Expression, interrogation, and transformation of globalization can be examined through looking at the narratives of Julius in Open City and Michael in The Cat’s Table. The amount of issues that are relevant on a global scale, such as war, nationality, immigration, and who is in power, show how crucial recognizing globalization in it’s entirety is; understanding how it will affect transnational people is even more crucial. If we, as a global network, neglect to address the imbalances regarding the effect of globalization on transnational and non-transnational people, we will face even more issues than we already have that will impact not just some, but everyone. What comes next with our globalized world is up to us, and is

Pieces of literature show how certain individuals or groups fought to receive rights or freedom and to express themselves. Speeches empowered others to believe what was said and to support them to not want to back down until their goal was achieved.

  • Morality In The White Tiger

    1674 Words  | 7 Pages

    Standards of morality are often complex as morality is determined by different social aspects. In The White Tiger written by Aravind Adiga, it’s difficult to judge whether the protagonist Balram’s murder of his master, Mr. Ashok, is either completely moral or immoral, because there are so many circumstances surrounding Balram’s actions. Sacrificing his family’s lives and renouncing all the things that Mr. Ashok has done for him, Balram’s murder of his employer would be considered immoral according to social standard. However, from Balram’s perspective, the murder is necessary and moral since he greatly longs to be “a man” and uses the money that he steals from his master for good purposes. Indeed, the theme of morality plays an essential role in The White Tiger; the complexity of morality is shown through Balram’s murder, which is immoral from society’s view, but moral at the same time in Balram’s situation because it can help him to have a better life and use his master’s money for the common good.
