get really close to each other and remain true friends. They stand up for each other in times of need and provide full support when you lose confidence in yourself. However, every friend is not the same type. One might have more close friends than acquiantenaces, while others might have more acquaintenaces than close friends, but either way, majority of people that develop great friendships either fall into one of the
Further in about the society in "Anthem," people are to think that they were born with a mind that is incapable of too much information, like if they were naturally born dumb, and for men like Equality 7-2521, they are to believe that they are born with a curse:"the Leaders pointed to us and frowned and said: "There is evil in your bones, Equality 7-2521, for your body has grown beyond the bodies of your brothers." But we cannot change our bones nor our body." Not only are they to believe those lies, but they also must obey the laws given to them by the Palace of the World Council in which I believe are pointless. For examples, they are not allowed to write down their thoughts, or think of thoughts their fellow brothers don't think, or to even speak of themselves. As you can see how strict this society is, this is why I believe no-one has ever gone against the leaders, because they were taught to follow all order and rule.
Helmholtz wants to be in control of his own work and himself even though it's forbidden to express your own thoughts. When talking to Bernard, Helmholtz expresses his thoughts on wanting to be able to do more and to write his own thoughts instead of what the controllers have given him. This shows that Helmholtz is starting to think for himself and breakout of the confinement that the world state has put everyone in. He begins to think that he can do more and that he is capable of doing more. This type of attitude displays his different mindset and thought process is distinct from others and that society will not control the way he thinks. In addition, as a professor, Helmholtz can only teach the material given to him, but decides to think for himself and shares his own work. At the university, Helmholtz teaches his Advanced Emotional Engineering third year students about his own topics and opinions. More importantly, this shows that Helmholtz wants to break free from the ideologies set by society that everyone is happy by teaching his own students the topic of being alone. Relationships and attachments to other people are prohibited in the society, but Helmholtz doesn’t follow this rule. At the hospital, John was creating chaos by throwing away soma and talking about the negative effects of soma. In this situation, a normal person would have called the
Friendship is something that everyone needs at any time. Friendship keeps us closely interacted with our friends, it keeps you popular, keeps you away from loneliness.
In life there are many changes that can cause a true friendship to go wary such as marriage, divorce, birth of children, new careers, and sickness. However, through each of those events the two must remember to keep the intimacy, the letting down of emotional barriers and the expression of innermost thoughts and feelings, “that which makes friendships thrive must be an enjoyable one” and to “always interact” (Karbo 3). Although psychologists continue to research the formation of friendships the great philosopher Aristotle knew exactly how friendships formed and how the lasted.
In “What are friends for?” by Marion Winik, She explains the type of friends that you may encounter throughout your lifetime. Winik explains the benefits of each friend and the impact that they have on your life. There are eight types of friends which are your Buddies, Relative friends, Work friends, Faraway friends, Former friends, Friends you love to hate, Hero friends, and New friend. They all play a role in your life. They make your life exciting. They are the reason why you don’t go totally insane. Friends are there to help you out.
This quote talks about how Bernard is discussing with ford about if he can bring back the Savages, but not because Linda lived in London before but for experiments on John. I chose this quote because I wondered why Bernard would be so cruel to another person, and make someone else's life miserable just so he can benefit from it. I feel like he should understand how it feels to be mistreated and not want that to happen to anyone else. But in my opinion I think he is getting himself and John into a bad situation with the society (100)
It is often affirmed that as the most dominant species on planet earth, human beings essentially rule the way in which our world has evolved; we have cognitive abilities that allow us to explore a multitude of complex variables, utilize logic, formulate a wide range of choices, and act out our decisions. However, even as highly logical creatures, humans have the propensity to be influenced by the choices of others or information presented to them, form groups of like-minded individuals, and participate in behaviors they would likely not have undertaken on their own. This particular behavior has been coined the “mob mentality and under it, people appear to become mindless automatons that lack any ability to act on their own thoughts. While there are perfect examples of mob mentalities doing good, such as the pivotal march on Washington during the Civil rights movement of the 1960’s, to something as simple as the yearly gathering of like-minded individuals at the Burning Man Festival, there are far more insidious examples such as the Holocaust, the Salem Witch trials, and Bacon’s Rebellion. In the realm of human behavior, each of these “events” is representational of what psychology defines as a mob or herd mentality and this group behavior has been an intrinsic quality of human civilizations throughout history. As such, this writer believes that Bacon’s Rebellion is a prime example of the negative implications mob mentalities are capable of generating. However the
Friendship is a key aspect of life. Friends are your support system, who you go to in time of need, and who you share memories with that can last a lifetime. In today’s society, many friendships are broken up because of trust issues or the lack of positivity that may be spread through the group.

Through time I have learned that we desperately want friends because we need somebody that we can talk to and open up to.This is not something few humans do or have, this is what makes us humans. In the essay written by Mr. Pattakos he says “The desire for friendship comes quickly. Friendship does not.”, This quote reminds me of when I was in fourth grade. Me and my friends we had a competition to see who could get the most friends in facebook . I remember the competition started when we saw a couple of the
Friendship is an integral part of the life of any human being. Most people feel the need to have a person who they can communicate with and talk about their challenges at any given time. Friendship is essential in
