unvalued, by disowning their spontaneous feelings
and developing elaborate strategies of defense.
According to Horney, people try to gain safety,
love, and esteem through dependency, humility, and
self-sacrificing goodness. This can take one of
three forms: the narcissistic, who is full of
self-admiration and believes in their own
greatness; the perfectionist, who strives for
excellence in every detail; and the
arrogant-vindictive, who have a need to r...

free labor and capitalism extensively; so much so
that it appears that the writers do not realize
they themselves are profiting because of the
freedom of their society. Fitzhugh advocates a
type of primitive Marxism over the republic of
America. The fact that the claims of the
pro-slavery defenders were not in any way a
realistic defense of the institution is a sure
indication that they were a desperate measure. The
foolhardiness of this final south...

generations. Even though whites sought to control
their slaves in every imaginable way, the latter

Institution Of Slavery Feelings Of Guilt
3,194 words
Guilt is an inevitable effect of slavery. For no
matter how much rhetoric and racism is poured into
such a system, the simple fact remains that men
and women are enslaving men and women. Regardless
of how much inferior a slaveholder may perceive
his salves, it is obvious that his property looks

feelings. There is thus the necessary comparison
of situations; the slaveholder is free, the slave
is in bondage-certainly a position that the
slaveholder would...
