Compassion within “Memories of a Dead Man Walking”
In order to feel human, there must be factors that drive this feeling. Someone who depends upon another, a connection, the feeling of compassion all give humanizing detail to life. One must not deprive these details from another, for this feeling is longed for by all. Each must make an effort for another to feel these very moments that impact their existence. Compassion and dependency abolish dehumanization. Through analysing sacrifices in “Memories of a Dead Man Walking”, Sister Helen Prejean reveals compassion aids in demoralization.
Compassion is the medicine that cures dehumanization symptoms. “The man was all alone. He had no one to visit him, and it was like a current in a river: I got

    Young children are exceptionally impressionable. They copy their peers, parents, and siblings to learn everything they do. They have overreactions to simple challenges because they have not yet learned how to behave. For a child who experiences a tragedy, the influence can be devastating, and something they can carry with them for their whole lives. Steven Church’s narrative essay “I’m Just Getting to the Disturbing Part” demonstrates human reactions toward a disaster, while expressing the author’s firsthand experience to a tragedy he witnessed as a child by using an ominous text throughout his story.…

    You know this man, I know him too; he can be anyone, he can be tall or fat or thin, of any race of any color, anywhere in the world. The man that begs for change, dressed in rags and weathered cloth, a man that knows true shame. For him, the winters come long and the summers pass no quicker. Every day is a struggle, yet he fights through it all the while as he prays to die. I’ve seen these men, these women, these children; condemned to the streets by chance or misfortune.…

    As a human being, every person faces some difficulties in his or her life; however, some challenges are forgettable but some are not. The obstacles that someone faces while standing to help others are unforgettable. In The Blue Sweater, Jacqueline Novogratz recounts her childhood memory, she remembers her first grade teacher, Sister Mary Theophane, who once advised her, “’Regardless of what you become’, she said, ‘remember always that to whom much is given, much is expected.

    The characters of William Gibson’s The Miracle Worker reveal the experience of children with disabilities second hand and the influence it has on their relationships. Helen Keller is a deaf and blind mute, isolated in her own world, unable to communicate with others; it’s possible she lost her sight and hearing as a result of an acute congestion. She’s “quite unkempt, attractive but noticeably blind, with one eye larger and protruding” whereas her gestures are abrupt, incessant and “lack human restraint.” Captain Arthur and Kate Keller are unable to differentiate compassion from love, indulging in each of their child’s desires. Annie Sullivan, the opposite of the desired dessicated spinster, doesn’t reinforce Helen’s problematic behaviors but rather through “persistence, love and sheer stubbornness breaks through” unlocking the safe, that no one could have opened prior to her arrival.…

    Radical Two millennia ago, a poor Jew who espoused a philosophy of loving enemies, elevating the lowly, and suffering with the oppressed could not be tolerated by the political authority of his day. He was put to death by Roman officials because of his worldview, but rather than extinguishing a flame, Jesus’ momentous act of solidarity forever lit the world on fire. This paschal mystery was a symbol, not of martyred pride, but humble prostration to assume the sins of humanity. The Christian faith in centuries to follow lost this guiding principle, eschewing its status as a church of the poor in favor of power and prestige. However, a recent shift in Christian thought has revived and renewed the founding purposes.…

    “They fed her on the odds and ends, a little better than the dog, and a little worse than the cat. The dog and cat were her messmates.” (Hugo, et al. 48) Though possibly just a simple quote detailing the character of Cosette near the beginning of the novel, perhaps this verse could possibly be describing a greater, broader theme about the story. Throughout the meandering tale that is Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo, we are subject to many conflicts betwixt characters and events; however, possibly the most grotesque example would be the warring amidst the lack of discernment between acting of extreme compassions or ignorant selfishness.…

    DeGroat depicts that sometimes it makes difficult to love certain people because these people are complex and difficult. Some people have personality disorders, some people have addictions, and some are just fools. Also, our own selves make us difficult to love these people. (DeGroat, 12) We are living in a broken world and each of us has an invisible bag behind us. DeGroat argues that by understanding the complexity of people and ourselves, we, as leaders and care-givers, can start caring for ourselves so that we can then care for the others.…

    Growing up in poverty increases our potential to understand each other in difficult times. In Lila, Marilynne Robinson accurately grasps the concept of knowing what it like to live below the poverty level. The lack of empathy is usually seen throughout society, especially in impoverished areas. Theft, abuse, violence, prostitution, are indicators of a poorly driven area. Further, Robinson suggests through empathetic characters, that there are people in the world that actually go out of his or her way to reach out to others at the poverty level.…

    We are guilty. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.” In this statement, Einstein argues that - at least to a point - our ethical and moral misconduct is fueled by dehumanization. When humans are able to see other human beings as less than human, they are able to treat them as less than human. This is, more or less, argued in Soren Kierkegaard’s Works of Love.…

    The article, “The Globalization of Animal Welfare: More Food Does Not Require More Suffering”, written by Miyun Park and Peter Singer, poses an important ethical argument. Within the reading, Park and Singer discuss the excessive mistreatment of animals. After reading the disgusting facts and information about this topic, I will argue that animals that are raised for food need better welfare because it will be beneficial to the animals and the consumers. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that any human species should not be excluded from moral concerns (Park and Singer 28).…

    Compassion is a word that links us to every human being in helping understand each other. Whether it is by religion, meditation, or community structures, compassion is the tike of it all. Compassion sees everything without a filter; it doesn’t acknowledge social statuses and religious barriers. It simply binds us together to form an alliance where we all feel sympathy and concern for the misfortune of others. Compassion acknowledges us to cry in pity and to cry as our reaction to tragedies of others and ourselves.…
