The Chinese are a very spiritual people with many beliefs that go back to the beginning of its culture. One of these core beliefs are the five cardinal points that everything in life whether spiritual or physical is somehow subjected to. In order of worst to best they are the center, the south, the east, the west, and the north. From the north came invaders and all sorts of strange people and rumors.

    Oppression In William Bell's Forbidden City

    When there is oppression, a form of injustice, in the world, what would be a better way to react? The two main ways people respond to systems of oppression are by being an upstander or a bystander. In William Bell’s Forbidden City, the government oppresses its citizens. Oppressors are people who oppress and favor one group of people above the other, and victims are the people being oppressed. Bystanders are people who do nothing as they see poeple being oppressed. An example would be the narrator from Maurice Ogden’s Hangman. On the other hand, upstanders stand up for the cause they believe in, like the French woman in the movie Pigeon.…

    Analysis of the Theme of Survival in Auschwitz

    Survival in Auschwitz tells of the horrifying and inhuman conditions of life in the Auschwitz death camp as personally witnessed and experienced by the author, Primo Levi. Levi is an Italian Jew and chemist, who at the age of twenty-five, was arrested with an Italian resistance group and sent to the Nazi Auschwitz death camp in Poland in the end of 1943. For ten terrible months, Levi endured the cruel and inhuman death camp where men slaved away until it was time for them to die. Levi thoroughly presents the hopeless existence of the prisoners in Auschwitz, whose most basic human rights were stripped away, when in Chapter 2 he states, "Imagine now a man who is deprived of everyone he loves, and at the same time of his house, his habits, his clothes, in short, of everything he possesses: he will be a hollow man, reduced to suffering and needs, forgetful of dignity and restraint, for he who loses all often easily loses himself" (27). With Survival in Auschwitz, Primo Levi provides a stark examination of human survival in the dehumanized society of a Nazi death camp. Throughout the book, Levi reinforces the theme that the prisoners of the death camp are reduced to being no longer men, but instead animals that must struggle to survive day by day or face certain death.…

    The Coping Brain Analysis

    However, this dwelling can be a tactic the brain uses to avoid more upsets and allows itself to get back in order. There are several ways to relieve the tension is stressful situations including the build up stress of your everyday life. Some that I use include reading to take my mind off of things in reality, physical exercise/taking care of pets, this gets me focused on something other than me. There's also having alone time so you can work out your problems on your own. Humor is the best medicine and this is also true for stress. When trying to cope with an issue, sometimes we do things that we think help but really don't help at all. Such things would be allowing ourselves to react instinctively. Although some of us think that we have evolved beyond instincts, they still play a role in emergency situations. Even over thousands of years of civilization, people still get that fight or flight response when terrified. Another mistake that is sometimes made is when we try to shut out the feelings and stop feeling anything. This can lead to a complete shutdown of our emotional awareness that can stop emotional connections from being made later on in…
