Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet depicts the lives of two lovers and the events of their lives as they hide their love from their parents. The personalities, attitudes, and emotions of Romeo and Juliet mimic those of teenagers today.
<span>These similarities occur in the way Romeo and Juliet and teens today act. The first likeness is in the word choice they all use. In the play, Juliet chooses her words carefully while talking to Count Paris so that she doesn’t commit herself to him or say that she doesn’t want to be his wife. This deceiving word play is copied by teenagers in the present day. They also talk themselves out of a tuff situation by misleading whoever they are talking to. The word used to describe this is equivocal, meaning that there could be many interpretations of what is being said.</span>
The first idea that Garrett Hardin used in his essay is the idea of survival. He argues that people will do anything in order to ensure their survival even resorting to unethical decisions. The next idea is the idea of choosing not to help the poor because it will only diminish the chances of survival. The poor need more resources, multiply fast and have a high-risk factor according to Hardin.
