Living Our Lives Write This Essay Simply
1,801 wordsIn Fear and Trembling I write this essay. Perhaps that is part of the point, that I not write this essay in comfort, in simple regurgitation of class discussion, or by simply rewording the notes I might have taken. From reading the two passages from Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, I found a profound similarity, which, at first I could not put into words. Simply struggling with what they could both mean. Is perhaps Nietzsche's poorest fisherman rowing with golden oars (pg 269) similar to Kierkegaard's...

Death Of Socrates King Of Thebes
1,217 wordsWhat is the relation of the state to the individual? Should obedience be paid to the will of the state, or to the justice with which it conflicts? If loyalty is required, is it conditional; necessary only part of the time? And, given that the state and the individual will inevitably disagree on some issues, who suffers in the end? Through their writings, Plato and Sophocles outline two sides of this issue. In Euthyphro, The Apology, and Crito Plato expresses a view of the state as flawed but nec...

The typical daily routine of these two lifestyles could be compared to night and day. As a Marine I start off every morning by making my bed, and...

Oscar Schindler Violent Resistance
1,158 wordsThere is no doubt that pleasure is good. Whether the pleasure is emotional or physical; whether we get this pleasure through taste, touch, sight, scent, or hearing; it makes no difference. Pleasure is always enjoyable. In fact the words pleasure and good are often times interchangeable. After seeing a movie I liked, I may tell someone that the film was pleasurable or that it was good. Both descriptions have a positive connotation. But while pleasure is undoubtedly good, it is not the highest goo...

Arrested Bar Year
1,053 wordsIf there is anything glorious or romantic about being a cop I certainly do not know what it is. My experience as a law enforcement officer lasted only a few years, but in that time I nearly burned myself out to a level of superior cynicism. For me, enforcing laws was like being trapped in the chaotic middle of a sociological chamber of horrors. Coping with such a high level of emotional disenchantment impacted me drastically and threatened to chisel my psyche down to a dark mute point. The respo...

Bilbo was not readily accepted by the hobbits he was traveling with. The only reason he was allowed to go was because Gandolf, the wondering wizard, assures the others that Bilbo's presence would be useful. The event that I would place, as the climax, is when Bilbo goes in Smaug's cave. He finds his weakness that leads...
