Grammatical person

No two people are the same. They have different clothes, hairstyles, and personalities. However, even external factors may affect people differently. People can be looking at the same painted wall, but might all see it as a slightly different hue. No two people perceive the world in quite the same way. Stephen King’s story Low Men in Yellow Coats shows this idea of varying realities. In the story, Bobby Garfield is an 11-year-old boy who lives with his mother, Liz Garfield, in a small boarding…

a hero is someone who prevails through the adversity and reaches the peak of the mountain through their inner courage. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone harry and his friends show heroism through their journeys and obstacles. When the average person thinks of a hero they usually think of a superhero that goes out and fight crimes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman, but not all hero’s wear capes. There are multiple types of hero’s in hero myths such as the classic hero and the anti-hero…

Privacy is a state that provides a barrier from the world outside and puts an individual in control of the information they want to present to the masses. However, one question that has lingered since the conventional times and that is “what we want to keep private and what we want to make public” (Singer, pg 59.); where should be the line drawn. This debate is discussed by Peter Singer in Visible Man Ethics in a world without secrets. One of the points he makes is that privatization is a…

L8r, G8r Banned or Not? The name of the book I have chosen is “L8r, G8r” by Lauren Myracle. The book is about three girls named Zoe, Maddie, and Angela. They are high school seniors dealing with the pressure of graduating high school together, and going their separate ways. A large number of people think this books should be banned due to religious reasons and adult content, along with bad behavior by the teenagers. My personal opinion is that this book should be banned for many reasons that I…

Isolation. Self-destruction. Desolation. When societal influences become that little voice planting doubt in the mind, the line between personal values and the cultural normalcy become blurred. The influence of those around us becomes the only thing that is discernible. When society is working against personal values, self-isolation becomes an appealing choice. Alienation provides the main characters in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and William Shakespeare’s Othello with their motivation,…

this might take place in real-world scenarios. Lessing is so convincing throughout her article that she has made me a believer in how individuality is starting to take form as an outcast member of society rather than someone bravely being their own person and making their separate decisions based upon their beliefs. Lessing provides valid points that any reader can understand and possibly even relate to. She develops every point with abundant detail that portrays a picture of the real world as…

Anyone who saves someone or something is called a hero meaning murderers, criminals, ordinary people could be heroes. These individuals get recognized as a hero just because of their one deed. They step up once and are assumed heroes. Some of those men and women could be anti-heroes, as in heroes lacking heroic qualities. This does not mean a hero has to do something drastic to be a hero; it simply means not everyone is a hero. A hero is a concrete or abstract entity who/that influences a life…

After reading and viewing the mob mentality pieces, I conclude that people in mobs lose control of what is morally right. For example, Edmonds writes, mobs follow the other mob members, because they are “emotional” and “angry.” She also says “it only takes one act of violence to whip the crowd into a fury.” Mob members can be furious, bitter, or enraged. When people are so angry, they do not always think about what they are doing before they proceed to do it. “Being a part of a group can destroy…

One of the most uncertain things that all humans face is their real identity. This difficulty has caused a lot of confusion about who we really are and how we become our own person. There are many different theories to how people can identify themselves, but Social Identity Theory is the most viable and reasonable. This theory claims that people become who they are based on experiences and life lessons due to their surroundings. They believe that one’s own experiences will cause them to shape…

known for their entire life or it could also be a person that someone has encountered only one time in their entire lives. Regardless of the amount of time, each person affects those that they meet in different ways. Those that one meets throughout life can usually be categorized into one of two groups: primary and secondary. Each category has its own benefits and can influence a person in completely different ways. One group that nearly every person on the planet has the opportunity to…
