...An essay about ”This is My Living Room” How much does it take before a man gets enough, enough of turning all of his surroundings into something bad? The narrator gives us an introduction to his life and he expresses life’s negative aspects through this short story. The theme of the story could be “Every man for himself” or “Every man is his own fortune”. These themes are reflected in the text as the narrator says: “People are as mean one place as they are another and they’re always out to get you”. Subsection “People”. “This is My Living Room” is a short story and it’s written by Tom McAfee in 1966. The story takes place in Pine Springs, Minnesota, in a neighborhood characterized by hostility and unreliability. But it highlights as well a family where old traditions are a part of the everyday life. This is reflected in the text when the narrator expresses his opinion about women and their rights. “Women are easier to handle. About the worst they can do is talk and what does that matter”. Subsection “People”. The narrator introduces himself as a smart man and a man that doesn’t believe in anyone but himself. He’s a man in late forties and between the lines; we can perceive him as a male chauvinist. There are likewise examples which describe him as a racist. “Niggers are better than anybody because you can handle them. They don’t hardly ever give you any trouble.” Subsection “People” His two girls Ellen Jean and Martha Kay are sixteen and fourteen years old. They are...

...Hannah Gandelman April.9, 2014 ENC1102 Literary Analysis on Hands by Sherwood Anderson The short story Hands by Sherwood Anderson is one of the twenty-two stories in the book Winesburg, Ohio. This story specifically focuses on the psychological trauma of a teacher after being falsely accused of molesting his male students. This alone brings up the topics of homosexuality and sex, which was considered scandalous at the time it was published in 1919.Although this is true, it did not stop the public from finding this piece of literature as fascinating. In Hands, Anderson’s form of symbolism, narration, and themes are what make this piece modern and unique. Anderson’s use of symbolism to help convey the meaning of the story is what keeps the reader interested and at the same time emotionally attached. Wing’s hands are the first and most obvious symbol of the entire story. They were first a source of inspiration and respect in town, but these same hands are the reasoning for his downfall, “They became his distinguishing feature, the source of his fame. Also they made more grotesque an already grotesque and elusive individuality” (250,251). Wing’s hands were his tools of communicating emotionally and literally, especially with his students. In the story Anderson states, “By the caress that was in his fingers he expressed himself”(252). Wing believed that by his touch he was instilling dreams into the minds of these young boys, “…the stroking of the shoulders and the touching...

...Change is both a vital and inevitable part of our lives, and has a powerful effect on people, their perspectives, and the world around them. Through their experiences, many characters in texts such as Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, and the film, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, directed by Mark Herman, undergo various changes and transformations, not only physically, emotionally and intellectually, but also in their understanding and perspectives of the world around them. Studying texts such as these provides the audience with valuable insight into the aspects of changing worlds, perspectives, relationships and selves, which they are then able to relate to their own lives. Characters in both To Kill A Mockingbird and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (hereafter referred to as Mockingbird and Pyjamas respectively) change their attitude to society’s notions of the superiority of certain races and religions over others, creating a valuable moral imperative through the historical nature of the texts. Harper Lee’s Mockingbird is set in the small American town of Maycomb amidst the 1930s civil rights movement, and is centred on Scout’s moral struggle when questioning the racism and discrimination present. At the start of the novel, Scout blindly follows the discriminatory beliefs of society, although as she experiences more of the world for herself, she begins to question the hypocrisy of society, “How can you hate Hitler so bad an’ then turn around and be ugly about folks...

...It can also be seen that belonging doesn’t just seem to affect ones’ notions of identity but also the people, culture and place surround the character. At the beginning of episode 4 of Redfern Now, when Joel first enters school and is conformed to sing the national anthem. There are tall people surrounding him which makes him seem more isolated out of the group. Moreover, when he has a conversation with the teacher for the first time, the hall is dark with insufficient lighting. It is also worth mentioning that there’s an open door of light in the hall, which symbolically suggests that Joel is going to have to overcome adversity to reach freedom. The point of view shot from the teacher’s perspective, suggests how superior the teacher is, as he has the power to alter Joel’s identity. After Joel’s suspension; his friends stand up for him as they do not sing for the national anthem. This scene clearly exhibits sturdily on how belonging clearly involves the nature around a character. His friends of the same culture, argue to bring Joel back to the school, as they belong to him and as he belongs to the school. The principle becomes more and more isolated throughout the episode and her identity seems to have changed the most, as she forcefully tries to alter Joel’s. The use of wide shots, close ups and non-diegetic sound support the indication of her being alienated. This gave both the characters a positive impact to one another, creating the feeling of freedom....

...life- both personal and professional. Though conflict sounds to be a negative word, engaging in conflict can have positive effect on relationship and organization as a whole. Positive aspects of conflict Conflict helps to know that problem really exists. If conflicts are not taken care of, it leads to disastrous condition but discussing conflicting views can lead to better solutions. It enhances relationship between counterparts. Working through disagreements and coming out on the better side draws people together. Their respect for each other strengthens and they know they can withstand disagreements. Conflict raises awareness of what is important to individuals. Though conflicts are challenging, it can be exciting as well. It encourages people to grow thereby managing the difficult situations. Also, conflict creates opportunity. Causes of conflict There are a number of different causes of conflict. The way our society is organized can create the root cause of conflict. In our society, people are treated unequally and unjustly which erupts conflict. In most cases, conflict arises when people’s beliefs clash. Religious and political views are sensitive because people often depend on these for a sense of identity and belonging. Sometimes it is caused by a religious or political group being attacked. In case of organization, it can arise when one person or party feels it lacks information or lack of resources. A work environment can be a stressful place, and it can be made worse...

...Cultural Relativism Cultural relativism, or CR, is the view that good and bad are determined by the beliefs of a society, or in other words, moral principles are based upon the culture’s collective norms of what is good and bad. Normality is culturally defined. This implies that morality is a social construct and therefore the moral codes you hold, are a direct reflection of the societies codes in which you live. Further, the morals held by your society are not objective facts, but rather, varied from culture to culture. Neither side is wrong in their belief, despite the fact they are different beliefs. Relativism argues that not passing judgments against cultures allows for a greater sense of cultural appreciation. We don't lock other cultures in judgments, but rather are tolerant and accepting of them. Cultural relativism teaches us to view other cultures with a nuanced outlook, and to not immediately assume (as many people do) that our own preferences are the absolute best ones. Many (though not all) practices, customs, and beliefs may seem odd or even repulsive, but they’re generally harmless as far as their ethical consequences. From the tolerance and open-mindedness offered by cultural relativism is a chance to learn about other cultures and ways of doing things. Opponents of cultural relativism offer some strong arguments against this theory. First, it doesn’t allow you to question society’s norms. In asking whether slavery was right or wrong, you would merely be asking...

...Portfolio Task 1: English Essay The Matrix and Chapter 28 of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe are two examples of conflicting texts that demonstrate opposing ways of viewing the world around us. The Matrix follows the views of an empiricist, set in a mental prison where people rely on their senses to an extent where they are completely oblivious to what is real. Chapter 28 of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe however focuses on a rationalist view through the character the Ruler of the Universe emphasising his day-to-day lifestyle and how he responds to what he conceives to be real. Although these texts present conflicting views upon the world, they are similar in the way they represent their ideas, and it is through these similarities that rationalism and empiricism maintain a conflicting existence. In the Matrix the director intentionally depicts Neo as being the embodiment of empiricism. The directors use of imagery through sombre lighting and choice of plain character costumes, lacking in brightness, colour and their ability to stand out portrays the world Neo is living in and by extension how he views it. This is also present in Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ at the beginning of chapter one where Alice feels bored and drowsy whilst sitting at the river-bank with her elder sister. In one scene Morpheus directly references Carroll by offering Neo the chance to discover what is real. “… You take the blue pill the story ends, you wake...

...http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2013/08/06/Are-the-Fast-Food-Workers-Right-About-Minimum-Wage Summary of the article: The article is focused in a current controversial issue that involves the fast-food industry and how right are their workers about increasing their minimum wage to $15. The article mentions how a basic living standard is what fast- food workers make to support themselves. The labor Bureau reported that 28 percent of core front-line fast-food workers regularly work 40 or more hours per week, compared to 75 percent of the country’s workforce as a whole. More than two-thirds of workers across the country are over the age of 20, and 68 percent are the main wage earners in their families, and more than a quarter of Americans working in fast-food restaurants are parents, raising at least one child. People who work in fast-food jobs are paid so little that having to rely on public assistance is the rule, rather than the exception, even for those working 40 hours or more a week. Fast food is a $200 billion-a-year industry. The wage for core front-line workers at fast-food restaurants nationally is $8.69 an hour. Only 13 percent of the jobs provide health benefits. The fast-food industry’s low wages and meager benefits, often accompanied by part-time. The article also explains that on the other hand the food industry could react differently to this demand reducing the headcounts. Eventually, putting pressure on those employers will emerge that have trained...

...A key strategy of the ACA was to increase access to care, which became possible through Medicaid expansion (Chesney & Duderstadt, 2013). Since the program’s implementation, the uninsured rate in California has dropped by nearly half. The policy was successful in providing equal chance of access to coverage, but it does not guarantee an equal chance of getting accepted by a physician’s practice. Physicians and hospitals frequently deny patients with Medicaid due to lower reimbursement rates compared to private insurance, but on the other hand, hospitals prefer some payment over none at all for costly emergency room services. Clearly, the equality for Medicaid expansion can be seen as complementary or conflicting depending on one’s perspective on the...

...handbook will discuss understanding conflicts, the different conflict management styles, and approaches to use to resolve conflicts. Understanding Conflict We cannot attempt to resolve a conflict until we fully understand conflict. Conflict is a normal and healthy part of relationships. When handled properly, conflicts can actually strength a relationship instead of destroying it. (Segal & Smith 2013) Many different things cause conflicts. Eight common causes of conflict are (Gatlin, Wysocki, & Kepner 2002): 1) Conflicting Needs – In the workplace, these needs could include resources, recognition, or power. (Gatlin, Wysocki, & Kepner 2002) 2) Conflicting Styles – People approach other people and problems differently because we are all individuals. We all need to understand our own style and how to accept the styles of others around us. (Gatlin, Wysocki, & Kepner 2002) 3) Conflicting Perceptions – People also have different perceptions and may view the same issue in dramatically different...

...belief in feminism. There are people that I’m close to that don’t quite understand what I’m saying and don’t agree with some of the aspects of feminism. Having this type of conflict in my life has taught me something really important: respect. Even if you disagree with what someone is saying, it’s so important to stay level headed in conversations with them on that subject. A lot of times, just because you speak the loudest, it doesn’t mean that you’re being heard. If you have respect for the person you’re talking to and stay calm, that person is going to have respect for you. You may not change their mind and they may not change yours, but you’ve shown them that while you disagree with them, you respect their point of view. Hopefully, they’ll respect your point of view too. But most importantly, even if people close to you disagree with your opinions, if you believe in your opinions and they’re important to you, do not let anyone ever make you feel bad for what you believe. Even if they disagree with you, no one has the right to say that your opinions aren’t...
