Mannerism of Students from the East and West
A U.S student comes home from school and watches television. Later that student copies the behaviors he viewed and learned from television.
The media in our society has a huge impact on the behaviors of children. These attitudes and manners of students towards teachers and elders are influenced greatly by television, as they initiate behaviors they have learned on television.
In contrast most Asian, students sit quietly waiting for the teacher to come into the classroom and respectively welcome him/her. When the teacher comes into the classroom, all the students stand up for him/her as a form of respect. For Asian students, manners and respect towards elders and teachers is a part of their culture. Generally people from these countries are very respectful to guest and are expected to drop everything when a guest visits their house. The young of the family greet them, serve food and tea, to make them feel welcome. While this is admirable, it is partly because these cultures do not encourage freethinking.
On an average school day, US teachers encounter harsh behavior and disrespect from the students. They put up with disrespectful behavior: cursing, talking back, and talking while they are speaking. For this type of behavior, an Asian student would receive caning and other forms of punishment. The student would not feel any resentment towards the teacher. Teachers are held in high esteem. On the other hand, students in the U.S say and do anything they want without any regard for elders. They are encouraged by the media to think they are the bosses and it is their right to do as they please.
...life. All in all Prospero is a man that takes advantage of the weaknesses of others in order to gain power the same way modernizing civilization works. However it is seen later in the play that Prospero is as dependent on Ariel as Ariel is on Prospero. Without each other they are weak and have no power. This is parallel with the fact that modern civilization needs people just as much as people need it.
This is presented through the emotive language of Miranda “I have suffered with those that are suffering”, through the empathy that is displayed by Miranda the violent action of Prospero on the ship that carries Antonio and the royals are demonstrated. Through this violent action Prospero demonstrates his desire to get revenge on all the people that have harmed him and his daughter. However, Prospero also commands Ariel to protect the people on board, coupled with this, the metaphor “The government I cast upon my brother and to my state grew stranger” shows that he is on the path to self-enlightenment due to his acknowledgement of his own downfall. Prospero through the order to protect the people and the use of the personal pronoun in the metaphor displays that he has identified his own role in his downfall. By accepting his role he is able to start to forgive Antonio and progress on the path to enlightenment. However, he is presented to not have reached complete self-enlightenment through his vengeful treatment of Caliban seen through the metaphor “A devil, a born devil on whose nature, nurture can never stick”. Through this metaphor, he illustrates that he
In the Italian movie Life is Beautiful, the main character Guido, played by Roberto Benigni, prioritizes his son and wife’s well being over his own. A prime example of a time when Guido’s unconditional love was instrumental to his survival occurs when he resigned himself to an inevitable end while working in the anvil factory, until he recognizes that his survival is vital to his son’s (Benigni). Although his sense of self-sacrifice seems to contradict the notion of self-preservation, Guido’s motive to endure the atrocities of the concentration camp was so he could continue to care for his son, otherwise he would have given into the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and embraced death as an end to his
Pedro and Pablo Vicario, being the ones who held the knives that murdered him, are the direct cause of Santiago Nasar’s death, although, their motive was not an act of jealousy or rage. The underlying reason for their crime came from the upholding of their family's honor after they find out that Santiago Nasar has ruined their sister, Angela Vicario, and their family name, by taking her virginity. Many times throughout the novel, it is apparent that the twins truly don’t want to kill Santiago, but feel they have to. Their hesitation can be observed many times throughout the book by the fact that they wait so long to kill Santiago, and all the while tell everyone they come into contact with of their plan. They repeatedly tell people, “we’re going to kill Santiago Nasar” (59), vocalizing their plans to “more than a dozen people who had gone to buy milk” (66). Their advertising of their intentions steers one to believe that they wished to be stopped. This sentiment is fortified after Colonel Aponte takes away the boys’ knives. Pedro “considered his duty fulfilled when the mayor disarmed them” (69), showing his ...
While at the meat market, Pablo and Pedro both agreed that they were “going to kill Santiago Nasar” (52). The brothers told several people about their plan to commit a murder. When asked why did they need to kill Santiago Nasar, they responded by saying Santiago Nasar knows the reason why. Many people ignored their decision to kill Santiago Nasar because of their “reputation as good people” (52). Prior to the murder of Santiago Nasar, the Vicario brothers were seen as “good people” who would not be thought of as the type of people to commit a crime; however, the Vicario brothers only go through with the act because they feel the need to defend their sister for losing her virginity to Santiago Nasar. Through their decision, the reader learns that honor is important to the Vicario brothers. Other characters in the novel, such as Don Rogelio de la Flor, did not believe the two brothers’ plan to kill anyone, especially if it was someone wealthy because the twins are not as well off as Santiago Nasar. Don Rogelio de la Flor says to his wife, Clotilde Armenta, who warned him about the brothers’ plan, that “‘those two aren’t about to kill anybody, much less someone rich’” (55). Through the thought processes of the townspeople and conversations of other characters, details that are not directly stated about Pedro and Pablo Vicario are
Although Santiago Nasar is murdered at the hands of the Vicario brothers, the entire town shares a role in his death. On the morning that Santiago Nasar is to be killed, Pablo and Pedro Vicario tell everyone they see that they are going to "cut his
The media in today’s society is very influential on children. There are many things that children at a very young age are learning, for example violence. Many children learn violent behavior and they become violent and aggressive children because they are exposed to so much mature content. Many parents are not aware of what their children are watching, and without knowing it, their children are raised by the media. Many television shows contain a lot of violence, for example kids fighting each other, kids bullying other kids and kids yelling and disrespecting their parents. Unfortunately, at a very young age children are learning to be aggressive and violent because they are spending more time watching television than spending it with the family. Now days many kids turn into bullies because they believe it is a way to defend them, a way to gain respect and admiration from their peers. They do not respect their parents and they get out of control at a very young age, and many parents cannot control their behavior. If parents do not monitor what their children are watching, then the media will have a great impact on their children’s life.
The effect of the media on young children is especially salient. Young children often learn how to act and behave from what they observe at home, from the adults and older peers they come in contact with, and from what they see on television.

Nursing surrounds the concept of patient care physically, mentally and ethically. The therapeutic relationship that is created is built on the knowledge and skills of the nurse and relies on patient and nurse trusting one another. The use of nursing skills can ensure these boundaries are maintained, it allows for safe patient care. Professional boundaries are the line that nurses cannot cross, involving aspects such as patient confidentiality and privacy, ensuring legal aspects of nursing and the boundaries put in place are not breached. However, nurses accepting financial or personal gain from patient can also cross these professional boundaries. It is only through education in this area that the rights of patients can be preserved, as well as the nursing standards. Through education in areas such as confidentiality, boundaries can remain in tact and the patient care can remain within the zone of helpfulness.
Prospero creates a storm out of rage in order to get even with his enemies. Prospero wants to seek revenge on his brother, Antonio. “My brother and thy uncle, called Antonio-I pray thee, mark me-that a brother should Be so perfidious!” (Act I Scene I Lines 66-68). Prospero is saying that his feelings of love and trust toward his brother are gone because Antonio committed treacherous offenses toward him. Prospero truly thought he could trust his brother. He gave Antonio some of his power as duke so that he could pursue his studies of magic. It turned out that Antonio could not be trusted because he stole all of Prospero's power from him. Prospero's supporters were the only reason he was not executed. Instead, Antonio exiled him and his daughter, Miranda, out to sea in an abandoned ship. Eventually, they end up on a deserted island. Prospero spends twelve years formulating a plan to finally get his revenge. Some may say that Prospero is a good guy because he forgives his brother at the end of the play. This is not true because if he really was a heroic man, he would not have shipwrecked his brother. He would have taken the high road and
But why the tendency toward revenge in the first place? What was it about the personality and mental disposition of Prospero that caused him to lust for revenge against his brother, Antonio? And Caliban. Why couldn't Prospero overlook his social naïveté when it came to handling a woman? (1.2.350) In this portion of the website, I will examine those questions and attempt to provide an answer and an insight into the psychology of Prospero.
But with Prospero informing Miranda of this at such a late stage in her life is this Prospero as a control freak only allowing his daughter Miranda to know the truth when he feels it is time or is it Prospero being caring keeping this information from Miranda until she is of an age when she can fully understand who she is and where she came from?, again it is not clear to see if Prospero's intentions are for his own good or the good of his daughter.
Prospero presents himself as a victim of injustice, however his belief of justice and injustice is somewhat contradicting. He takes advantage of this authority over other people and situations he encounters while using his integrity and compassion to mask his dangerous plans and to retain love and respect. The Tempest in the end suggests that love and compassion are more effective political tools than violence, hatred or even abusive magic.
Prospero uses the power of love to influence his daughter Miranda. Prospero knows that Miranda is devoted to him so he uses guilt to maintain her devotion. Miranda tells her father “Alack, what trouble/Was I then to you!” (I.2.153.154) her saying that to him shows that because of Prospero making her feel guilty, she is willing to do anything just for him. “Had I been any god of power, I would/Have sunk the sea within the earth…” (I.2.10.11). This quote indicates that she understood the extent of her father’s power and she had possessed the same amount of power, she would use it differently with Prospero. His power over Miranda is one that is continuously in this play. Prospero does say “I have done nothing, but in care of thee, /of thee, my dearest one…”(I.2.16.17) when he says that he makes it known that he does love his daughter and only trying to protect.
