Grand Theft Auto IV is a 2008 sandbox-style action-adventure video game published by Rockstar Games, and developed by Rockstar North, which has been released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles, and for the Windows operating system. The game involves a separate timeline and world than its predecessors in the Grand Theft Auto series, starting the fourth "era" in the series, and is set in Liberty City, a fictional city based heavily on modern day New York City.[a] The game follows Niko Bellic, an Eastern European war veteran who comes to the United States in search of the American Dream, but quickly becomes entangled in a world of gangs, crime, and corruption. Like other games in the series, GTA IV is composed of elements from driving games and third-person shooters, and features "open-world" gameplay, in which players can interact with the game world at their leisure in a nonlinear fashion. Grand Theft Auto IV also features several online multiplayer modes.

Two expansion packs have been developed for the game, originally released as downloadable content for the Xbox 360 version throughout 2009. Both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony feature new protagonists. The two expansions have been released together for all platforms as a stand-alone game called Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition is a bundle that includes both the original GTA IV game and the Episodes.

As the first game of the critically acclaimed series to appear on seventh generation consoles, Grand Theft Auto IV was widely anticipated. A major commercial and critical success, it broke industry records with sales of around 3.7 million units on its first day of release and grossing more than $500 million in revenue in the first week, selling an estimated 6 million units worldwide.[13][14] As of March 2011[update], the game had sold over 20 million copies.[15]

It is the all-time highest-scoring game on three

    Instead of having to slink about looking for unconventional amusement, if you have a morbid captivation with violence, you need merely to check out your local electronics store. On a rack at the Wiz in the Upper East side of Manhattan, the infamous game Grand Theft Auto is displayed right behind the cashier. As either a “gansta” or “psycho bitch,” you’ll be “running over innocent pedestrians, shooting cops, and evading the long arm of the law.”…

    From the day Vincent was born, he had always been concidered as highly flawed, and as an 'invalid'. His parents were planning on carrying on the family name with their first born child by calling Vincent, Anton, after his father, Antonio. However, once finding out that Vincent was prone to illness' such as neurological disorder, manic depression, attention deficit disorder, heart failure, and was expected to live for only 30.2 years, Vincent's father felt that he wasn't worthy of the family name, and decided to call him Vincent Anton instead. Mother and Father, Maria and Antonio had a second child, who Antonio felt was worthy of the family name, because unlike Vincent who was conceived the natural way, Anton was born through genetic engineering. As the two boys grew up, Anton was always considered superior to Vincent as he was always upstaging him at everything they did. Until one day, when the two boys played a game of chicken. Like usual, Anton was expecting Vincent to turn around and swim back to shore. However, no matter how much effort he put into trying to beat his brother, Anton and Vincent were neck and neck the whole swim. Anton was confused at how Vincent still had the energy to swim, and finally Anton wasn't able to go on any longer and he gave up. Passing out and starting to drown, Vincent saved his brother's life. For the first time in their lives, Vincent was better than Anton at something. Even though everybody believed that he wasn't good enough to acheive his goals, Vincent now believed that he could achieve anything that he set his mind to. Vincent decided to run away from home and he got a job as a janitor at Gattaca. This was his first glimpse of Gattaca, and he liked what he saw.…

Sometime in late December to early January, Twenty-Third Air Force was part of reestablishing democracy in the Republic of Panama during the operation.

    The military revolution that occurred in Europe from 1560 to 1660 arguably represented the first signs of modernity for European and Western armies. As Geoffrey Parker describes in his book, The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500-1800, European armies before this military revolution conducted a preponderance of their wars using siege warfare against highly developed fortifications reminiscent of the age . This preponderance, however, began to change in Europe during a military revolution from 1560 to 1660, which would rebalance warfare towards more open combat in battle . This rebalance of warfare occurred because of changes in the tactics, the lethality, and the costs of war. Additionally, these changes…

    The case of Brown vs. Board of Education, was one of the biggest turning points for African Americans to becoming accepted into the white society at the time. Brown vs board of education is one of the most important cases that african americans has brought upon the united states for the better. The case Brown vs. Board of Education wasn't just about the children and the education; it was about being equal in a society that says african and americans are treated equal, in fact they were definitely not. This case was the reason that blacks and whites no longer have separate restrooms, and water fountains, this was the case that truly destroyed the saying separate but equal. It started in Topeka, Kansas, a african american third-grader named Linda Brown had to walk one mile through a railroad switchyard to get to her african american elementary school. Linda's father Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her in the white elementary school seven blocks from her house, but the principal of the school refused simply because the child was african american. That didn't stop Oliver Brown from fighting for his daughters education. There were 13 other parents wanting their african american children enrolled to the white school. The parents filed suit against Topeka Board of Education for their children. Oliver Brown was the first name listed in the lawsuit. During the time of the lawsuits african americans were treated very unfairly. Oliver Brown had went to NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to fight to get Linda in the white school. The NAACP hired lawyers to fight for dark skin children all around the United States to be able to go to the same schools as white children. The 14 Amendment was violated by this case. It states that anyone colored or not born in the US is equal. The states referred this case as the Plessy vs. Ferguson which had allowed separate but equal school systems for whites and african americans…

    Gattaca is a movie directed by Andrew Niccol and the film is set in the "not too distant future." Andrew Niccol's perception of the future isn't what most people expect, but once thought about carefully it seems quite believable. This movie presents us with a new method in which society strives for perfection and it also makes us wonder if genetic engineering is morally correct. Your place in society in Gattaca is based on your genetic makeup and the way you were born. People born the way we know as natural are "in-valids". On the other hand people born with the aid of genetic engineering are "valids." An "in-valid" has his future set out to be a cleaner or other insignificant job in society which doesn't require an education. A new form of prejudice has been recently debated about, which is the idea of having greater or second-rate genes.…

    I do agree with this week’s speaker Sarah Lightheart one-hundred percent; I think that health is so hard to define because of the fact, there are so many different aspects of health. Health is not just eating right, exercising, and being social every now and again. There are six different dimensions of health that need to have some sort of balance in order to achieve the optimal level of health in oneself to in turn be healthy. To me, health does not mean that it you are lacking a little in one area of the six aspects of health that you are an unhealthy person, I feel that there needs to be more of a balance within all six dimensions. In addition, every aspect does not need to be at a maximum level for a person to be healthy; I personally focus more on the emotional, physical, spiritual, and social aspects of health and the rest just fall into place for me. With the exception of environmental health aspect, I do want I can but, I do not go out of my way to be more healthy in the environmental dimension, in which I do need to find more of a balance. In conclusion, the definition of health to me is a balance of all six dimensions of health I believe that each person has their own personal levels they need to maintain to be healthy, Every human has their own individual traits to be healthy, and what makes one person healthy may not do the same for…

    "Consider God's handiwork: who can straighten what he hath made crooked?" (Ecclesiastes 7:13). Such is the opening quote and the thesis of director Andrew Nichol's film Gattaca (1997). Although the film is based on the lives of genetically engineered human beings and the effects that such have on the "invalids", that is those who are "God-children", it deeply criticises the values of a society of "valids" through its satirical tone and the use of film noir techniques. Gattaca not only supports the belief that nature, despite its flaws, is preferable to a supposed error-free genetically engineered existence, but it also advocates that nobody should "tamper with" what "[God] has made crooked." Through the medium of the film, director Nichols…

    The ethical issues presented in Gattaca are ethical egoism, psychological egoism, sacrifice and the possibilities of radical perfection. It challenged the worthiness of the consequences of extreme self serving efforts; to take risks; to do the impossible despite public opinion. These ethical issues are based on the main character, Vincent. He uses these ideologies to achieve his goal of perfection, defying the constant disapproval of his parents which alienated him as a child.…
