One Flew over the Cuckoo′s Nest Chief Bromden is the narrator in “One Flew over the Cuckoo′s Nest,” by Ken Kesey, and his development as a character depends on the standards set by the fictional society. The novel dates back to the 1960s when the US community was strangling to choose between conformity and rebellion. The fictional society in “One Flew over the Cuckoo′s Nest” sets standards that can be viewed as freedom from one perspective, but another perspective can bring out the idea of forced conformity. The character traits associated with Chief Bromden, who later gets the nickname Chief Brooms takes shape due to the standards set by the society. The dilemma between conformity and rebellion seems to take a considerable part of Chief Bromden’s character as he is forced to conform to society but chooses to rebel. The move to fight for freewill in a society is always associated with several challenges. Conformity, on the other side, requires that an individual has to lose a part of their determination so that they can be accepted into society…

SUMMARIZING ADAM GAUDRY’S ARTICLE, COMMUNING WITH THE DEAD Adam Gaudry’s article, “Communing with the Dead” points out the rising number of individuals in Canada identifying as Metis. Genealogical discovery of prior unrecognized Indian ancestry contributes significantly to these groups personal self-discovery, spiritual growth as well as subscribing to the metis identity. Gaudry, however, asserts that these “new Metis” attribute their Metis identity in genealogical reports connecting them to Metis Indigenous ancestors rather than the thriving Metis communities that have been in existent for generations. The growing number of the “new Metis” has created problems on the subject, raising concerns on what it takes to identify as Metis. Through engaging with genealogy websites, many individuals are now able to establish their identity to Metis and other indigenous communities[1]. Gaudry, however, asserts that most of these websites are curated without any involvement of actual native communities, and are hence likely to be erroneous in their output. Resultantly, the number of self-proclaiming Metis members lacking a meaningful connection to existing metis communities is increasing. For this reason, Gaundry sees it unfit to group…
Single Mums Unmarried, divorced, or widowed women who bring up children independently are known as single mums. Over time the number of children raised by single women has significantly increased. Statistics have confirmed that single women head 80 % of American families, with one-third of the families living in absolute poverty (Schein and Virginia, 2018). Berryhill and Durtschi (2018) explain that there are various challenges that single women experience in life, and therefore everyone should understand them. Most societies have harsh judgments and negative attitudes toward single women. The community views single mums as failures without getting background information on how single parenthood came along. With the father’s absence, the mother finds it hard to make decisions about the children. As a result, these women doubt their ability to bring up kids single-handedly. This challenge becomes even more complicated when the children’s father is alive but physically absent and thinks the children are raised inappropriately. Due to the burden of bringing up children, single women rarely sleep because the house chores can only be done when kids sleep. Inadequate sleep…
A Lesson Before Dying HOPELESSNESS- A feeling of hopelessness pervades the opening chapters, an appropriate tone for a story where someone is sentenced to death in the first chapter. Discuss where all you hear this tone of hopelessness behind just from Jefferson. Do you think that adequately expresses the African-American feeling in America at this time, or do you see glimmers of hope in the next, or can you think of the glimmers that were there historically? During the conversation with Tante Lou and Miss Emma, Grant seemed to have lost hope in Jefferson. When Grant was told that together with his aunt and Miss Emma, they should go and see Henry Pichot, whose brother-in-law was the sheriff, he said that Jefferson was already dead. According to Grant, it was just a matter of some time, and Jefferson would be dead. Grant said, “He’s dead now. And I can’t raise the dead” (Gaines, 20019). During the prison visits, Miss Emma felt hopeless because each of the three times Grant, and she visited Jefferson in the cell, Jefferson would rarely talk…

Accidental birth reflection using social public policy Accident of birth is a situation that describes someone having no control of or not entrusted with the responsibility for circumstances of their own birth or their child parenting. And with the evolving scientific strategies of understanding genes we can reasonably refer to any human being’s genome as a whole accident of birth. In a broad view, the gender, access to education, inheritance rights, family circumstances, and cultural backgrounds are all examples of accidents of birth. Accident of birth has the greatest impact on the life outcomes of majority of people in the United States, Abdel-Magied, Y. (2014). Inhuman deprivation that is found in the low- income and crime ridden type of environment, (slum) which the federal government prefers to call a targeted census tracts is said to cause stress to pregnant residents. The stress is due to the existing anxiety in this areas, the abuse and poor nutrition too. The doctor’s visits are not regular and sometimes there are no visits at all up to the time one has to deliver. The…
Family essay Family refers to the relationships by blood, marriages or affection where the members may cooperate economically and care for the children. Also, the family might consider their identity to be intimately connected to the larger group. There are six distinct functions of the family. Regulation of sexual behavior stipulates who should engage in sexual behavior and under what circumstances. For instance, in my community, an individual should not engage in sexual behavior with a member of the family. Reproduction and socializing children is another function of the family. The families should produce new members and replace the ones who have dies. For instance, the children learn primarily from the family unit in my community. Property inheritance is another function of the family. For example, in my neighbourhood the children are heirs of their parents’ property. Economic cooperation is the first line of defence to provide these necessities. In my community, there is a division of labor to ensure the family has been provided. Social placement through minimization of conflict is another role of the family. For instance, all…
