Prometheus Suffering

“…We must always honor the wishes of others before our own. We will make the way smooth by restraining emotion . . . To try to meet one’s own needs in spite of the wishes of others is to be “wagamama”—selfish and inconsiderate . . . It is such a tangle trying to decipher the needs and intents of others…”

The leaders of Prometheus’ past community only enforced their ways of control and order, never truly caring for all of the brothers as they often described was the goal of their system. The leaders of the community were corrupt and only seeking their own benefit, which Prometheus saw in his opinion of the society and used to reinforce his view of the good of his actions. Corrupt leaders call for rebellion, as seen many

When I think of asking someone else for assistance I usually feel confident that they will help.

Fifteen years ago, Tyson Wisham was born and raised in Nevada with his “loud, crazy, partyish” family. His over four-hundred relative family has given him a life full of excitement whenever they’re together. Tyson has over fifty first cousins on just his mom’s side. “Growing up with a large family has always been fun and exciting even when they’re really annoying!”

     “I think. I am. I will.” A quote by Ayn Rand that is similar to Rene Descartes quote, “I think therefore I am.” This quote tells society that Prometheus can do anything by himself. He does not need the “we” of society to complete a task. Prometheus can think independently and wants to express himself as one individual. “I will,” illustrates that he will and can do anything. Prometheus believes, just as Rene Descartes does, that if he can think by himself, he is able to live by himself. As he is alone he is thinking by himself, therefore he is alive and able to express himself as he truly is.

For example, in Mr. Saeed’s said in the Interview with Muhammad Saeed that, “if the situation is too hard for you to handle than always ask for help because there will always be a person or people who can help you” (Saeed). At first, I too felt as if I was the only one who can’t handle such situations but it’s a very common problem. I am very grateful that I attempted to open up and have such great parents to support me in order for me to

In order to get a better understanding of what is needed in the present time, we must first learn and understand how and why people of the western culture helped others through human

In the world, it is so easy to walk past an individual that is in distress without even knowing that there is something wrong. People notice something and expect the individual in front of or behind them to assist the distressed, and it happens more than often. For example, driving past an individual that is stranded on the side of the road is so simple. It is much easier to drive past than assist, especially when driving on a city street. Many people think about helping, and want to help, but they just do not.

Peter Paul Rubens’ painting, Prometheus Bound, is a large oil painting on canvas currently on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The painting is approximately sized at eight by seven feet and portrays the Greek Titan Prometheus chained to a cliff as his liver is eaten by an eagle. Rubens captures and allows the viewer to experience the most dramatic and gruesome moment of the myth, when the majestic bird attacks the Titan, by implementing the tenebrism technique, a unique composition and perspective, and symbolism.

In the play Prometheus Bound, the gods are directly involved as characters and are portrayed as extremely stubborn. Prometheus, a titan and god of foresight, is being punished for aiding the humans who Zeus would like to replace with a new master race. As a relatively new leader of the gods, Zeus has the power to punish Prometheus in anyway he wants even though Prometheus is a god himself. Zeus decides to bind Prometheus to a rock, hence the name Prometheus Bound. There are many instances where Zeus is proven to be stubborn and cold shouldered towards everyone, regardless of their standing. When talking to

In everyday life people experience difficulties and problems that they feel they are not able to deal with on their own and need help with. The help that people receive to overcome their problems can be in many different forms. People may receive help in an informal way, such as having a chat to a close friend or relative, who can offer support and advice or they may seek help in a more formal capacity from various helping professionals, such as counsellors, social workers, psychiatrists, doctors, etc. For all of these professionals it is their

We cannot know everything, and we can all benefit from mutual helping relationships. I may need someone to explain something discussed in Psychology class today and that person may need the favor returned for English. Working together and helping others is important in almost every area of life. I do not need to feel ashamed for reaching out first.

Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) job industries are clearly a minority group as opposed to males. And each of these statistics above has been used to analyze and raise awareness about the discrepancy between genders within STEM occupations. However, there seems to be lesser research on the education system that feeds into these work opportunities. It is vital to note that the disadvantage for women in STEM starts well before they enter the workforce; it starts when females are young, and still within the educational system. Additionally, the disparity between males and females in STEM extends much further than the educational system, into popular culture. Young girls and women, growing up in a society that

Kelly Gissendaner was executed March 7th 2015 at 7 p.m. (Eastern Time). She was sentenced to death for the planning of her husband’s death in 1997 (“Georgia”). Gissendaner’s boyfriend joined in the murder of her husband. Her execution denoted the first time Georgia has executed a woman in over seventy years. According to Simpson, “The death penalty is punishment of execution, administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime” (Oxford Dictionaries). Since the early days of human civilization, the death penalty has been around. Individuals and associations have been deciding on this theme for just as long; there are two difficult decisions on the inquiry. The first
