What is the Guy Code? According to Kimmel‚ the Guy Code is the collection of attitudes‚ values‚ and traits that together composes what is means to be a man. Pretty much‚ the Guy Code means that you never show your feelings‚ be strong‚ and never give up. All in all‚ don’t be a sissy. You should never show emotions or admit to weakness.

Adversity plays a major role in developing and shaping a person’s character. I have found that this is not only a common theme in stories but also in real life as well. In the words of the Roman poet Horace: “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” This is repetitive in human history‚ today as well as hundreds of years ago. In a civilization‚ the upper class of a community would have different values than the lower class due to the

What I believe that Horace is trying to say through “Adversity has the effect of electing talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant” is that challenges bring about innate talents in individuals which would have otherwise been undiscovered.

Horace Miner Response Horace Miner’s essay "Body Ritual Among The Nacirema" is deeper then a clever critique of the absurdities of the American culture. Other then mocking the science of anthropology‚ Miner shows how an outsider would view America. This sight would not be much different from an American viewing an uncivilized village in the middle of the forest. Miner’s essay extensively proves that the culture of America is not very different then many other civilizations. The perspective
