This clearly shows an example of how destructive shame can be on someone’s life. Some people can overcome shame and redeem them selves but to other people it can destroy their whole life. Another character form the book that experiences the tragedy of shame is Baba. Thru out the book it is revealed to us that Hassan is also Baba’s son. Baba feels ashamed of being Hassan’s father because he kept it a secret to everyone for all this time.
"Attitudes towards the homeless have gone from indifference to pitying to hatred," says Kozol. He made his point very clear; people who do not understand homeless people and their individual situations are ignorant and have no real empathy to the struggles they face on a day to day basis. Author describes heartbreaking situations; how people avoid touching the hands of the homeless people while giving them money, how Amtrak officials do not let them use the bathroom, and how homeless woman dies of pneumonia just because ambulance was not called in Grand Central. Without understanding, there is no compassion; Kozol emphasizes this main theme throughout the essay. This article just hit my heart and made me feel very emotional.
The members of the community who did have syphilis were denied actual treatment and were forced to live through the effects of the disease until death came. They were lured by the promise of a “special free treatment” that were actually spinal tabs conducted without any anesthesia. Spinal taps were used to sty the neurological effects of syphilis. This study was unethical, by the way it was conducted. The denial of syphilis treatment to these men and the USPHS seeking to prevent treatment to the ones’ seeking treatment was morally wrong.
They assume that I should be just as able-bodied as them since they can’t “see” my disability and use oppressive words like lazy and ‘no good for nothing’ which only leads to further denigration of an already awful feeling. It also makes me feel even more isolated and alone because I internalize the oppression and my negative self-talk continues to tell me that I am the only one who truly understands. This form of oppression is what stopped me from reaching out to get help for my mental illness for many years. The stigma (negative stereotype) of mental illness which we are often led to believe through outlets like the media, caused me to fear what others may think about me and so I didn’t speak to anyone about my mental health until it was so unmanageable that I had to be hospitalized. Before that, I lived many years with the debilitating symptoms of depression and anxiety without any medical or therapeutic intervention.
The Outsider: Theme When one does not follow society’s expectations, he or she can be judged negatively by others is a theme in The Outsider. In the novel, Meursault is judged by society because of his response to circumstances around him. Meursault is sentenced to death because society cannot accept his behaviour and his actions. His detachment from the outside world and his actions were what caused Meursault’s execution. Meursault’s detached personality is first shown when he showed no emotion at his mother’s funeral and how he did not know his mother’s age: “I [Meursault] hadn’t wanted to see mother, hadn’t cried once and I’d left straight after the funeral without paying my respects at her grave.” (86).
Also, the idea was very slow to be accepted because many people such as inoculators were opposed to it because they thought they would lose business and people thought that something could go wrong or they could die, so they didn’t want to use it. The Royal Society also didn’t want to accept it because they didn’t know Jenner as he was only a country doctor and because sometimes it worked, but them sometimes; unfortunately, it didn’t work and people died from it. On the other hand, a reason why he was so important was the fact that Jenner was responsible for getting rid of a huge killer disease, known by the name of smallpox. So, this saved many lives, as when the government strictly enforced that the vaccination was compulsory, the number of deaths rapidly decreased. He also had the government support and was the first public health programme to be supported by the government, so a lot of people then supported him He used many scientific methods to show the vaccine in progress.
By Matsuo Basho|My Original Piece:“The porcelain knob With beautiful blemishesLite up the dark world”By Simran Patel| Explanation of How Form Affects Theme In Matsuo Basho’s poem, the closed form haiku, affects the theme in multiple ways. Since the haiku is a short poem and only has a certain amount of syllables, it creates a mysterious aspect to the poem as not many details can be given. The author chose to use the vague form of a haiku for a reason, as it does not give enough detail to paint a picture of the character. In this sense the haiku can be interpreted in multiple ways and is easier to relate to, in regards to the theme of isolation. The haiku can relate to the possible isolation of the reader as it does not have enough lines and syllables to specifically describe who the character in the poem is.
This never helps the poor look like normal people because the society starts hating them. There are always stories covered about the poor which sometimes even trick me. (need some evidence...to be researched........) Sometimes the media makes the poor look really good. A great example is Ted Williams who was homeless, a drug addict and an alcoholic but had a
For example, after the post nuclear holocaust, the Waknuk community were “afraid” of the change in the community, so they treated badly anyone who looked different. As a result of the oppression forced upon coloured people stifled their human spirit. This was demonstrated both in the book and historically in America.
I wanted to blame them for my sick dog and for all the other sickness in the world.” Although he doesn’t want to blames his parent and their previous generation to have born in a poor situation, he doesn’t have any order choice. On page 13, Junior writes “Poverty doesn’t give you strength or teach you lessons about perseverance. No, poverty teaches you how to be poor”. He means that the poverty just
