A Gap Year: Just Say No Essay -- Education, A Gap Year

You’re coming back from a well needed break from school and you feel invigorated and ready to start. The first few weeks are the hardest to adjust to because your brain hasn’t been used throughout the break. The dilemma with breaks, such as summer break, is that one loses valuable information from past academic courses that are essential to ones progress towards higher education. Imagine a whole year without learning and then coming back to intense rigorous classes at a University. Seniors at high schools over the nation have the opportunity of taking a year off before committing to a college. This is known as a Gap Year; instead of directly enrolling into a University many students feel the need to take a break before starting their education towards their future career. Yes, a Gap Year does sound pleasing and beneficial, but in the long run it can be damaging towards ones future. Students should be aware of the ramification a Gap Year brings, such as, t he possibility for enrolling in a graduate school is lower, academic growth is reduced, and social obstacles become present. Before understanding the consequences of a gap year, it is important to understand why people take a Gap Year. Senior year can be tense and come with several unanswered questions. Seniors are given four options when leaving High School. Those choices are either joining the army, going straight to work, applying to college, or taking a Gap Year.

Early in the play Macbeth caleed lady

This essay will examine the context of Shakespeare's Macbeth and primarily delve into the relationship of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as a partnership to determine whether, or not, their marriage is based on equal terms, or how this emphasizes her strength of mind that often overpowers his moral beliefs. As well as interpreting one another's attitudes when not in scenes together and how they differ when separated. It will also analyse their personalities varied stances and how they express them through vocabulary from the beginning of the first act throughout the course of the play until their inevitable demise. This will ultimately define the quote, â€Å"my dearest partner of greatness†. Before Macbeth is seen and Lady Macbeth is mentioned, their characters are built on the compliments of others. In Act 1 Scene 2 the captain says â€Å"For Brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name†. Explaining early of Macbeth's brave and ruthless prowess in battle, later in this scene Ross describes him as â€Å"Bellona's Bridegroom†, more of a remark directed at Lady Macbeth and is in fact the first mention of her in the play. Bellona is the ancient Roman goddess of war and is not the only reference to ancient Rome in the play. The other obvious boasting of Macbeth comes in Duncan's constant gratitude and awe, frequently describing him as â€Å"Noble Macbeth† or â€Å"O worthiest Cousin!†, Act 1 scene 2 and act 1 scene 4, respectively. Therefore when the audience first meet Macbeth in the scene 3 of the first Act and he confronts the witches, it is his reputation that proceeds him as he's not quite timid but hesitant to communicate with the mystical strangers that confront him before Banquo addresses them. He is also doubtfully sceptical whether to believe their foretelling: â€Å"Not within the prospect of belief†, as one would be in a situation until his evidence is disclosed in the form of Ross and Angus' confirmation of him being crowned Thane of Cawdor, â€Å"as happy prologues to the swelling act of the imperial theme†. He believes that now the first prediction has come true also him being Thane of Glamis that surely they were just the stepping stones to his ultimate goal. When the audience first encounter Lady Macbeth in Scene of the first act she is speaking the words of her husband's letter. In this letter he describes her as â€Å"my dearest partner of greatness, that thou mightst not lose the due of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee.† Suggesting they are a partnership and he has thought to inform her of the news so she shares in his pride, he also knows that she will scheme their next move. After reading the letter she contemplates his convictions, despite his widely respected bravery and manliness in battle she debates whether he can act in the same manner when fighting for personal gain against his former compares – â€Å"yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o'th' milk of human kindness†. However unfounded her doubts they are correct because after hearing the witches prophecies two scenes earlier, â€Å"If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, without my stir†, he became Thane of Cawdor with nothing but honourable service and so he's unsure whether to act unmorally in this circumstance. In Scene 4, when Macbeth and Banquo arrive at Duncan's camp, Macbeth's attitude is courteous and faithful towards the king but once Duncan confirms that his heir will be his eldest, Malcolm, Macbeth's true intentions are revealed in an aside, a language devise common in plays similar to a monologue in which a character will often speak his genuine mental thoughts while acting or saying differed points in his real conversation. â€Å"The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down, or o'er leap, for in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.† Macbeth mentions that Malcolm is an obstacle in which he must overcome if he should become king and then Shakespeare uses the first of many rhyming couplets in the play. In the play, â€Å"Macbeth† a rhyming couplet is commonly used before a major event or when someone is thinking aloud to inform the audience of a characters' thoughts. In Act 1 Scene 5 Lady Macbeth says, â€Å"That I pour my spirits in thine ear, and chastise with the valour of my tongue†. Indicating her wishes to inspire him to do betraying deeds with her passion for their royal goal. She is not commanding him to do so that may have been intimated to sound as though she is in control. However, this passage is a vital one at this point in the play, which verifies Lady Macbeth is not in complete command but still has a voice in matters. It infers she makes her suggestion then persuades him to follow through using her manipulative nature and sexuality. It is a rarity that a woman in this Elizabethan society would have any say in her husband's, particularly a soldier's, decisions. Primarily for the misogynistic views harboured by physically strong alpha male's with housebound wives. In Act 1 Scene 5 Lady Macbeth confirms that at the beginning of the play she not cruel nor amoral, nor insensitive; it is purely that she is complete and utterly strong minded and committed to her aspirations; â€Å"make thick my blood; stop up th' access and passage to remorse, that no compunctious visitings o nature shake my purpose, nor keep between the effect† Lady Macbeth deliberately becomes remorseless so she can govern her husband to his power which will also benefits her. These chosen sacrifice pay their price later in the play: â€Å"Thy letters have transported me beyond This ignorant present, and I feel now The future in the instant†. Macbeth's letters have aroused her devious nature and she has plotted and schemed. She has pictures herself as queen to him and is now relentlessly obsessing to crown herself, metaphorically and literally, with her achievement. â€Å"look like the innocent flower but be the serpent lying under't† Lady Macbeth is adamant that Macbeth carries out her wishes. â€Å"and you shall put this night's great business into my dispatch† She commands and takes control of the situation due to her continuing doubts about his moral beliefs and willpower interrupting their mission. â€Å"We will speak further† Macbeth remains unconvinced: â€Å"To alter favour ever is to fear†. She ignores his pleas insisting, on the danger that his feelings may bring to this tentative position. Macbeth's uncertainty can be partly due to not just being made Cawdor but the previous affiliation and favours Duncan has bestowed on him. â€Å"Your majesty loads our house: for those of old,† Implying Duncan's favours go beyond his recent praise further evidence for this can be cited in Act 1 Scene 4 â€Å"The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. Your highness' part Is to receive our duties; and our duties Are to your throne†. In Act 1 Scene 7 Macbeth's soliloquy, another monologue like language device preferred by Shakespeare in â€Å"Macbeth†, often express his characters deepest desires and overly negative thoughts of the people around them: â€Å"If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly† Macbeth expresses that he doesn't want to torture Duncan and a quick and painless sleeping death would be all he could deliver all be it he feels it's unjust to murder such an honourable man in his sleep. â€Å"this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all here† He further expresses his reluctance to the task at hand but still sees it's importance; he indicates that if and when he kills Duncan that would be the be all and end all and no acts would follow, then he would barely hesitate. However, he knows this isn't the case and must find strength for this is just a step to his path of greatness: â€Å"as I am his kinsman and his subject, strong both against the deed; then, as his host who should against the murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself†. Macbeth's feelings of guilt intensify as not only as his loyal server to the king and country but as his host, is not a righteous path to walk down. â€Å"I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself and falls on the other.† He has no motive but the selfish wishes and ambitions of himself and his wife. Therefore he feels it can only be a unsatisfactory reason for creating such a cowardly and despicable act of murder. In Act 1Scene 7 Lady Macbeth's pride and utter determination is unreserved, she is overpowering Macbeth's guilt and with sheer will. She is not afraid of what outcome may follow and she is ordering him to do as she pleases: Macbeth: â€Å"we will proceed no further in this business† Lady Macbeth: â€Å"Was the hope drunk wherein you dress'd yourself? Hath it slept since?† She accuses him of being cowardly and expresses that his determination has died since they last spoke of their plans: â€Å"Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire?† In claiming his fear of acting on his ambitions, she is hoping to touch a nerve by the continuous raging mockery; she is solely hoping to spur him on to do the deed she craves him to act on: â€Å"And live a coward in thine own esteem† Macbeth's response is ferocious; he knows he has to silence her at once: â€Å"Prithee, peace: I dare do all that may become a man; who dares do more is none.† He insists he as a worthy man and will act on any bravery expected of a man. This line implies he is as noble as a soldier could be but he cannot do an unjust duty, possibly subconsciously is not only that the king hasn't ordered but that a woman has. â€Å"What beast was't, then, that made you break this enterprise to me? When you durst do it, then you were a man; And, to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man.† Lady Macbeth's questions his manhood. This point proving if maybe more than any that Lady Macbeth's marriage to Macbeth is more equal than most. A typical woman in Elizabethan society to raise her voice to her husband, a soldier, a thane, and question his manly judgement, would not be permitted: â€Å"while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this†. Lady Macbeth continues insisting the strength of a man's word and that it cannot be broken. â€Å"We fail! But screw your courage to the sticking-place, And we'll not fail.† Her wondrous dreams conclude that winning is all that matters; she wants and needs to be queen or die trying imploring him to commit himself to the act albeit treasonous. In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth's soliloquy revolves around imagining a dagger placed in front of him although knowing it is imaginary and just a fragment of his guilt stricken imagination: â€Å"Is this a dagger which I see before me† â€Å"Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.† Shakespeare compares Macbeth to an animal of the night; he must follow out his deed with conviction to take charge of his pack. In the animal kingdom such an act would regularly occur and not be looked at twice as is natural to those. Macbeth must hunt like the wolf, the original dog, and deny his conscience in order to become the ultimate predator. At the end of the soliloquy, in scene 7 of the first act, are two separate rhyming couplets; Shakespeare's use of rhyming couplets is usually to depict the characters thoughts just before a major event: â€Å"Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.† Macbeth is summoning himself to stop his ranting and perform hastily, which is quite true. The longer he thinks about it the less likely he is to do it. â€Å"Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell.† The audience now presumes after this act that the deed was carried out. The first lines in Act 1 Scene 2 are of Lady Macbeth discussing alcohol; â€Å"That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold; What hath quench'd them hath given me fire.† The negative effect on them has had the effect on her she craves, and enabled her to feel no guilt on the assassination. When Macbeth returns bearing the good news, in her mind, she makes a pitiful excuse of why she has not carried out the deed she relished more than him. â€Å"Had he not resembled My father as he slept, I had done't.† Thus more evidence suggesting Lady Macbeth is not a psychopath as her ambitions that have been manifested in aggressive and murderous behaviour, she could not follow through personally for she is not a warrior like Macbeth and has probably never taken a life. Yet, after the murder, Macbeth's panicking paranoiac behaviour is ignored by Lady Macbeth Macbeth: â€Å"‘Glamis hath murder'd sleep, and therefore Cawdor Shall sleep no more; Macbeth shall sleep no more.'† Lady Macbeth: â€Å"Why, worthy thane, You do unbend your noble strength, to think So brainsickly of things.† Macbeth's is instantly driven mad after the murder of Duncan. He cannot yet control his acts; he's in a frenzy of hysteria. He believes he will never wash his hands of the deed: â€Å"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand?† Lady Macbeth's attitude is very different: â€Å"Your constancy Hath left you unattended.† She is now in complete control and he relies on her commands to get through the night and she scornfully scrutinizes his behaviour. In Act 2 scene 3, Shakespeare uses dramatic irony after the king has been murdered. Lady Macbeth is told of the news by Macduff: â€Å"O gentle lady,' Tis not for you to hear what I can speak: The repetition, in a woman's ear, Would murder as it fell† Later in the scene, Macbeth is verbally burbling over the murder of the guards and arousing suspicion from the on looking Thanes; Lady Macbeth faints out of sheer concern of their task being ended by the clumsiness of her husband. This indicates her aiding him is not only for her own interests but implying that their relationship is a partnership. Since Act 1 Scene 3 the relationship of Banquo and Macbeth has altered immensely. At the beginning of Act 3, Banquo is aware of Macbeth's actions but doesn't tell his former noble accomplice in case he himself is murdered: â€Å"Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, as the weird women promised, and, I fear, Thou play'dst most foully for't†. After Macbeth talks neighbourly to Banquo and wishes him farewell, while transparently finding the details of his departure, his true thoughts are known â€Å"There is none but he Whose being I do fear† Shakespeare also makes another Ancient Rome reference as â€Å"Mark Antony's was by Caesar.† In Act 3 Scene1, when Macbeth orders Banquo's murders, this could be considered the pivotal moment in the play. He does not consult his wife and grows independent in amoral sin. This role reversal is made increasingly imminent in the following scene where Lady Macbeth is seen weary and weak, symbolizing Macbeth's turn in ability to be able to carry out evil acts without doubt. Lady Macbeth from this point on is weakened and without need to control her husband and she soon loses the ability to control herself. Macbeth emblazoned with power before he goes insane with guilt â€Å"Lady Macbeth: what's to be done? Macbeth: Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, Till thou applaud the deed.† In Act 3 scene 4 when Macbeth is asked to sit yet he sees the ghost of Banquo in his chair his guilt and paranoia is blatant, he is instantly on the defensive though not being challenged â€Å"Thou canst not say I did it: never shake Thy gory locks at me.† Lady Macbeth reaches in as in fainting to distract attention, she claims an excuse before expressing her rage to Macbeth â€Å"Are you a man?† and â€Å"What, quite unmann'd in folly?†. Ever questioning his manhood â€Å"Blood hath been shed ere now, i' the olden time, Ere human statute purged the gentle weal; Ay, and since too, murders have been perform'd†¦but now they rise again,† Historically, most people viewing the play â€Å"Macbeth† when it was first acted, would have generally believed in the supernatural, therefore Shakespeare is adding a supernatural element that people would be famililar with. In the modern day, Banquo's ghost would be like the dagger and just a symbolic prop hinted as a piece of imagination. However then like the witches, they would genuinely believe that the dead would be joining the hosts at dinner. Macbeth is trying to claim a manliness that would be true to his valour as a soldier, under the mockery of his wife, â€Å"Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble†, inferring nothing will scare him but his conscience. At the end of Scene 4 of the third act, Lady Macbeth is found asking about what he is going to do about Macduff and generally what next? For now Macbeth is in control and she is doing what he wishes despite the incident with Banquo's ghost, he is firmly now placed as the man in their relationship. In Act 4 Scene 1 Macbeth is confronted with three apparitions whose predictions reveal: â€Å"Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff; Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough.† Macbeth was originally worried about Macduff but now this has been confirmed he is thankful. â€Å"Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn The power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth.† Macbeth foolishly decides this means no one can kill him and he forgets his initial fears of Macduff. â€Å"Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him.† This further comforts Macbeth as he now thinks he is invincible because no one can physically move a forest. However, the witches ploy is to meddle and Shakespeare has written these as trickery, Macduff was born of a caesarean section and is not according to Shakespearian audience not of woman born. By Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane, he means the wood moves in leaves and camouflage. Hecates orders of mischief were carried out for their previous prophecies were factually beneficial. Now they are misleading him into believing he is immortal and will not be defeated: â€Å"Time, thou anticipatest my dread exploits:† Macbeth knows he has not much time but must act on the news of Macduff gathering an army but does not seek his Lady's help he is instead overly casual of the situation relating to his recent news. In Act 5 Scene 1, Shakespeare uses Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking sequence to relive the events of the couples past for the audience, which puts subsequent scenes into perspective for them: â€Å"a soldier, and afeard?† She speaks of her husband's nerves but also of her own remorse â€Å"What, will these hands ne'er be clean?† Lady Macbeth's initial empowerment has been deadened by guilt and driven her to the brink of insanity; she who criticized Macbeth for his lack of conviction is now whimsical and helpless and her death is imminent. â€Å"What does the tyrant?† and â€Å"confident tyrant† Menteith describes Macbeth as a tyrant, abusing his power, cheating and lying. His former colleagues feel none but disdain for his actions. â€Å"Some say he's mad; others that lesser hate him Do call it valiant fury† These two statements of madness and bravery display hatred with mutual respect. His wrath is now coming to a close but he cannot turn back now he must die like a noble soldier as he lived most of his adult life but he is still not completely aware of his soon departure for the words of the three witches gave him false hope. â€Å"Bring me no more report† â€Å"Shall never sag with doubt nor shake with fear.† Macbeth is in complete power; he has become the evil dictator his wife aspired him to yet she is not in the health to see it. â€Å"Bring it after me. I will not be afraid of death and bane, Till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane.† This rhyming couplet represents Macbeth's loss of doubt; everything he feared before he has embraced and it has empowered him as a king to fight, not for his country, for himself and only himself. â€Å"Were I from Dunsinane away and clear, Profit again should hardly draw me here.† The Doctor's self-sympathy in aside rhyming couplet is representative of all the servants and unlucky servers of the King who have been forced to loyalty under his emphatic regime. In Act 5 Scene 5 â€Å"I have almost forgot the taste of fears; The time has been, my senses would have cool'd To hear a night-shriek† This is Macbeth's admitting his change in character but know his life has been so corrupted by murders of the innocent. â€Å"She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word.† When Lady Macbeth dies, Macbeth is almost emotionless as he soon discovers his confidence was unjust and his life will soon be over as well. â€Å"If this which he avouches does appear, There is nor flying hence nor tarrying here. I gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish the estate o' the world were now undone. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back.† Macbeth is now prepared for immortality, he can take back his sins and treacheries for now he can only fight till death and die with the honour of a soldier albeit a corrupt one. â€Å"Why should I play the Roman fool, and die On mine own sword?† Macbeth again references Ancient Rome, he expresses the urge to die fighting. His wife is dead as well as his best friend and that was at his hands and also his king. Macbeth's death was always inevitable. â€Å"Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen† I don't believe Malcolm's comments are entirely accurate way to describe Macbeth and Lady Macbeth because even though there are some elements of truth there, in the end, they regretted their actions and regret is not something a â€Å"butcher† or a â€Å"fiend† might feel. A â€Å"butcher† and a â€Å"fiend† are the alter egos of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The starting point of Macbeth and actions are the witches' prediction. This is the cause of their actions because the predictions were already planted in their minds. Macbeth cannot be described as a butcher because individually he would not of been able to kill the king. Although Lady Macbeth manipulated him into murdering Duncan, she was drunk on royal fantasies, and the next day her guilt became unbearable and led to her loss of sanity and subsequently, her death. Macbeth could also not bring himself to murder Banquo or Macduff's family personally so ordered assassins to kill them instead. In conclusion, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth can be described as partners. However were never in equal roles. One needs to be stronger and dominant at each given time although this position is exchanged throughout the course of the play.

Essay on the Battle of the Sexes in Taming of the Shrew

The Battle of the Sexes in Taming of the Shrew Battle of the Sexes would have been another appropriate title for this play because the entire play is women verses men, men verses women. This battle of the sexes shows no boundaries between the rich and poor, young or old, man or women. The basis of all the rivalry stems from the fact that the men in this play look at the women as if they were objects, instead of human beings with feelings. This theory that women are merely objects creates an environment that the women have to adapt to and survive in and the environment of a person will depict what he or she will become, resulting in a battle between the sexes. The Taming of the Shrew is set in a time period that did not accept†¦show more content†¦Bianca was described as sweet and quiet. She never spoke out of turn, and was always obedient, qualities that men desired in their future wives. For the majority of the book, this is how Bianca acts, but the audience watching the play is able to see small parts where there is another side of Bianca a side that she keeps hidden from the males in her society. One clear example of this is in Act 1 Scene 1 when Bianca whispers to her sister Katherine so that no one else can hear her; Content thee in my discontent? This clearly shows that Bianca is a good actress. She is able to convince all the men, including her father that she is sweet, good and the perfect model of a women in this time period while letting her true self show through to her sister. Katherine on the other hand presents herself in a very different way. She is moody, sullen, angry, rude and outspoken all the time. These are not characteristics that are desired in a wife. Katherine doesnt care though, she goes to above everyones criticism, which comes from her father along with other random suitors to Bianca and she chooses to be her own person. She refuses to be polite simply because that is what is expected of her. The consequences of acting in this such a manner are that the men in the society refuse to marry her, they jest at her expense, and she is at risk to have to become an old maid and live with her father for the rest of her life. Her father cant waitShow MoreRelatedGender Roles in the 16th Century1909 Words   |  5 PagesFebruary 23rd, 2014 Essay 1 Gender Roles in the 16th Century: Men on the Battlefield, Women in the Kitchen One of the most fundamental themes while reading Shakespeare is the prominent reminder of women at the end of the 16th century and their roles placed under men, as women were a threat to the masculinity, and thus, power held by men. There are clear misogynistic elements in all of the works performed through Shakespeare’s plays, most predominantly appearing in The Taming of the Shrew. As quoted within

An energy crisis is any great bottleneck) (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature though, it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place. Causes Market failure is possible when monopoly manipulation of markets occurs. A crisis can develop due to industrial actions like union organized strikes and government embargoes. The cause may be over-consumption, aging infrastructure, choke point disruption or bottlenecks at oil refineries and port facilities that restrict fuel supply.

Electricity consumers may experience intentionally-engineered rolling blackouts which are released during periods of insufficient supply or unexpected power outages, regardless of the cause. Industrialized nations are dependent on oil, and efforts to restrict the supply of oil would have an adverse effect on the economies of oil producers.

Kite Runner Essay - 899 Words

Gena Narcisco Mrs. Sharpe Honors English 10 10/11/12 The Kite Runner Do you know that Afghanis play a game where they fight with kites? The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini describes kite fights between local Afghani kids, regardless of their social status. The main characters in this story that come from a higher socioeconomic level are Baba, a lawyer from the Pashtun tribe, and his son Amir. The main characters in this story that come from the lower socioeconomic level are Ali, a servant from the Hazara tribe, and his son Hassan who are servants to Baba and his family. The Kite Runner explores how different classes of people worked together to run things in Afghanistan. In the Kite Runner discrimination in Afghanistan is†¦show more content†¦Clearly the Taliban did not value the lives of the Hazaras (www.Sparknotes.com). Assef was one of the cruelest of all the Taliban. He told Amir this â€Å"Afghanistan is like a beautiful mansion littered with garbage, and someone has to take out the garbage (Hosseini 284). Taliban influe nce in Afghanistan heightened discrimination and did not unite the country. The Kite Runner clearly demonstrated how different classes of people who are able to live peacefully together although keeping within the bound of their social class. The Taliban did not tolerate people from the lower socioeconomic classes and without conscious killed and destroyed their lives. Hassan and Amir, technically brother, grew up together but were never treated as equals (Hosseini 25). However they were able to coexist without hating each other (Hosseini 25). Amir never truly considered himself as a friend to Hassan (Hosseini 25). Hassan always considered himself a servant to Baba even at his death, in chapter 16. In my opinion the Afghan culture before the Taliban was one of working together and living peacefully but after the Taliban invaded the culture changed by forcing discrimination among the socioeconomic classes.

Essay On Suicide Example For Students

Essay On Suicide Im about to take up a position which is going to be deamed by some, if not all, as a terrible stand to take. As a matter of fact, if anyone were to agree with me on ths subject, Id be surprsed. For you see, rather than arguing from the postion of suicide being an unjustified and inane way to die, I shall argue the other point. That being suicide does have its merits. Before you people start screaming, hear my case out. Most people argue that nothing justifies the taking of someones life. Yet what makes life so valuable? Why do people cling to it so? All we consist of is a bunch of carbon atoms, bound together to form an exoskeleton, organs, and tissue. In this light, there really is not much to life. Out of the 5 billion who inhabit the planet, very few of them shall emerge to be true world leaders. The rest will just lead a mediocre life of work and little play. The taking of ones life can be argued from a populistic view as well. It makes little sense to preserve life in an over populated world. True, one less person here on there will not make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had attempted suicide were not stopped, the impact would be noticed. Another popular argument for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the suicide victim does everyday. How could they possibly know what the potential suicide victim feels. Just as a severely burned victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the suicide victim wishes the same. To die in peace with no argument from others. The argument of look at the people you will hurt also does not hold. Imidiate family members will be the only ones to suffer any great pain. Friends will go on with thier lives and in time forget about the death. Imidiate family too will forget the loss in time. Although it will take most considerably longer for them than it will for friends. Finaly, the argument of suicide being selfish is hard to grasp. Selfish in whose eyes? Certainly not the eyes of the victim. To them, they consider it selfish of others to try and preserve their life. Again, the argument of the stoppers dont know what the victim has to go through. They are not the ones enduring the pain. Religious people also crop up into the debate. Catholics claim that for someone to committ suicide sneds their soul straight to Hell. In many religions, suicide is considered taboo. However why is this so? Why should it be looked upon as disgracefull, when some religions claim death the be the reward for people after their time on earth is done. Suicide is an issue which should be examined at by all  angles. Not just from the angle that it is wrong. End of debate. Rather it should be looked at from the point of view that yes for some people, they should be allowed to die in peace.
