Henry I Miller's 'Ignoring The Ignorant'

It is no secret that roughly a third of America’s population is considered obese, and in a documentary published about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), Genetic Roulette, the director uncovers that, “Since the mid-nineties, the number of Americans suffering from at least three chronic illnesses nearly doubled.” While there are a plethora of factors that contribute to this travesty, I believe a major component of this drastic increase of chronic illness is health illiteracy. Most would blame the individuals for their health deficiencies. However the core of the problem is that the population is uninformed by their government.

On Wednesday August 24 protestors showed their dismay at the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District plans to release genetically modified mosquitoes into Key Haven, Florida, a small town in Key West, to try to control the quickly spreading Zika virus. The article “In Florida Keys, Some Worry About ‘Science and Government’ More Than Zika” written by Lizzette Alvarez talks about how the people of Key West, Florida feel about becoming a “science experiment”.

“They did not celebrate Christmas, and a holiday from work meant only that they must concentrate even more upon prayer.” Act 1, pg. 4

Mosquitos is a problem faced by the world it appears many times in the novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor,” “(Bloor)When Paul's mother Caroline complains to the HOA that the muck fire in the yard is going out of hand and should be dealt with asap. The HOA decides to try different ways to get rid of it each attempt worse than the last from putting it out with a fire extinguisher to flooding the fire with water. When the hoa decides to flood the Fisher’s backyard muck fire they didn’t take in account that they not only failed to resolve the conflict of the fire but added another job to their list. The HOA unintentionally invited the dreaded mosquitos to Lake Windsor Downs when they flooded the fire. The mosquitoes are blood thirsty creatures they will bite anyone and anything to get their food, blood.

The book“The Crucible”by Arthur Miller, describes the ultimate twist of the Salem Witch Trials, and origins, which happened between the colonial years of 1692-1693 in Massachusetts. The novel is filled with characters which are bad and good, they all have certain “issues”. The person who started the crazy in Salem is Abigail, she is Reverend Parris’s niece. The logical fallacies in the book played a big role in making bad decisions, this is the reason why the obnoxious accusations of witchcraft and prosecutions lasted so long. The most dangerous logical fallacy that happened  in the Crucible is the Bandwagon occurrence because people have no choice but to pick a side and makes people believe in that certain truth or story even though it may be wrong.

Arthur Miller was an American playwright who wrote plays such as “The Crucible” and “Death of a Salesman” because he thought theatre could change the world. He wrote his works based on friends, his own life, and family. People believed he was a man of integrity and a hero because of the ways he portrayed himself.

Elie Wiesel, addressing the President of the United States, the First Lady of the United States, and many other people who hold power within the country in his speech “The Perils of Indifference” uses rhetorical strategies such as asyndeton, imagery, and rhetorical questions to prove his point that indifference is a dangerous force that is unknowingly hurting the world.

Indifference “elicits no response.” Indifference “is not a response.” Famous author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel in his speech, “The Perils of Indifference” informs the audience about the dangers of indifference. He supports his claim by first giving a dictionary definition of indifference, then talking about his personal experiences and then about examples in history when we were indifference. Wiesel's purpose is to illustrate the dangers of indifference using his own personal experiences and historical examples in order to explain how terrible it is and to persuade us to do something about it. He establishes a serious, somber, and critical tone for the politicians in attendance of the Millennium Lecture Series, which is a series of cultural showcases that highlight the creativity and inventiveness of the ideas, art, and scientific discoveries.

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, there are certain themes which are quite evident as the play progresses. The story focuses in the small town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1952, when the witch trials began spreading and affected all individuals in the society. One of the burning issues that this play introduces is the nature of authority. Authority is the power or right to make decisions, give orders, and enforce will. When the begins, the audience can right away see and observe the power that the Church had on this society. Since this was a puritan society, there were extremely strict rules for every individual in that society and all their activities focused on God and religion. This is shown when it is written, "they did not celebrate Christmas, and a holiday from work meant only that they must concentrate even more upon prayer" (Pg 4).

Although the world continues to face tragedy, little compares to that of the horrors millions of innocent Jews like Elie Wiesel faced, as they were deported from their homes, separated from their families and pushed around into different concentration camps where they were brutally tortured, killed, and discarded of by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany Army beginning in 1941. It wasn’t until April of 1945 that Elie along with the limited number of other survivors were finally liberated. This mid 20th century atrocity has come to be known as the Holocaust, a tragic part of history that will never be forgotten. It was because of that experience, that Elie Wiesel extensively depicted the events he faced through written and verbal accounts including the speech he gave entitled “The Perils of Indifference” on April 12, 1999. The speech was given at the 7th Millennium Evening at the White House, with an intent to create a kairotic moment with the public including the audiences it was broadcasted to, as an opportunity to explain a darker side of history, while also hopefully enlightening them for the future.

Miller comes across as believing that dictating to others and not

In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, justice and injustice is portrayed through the characters of John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams. It is also shown through the minor characters of Mary Warren and Mercy Lewis, followers of Abigail Williams, and through Danforth and various townspeople.

It is important to appreciate the current nature and status of the world because there are individuals who laid the appropriate foundation for it. As Michael Specter’s TED Talk on The Danger of Science Denial, he outlined the challenges that might emanate from science denial. There are reason that ought to be checked critically since they affect the current and future generation and these include health, wealth, mobility, opportunity and declining rates of diseases. It is critically clear that Specter performs a very relevant and excellent job to the desired audience by discussing emphatically on important issues that affect the current world. He poses a challenge to the audience to basically look at the world at its normality despite looking at it from skepticism side of it. The skepticism tend to affect the smart decision technique in the modern society as it relates to The Danger of Science Denial. He logically asks the Americans and international TED talk fans to analyze effectively the desired big picture besides both logical and ethical picture. He asked the audience to emphatically compare the pictures broadly and identify the worst picture. This could assist the audience to come up with the right decision regarding their perception of current world to the future generation.

'A view from the bridge' by Arthur Miller is a tragic intense play about family struggle, lust, passion and deceit. My aim is too look at the relationship of Catherine and Eddie. To understand the relationship, we must understand the atmosphere and culture. To do this we need to know why Miller wrote the play, background history and why this is significant to understanding the relationship between Catherine and Eddie.
