The Abolition of Man, by CS Lewis, is a book that describes the ideas of how power is used over the units by humanity. CS Lewis idea might become truth, and we, as humans, should put more attention to this idea. The book contained three parts; the three different parts show the importance of ethics and the absolute harmony with natural order in the universe.
In the first paragraph of The Abolition of Man, men without chests, Lewis describes how different books show that schoolboys do not need to express their emotions. For example, they call a waterfall “sublime;” this can express a sentiment that one feels the attraction for the object, and the author of the book stated that it was not correct for anyone to express the feelings or to seek an excellent education. One will need to eliminate some emotions and express other. The authors of the “upper forms of schools,” like “the Green book,” let stand just the emotions that they will allow their pupils to learn and indirectly try to take the “bad emotions.”
The second part shows the willing of other people to

It is fascinating because we are partially being control by our government and society. We must have to live the way our predecessors thought it was best. Also, we can affect the next generation by the way we act, and we will use our power to make the next generation behave in the way we want them to behave.
In conclusion, The Abolition of Man is a great book how we, humans, see the reality of our world. We try to conquer the nature, and we might get close to accomplish this goal. In the end, we are just setting the procedure for other people to follow and to enslave the next generation with our power. The Abolition of Man is a book that opens the different perspectives of different views of our

C.S Lewis begins “The Abolition of Man” speaking of Gaius and Titius’ “Green Book”. The “Green Book” serves as a visualization for a world without the Tao, allowing Lewis to set up his argument for the necessity thereof. The Tao represents a stable platform for which morals and ethics stand upon. The premise for “Men Without Chests” is that the Tao is unchangeable, there is right and wrong, and that right and wrong can only exist scrupulously inside the Tao. “The little human animal will not at first have the right responses.
Mandel pictures an imperfect home island to show readers what their original society looks like in the novel’s world. The flaws of this island are flaws that modern society itself maintains. Characters who lived here want to leave. Mandel applies this emotion to people who are eager to leave. This common ideology drives readers to understand the world of the novel.
The dramatic coming-of-age film Dead Poet’s Society follows a group of young as they attend Welton Academy, an ultra conservative all-boys preparatory school, in 1959. Enthralled and inspired by the unconventional musings of their new English teacher, Mr. Keating, each of the students embark on a powerful journey of self-discovery, reflecting core transcendental themes of civil disobedience, non-conformity, and self-reliance. Heeding the mantra of their eccentric professor, the film’s characters learn they must rebel against societal conformity and willingly accept the consequences to truly seize the day and make life extraordinary. Aware of the repercussions of their bold and brazen actions, three of the film’s central characters undergo a process of igniting change to

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004. In a society notorious for its oblivious politicians, questionable educational system, and money hungry big corporations, this senseless quote made by the forty-third president of the United States George W. Bush, is only one of the many incidents validating Moore’s claim that we as Americans lack sufficient articulation and education. If there could be a spokesperson for criticizing American politicians, the educational system, globalization, large corporations, the war in Iraq, and many other debatable issues, American author of “Idiot Nation”, Michael Moore would be the ideal candidate.
The text appeals to the readers for both of the examples through emotion (pathos) by describing the conditions that the students learn in and it shows how the administration doesn’t care about the well-being of the students. Mireya discusses Fremont’s academic and sanitary problems and in the court papers it states, “Some of the classrooms ’do not have air-conditioning,’ so that students ‘become red-faced and unable to concentrate’ during ‘the extreme heat of summer.’ The rats observed by children in their elementary schools proliferate at Fremont High as well. ‘Rats in eleven . . . classrooms,’ maintenance records of the school report “(Kozol 708).
(page 112). Emotions like this enhance the feeling of the text and changes how things are inferred. Imagine the tone and mood are the center of the universe, the wonders of how things are created, or the juiciest part of a burger. Without the meat, the burger(story) is just lame, and no one wants to eat(read) it. The mood and tone are building blocks to the theme, and the whole novel, or

He shows how man can destroy, as in war, and that man must remove hate in order to achieve a “separate peace.” Finny sacrifices himself so Gene doesn’t end up like Leper, the outcast of society. Leper, a “naturalist,” represents the fragile, innocent people who hide from the horrors of life until one day they “meet it, the horrors face to face, just as (they) had always feared, and so give up the struggle completely” (196). Leper comes to one realization; people must evolve or perish. Gene, unlike Finny and Leper, can evolve.
Clive Staples Lewis (C.S. Lewis) was born in November 29, 1898 –November 22, 1963 and he was a British novelist, poet, broadcaster, and Christian apologist. C.S Lewis wrote “The Four Loves” in 1960. The Four Loves explore the relationships between the different loves a person can experience. The four loves are: Storge (affection), Philia (Friendship Love), Eros (Romantic Love), and Agape (Divine Love). C.S. Lewis mentioned that the Gift-Love is “love which moves a man to work and plan and save for the future well-being of his family, which he will die without sharing or seeing” (pg. 11).
In making the argument for the existence of the Law of Human Nature, C.S. Lewis first establishes the acknowledgement of a few different universal laws that man in subjected to. There is the law of gravity, in which Lewis insinuates that in the eyes of gravity, the body of man and a mere stone are one and the same. Then there are biological laws that correspond with those than an animal has. However, the one law that is specific to man and that man is free to disobey or get “mistaken”, is the “Law of Nature or decent behavior” (Lewis). C.S. Lewis uses inductive reasoning to form this kind of logic by first making the observation that even though throughout time man has seemed to have had different agreements of what they believe to be moral,

The exponential population growth of the human species has created mass debate for centuries. There is a great speculation that involves the sustainability of the human species, along with other species, into the distant future. Over the years, as the numbers steadily rise the governments of several countries have made attempts to limit the exponential growth of the human race. Some scientists believe that the world will inevitably make the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, a living reality. This is concerning because if the government dictates how the population increases, it will also dictate all other actions as well, stripping society of its individuality.
