    The Oxford Dictionary defines perspective as “A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” Everybody has different perspectives, but one of the more unique ones is from Jared Diamond. He created the book “Guns, Germs and Steel,” which was later turned into a TV miniseries. In it, Diamond travels around the world looking for an answer to a question that was asked by a New Guinean. Eventually, he turned to history. He looked at different societies and analyzed what caused them to be the way they were. Finally, he found an answer; geographic luck. In Episode 1 and 2 of “Guns, Germs and Steel,” Jared Diamond addresses an important question that has the ability to broaden a person’s understanding of people living…

    After Trojans suffer some serious losses in the battlefield, Hector arrives to Troy to tell the women of the city to make an offering to Athena. Like Hector, Hecuba performs an important social role, but she also plays an important role in his personal life, which is manifested when she inquires after the reasons of his return to the palace. Hecuba wonders if he has come to seek rest or to pray to Zeus, and immediately assumes that the latter is the case, implying that Hector’s arrival to the palace to pray to Zeus would be acceptable because he would thus be fulfilling a social duty, whereas his arrival to pursue personal comforts would not. She attempts to assert her authority over him by offering to bring him wine for a libation, but also, a typical mother, advises him to drink some of the wine to restore his strength. By refusing her offer, Hector firmly reasserts his authority: “Revered mother, do not bear for me the honeyed wine” (Il. VI. 264). He is the town defender and as such he is responsible for his mother, not the other way around, as it had been the case in his childhood. His social role is thus given precedence over his personal feelings. Hector gives his…

    ‘The true power of Priam’s vision lies in the fact that it challenges the will of the gods and asserts the agency of men.’ Discuss.In David Malouf’s Ransom, the fall of Hector, “the noblest warrior” in all of Troy, causes Priam to become certain of the atrocities soon to befall Troy and its citizens, infusing his responsibilities as a king with a sense of guilt which stems from his “weak protection”. However, after receiving a vision of him from the goddess Iris, with no symbols of “royal dignity”, Priam embarks on the seemingly ill-fated journey to retrieve his sons’ body. While the fate of all men is predetermined by the gods, Priam’s vision challenges the sceptical notion that all are doomed to follow the will of the gods – that is, their assured destinies. Therefore, by carrying out his vision, Priam asserts that the capacity to change one’s self is ultimately dependent on the individual. For Malouf, the true power of Priam’s vision results in his own desire to restore both himself and Achilles, in spite of their inevitable deaths. It can be seen that while the destinies of all characters in Ransom are ordained by divine forces, there is an inherent desire in all human beings to establish control over their assured fates. Priam dismisses his rule as a “mockery” ordained by the gods, believing that his predetermined rule is doomed to end in the violence that will soon consume Troy. By choosing to label his rule as a “foul-smelling mockery”, Priam positions himself to believe that his stature as a king does not reflect who he truly is: the suppressed “child” Podarces, who “suffered [his] first death”, in exchange for power, luxury, and an identity that he gladly took if it meant for survival. The “foul” is pivotal as it demonstrates the progression of his contempt at being manipulated by the gods, and his inner motivation to simultaneously break free of his “obligations” and his responsibilities as king. In doing so, Malouf seeks to convey that all human beings…

    This moving chronicle of one family coping with violence, teenage pregnancy, and school failure mirrors the struggles of families in embattled urban communities all over the country. In that movie, family members are Cisco Santiago, his sister Rosa Cruz, her husband Benny Cruz, her daughter Elena Castro and son Luis Castro from her previous marriage. I could not see any bond with Rosa and her children Elena and Luis. They were not following rules like us. They lived independently and they did not want any suggestion from them. I did not see any strength of their family. I think the family was not organized. Their microsystem, mesosystem, Exosystem and macrosystem were not strong to hold each other and attract each other into the family. In my family, I have to listen to my parents, follow rules and norms. I have learned from my family everything. So, I believe that they did not maintain their family like this. I did not know that family’s can be like that.…

For example domestic violence. It could also be said that Functionalists wear ‘rose tinted glasses’ meaning that they only see the good side of society.…
