Seeking redemption is not always easy, but hard work, time, and effort will assure that redemption is achieved. During Paul Haggis’ drama film Crash, there were several scenes that showed racial tension and redemption in a Los Angeles neighborhood. It is never easy for someone to redeem forgiveness from someone they have harmed recently, but it is all about the effort one puts to change into a better person they want to be. Even though some may never forgive someone who has done them wrong no matter
can be interpreted in numerous ways. This paper will apply what I have learned about conflict theory to interpret an art piece, The Indestructibles by Philip Evergood. This paper will include a description of the work of art, conflict theory, an explanation of the association between the art piece and conflict theory, followed by a conclusion. The Indestructibles by Philip Evergood is a gloomy and dark art piece. It depicts four men in a small cell. The cell consists of only a small window with
There are people out there who believe they’re indestructible. Children are the ones most convinced of this. Cartoons show characters that come back to life and parents seem like angelic beings that can do no wrong. Being a child is an ignorant bliss. Even though skin is easily scraped, bruised, and tarnished during their early years, they continue on. It isn’t difficult at the time. Some people continue to have this attitude in life. They grow up to become resilient and forceful. They’re the ones
approach of death. This argument can be approached through the discussion involving non-heat as being indestructible. “If the non-hot were of necessity indestructible, then whenever anyone brought heat to snow, the snow would retreat safe and unthawed, for it could not be destroyed, nor again could it stand its ground and admit heat (Phaedo 106A). In addition, “if the non-cold were indestructible, then when some cold attacked the fire, it would be neither quenched nor destroyed, but retreat safely
which it brings along as we agree from what has been said.” (105d-e) 5. “Must then the same not be said of the deathless? If the deathless is also indestructible, it is impossible for the soul to be destroyed when death comes upon it” (105e-106d) 6. “If the deathless is indestructible, then the soul, if it is deathless, would also be indestructible? - Necessarily.” (106e-107a) To understand Plato’s argument, he gives us an interesting theory, his theory of forms. If we take the example of a beautiful
theory that the soul is an entity that exists for an eternity, going through many bodies over the course of a lifetime, making it indestructible. However, this argument faces objections from Cebes, who attempts to argue that while the soul can live many lifetimes, it as well must reach a point where it eventually perishes. Socrates is able to prove that the soul is indestructible with some degree of success, his argument having both strengths and weaknesses. His notion that the soul is immortal has its
Plato 's final argument in Phaedo for the immortality of the soul is one of the most interesting topics of all time. The argument of whether the soul exists has been debated for years and even today. It goes hand to hand with the application of the theory of forms to the question of the soul 's immortality, as Plato constantly reminds us, the theory of forms is the most certain of all his theories. The Phaedo is Plato’s attempt to convince us of the immortality of the soul by using several main arguments
In Plato’s Phaedo, Socrates makes the argument that the soul is immortal. He provides several premises to back up this argument. The first premise is one that his students Cebes and Simmias seem to disagree with and object. This premise is that the soul exists after death. “So we cannot trust this argument and be confident that our soul continues to exist somewhere after out death” (88a). This is the first step upon which Socrates builds his argument. For the next premise, Socrates uses an analogy
immortal and imperishable, and our souls will truly exist in another world (Plato, 1689).” This argument may be the most convincing of his arguments about the afterlife, but the way in which he comes to his conclusion that the soul is immortal and indestructible is flawed, and because of this, I find that Plato’s final argument is not sound and lacking validity. I feel this argument is an unsound deductive argument. In order to show evidence of this, I will examine how Plato reached his conclusion.
