Cultures are set in a way that if changes occur‚ they keep the fundamental values of the former culture and add new beliefs from the newer generation. However‚ change has lead to negative reactions for some and others can accept. In Chinua Achebe’s “Dead Man’s Path”‚ Michael Obi‚ the new headmaster of a progressive school‚ has different religious beliefs from the village he lives in. He wants to close the path that leads to the village’s burial grounds and impose modern views to the traditional principles

Character Review – Dead Poets Society Neil Perry 1. Neil Perry relationship with his father is one with a lack of communication and misunderstanding.

James Joyce – The Dead. James Joyce’s ‘The Dead’ written in 1914‚ is a short story‚ centering on protagonist Gabriel Conroy and his journey of development of the self.

Dead Poets Society “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” I believe that this means that people live a life that they do not want to live. They want to do something else with their time but they find themselves stuck because of peer pressure and/or parents. Take Neal Perry for example. His father wanted him to be a doctor and he planned his whole life out for him. And all Neal really wanted to do was act but his dad was totally against it and he found himself torn between doing what makes

Norms are questioned‚ different values are internalized‚ and sanctions may even change to protect or attack this change.
