Tavris' In Groups We Shrink
Words: 707 - Pages: 3.... thing.
As in The Lottery, we see that people are reluctant to act out against
the remainder of the group. Why did the town's people just stand by and take
part in the senseless stoning of Mrs. Hutchinson? Why didn't anyone intervene?
Nobody was willing to be an individual and step up to take responsibility and
put an end to the senseless lottery.
Another good example of the reluctance to act against the group would be

Rodney King to a bloody pulp, onlookers just looked on. Nobody did anything to
stop the senseless beating. It was obvious that the p .....

The Godfather: Did The Author Present An Accurate Portrayal Of Narcotics As A Major Part Of The Mafia Business
Words: 1554 - Pages: 6.... rose in the United States, it was the Mafia who would jump on it as they did all other illegal activities, such as gambling operations, prostitution, extortion, and loan sharking. The whole drawback to this was, from where could they get it. Depending on what it was, it had to be found and brought in from over-seas. From Ecuador they could obtain opium poppies with which to make heroin, and virtually unlimited supply of coca leaves, with which to make cocaine from Bolivia and Peru. Plus their smuggling routes and expertise were solidly established. Hence, the first drug laboratories were established in Medellin, supposedly with Mafia .....

In Our Time: Review
Words: 587 - Pages: 3.... I've never
honestly read any Hemmingway previously. I've started to read The Sun Also Rises
about ten times and gotten waylaid by Batman, Robert B. Parker, and the like
each time. I think I read The Old Man and the Sea ages ago in high school, but
it was so long ago that it has slipped completely from my memory. He is one of
those authors that I always connect with my father and his college years for
some reason, although I'm not entirely sure why. I've always wanted to read
Hemmingway, but I've always wanted to read all of Shakespeare, Homer, and Eliot,
too.
The edition I'm reading has the short stories separated by "Chapters" which .....

Heart Of Darkness: Heart Of Controversy
Words: 483 - Pages: 2.... strong words for the
time. The European audiences who would be reading would not find anything
racist about it. By today's more sensitive standards, such deference is
more serious, but turn-of-the-century England was sure to expect far
harsher. Educated people reading Conrad's novel should understand the
differences between the past and the present, and be forgiving of his
language.
The deeper the expedition progressed into the center of the
continent, the more isolation was felt by the crew. In a sense, Central
Africa IS the antithesis of Western Europe -- it lacks not only the hectic
urban structures but also the Social Darwin .....
