Eventually, Skinner decides to ask the jury three questions that will determine the outcome of the trial. It has been ultimately decided that Beatrice Foods is not guilty. On the other hand, Jan is forced to take 8 million dollars from Grace, which barely covers for the expenses Jan and his team had sacrificed for the trial. In the end, it is evident that the money the affected families were reimbursed with was largely due to the differing natures of lawyers and judges that took part in the
Adnan handled his trial in a respectable and mature manner, however, the same can not be said about those around him.

Another example of the beauty of humanity can be seen in Hans Hubermann's character. Throughout the novel Hans is a very easygoing and thoughtful man who has a tendency to put others before himself. Wherever he is, he is always trying to help others. For example when Hans goes around painting windows black to prepare for the air raids he does not charge his customers a certain amount of money. He only charges however much they can give.

It is an understand of how people have been shaped and limited by life’s experiences.. To gain solidarity a person must have compassion. Compassion and solidarity go hand in hand to change structure and
In Ayn Rand’s novella, Anthem, mankind is a philanthropic machine. The brotherhood nobly works together to achieve a common goal. In doing so, each man is asked to disregard his own personal means and goals. For every decision must be a collective thought and every advancement, a joint action. However, one man in this machine malfunctions.
However, if Solidarity’s health was a priority to society, the government would find a cure. The characters in Anthem, provide a more relatable image for the future opposed to the characters in Harrison Bergeron. Imagine a working mother or father who is so engulfed with their job, they unintentionally ignore and neglect their child. In a world where time is money people are always busy.
The complexity of tragic action lies in its thorough understanding of human mistakes and conflicts and the potential damage they may create. The significance of “Hamlet,” “Station Eleven,” and “Net Force Hidden Agendas” lies in their reminders of the inferior qualities of human existence and the absolute necessity of moral growth. When examining the complexity of tragic storylines and the potentially fatal consequences that can result, the act of taking action, the search for solutions to challenging obstacles, and the result of these acts all play crucial roles. To start, taking decisive action in the face of adversity is critical for one’s growth, societal advancement, and beneficial outcomes. The steps to success involve obtaining information,
Moral problems like lying, manipulation, and exploitation fill every nook and cranny of the society shown in Nightcrawler; no one tries to rectify them. Simultaneously, the overcorrection of that immorality ails the citizens in “Harrison Bergeron.” Lou Bloom’s actions led to at least three deaths and no formal punishment was given, while a ballerina was shot dead simply for dancing free of weights tied to her body. Though the two societies treat moral discrepancies in very different ways physically, as seen in their differing approach to praise and punishment, the societal consequences of both are similar, shown through the correlating morals of both societies. Punishment for immoral behavior in “Harrison Bergeron” comes swift and harsh, while in Nightcrawler it is nearly nonexistent for the guilty parties.

If people cannot think of their bond to mankind, the actions of a few are at risk of harming many. Within the community, no one knows each other; they are all confined to their individual lives, with little to no concern for others. When in Rear Window the dog is killed, its owner chastises the people in the apartment
Society and government can inflict consequences on one’s desires. Miller’s element of tragedy is emphasized through the struggle one must go through to achieve his or her goals and what stands up against he or she. Steven R. Centola addresses the heroic figure one portrays when society is against he or she: “Miller's play transcends cultural and geographical boundaries with its inspired depiction of one man's heroic struggle to preserve his honor when threatened by a corrupt state authority” (Centola 1). Society often follows government rules without hesitation because they do not know better and do not want to face the consequences that result from acting against the government. However, the few that are willing to fight against corrupt government ways demonstrate heroic characters as they are the ones to initiate change in society.
Every person has something to contribute to society, regardless of age, sex or culture. The measurement of a person’s worth is determined by more than simply following rules and going through the motions. Accordingly, the combined contribution to society is more than the sum of each person. However, in The Chrysalids, by John Wyndham, the people of Waknuk live a life governed by strict social norms, which limits their expression of individuality. This pervasive attitude results in a narrow-minded perspective on what it means to be human.
After the death of his son, James comes to understand that while he is an educated businessman, he is ignorant in several ways.

He realizes that he has not understood his son’s view on what needs to be done in the country to replace what has been destroyed in the native culture.
Thus demonstrating how mob mentality can impact an individual and ultimately drive the action of the play. This shows us how one person who starts
