As a society we judge others based upon social norms and cultures. In our lives, we encounter people from everywhere. Cultures are what make us unique from others. Our culture defines us as an individual and our background of who we will become. In the story Renard the Fox, Renard proves to others that the society cannot function without him. Without a leader, society will never function correctly, and everything will fall apart. Everyone is expected to contribute to today’s society and accomplish something in order to fulfill each other. Creating a functioning society is essential to having a maintained and balanced society. Renard the Fox illustrates that the role of having authority is important and ideal among creating a successful and …show more content…
Because Will Smith is a leader, leaders must choose to make the right choice therefore, he is a leader! He sacrifices his dogs life by shielding himself however, the dog dies because he draws attention to the monster causing death upon himself. Renard and Will Smith are both heros in my opinion because they prove to be trustworthy and caring. However,heros also carry deep secrets.. In addition, Renard the Fox is based upon creating a functioning society. This story begins in a courtroom which takes place during medieval times close to the Feast of the Ascension. The Noble King wants to reward everyone including all of the animals. At the feast, everyone shows up and they all complain about Renard. At the feast everyone exposes Renard for all of the crimes he has committed. A few days later Renard is facing charges after committing horrific crimes that involve the molestation of Ysengrin’s wife. “Take him for a lying thief” (Terry 1365). Everyone in the courtroom disagrees that Renard is not guilty and he did commit all of the crimes. “The king should punish for his pride and for the crimes he hoped to hide”(Terry 1365). As a result of Renard being the …show more content…
One literary critic I chose to display my similarities and differences in the play is written by the Encyclopedia of Word Writer 's, Beginnings to 20th. The analysis begins by stating the characteristic of Renard saying that he is a “trickster”(Lodge 1). Indeed he is! Renard proves to everyone in the courtroom, and himself that he simply does not care about the future and only the present. The actions that have taken place are not easy to ignore. Sleeping with someone’s wife is not an ideal situation, and you cannot just ignore it. “As a fox, he uses trickery to get food, avenge himself, and defend himself against his enemies”(Lodge 1). I agree without a doubt that he did use his leadership role to take advantage of everyone and
Culture People judge others by their culture. which basically means that we don’t treat them the same. Sometimes we don’t even recognize that they are even there. Everybody is different in there own way. Culture consistently informs the way one views others and the world.
As part of human nature, we’re accustomed to following a set of rules to have an orderly and peaceful lifestyle. Usually, if those rules are disobeyed, destruction and disorder are bound to come our way. This act is prevalent in two stories, Beowulf and The Lord of the Flies, that were written centuries apart, but yet the concept of how ignoring rules can lead to the downfall of societies is common in both. Usually, a well-built society derives from a strong leader who has the characteristics of guiding people to do the right actions. Such an example would be Beowulf who is viewed as a God-like hero and is highly respected.
The Primary objective of all leaders should be to control citizens. A society that allows authority to be challenged will never succeed. This source depicts an authoritarian or totalitarian view of what a governing body should look like. The author suggests that the primary objective of government should be the “control of the citizens”, and therefore that the individuals should entirely obey said government.
Rather than depending on a leader who “cannot do everything” (Thoreau 6), each person should take care of himself. To prove his point, he talks about how acorns and chestnuts “obey their own laws, and spring and grow and flourish as best they can” (Thoreau 10). The same idea applies to humans; they should be able to follow their own laws because everyone is different. No leader would be needed if this were the
He idolized his wife’s honesty, claiming that Elizabeth could never lie. When she is prosecuted and pressed on the issue of Proctor’s involvement with Abigail, she lies to the court that Proctor was never in an affair. Her small lie brands him as a sinner trying to topple the court. Proctor’s faith in her ability was ultimately what sends him to the gallows. The final nail in the coffin, though, was in act four.
Some find it difficult to diffuse authority… [which] causes some to feel threatened and insecure” (Sferra). More simply, an authoritative leader is one that has supreme power over the people. McMurphy’s transformational
Wherever human beings are accumulated together in large numbers, they need leadership. Even a school needs a principle to mentor and escalate the school’s rank. Armies need generals to lead them to a courageous victory. Civilians need governments, captains of industry and intellectual leaders of thought as well. However, There are characteristics common to most great leaders that can be picked out.
Every day we use our culture. Whether it be to argue claims, express opinions, or make decisions, culture plays a part in each area. Culture is who we are, one’s identity, its extent is enormous over our views and actions. A person grows up surrounded with culture at a young age. This can affect how they learn and what they learn.
Since the beginning of the human existence, man has always dominated and ruled over one another be it empires, corporations, or small groups. Authority and obedience has always been a factor of who we are. This natural occurrence can be seen clearly through the psychological experiments known as The Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. Both of these studies are based on how human beings react to authority figures and what their obedience is when faced with conflict.
While most individuals reject the idea that a king’s authority reigns supreme, many individuals agree that authoritative figures do indeed hold a scared position, a position which requires respect and honor. The balance between the two lies in maintaining that the law, disregarding all the unjust aspects, necessitates obedience, and maintaining that the law only necessitates obedience when it does not go against one’s
Bertrand Russell, a famous philosopher, once said “as soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely on authority, there is no end for our troubles”. This quote reveals how authority can completely make our lives more difficult and unsuitable to live in. This symbolizes that authority may overpowers us, and how we are naturally prone to follow power people. Once we follow an authority figure we tend to lose hope in our dreams. Losing contact in our dreams pushes us to focus on reality.
Leaders can be good or bad, but do people have to be either a good or bad leader to be effective? This leads to an important question--what makes an effective leader? An effective leader has to have firm control over who they are leading, sometimes through the use of fear or confusing language, or even through repetition of specific words and empathy, as seen in the novel 1984 and the speech “Four Freedoms”. In the text 1984, the government who is the leader is effective by using the method of fear.
‘Julius Caesar’ and ‘Henry V’ are plays whose themes are reflective of their respective contextual climates. They were both written in the time of renaissance theatre under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, who was an avid supporter of Shakespeare’s work. The plays were written consecutively, and they both present historical figures that were greatly idolised in the period in which they were composed. Both history plays convey how, on political scenery, deceit is omnipresent. In Julius Caesar, it is used to bring down the monarchial rule and to ultimately implant a new democratic government, while in Henry V, the King makes use of multiple facets of his personality among which is deceitful behavior in order to conquer France and win over
While both stories are unique in their conflicts and resolutions, they each take place in a similar culture and hold a similar theme. In “Story of an Hour” the main conflict facing Mrs. Mallard is identified within the first sentence, “the news of her husband’s death” (Chopin, 32). At first, Mrs. Mallard, behaves how a reader would expect one to at the news of a loved ones passing. “She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment…” (33).
Within multimodal texts authors use a variety of language and visual features in order to create meaning and convey a sophisticated story.
