Jose Saramago's Blindness And The Luxborough Galley

The city was invaded, people were being murdered and sent into exile. The book of Lamentations speaks of the hardships that the people are dealing with through the destruction of the city. The author of Lamentations pleads on behalf of the people who are suffering. “Behold my suffering; my young women and young men have gone into captivity. I called to my lovers but they deceived me; my priests and elders perished in the city while seeking food to revive their strength.

The excitement of escaping death is matched like no other but after all of the dust settles and the excitement wears off, how do these people live with themselves. Both of these groups had made it out but now in the normal lives they will attempt to live, how do they stay sane after what they have seen. The human spirit is an incredible thing and can overcome a lot when in survival situations, but what about after the survival. These men and women were able to eat and kill other humans in what they assumed was near death because of the fear and the anxiety they had felt but now they have to deal with guilt. Even though they were in completely different scenarios, both

The Native Americans had to be relocated to different land, so these Indians were forced to march the “Trail of Tears” in which approximately 4000 Indians were subject to fate’s hands and died, or were murdered due to being non-cooperative. Since Andrew Jackson decided to commit these immoral acts he gave himself a very bad reputation when it came to the indians and in doing this he allowed history to judge him and it’s not in a positive manner. Andrew Jackson made good and bad contributions, but in the eyes of many people including me the bad decisions or immorale ones outweigh the positive impacts he had as a president. It's very debatable whether Andrew Jackson was a good or bad president because of his public speaking and how the people loved him, since of his background and his ability to connect with the people of the United States, and all the bad he did to the Indians without even consideration of

Survival doesn’t always come easy, most of the time you will have to make decisions that will make others judge you, whether you like it or not. For example, if someone left their friend to save themselves, should these people be held accountable for their actions? People shouldn’t be held accountable for those actions because when it comes to life or death that’s so much pressure to that person so of course they’re going to make mistakes and everyone makes mistakes we just have to learn from them. However, people will argue that if they put themselves in that situation they should be held accountable for their action In a story titled The Seventh Man, The story is about a boy and his friend who go to the beach after a storm and they end up in a life or death situation. When they were on the beach out of nowhere a huge wave starts to come towards them, which can kill them both, the Seventh man makes a decision “i told myself to to run over to K….

With all these people calling for help to get to safety, the pilots are having difficult problems going back and forth. In conclusion, people should not have the right to rescue workers. It may be their job, but no one wants to put others at risk. It causes more money for one helicopters. Money goes down and pilots are in great danger.

Jack has a knife and is able to kill pigs in order for them to eat meat instead of tasteless fruits. That is why he is now seen as a capable leader. Jack doesn’t become this powerful overnight though. He stayed with everyone for some time, but they still believed he wasn’t equipped enough to be a leader, which caused him to feel powerless. A defining point for Jack is when he finally catches and kills a pig.

This means that letting the kidnaper go means that you may not be able to see your child again and such thought is dreaded by any parents. On the other hand, it also means that you choose not to save two other innocent lives. One can question the morality of this decision because if you had watched your son carefully, the kidnapper would have never had the opportunity to get him and the pedestrians would have never been involved. Therefore, you are morally obligated to save the pedestrians who are in a sense mere victims of your inattention. Moreover, you will have to live with this burden the rest of your

“…If the victim survives, there are long term harms to that person, because their identity has been broken by this process of controlling their minds and bodies. When released, they are unable to function again in society. They are likely to be psychologically damaged for the rest of their lives, suffering trauma or finding it difficult to trust others. That is still a significant amount of damage to one life and directly impedes their autonomy. So, it is never justified to use utilitarian morality in decision making.” (Source D).

I know that buying a home is stressful for anyone, but I also knew that my anxiety was getting the best of me. Over the years I’ve learned to anticipate those feelings and try to work through them, but that one childhood event still has a huge impact on me every single day and I know that it has negatively affected my life course

And when it goes to the hands of the wrong people who believes that violence is the divine direction to attract many followers, then religion can lead to extreme immortality. Religious extremists’ doings generates fear and hostility among refugees which caused them to leave their homes. An example would be from the Christian-Muslim conflict in Central African Republic that occurred in last year. “Almost 5 million people were affected by the conflict that thousands have died from the merciless massacre between the Christian and Muslim war fighters. There were 440,000 refugees that fled their country and 190,000 have escaped to neighbouring countries such as Cameroon, Chad, the Democratic ,the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo in order to not be harmed by the armed conflict.” (Onyulo T., April 2012).

Just the sound of some fireworks could trigger an episode and they are truly scared for their lives. A lot of times these combat veterans go through these experiences and don’t have a chance to really see it for what it was. Instead they bottle of their emotions and never have a chance to process. It is important that you are able to process what happened to you and learn from it, it can be tough when you are in the military and they are assigning you to missions constantly. Sean Gobin has my vote he has a great cause and I hope that more veterans will be able to take advantage of this program and process what they have gone

Some people believe they do not want a better understanding of what caused their loved one’s passing; however, with better understanding comes accepting it as something irreversible. At this particular point in the grieving process people can do things such as making lists of why the situation was not their fault, write a mock letter to their deceased loved one, or seek professional help. Typically, people are afraid to seek help from professionals like psychologists but, the information and the fact someone is seeking help is private. As reported by Mary Lou Cappel and Susan Leifer Mathieu of Loss and the Grieving Process, seeking professional help is just another step in accepting emotions and grief that come along with death. Not everyone can handle accepting their pain and gaining understanding; therefore, this step can be the hardest yet most
