.... matter at all, does the child ultimately become a product of their environment? In Jonathan Kozol's book Savage Inequalities, he speaks of children who are deprived of the right to a descent education. But how can this be the case. Is one school given more money than another? Funds for public schools come from property taxes. In wealthy communities where property values are generally higher more money is allocated, than in a poor communities with lower property values. The poorer communities tend to tax themselves higher than wealthy communities, yet they are still not able to reach the same quality of education. Most of these poor communities spend t .....

.... examples to support his theories, which in turn, apply to Pojman's five purposes for morality. Hobbes purpose to his state of nature philosophy was to describe human nature. He argues that, in the absence of social condition, every action we perform, no matter how charitable or benevolent, is done for reasons which are ultimately self-serving (p.43-47). For example, if I were to donate to charity, I am actually taking delight in demonstrating my power. Hobbes believes that any account of human action, including morality, must be consistent with the fact that we are all self-serving. His theory notes that humans are essentially equal, both mentally and physic .....

.... W.W.II made his struggle just a little bit harder, though. The aforementioned quotation is a summarization of Ichiro’s inability to find his identity. Many factors affected Ichiro’s struggle, including his experience of being born and raised in the United States, the Japanese influence of his mother, and his internal struggle dealing with his label as a “no-no boy.” Being a full blooded Japanese born in America was not an easy life. Especially considering the time period in which the novel takes place: Post World War II. Many Japanese-Americans were forced to make a choice at this time: Fight and possibly die for a country that would show them no respect a .....

.... when the action was the only solution available. Like buying the poison or getting money by offering china-painting classes. Life is sad and tragic; some of which is made for us and some of which we make ourselves. Emily had a hard life. Everything that she loved left her. Her father probably impressed upon her that every man she met was no good for her. The townspeople even state "when her father died, it got about that the house was all that was left to her; and in a way, people were glad being left alone. She had become humanized" (219). This sounds as if her father’s death was sort of liberation for Emily. In a way it was, she could begin to date .....

.... this proves to be an unfeasible objective because of present situations. Before Jay Gatsby left for the war, he was very much in love with Daisy. As he returns, Gatsby hopes to proceed with the relationship, and expects Daisy to drop her current role as a mother and wife. “Not seeing, no we couldn’t meet. But both of us loved each other all that time, old sport, and you didn’t know.” (138) In this statement, directed to Daisy’s husband, Gatsby speaks of the span of five years when Daisy and Gatsby were unable to see each other. Gatsby knows that Daisy is now married, but he feels that he can win Daisy from Tom, so that he could fulfill his dream. As b .....

.... home of the time. The mother seems alarmed or confused about something, "the nursery is...different now than it was", this at first might lead you to believe the mother has true individual characteristics. However, when you read on, you see the stereotyped reactions to every situation that comes about, the parents then say "nothing's too good for our children". Later in the story the parents discuss the problems of the incredible house and nursery, "The house is wife, mother, and nursemaid, Can I compete with it?", and the father has a generic answer "But I thought that's why we bought this house". The parents in the story look upon their children's ne .....

.... they must endure. The novella stands as a document against the imperialist practices -- Conrad was quite liberal for the time. The natives are referred to as “savages” several times throughout the story, but Conrad is not using any particularly strong words for the time. The European audiences who would be reading would not find anything racist about it. By today's more sensitive standards, such deference is more serious, but turn-of-the-century England was sure to expect far harsher. Educated people reading Conrad's novel should understand the differences between the past and the present, and be forgiving of his language. The deeper the expedition .....
