...choose to stay in these abusive relationships because of their attachment to their significant other. In the music video, “Love the Way You Lie” by Eminem featuring Rihanna, two individuals are in dysfunctional relationship. “Love the Way You Lie” shows the hardships of abusive relationships and how difficult it is for someone to leave the relationship because of the love, forgiveness, and abuse that is caught up within that relationship. In every relationship people tend to go through struggles, these struggles often lead to arguments and abuse. In the music video “Love the Way You Lie” the lyrics and the video make thoughts and emotions appear of what it would be like to be in the position the couple in the video is in. In the music video Rihanna sings, “Just gonna stand there and hear me cry/ But that’s alright/ I love the way you lie” (0:15). She shows forgiveness by making up excuses for the way her partner is treating her. Love has the ability to blind people and they don’t see what they are being put through. This makes it difficult for one to leave an abusive relationship because the love she feels for her significant other overpowers the pain she feels. Eminem sings, “Who’s that dude? I don’t even know his name. I laid hands on her, I’ll never stoop so low again. I guess I don’t know my own strength”(Eminem 1:04). People are so blinded by love that they soon begin to ignore the reality. In the beginning of the video the couple is laying in bed and the woman notices...

...1) Love the way you lie part two I didn’t stop doing it. It wasn’t just in my head but also outside my head. It wasn’t just me who had crazy thoughts, but it really happened. I couldn’t help it. In the few seconds every each time I let myself get carried away and let myself do that to her, I never thought about what I did. I just did it. I can’t explain why. I've lost counts of how many times I've done it to her and I'm sorry, but I don’t think she's aware of it. I had lost my mind. I maybe seemed insane. Maybe people would call me a masochist, but I couldn’t help it. It wasn’t because I didn’t love her, because I did. Maybe I did it because I loved her. I loved her too much. I thought several times about whether she thought I was crazy, and when my mind said that she thought it, it made me want to hurt her even more. But it wasn’t her voice speaking, it was my mind. She thought I was evil, and maybe I was, but I wish that I could do it over again. I hope that she knew that I never wanted to hurt her in that way and I never wanted to kill her even though I said I would if she left me. When I said that I would kill her if she left me, I was afraid. I was lost without her, without her I was nothing. I was just a psycho masochist. Our relationship grew stronger, but not healthier. Together, we could move mountains. Together, we would live forever, but if I were alone I wouldn’t make it. I continued holding on you physically and mentally, because I could not without you. I couldn’t...

...Reflection One There are many different ways our thoughts on gender diversity are affected by today’s culture. It can come from our families, friends, magazines, television and even music. The media today plays an even larger part in our gender make up than it did as little as a decade ago. With the creation of facebook, youtube and instagram, we are seeing a greater influence than ever. For the sake of this paper I would like to focus on how music and television affect gender diversity. When a new song is released, depending on public opinion, the record could sell thousands of copies and as a result be played on the radio several times a day reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners. Unless parents have the ability to strictly monitor all of their children’s music choices and I don’t know many who do, the young people today are hearing all sorts of gender messages through music that may be subconsciously shaping who they are. Even though there are many different genres of music I am going to focus on the rap culture and the messages they emit. Many of the rap songs portray women as weak and submissive. Several of the songs include violence against women whether it is sexual, mental or domestic which displays an overall lack of respect for females. While at the same time the man is portrayed as strong, wealthy and powerful and overall domineering of the woman. Rarely in rap music, is there a song that paints a picture of the woman having power over the man. The...

...A Summary of the Terms and Types of Ethical Theories Ethics is a branch of philosophy addressing questions about morality. Ethics is divided into two different ways of looking at the morality of humanity. They are Consequential and Non-Consequential. CONSEQUENTIAL ETHICS In Consequential Ethics, the outcomes determine the morality of the act. What make the act wrong are the consequences. It says, it will be legitimate to lie in order to get out of a serious problem, such as to save a persons life. In other words a white lie is fine. So the essence of morality is determined by the result or outcome of the act. NON – CONSEQUENTIAL ETHICS In non-Consequential Ethics, the source of morality comes from something else: law, God’s law, moral law, sense of duty, and your definition of what is the virtuous thing to do. All those considerations are built into the act itself before you could think of consequences, before it makes it right or wrong. One classic example is this system is lying. Lying could be wrong because in one system, it’s a violation of the nature of speech. It’s wrong to use a lie to achieve a good end. Simply put, a lie is a lie, is a lie. Egoism – Utilitarianism – Pragmatism Egoism - Means, act in your own self-interest. Utilitarianism - Do that which is moral only if the act produces the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people. There are two brands of Utilitarianism: 1. Act Utilitarianism- Do the act. No consideration of before or after...

...The article The Ways We Lie by Stephanie Ericsson, goes hand in hand with Oceania. A country falling to corruption, false patriotism, and absolutely no privacy, Orwell’s 1984 encompasses what can happen when a government gains too much power and deceives their people. Omission: Ericsson’s article explains omissions as a story with major details left out, that changes the story completely. Omissions present themselves throughout Orwell’s 1984, for example, the party tells the story of their country, yet they leave out key details that alter the outcome of the story. Orwell explains, “If all others accepted the lie which the party imposed-if all records told the same tale-then the lie passed into history and became truth” (Orwell...

...truth about love, but I kept on asking myself, what is the truth about love? Is it the way two people fall in like and then the feelings develop to love? Or is it the way they illustrate each other the affection? I don’t know because I feel like I haven’t experienced true love. Yes, I’ve had my fair share of relationships, but I think those are the kind where in we just felt like we needed someone to be with. Like we needed someone to share something with. Now I know what you’re thinking. How old are you anyway to feel and think this way? Tell you what, I’m too young to know the truth about love, but at the same time, too old to be innocent and naïve. Now this isn’t about love in general. This is about the truth. Why the truth if I can make up my own? Because to me, it is important. It may not to you, but it is to me. I don’t know what got me thinking this way. Maybe because we lie too much. We even lie to ourselves to think that what we felt, what we’re feeling, or what we’re going to feel is true love. The idyllic idea when we say love is relationships. Boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, and wives. Those kinds of relationships. What if feeling true love is by making someone happy like your mom or your dad or your brother or your sister? So many options to choose from, but we always think about the romantic relationships. Why do we think like that? I don’t even know why I think like that. Like it’s the end of the world when you’re alone because no one cares about you. Like when...

Do you realize by telling a child he/she is adopted could put him/her at risk of everything he/she truly believes in? The consequence of constructing a lie can result in various kinds of loss.

A situation in which omission led to horrific consequences can be seen in the lives of adopted siblings Shameeka and David. After their mother died giving birth to David, the children were separated into two different families. Although the siblings were separated Shameeka and David always keep in touch with each other. When David turned five the kids stopped seeing each other, once he was twelve years of age; Shameeka and David saw each other again for the first time.

Although Shameeka and David’s mother did past after giving birth to David, his family left out the very important detail that the siblings mother did have cancer and it was so strong that the doctors didn’t think it would have been a good idea for the mother to give birth...
