Ordinary People Essay Reading the title of this book I assume the novel is going to be about ordinary people. Well I am wrong. It’s about the struggles people go through in their life. Weather that be personal, mental or physical struggles. Everyone goes through them. Not everyone copes with them the same way. Most struggle to positively cope with there emotions. As I was reading this novel in class everyday chapter by chapter I noticed one character. He really stood out to me,

Which I am too, I have 2 older sisters. His brother dies in a sailing accident leaving him feeling guilty of his death. With him feeling guilty he goes into a deep depression and tries to kill himself. I suffer from manic depression which means I go through depression a lot l. Little things trigger it, sometimes my depressions last for months. My longest and worst depression that I've been through was during my sophomore year of high school. It lasted a couple months. I had suicidal thoughts but I never actually attempted suicide. One of my close family friends attempted suicide and succeeded. She took her life by jumping in front of a train. It was real tough for my whole family to hear that and cope with that because of how close we were with her and her family. I grew up with her, she was like a sister to me.”You cannot afford to miss any signs, because that is how it happens: somebody holding too much inside, somebody else missing signs.” So I put guilt on myself for not reaching out to her and talking to her, helping her through whatever she was going through. It was hard to understand that she was going through something so bad that she killed herself. It just blows my mind that nobody reached out to her and stopped her from doing that. That's where I start to feel guilty cause I should of been that person. I know what it feels like to be depressed and have those thoughts, I should've helped …show more content…
That's how I am. I try to keep busy and distract my mind from wandering to things I don't want it too. I do that by sleeping. I sleep a ton. I also binge watch tv. I like to binge watch Netflix Tv shows. I've watch all 12 seasons of grey's anatomy twice. It took me a couple months but that's when I was in my worst depression sophomore year. I slept a lot and missed a ton of school. I didn't want to deal with anything so I'd take anti depressants to help clear my mind. That just made it worse. I went into an even low depression than before. So from that I learned to deal with my emotions naturally, and to actually think about them and not let them overcome me and my feelings/ actions. So I think I can relate to Conrad jarrett the most in the novel ordinary people by Judith guest. Hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi

I find the theme in this book to be something that an anyday person or child would experience in a day or much longer piece of time. Any person can experience times of confusion and emotional instability, but if that person sticks it out; they will find an answer to their problems or they will answer answer it for themselves. This pertains to a lifelong conflict, but it does not just pertain to that. It relates to a situation in a day, week, or even, an

It brings you into my life, who I am. It’s a reminder to myself that it’s okay to be vulnerable over the course of the next 80 pages. For a long time I think I had a difficult time opening up to people, and opening up in my work. I would write about things that didn’t necessarily have to do with my life directly. What I wanted for this book was to be personal.
three subjects that are going to be discussed are sex slaves, health disparities in LGBT
The Industrial Revolution consisted of scientific innovations, a vast increase in industrial production, and a rapid growth of urban populations which consequently shaped a new social structure in the European continent. Initially in the late eighteenth century, the new industrialization period produced dominant bourgeoisie employers and a united men, women, and children workers. The continued increase of factories coupled with a need for employees made the Proletariats within a short period of time a large, underprivileged, hungry, and desperate for money. Meanwhile, their bourgeoisie employers grew authoritative and wealthy as production and profit soared. Despite the common ties between proletariat workers upon the outbreak of the

Ordinary Men is the disconcerting examination of how a typical unit of middle-aged reserve policemen became active participants in the slaughter of tens of thousands of Polish Jews.
Christopher R. Browning’s “Ordinary Men” chronicles the rise and fall of the Reserve Police Battalion 101. The battalion was one of several units that took part in the Final Solution to the Jewish Question while in Poland. The men of Reserve Police Battalion 101, and other units were comprised of ordinary men, from ordinary backgrounds living under the Third Reich. Browning’s premise for the book is very unique, instead of focusing on number of victims, it examines the mindset of how ordinary men, became cold-hearted killers under Nazi Germany during World War II. Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men” presents a very strong case that the men who made up the Reserve Police Battalion 101 were indeed ordinary men from ordinary background, and
Christopher Browning describes how the Reserve Police Battalion 101, like the rest of German society, was immersed in a flood of racist and anti-Semitic propaganda. Browning describes how the Order Police provided indoctrination both in basic training and as an ongoing practice within each unit. Many of the members were not prepared for the killing of Jews. The author examines the reasons some of the police members did not shoot. The physiological effect of isolation, rejection, and ostracism is examined in the context of being assigned to a foreign land with a hostile population. The contradictions imposed by the demands of conscience on the one hand and the norms of the battalion on the other are discussed. Ordinary Men

Oppression signifies an authority over another group, disengaging that particular group from the rest of society. “The term oppression encapsulates the fusion of institutional and systemic discrimination, personal bias, bigotry, and social prejudice in a complex web of relationships and structures that shade most aspects of life in our society” (Bell, 1997). In one way or another every individual experiences some form of oppression, whether it be through race, sex, gender, religion, age, wealth and/or sexual orientation. These cultural minorities experience inequality where a dominant culture casts its authority and power through exercises of unjust and cruel methods; these methods have been experienced through the Women’s Movement, the
One central and important study of sociology is the study of everyday social life. Everyday life and sociology are definitely two distinct terms and situations, but they hold a close relationship. While sociology studies human interaction, everyday life consists of everyday human interaction. Everyday life is filled by human beings interacting with one another, institutions, ideas, and emotions. Sociology studies the interactions with all of these and shows how mere interaction resulted in things like ideas and institutions.
American factories can comprise of about up to 1000 workers. If American factories are shut down and moved to other countries, this takes many American people out of work. Companies are now also importing jobs. This is where employers hire people such as immigrants to work less than minimum wage. For that reason, many Americans are stuck with the other minimum wage, and low-paying jobs that barely get them through life. Because of this, many Americans are working full time jobs that are below the Federal poverty line. These types of people are often called the “working poor”. Due to this the working poor have to run to welfare. This affects all Americans because taxpayers are the ones paying for welfare. The more jobs that are taken
