The Philosophy of the Joker Wisecrack According to philosopher Jean Paul Sartre humans are solely responsible and in charge of their own lives. For example, Sartre writes “I have to realize the meaning of the world and of my essence; I make my decision without concerning them—without justification and without excuse.” Sartre is saying that although the world has its values, the decision on how a person acts is the person’s choice. This video relates to life. We all go through things where we must make difficult choices. We all have a meaning in life. If we don’t make the right choice, we won’t end up where we are suppose to. “Sonny’s Blues” This story relates to the video because Sonny went through pain. He turned his pain into music. He chooses how he wanted his life to go. He made a choice to take something negative and make it positive. “Richard Cory” In Edwin Arlington Robison’s “Richard Cary” the central character fails to take control of his life and his decisions becomes his tragic suicide.

Which is still a big issue in the world today. Just last week a customer was kicked out of a Starbucks because he was black. Which proves they is still discrimination going on today. This movie describes people being prejudice in a way even kids can understand. This video can relate to life. The issue about inequality in the movie are still going on today. Women are still getting paid less than men. That fall under discrimination. Things like customers at Starbucks are being treated unequally. I feel it is sad that we still haven’t overcome this issue. We are taught the golden rule to treat those how we want to be treated.

  • The 60s (movie)

    2037 Words  | 5 Pages

    This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.

This film shows that there is a way to change that if you make the other side see how they affect the people they are discriminating against. It is the responsibility of the adults to stop these learned behaviors and teach the children that people are all equal, that is what needs to be instilled in the generations to come otherwise everything will stay the same.

We observe as family ties become increasingly strained in every way, the viewer can easily conclude that Derek’s racism as well as his eventual influence on his younger brother ultimately contributed to their own downfall. As controversial as this movie maybe for the offensive language and brutal violence, it is a movie that deserves to be seen, and even discussed. It really provides insight into some factors within society that cannot be contained by the law or even deterred by even the harshest punishments. Even though American society is becoming more modernized as time goes by in terms of tolerance, racism will unfortunately always be prevalent in society and inevitably it will also lead some individuals to violently express their distorted mentalities.

  • Sartre: Authentic Existence in Living in Bad Faith

    We choose, act, and take responsibility for everything, and thus we live, and exist. Life cannot be anything until it is lived, but each individual must make sense of it. The value of life is nothing else but the sense each person fashions into it. To argue that we are the victims of fate, of mysterious forces within us, of some grand passion, or heredity, is to be guilty of bad faith. Sartre says that we can overcome the adversity presented by our facticity, a term he designs to represent the external factors that we have no control over, such as the details of our birth, our race, and so on, by inserting nothingness into it.
