    Media is the Scapegoat for Today’s World I do not believe that violence in video games‚ movies‚ and music affects the decisions of the people who play or watch them if they were raised right. I get very frustrated when people cannot take responsibility for their own actions. My whole life people have blamed the actions taken by people on some form of media. If this is true than it means I do not have free will‚ for the things I watch and interact with will shape the person I will become. That

    Ronald Reagan once said‚ “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for‚ protected‚ and handed on for them to do the same.” This quote perfectly supports my opinion that you do need to repeatedly win freedom.

    The lottery 1. Where do you think "The Lottery" takes place? What purpose do you suppose the writer has in making this setting appear so familiar and ordinary?

The story is a scapegoat story.  And all societies scapegoat(n.代罪羔羊).  The point

A much deeper evaluation of the portrayal

    “There can be no final truth in ethics any more than in physics‚ until the last man has had his experience and his say” (James 1). This quote from William James uproots the concept of ethics in society entirely. James begins to explain that every man will have his own experience in life‚ which will end up leading to different opinions about what is moral. According to James‚ the casuistic question is defined as “ask[ing] what the measure of the various goods and ills [are that] men recognize” (James
