    As shown in the essay, in section of the three metamorphoses by Nietzsche thus spoke Zarathustra, the spirit are represent by a camel, a lion and a childIn my discussion, I chose to write about one of the most popular books of Nietzsche's, thus spoke Zarathustra by the time of the nineteenth century. The book entitled on the topic of the three metamorphoses. Where the spirit of the three metamorphoses is a camel, a lion, and a child.

In other words, the first stage is a camel who is a believer and a follower of God. After, the second stage is a lion who is master of his own rules and not scared of saying no. Eventually, the third stage is a child who is a creator of new values of knowledge. Through all my explanation, I will argue about several things in my paragraphs which are about their definitions, their symbols, and their transformations. In the opinion of Nietzsche, the very first step that a person should take to become a man is a camel. Also, he is just the only spirit between the three metamorphoses who has the strength to carry a heavy weight of burdens that God told him to have it. For example: "What is difficult, O heroes, ask the spirit that bear much, that I may take upon myself and exult in my strength?"(32). Additionally, when an individual becomes same as a camel, he actually doesn't follow their own…

Even though Zarathustra does not…

    or prosperity may be different; however, the origin of this success is the same. The people who suffer are able to use that suffering to produce better outcomes and experiences. In the absence of suffering, there are no lessons to be learned and no reason to reflect on alternatives. To suffer does not only mean to experience physical pain, but it can also mean to experience emotional pain or be extremely displeased of a current situation. To suffer is to be discontent, and one must do anything…

    Even using Brokeback Mountain as a Hollywood film example of how sexuality is shown in the media, Rodger Streitmatter’s, “From Perverts to Fab Five: The Media’s Changing Depiction of Gay Men and Lesbians”, states, “In a country that makes not just a virtue but a fetish of rugged individualism-and set against the most identified virtue, Brokeback Mountain strikes a deep and haunting chord, showcasing the story of people who for no good reason are not allowed to love their lives as they would.…

Associating negative words with homosexuality is a way of skewing the results, in my opinion. I am proud of the results I got because I do not know very many gay or lesbian people and I never really grew up having any friends come out. I can count the number of gay people I personally know on one hand. I learned from this that if…

    Roger Spottiswoodes’ powerful film And the Band Played On is one that delves into the serious issues of its time regarding a new, unknown disease, which is eventually labeled as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
