I do agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption. Many countries were founded on whaling including the United States. Whales provided a large resource of food, fuel and luxuries such as perfume. It is still a part of the United States ' culture as there are Native American tribes who still hunt to this day as part of their culture. If you take a moral stance against non-endangered whale hunting then you…

Sinister Motivation Ayn Rand’s book, Anthem raises the question what would life be like in a completely equal and unknowing world. In a society where there is no individualism and the Council of Vocations controls life; one man rises up and protests the ideas of this society. Equality 7-2521 learned rather quickly in the Home of Students, unlike the rest of them, he understood lessons before they were spoken; however this was considered a sin in society. Within the community no man is…

One of the most interesting symbols in Ayn Rand's book Anthem is the lack of "I." The main character, Equality 7-2521, lives in a society where there is no "me" or "my." There is only "we." This absence, the negation of the individual, is predicated on the idea that "It is a sin to think words no others think. . . . It is base and evil" (17). Even speaking "I" is an act punishable by death. Throughout this work, Rand draws on the absence of "I" in order to illustrate the overarching theme of…

Some argue that the group is redundant without first developing the individual. This is certainly Rand’s, and by extension Roark’s approach. The antagonist, Toohey promotes the…

Part A: Dystopia Essay In the novel Anthem by Ayn Rand the word “I” is lost and there is no individual because people are slaves to the society's system in which everyone's lives are being controlled by the government. The individual cannot survive in this world of Dystopia because it is a sin to set yourself apart from everybody else. In the novel it says: “To be free, a man must be free of his brothers. That is freedom. That and nothing else” (pg. 101). This quote shows the concept in which…

“To be free a man must be free of his brothers. That is freedom. This and nothing else” (101). These words proclaimed by the main character Equality 7-2521 in the novella Anthem by Ayn Rand show the dynamic realization made in conclusion to the character’s struggle. Throughout Equality’s mental journey in the story, he develops many thoughts such as these. Thoughts questioning his society and its morals. Thoughts questioning the very foundation of the world he lives in. “We are one in all and…

Creating Free Will and Individuality in an Oppressive Society In the excerpt titled “The Soul of an Individualist” from Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead she writes, “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time.” She also mentions these individual creators got nothing but hate in response for their…
