Victim Vs Creator Analysis

The article, The myth of Justice, by Michael Dorris is intriguing and insightful because he provides his stance on justice and how he thinks we have come to the point of thinking life is supposed to be fair. He believes that justice is something that isn’t achievable. He even goes a step farther and says in his thesis that “justice is one of those palliative myths...” and that it isn’t even something that exists. It’s just something that we, as a human race, have developed and created over time. His thoughts are really intriguing because he has a point and he backs it up with things most people could probably relate too. However, I noticed that he never discussed when we actually think justice is achieved or gained. This has led me to disagree with his thought that justice is only a myth and it can’t be achieved.

When I think of the creator verses victim dilemma, I think which one I want to be. Do I want to prosper and advance, or do I want to decline and linger? A creator is a person who thinks of different ways to be prosperous in life, or even in something as minuscule as a project. A creator looks for extra avenues to make sure the job gets done successfully, and as accurately as possible. When creators fail, they determine what could have been done better, and how can they help themselves, or their group succeed. Creators set life goals because they are able to embrace change including the acceptance of responsibility for failure along the way. A victim is a person who blames others to get out of situations and seeks out a scapegoat instead of

Americans sure eat plenty of fast foods, maybe too good that it is affecting their health. Who’s really to blame with all these fast foods at every corner? The average american can consume up to 2,500 pounds of food each year. At least one of their meals per day will be at a fast food restaurant too. This is causing many americans to be obese, from all the carbs, added sugars, unhealthy fat, and extra sodium added. Fast food can’t only affect a person physically, but it can affect a person mentally as well. The sad thing is that so many people lack on their education on health that many won't even know that they're damaging their body, the people must know the limit. Americans health is at risk and fast food is to blame, people need to be more aware of what they're putting into their bodies, and also be encouraged to do more physical activities.

1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime (safehorizon.org). Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. I am that 1 of 4 woman who have experienced an abusive relationship. I was always asked why I didn’t leave or why I didn’t say something, instead of my abuser being asked why. Women are always asked why didn’t you leave, why did this happen, or why didn’t you say something. This can also be called victim blaming. Most of society thinks focusing on the victims of an abusive

The experience I had as a member of a group in which someone became a scapegoat involves a situation in which I was a scapegoat. This situation occurred last year, September of 2015, not long after starting to take classes at Teachers College. The class in which this incident occurred was Fundamentals of Cooperation, Conflict Resolution, and Mediation in Different Institutional Contexts. I was assigned to a group at the time by the professor of the class. I will speak in third person regarding this incident.

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein dreamed for months about creating life and conquering death for the fame and gratification he would receive. He then spent years trying different experiments while going for his one goal - bringing life to a creation he stitched together from different, “perfect” body parts he found from the local graveyard. Once his creation was brought to life, Frankenstein was disgusted by his creation’s stature and grotesque appearance. In complete shock and revulsion, Frankenstein ran away from his laboratory and, “did not dare to return to the apartment which [he] inhabited” (Shelley 52). Having been abandoned by the only thing he knew, the monster’s very first

In the textbook it explains victim and creator the difference between the two?? is explained as such, victim is when you focus on the things that will bring us down. For example in school when you have a test even though you studied for some reason you downgrade that you will not do well do good at all. Bring that self-negative you know you will fail somehow or another. Creator is making plans for the future, setting yourself goals to accomplish things you know you want to be set on in the future. For example I would like to get a master in Catholicism then later a doctorate degree. Also you can be an inner critic, which is blaming yourself for things you know you can do better on. Second you can inner defended saying positive things to yourself

Responsibility is the stem of a flower. Culpability is the platform for a successful and a fantastic life because people are able to experience growth when owning up to their actions. It is important to take responsibility for your actions because it can make you more reliable, make you mature, and improve someone's day.

(12/10/01 at 8:55 p.m ) The lights were flashing, and coins were coming out of the machines. Barbee Williams was with her friends and they were drinking and partying, until all of a sudden this guy showed up. His name was Derrick Rath, he was 5’8”, has brown eyes like the desert, and he has spiky hair. Derick was talking to Barbee and they decided to go back to his place. They were walking to his car, but then suddenly BOOM! BOOM! Barbee got captured and Derrick was taped, tied up, and dazed. Then 5 minutes later,“ 911! What is the address of your emergency?” said the operator.

Rape is a very overlooked problem in the United States. Victims of a sexual assault have an increased chance for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and many other mental illnesses. Statistics show that victims are twenty-six times likely to abuse drugs and thirteen more times likely to abuse alcohol. So why do people blame the victim? Sadly these are reasons because of ignorance and power. Many argue that the victims ask for it or the victim did not make it clear enough that they did not want any sexual contact. Sexual assault is the only crime where the victim has to fight for their

For the week of Monday, November 9th, our class was given two readings: Chapter 6 of Sociology Now entitled “Deviance and Crime” and the article “The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison. The Deviance and Crime chapter in the textbook analyzes/answers the questions that sociologist have about crime and deviance which are: what do we think about crime?, what can be considered a crime?, what crimes should be punished, and what are the punishments?. It first talks about deviance, what it is, and the different rules that society has established for behavior such as taboos and mores. This part of the chapter also introduces the differential association theory that suggests that deviance is a matter of rewards and punishments within classes/groups.

Oppression is the driving force behind the violence in Israel. It is based on a land dispute that led to oppression and now the violence seen today. Israel is plagued with a cycle of violence and fear. There are many factors behind the climate of terror that is taking place in Israel, but none as significant as oppression. The establishment of Israel by Jews led to many changes for Palestinian Arabs, who were already living in the area. Many of these changes were oppressive and intrusive to the Palestinian Arabs’ way of life. As can be expected, wherever there is oppression, violence and fear normally follow. Both sides have suffered losses amidst this violence. Jews claim they fled to Palestine to avoid persecution and that establishing Israel as a Jewish state would be the only way to ensure their safety. Yet their safety, and now the safety of Palestinian Arabs, are both unsure.

Victims, unlike creators who unremittingly ponder alternatives which lead in the upshot they wish, attempt to find blame for negative, unpleasant situations and obstacles that occur in their lives. Some people become victims in their environment when rather than by accepting personal responsibility, gaining self-awareness and believing in themselves, they accept the victim role of trusting that outer forces decide the outcomes and experiences of their lives. Referring to victims, On Course states, “make decisions carelessly, letting the future happen by chance rather than by choice” (22). Victims do not have strategies, no visualization of the life they want, and no motivation to design the future they desire. Creators seeks ways to remain motivated, adapts to situations and they try to prevent the situation from occurring again. Creators control the route that they want their life to end up being on; they do not allow life to control them or their future.

One of my personal injustice moments was when a white male was yelling at two innocent muslim women. The women were minding their buisness waiting in line to purchase some items. I was waiting in line and i hear a mans voice screaming at somebody. I turn around to see a man yelling at these two women for nothing. The man started to call them nasty racist words. He started talking about events that had to do with terrorism. All i could see was the fear in the womens eyes, one women latched onto her friends arm for the feeling of protection and comfort. I myself was as confused and shocked as other people in the store. Somebody in the crowd decided to stand up for the women and started to talk about freedom and how the man should never talk

This essay will argue and reflect on the issues and perceptions of the Stolen Generation as well as justifying why this part of Australian history had occurred during 1905 – 1969. It will also argue the issue of whether the government should have taken the Indigenous children away from their families better known now as the “Stolen Generation”. Unfortunately, past actions caused by the government are now seen as wrong and today still remain to have profound repercussions for all Aboriginal people. This issue is significant as Indigenous communities and their families are suffering or have feelings of neglect due to the Government’s former actions and policies of child removal. The most distressing occurrence seen since the white settlement
