Power Of The Heart Analysis

871 Words4 Pages

This incredible movie The Power of the Heart depicts the astonishing power possessed by the human heart and its unmatched intelligence. The film addresses properties of the heart that are beyond the physical that allow human beings to achieve their utmost potential through overcoming human limitations. This vital organ is responsible for man’s connectedness with other human beings, compassion to the plight of others as well as love and understanding. The power of the heart to hate and have negative feelings is as much important as its ability to have good qualities, especially when one’s heart is not open to the world and to other people. The refusal of opening one’s heart is the main reason one gets a ‘broken heart’. The movie used both scientific and spiritual evidence to support these claims about the heart. It makes use of real life inspiring stories about overcoming personal grieve, death, and forgiveness of others. This is the concrete proof …show more content…

Our problems started many years ago due to her constant nagging and belittling nature. In my opinion, she is a perfectionist who goes out of her way to make me look bad in family gatherings. I lost faith in her abilities to offer sound motherly advice since she is very petty and malicious. This is the main reason why I opt out of family gatherings where she is in attendance. In the few instances where I have to attend such meetings, I have to maintain a pretentious appearance of liking her and enjoying her lame jokes. However, the film has offered me a different approach to the problem. By forgiving her, I would lose the burden of having anger and contempt that weigh in my heart every time I have to meet her. I would instead gain quality family holidays. Besides, discarding my negative emotions could help to establish a wonderful motherly relationship based on love and respect instead of hate and

  • The Conservative Heart Analysis

    1054 Words  | 5 Pages

    I have heard it said by friends that they think of liberals as promoting policies that stem from the heart while conservatives think from the head. Although this may not be completely accurate for every conservative or liberal, I do believe that this description of the two major sides of most issues can be seen throughout conservative and liberal policies. For example, liberals are repeatedly outspoken when it comes to policies that expand the social safety net, for taxing the rich and giving money to the poor. I believe that much of these policies stem from a genuine moral standing on the part of liberal politicians and voters. Conservatives tend to shy away from policies that expand the welfare system because they genuinely believe that the

    In “Exploring the Managed Heart,” Hochschild observes that modern day labor has developed into occupations that require not only physical labor, but also emotional labor. Emotional labor as a method of profit maximization not only makes the worker’s obligations more ambiguous and more demanding, but also makes workers more susceptible to experience emotional distress. The author argues that the majority labor in the workforce evolved from involving purely physical labor to requiring more, such as emotional labor. Hochschild defines emotional labor as ‘the management of feeling to create a publicly observable facial and bodily display.’

Through his work, Doyle is telling his audience to not close off their hearts to the things in life that make it worth it, even if it brings pain and sorrow.
