This distinctly American theory of survival of the fittest created by Charles Darwin sets the basis of social acceptance and power within a society. Many believed that being wealthy was apart of natural selection in which they were able to become superior to others. This idea is clearly shown through Lily’s lover, Selden’s thoughts when he ponders, “Was it possible she belonged to the same…

David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars, and John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, depicts the traditional, ever-so-proud, American society.

Race is an entirely arbitrary parameter by which to judge any human being, and it is detrimental to the advancement of our global society to do so in any fashion. Students across our nation are being held back by laws that were created on a foundation of racism and bigotry, which are supported by those who have been indoctrinated with such anti-logical dogma, rather than those who have analyzed their own ideologies and edited them when found to be lacking in any sort of intrinsic value. In the…

underlying tones such as political ideologies are reflected by the boys’ actions. However, as the novel progresses, it is clear that expansive symbols and motifs largely mirror attitudes of the boys and on a larger scale, closely resemble aspects of society necessary for growth and development. According to Bufkin, this novel contains an intricate network of interrelated symbols and images that, composing the texture of Lord of the Flies, enlarge and universalize…

Also these stories also use very powerful sense…

Upon recognizing how challenging it is to reconcile the tensions that arise in a modern liberal society as a result of cultural diversity, it becomes increasingly clear as to why Jean Jacques Rousseau conceptualized his ideal state as a homogenous one . That is not to say that cultural diversity is not valuable and should not be promoted, but rather that Rousseau, as many of us often are, was inclined to take the easy way out.
