How do we create a definition of ourselves? We usually go off with what we like and how other people judge us, the other opinions of other people can usually be positive or negative, based on what you do usually define who you are Actions define a person whether it being negative or positive. There are many ways we can define ourselves, usually actions are how people define you. Positive or negative, based on your beliefs and doings is how people define you. Do we find it easy defining ourselves or do we let other people do it for us? A loud crowd overwhelming someone can push us to do something and that’s how they could define us or what people call labeling someone. Curtain authors find ways to show how curtain characters find ways of truly defining. George Orwell the author of Shooting an Elephant quotes this, All I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred of the empire and my rage against the evil spirited little beast who tried to make my job impossible. People force others into doing things they shouldn’t do, it’s usually something negative and once you finish they usually label you.
Usually people try defining me because I get along with them. If I were to help someone with something out of my well being usually defines me as a good person, or the person i helped usually defines me as a great person. Usually large crowds can have people under pressure and leads to bad things and can usually define someone. Another quote from George Orwell says, It was an immense crowd, two thousand at the least and growing every minute. George Explains in one quote how people can change just from pressure. This shows how people can change just from pressure This can affect someone. There are always ways to define someone but it’s a little more difficult. How do decisions, actions, and consequences vary depending on the different perspectives of the people involved? Your decisions vary because of the people around you. If you have a giant crowd of people against you, It would make you make the wrong choice.
When doing something somebody wants you to do you’re usually doing it because you want them to be happy. A quote by George Orwell says this, They did not like me, but with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. If you’re doing something people want you to do it most likely means that you are going to be defined as a good person or a hero. Doing what people want you to could also bring people into using you. If you have a skill and people seem to enjoy your skill. You finding your own way of life or going with the flow can lead to better things. Fate goes ever as fate must.” is a quote from beowulf Follow the path that defines who you are. Now we get into why some people like taking a stand against prejudice/oppression while others choose to participate in it? some people usually watch instead of participating, the reason being that people can watch someone do something bad and have no guilt.
There are different things that make a person unique and some people usually. Kiss me and you will see how important I am. This is a quote from silvia plath that shows how important someone can be by just trying to understand someone. Understanding and finding someone’s true self can be great for both people. This usually means that even a simple kiss can define someone. Of course a kiss would be overdramatic but simple things like getting to know someone can be better than just labeling or defining someone just because of what they heard. Defining people you don’t even know can be selfish. If you expect to be judged that most likely means you care and it’s going to impact you more. But if you don’t care about yourself, it most likely means that you’ve found and defined yourself. “If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed is a quote by silvia plath.” Being able to define yourself can be very useful in situations like this.
In conclusion these are many ways that explain why defining yourself can be better than someone defining you. Every quote leads to why people often label people. So what do people enjoy more? Being defined or defining yourself.
