A Study in Temperament We live in a materialistic society with people controlled by money and what they can accomplish with it. Every individual on this planet exemplifies a cog in the wheel of progress, as Charlie Chaplin asserts in his popular film Modern Times that we live to do what others want in order to survive. Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case” illustrates the story of a suicidal young man who was surrounded by a grim environment not suitable to his liking. Cather illuminates the…

some people are so reluctant to change that they resort violence and brute force in order to shape things into their image whenever something that they say is wrong starts to occur. They are only interested and care about what they want to see is “right” day to day. The way we approach people who are gay or transgender is outright ridiculous and ignorant which can easily be added to the millions of other situations where ignorance has occurred in history. Who’s to say that they aren’t people…

Vivienne Cass had created a theory of identity development which was developed in 1979. It consists of six stages that people will go through trying to identify themselves. The stages are identity confusion, identity comparison, identity tolerance, identity acceptance, identity pride and identity synthesis. Some people might go through a previous stage at different points in their lives. I believe I have gone through almost all of these stages. Throughout my life I have gone through these…

Growing up, I was always the “black sheep” of any group I tried to identify with. I was the “black sheep” of my family – Majority of my family members were Christians, I am an atheist. My immediate family enjoyed Top 40 music (which is fine), but I wanted to branch out; I wanted to learn and enjoy music more than anyone ever did. I was the first person in my family to play an instrument, and later learned two more instruments. The majority of my family members were heterosexuals, there may have…

To communicate the truths of history is an act of hope for the future-Daisaku Ikeda. The influence of history greatly affect literature and how we view it compared to other times. By using the historical/topical theory we bring to light how the major issues, circumstances that produced it, and main aspect of the book were influenced by the time period it was wrote in. The major issue in “a streetcar named desire” is the idea of sexuality. Sexuality is defined as being a person’s sexual…

Court Rooms are a place where everything can be changed in the matter of seconds. In my experience, court rooms are always packed with people who have no idea what really happened. In the movie, “And the Band Played On,” the court room they perceived was a lot like one I am familiar with. The room was packed, there was a lot of yelling, and not much of any kind of compromise was made. One of the actors says that the only reason the people were there was for money. That is something very familiar…

example of the struggle to attain certain civil liberties and rights can be seen in the gay rights movement. Over time, many people have spoken out against the unjust treatment of the LGBT community. They have been subject to a lot of discrimination and harassment and only in recent years has that begun to change. Recently, gay marriage has been legalized in the United States, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the fight is over. The gay rights movement has had several victories in the past, but…

After completing this assignment I realized that “right speech” is a universal ethical, moral and religious disciple because in order for a person to be at ease with the world and themselves that person must know how to control their thoughts and their speech. I believe that this is a religious disciple…

that it’s a common soft violence exist in the society. People just can’t think outside the box. In addition, sexual stigma has negative effect for sexual and gender minority people. Dr. Herek believe that there are many negative effects for the LGBT people who experience violence. Violence will increase victims’ mental pressure, and also create a subjective sense of threat. These will motivate them to engage in a variety of proactive behaviors to protect themselves from possible sexual stigma…

Reasons for Choosing Social Work Playing dress up as a child is supposed to be fun. Children pretend to be things they want to be; including adults; without ever mulling over what adults do. Adults work, get paid, do adult things. Children may not know what any of this really means, but to them, adults may seem to have more freedoms than they do. While many limitations placed on children are protective, many adults use those limitations to abuse children. Abuse was not something unfamiliar at…
