    The Sunflower Simon Wiesenthal Analysis

    The Sunflower, by Simon Wiesenthal, was an intriguing and thought –provoking novel that raised many questions on the theological and moral concept of forgiveness. Furthermore, it delved into the matter of whether an individual has the right to forgive in the name of others, or whether forgiveness of the perpetrator was even deserved in the first place. The narrative is told from the first person point of view of Simon Wiesenthal, a young man in his 30s, imprisoned in a work camp. He tells his story of a dying Nazi’s plea for forgiveness and his own subsequent actions. After we hear his story, we can read the opinions of many individuals that tell what they would have done in Simon’s place, and add their own insights into the discussion. Before we delve into the specifics of what I would have done in Simon’s place, and which contributor I can relate to most, I would like to discuss the concept of forgiveness, and what it means to me.…

    How Do We Forgive Our Fathers: Textual Analysis

    As human beings we are often reluctant to let go of our anger and unwilling to forgive others. This becomes especially true in the case of loved ones or family members. The poem, “How Do We Forgive Our Fathers?,” written by Dick Lourie, addresses the different dilemmas associated with a child forgiving his/her father. In his six-stanza poem, the poet discusses how a child should forgive their father for traumatic events imposed on the child. This includes reasons for forgiveness, appropriate time to forgive, and whether or not to even forgive at all. Detailed through the different stanzas, the poem suggests that until one learns how to appropriately forgive another for wrongful behavior, they will never be able to let go of resentment and find inner peace.…

    Enright The Church As A Process Model Summary

    The thing that stands out the most was the formation of process models or comprehensive account of how persons deal with forgiving others. The two most cited models are Enright’s process model and Worthington’s REACH model, in which the forgiver moves from one point to another or through four phases of Enright’s model (p. 114). The process involves first admitting the pain and surveying the injustice. The second is taking a look at forgiveness and setting one’s mind on working toward forgiveness. The third point is expressing and generating empathy and compassion for the guilty party and bearing the pain. The fourth is the outcome or healing takes place (Freedman, Enright, & Knutson, as cited in Magnuson & Enright, 2008). Of fourteen published forgiveness interventions, empathy was an essential…

    Spiritual Assessment Article Review

    The article, “Self-forgiveness: The Step-Child of Forgiveness Research”, authored by Julie H. Hall, and Frank D. Fincham, is intended to promote further research into forgiveness. The article identifies the differences (along with the similarities) between interpersonal and intrapersonal forgiveness, and submits that more research has been done in the interpersonal arena, and less research has been directed toward intrapersonal, or self-forgiveness. The authors describe in this article, that unless an offense has been committed, there is no need or reason for forgiveness at all. An offense could be considered a behavior that harms another person; thus interpersonal harm has been done. An offense can also be considered intrapersonal, because any harmful behavior also hurts the perpetrator in some way, (when the offense is recognized as a harmful act) because the guilt that the perpetrator may feel affects his or her own self perception negatively. Behaviors that affect only the perpetrator, such as self-harm, would be considered intrapersonal. Self-forgiveness employs the idea that one must recognize the offense either to self or others, de-personalize the act from the person committing the act, and acceptance of the independence of the person from the act in order to come to terms with it-(the act was bad, I am not bad), and self-forgiveness. The self-forgiveness component relieves the individual of self damnation, and opens the door for positive progression in a more healthy direction.…

    Define The Role Of Forgiveness In Criminal Justice

    What is forgiveness? The term, commonly seen as a religious act, has various viewpoints. Its level of importance is deemed subjective as each individual’s opinion varies from one to the other. Mankind’s heavy debate on the subject is visible from multiple platforms such as novels, music, and movies. While one medium may deem it very important, another may see it as an unnecessary action. The standardized definition of forgiveness is “to pardon an offense or an offender” (“Forgive”). However, such a simple definition truly undermines how important and necessary forgiveness is. Forgiveness is an action created by choice. Likewise, choosing to not forgive an offender is also the result of a choice. The actions that result from these choices produce opposite outcomes. While one may lead an individual down a path of peace and prosperity, the other will lead an individual down a path of anger and resentment. While forgiveness may just be a simple action, its importance extends beyond as its action carries unforeseen effects. Forgiveness is important because it maintains personal relationships, conserves the functioning society in which they are conceived, and sustains one’s own health.…

    The Art Of Forgiveness Rhetorical Analysis

    Forgiveness Forgiveness is one of the factors that differentiate exceptional from mediocre or ineffective leadership. When leaders forgive, they dissipate built-up anger, bitterness and the animosity that can colour individual, team, and organizational functioning. Forgiveness offers people the chance to take risks, to be creative, to learn and to grow in their own leadership. Nelson Mandela is a prime example of a world leader who has shown the way to lead through forgiveness. At Cape Town’s city hall on February 11, 1990, having been released after what seemed to be an eternity in jail, he greeted the cheering crowd as their symbol for hope and freedom.…
