Monthly Blog - March

For my monthly blog this month I wanted to talk about the Superman Theory. First off I dont agree with this theory at all. When I look at a group of people, I don't see them as seperate groups of ordinary people and extraordinary people. That just doesn't make sense to me. This theory is basically saying that some people are above the rest of everyone else and are entitled to certain priviledges, such as they are above the law on some points. The one thing that bothers me about this is that who dictates if someone is extraordinary? What is stopping someone from doing whatever they want and just pleading that they were doing it for society and we should all just ignore their crimes. Now one part of the theory says that these supermen do things for the good of society so that means they should always be considered good guys. But if that means that they break laws and dont get punished, then that means that they are just setting up more chaos to happen. If one person is allowed to go above everyone else, what stops everyone else from thinking they are that important too? These supermen make no sense to me because it seems like even if they do some good, there are so many other bad consequences that could happen.

Monthly Blog- February

A Room of One's Own caught my interest this week so I thought that I would write a little bit about that. Virginia Woolf writes this as an essay which I dont really like to read but the idea of the essay sparked my interest. She discusses how women are not treated as well at they should be and there are huge differences in the way men and women are looked at. Woolf begins her essay looking at different points and one that caught my eye was how she refers to a library as a treasure house. This just goes to show how much value she took in learning and reading and how other people take these things for granted. To her, book were like treasures in that they should be taken care of and handled with care. Another thing that was interesting was how different the two meals were between the two sexes. At the men's luncheon party, all the food was elaborate and extremely delicious and everyone there was having a great time. But when she talks about how the women's dinner party is Woolf describes a mediocre dinner that really wasn't anything to be happy about. I just thought it as interesting how different the men and the women were treated during her time period and how they were even served different food.
