The book called Age of Ambition written by Evan Osnos, a writer of The New Yorker, exposes Chinese citizens are living in a battleground between authoritarianism and aspiration. He also describes the greatest conflict taking place in China–“The clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party’s struggle to retain control.” (Osnos) Evan Osnos states his idea in the book, “An account of the collision of two forces: aspiration and authoritarianism, shows a China river by moral crisis and explosive frustration, whose citizens are desperate to achieve wealth, even as they are terrified of being left with nothing. It is also a riveting and troubling portrait of a people in a state of extreme anxiety about their identity, values and…

Recent travels to China have opened my eyes to both the flaws and the valuable parts of Chinese society and government. Much can be learned from the mistakes and successes of the Chinese society and government. The confucian ideals which started in China teach us the importance of respecting specific relationships, such as the priceless relationship between a subject and his ruler. From the Confucian time we also understand the importance of educational standards and morals, while the legalist ideals from ancient China show us the value in balance of punishment and reward. Furthermore, from Chinese government we can learn the significance of motivation to lead in a just, sensible, and ethical manner.…
- The word "dream" is never used in the book in reference to anything like a hope or aspiration. This is because the characters never regard their hopes and ambitions as impossible things to fulfill – they see them instead as concrete and realistic plans.…
Dreams are often a way to find comfort in bad times by dreaming of what career path to take, how many children to have, or who to grow old with. However, dreams are also a way to escape from the harsh reality that a person’s life is not always what it seems. Of Mice and Men explains two characters, Lennie and George, who are traveling farmhands. They both have a dream of owning a house with a few acres, a cow, some pigs, a large vegetable garden, some chickens, and have some rabbits (paraphrased Steinbeck 14). These men have had this dream ever since they began working and traveling together.…
The overall concept of the “American Dream” is that everyone has a chance to successfully achieve their dream or goal through motivation, inspiration and hard work. However, everyone has a different definition for the “American Dream”. Although, it is called the “American Dream”, I believe that it is more of a dream that pertains to you. Of Mice and Men takes place during the Great Depression, a harsh time period where it seemed as if the “American Dream” didn’t exist. However the author, Steinbeck employs the concept of the “American Dream” alive during the Great Depression through three characters, George, Lennie and Candy.…
Another reason that teenagers should pay attention to world news is to have a better understanding of the world, people and they will be more open-minded. If adolescents have a better comprehension in the world, they will become more successful. They will know how things work and function in our planet, or maybe start questioning our system and try to change the status quo. Also, young adults will make more friends since they are more open-minded. They will not be too quick to judge. Lastly, teens will have a better understanding of people and their points of view.…
Everybody wants to have that American Dream. Whatever or whoever it is, it is a dream. A dream to some people can mean like a goal or fantasy wise. A dream in general is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep. But an American Dream is the traditional social ideals of the United States, such as equality, democracy, and material prosperity.…
There are many times when a person goes through life with many ups and downs, however when you are going through these changes, you have to have the ability to know how to handle stressful situations. When dealing with humanistic personality, this would allow the people to have the freedom to choose their behavior. Humanistic Holistic Theory is a theory that emphasizes on engaging the person as a whole and focusing on the future rather than the pass (Brill & Levine, 2005, p. 58). This theory let you know that whatever a person has done in their lives, they have room to grow and prove that no matter what their life styles may have been or how they are living, they can always change that; once a drug addict does not means that you will always be a drug addict, you have room for…

As humans, it is in our nature to view things simplistically. Most of us participate in day-to-day events single-mindedly. We are much too wrapped up what we are doing to take a step back and recognize the greater picture. We fail to notice the impact of the social systems that constantly surround us. The systems that we associate with are much bigger than ourselves. In fact, they define who we are not only as individuals, but also as part of a society. Allan Johnson, author of The Forest and the Trees, does an incredible job of investigating on the importance of looking at society through an outside lens; taking a step back and analyzing the social systems we are all involved in. He shows that in doing so, we are able to learn more about the world and our lives involved within it.…
The American Dream is like a fingerprint. Everybody has them but they are all so different. These dreams represent the inner thoughts, hopes, and goals of the people. Often the American Dream is portrayed as unattainable or as a tool used by industries to manipulate the lower and middle class. The reality is, the American Dream is not the same American Dream as it was when the country was founded in 1776. It has morphed to shape citizens and immigrants as individuals.…
