Human History
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which defines the views of Rousseau, Condorcet, and Marx in relationship to humans and the development of society. While each of these men appears to address different realities that involve the evolution of mankind, they are all defining some very real issues that involve the inequality of mankind and the growth toward a better future, where social and economical classes are not so painfully obvious and harmful to the majority. Each of the authors illustrates, in their unique way, how mankind is on a certain path and how that path has evolved through time and events. No additional sources cited.

Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” : Conform and Revolt : Where to Start and Where to Stop
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper using Emerson’s essay “Self Reliance” as a platform to consider the ideas of conformity and revolt in our society. We examine where an individual should begin and end with conforming to society, as well as where to begin and end with revolt. Our society, for the most part, is determined to make people into something many of us cannot be. For those of us who notice things we are unhappy about, it is up to us to change our own lives by making our own unique decisions. Essentially the place to start is with ourselves and being true to ourselves. The place to stop is where we are no longer comfortable or we are doing others harm. No additional sources cited.

"Patch Adams"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Hunter "Patch" Adams saw beyond society's brusque and compassionless approach to medicine in a mighty attempt to change the system. After spending self-imposed time in a mental institution, he came to realize why people were not getting better and were, in fact, oftentimes getting worse. The lack of humanistic care made glaringly apparent by the medical community's unemotional arms-length attitude was precisely what Adams sought to correct, believing that a world without the ability to touch the individual along with healing the disease is no world with which he wanted to associate. Against the odds of the powers that be, Adams continued his endeavor to change the very essence of health care by employing the sociological perspective of symbolic interactionism as a means by which to apply a humane and holistic approach to medicine.
