name a few. He even reflects on human nature which is the topic for which I have chose to write this paper. In the same chapter Nietzsche analyses the human nature when he says “Under peaceful conditions a warlike man sets upon himself.” (Nietzsche, 81). This psychological observation of the human condition reflects the tendency of violence that we all posses. Well, we aren’t all warlike and Nietzsche doesn’t really…

worse than others, but they are still people. This experiment was neccessary to bring to light the barbarity of prison conditions . It showed that this barbarity could have disturbing and inintended consequences. It also revealed much about human identity and nature. This information could not have been obtained any other way, and it can be used to improve and protect the human condition. How far are we willing to go to pursue the greater good? Everyone knows that this question carries dark…

a deep agitation in Job’s previously secure philosophy. Although these forms of suffering are diverse, they are easily unified by an underlying theme integral to the human condition. These hardships each produce some form of isolation for Job, a rift between him and the rest of the world, which leads to his desolate condition.…

as human can yearn for, whether it be from family, friends or a relation with more of an intimate intent. Through personal experiences and beliefs, along with the reading of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in class and personal readings of the Human Condition by Hannah Arendt, I came to the conclusion that a person cannot reach their full potential, find happiness or simply live without some type of human connection or love in their hearts. With love in our hearts we can thrive and grow, when love…

of anyone who were different in any way, shape, or form, namely those who didn’t look, act, or belong with them. For them, the ability to be cautious towards “the other” could very much have been the difference between life and death. The human condition has been prevalent in our society since the rise of the Homo species. It has been the silent voice in the back of our mind and it has been instrumental in shaping our actions and ourselves throughout history, and even today. Stains, In Cuba I…

“We 're still in the first minutes of the first day of the Internet revolution.” -(Scott cook) We now live in a digital world comfortable with the technology we obtain, but we rarely think of the impact it has on the human race. Technology redefines the human experience by creating a digital divide between the screen, society, and ourselves. The overuse of technology is correlated with personality disorders, such as the inability to have personal relationships and a need for instant…

Tsukuru Tazaki is a builder. His name, meaning “to make” and his profession as an engineer is indicative of that. Though Tsukuru’s name is in absolute correlation with himself, he experiences an overwhelming discontent associated with his name, a discontent attributed to the fact his name is not a color. Tsukuru believes he is colorless, empty, meaningless, while his cohort of high school friends, each graced with a name of color, depict genuine meaning and purpose for existence. When said…

Murdoch approaches a number of issues but does not raise any of them to a level that can be considered as an absolute truth. From the title of the book, she does not explicitly take a truthful position of the meanings of the novel’s title. Other incidents that are falsely represented are Bradley Pearson’s initials, which do not help to identify the wretched truth hero at the peak of the evil. She seems to heavily borrow from Plato’s idea that the world of every day life is an illusion with a…

one must absorb the complete breadth of wisdom that Sinclair Ross has imparted in this, what is surely one of the greatest pieces of Canadian literature of all time. One property of this prominent, small-time opus is the grand scale of the human condition it takes a brief study on. The experience of humanity takes upon itself many forms and facets, and this novel is a prime example of such experiences; even if not primarily evident at first. Another example that can validate the station of this…

On display in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art are two works painted within about a decade of each other. At first glance, they seem to have little in common other than the fact that they each depict four human beings. One would not expect to be able to draw a meaningful commonality between the two based solely on this, and if the viewers make their observation merely on the surface level of the works, they will not. However, the existence of these two sets of people, the essence of humanity…
