compared to Gawain from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. It may seem unlikely, as the former was written in 1921 and the latter in the fourteenth century. The essay by Heywood Broun was written in opposition to World War I, while also disapproving of paternalism and New England prep schools. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an Arthurian tale that is centuries old. Nevertheless, the two have parallel ideas and The Fifty-First Dragon is significant in its critique of World War I.

However, Tyson’s accounts of racism in Oxford, North Carolina also add a sense of reality and familiarity to the much broader examples. Tyson uses examples of the color line, paternalism, and the normalization of racism to reveal the different ways that racism has manifested in American society. In Blood Done Sign My Name, Tyson explores the dynamics of the color line and how it affected and was affected by the people in his community

Within their paper, Childress and Siegler expand upon five models of physician-patient relationships that are omnipresent within the healthcare setting: Paternalism, Partnership, Friendship, Contract, and Technical Assistance (Childress and Siegler 74). By using these models, physicians often use these social frameworks to “appeal to ethical principles related to informed consent or shared decision-making or, at a deeper level, [the] goal of respecting patient autonomy” (Schwartz 2011). While the

Thus, patient’s involvement in decision-making is essential, and his/her autonomy should be considered first during the decision-making process.

The World the Slaves Made (1974). Genovese’s ideas regarding paternalism and precapitalism in the South shaped the traditional historical narrative until 1999 with the publication of Walter Johnson’s Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market. This book resurrected the conversation about the brutal nature of slavery and directly challenged Genovese by arguing against his ideas of a distinctive South, slave agency, paternalism, and precapitalism.

Racism was a large problem during Griffin’s time and is still a problem in society today. Extreme racism was seen in

This historical analysis will define the argument put forth by James Oakes (1998) about the misguided view of slavery as a “paternalistic” system of economics in the Old South. The paternalistic/honorific view of slavery is incorrect because of the underlying system of capitalism, which allowed slaveholders to exploit, commercialize, and commoditize slaves for profit. More so, Oakes (1998) shows how the industrial Northern was simply a different form of capitalism that often cooperated with the agrarian
