In society, authority and its rules are respected by people in the community through acts of obedience. Authority is not only the government laws, but can also be people with a higher status, such as parents, teachers, or employment managers. As long as people obey those with authoritative power, they will receive rewards, or at least avoid punishment, even when the command requires unjust actions towards another person. For example, Hitler’s propaganda that made the Germans believe that the Jews were the source of their economic problems and scapegoated them in world war two. And years after the Holocaust, some Germans deny their part in the abuse towards the genocide of six million Jews. In other words, people who deny their part in an unjust action place the blame on…
In This Boy's Life, a memoir by Tobias Wolff, as Jack ages, he loses innocence. In the novel, innocence is portrayed as simplicity and childishness, which Jack aims to lose as he develops. Wolff develops this theme through Jack's quest for masculinity, which he views as power. Guns and abusive male figures serve as recurring motifs for his diminishing innocence. Jack's search for masculinity dilutes his idealistic core as he changes his character to match what he believes is powerful; thus causing the withering of his innocence and complete loss of innocence at the end of the novel.…

Heroes aren't people with super natural abilities that make them greater and stronger than ordinary people. Heroes are people who make an effort to change the world no matter what it takes. This is clearly shown by Lieutenant Dunbar in the novel "Dances with Wolves,” written by Michael Blake. Dunbar shows traits of heroism by being loyal to his word when he does not leave his post, even when there was no sign of help; showing bravery by saving Stands With a Fist when he could have left her to die; and completing his own personal, emotional quest. Lieutenant Dunbar may seem like a normal person, but he acquires the traits to be a real hero…
For centuries, The United States has made countless decisions. Decisions to battle, decisions to make peace, and decisions to stand down. However, not all of these have been good decisions in the overall scheme of things. In fact, countless ideas America thought were knowledgeable at the time have proved devastating to other parties. One example of this can be seen through the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears is a failure in history because it led to the death of thousands of American Indians, the act was unjust, and it caused Andrew Jackson to be known primarily for the cruelty of his rule.…
One lesson you can learn is to not take sides. Picking the side you believe is right and beneficial will help you more in the long run rather than fluctuating between both choices. According to Elie Wiesel, “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim… Sometimes we must interfere” (118). The quote explains how neutrality only gives the victim permission to continue doing what they’re doing because they are not reprimanded or confronted for their actions. Whereas, neutrality hurts the victim because they are not given the support that they need to take down the oppressor. Students learning about this can learn to make decisions for themselves. The second lesson to learn is how dangerous silence can be. Staying silent in situations can only lead to the worse precautions. Elie questions himself in the book, saying “How was it possible that men, women, and children were being burned and the world kept silent?” (32). In his acceptance speech, he also says that “Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” (118). He is furious about the inhumanity happening around him, but nobody was batting an eyelash about it. Students learning this will help them become assertive, to stand up for their beliefs, and to not be a bystander. It can apply to events in school like bullying or unjust rules. They must rid of the mindset that “this is bad but it probably will not get any more worse.” The third lesson students can learn from the Holocaust is to always be aware of your surroundings. In Night, Elie and the Sighet Jews disregarded the signs of danger and were uneducated about the Holocaust. They believed that the Germans would stay in Budapest and would not know of Sighet, but were proven wrong when they saw German Army vehicles on their streets (9). If students are properly educated and cautious about current events, they can save themselves from potential…
