The Konmari Method
Also, the KonMari lifestyle strives on living with the barest necessities while forgetting the complex complications that comes with minimalism. Simplicity is a major factor in causing individuals unhappiness resulting in cold-hearted humans. We are cold because we lose our values and importance due to the fact we surround ourselves with only air. The KonMari lifestyle brings unhappiness and emptiness with a sense of regret which is what Bernstein lacks the capability to explain in depth. The KonMari method “seems to ignore some important truths about what it means to be human.” Living a minimalistic life tends to cause a person to become heartless and strips us of the extremely significant values that makes us a human-being.

    Chris Mccandless Criticism

    We are always in the same routine everyday and look for help around us from society that we start to conform. In the letter Chris wrote to Ron Franz saying, “So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future” (Krakauer 56). He went into the wild so he did not have to conform to society and he wanted to live the life of not having to worry about the everyday things. Emerson writes, “a conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members” (Emerson, Self Reliance). What Emerson means…

    Betty Friedan Housewife

    In Friedan's writing she is trying to counter theories presented previously to the American public on "The Housewife's Syndrome" which many have based on the role of "famine fulfillment" and show that it has more to do about identity crisis. Friedan sights that a number of outside influences such as marrying at a young age, media influences, community and even education were thought to be considered the cause for psychological pain. Friedan discounted many of these theories and believed the problem of "house wife fatigue", or boredom and frustration, was less about the empty…

    Life is an ongoing cycle, forever trapped within the consumerism, legalism, and ruthlessness of modern society. Only through our fleeting innocence, purity and the appreciation of our natural world are we able to go beyond society’s harsh expectations and regulations that only end in the destruction of a person’s spirit.…

    Ray Bradbury's Loss Of Individuality

    Bradbury uses his fiction worlds where materialistic views reign and technology looms over every household to warn his society from following the same path. He shows how technology provides false happiness, but in the end it can’t provide true and lasting happiness. He also shows how materialistic views distract people from where they came from and what is important, like real family. These two factors combined lead to a loss of individuality. While he warns, he also tries to show society the right path to take. He links nature and books, and then in turn masterfully links them with true and lasting happiness. He shows the people that isolation from technology and materialism help the person find their true self. He uses his stories to weave…

    Theme Of Loneliness In Japan

    Kokoro takes place in the Meiji Ishin era which had installed a period of modernization and Westernization in Japan so hastily that the foundations of traditional Japanese thinking existed with the new Western thought. (CP 391, 701) Ishin in Japanese, references the meaning of both “restoration” and “renovation” (CP 386, 665). The influence of the Western ideals of individualism alienated the characters Sensei and K, from their own societies. These characters would otherwise have been comfortably integrated into the society that they previously had known, so this change of society and culture made each one of them agonizingly lonely in the process. After the Emperor Meiji died,…

    ~*Windflower by Gabrielle Roy*~ This will explain one of the themes in this novel: imprisonment of possessions. It will relate to the whole story and several other sources to express my opinion.

    "You never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy" Erick Hoffer. Through out history, society has supported science to look forward for inventions to improve conformity in life; this fact has changed humanity's priorities and therefore, the world itself. In other words, our science development has always had the destination for easier and longer life; however, we do not notice how this is all about materialism and how it devalues our sense for life. In Windflower by Gabrielle Roy, the Inuit culture is expressed as peaceful and free, but in contrast the white way of living is considered as hostile and imprisoning and has a negative impact on Elsa Kumachuk's life and her relationships. Materialism has altered her life and in this case, because of her innocence and ignorance, in an unfortunate way, leaving others with the consequences of her mistakes.…

    Annie Dillard's 'This is the Life': Rhetorical Analysis

    In “This is the Life” by Annie Dillard, Dillard uses a dominant magnanimous tone and she switches between a mocking tone and a provocative tone to express that humans nowadays take their lives for granted and they do not realize that not everyone in the world has such an easy life. Dillard does a tremendous job on describing the lives of humans in the past and the present, mapping out scenarios describing the “easy life” during a certain time period. As well as trying to get the reader to appreciate what they have in life, she also reminds us of how we need to challenge our worldview.…

    Examine the Theme of Loneliness in of Mice and Men Notes

    Almost everyone has had a friend or a loved one in their lifetime. However, there are those less fortunate who lack both, making loneliness the biggest hole to fill in their hearts. Without others, they will have to bear their own burdens and survive in the world using their own instincts. Steinbeck’s personal interpretation on social inclusion and social isolation leans more on the pessimistic side, portraying the idea that society and connections with others are the controlling factors of a person’s positive or negative outlook on life. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck shows good examples of social isolation affecting humanity and exposing how helpless and pathetic people can become without relations. No matter how strong or prosperous people are, Steinbeck shows what becomes of people when loneliness manipulates their attitude towards life.…

    Analysis Of The Reid Technique

    The Reid technique is a commonly used police interrogation technique in North America (King & Snook, 2009). This interrogation technique is used to elicit confessions from people suspected of committing a criminal offense. The Reid technique requires that police officers collect factual evidence, then the interviewer questions the suspect in a non-accusatory manner (King & Snook, 2009). Truth or deception is then determined based on behavioural analysis of the suspect, then if deception is detected a 9-step psychological approach from the Reid technique is applied (King & Snook, 2009). However, interrogators often apply this technique as the first step without any physical evidence, where they coerce their suspect to incriminate themselves…

    Alfred Adler's Psychology Case Study

    According to Adler’s theory, Martin’s goal was to be out of inferiority and achieve superiority. The style of life was the life plan or guiding image, and referred to the unique ways which people peruse their ways. People’s unique styles of life were formed to a considerable extent during the first five years of life, and also were a reaction to people’s inferiority, real or imaged. Therefore, Martin’s unique style of life…

    The Reality of the Material Life

    Everyday people purchase thousands of objects and live in large houses and live the ideal material life, with material things, and lives based on what they own. However there are several people all over the world that have no homes and base their belongings on what they can carry with them. Lars Eighner was found homeless and through this, discovered his own lessons of life by scavenging and developing the understanding the difference between those who live through their possessions and those who do not. Thoreau learned his way of life through his exploration of nature, and his examination of the material world, which is something that Eighner did as well. “On Dumpster Diving” by Eighner and “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For” by Thoreau, they discover life lessons, and they criticize the 'rat race millions' but not similarly, which can be explained because of the way they approach life.…

    Why Is The Bell Jar Important In Literature

    Carl Jung has once said, “The shoe that fits for one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.” Jung references to the belief that there is no perfect recipe for living that’ll benefit everyone in the same way as each other due to the fact that each person’s wants and needs differ from one another. The idea of a perfect life that suits everyone has become a common theme within literature as people believe that a life that suits them will also have the same affect on others. An example of literature that disproves this belief and showcases the perspective of a person on the other side of the spectrum where the stereotypical life does not suit their expectations is The Bell Jar. Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar analyzes…

    Simplicity in Walden

    Simplicity in Walden

    First, Thoreau portrays this façade that simple is best. He pictures this world of materialistic and possessive citizens living in a radical society. He even goes as far to say, “It is a fool’s life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before” (3). I believe that Walden wants the world to realize you don’t need to compare yourself to others to have self-satisfaction of a simple and appreciative life. Those whom strive to hard, will regret it in the end; but those whom live the easy and free life will accomplish everything and more that they could have ever imagined. “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation” (4). Walden is just reassuring his idea that the “games and amusements of mankind” (4) retire and wear you down eventually to where you want nothing out of life anymore.…
