Star Trek's Rivalry: Star Wars Versus Star Trek
Star Wars vs Star Trek is a rivalry that has been going on since 1977 when Star Wars released A New Hope in theaters. Although Trekkies seem to believe that Star Trek is better than Star Wars, they would be wrong. Star Wars The Force Awakens broke the box office record and has a net worth of $1.783 billion, while Star Trek’s highest net worth is only $282 million. Darth Vader is the greatest cinematic villain of all time, bar none. Star Trek's Khan was, in all fairness, one of the best as well. But a plastic-chested, Shakespeare-quoting Ricardo Montalban or venom-spewing Benedict Cumberbatch can't hold a lightsaber to Vader. Star Wars also has better weapons, Star Wars’ lightsaber, a pulsating beam of light that is a sword that slices through

    Jar Jar Binks Sith Theory Analysis

    With the seventh installment of Star Wars coming this month I figured it would make a good topic. This video talks about a popular new conspiracy theory where the character Jar Jar Binks was supposed to become the Sith lord instead of Palpatine. It makes some very convincing points. The clumsy character seems to find his way into some very powerful positions. This might have happened due to control of the force. Clips from the video show him flicking his wrists and while talking to lead characters. These conversations happened at crucial times during the film, and they all ended in the sith’s favor. The creator of the video believes he is using Jedi mind trick to sway the plot in his favor. The creator…

    Han and Rome

    The Han China and Roman empires were similar and different in many ways. The Rome and Han had multiple characteristics in common such as a (s1) patriarchal society, in which women were inferior to men, (s2) upper level social classes, and (s3) both containing a large gap between the rich and poor. However, these dynasties also contrasted in many areas. For example, the (d1) Romans had many slaves, which were used for agriculture and business production, while the Han did not.

    Universal Themes Of Star Wars

    The universal themes of Star Wars are relationship to machines, issues of friendship and obligation to other people around you, and control over your destiny. Darth Vader is an example of relationships to machines because he is more machine than man, as an antagonist in Star Wars. Star Wars also has an infinite amount of examples on the issues of friendships and people around you, with character relationships playing out. The case of Luke Skywalker can easily be seen to fit the destiny pattern. Luke is an orphan, uncertain of his place in the world and even of his own identity. He is cast adrift but is guided along his path by Ben and by Yoda, who share the wise elder counselor…

    Supremacy In The Space Race

    The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union was one of the greatest rivalries of the 20th century. From 1955 to 1972, these two superpowers battled each other for supremacy in space flight technologies, with each country launching multiple satellites and manned missions into space. Their ultimate goal was to put a man on the moon. The 1957 launch of the Sputnik satellite by the Soviets had an immense effect on the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower. The launch proved that Eisenhower lacked leadership skills. He could not prove to his fellow Republicans in congress that space travel should be a top priority of the country. Democrats believed that not enough funding had gone into national defense and that the Soviet satellite…

    There are many similarities between Birth of a galaxy and Silent Seven. In Birth of a galaxy, it uses geometric shapes.

    Battle of Ideas

    The Battle of Ideas starts in 1914 showing a world with a global economy that is then torn apart by World War I. This created the economic development, world trade, and globalization all the way up to the 1980’s. The documentary explains how the world first moved toward more government control and then began to move away for most of the 20th century. During this time two young economists emerge in hope to solve the world’s economic troubles, John Meynard Keynes and Friederich Von Hayek. The story then focuses on the struggles that occur between the ideas of the two economists. Keynes, whose ideas on government intervention dominated much of the 20th century, and Hayek, whose free-market ideas were largely ignored until the economic crises of the 1970’s. Throughout the film it gives a better understanding of how the world and different economies are affected by socialism, capitalism, and communism. In Eastern Europe, Africa, and majority of South America the result was socialism, which lead to more economic hardship. In Western Europe and the United States the result was booming economies. The interesting thing about the film is how the theories and ideas of two economists could be so influential during the 20th century that they still continue to play a key role in today’s society.…

    Clash of Civilizations

    The world was returning to a civilization-dominated world where future conflicts would originate from clashes between ‘civilizations’. The thesis of Huntington outlines a future where the “great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of the conflict will be cultural” (Huntington, 1993). Huntington divides the world’s culture into seven current civilizations and those are the western, Latin American, Confucian, Japanese, Islamic, Hindu, and Slavic-Orthodox (Huntington, 1993). In addition, he considers Africa as just a possible civilization because of the development of African consciousness. The civilizations mentioned are defined primarily by religion. Huntington hypothesized that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic instead, the great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural (Huntington, 1993). These days where the time of globalization is accompanied with fast changing world situation in human history, the Clash of civilizations is a paradigm, which is used to describe contemporary world pattern…

    The Voortrekkers comprised two groups from the eastern frontier region of the Cape Colony, semi-nomadic pastoralists known as Trekboers, and established farmers and artisans known as Grensboere, or Border Farmers. Together these groups were later called Voortrekkers Pioneers. While most settlers who lived in the western Cape later known as the Cape Dutch did not trek eastward, a small number did.…

    han vs rome

    The Roman and Han Empires were among the greatest empires in the history of the World. Both ruling in the first century of the Common Era, the Han dynasty peaking in the 200s and the Roman Empire in the 400s, these empires showed great military power, strived in economic trade, and their territories covered vast land. So how did these great empires find themselves plummeting to an unfortunate collapse? Although there are many similarities in the reasons for the desecration of these empires, there are also several contrasting reasons for the declines in economic trade, effects of the changing populations, and the failure of the political systems.…
