A woman’s innocence is coveted, as people go to great lengths to shield them from both the reality of death and the pleasures of sex. The loss of certain kinds of innocence, specifically

evolution of culture is synonymous with the removal of ornament from objects of daily use.” I agree with Adolf Loos, what is natural to someone of a particular culture is a degeneration to the modern man and women. In his essay Ornament and Crime, Loss emphasizes that ornament and decorations are unnecessary in modern society. He also states that is harmful for our economy, a waste of human labor, money and ruined material. I agree with him that ruined material can be used for something much more

Greed and loss in The Necklace and Disabled Greed and Loss are dominant themes in both Disabled and The Necklace.

As a professional, it can be very challenging when dealing with an individual who enters your office with a ball of rage brewing inside of them. From the text, I have realized that the expression of anger is "only a clue" that there are some underlying issues that we need to explore and resolve.
