Pros And Cons Of Leaving Omelas

I am going home to be with my wife and daughter because I can't sit around and watch men die. I am ready scarred for life, and I can't bare to see any more death. The living conditions are horrible, and if I stay, I might have permanent eye and skin damage. Which can cause problems in my later life. plus, I just can't afford to lose a limb, because it will affect the rest of my life. I know some men are staying because they want freedom, and I want freedom to, but I don't think I can risk losing my life. For all of those reasons, I am going home to be with my wife and

My first reason, I want to stay is because some soldiers survived the smallpox disease. Most soldiers survived because George Washington used a soldier that was infected by the disease and put inside a healthy soldier. After a couple of days that the

Part of being an effective community advocate and a leader was listening to the needs of the population I was serving and providing them with the resources necessary to facilitate the transition into a new country and life. I dedicated time to interview each unaccompanied minor in order to learn about their reasons for migration, most included stories of violence, war, and abuse. The stories I recorded and the research I conducted into each child’s case was used to determine eligibility for services and legal representation. In addition, after becoming aware of the difficulty many of these children experienced in learning English at their new schools, I took the initiative to lead weekly English classes for recently arrived

(picture of a syrian child) This is a picture of a Syrian boy. Nobody knows his name, but he is a child refugee trying to get out of Syria to find a better place to live. As of today, there are 28 million of children like this boy who are refugees according to UN. They don’t have access to clean water, nutrition, vaccinations and education. They are the world’s most vulnerable children, but certainly like every single child in America, they too deserve an opportunity to have a better future, and all of you here have the opportunity to help these children.

In Ursula K. Le Guin’s writing on ‘The ones Who Walk Away From Omelas’ explains how the little child had been isolated from the people of the town while Nathaniel Hawthorne through ‘Young Goodman Brown’ illustrates Goodman Brown reactions as a result of the Devil’s actions which made him feel depressed by his own family’s actions. Been isolated from the outside world or from the truth has led to one profiting from the unruly act that is alienation. Alienation is the drastic difference between someone experiencing something that socially benefits others and someone who does not because of lack of common values or sheer discernment. Ursula K. Le Guin in her writing explores this aspect of alienation, discernment by the community members of Omelas towards the child whereas Nathaniel Hawthorne, shows how someone can benefit from alienation, in this case; the devil knew Goodman Brown was naïve about his family’s history which he was alienated from, therefore took the advantage to show him their true evil ways of living.

The issue of homelessness and beggars has been a problem within many countries for hundreds of years. There has been countless proposals and methods for dealing with and solving this matter, but it never works entirely. Some countries have come up with multiple ways to help them with governmental assistance, private organizations, churches or even support groups. However, to see a drastic change in homelessness or any issue, requires a drastic change in the way that is handled. In today’s society, when a child is born unto parents who cannot support them, the Child Protection Services will likely take them to an orphanage where they will in hopes have a better future. However, there are some in other time periods who would suggest something

These children will grow to become illiterate adults; with “no knowledge of their past or hope for the future” all they’ll live for is an “eternal present” filled with poverty, suffering, and misery. In the future these are the individuals who’ll seek out government assistance, with a false belief that they are incapable of succeeding on their own.

The ones who walk away from Omelas believe in equality and fairness among their city. They believe that it is not fair for the citizens to act like they are living a perfect life when they know there is someone that has been suffering, trapped in a room with no human contact for what seems like a countless number of years. When they decide to walk away from Omelas, it is not because they are acting cowardly or trying to avoid helping the young child. These people make this decision to help themselves. Those outcasts who walk away not knowing where they are going are humans that cannot accept the fact that they have been so happy while another person in their same city is miserable.

In most extreme cases, these children are denied their basic rights. We can’t just sit back and do nothing I urge you to help in our own ways to reduce poverty. There are many ways to help such as campaigns, donations and charity help and provide support for families and children living in

First of all, I would like to appreciate you for all the help you have been offering to refugees here in Charlotte. Being one of your clients help me notice that all you say and do is dominated on work and income, but I think you should try to encouraging the young ones to attend school to have a better future which they came for. I would be good if you would start practicing it. It is not something difficult or time consuming, all you have to do is tell them the importance of education and letting them know that they can’t live their whole life working under a minimum wage.

Some of these children immigrated to the United States for political or religious reasons, while others – like Ushab – were granted asylum so they could escape the refugee camps. Though they were only eight years old, these children have faced more change and tragedy than I hope to encounter in my entire lifetime. Each day that I spent with these kids, I was able to contribute something that improved their lives, and each day, they contributed something that improved mine.

The people in Omela all know it has to be there, their happiness depends on it. It is a young boy or girl around the age of ten, it is feeble minded. The young child is locked in the basement of a house in Omela and is neglected. Every so often, someone peers in on the young child with frightened and disgusted eyes. “If the child were brought up into the sunlight out of that vile place… that would be a good thing indeed, but if it were to be done, in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed,” (Le Guin, 4).

When the government and these kids’ families fail to provide them with the necessities to survive in a way full of dignity, they are forced to go out to search for their sustainment anyway possible. But who can assure us that these kids will find the correct way out of their situation? To make sure they are on the right path, we must support and hold up right all nonprofit organizations designated to help kids living on the streets, kids who are living with no supervision and no one to provide for them. An example of these nonprofit organizations is Casita de Nazareth founded by Father Yepez. “It all began with a very few kids 28 years ago, who simply wandered around the streets of La Piedad at night. Some of them roamed around our church, that’s when I decided we could do something about these kids. Michoacan is known for the drug business, hitmen, cartels etc. A lot of the people who are a part of these associations, are people who grew up on the streets; we can make a change.” As Father Yepez explained, this organization serves kids from La Piedad, Michoacan who are alone with a high risk to get recruited by a drug

Faced with crime, poverty, and trauma daily, without intervention these children will, or already have fallen through the cracks. These children are entitled to be protected from degrading treatment, discrimination, and suffering. They have a right to good education, And a right to housing, clothing, food and a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family. And deserve access to medical care and necessary social services (United Nations, 2014).

Individuals of all ages have been forced to work in terrible conditions or participate in activities against their will. These individuals have been robbed many opportunities such as an education, a family, a career, property, and even health.
