Honour

Why are you involved in social action? As young people, we have to live with the long-term consequences of the decisions others make on our behalf today. I became involved in social action because I believe that each one of us have the ability to make a difference to our local and wider community. What motivated you to get involved in social action? I have been interested in the issues surrounding climate change, for as long as I can remember. I am passionate about local food production,…

choice but to remove them both as a judgment against their behaviour, “Revenge is mine; honour doth love command” (5.5.86). Cutting out Annabella’s heart fulfils the marriage vows they made to “Love me, or kill me brother” (1.2.276) and recalls his declaration of having a heart on “which is writ the truth” (1.2.231). His revelations at the banquet act as a form of confession. Giovanni believes the murder is an honour killing and that he will be absolved, “Yes, I tell thee yes;” he replies to…

If a person’s choices involve being greedy or ambitious, things will not turn out well. A person’s tragic downfall is caused by his or her own free will and is enhanced by fatalistic imagery. Blood imagery, clothing imagery, and hand imagery are what help enhance the tragic downfall of Macbeth in William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. Macbeth is a noble person that becomes a cruel king due to his greed and ambition. Excessive ambition and greed will change a man’s personality. The sight of blood…

Since the day I have read it for the first time, I enjoyed Arthurian tales. With its plentiful, adventurous atmosphere, it 's English mythological creatures which is shown upon the pages, and its deep heroism that is really interesting, the story between Arthur and his knight of the round table has been really interesting each time I read it. But out of the all the story the one that I enjoy the most is the story of Gawain and the green knight. The reason why I enjoy this story out of the rest…

Silenced “The jury have found the defendant Guilty. James Williams, you’re sentence is 10 years imprisonment” The hardwood of the gavel hitting the block cracked into the air. It was final. “The court is adjourned.” *** The typewriter awaited like a trusty old friend. It’s keys were reassuringly heavy and mechanical. They danced to their own rhythm, as each crisp white sheet of paper became a work of art. “I saw poets erode into the darkness of America’s insecurities.” A work of…

Chivalry is designed to be a code of honor upheld by European knights. It is designed to make them live life the way God would direct them and to treat women with the utmost respect. An ideal example in most people’s minds would be the knights of the round table, but were they really all that chivalrous, and if they were was it for the right reasons? Lanval, Sir Gawain, Lancelot, and Arthur are the men that will be examined to see if the knights of the round table were ever truly chivalrous.…

Ethical issues involved in child labour According to the Deontological or Kantian tradition it is ethically incorrect to employ child labour because such practices violate our duty to treat children with respect. Rights of children are violated when we treat them as way of reaching the ‘end’ which is production and economic growth. Children are the victims of this malpractice since they cannot think rationally for themselves and they have not freely chosen to be a sweatshop worker.…

masculinity. Symbolic images that appear in the above examples of marriage portray the fact that it is a form of the language of power, gender, and sexuality. When designed and practiced properly by the society, however, marriage fosters dignity, honour, and cultural…

Owen uses tone to convey the brutality and bitterness of the many, young deaths as a result of the First World War. One example of his pessimistic attitude is evident in the title itself - ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’. The key words ‘doomed youth’ clearly capture that there was no hope for the fate of his generation, whose destiny, which awaited them, was just to die young. The oxymoronic title signifies that the war was so barbaric, death was an inevitable outcome of it. Another example of Owen’s…
