    In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Morality of Memory,” Chirstopher Grau examines the concept of memory removal from several philosophical viewpoints. The author includes the Utilitarian approach, where such a device would be applauded (and morally required) for it would increase happiness and lessen suffering. However, Grau also notes that since we learn from painful experiences, "denying (someone) useful information...would probably not be for the best...(maximum utility)," and consequently, not fulfill the Utilitarian objective (121). The author also analyzes the concept of memory removal from the ethical viewpoints voiced by Nagel, Nozick and Murdoch. However, the most poignant argument concerns the conscience choice…

    In the 1950’s film Rear Window, director Alfred Hitchcock sets his entire work looking through a man, L.B. Jeffries’ rear window. Because of his broken leg, Jeffries is confined to his apartment, and even to his wheelchair. It is here, in his apartment, that the protagonist watches, or even spies on his neighbors. He draws conclusions on these people, but from a distance: across the apartment-building courtyard. In addition to this physical distance separating Jeffries from his neighbors, his perspective, too, distances him from his conclusions. Only seen through the glass of a window and the lens of a camera, Jeffries’ point of view is confined to only a single vision. We see that this single vision, however, provides Jeffries with an ample amount of information. The avant-garde cinematography combined with the original plot creates a new mean to film. Alfred Hitchcock’s innovative Rear Window allows the audience to bring their own experiences to the film: just as Jeffries draws conclusions on his neighbors from a distance, man too establishes his own perspective in the real world, and brings this experience to the film to understand its meaning.…

However, the similarities are not as numerous as the differences. There are many contrasts between the story and the film, particularly in the areas of characters, and setting.…

    Both the movie “Separate but Equal”, and the article “ How the Supreme Court Arrives at Decisions” by William J. Brennan, Jr., shows how the Supreme Court deals with issues, and what it takes for them to come up with a decision. It is a very complicated process because they have to be able to interpret the text of thee Constitution and come up with a ruling which so often can change a current law and affect every citizen in the United States. If they do not take the time need then it can be catastrophic for the country. In “Separate but Equal” all the justices had different views on the issue concerning racial segregation in public schools. Some of these views had to do with what state the Justices came from and what those particular states believed in and represented, and some felt that way on a personal level. Decisions like that should not be made based on personal preference or because of where you were born and raised. Because of these multiple opposing opinions, it was very difficult for the Supreme Court to come to a ruling on this case. In the article, Brennan says that Justices represent the citizens who elected them their representative, and they make their decisions based on the law.…

    Like a number of current sitcoms, the male protagonists are portrayed as being afflicted by variant strands of perpetual adolescence. If they are not working, they are playing online role games, hanging out at a comic book store, or ingesting successive waves of takeout. Of course, a sitcom must include a subplot of ongoing sexual frustration, and "The Big Bang Theory" does not disappoint. The lone exception is the theoretical physicist who views "coitus" – as he calls it – as a mere distraction from his work.…
