What he sees is hideous and horrifying, both to Jurgis and to the reader. In this chilling tale of exploitation and neglect, Sinclair "openly revealed the inhumane conditions of the Chicago stockyards and how the meatpacking industry operated, resulting in the passage of the pure food and drug laws within months after the books publication" (Arthur 1)
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle The Use of Style to Craft an Argument: Upton Sinclair's the Jungle "Sinclair uses language effectively, and in a variety of ways, to shape his characters and develop his themes" and thus effectively created a novel that outraged the public and created the beginnings of reform in American industry (Oatman 30)
freeze the horror experienced by the reader as more and more exploitations are uncovered. According to the research, "his descriptions of the human costs are most gripping when he avoids sentiment in favor of flatly reported horror" (Olsson 1)
This occurs throughout the novel, but particularly in specific scenes discussing individual workers in the injuries he incurred. There is one scene where Sinclair describes workers being turned into lard; "and as for the other men, who worked in tank rooms full of steam, and in some of which there were open vats near the level of the floor, their peculiar trouble was that they fell into the vats; and when they were fished out, there was never enough of them left to be worth exhibiting -- sometimes they would be overlooked for days, till all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham's Pure Leaf Lard!" (Sinclair 120)
An example often given of terrorist activities that have resulted from the close proximity of different ethnic and ideological groups is the Jewish - Palestinian conflict and related acts of violence. Religious differences are seen as a source of terrorism that goes hand-in-hand with economic and ideological differences (Howell 2003, p
As has been referred to, Zen Buddhism and Christianity seem to opposites in that Zen does not acknowledge any deity or God and refuses to subscribe to any rational dogma in its understanding of the numinous. However, as one comparison of these two faiths notes, "They both agree that the origin of delusive passions is a falling way from the true source of the self, and that this a fall from man's orginal state" (Kadowaki, 1977, p
It must do whatever is necessary to empower the experience. (Raff, 2000 p
Jungian Archetypes and Jean Valjean in Hugo's Les Miserables "The Misery of a child is interesting to a mother, the misery of a young man is interesting to a young woman, the misery of an old man is interesting to nobody" (Bischoff, 2005, p
The struggle between dark and light may be familiar to young males, as they try to do what it right by obeying the structure that society imposes on them. Many young males may identify with the struggle between light and darkness that exists in Valjean's soul (Blix, 2007, p
These forces include traits and attitudes that may be beyond the scope of certain persons. In order to achieve individuation and growth, the person must come to terms with the unconscious archetypes and archetypical processes that must be reconciled (James and Gillaland, n
More specifically, the subject was denied the right to express himself and he was often forced to abide by very conservative rules of proper conduct both in the home and also outside the home, such as by his mother's repeated warning that he was her "representative" outside the home. The self that developed seems to reflect both the explicit absorption of certain ideas from his mother and a transmutation of others into adult tendencies that may be largely functions of his failure to acknowledge his anger over them (Andrews, 1989; Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2008)
Specifically, it should not be surprising from any Jungian perspective that long before this individual ever became consciously aware of these aspects of his family-of-origin relationships, the child who never stood up for himself in the dentist's office and whose mother was overly controlling in so many intimate ways developed an on-air persona that emphasized talking extemporaneously and mainly about objectionable and offensive topics of humor. Nor should it surprise a Jungian analyst that the subject perpetually oscillates between braggadocio and insecurity or that he admits to deriving great pleasure from instigating and witnessing bitter disputes among his subordinates and that he routinely berates them for relatively minor oversights or mistakes (Bagarozzi & Anderson, 1989; McWilliams, 2004)
" The subject describes how his mother also adamantly refused to consent to the use of Novocain or any other anesthetic when he visited the dentist (despite his pleas and pleas from the dentist) because of her distrust of "chemicals." There is likely a direct connection between the subject's development of a highly abrasive and uncontrollable on-air persona and the degree to which the subject's control over basic aspects of his life was denied to him throughout his formative years (Casement, 1998; Mitchell & Black, 1995)
The subject also exhibits issues that likely originate in the concept of the anima archetype, in that, among other things, he appeared in female attire and makeup on the cover of his first book, which he also titled Miss America. He routinely adopts an exaggerated effeminate voice and mannerisms in much of his comedy and often expresses jealousy at the sexual opportunities available to women (Edinger, 1972)
Nor should it surprise a Jungian analyst that the subject perpetually oscillates between braggadocio and insecurity or that he admits to deriving great pleasure from instigating and witnessing bitter disputes among his subordinates and that he routinely berates them for relatively minor oversights or mistakes (Bagarozzi & Anderson, 1989; McWilliams, 2004). Naturally, with respect to these issues, the fundamental goal of Jungian analysis will be to help the patient integrate his early experiences and relationships to reduce their apparent unconscious expression in negative and destructive ways (Jung, 1961; Wyrostok, 1995)
The subject reports often dreaming of being mocked or ridiculed and of finding himself in situations where he disappoints those close to him. Finally, the also subject exhibits substantial issues in relation to the formation of the shadow archetype, such as in the profound dichotomy between his on-air, rebellious "bad-boy" persona and his off-air conservatism, neuroticism, and gentleness toward loved ones (Murdock, 2009; Young-Eisendrath & Dawson, 2008)
His father was either absent in any supportive way or highly critical, such as when the subject first expressed his desire to become a radio personality, to which his father responded, "But you don't even know how to talk." It seems rather straightforward to consider those interactions and family dynamics as having contributed to the adult self of this individual (Schwartz-Salant, 1982)
She continues to be hyper-critical of the subject today but they have an outwardly loving relationship. Clinical Overview of Potential Jungian Issues Clearly, this subject presents significant issues in relation to the individuation process (Young-Eisendrath & Dawson, 2008)
Flexibility is an important concept, but not to the point where focus is lost. Chang Tzu explains that one must maintain a certain degree of flexibility, but that one must be careful not to reduce Wuwei to a matter of flexibility (Fox)
He who pursues his affairs with the, will become the-like. He who pursues his affairs with loss, identifies himself with loss" (Goddard and Borrel, Chapter XXIII)
