The research I have done about Nike’s labor practices was very interesting. I looked up responses of Nike to accuses on them on the internet. I found a couple of publications at www.Nikebiz.com. After I read them‚ I realized that Nike proclaims the same thing in an exaggerated style in every single one of them. For example in a Nike statement regarding the working conditions in El Salvador‚ Nike says that their constant goal always used to be to improve the safety at the working place and the indoor

The Marxist theory is shown throughout our writing piece‚ Antigone. From the characters to the existing plot complexity within the piece‚ you can identify several places in which it appears. After reading the story‚ you can easily pick out the dominant characters. The characters that would take on the label of “powerful people” would be Creon and most of the characters that we meet within the story.

When the two brothers killed each other in war‚ Creon announced that no one shall be buried unless given his permission.This led to Antigone burying his brother out of respect and Creon ordering to excuse her. Creon is abusing power to take away power of others. This also shows how creon reacts when someone disobeys him. Creon goes to extreme measures when Antigone goes

In "Antigone" the root of Creon’s immoral behavior is not an inability to distinguish between what is wrong and what is right‚ but‚ rather‚ a fear or a terror of what may occur if he were to choose the morally right way to operate. "Very well‚ I am afraid‚ then. Does that satisfy you? I am afraid that if you insist upon it‚ I shall have you killed. And I don’t want to (46)." Antigone acts in the complete opposite manner to Creon. She‚ as Creon

Antigone - Prompt #3 CREON "Die then‚ and love the dead if thou must; No woman shall be the master while I live (184)." This quotation portrays a powerful and important theme about gender and the role that a woman plays in Greek society. Antigone’s gender has an incredible effect on the others around her‚ for her actions don’t constitute those of an average woman in Greek society. An average Greek woman is characterized as subservient and passive‚ but Antigone possesses independent‚ strong-willed

Calen Timothy-Lash Jackman Allison Smith CLT 3370 November 25‚ 2013 Justice in the Antigone Not only is the Antigone an incredible work of drama and tragedy‚ it encompasses a great moral argument that has two sides; Antigone or Creon. It can also be said that the argument being made in either case is larger than the prerogatives of just these two people and more an argument between obeying the will of man or the will of the gods. Creon’s argument is for the former because of his motivation

In this tragic play a newly appointed king Creon declares to his people that treason was committed during battle‚ and one of the two brothers (Polyneices) killed shall not be buried. This dilemma is felt by many‚ especially Antigone (sister of Polyneices). The struggle between human law and divine law is a moral dilemma Antigone feels as she decides to go against the laws of the

In Antigone by Sophocles (406-496 B.C.) there were many instances where gender inequality was present. I have decided to write my paper on the second option‚ which asks us to analyze Antigone’s defiance and to also explain gender representation in Antigone. First I will discuss whether or not I felt that Antigone’s defiance was political or just an act of love for her brother. I will discuss how women were treated and viewed during this time especially Antigone. If there were any instances where

The idea of justice is one of the strongest motivators for humankind to make decisions on how to live and whether or not to try and change how one conducts themselves. Creon‚ in the play Antigone by Sophocles‚ is immovable in his ideals and confident in his personal idea of true justice‚ maintaining pride and order in his city-state Thebes. He faces the dilemma of whether to prioritize the good of his city-state by ostracizing a traitor in the family‚ or to respectfully bury him as is the will of
