In regards to chapter 10, the topic that I found particular interesting was the “differences-similarities dialectic”. The reason being on how it describes how humans interact with one another and the differences that attract the person to its peer. Similarity principal; a rational attraction suggesting individuals tend to be attracted to people they perceive to be similar to themselves (Martin & Nakayama, 398). I find it interesting that it’s the truth with this topic because everyone does it and they don’t know it because its second nature to them. An example would be a girl looking for a boyfriend and looking for something serious. If the father of the girl was around and she sees him as an example to follow she will look for a guy that
This novel uttered this through the reoccurring theme of mateship between the two main characters. Throughout the novel, the author has expressed no one will be able to overcome stress and mishaps in life, without a hold of mateship with one another. The relationships with people are interesting as many people in society go through the same thing. The author wrote this for the reason that it is the way humanity was born. No matter if ones cheat or get someone pregnant, people can always related and help you.
1) This quote is an example of an allusion because Holden is referring to the book, David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. Moreover, it doesn't describe it in detail, its just a brief comment.
It also explores ideas about prejudice of someone’s appearance and how friendship, peer pressure and family support contribute to complicating or resolving the problem. Through these core themes, Carl has doubt and worry, but also learns confidence and acceptance.
One concept from chapter eight I find to be very relevant to this episode are the theories of race and ethnicity, specifically the conflict theory. The conflict theory is the belief that majority groups use racism and ethnocentrism to protect their interests (Ferris, 2016). This episode touched a lot upon the history of racism and racial construction within the united states. Caucasians justified their actions and protected their interests by constructing racial superiority and scientific beliefs that were racist, which is an example of

A first example in the book is the process in which babies are “born.” The intricate fertilizing, decanting, and conditioning processes is directly used to produce and control a 5 caste system in society. Now, this is not a bad idea, other system is flawed. We see this in people like Bernard. An alpha is supposed to be at the top of society being well formed, tall, good looking and intelligent. Bernard however is somewhat shorter and less handsome than the rest of the men in his caste, and therefore is thought of as queer. This inconsistency in the hatching system shows proof that the system is not completely safe or stable, and will in time produce more and more “social rejects” that can only lead to destroy the system.
I believe that one theme of this book is, that you should always watch what you say, how you
Of course the logic in Chapter 2 is easy to agree with; I really agree with the ideas about opportunities the most. Chances at success are scarce. As the population grows chances become increasingly scarce.
Overall book ten has many links throughout the book and the structure of book ten relies on them to work. Many are theme based that within them are complex and debatable such as the nature of love and whether it is tragic or maddening. How focalisation can change our understanding and representation of a characters situation. How obsession affects the characters and our perception of the text as a whole. As well as the transformation both physically brought on and emotionally in the transformation of the kinds of love. These factors all influence the structure of book ten and how that affects our reading of the book overall. And as a result without them the structure of book ten would suffer.
I think that the most important thing I got from this book, is the relacom concepts. I found if I translate almost every line of a scene, the intentions reveal themselves, and the delivery of line, is much more convincing. Another concept that I have always wanted to express, but couldn’t find the words, is the idea of ethno-centricity. I can’t remember which chapter it was in, but it explained that everyone thinks their own world is the center, and to properly build a character, sometimes you must lose this ethno-centiricity.
What I learned about the social construction of difference conceptually means the differences in society that people perceive individuals are morally consist of gender and race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and social class. Theoretically, according to Allan Johnson, social construction of difference, is created between two groups, one groups that has privileges and the ability to pass through society as “normal’. Some humans that are considered to be the oppressed are “non-normal and do not get the same privileges of the domain group. Johnson also uses the example of American woman who has not had any contact with white society. As of what the women knows, she is merely aware that she is an African American woman, not considered to be a black woman, in her state of
They might start by looking at the obstacles or problems that she has faced and could of have affected either physically or emotionally to come to the conclusion of why Ms. Smith could be experiencing all the behavior changes expressed by Ms. Smith and her sister. Bandura and Mischel might start looking into her personal life and the people she associate her self with. They might focus on the fact that she was in an abusive relationship. They might conclude that her behavior is being influenced by low self-esteem and the cause of her low self-esteem could be caused by the amount of verbal and physical abused that she received by her ex husband. Ms. Smith sister could be an important part to test Mischel idea that discriminations often are visible within the same person if closely observed over time and across satiations. In other words the sister input about Ms. Smith behavior can be very important to determine how drastically smith behavior has really

The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less, by Barry Schwartz, is focused on the analysis of personal behavior in relation to decision making. As the title implies, the author emphasizes the main point that more choices actually lead to less of an ideal experience. In recent years, choices have become almost unlimited, and this has led to an increase in unnecessary stress placed on the consumer. The availability to make decisions in virtually every aspect of life creates a new level of responsibility on individuals. Decision making can lead to an enormous group of positive and negative feelings. Some of which include satisfaction, happiness, regret, disappointment and even depression. It is important to explore the broad category of decision making
Finally this project ends with a personal comment on the third chapter as well as on the whole book.
