What Does Arjuna Want To Fight?
Base on the document, Arjuna doesn't want to fight because he doesn't understand why he has to shed his family's blood for a kingdom that he doesn't even want part of and he sees killing as an evil act, but
Krishna was persuading and explaining reasons why it is Arjuna's duty to fight and the manner in which he must fight to restore his karma. Krishna first explains the samsaric cycle of birth and death. The main reason for the cycle is to allow a person to work on their karma by accumulating through the lifetime of work. If a person completes action selflessly, in service to God, then they can work off their karma and if they act selfishly, then they keep accumulating debt, putting them further and further into karmic debt.

    How Does Rajul Deal With Conflict

    I would explore the concept of how Rajul deals with conflict, and whether he thinks the way he deals with conflict is acceptable, or how to move toward more positive strategies to deal with conflict and anger. This problem could be the root of the presented or private problem, which is has disclosed that since he grew up in a tough neighbourhood, that this is the way he has to deal with conflict, opposed to the way he actually would want to deal with conflict. Since he has to come in due to probation orders, we know that it is due to assault, and his anger, so by starting off with the presenting problem will hopefully result in a positive outcome for Rajul.…

    Was Indian Resistance Justified?

    The natives lay on the cold, damp earth, taking in their final breaths, before their hearts ceased beating, and came their demise. The Wounded Knee Massacre was one of the biggest and most violent confrontations between the Native Americans and the American people and government. It claimed as many as 300 or more of the 350 Indian lives in Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, and half of those killed were women and children. It was the final major clash between the Native Americans and the U.S. military, and it finally proved that white men are the “true savages” of humankind. Yes, the Native Americans’ resistance was justified. White Americans brought many atrocities upon the Native American people. The white men gave them unfulfilled promises, purloined their lands and decimated their people.…

    Athenian View of Human Nature

    Gandhi, on the other hand, believed that humans act violently as a result of a war or disaster, but that their true human nature compels them to be peaceful. In other words, humans only act violently when provoked and when it is necessary for survival. Yet, the Athenians show that people become wild and violent during times of confusion, because their true human nature is allowed to emerge. "Then, with the ordinary conventions of civilized life thrown into confusion, human nature, always ready to offend even where laws exist, showed itself proudly in its true colors, as something incapable of controlling passion, insubordinate to the idea of justice, the enemy to anything superior to itself…" (p. 245)…

    The Legend of Bagger Vance

    The sacred Hindi text is a story of self-actualization. Arjuna is faced with an existential crisis in the beginning of the story. He questions who he is and what he wants his life to be about. He wonders if what he does with his life is more important than the people in it, whom he loves. All these questions are much more intimidating when they are being asked in battle, where if he answers a question wrong, lives are at stake. He sees his family and friends in the audience, and his anxiety level rises. He says, “My dear Krishna, seeing my friends…

    The way of the peaceful warrior

    Joseph Campbell, a well know mythologist states in “the Power of Myth” that “a hero is someone who has given his or her life to something greater than oneself” (Campbell 151). Campbell also indicates that there are two types of hero deeds. One type is a physical deed, “in which the hero performs a courageous act in battle or saves a life” (Campbell 151). The second is a spiritual deed, “in which the hero learns to experience the supernatural range of human spiritual life and then comes back with a message” (Campbell 152). In his story “The way of the peaceful Warrior”, Dan Millman tells us about his experience with a white bearded man known as Socrates who takes him on many adventures and gives him knowledge on life. Although the two stories are different they are alike in many ways. Campbell introduces us to the hero’s journey and the step required on becoming a hero. In Dan Millman’s, story we see how those steps of the hero’s journey such as departure, fulfillment and return are portrayed.…

    Indian War

    During the late 1800s while the United States were making advancements into the west, the United States Government had to enforce certain policies towards the Native Americans that they came across. These policies although made the movement to the west easier for the United States, it did not serve the Native American population very well. The purpose of these policies was to assist the federal government in the formation of the transcontinental railway that would be traveling through the Native American land, also known as the “Great American Desert”. Even though the government policies were necessary, the harsh attacks and reservations towards the Native Americans were not. Though these treaties harmed the Indian’s, they served to be beneficial to the United States Government, because it allowed them to hold some control over the Indians and was effective in having them do what they needed them to do.…

    Character of A Happy Warrior

    There are many things that the students can take away from this particular poem by Wordsworth. For example: Emotions is one of the characteristics of the Romanticism period as discussed in class, where Wordsworth says that a warrior, “Keeps faithful with a singleness of aim; And therefore does not stoop, nor lie in wait. For wealth, or honours, or for worldly state”(Wordsworth, 40). In these lines, the poet describes how a true warrior is not cought up in the material world and he maintains his moral values and integrity towards himself and the nation. As a critic to this poem, the author of ‘Restoration of The Warrior’ named John Brown Hamilton, says that the warrior’s “performance in daily life is based on concepts of reason, moral law, and political integrity”(Hamilton, 318). In this statement, the author is trying to explain what Wordsworth refers or relates to when he describes the virtual characteristics of the warrior. According to me, one thing students can take from this part of the poem that takes on ethics is that; in today’s world, individualism rules everyone and like Wordsworth discussed through his peom ‘Ode: Intimations of Immortality’…
