Promoting well-being is vital in the aspect of trying to become happy. So, regardless of how happy a person is in their life, nearly everyone has room for improvement. Therefore, assessing overall well-being is done by evaluating how satisfied an individual is with the variety domains of their life. So how do we specifically measure our well-being? We do so with two concepts: bottom-up and top-down theory. When perceiving the bottom-up theory, the individual will focus on changing the…

As discussed in Erikson’s stage of development, a stage is complete once the individual has achieved their crisis or in this case once the adolescent has achieved a healthy identity. As it relates to adolescents in foster care, youth have impaired self-identity due to outside forces, thus allowing the youth to have no control over their own environment. Such forces like social media make it hard for others to view these particular individuals in a positive light. Previous stigmas created by…

The Stranger, Albert Camus’ debut novel, illustrates and reflects the view of absurdity of life using the main character, Meursault, as a catalyst. On a surface level, absurdism is perceived through Meursault alone. However, on a deeper level through Meursault, other characters act as a source of absurdity as different situations are forced upon them. Camus achieves this level of complexity by creating and establishing Meursault as a very absent and undistinguished main character, who holds no…

1204 What is the function of societal expectations within the confines of the text?

The purpose of these societal expectations within the text is to cultivate a characterization of Meursault and show how that characterization reinforces the existentialist and absurdist concepts present. Throughout the text, there are a multitude of situations in which…

In The Meursault Investigation, Kamel Daoud, takes off from where Camus’ The Stranger leaves us. He explores the aftermath of that book. While Camus’ story takes place from the point of view of the French in Algeria, Daoud’s story looks at the Arab experience and its result, the main characters wind up in much the same place. It could be that Daoud is telling us that not only are the European and Arabs much alike, there paths will eventually lead them to the same place, despite all their…

the opportunity to scientists throughout the Progressive Era to make new discoveries. For example, in 1878 physicist Albert A. Michelson first measured the speed of light; this later played an important role in Albert Einstein’s 1905 development of the “The Special Theory of Relativity”. In 1907, Albert Michelson became the first Nobel Prize winner from the United States ("Albert A. Michelson"). Among the other significant breakthroughs were the discovery of moons orbiting Mars and Jupiter, the…
