It is safe to say that we are not all liars in adoration. We lie since we would prefer not to hurt our other half. Harmless embellishments are a sure method to escape certain circumstances that don’t affect the other. We do this to ensure different people’s sentiments or our own don’t get hurt. These falsehoods are known as white lies. Innocent exaggerations are ' a harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.' Throughout this...

Budda once said, “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared”. Happiness is a special feeling of joy and gratitude when positive things occur in life. Indicating that happiness can come in different ways for many people, however, that long-lasting emotion is more important because it’s indicated that you are contributing to something much greater than yourself. That contribution is valuable because...

Once while waiting to be picked up after school at a store parking lot, I was standing alone texting my mom that I had arrived. A nice, old lady, carrying bursting bags of groceries, changed her route to her car and came over to me instead. She asked if I was okay or needed anything and I told her that I was alright. She nodded and smiled, then walked away. She probably never thought of it again, it was just...

Representation is created by humans, and it is impossible for humans to be completely objective, which is why there cannot be unbiased representations of the world. Therefore, I agree with what Richard Dyer said that “representation never 'gets' reality” to a large extent. Representation only can show part of reality at most, and it can easily be seen from the news that media construct reality rather than depict reality. This essay will discuss the relationship between representation and reality, and...

The reason or reasons for which Meursault accepts his death at the conclusion of 'The Stranger' are many and they are complex. To argue that he accepted his death for the truth suggests that he saw some benefit to the world by staying true to himself. As a textbook example of an existentialist, however, Meursault does not believe that any of his actions, regardless of the moral foundations they are based upon, will have any real effect on the world....

In his Republic, Plato brings to life the main character of Socrates (Plato’s real-life teacher and role model) and explains to the reader his own personal views on how a virtuous and most importantly just city would become a reality. In depicting his perfect city-state, a society ruled by an aristocratic philosopher-king, Plato additionally makes note of...

Prior to the beginning of this semester, my understanding of happiness was profoundly influenced by my own family and my close friends. My original interpretation of complete happiness would mean having a financially stable life with a good job, a house, and the ability to fulfill all my materialistic desires. I mainly believed that the key to happiness was wealth as that would mean that I could get anything I want and do anything I want. Before starting this course,...

In the next session, the role of the teacher will involve facilitating discussions surrounding the trip that took place. In doing so, children can share their ideas of particular artworks or processes using art and design terminology which would, in turn, fulfill one of the NC aims (2013). The discussion will also allow children to be critical and gain a deeper understanding of the multiple perspectives that the arts promote (Eisner, 2002). Toward the end of the discussion, children will...

This simple life-changing truth changes a few lives due to people’s narcissism. We are divided because we perceive ourselves to be different and our perception becomes reality, we are divided because the complexities of one's stories are turned into sound bites; instead of being exemplified by their stories, they became characterized into a single word. Where a black child becomes a thug, Asians become terrible drivers, blondes are just dumb, and Hispanics are aliens who don’t belong. It comes to...

Historians and Philosophers speculate that Aristotle wrote more than 200 separate works, of those around 30 survive. While his former teacher and colleague Plato wrote in a more poetic way, Aristotle writes in a more systematic textbook way. Therefore, a lot of parsing and unpacking of the text is required to understand what Aristotle is saying. Aristotle (384 BCE - 322 BCE) was from Stagira, (not Athens) in Macedonia (northern Greece). He was a student of Plato and taught in...

Through careful analysis I have found the true meaning of sacrifice, how it is related to other themes like rebellion and love, and what the author is trying to tell us. The book The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins revolves around many different themes, importance, main messages, and values. But, today one of the themes I will be discussing is sacrifice. Without this important element, sacrifice, The Hunger Games would not have the same effect and outcome as it...

The world-renowned author Stephen King once said: “It is better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost”. Throughout the novel ‘Lord of the Flies’, Golding suggests that being evil has more moral consequences than being virtuous, but one must sacrifice their comfort for the greater good to take a stance with righteousness. This is evident when Piggy decides to go face Jack to get his glasses back, when Ralph loses Piggy at Castle Rock,...

The grandmother in ‘A Good Man Is Hard to Find’ is the protagonist and considers herself morally superior to the other characters in the story. She often and freely passes judgment on...
