Adapting Lenina's Injustice To Adaptate To Another Culture

Decent Essays
I chose this quote because I think it would be very weird to adapt to another culture like she had unfortunately she didn't do so well. I also think that the different civilizations should learn about one another because if they do want to visit or even if they were accidentally left there like Linda was they would know how to adapt to the customs of the other civilization. I also picked this quote because it relates to they way we live to because we don't always agree with other countries just like other countries don't always agree with us.(100)

This quote talks about how Lenina sees a old man for the first time because where she lives people don't get old and wrinkly or lose there teeth, because they have high technology. So this

    I agree with the statement “Russia’s agriculture changed little in the years 1894 to 1914”. I believe Russia’s agriculture went through little change, prior to 1905 and the Russian revolution, even though 80-90% of the peasants in Russia where farming the land, and it contributed to a huge majority of the Russian economy. But I believe post revolution, Stolypin and his reforms led to the development of Russia’s agriculture, with 1906 being a very important year in the development of Russia’s agriculture, with power taken from the Mir’s (a self-governing community) in November of 1906, and more land becoming available for farmers to buy in September 1906.…

    In the “Freedom and Resentment” chapter, Connolly analyzes freedom and morality. By recognizing that as humans we are mortal, we tend to find who we are soon. Once determining who we are in this world, we can enjoy freedom by having an array of endless possibilities. Connolly also suggests that death is not the only mechanism that can connect individuals to the larger world, but so can gratitude. By giving gratitude, we acknowledge our setting in society and enables us to think of other possibilities that we could have faced.…

    Tethered to global, everyday life are a myriad of political ideologies constructing many individuals’ identities and experiences. These ideologies--Anarchism, Conservatism, Fascism, and Communism to name a few--have reshaped as time has progressed to suit the plights and desires of humanity’s dynamic existence. But many times, unfortunately, these systems fail to serve any beneficial purpose; they exploit the population, and they destroy. Especially notorious for the exploitation of its citizens is Communism, which has endured much hatred and failed implementation. Within her piece “Novostroïka,” native Ukrainian Maria Reva satirizes the inadequacy of this particular ideology through the lens of Daniil Blinov and his family struggling to exist in the collapsing Soviet Union.…

    Injustice often cause growth of anger and rage within the oppressed and by learning to cope with these injustices authors such as Zora Hurston, Frederick Douglas and Brent Staples were able to discover ways to overcome misery caused by the unfair treatments they received.

    The Second Great Awakening started in 1800. Social equality in the new nation all boiled down to religion. “At the start of the Revolution the largest denominations were congregationalists (the 18th-century descendants of Puritan churches), anglicans (known after the Revolution as Episcopalians), and Quakers.” Afterwards, Methodists and Baptists were becoming the fasting-growing religions in the nation and started attempting to democratize religion. Preachers began performing traveling revivals to spread their religious message.…

    The quote stands out amongst the others because it makes one think that because of something as simple as race, who you are, and where you were born, one can be exiled. Fortunately, many places are more excepting than some Middle East countries and people will not become exiled because of who they are. No matter where one is at, there will always be an outcast; if one keeps fighting to be themselves, the more excepted in society they will…

    Imagine living in a world where no human oppresses another. Imagine living in a world where no one is poor and no one is rich. Imagine living in a world where the social class system is non-existent. Karl Marx, a 19th century philosopher, foresaw the image of this apparent communist utopia forming in every society; he expected the maltreated working classes to fight back against those who have immense, misused power. He believed that material possessions have a powerful enough influence on our lives to be considered the sole reason of historical change.…

    Antoine Roquentin’s feelings of “adventure” and Anny’s notion of “perfect moments” tie together throughout Nausea. Roquentin spends most of his time alone, self-analyzing, but it is through his adventure that he discovers what he has been missing. Unlike Roquentin, Anny had been chasing these “perfect moments” her whole life and by the end of the book, she feels as if she has run out of them. Anny and Roquentin’s lives seem to almost run parallel to each other, but going the opposite directions; Anny always seeking adventure then giving up on them and Roquentin finally seeking an adventure only to find they only exist once they’re over. Although entirely different concepts throughout Nausea, Roquentin’s “adventures” and Anny’s “perfect moments”…

    Sexism shows itself repeatedly in literature, from the overly masculine, emotionless male hero to the women being portrayed as either weak and pitiful–or evil and seductive–making it a topic that is impossible to overlook. But at times, it is hard to determine whether or not the author is being deliberately sexist or is subconsciously influenced by the era in which he/she is writing. In Brave New World, gender goes alongside class in creating a world full of gender-based bias and stereotypes. Since the book was published in 1932, this was a time where men in particular may have been unaware of how influenced they were by the patriarchal culture of the time. Brave New World is a textbook example of sexism in literature, but gender roles and…

    In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee there are many quotes. The quote “you never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” sticks out the most. The thing that makes it stick out the most is about how true it is. In our generation we usually judge people by the way they look or dress but will never get to know them. Some other quotes similar to this quote are “ i had to put ourselves in her shoes and it was a honest mistake”,”people generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for.…

    Exile is defined by Edward Said as “the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place.” He further describes exile as “essential sadness that can never be surmounted” but also “a potent, even enriching experience.” This juxtaposition of descriptions captures the unpredictability of the outcomes of things in life, even traumatic ones such as exile. No matter how horrific things get, there can always be a possibility of happiness from the pain. In Huxley’s Brave New World, exile is a very important central theme.…
