1. Have you ever heard the term willful blindness? What do you think that it means? What could this mean in relation to health?

2. When it comes to health-related issues such as depression, child abuse, domestic violence, drug abuse, or disease, in what ways do people exercise willful blindness? Why would they want to? 3. Margaret Heffernan tells the story of a Montana town that had an 80 percent higher rate of disease than anywhere else in the country. If the people of this town had not been so willfully blind and had listened to Gayla Benefield, how might the health and lives of the people in this town been different? 4. Why do you think that none of the medical professionals in the town of Libby, Montana, questioned the health issues that were plaguing their town? 5. Based on this video, how might you have reacted differently if you had been a member of the community in Libby, Montana? 6. When it comes to health-related issues or problems, how do you know when it is necessary to contact a medical professional? Are there exceptions to this? 7. Can you think of a situation in your life where you were willfully blind? If so, why do you think that you were willfully blind? 8. Do you believe the saying, “ignorance is bliss” to be true? What other stories that Margaret Heffernan tells in the video illustrate the saying “ignorance is bliss”?

Answer:

This is a legal term. Just to get you started, someone that practices being willfully blind, remains ignorant of the situation. They do not want to know the facts so that they can remain "in the dark" or willfully blind. When you do something "willfully" you are doing it and you KNOW that you are doing it. Doing it on purpose. Blind - not seeing the whole picture - or any of the knowledge or facts that you need.

Troy Maxson- physical traits and evidence that supports the physical traits
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The author opens by describing Troy, the play's protagonist and patriarch of the Maxson family. He is a 53-year-old, hefty, black man. He is described by the author as "a large man with thick, heavy hands (Wilson)." His size and blackness are a reflection of his sensitivities and life choices. Troy takes satisfaction in the fact that he can provide for his family, a position that would boost the egos of most men, even in today's contemporary culture. The protagonist's other characteristics throughout the play include being opinionated, loud, and harsh at times. According to the play, despite his frequent swearing, "he has the potential of rising to higher levels of expression (Wilson)." Troy is a good example of a modern-day tragic hero, and this article will show this by looking at both the good and bad things that have happened to him.

Relationship with other character:

He recounted numerous adventures as a trash collector with his buddy, Jim Bono. Bono's father was despondent about life in the same way that Troy's father was, but unlike Troy's father, Bono's father never played a fathering or providing role for Bono and his family. Bono described his father as having "The Walking Blues," a disorder that caused him to move constantly from one woman to the next and prohibited him from remaining in one spot for lengthy periods of time. Bono didn't recognize his father and knew very little about him. According to Bono, his father, like many other African Americans of his father's age, was "searching out The New Land."
