... of her late husband's death" (M1) passes both parts of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative. Consequently, according to Kant, M1 is a moral action.

... of the men who live in the ward. This is Chief Bromden; a half-Indian who is one of the long time committed men. In my eyes, the Bromden is a key character in the whole book. The Chief, in reality, is 6 foot 7 inches tall, but in his mind he sees himself as a man only two or three feet tall. This is because he has received over 200 electro-shock treatments and has been physiologically beaten to think that he is an inferior being to all others but he is not alone. All of the patients in the ward have had this done to them, some more than others. Another thing that sets the Chief apart is the fact that he has led everyone to think he is deaf and mute. This has enabl ...

... to use it as an integral part in his essay. The description that Rodriguez thought really hit home was that the “scholarship boy” had to move between two extremely different environments, his home and the classroom. Also that the scholarship boy can be looked at as a bad student also. It is not until a “scholarship boy” can gain a balance between his home and education, and not let education completely run your life in order to be called a “scholarship man.” That is something that Rodriguez has not been able to accomplish over the years that he has been in school. Rodriguez made it very apparent in his essay that he had grown away from his parents through much of ...
