As the business environment evolves, so does the need for motivating people in order to increase productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness. With this in mind, managers are consistently balancing the company’s requirements with the needs of individuals who support the organization. Clayton Alderfer looks at the Abraham Maslow’s motivational theory and expands the principle. Maslow’s claims that if a person is lacking food or shelter, then they will not care about security. Additionally, he believed that self-actualization needs are not considered unless one external condition promotes healthiness, safety, and emotional stability. Therefore, people were only interested in higher needs once lower needs were fulfilled. Even though Alderfer
Person vs society Society is biased against Atticus Finch, Tom Robinson and Dolphus Raymond. Atticus is judged and criticized for defending a black man while Tom Robinson is hated for being accused of raping a white woman and Dolphus Raymond is judged for the way he acts drunk as he hangs out with the Black Community.
As you can tell from my examples both characters, Elie Wiesel and Atticus Finch are courageous. It may be in different ways, with Elie going through physical pain and Atticus being more of a mental/verbal challenge, but in the end, it’s all courage. Hence there is courage in both Night and To Kill A Mockingbird. Both characters knew that they were most likely going to be conquered, they had nearly no chance of overcoming their problems, yet they both put forth their full effort until the
Censorship of literature has always been a powerful means of manipulating society by limiting what the people are exposed to. This has been used as a way to suppress free thinking and new ideas, that could cause a shift in power in the society. The censorship of literature has been used by the powerful members of society forever, because of this societies fear the idea of their governments hiding information from the public.

Does The Crucible play connect to McCarthyism based on history repeating itself? It is widely known that Arthur Miller's characters in The Crucible are based on the era of McCarthyism where Senator McCarthy accuses innocent Americans of being communists. Through indirect and direct characterization, Reverend Hale in The Crucible begins to emerge as a pacifist for Salem when Judge Danforth's judgements spiral out of proportion.

Similarly, Senator McCarthy rises to power, protects his reputation, and makes Americans believe he is the only voice that can help fearful citizens in the nation.
In my previous essay the characters I talked about mostly is Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird and Henry Drummond from Inherit The Wind who I think live up to Thoreau's standard and ideals. Thoreau’s ideals is a government that governs less and for people to go against something they don’t believe in. Thoreau wanted people to live simply and to speak out about what they believe is wrong with the government. I'll talk more about them in this essay.

In the novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Atticus Finch is a well reserved, honored, and honest man ;by contrast, Bob Ewell is a racist, cantankerous, and evil man.

1. Atticus represents freedom and equal rights for all men, both ideas expressed in the Gettysburg Address because he fought for a colored man’s freedom in a racist court. When Tom Robinson’s case was presented to Atticus, he could’ve easily said no, but Atticus did what he did what President Lincoln asked him to and continued his fight for freedom. The Gettysburg Address fought for the Constitution and so did Atticus.

Compare/Contrast Grisham’s production of A Time to Kill, and Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, had many significant similarities and differences. I think the two had more significant similarities compared to differences because of the plot and huge issue over race. The trials were a big part of both A Time to Kill and To Kill a Mockingbird. The trials are about different crimes, but the trials show how african american people had a hard time getting a fair trial. It was ironic how Tom Robinson was found guilty when he wasn’t, and Carl Lee was proven innocent because of insanity after he committed murder in front of many people.
Opposition of Ideals: Lady Audley’s Duality Every masterpiece in literature reflects the ideals and concerns of the period of time in which the text was produced. During the Victorian age, the perceptions of purity and scandal were the two ideas that crashed against each other. The sensation novel became popular at the time for it reflected an English society always trying to show the perfection of the noble homeland and its people.

Interestingly, the two latter archetypes gather in one same character:
The perception of Abner’s perfidious nature is undeniably evident within the early paragraphs of the story. Although unknown to Sarty, the treacherous act leading to the limp of his father’s leg is revealed by the narrator. As the first case is being dismissed, Faulkner unveils the context of this deceit by stating, “the wiry figure walking a little stiffly from where a Confederate provost’s man’s musket ball had taken him in the heel on a stolen horse thirty years ago” (258). In addition to revelations of the past, the nomadic- like movements of the family further enhances the scrutiny of the disloyal man who leads them.

Danforth: Judge, Jury, and Executioner Judge Danforth’s position in the crucible is the Judge assigned to the proceedings of the Salem witch trials. Instead of treating this immense responsibility with the respect and restraint that is needed, Danforth abused his power by betraying the people of Salem and the Law. He did not listen to the people of Salem defending themselves before inevitably being sent to death; and he cared more about his reputation and the law than he did about peoples’ lives. Danforth was a ruthless power over the people of Salem he demanded respect for himself and the court; and nothing was more important than that.
