It was the height of the counter culture revolution‚ the civil rights movement the drive for higher education‚ middle class advancement‚ the "Great Society"‚ the industrial community servicing the military‚ and most notably‚ the Vietnam war and conscription into service.

The films of the Portuguese director João Pedro Rodrigues are usually mounted in such a way to pique our curiosity‚ even if the accessibility of the challenging narratives are sometimes limited. I found “To Die Like a Man” a worthy experience‚ regardless of its flaws‚ and was even more impressed with the mournful “The Last Time I Saw Macao”. His new drama‚ “The Ornithologist”‚ raises the level of abstraction when compared to the previous tales‚ but still comprehends homosexual connotations‚ crime

In The Other Wes Moore‚ Wes reveals his confusion with his own motivations to the audience. I believe that he was so driven to understand the other Wes Moore because of the realization that that could’ve been him. The two Wes Moores had similar upbringings; Both lived in very poor areas with high crime and violence surrounding them. Wes was confused because they both didn’t end up the same way. He was successful while the other Wes was not. Both men grew up without a strong father figure in their

Maybe life is just a period of time that we exist in this world. Even though we have to enjoy it purposely‚ not just living as the robots wait until the day we run out of energy. Some of us find ourselves strong‚ some of us think that ourselves as weak as we used to be but in fact none of us is weak‚ nor strong. The difference between us that is having our own different purpose in life. Some of us might have an easy purpose to achieve‚ some of us might have a tough one to accomplish it. However‚

Metro Trains “Dumb Ways to Die” advertisement was popular because instead of taking the usual safety precaution route by using What If’s and scenarios meant to scare people into compliance; Metro Trains decided entertainment would be the better route to go. To create the kind of buzz they wanted for their advertisement they not only came up with a catchy song (A sure-fire way to make sure people remember something) and an entertaining game.

I stood alone in the silence of the trailer… My child was asleep on the couch. No one or nothing but my sobs were to be heard. I ached from within. Why did Zeus have to die? Why did he not listen and stay put as he should of? How would I explain to my little boy his puppy was no longer with us‚ but on into a different life now? I heard my husband coming down the drive in his rattling old red pickup truck… Normally when he came gravel was flying up behind him and Carter was outside screaming with

The topic I chose is Euthanasia. Euthanasia has two sides‚ a positive and a negative‚ which I will discuss and elaborate on. Euthanasia is often called “mercy killing”. It is intentionally making someone die‚ rather than allowing that person to die naturally. It is sometimes the act of ending someone’s life‚ who is terminally ill‚ or is suffering in severe pain.

When we hear stories about soldiers and about war‚ it’s usually about patriotism for one’s country‚ their duty‚ the bravery of the soldier who died in battle‚ and the pride at a soldier’s return. The story that is not typically heard is what it really feels like to put on a uniform‚ go to war‚ and come home. The psychological and emotional trauma these young men and women face in war is nothing short of moral anguish. This is evident in Haruki Murakami’s gruesome story‚ “Another Way to Die.” Here
