Fielder's choice

degraded inventions and individuality could not exist. From the beginning of society, people push others to pursue a practical career corresponding to the time period. Positions focusing more on left brained individuals are portrayed as a practical choice, while positions focusing more towards the right brain are viewed as unrealistic and dead ends. An acting career is believed to be very impractical even though many well loved stars exist; therefore, those who pursue acting are thought to be…

Groceries or the newest iPhone? Rent or the next concert? College tuition or a trip to Europe? Regularly, decisions similar to the ones before are made on a constant basis. In an ideal world, the choices wouldn't seem so difficult to pick from; buy what one needs now and apply the leftover money for pleasurable activities. This adds to the process of consumerism, the basic element that makes a country run by its people buying and selling goods. Then again, the world isn't flawless, and most…

In the poem “XIV” Emily Dickinson shines a light on the rising search for independence, jurisdiction, and escaping the tyranny of conformity. Motivationally stating that she has “stopped being theirs,” (1) Dickinson awakens the need for individuals, most importantly women, to stand up against the fate chosen for them by society and to fight to forge and discover their own path to take in the ever winding road of life. Wielding a swift amount of metaphors, Diction, alliteration, and Dickinson…

Choices are well known due to their ability to affect lives. Choices are sometimes loved and other times, detested. Choice, however, always leads to two ideas. Those ideas are community and identity. Those ideas are even visible in the novel A Long Walk to Water, in which the real-life protagonist Salva walks away from the Sudan civil war and later founds Water for South Sudan. Children that walk to school, as shown in the film On the Way to School also understand these ideas. But how? Choices…

Clifford on the importance of collecting evidence before making any choices, I am in agreement with James as well on believing that there are situations where it is impossible to choose on intellectual grounds only. It is impossible for everyone to make choices based on rationale always and everywhere. While it seems simple to make choices based on evidence and not on belief all the time and if that is not possible, then not to make a choice at all, this constant skepticism could very well turn…

Our lives are defined by the decisions we make. Whether that be what to eat for breakfast or what college to go to, every choice that is made defines us as a person and it affects the people surrounding us. Our beliefs make one of the largest impacts in our life. They dictate every choice we make. Our choices and beliefs don’t have a right or wrong, becoming an issue of why we decide to put our faith in something. In Antigone, Sophocles’ contrasting characterization demonstrates Antigone’s…

Pre-determination, and Self-revelation,” Shahidullah Fridi argues on various aspects of the free will of man. He states “man’s freedom of will and freedom of choice is proved by experience, which is confirmed as true by the Word of God (217).” In other words, on Earth, man has a choice of a path to take, the right or wrong with his own free choice and will, however it is always confirmed to be true by God. Whichever path is taken, they are to receive the effects and consequences, positive or…

The Road Life is all about decisions and mistakes. Have you ever been lost in the woods, is it easy to take the wrong path? Yes, and once people get so far down it and make all of these turns, its hard to find their way back when it's the wrong path. Robert Frost did not know what road was better. Sometimes in life people do not know the right path and sometimes they look equally as good, but they will have to test them. He took the one less traveled, how do you tell which one is good and…

Journeys are a key part of life, but arriving at the destination is not the part that matters, the journey itself is the key influential part of life. John Steinbeck and Robert Frost reflect this idea within their texts; Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and Frost's 'The Road Not Taken' and 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'. All of these texts explore journeys and different impacts of fear and regret which has lead the audience to consider that the destination and arrival doesn't, in fact, matter…
