Later in life Oedipus solves the riddle of the sphinx and becomes the town hero. The next thing that happens would be when Oedipus finds out that he married his mom and killed his father which was what he was trying to stay away from his whole life. Another trait that a Tragic Hero has is experiences heavy suffering. Oedipus suffers many times in this play. When Oedipus was on top of the mountain his parents put some type of metal pipe in his feet so he could not walk. Oedipus must have felt pain there.
Emotional wise when he found out the inning and queen of Corinth were not his parents he must have felt pain. When he found out he killed his biological father he must have felt pain and when he found his wife/mother hanging he felt pain. When Oedipus looks back at all the tragedies in his life you can see that he had heavy suffering throughout his entire life. The last thing that can be a characteristic of a tragic hero is when his misfortune is brought about by error of judgment. This also happens a lot in the story Oedipus Rexes.The fist error of judgment in my opinion would be hen Coast and her husband decide to put Oedipus on the mountain instead of killing him right on the spot. If they would have none of this would have happened.
Another misfortune by error of judgment would be when he killed his father. He and his gang of thugs killed the king and most of his men. Why did he have to do it? That death was cause for no real reason accept for money and he could have escaped the prophecy if he would have stopped killing for money. These are the errors of judgment in Oedipus Rexes
LSP 112 FIFA World Cup – Expanding The Tournament Field(Total number of teams)
Please comment on the following issues by providing a thoughtful response for each. Answers should include a premise and brief supporting argument for that claim–and will be topics discussed during our class.
And remember, you must also answer WHY to support your arguments. Each question topic therefore should have Assertions (What you are claiming), Analysis (Why you are claiming is true), and Specific Examples (Facts, Data, Instances that support your claims and and arguments to be true)…
1- By-and-large, the World Cup field–starting in 1930, and spanning through 1978–would feature a 16-nation finals competition (the exceptions coming due to extreme circumstances such boycotts, war fall out, etc.). This all changed in 1982, when a first major expansion saw 24 countries represented throughout soccer’s premier competition. Such 50% increase remained until 1998, when another 8 teams were added, bringing the total to 32 sides–and would be in place until 2026…
Thus, 2026–slated to be co-hosted between the United States, Canada, and Mexico–will again absorb more countries, taking the World Cup finals field to 48 teams in all… this representing a 300% increase from Argentina’s 1978 affair–the last 16 team gathering.
Considering those instances above, please respond to the following:
A. What factors should go into deciding whether and when the World Cup finals field should be expanded?
B. What would the good aspects be from expanding the World Cup field, and why?
C. What would the potentially negative aspects be from expanding the World Cup field, and why?
D. When considering the issues above, are you generally in favor of expanding the World Cup field–and if so, when and why–but if not, why not? Finally, do you think there would be a number of nations–once hitting that mark–that FIFA should forever cease adding and expanding to the World Cup? Thus, is there ever an “ideal” number–and why or why not is that so?
