ignorant to say that society and its conditioning has no affect on us. The truth is‚ the fear of judgement limits us to achieve all we can achieve. We spend so much of our lives worried more about the reactions of others rather than the action itself. While the consequences may be small like wearing a different type of shirt that’s "in style" rather than the one you prefer‚ sometimes the fear of judgement limits our growth. I know so many people who have many brilliant ideas inside of them who never

I chose to do my textual- to analysis to the painting “Judgement Day”. What I had noticed from the painting was the colors. They had different shades of blue and an off white. The blue means depression and the white represents the afterlife. Within the picture you’ll see a man with angel wings and also holding instruments in his hands. Then others in the background are dancing. When researching the painting it relates to the Harlem Renaissance era. His painting includes Jazz and African American

Franz Kafka’s short story‚ The Metamorphosis‚ illustrates the struggle of a family trying to manage with the insect transformation of the main character‚ Gregor Samsa. Although most readers might argue that the focus of the metamorphosis is based around Gregor due to his transformation; however‚ from the moment we meet Gregor‚ his reality insignificantly changes in spite of his drastic physical change. Gregor’s physical change introduces an altercation in Grete’s life that we see over the course

The Struggling Life of Two Men Franz Kafka and Gregor Samsa’s lives are in countless ways the same especially with their fathers. Franz’s father was named Herman‚ who triumph in his business of clothing; slightly resembling Gregor’s father’s named Herr‚ who failed in developing an increasing business. Herman was actually disappointed in his son’s dream of being a writer; unlike Herr that was very proud to have his son in a well situated job. Both of the fathers were impatient and both decided

complications it will bring (like I was)‚ Gregor starts to think about how much he dislikes the job he has. "Gregor’s first thought upon waking up as a creature are not even related to his new physical form‚ but to his state of affairs in his life" (Kafka‚ pg. 14). Moreover‚ the side-notes provided throughout these few pages are quite perplexing as well. For instance‚ when describing Gregor’s room‚ the author mentions a picture of a woman. The side-note directs the reader to the book’s glossary which

main character is Gregor Samsa. One morning Gregor had woken up from his sleep and realized he had changed into some kind of monstrous bug (Kafka‚ 137). When he realized this he had tried to stay in bed all morning deciding to not attend his job. Suddenly his parents were pounding on the door saying his boss Mr. Manager was there and wanted to talk to Gregor (Kafka‚ 143).

I agree with the statement that Shakespeare’s play Othello demonstrates the weakness of human judgement. The demise of both Othello and Iago is due to each one’s weak judge of character‚ and poor judgement of situations. Othello falls from a position of power and nobility to a debased shadow of his former self‚ as a result of Iago’s cunning plans. Yet had Othello a better sense of judgement Iago’s schemes would not have worked. One of Othello’s biggest flaws is his poor judge of character

After learning about the common errors in judgment‚ stereotypes‚ snap judgments‚ unwarranted assumptions‚ projection‚ the halo effect‚ and sweeping generalizations‚ it was evident that I have experienced them all (Bethel University 2013). The most common error in judgment‚ in my personal opinion‚ is stereotyping. A person is usually stereotyped into one category or another when they do not fit what society thinks they should (Bethel University‚ 2013). For example‚ my boyfriend has never been in any

In his book “Distinction A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste” Pierre Bourdieu states the middle classes are more pretentious as they are concerned with appearances. “As illustrated in their relationship between upward mobility‚ less spending on things‚ and a focus on education as they move from lower working class to middle class or the (petite bourgeoisie). Bourdieu states the middle class is committed to a symbolic representation of dominant lifestyle and status.”. e.g. the middle class
