Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was a very action-packed movie with the main character really not accomplishing his goal. The whole theme and the whole central idea of the film was that sometimes in life things are just meant to not be disturbed to be in your life. Indiana wanted that ark, he tried and risked his life to do as much as he could to get that ark. Only thing was that he was fighting against another archaeologist who also wanted it. With all the problems that it caused, none of them got to keep the ark, because it wasn’t meant to be kept. Way too many problems occur if you do attempt, which is what the movie demonstrated.…
In the novel Cassandra by Christa wolf, we are told the story of Cassandra before she is murdered by Clytemnestra after she got captured and enslaved after the fall of Troy. Being already regarded as an outsider, Cassandra begin to isolate herself from her own family as we move through the novel and also cuts herself off from the society she lives in through the idols that the Trojans dearly believe in.

As the belief grows stronger, more idols such as “Helen and the Trajan horse” also beginning to surface to give the people a purpose which is like believing in deception, made up idols in order to empower individuals…

Societies across the globe have socio-cultural and religious orientations that differ depending on their level of evolution from a simple social setup to more a complex society influenced by information and globalization. When the society evolves from its simple set-up to complex one, beliefs and religious doctrines are subjected to logic; for instance the first society was simple and consisted of gatherers and hunters. The hunting and gathering society was leisurely and consisted of shaman whose work was to influence spiritual forces. Shamans enjoyed a prestigious social status hence they were provided with food. In the Egyptian society, spirits…

The Olmec culture of Religion and Rule was one of the most diverse cultures in the Mesoamerican civilizations. Much of the Olmec culture revolved around their kings and the religion of the Jaguar which was the most furious of the all the animals in Mesoamerica. The Olmec’s were a straightforward people in most areas but usually introduced great complexity when religion was involved. This astounding culture would go on to influence the rest of the multiple Mesoamerican cultures and leave substantial legacies for the rest of the fantastic civilization in the area.…
A quote by Edward R. Murrow states, “No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” During the Red Scare, Senator McCarthy did terrorize a whole nation, and Arthur Miller became a victim of McCarthyism. Miller suffered through accusations of possibly believing in communism; as a result, he wrote a play called The Crucible, in which he used the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 to explain the communist hysteria during the 1950s. Arthur Miller develops an allegory in The Crucible by comparing the Salem Witch Trials to McCarthyism by using ringleaders, persecuted couples, and hypocrisy in the government or legal system.…
Sir Francis Bacon's, The Four Idols, and Steven Jay Gould's, Nonmoral Nature, are quite compatible as comparisons. I would say more so than comparing Gould's work with Charles Darwin's Natural Selection, from a literary standpoint. I think Bacon and Gould would have shared some similar ideas and agreed with one another on several issues.…
In the beginning of my reading, it was talking about the Indian tribe cutting down the tree which I felt like they should have told a ceremony like the one that they do for the killing of an animal. Especially because trees is part of the nature and it represents something big for the wild animals that lives in the jungle such as monkeys. I found that very inhumane by their part but I should understand that it was something that they had to do in order to make money from the various of items that they collected in the jungle so in that part I would have done the same in order to get machetes and Winchester rifles so the tribe could protect themselves. I have noticed that Xumu is a very wise person and an outstanding leader of the Hun Kui tribe,…
A SONG TO END ALL WAR 2-PART TREBL] issaurga Festivafl Youtlr eh*ir @ 2 PROGRAM NOTE ABOUT THE COMPOSER From my first encorurter I have had a special resonance with Bill Wortell's art - both his sculpture and his words. His writing entitled The Shaman of Brotherhood (Lullaby for War) holds special significance in our present world. There's a certain sense of frustration, yet hopefulness at the same time. If only we could find the right melody, David L. Brunner is acclaimed as a dynamic conductor, inspired teacher and imaginative the right drum beat to invent a song to end all war.…
The Assyrian, a relief carving standing eighteen feet tall, encaptures the culture of the ancient Assyrian empire. The figure in the carving is large, muscular, and holding a life-size lion in a single hand. The lion is clawed, with a long and winding tail, scales across his belly and a mane of patterned lines around his head. The lion has one of his bottom legs hiked up against the side of the man, while the other lays on the front of his body; the two upper legs stick out at an upward angle while the figure holds them in a trap. In his other hand, the figure grips the handle of an object with a squiggly, worm shape hanging down. The Assyrian is well-dressed in a patterned dress that ends just above the knees with short sleeves and four tassels hanging down…
Family: a trusting force and an anchor during rough waters. Family is important because it is a binding that chains members together. It is a support network in which every individual can trust one another, which in order to protect this support network, members will do anything to their ability to protect. Therefore, because of this drive to protect, kinship leads to irrational actions and behaviors that ultimately decides one’s destiny. This irrationality can be seen with Parzival and his mother , Queen Herzeloyde because Parzival’s mother had kept him ignorant throughout his childhood as her way of shielding him. This is also exemplified between Gawain and King Arthur where because King Arthur’s love for Gawain, all his actions are well-decided…
While naturalists have no alternatives, the ungodly thinking trilemma only affects thinkers who think as if they were ungodly. Of course, Christians are quite capable of ungodly thinking. We confess our fault. It’s just that we have a better option. In contradistinction to this better option, the ungodly trilemma claims that all thinkers are limited to three choices for thinking. It not only ignores divine revelation but also denies demonic influence.…
Assyrians had succeeded in Mesopotamia for a long time, yet by 911 B.C. the general public started overcoming encompassing territories and joined Mesopotamia toward one colossal domain that incorporated the Taurus Mountains about advanced Turkey, the Mediterranean drift, also parcels of Egypt. To pull their realm stable, the Assyrians forcefully ensured their region and combat continually with foes. In the meantime, as they increased and protected their victories, Assyrians fabricated urban communities with substantial structures and statues. Assyrian culture was dominated by men, and women were legitimately sub-par compared to them. In spite of the fact that the Assyrians manufactured solid monetary ties over an immeasurable region, they controlled…
