Recommended: How does one's past experiences shape his or her identity

The topic I have chosen is how heroes and villains relate to each other. A question I need to answer is how are heroes different from villains? This might seem obvious and easy but I feel like it is important to tie my paper together. Another question I need to answer is how are heroes and villains similar? This is a little more tricky and requires more research. People always think of heroes and villains as opposites but I think if you dig a little deeper you will find that they have a lot more similarities than meets the eye. What needs to be asked to answer this is possibly “What drives them to do what they do?” Also, “Where did they come from?” A person’s background answers a lot of questions about why they act and where their values lie.

  • Darwin, Booker T. Washington and the Feminist Movement: How They Have All Influenced Modern Society

    1504 Words  | 4 Pages

    For my Project Learning Summary I chose to focus on two people and one movement that I believe have a strong impact on society today. Each of the topics has had an influence during their respective eras, and each proved that their work has gone onto make changes in the world as we see it today. I first looked at Darwin, for his work on natural selection and the significance it has had on science and religion. I then took another look at Booker T. Washington, and how his stance on integration of African Americans into a “white” society was at the end of slavery and what his efforts have done since. Lastly, I looked at the Feminist Movement and the efforts that were taken for improving equality as a whole in society.

    In most stories we enjoy, may it be from childhood or something more recent there is many times a theme that shows a clear hero and a clear villain. But ordinarily this is not the case in real life, there are few times that this is quite that simple. There are many sides to each story, and sometimes people turn a blind eye to, or ignore the opposing side’s argument. But if we look at both sides of a situation in the stories we can more clearly understand what is going on, moreover the villains in the book or play would seem more real, instead of a horrible person being evil for no reason, these two people have their own agenda may it be a ruthless vengeance or misplaced trust.

    After completing this assignment, I am amazed on how much of a better understanding I have on these concepts. Not only am I able to connect them with situations in daily life, but even to the extent at which I can relate them to circumstances in a movie. The two topics that I chose to explore further and relate to the movie and each other were conflict and politeness theory. Not only did I realize my ability to connect such topics to fulfill this assignment, but I somehow feel that my future experiences watching movies or paying attention to others daily behaviors will be more analytical after completing this assignment.

    This assignment is entirely subjective and could result in a wide range of responses, from family members to historical figures to religious leaders. In this assignment there is no wrong answer, as an individual’s topic is left up to personal choice and discretion. In the grading of this assignment, the hero that is selected by a student should have no bearing on the grade they receive on their project. This assignment’s grading must be based on academic requirements, as “home and classroom work should be judged by ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance” (Shoop, 2006, p. 5). Student work should be graded on topics such as formatting and mechanics, as well as persuasiveness or explanation, which would not be impacted by any student’s choice of hero. Having examined the legal issues related to this specific scenario, the next step is to determine the appropriateness of displaying the student’s

  • Hero Vs Hero Essay

    758 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my opinion, a hero is someone whose principal purpose, whether it be in one situation or over the span of their entire life, is to help others while simultaneously making the world a better place. When the word hero is brought up, the most prevailing image that comes to mind is superheroes like Batman and Superman. But I don’t think you have to have superpowers or even be well known in order to be a hero. There are people all over the world whose intention is to do selfless deeds and go out of their way for others without expectation of obtaining anything in return. These are the type of people I like to consider everyday heroes. They go through life just trying to be the best they can and trying to help as many people as they can. Whether

    Tragic figures are characters that aim for a goal but never reach it. They suffer throughout their story and are most likely to die before the play ends. The tragic hero is the most commonly known of these figures, but tragic villains also exist. An example of the tragic hero is Franz Woyzeck, of Georg Büchner’s working-class tragedy ‘Woyzeck’. Compared and contrasted to Woyzeck is the tragic villain, Ferdinand, of John Webster’s tragedy ‘The Duchess of Malfi’.

  • What Is Mental Health Education Essay

    The topic that I choose is mental health education for teenagers in school. Mental health is a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being. In schools we have classes focusing upon the physical and educational well-being of students but has ignored the mental well-being. The lack of mental health education results in people not knowing how to properly interact with mental illness both in others and with themselves. Not only is the knowledge of how to deal with mental illness an issue but the stigmatization that has derived from the lack of understanding creates a negative environment in confronting these illnesses.
