    Matilda Loisel is poor and so is her husband‚ and "she had neither frocks nor jewels‚ nothing."(298) The irony of the title is that there is only one truly diamond necklace in the story‚ the one Mr. and Mrs. Loisel bought to replace Mme. Forestier’s false necklace‚ the one that completely changed their lives. A reader may ask why couldn’t Matilda tell her friend the truth? What was she so afraid of? Perhaps‚ she thought that Mme. Forestier would tell everybody that the necklace that Matilda wore that

    False Times Frederick Douglass once said “ America is false to the past‚ false to the present‚ and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.” In my opinion I feel that Douglass is saying that America only chooses to accept the glorious past‚ ignores the mistakes made both in the past and present‚ and thus chooses to work toward the future with the same blinders it has used to understand the past. In the past we have had the long-lasting injustices of slavery‚ Jim Crow‚ and if we are

    This study will critically compare Ethical Subjectivism and Ethical Relativism. The study will examine the theories as well as examples by which the practical importance of the theories can be more clearly understood. The study will basically argue that both of these approaches to ethics are deeply flawed‚ but that they each have something important to contribute to the realm of ethics as well. Ethical Subjectivism is defined in terms that can appear almost absurdly simplistic. MacNiven defines

      ??Love??  What is love? Love is not what you assume it is. That ’s why so many marriages end in divorce. People get a hormonal rush when they ’re around a person and think they ’re in love‚ and believe that person is "the one." Not even close. True love creeps up on you over a long period of time. It ’s NOT that powerful feeling of "I must have this person." Instead‚ it ’s a slow build-up. When you truly love someone you don ’t have to ask yourself if it ’s love. You ’re not even ASKING yourself

    Relativism is the idea that one’s beliefs and values are understood in terms of one’s society‚ culture‚ or even one’s own individual values. You may disagree with someone and believe your view is superior‚ relative to you as an individual; more often‚ relativism is described in terms of the values of the community in which one lives. The view of ethical relativism regards values as determined by one’s own ethical standards‚ often those provided by one’s own culture and background. Rather than insisting

    Religious are the three major approaches people can take. The foundations of ethics are all based on reason‚ emotion‚ and intuition. Virtue ethics and care ethics is difficult to discuss without bringing up Aristotle or Confucius. Absolutism vs Relativism are conflicting theories within ethics. Consequentialism and deontological ethics‚ free will vs determinism are all subjects we will be discussing.   “We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence‚ but we rather have those because

    again. An example of a Tautology is “The Cowboys are favored to win since they’re the better team”(155). To add on‚ another fallacy is False Comparison‚ which is defined as a comparison of two alike ideas so they must be the same. A part of false comparison is False Analogy that is basically an argument of two things that makes absolutely no sense. A case of a false analogy is “I’m a successful businessman. Elect me mayor and I’ll run a successful city”(150). This does not make sense because being
