Regarding Henry's Journey
Henry’s Journey In the movie “Regarding Henry” a man named Henry gets shot in the head and suffers from major trauma that has him revert back to a child. Through the whole movie i pondered the same question, which came first, the Id or the super ego? Before Henry’s accident he was a very selfish lawyer, which shows the id. After the accident he acted like a child, still only thinking about himself. However, slowly through rehab and his family he started caring for others over himself, showing the super ego. I believe that Henry's natural state is the id, and that he slowly developed the super ego over time. There were a lot of scenes regarding Henry’s id, one particular is his “big case”. Before Henry’s accident, he was an outstanding lawyer

    Henry VIII is born in June of 1491 to Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Being the second born son of this time he is considered to be the spare, while his older brother Arthur will be the heir to the throne. Since Henry is the not as important second born son there are very poor records of his upbringing and education. With this is mind it might be safe to assume a very common practice for this period of time would have taken place. This practice would be that of forcing the spare into the church with the hopes that they would become a high-ranking church official. Ultimately, this does not come to fruition with the death of Arthur in April of 1502. Since his brother had passed Henry VIII now takes his place in the succession making him next…

    Thomas Wolsey was Henry's most important minister early in his reign. Wolsey became Archbishop of York in late 1514, was created a cardinal of the Catholic Church the following November, and became Lord Chancellor of the realm in December 1515. Wolsey achieved singular stature in these offices. Since Henry was not so interested in administration as his minister, Wolsey took over many of the duties of kingship, overseeing England's finances and diplomatic relations with other European powers. Henry became extremely dependent on Wolsey, whose zeal and ability as an administrator made him indespensable. Among Henry's contemporaries on the European continent, many considered Wolsey to be the true ruler of England, since it was to him that foreign officials were often directed to address concerns meant for the English king.…

    To an extent, Opposition to the religious reforms by Henry VIII wasn’t overly serious, the opposition did have some potential to cause damage but the danger was never severe enough to undermine the Tudor dynasty or threaten the omnipotent once of the “Most Christian King”. Opposition was only as serious as the support it had, which is why The Pilgrimage of Grace of 1536 was the most dangerous form of opposition. Henry ensured that disapproval from his kingdom would never threaten to undermine the longevity of the Tudor dynasty by using Cromwell’s key weapon: The Treason Act of 1534. This allowed Henry to eradicate any opposition that had potential to threaten Henry. The religious changes came to a halt in 1540, where Henry sends out a strong deterrent message by executing the architect of the religious changes, Cromwell.…

    Henry V Ethical Analysis

    • 645 Words
    • 3 Pages

    It has never been agreed upon that life is an absolute right, but only that death is the absolute outcome. Philosophers call it a prima facie right, this right gets forfeited in actions such as aggravated murder, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and other heinous crimes. However, the great western powers are on sure footing when it comes to this type of permitted murder, but a just war doesn’t make a total war acceptable. Williams Shakespeare’s play Henry V is loosely based upon England’s own ethical dilemmas in the early 1400’s. This is especially true when conflicting governments go into a war just because one side believes themselves to be in a just war the other may not.…

The short film tells a story of how Henry- a professional engineer and a semi-retired lobbyist- and his friend Jeff wanted to bring a major change in the transportation industry by introducing automated transport (Martin, P. 2010).
