The Euphio Question Analysis

Richard was forced to grow up and stand up for himself even through the tough times. His mother needed him to protect himself in order to keep him and his family safe. Physical hunger however, is not the only hunger present in his life. Richard suffers from emotional hunger as well.

Millions of people begin each day with a cup of coffee. They likely believe that they prepare the drink by brewing grounded coffee beans in water. However, that is not completely accurate; the term coffee bean is a misnomer. The grounded substance was a seed, not a legume. Perhaps in a similar way, mislabeling has happened to gluttony. In her book Glittering Vices, Rebecca DeYoung argues there is more to gluttony than simply overindulging. She wrote, “Gluttony is about taking excessive pleasure in food” (143). In this paper, I will overview DeYoung’s view of gluttony, including her understanding of what constitutes it and highlight its noticeable aspects, such as the glutton’s stomach becoming their demigod. Then, I will give my reflection on the topic. Last, I will argue that DeYoung overlooked egoism and narcissism’s relationship to envy. She argues that the envious are envious for the reason, they do not have self-love (44); however, their narcissism drives their envy for whatever it is they lack.

“Human reason can excuse any evil; that is why it's so important that we don't rely on it” - Veronica Roth. Dystopian authors often create advanced societies that create either utopian or dystopian communities after a act of evil. They want the reader to feel something about what direction the world is going, by applying hyperbole which is an exaggerated point of view of potential dangers to modern countries. The book “The Testing” by Joelle Charbonneau is an example of social commentary because it presents a hyperbolized version of an post apocalyptic world that was rebuilt into a utopian society, raises awareness that wars can destroy the world and kill people. She does this in an effective way describing how characters struggle and using powerful language.

The average brain goes through multiple experiences each and every day that impact your emotions in various ways that one cannot control. The most enjoyable and complex emotion would have to be happiness. Happiness is ultimately subjective to the individual themselves based on the experiences they’ve had. According to author Daniel Gilbert who wrote Paradise Glossed explains that actions are also based upon emotions and that it drives the individual to do certain things. On the other hand, Author Matthieu Ricard describes happiness to be a burden of sorts causing one to eventually depress themselves. All in all, these two authors have different meanings of happiness and both seem to lead in the same direction as to what happiness is.

In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel recounts his experiences and the affects that they had on him during the Holocaust. Throughout the novel the reader gets to see Elie’s transformation from a religious, sweet little boy to the shell of a man that was left after his experience. During Elie’s traumatic experiences we can observe him going through several changes both physically and mentally.

I believe this “hunger” is a representation of not only their physical hunger but also the want for more in their own lives.

Both “Frankenstein” and “The Tempest” have had an insurmountable influence on the way literatures developed. This is largely due to the similar compelling theme of the oppressor and the oppressed, a theme which is widely represented in novels today. The themes and the character relationships are extremely similar to one another. This is conveyed through the relationships between Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, as well as the relationship between Prospero and Caliban.

Everyone has been hungry at some point in time. Hunger can drive people to do anything takes to eat even if it has consequences. Odysseus men in The Odyssey have not had food in three months. Odysseus’ men should eat the cattle that belonged to Helios, the sun god, because of the following: they were starving, the first mate said drowning was preferable to starving, and the men believe they could give a sacrifice to Helios when they got home. The men had depleted their food supply.

Starvation causes great suffering and deprives people of an essential part of life. This was one of the many ways the Nazis dehumanized Jews. The Jews in concentration camps were given only small portions of unsubstantial food. This made the prisoners weak and exhausted, while they were expected to still perform hard labor. “Bread, soup-these were my whole life. I was a body. Perhaps less than that even: a starved stomach. The stomach alone was aware of the passage of time” (Wiesel 38). In Night, Wiesel even recalls the soup

In this assignment I am going to talk about the sociological imagination on food and the aspects it brings with it. Before starting that large process I firstly will explain what the social imagination is and what the key points of the imagination are in able to fully understand the topic; food and its history, biography, and the relation it has in society. This is my first assignment for the module understanding contemporary society so please bear with me as I will do my best to explain it in a logic manner so everybody can understand it.

The education of Sparta varied in strengths and in weaknesses. The Sparta’s were first located in southern Greece called the Peloponnese. In this colony, the Sparta’s only vision was bloodthirsty war and violence. At the age of seven, a young boy is removed from his family and is expected, from his 8th to his 21st year, become educated to a brutal military-like discipline. Therefore, regarding the education in Sparta, the weaknesses outweighed the strength because the Spartan’s didn’t value family morals, the basics of reading and writing were taught, and the upbringing of Spartan boys was cruel and painful.

The Hunger Artist is valued, or commodified, for his ability to last many days without any source of nutrition. The people in the village were completely infatuated with his frail malnourished body. Even children sat “marveling at him while he sat there pallid in black tights” (Kafka 347). The Hunger Artist began to be obsessed with his popularity. He knew that the people loved him, and he took great pride in that. Additionally, because of the ever-growing admiration of the Hunger Artist, people began to conform to the new fad. For instance, Kafka states, “There were people who bought

Nicholas Kristof is a two-time Pulitzer prizewinning books and “Prudence or Cruelty” was feature in the New York Times in 2013. In “Prudence or Cruelty” it discuss the potential of ridding our society of food stamps to help boost our economy. Children everyday wonder when, not what, their next meal will be. As sad as it sounds, but “5 percent of American households have very low food security” (Kristof 172). This basically means the household can run out of food whenever, and this usually leads to a parent not eating to make sure their kids have enough to eat. This often leads to eating disorders as well due to the consistency of not eating from the lack of food.

There are four main perspectives in psychology. These are known as; biological perspective, learning perspective, cognitive perspective, and sociocultural perspective. Each perspective aids in the understanding of human behavior. However, not one perspective can explain all of human behaviors. This is due to each perspective playing different roles in ones behavior. To fully understand human behaviors scientist must understand the four perspectives.

Plato’s Euthyphro is based on a lesson between Socrates and Euthyphro outside of the Athenian court about the definition of pious or impious. Euthyphro was surprised to see Socrates there and even more curious to find out why he was there.
