Tragedy of the commons

neighborhood, but he never tells his own story. The Narrator never even shares his name with the reader. In this way, the Narrator detaches himself from the tragedy surrounding him. He tells the story of everyone else’s tragedies and assumes the futures of other people experiencing similar tragedies, all while remaining divorced from the ways in which the tragedy impacts him. The Narrator tells these stories in such a way that encourages empathy in the reader, but remains emotionally detached…

the acting teachers at Florida School of the Arts, Ms. Patricia Crotty. Part of the reasoning, if not the main reasoning, behind this is because there is better documentation of Greek Drama than there is Egyptian Drama. We have thirty-two extent tragedies and 11 comedies from Ancient Greece compared to the one tablet Ikhernofret recorded the Passion Play on. That amount seems abundant when you compare the two, but the extent Greek dramas are a small percentage of what was written during the…

I believe that shared human life experience is a form of human solidarity driven by emotions. Vaughn Lewis explains to us the meaning of emotivism regarding our moral views. I think that emotivism explains the human reaction to tragedy because it shows how human are cautious of each other. A person can argue that it is not an institutionalized right to shelter the homeless but rather a responsibility of the public driven by emotions, human bound, and solidarity. You might have all…

It was Saturday night. The club seemed packed with hundreds of people inside, when an unbelievable, yet seemingly repeatable horror story took place. A man approached the club on foot, armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a semi-automatic pistol and entered the building. The club’s guard engaged the armed man, but he returned fire and killed the police officer; however, the armed man did not stop there and continued on his way to the main floor where he began shooting patrons. A couple of…

throughout the world, Capitalism and Socialism, and their fatal flaws. Capitalism’s fatal flaw, described as the Tragedy of the Commons, is an overexploitation of a resource. Socialism on the other hand solves Capitalism’s fatal flaw by regulation, but creates its own fatal flaw, Socialism is not good at producing goods only distributing them. An example of the Tragedy of the Commons is the tale of Bluefin Tuna. For years the fish had been farmed to near extinction, over 97% of the total…

The play Hamlet and the film Pontypool both share the common theme that through the use of words one can become insane. This theme is supported by the use of diction found in both works, the most notable phraseology is repetition. Throughout the play Hamlet, repetition is often seen in two characters; the play’s main protagonist Hamlet, and a side character Polonius. During the play, Hamlet encounters his deceased father’s ghost who relays to Hamlet that he was murdered. After hearing this he…

them to talk to the protesters. Their wish was granted, and the faculty pleaded for the students to not risk their lives confronting the guardsmen. After twenty minutes of begging the demonstrators to not retaliate, the students began to leave the commons (Lewis and Hensley). Immediately afterward, Kent State University closed down. It did not reopen until the summer of 1970 (“The Killing at Kent State”). The massacre on the school grounds of Kent State not only changed campus but the nation as…

William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare writes about how deceit, treachery, and facades are used time and time again for conspirators and loyal friends to get what they want. Shakespeare demonstrates how certain personality traits, such as arrogance, fickleness, and a strong sense of honor, can make a person easily manipulated, and through the use of facades, even a person’s most trusted friend can become his enemy. The fickleness of the common people allows Antony…

settings. The settings in both allow for a sense of sympathy to be evoked for the panther and the wife. The wreck of the Titanic in “Carpathia” adds misery and sorrow to the story that would have been impossible in another setting. The Titanic was a tragedy that left many in shock. Kercheval uses this to stress the injustice women suffered and their hopelessness. In “The Panther,” the cage which has metal bars introduces the idea of a jail cell which in turn demonstrates a lack of control and…

of peer, teammate, or even a family member that makes us become speechless with an abundance of emotions. According to McDowell (2016), “Death is never easy. And the death of a young person is especially heartbreaking and traumatic.” Common effects of a tragedy teens experience include parents becoming more authoritative, fear of death, and grieving. What you may not know; however, is that an opposite effect can come from what people perceived as a horrible matter. Tragic loss can motivate,…
