Moral compass

in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society”. Yet, as humans, we all too often forget our own histories, sacrificing morality in order to walk the precarious path towards scientific progress. In Oryx and Crake, written by Margaret Atwood, corporations are elevated to a status that transcends governance, in an ever increasing search of profit. In the process, the younger generation is scarred, forcing them to grow up in a society that does not value morals. Through placing the importance

Every day, we are faced with decisions that challenge our moral values. Having a straight needle on an individual’s moral compass is always one of the best things that they can have. It teaches them right from wrong, and tells them when they have to interfere and do the right thing. This summer, the theme of this project was to ‘do the right thing’, and I was required to read two books. I chose to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, as well as Going Bovine by Libba

‘Lord of The Flies’ by William Golding. Golding successfully invokes the reader to think about a theme of moral significance. Golding uses the novel to portray how a group of boys stranded on a tropical island with no adults can descend into savagery. The novel also explores the cruelty of human nature and the acts they can commit. In the beginning of the novel, Golding introduces the sense of moral significance through the boys’ connection to the adult world. When Jack, Ralph and the rest are on the

He, unlike other writers, does not see morals as the major cause of cheating, although he does not discount the fact that they do play a part. Staples, while talking to a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was told, "The big sleeping dog here is not the moral issue.

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. I will also identify good and evil characters in the film and

of Wrath, Tom Joad exemplifies the ideal human conscience and mentality through his choices and subsequent actions. His animosity towards injustice, willingness to give second chances, moral views of taking another human life, and clear conscience are indications of Tom’s practical judgment and attuned moral compass. Even as Tom endures unimaginable circumstances, he transforms his wrath into a fight for justice, an understanding of others, and a new outlook on his own transgressions. Tom’s clear

Although The Golden Compass mostly follows the stages of the Hero’s Journey pattern, there are also certain instances in which it deviates from that pattern. Additionally, some of the stages are repeated or occur in a different sequence. For example, the stage labeled ‘Crossing the Threshold’ appears to take place twice, each time marking a significant moment of progress for the Lyra, the protagonist.

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
