    Summary And Analysis Of Susan Griffin's Our Secret

    World War 2 wasn 't just a war, it was a wake-up call. The people of the world were confronted with the face of true evil, and had to accept the harsh reality that our fellow man can commit atrocities beyond comprehension. The events of the war not only cause us to gasp in horror, but also make us reflect on how such evil could originate in the first place. In order to understand how such a disaster could ever take place, one must take a deeper look at the human psych; this is the basis behind Griffin 's work, Our Secret. In this collection of stories and reflections, the author does not just focus on one key aspect of man’s nature. Our Secret is littered with a myriad of topics such as child upbringing, societal stereotypes, and psychological development. Some are evident at first glance, while for others it is necessary to read through Griffin’s work several times before you catch them. In a way, reading this essay was like solving the picture puzzles I used to love as a kid. You…

    Among The Hidden Analysis

    There are several similarities between China’s one child law and Among the Hidden. China had to put the one child law on because they had limited food. China can now have 2 children but it used to be one. In the book Among the Hidden you can have 2 children. In China if you have more than 2 children you have to pay a fine or the extra child is euthanized. They way that some people avoid this in China is that they are rich and they can pay the fine. In Among the Hidden the Barons pay the fine or they get a fake I.D. In China the extra child doesn’t get an education or an I.D. If they don’t have an education they can’t get a job or have health care. In Among the Hidden they have to hide and they get no education, in conclusion I think that it…

    Karen Horney's Analysis

    Karen Horney defines a basic anxiety as insidiously increasing, all pervading feeling of being lonely and helpless in a hostile world” (Horney, 1937, p.89). When a child experiences basic anxiety they can develop self defense mechanisms. These self defense mechanisms can become very common throughout the child’s life. So common in fact, that they become a permanent part of one’s personality and become a neurotic need. Horney developed a list of ten neurotic needs that could be categorized into three neurotic trends: moving towards other people (the complaint personality), moving against other people (the aggressive personality) and movement away from other people (the detached personality) (Shultz & Shultz, 2013, p.164). An apparent connection can be drawn between Horney’s neurotic trends and Timothy Keller’s chapter “The Seduction of Success” in his book Counterfeit Gods. According to Keller, “a sign you may…

    Dorothy Allison's Context Analysis

    While I was reading the passage Context, by Dorothy Allison, I realized that I the just like her I had been judged just because I was a Latin woman. In fact I had went though something so similar because of many traditions my family has had. Just like Allison, when her lover called her families’ accent a “dialect,” my family was called crazy simply because we like to hold massive parties to celebrate or the way our family spoke to one another. (Paragraph 3,Allison) The reason why I relate so well with this passage is because I too don’t believe in being judge just by seeing or hearing certain things. I believe that if you should job me, or my family, it shall be after you have gotten to know the real us. This is why I will let you know the time I was judged for “wasting my parents money,” on an event that I will always cherish throughout my life.…

    Our Secret Susan Griffin Analysis

    “Now that you have started reading this essay, you and I are now connected by a web of connections.” This is what Susan Griffin, author of “Our Secret”, a chapter taken from Griffin’s insightful book A Chorus of Stones, most likely would have declared. Griffin argues that, “all of us, especially all of us who read her essay - are part of a complex web of connections” (265). But how are people who do not even know each other connected? Griffin implies that people are part of a “larger matrix” and have a “common past” (265). The “common past” between people that Griffin asserts can be proved by examining the unique underlying comparisons and analogies she applies in the chapter. “Our Secret” is a collection of Griffin’s own life story and the life stories of others, including Heinrich Himmler, Heinz, a painter, a friend, Holocaust survivors, a homosexual man, and her sister. She even uses RNA and cells as analogies to indicate how even the materials that compose people have similar functions to people themselves. Although people may question how…

    Summary Of Cathy Newman And Jordan Peterson

    There was a recent interview with British presenter Cathy Newman and Jordan Peterson that took place on the Channel 4 News. Newman took quotes from Peterson’s new Book “12 Rules For Life” for a basis of the conversation that they could talk about throughout the interview. This is perfectly fine but the way Cathy Newman uses language is not close to a formal interview but rather to attack Peterson without any logical reason. Gender was the main point of discussion throughout this interview. The first opening questions that was said in the interview was “Jordan Peterson, you’ve said that men need to, quote, ‘grow the hell up.’ Tell me why.”. This then led to future discussions between the Gender Pay Gap, Relationships, Women running companies…

    Worldshaker

    Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I am here today to encourage my peers and to also challenge my peers. The message I have focused on today is critical for the future is standing up for what is right. The future of humanity depends on our ability to speak and stand up for what we believe in and our values. We must use the youth to help this work and make this society a much more supportive and understanding society to live in. Today, I will discuss three texts that deal with the issue “Standing up for what is right”. These texts are: “WorldShaker” written by Richard Harland, Bob Marley’s song “Get Up, Stand Up” and the song “Caught in the Crowd” written by Kate Miller-Heidke. They will be broken down into detail.…

    The New Woman Analysis

    The New Woman was conveyed through the artists illustrations beginning in the 1880’s and continuing through the years, ending in the 1920’s. These images such as the works titled, “What Are We Coming To”, “In a Twentieth Century Club”, “Picturesque America”, and “Women Bachelors In New York”, all conveyed this idea of a “New Woman”. The qualities that a New Woman must have included a woman who pursued the highest education and made effort to move up in the professional world. “She (the New Woman) also demonstrated new patterns of private life, from shopping in the new urban department stores, to riding bicycles, and playing golf.” (pg. 374) The artists attempted to create this perfect all around woman who’s lives closely resembled what the men of that time were doing. Such as in figure 6.8 titled “In a Twentieth Century Club” which shows women dressed in clothing which closely resembled that of a mans attire for that era, at leisure, socializing with other woman. This “club” looked very similar to a men’s drinking and eating club. “ Although role reversal still provides the humor, the women waitresses and patrons are physically attractive, while the women’s unladylike posture and clothing would have been viewed as shocking equally significant is the cross dressing entertainer.” (pg. 374) Not only did artists attempt to convey a way that the New Woman should act, but they also created this popular physical image of what one should look like such as the Gibson Girls pictured in image 6.9. Most all of the illustrations showed a white woman of the leisure class, however African American women still envisioned and strived to become a New African American Woman.…
