314 Words2 Pages

Alternatively, the author uses hypocrisy to confirm her claim by drawing the readers in to see what the actual meaning of what Jim’s colleagues said in the autopsy is. Hypocrisy is about saying or feeling one thing and doing another. In “Humor in Arguments,” the editors clarify the centrality of laughter as either appearing of duplicity to situations. They mention, “Laughter can also expose hypocrisy or break down barriers of prejudice and thereby help people see their world’s differently” (Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz 399).

  • Santa Land Diaries By Critchley Analysis

    228 Words  | 1 Pages

    Critchley says (p. 9) that true humor has to change the situation. By this statement, I believe he meant that true humor allows one to shed light on topics or issues that might have been left in the dark due to pride or fears of expressing them, in an attempt to help release tension or change the situation or environment. True humor can change one’s perceptions of things. An example of true humor was presented in the story “Santa Land Diaries”, when he mentioned a husband sat on Santa’s lap and when asked what he had wanted for Christmas, another men yelled “I want a broad with big tits”. I think this is true humor because it helped to release the tension in others and changed the environment by causing others laugh.

    A hint of truth usually lies within even the most careless of jokes. Even though many modern day humorists may offend some audiences or create controversy, de Botton’s claim of humorists function within society is certainly plausible due to the fact that they hold social responsibility, remain unbiased within the public eye as well as speak for those who would otherwise have no voice. While many people such as the office holders and servers of the community withhold a public duty to society, humorists do as well. While it is all fun and games, the duty of relaying the truth and reality of certain situations relies on these public servants. For instance, a normal person walking down the street may not be able to say that the police irrationally

  • Humor In Charlie Chaplin's Film Modern Times

    1720 Words  | 7 Pages

    One of the most valuable aspects of personality is humor – we value one’s sense of humor and make friends often based on finding certain things funny. But how and why do we consider things to be funny at all? Human beings have strived to uncover fundamental truths about human nature for centuries – even millennia – but humor itself is still yet to be pinpointed. Henri Bergson is only one of many who has attempted this feat, and his essay Laughter: an essay on the meaning of the comic from 1911 breaks down comedy into what he believes to be its essential forms and origins. While Bergson makes many valid points, Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times that was brought to screens only twenty years later seems to contradict many of Bergson’s theories, while Bergson seems to contradict even himself over the course of his essay.
