When Claire visits the Gullen, she offers a substantial amount of money to the town—but only on the condition that the town amends its past failure by putting Ill to death. Claire considers Ill’s death to be "justice". As the play progresses, Claire's statement that everything, including justice, can be bought becomes evident (Durrenmatt

High school has been my most treasurable experience so far; a time where I have learnt about a range of topics and developed the skills to view things from a personal perspective. For this, I owe a great thanks to all my English teachers; especially Mrs Hinds, who is here with us today and Mrs Lyndon, who helped prepare us for our final stretch of school. While preparing for this speech, when I read the assessments from the past two years, it surprised me to realise how much I had missed the point

Friend speech (sukhwinder) Hi everyone and welcome! I am honoured to be giving this birthday toast to my closest friend – Gurmeet! I am so grateful to have such a great friend in my life! We met in School, one of the toughest years for any adolescent. Ina time where stress is high we bonded and became lifelong friends.

explore the ways in which values are manipulated, and imposed upon the people, to fuel political motives and achieve public conformity/ultimate control. In a dramatisation of man’s corruption, Miller represents political motivations as a surrendering of moral and legal justice to fulfil personal agendas. He criticises the political powers of the McCarthy Era when the widespread fear of the communism witch-hunt arose.

Willful blindness is ignorance of injustice which is happening in our society. Willful blindness can be seen in our community

For my fairy tale I chose the Disney film Mulan. I chose Mulan because it is an entertaining movie that delivers a good moral lesson. Mulan has your classic characters, the hero, the evil villain, but Mulan also pays homage and respect to the sacred spirits of her people. In this paper I will discuss Mulan’s story of courage, prayer, and determination. I will cover some important symbolism, imagery, and messages found within the film.

Those often that hold roles with great responsibility are ones we revere with great fervor, from doctors and priests to public figures heads and teachers. We instantly hold these

nothing to promote his ambitions, even if that means compromising his ethics. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it is evident that Macbeth’s ambition of being king overrides his morality. However, some scholars are under the impression that Macbeth has no moral compass. Macbeth is amoral and, therefore, there is nothing to override. Howard Felperin, a Ph.
