Treatment Of Women In Trifles

... treatment from the men in the play is reflective of the beliefs of that time. These women, aware of the powerless slot that has been made for them, manage to use their power in a way that gives them an edge. This power enables them to succeed in protecting Minnie, the accused. "Trifles" not only tells a story, it shows the demeaning view the men have for the women, the women’s reaction to man’s prejudice, and the women’s defiance of their powerless position.

Objectism

... but our senses tell us it hurts and not until the influence of everyone else’s thoughts, do you know that it burns rather then freezes. Epistemology says that the only way of learning is through reason. Everything we know is perceived through reason. If we, as a race, didn’t understand reason, we couldn’t understand reality and existence itself. One knows the order of events because of time.

Racial Propaganda In The Third

... their anger on the Jewish people and other minorities. Hate and anger seem to be key points in Nazi ideology. To sustain the kind of anger the Nazis needed to sway the masses over to their side, they needed a common enemy, somebody or something that could be seen everyday.

Even though he had been wrongly accused and sentenced to death for no reason, he couldn’t go against his own teachings, or else his whole life would have been in vain. He knew that if he didn’t escap ...
