A Thematic Analysis Of Thank You M Am By Langston Hughe

Forgive today, live in peace tomorrow. Forgiveness; one of the many hardships we encounter throughout life. As Marianne Williamson, an American author, stated, “Forgiveness is not always easy.

Forgiveness is very important throughout life. If people don't forgive, they are going to be stuck in the past always remembering about the mistake that person did. Forgiving someone can make yourself feel better because you know you forgave that person and there's no negativity between you and that person.

How nervous, you felt? Scared, even? Were you one of the few who got sick after getting a shot? Did you expect to be immune to getting the flu after going for the shot, but still got the flu anyway? Were you one of the few who suffered severe complications because of the misinformation spread by the CDC , Center for Disease Control?

Everyone has the control within them to forgive or not to forgive someone. Forgiveness comes down to taking responsibility for the choices we make and doing what we believe is right. By forgiving others, authority of our own lives can be regained by letting go of the conflicting objects from the past and moving into a more significant direction.

The article “To Forgive is Good but Sometimes I Want to Stay Mad”, by Bob Brody, discusses the need for forgiveness. Brody argues that in some situations forgiveness is not necessary. In his article he lists many scenarios which would require a tough forgiving. He talks about the perks of not forgiving and why forgiving is not always the best way to settle a dispute. Brody offers a strong argument and even recognizes that some believe that forgiveness is good for the mind, soul, and preventing medical complications; such as, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and depression. Brody’s claim that forgiveness is not always necessary is flawed because grudges do not help recovery of the transgression, grudges do not equalize the wrongdoing, and

Despite women’s hard work, their efforts continue to go unrecognized. This is evident by the legal concept of unpaid and paid work. This legal concept definitely ignores the women’s work and renders it invisible, essentially disproportionately exploiting the work of women. Moreover, since unpaid work is presumed to not contribute to the capitalist economy and does not involve exploitation for surplus profit, it is undervalued. Interestingly, despite not being able to directly “profit” from unpaid work, the state has managed to find a way to still exploit the work of women. Accordingly, Waring (1998) argues that because domestic work is unpaid, it is seemingly a form of enslavement where women’s partners, families, their communities,
