Embarrassment

In a community with plentiful opportunities for commerce how can poverty be an issue? Poverty can be a reason children go hungry. Poverty can be a reason for senior citizens going without needed medications. With poverty comes many issues. Poverty has become a drain to every population, ethnicity, and culture in the world today. Being poor and being in a state of poverty are often used interchangeably, but are not the same thing. Poor can be situational. One can be too poor to afford the

HURTING THE ONES WE LOVE “Don’t hurt me, brother”(Hurst 433). “The Scarlet Ibis”by James Hurst is about an invalid child named Doodle who when he was born everyone thought that he wouldn't live, yet he did. Doctors told him and his family that he would never be able to walk his brother didn't like this.

Public humiliation has been around for years. It was always a controversial and terrible thing to do to a person. Being outlawed in the states during the 19th century there is a reason why this was banned. Public humiliation destroys a person emotionally. In my experience of public humiliation I posted a fun joke about fictional character being crusty on tumblr (the place where everyone get offended). Finding the joke funny, because who doesn't love a crusty joke, I posted it with no ill intent.

Writing Letters Sometimes good things can come from a bad situation. Reminiscing on occasions that effected my life, some were so minor and some changed my life’s coarse completely. Childhood memories don’t always stick but the ones that do are worth everything. Writing letters to my father changed a lot about the kid I was and who I have become today; it taught me perseverance not to be ashamed and gave me the awareness to work on my writing. When I was ten years old my father was sent to prison

Plot development for my narrative: A Crush on Chaos? Ew No! Exposition: “My nana dropped me and brother off a little ways from our school so that we weren’t sitting in traffic. I went to Coffee Bean with some friends and my brother went who knows where! When we were walking to Walker Junior High School, I saw my brother about to cross the street to go to Kennedy High School. I told my friends that I would be right back. They left and I yelled out to my brother.” That is the part in my narrative

"The immediacy and fast pace of the internet can be magical,” but it can also become a nightmare that ruins a person’s life (Source C “Is the Internet a Mob Without Consequences?”).  The world believes that public humiliation is an effective punishment, but it is overused and ineffective.  Public shaming is a dire term due to its high usage. It dates back to the 1500s. The Puritan society gave their people this type of punishment, as seen in Source A, The Scarlet Letter.  Puritans hoped that the

Stealing a toy from my preschool classroom is the earliest and most shameful memory that I can recall. Every day, my father was in charge of taking me to class since my mother had to leave for work early in the morning. In my classroom, there were always so many wonderful toys spread out for the children to play with. I liked them all, mostly because they weren’t mine, which made them extra special. Also, because we had to share the toys and could never hold onto one for too long, it made them seem

“People don't want other people to get high, because if you get high, you might see the falsity of the fabric of the society we live in.” This quote by Ken Kesey embodies his view of society in the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest. He depicts the modern society through Nurse Ratched, a strong authoritarian figure, that embellishes the nature of society. Nurse Ratched is notorious in her endeavors to control the men and uses her power to regulate the men. In this domain the beams of society

As soon as the judge ruled and sentenced an adult woman to four years and 394 day of jail, many people outside the court were outraged. The adult lady killed a construction worker, while on her way to a party. The thing is she was driving drunk, and due to her drunkenness, she didn’t notice the “construction ahead” signs. As a result, she ran over a construction worker, who after being severely injured, didn’t survive. So you might be thinking that justice was made and that’s the end of it. Well

Women Shaming Women Women are cruel, catty creatures. Women are known to be catty with one another insinuating that this is their natural behaviors and cannot help it. They are also known to be fake, to gossip, and to be sarcastic. Stereotyping is not a good behavior to have and is never true about the entire group of people that it is describing. However, for many women these stereotypes are true. Without the drama, women already have to deal with menstruation, self-image, sometimes children
