- 521: Moby Dick
- ... only dire events involve a certain goose of tragic toughness and the routine political loss of a job not worth holding. Hence the whimsical apology, in advance, for the "stern and sombre aspect" of Hester's story--- "too much ungladdened by genial sunshine; to little relieved by the tender and familiar influences which soften almost every scene of nature and real life, and, undoubtedly, should soften every picture of them"--- an ... would take "the universal thump" with equanimity, and cry three cheers for Nantucket--- "and come a stove boat and stove body when they will, for stave my soul, Jove himself cannot." The world of Ishmael's setting forth, like the world of the Custom House, was undimmed by the dark idea and seemingly invulnerable to any Jovian thunderbolts. God was above young Ishmael's world as he packed his bag for Cape Horn and the Pacific; and even as he read on the tablets of Father Mapple's chapel in New Bedford the fate of the whalemen who ...
- 522: Jim Morrison: The Lizard King
- ... Doors, were probably nothing without lead singer, Jim Morrison. Morrison a man, who lived through many hardships, lived a troubled life, which included drugs, women, and many parties. To tell a story of this man’s life is to be an interesting journey but in order to do this we need to first understand what happened to Jimmy as a young man. He grew up with a sister, Anne, who was three years younger than he and a younger brother, Andy, who was six years younger. Morrison’s father, Steve, was “…stationed at nearby Kirtland Air Base where he was the executive officer and number two man at what was called the Naval Air Special Weapons Facility”(Hopkins, 3). His job had something to do with atomic energy but, of course, it was top secret since it was with the Navy and all. Jim’s mother, Clara, met Steve at a Navy dance that was held when she went to visit her younger sister in Hawaii. Jimmy, that’s what his parents called him while he was young; while ...
- 523: Tragic Heroes In King Lear, Ha
- ... person or people. Most tragedies end up on a bad path, because the truth comes out in all directions upon the tragic hero. When, the truth all comes out on the tragic hero he can t control it and it puts him in a jam. In tragedy, usually the truth is what will cause the downfall of the tragic hero. In every tragedy, there is always more and more complication that ... chain of consequences that inexorably precipitous his own doom. 2 Page 224 A tragic hero is seen as a link of chain, one link adding to another until the end, for the tragic hero it s the end of his life, when to the chain it s the ending of the link and nothing else. The tragic hero Oedipus and King Lear fall into this tragic faith, because they don t see the truth, only what they want to see and ...
- 524: Teddy Roosevelt
- ... his own and distance himself from the political bosses and machines that got him elected. The head of the Republican machine, Thomas Platt, had misgivings about making Roosevelt governor of New York because of Roosevelt's total independence and his reform nature. But in the gubernatorial race of 1898, with the bad press the Republican Party was receiving, there seemed to be no one else who had a chance. Roosevelt was riding the crest of the wave of being a true war hero, and with Platt's help together they might keep the Democrats from winning the office. Platt in return for his help expected Roosevelt to let him make the appointments and carry the party line. Roosevelt had no intentions of being Platt's puppet, and as soon as he got in office the two would begin to battle. Roosevelt had to be careful, because to totally alienate Platt would cripple his chances to go any further politically ...
- 525: Billy Budd 2
- ... an unorthodox practice (that is; jumping from pt. to point), of writing an essay I shall constantly change and directions and goals of what it is I wish to state. One may perceive the book s structure to be loose and quite flexible; one finds that the fits and starts, and the shifting of lengths between chapters are the best way to convey the feelings/ meanings of Billy s story. Maybe the narrator believes that Billy is true on a deeper sense; in other words, it corresponds to real experience. Don t you, yourself find that when you are trying to make a major decision, or living through some crucial event your mind keeps shifting from one thing to another, sometimes quickly and dramatically, sometimes inventing ...
- 526: The Spread of AIDS
- ... the infection is transmitted to protect ourselves from it without resorting to such extremes as mandatory testing, enforced quarantine or total celibacy. But too few people are heeding the AIDS message. Perhaps many simply don't like or want to believe what they hear, preferring to think that AIDS "can't happen to them." Experts repeatedly remind us that infective agents do not discriminate, but can infect any and everyone. Like other communicable diseases, AIDS can strike anyone. It is not necessarily confined to a few ... by modern antibiotics and vaccines about our ability to conquer infections, the Western world was ill prepared to cope with the advent of AIDS in 1981. (Retro- spective studies now put the first reported U.S. case of AIDS as far back as 1968.) The arrival of a new and lethal virus caught us off guard. Research suggests that the agent responsible for AIDS probably dates from the 1950s, with ...
- 527: Won't Libertarian Socialism Destroy Individuality?
- Won't Libertarian Socialism Destroy Individuality? No. Libertarian socialism only suppresses individuality for those who are so shallow that they can't separate their identity from what they own. However, be that as it may, this is an important objection to any form of socialism and, given the example of "socialist" Russia, needs to be discussed more ... non-hierarchical societies and organisations. We will discuss "primitive" cultures as an example of non-hierarchical societies in section I.7.1. Here, however, we indicate how anarchist organisations will protect and increase an individual's sense of self. Anarchist organisations and tactics are designed to promote individuality. They are decentralised, participatory organisations and so they give those involved the "social space" required to express themselves and develop their abilities ...

When you let them get all their emotions out the chances of them having depression or any other disorder in the future, is much less then a person who doesn’t talk to anybody about it. One type of child abuse is the shaking child syndrome. This is when you shake the baby forcefully usually by the shoulders causing the blood vessels that bridge the brain and skull to tear. This could lead to seizures, lethargy, vomiting and irritability and eye injuries, extreme cases could lead to coma or even death. You don’t have to be a bad mother to do this to your child just one day you could be feed up with the child and when it won’t stop crying you can’t control ...
