Lived His Life Rest Of Society
1,805 words
... l service, and not even knowing his own
mother's age proves to be outrageous when compared
to the average human being's social and moral
standards. But the fact is Meursault is not the
average human being. Helene Poplyansky beautifully
explained this when she said: Meursault is far
from social convention or intellectual problems;
what counts for him are his own sensations and
desires. He is an outsider not only for others but
also for himself. He looks at himself without
trying to analyze hi...

True Courage Aristotle Definition
1,084 words
Right in the middle! This is the place Aristotle
respects. In the book Nichomachean Ethics,
Aristotle does his best to explain what the many
virtues of the world are. To Aristotle, the virtue
courage is a mean with respect to fear and
confidence (68), but more specifically, a man who
fearlessly faces a noble death and any situations
that bring a sudden death (69 - 70). This is
certainly consistent with his philosophy that all
virtues are simply the correct middle between any
excess and deficienc...

Hidden Agenda Of Lion

The subject of willful ignorance in the movie
Philadelphia is obvious as the partners in Andy's
law firm pretend to not notice that he is sick
with the deadly syndrome AIDS. This is a form of
power on their point because they use it to
justify firing Andy for fear of contamination.
Willful ignorance is also a major part of The Lion
King. The main difference in the two movies though
is that in Philadelphia, willful ignorance is
shown through the characters of the law firm
partners. In The Lion Ki...

Benito Cereno Centered Ness
875 words
In Herman Melville's Benito Cereno ignorance
appears to be an overwhelming theme. Although
Benito Cereno holds a powerful message about
slavery, this is not the major idea of the story.
Ignorance is the fire that fuels slavery. During
the entire story every main character displays
signs of idiocy. Unfortunately, the most important
decision-maker in the story, Captain Alaska
Delano, falls into this category. Melville's story
is told through a narrator. He purposely tries to
let the reader slowly ...

Sin is ignorance. This is well known Socratic
definition of sin which, like everthing Socratic,
is an opinion always worthy of attention. The
difficulty with the Socratic definition is that it
leaves undetermined how ignorance itself is to be
more precisely understood, the question of its
origin, ect. That is to say. even if sin be
ignorance (or what Christianity would perhaps
prefer to call stupidity), which in one sense
cannot be denied we have to ask, is this an

Meursault as The Stranger The way a person reacts
to ordinary situations determines the opinions of
others based on their behavior. Yet, when this
behavior is abnormal or different from the rest of
society, it causes society to form an opinion
based totally on a persons behavior not their true
personality. In Meursault's case, his strange
opinions and unexpected remarks put him in this
position, without ever really giving him an
opportunity to be ...

Without ignorance everyone would know what is
happening and the problem would never occur. This
is especially relevant with Shakespeare's play
Romeo and Juliet. There are many cases within the
play that show that the characters are ignorant of
what is happening somewhere else. The characters
either does not know that something is occurring
