Why is it that we as human beings feel the need to blame someone for every negative situation, which occurs? If we really look at the situation with any great depth, we may discover that an almost endless amount of things may be 'blamed' for the tragedy. Blaming an individual is pointless - only fate can really be blamed.…
Many people tend to blame others when things go wrong in their lives while most of the time they themselves are also to blame. To most, pointing fingers at others may seem much easier than taking the responsibilities of one’s actions. From Puritans’ point of view, everything that happens in life is pre-determined so they accept it as part of God’s plan or God’s way of chastising them. However, in post-revolutionary America, people are less religion oriented and more concerned about freedom and living a lavish lifestyle. Their belief in free will is much stronger, therefore they often explain problems as one’s own fault or others. In Hannah Webster Foster’s The Coquette or The History of Eliza Wharton that was published in 1797, we can see that…

Today we live in a world with many imperfections. There are choices and mistakes to be made. Often the outcomes of different situations can be tragic. Sometimes situations don’t seem too bad until you really get a look at the problem. In this film there are many different groups of people that all encounter problems.…
We feel as if we should be responsible for our own actions because in the third paragraph Ms.Ackerman is saying people throw the word love around like it is nothing. People are saying the word love just to say it, In paragraph three the author states many different things to prove that love doesn't get used with its full meaning and many people take love way to far. It states that in South American and European countries that murder is forgivable if it was "a crime of passion." Being in some countries you can kill someone as long as it is done with love is way too far to go. Everyone should be held responsible for their own actions because no everything done is a good thing or should be let go.…
Most of everyone wants the freedom to decide how to live our own lives, but independence requires us to take personal responsibility for our actions. This statement shows just how the world works, although most people do not own up to their own actions. There is always people that ruin, or destroy our freedoms. Some people will even be selfish and blame their mistakes on other people just so they won't have to face the punishments. These actions are what make our world so unequal.…
Every day we are given a fresh start; another chance to move forward in our lives and accomplish the things we thrive to achieve day to day. A new day can also liberate us from our past mistakes and provide us with a chance to change our ways. We are all faced with misery and misfortune at points in our lives, some more than others. We must recognize that it is not the burden in itself that shapes who we are, but how well or how poorly we deal with the difficulties. Sometimes misfortunes can be seen in a negative light; because it seems unjust, therefore we response in a negative matter, and become negligent to change. Overcoming tragic events is what truly counts, for we are meant to live happily and in acceptance that there are things that we cannot change. In many cases, individuals seem to feel as though they’ve lost an amount so great that they are unable to free themselves of the pain. This perspective often leads to further suffering. A Temporary Matter by Jhumpa Lahou and Kiss Me by Andrew Pyper demonstrate a loss of identity, negligence towards communication, and eventually leading to the destruction of a relationship.…
speaks greatly to that. Despite, the opportunities the world might hold for an individual, it’s so simple to get caught up in yourself and fear what could be. Your own mind can hold you back from finding happiness in the world. The world today is so violent and scary, we can all find solitude of our memories. When things get bad in the world, a quick escape is to look to the past where you remember everything being okay.…
who did what and who is to blame. We often fail to question one crucial assumption upon which our…
Life is a history of master narratives, controlling the views of many individuals. The definition of master narrative can seem quite vague, but the values and limitations it holds give it purpose in the world. Whether or not the purpose of a master narrative is acknowledged varies between each person. Master narratives are not always right or wrong— true or false, good or bad— they are a way to marginalize society into thinking a certain way. Master Narratives always have and always will shape the beliefs and knowledge of the world by defining and defying society’s thoughts, emotions, and actions through the stereotypical views of our world.…

This doha deals with our perception behavior and tendencies. It has been invariably noticed that we tend to find fault with someone else for our situations and circumstances. Our "I", the ego, always tries to put blame on others. Non-awareness of our own self is the…
