    When building many of the castles in the 1300-1400’s the main purpose was to keep the enemies out and of course for conquest. In the video I watched, the Forbidden Knowledge video, they called out some very key point of why and how these fortresses and castles where erected and defended. Not only where there kings of the lands, but then each of those lands were divided up to noble kin and lords. They were always trying to better there futures with more land, even if that included killing your own cousin to get his piece of land. One great example of an intuitive fortress, Caesar had made a donut shaped fortress at one point around a small town; he shut out and was starving the people in the town and then also keeping out the men that were…

    “The ideal by which equality of opportunity is available to any American, allowing the highest aspirations and goals to be achieved”, this is the American Dream. The American Dream is the cornerstone of our nation, symbolizing how every dream is within reach. Displayed in novels like The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the American Dream is reached by many, and a similar conclusion is shared: the American Dream is achievable, but expectations are higher than reality, and the ideal end is often ruined or lost. While it is debatable if the American Dream is achievable or not, through a few novels, we glean the “rags to riches” story, which helps to develop an overarching sense of incontentment shown by characters…

    One thing that poped out to me was in the halo effect video was when he was talking about how the media only take a story about Christianity or some other religion when something dramatic happens. Sometimes our world leaders and celebrity feel like they have to apologize for what they believe in. In the second video it talks about how there are many different religions and all of them with different congregations because of this what they do effects the rest of the world. The way they are doing that is because the love of thy name is used in there religion. religion has such a big effect without religion being at least 1.3 trillion dollar business would be gone. This proves that the effect of religion is not intangible but measurable. In the halo effect video emphasize on the fact that people need to understand what faith groups actually do which help and valinteering and not fro themselves but for society. Many people think that if these faith groups or congregation stopped doing charity or valenturing the government…

    In the Ted Talk, Jeff Iliff describes different ways that our bodies, more specifically our internal organs, secrete waste and how this process differs in the two percent of our bodies that is the brain (2014). Iliff also stresses the importance of learning about healthy sleep patterns by mentioning the fact that we spend nearly one-third of our lives sleeping (2014). Furthermore, the video describes a process that occurs in our brains, in order to secret waste that may be lying between various cells (Iliff, 2014). When we are awake, there is very little cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) flowing through the brain. However, whenever we are sleep, there tends to be an influx of CFS flowing throughout the brain, which is what scientists are calling waste…

    After seeing the video I believe that one of the solutions sort of works, Dualism simply because I went to a catholic school and raised to be religious. I was always taught believe that if someone or myself does something “evil” that we let the devil affect our judgment or listen to the devil to do something wrong such as fight with siblings, steal or cheating. Although, some believe there are issues with this solution because if god has great power, knowledge and all good intentions, then why doesn’t he stop all evil/ devil. I think god uses evil as a scare tactic, represented as a figure to attempt keep individuals from doing something evil and staying on the right and good path that God would want us to follow. Overall keeping individuals…

    For my creative media project, I put together a short music video. I decided to make a music video because I felt is was significant to a problem in todays society. Today, popular culture, such as today’s hits music, has a negative impact on women and young girls. For example, in a lot of songs with a male artist, the male will degrade women. With that said, one may turn on the radio, or television, and hear a song about how the male artist is so wealthy that he can sleep around with any girl that he would like. In the music video of the same song, one may see a women, wearing little or no clothing, dancing seductively on the artist. This is very alarming to our youth of girls. Because of the lyrics and music videos, young girls will look up…
