Hypocrisy

The vast compilation of ideas is the oil that fuels this society. These ideas give light to the multiple paths we may choose to follow in life. This country when it was still a collection of colonies managed to choose the path of hypocrisy that would cause the infant country to deal with a two century problem of racism and discrimination. The irony of establishing a country where “All men are created equal: instills slavery is disappointingly astounding. We see this as the darkest moment in…

Woman had to be seen as respectable in society while the males could do anything they wanted. This idea is present in the juxtaposition of Mrs. Warren and Reverend Samuel Gardner. At first glance, Reverend Gardner seems like a likeable character, but upon further inspection it becomes clear that he lives his life in denial. Reverend Gardner lives off the church as much as possible, does the least amount of charitable acts as possible, and is also a heavy drinker in secret. Reverend Gardner…

The hypocrisy of the American Dream is as obvious as the Sears Tower in the Chicago skyline. Many people are looking for this so called dream when in reality it is a false misconception. The American Dream is most commonly defined as a life with financial stability, home ownership with a white picket fence, a family and possibly a golden retriever if you’re lucky. Some still believe the American Dream to be alive and well but in reality, that dream is gone. In its place, we find more and more…

‘Tartuffe’ has officially become a word. The definition in English is ‘a hypocritical pretender to piety’. This essay will examine Moliere’s masterpiece as displaying the ultimate example of such hypocrisy in the service of affected piety. The thesis of the essay is that in Tartuffe Moliere uses hypocrisy and superciliousness to critique segments of his society. What moral and ethical issues does the play raise? The two most important characters are obviously Tartuffe himself and Orgon. While…

authority of man, but to have only the law of nature for his rule.” It seems like Locke is against slavery, but he contradicts himself when he later justifies some form of slavery, such as slavery applied to prisoners of war. I will argue that Locke’s hypocrisy concerning slavery contradicts his own philosophical position. He does this by changing the word to a…

dislikes, he believes that he can do everything because he is wealthy. Sadly, it is partly true, Tom won Daisy’s heart using his money, and Gatsby can not win her back no matter how hard he tries. Lower class people may try to avoid this kind of hypocrisy, some will also be jealous, and some will look down to it. Meanwhile the Elites are reluctant to the equality between poor and rich, they go against the poor in different ways. For instance, Tom despises blacks, he said "Civilization is going…

When it comes to public speaking, I am the furthest thing from an expert. Although, after many years and classes of communications I would say that I have a pretty good idea of the do’s and don’ts when it comes to presentations. Hypocrisy should be my middle name because even though I know what to look for in a presentation I still am a terrible speaker. In my opinion, the speaker Phil Han would receive a six out of ten. This score is based off of a number of things including content, public…

I can see how vegans feel that there's a lot of hypocrisy regarding beliefs and attitudes that relate to animal well-being. But it seems unfair and shortsighted to assume that everyone who eats meat basically doesn't care about animals, imo. I'm omni, and I openly admit that I have no issue with the…
