Think of specific instances when this strategy of failure is most commonly used..
Such as when a women knows she is being cheated on and instead of confronting her husband and his mistress and maybe coming face to face with a break up, she ignores the elephant in the relationship and pretends as though nothing is happening. Most cases are entirely destructive in all aspects.
Can you think of any times when failing on purpose would bring about a positive ending?
A teenager being a puppet to his or her parents when they want to do something his or her own way. If the parents tell the teenage all that he or she needs to do to succeed and the teenage unwillingly listen, a positive ending comes to the teenager even though he or she failed at what they wanted to do.
ReplyDeleteAnother positive ending could be failing to speak up about problems in the government. People fail to say something that they notice in the government and move on with their lives. This person in government may succeed more because the people who are creating this problem do not want the people of the country to hear this, so the person who saw this happen might receive a payoff of some sort, such as a promotion and may lead to him having a better life.
ReplyDeleteSara Barielles wrote the song "Love Song" after her record label told her that they wanted her to write a love song. Barielles did not want to do that, so she wrote a song about how she did not want to write one. This song became a huge success even though she failed at what her record label wanted.
ReplyDeletePeer pressure could be a big topic when it comes to failing on purpose. Kids may pressure you to do certain things and to become part of the "in crowd", but by failing to do those things you could be the bigger and better person, therefore creating a positive outcome out of your failure.
