  • Abuse of Power in Doubt, by John Patrick Shanley

    1166 Words  | 3 Pages

    Power is earned, not given. There are many different types of power that people can earn. Power becomes a problem when it is not questioned or tested. Therefore, the one with the power would have total control over anything or anyone they wanted, or they would feel that way. People with power feel invincible when it is not questioned. Throughout history it has been proven that this creates a problem. For example, Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal is similar to the scandal with Father Flynn in Doubt. Doubt, by John Patrick Shanley, exemplifies an underlying message that unquestioned faith leads to abuse of power. Specifically, shown in Father Flynn’s reputation, cover up, and resignation, which all correlate to Richard Nixon’s Watergate Scandal.

  • A Jury of Her Peers, by Susan Glaspell

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    Women have often dealt with the double standard when it came down to the difference between men and women. In fact, women only gained their right to vote in Canada in 1929; excluding the province of Quebec. Men are usually seen to be the superior sex, and also the leaders of significant matters. However, women on the other hand tend to be followers, or the lesser version of a man. “A Jury of Her Peers” written by Susan Glaspell is a short story that deals with this moral issue. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are called into an investigation with their spouses for the murder of their neighbor, Mr. Wright. The men go upstairs to find a motive to convict Mrs. Wright, and ask the two women to stay in the kitchen. The women are seen to be inadequate and are unable to find clues, therefor they stay where they belong; ironically, the women find the only clue that could convict Mrs. Wright for the murder. This paper will examine the significance of women’s role, and the relationship between women and men in a patriarchal society.

  • The Crucible by Reverend John Hale

    1129 Words  | 3 Pages

    Benjamin Disraeli once said, “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.” Humanity is surrounded by change. Whether it is favorable or abominable, change makes an entrance into the daily lives of individuals. Imagine one who wins the lottery. Their entire life turns a corner and they see materialistic happiness waiting for them. They buy a new house or a new car. Early retirement might come next. Slowly, as time passes, their personality changes dramatically. They inherit traits such as cockiness or greediness. All the money in the world belongs in their hands. Eventually, reality catches up to them and they start to lose their valuable possessions. Of course, this is not the case for everyone; however it is a fairly common occurrence in society. Arthur Miller’s controversial play contains some characters who fall victim to various changes which affect their original lifestyle. In The Crucible, Reverend John Hale enters the doors of Salem with a confident urge to find witchcraft, but leaves with the burden of knowing about their corrupt community.

  • What Makes Us Moral By Jeffrey Kluger

    928 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the article “What makes us moral” by Jeffrey Kluger, he describes how morality is defined and how the people follow rules. Kluger discusses about scientific research that has been done to point out the important reasons of morality. Kluger explains that a person’s decision to do something good or bad is based on empathy, that humans tend not to do bad to those they sympathize with. Kluger also compares humans with animals and thinks that morality is the only thing that separates us from animals. I do agree with Kluger that people are born with a sense of right and wrong, but we should be taught how to use it. We learned to be nicer to those around us because we already know the type of person they are, and the morality we learned as children

  • Song Of Solomon Character Analysis

    392 Words  | 1 Pages

    Since the beginning of society, societal expectation has caged the individuality of humanity, coiling its lethal body around its prey and suffocating until no unique identity remained intact. This has shaped and created a superficial mask that people parade in front of others, restricting their genuine characteristics in favor of more “desirable” ones. These manacles of the mind restrain the very thing that makes us human -our uniqueness- and distorts it so that it can place us in boxes of our limitations and expectations. Characters from Let the Great World Spin and Song of Solomon are seduced by the allure of a societal “norm”, changing their behaviour to fit into their designated social category, but the ultimate goal in life is actually

  • Summary Of Dave Eggers The Circle

    Whether it is the Golden Bridge in San Francisco or in a town in Guatemala assisting to stop a crime, the Circle can help achieve it all. "Below the picture of Ana María was a blurry photo of a group of men in mismatched military garb, walking through dense jungle. Next to the photo was a frown button that said "We denounce the Central Guatemalan Security Forces." Mae hesitated briefly, knowing the gravity of what she was about to do—to come out against these rapists and murderers—but she needed to make a stand. She pushed the button." (38) Mae seems to inflate her influences on SeeChange,the nationwide installation of lollipop sized cameras to achieve live viewer access to many locations over the world, strongly supporting the fact that she is bringing a halt to violence in Guatemala. Mae had good intentions, but she doesn’t realize the power she held at the time with this kind of technology. She is essentially putting herself in the middle of the battlefield unsure of what to do, as she supposed that she was doing good. Mae detached from her world and put herself in a world in which she didn’t understand. She didn’t talk to Guatemalans, Mae is clueless upon truly happens as she only saw the big picture of things. As stated in an APA article, “When teens tell me that they’d rather text than talk, they are expressing another aspect of the new psychological
