Equality strived to be different and his own person and with that, I believe he will omit this sin in his
It is an almost universal taboo to shoot the messenger and a deep level of contempt is reserved for those who do. Contempt Machiavelli argues is something to be avoided. “A shrewd prince will lay his foundations on what is under his own control... He should simply take pains not to be hated” (Machiavelli 47). This is the establishment of a theme that Machiavelli continues through the rest of the book, the theme distilled is that a loathed prince cannot remain in power for his people will not support someone they hate and welcome his demise.
Every society is distinct from each other. Each of it goes through ups and down, but at the end of the day they all have a story to share. If we closely look at a society we can possibly make an instruction manual on what is the right and wrong way of running a society. It is not possible to predict how our society may turn out to but we have societies to look up to and we can adapt and modify those qualities which is best suited for us. Confucius and Han Fei are two Chinese philosophers whose works have been widely read and implemented.
The presented motifs of cowardice, shame, and guilt all stem from O’Brien’s disoriented belief in pleasing society and abandoning his identity.
By showing how Greed ruins lives, he then tells them that they can avoid having the stain of sin on their soul if they die, all for the cost of a few coins. By telling this story before asking for people to come to him for forgiveness, it almost eliminates their need to keep their money, because they can already see how sin can be their immediate downfall. By telling his story after the other tales, which were filled with the cost of their own sins, he can show how they need his services to have the purity to be in God’s Kingdom. When he tells them that he can wash away their sin, he is falling victim to his own lesson though, of his own Pride, which makes one think that perhaps there is no reason to even get absolved at all, which is precisely what the host tells him in so little
Creon thinks that the people will think of him as a liar if he lets Antigone free. Ironically, the people want Antigone to be set free and honored. His hamartia, his fear of losing power, becomes so immense it corrupts him. He even declares that, “...The city is the king’s-that’s the law” (Antigone, Line 824). Little did he know that peripeteia will come rushing forward and make his life
Also major part of revenge on his creator, he quotes “If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear” (173). To cope with every confrontation with humans and to accept constant rejection the creature will result in causing fear if he is not loved as he deserves. The point he is making is that from his point of view, the conscience cannot handle anymore rejection and he will get attention another way. Just as discussed in class “bad attention is better than no attention at all” (Mesa). From a physiological standpoint, it is completely logical that the creature would come to this conclusion, even if it is meant to do more harm than
A leader’s job should be involved so that his reputation is boosted. Leaders should choose clever advice-givers and dodge brown noses. With each of these character behaviors, Machiavelli goes against the grain. He knows that princes are always in the public eye. Their behavior will shake their public image and their status will involve their ability to keep
She wanted to be treated like a commoner rather than royalty and knew the public would respect her more if she didn’t act “snobby and rich” (Newsmakers). As people began to grow in love with her, Diana used her influence towards good. In any opportunity to raise awareness towards a problem, Diana used her platform to fight for what she believed. In addition when Diana set her mind to something she felt passionate about, she did whatever possible to achieve her goal.
Creating a stable society is key to creating a reliable and pleasant life for its citizens. With an unstable society many people will be unhappy and argue with each other; most of which leads to larger disagreements. People should learn to control themselves when it comes to disagreement to prevent and big riots. Napoleon Bonaparte; a French statesman, once said, “If nations want peace, they should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.” What he means by this is, if everyone argues over every imperfection their country has, it can only lead to bad things.
Here are some more examples of why she should be the mascot. One reason, is because she is the goddess of love. It would encourage children to be loving and kind to others. We should love others like God loves us, just like the Golden Rule treat others like you would like to be treated.
Also she causes discussion how irrational belief. In conclusion: Tania know where is the problem and she want uses some strategy when she feels depress she try a understand that and spent time in other activity with her family for this way she can relax and think best any decision that she take. Also she needs social care about her family and her friends and her children behavior is more important because when she sees it she feels like a best person and mom too.
Creon once suggests how “[a person] cannot judge unless [one] know the facts” (Sophocles 515) when he is the one being accused by Oedipus. And yet, Creon commits the same action that he advises others not to do which reveals his dishonesty and insincerity as a monarch. Moreover, Creon does not value the guidance that his subjects has to offer; instead, he values his own opinion, which consequently hinder him from knowing his own mistakes. Creon once trusted Teiresias’s advice, but once Creon becomes a monarch and hears what he does not like to know, he accuses, “But old Teiresias, among human beings the wisest suffer a disgraceful fall when, to promote themselves, they use fine words to spread around abusive insults” (Sophocles 22). Creon becomes arrogant to admit his own mistake to keep his reputation as a wise prince.
In the story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. he teaches us that making everyone equal doesn 't make them any less different because they all have different handicaps for different things, and you can get killed because you 're trying to be different than everyone else. In this story something that goes against my theme for this story would be that be that people 's equalities can be important although not for someone 's own qualities. The theme that would work for this story would just becuase you make everyone equal that doesn’t make them lose their differences. In the story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. shows us that everyone has handicaps for different things.
Yancey says that “power can force obedience, only love can summon a response of love” (44). This line reminds me of a ruler and his subjects. How can a ruler make his people do the things he wants? A ruler can be ruthless, making his people afraid of him, therefore they will do anything the ruler says out of fear. A ruler can also be kind and caring toward his people, gaining the love and respect out of his subjects, therefore the ruler’s people will do the things he wants out of love and kindness.
