Freedom The End Of The Human Condition Analysis
FREEDOM-The End Of The Human Condition

All the problems we are experiencing on the planet, apart from natural calamities, are caused by us humans or put another way, they are caused by the human condition. So, what is the human condition?

A profound way to introduce you to the human condition as well as its solution to the up-river story.

IMAGINE A FAST FLOWING RIVER:

Imagine a fast flowing river, with 1000's of people drowning in it and on the banks, there are people desperately trying to save them. The form human chains, linking their arms together while looking for a narrower section in the river where they can be more effective but as hard as they try to save the drowning people, more and more are being swept further and further away downstream.

RESCUERS START LEAVING THE RIVERBANK:

As some rescuers start leaving, the others start to shout:"come back! we can't do it alone, please help us."

But the point of my story is that pulling of people out of the raging river is only dealing with the symptoms of the story, someone has to go upstream to address the problem at its origin or source, which is US!, we are the problem, we are self-obsessed, greedy, selfish, materialistic, angry as hell and FAKE, this is us!

DESTRUCTIVELY BEHAVED HUMAN CONDITION:

It is this destructively behaved human condition that needs to be fixed sometime, somewhere and by someone who had to go upstream to the source and address and solve the human condition. Now, someone has, in his book, Freedom, The End Of The Human Condition, biologist, Jeremy Griffith presents the breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition and an explanation of our destructive and inharmonious lives, is so redeeming and healing, it ends the human condition forever, which is why it is being described as the book that saved the world.

    In the beginning of Eric Foner’s essay, he talks of how devoted Americans are to their freedom. Different titles, for example, on history textbooks suggest just this: Land of the Free and The Rise of American Freedom. People on the outside of America looking in find this astonishing. The pride that is shown by Americans is outrageous to people that do not know what freedom is or people who have some freedom don’t see what we Americans do. He then comes to the point that the use of the word ‘freedom’ has “literally hundreds of definitions.” He argues this not only because of the survey, but the fact that many different definitions are created and re-created through the eyes of different people.…

    The two main conflicts expressed in the story are Man versus Nature and an external conflict. The Man had to fight against nature to save the passengers. “Man in Nature. The man in the water. For its part, nature cared nothing about the five passengers.” The narrator explains the external conflict he had by saying “For at some moment in the water he must've realized that he would not live if he continued to hand over the rope and ring to others. He had to know it, no matter how gradual the effect of the cold. In his judgment he had no choice. When the helicopter took off with what was to be the last survivor, he watched everything in the world move away from him, and he deliberately let it happen.” The Man accomplished to save 5 lives by giving his own during the accident.

    The title human can have many different meanings, and can be used in different ways. Today I’m going to be telling you about what it means to be human in the classic text Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and the epic film Blade Runner by Ridley Scott with reference to contexts. Humans are known to exploit the world and people around them for their own benefit, but at the same time humans can love fiercely and show compassion in the most unlikely of circumstances. These traits are part of what makes humans so difficult to box and understand.…

    Over the summer I choose to read The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad by Fareed Zakaria, published by W.W. Norton& Company Inc. New York, New York © 2007. This is a unique and intricately assembled collection of 270 pages of opinions, facts, and theories depicting the authors view on what else, democracy in its past present and future state at home and abroad. Democracy is a word with a million meanings: free and equal representation of the people; political and social equality; and a tool or system for trade and economy. Zakaria starts by briefly explaining how democracy has come about, and its origination in the west, and how geographical features such as location (for example the move of the capital to Constantinople), along with its long history and ever changing politics have led to be the building blocks of what we see democracy as today. Liberal institutions and culture were just as important to the growth of freedom in the West as democracy. I also took note that the democracy in terms of what I see and have been taught to view as, is that with democracy comes happiness and equality, each person is important and has a say in our government. Although this book has really opened my eyes in the sense it showed me that democracy wasn’t and isn’t always the right tool to use when trying to fix or setup a government and its policies and is certainly not the ticket to freedom. Civil society was a key element in the stability and development of freedom and democracy; also that economic freedom and political freedom are intertwined. Each government and country was formed differently, not one I don’t think has the exact same history, politics, culture, or philosophy. Sometimes the idealistic features tacked onto democracy don’t always flow correctly in sync with human growth, nature, and cultures. “Geography and history combined to help shape Europe’s political structure”…

    It was a very hot day in July. My friends and I decided to go to the Mississippi River for a few days to hangout, get tan and wakeboard. The day we made our journey, it was six in the morning on a Saturday. Gross right? I mean who in their right mind would wake up on a Saturday at six in the morning!? Well… us, because we aren't in what you may call a “normal mind-set”. We aren't like the teenagers nowadays that sit in bed until three in the afternoon wasting our precious summer. We realize that there are only twenty-four hours in a day and we take full advantage of that! For us, waking up early like that is just a promise to have a long, exhilarating day. After waking up and packing everything needed, we take off for Wabasha. One long hour goes by and we finally get to the boat landing where I back in the boat. As I drive out to the main channel, I saw that the water is calm…

    You ask me "What freedom means to me? " I don't really think about these things. Now that I am I think that I have something to say about it. Freedom is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Freedom for me is something we abuse. For example freedom of speech we use that like its nothing people in other places don't have that freedom. Most people don't think about freedom as we do stuff during are day. We don't usually think "How did we get our freedom? " well that's a good question. People fought for are freedom we don't think about that, people risked their lives for us. There are still people who risk their lives for freedom people who can't do what we do, people who don't have equality. They cant say what they want or do what they want. I couldn't imagine myself without freedom not being able to say what I want or do.…
