“The Twilight Zone”‚ how it affected the culture of its time and can still be felt today. “There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle-ground between light and shadow‚ between science and superstition‚ and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the Twilight Zone.” (Rod Serling) Twilight Zone’s Opening narration

"Against stupidity‚ the gods themselves contend in vain." - Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) Stupidity is one of the biggest human weaknesses. As you can see from the quotation in the title people wondered about human stupidity even in the times of Friedrich von Schiller. Stupidity has always been there. So far there has been no culture‚ religion‚ political party or ideology which has taught people how not to act stupidly. So I think that is very unlikely that this essay could change

Examine Nietzsche’s statement in The Birth of Tragedy that it is only as an ‘Aesthetic Phenomenon’ that existence can be ‘justified’ to eternity. According to the qualities of ‘eternity’ and ‘existence’ that Nietzsche and Schopenhauer prescribe; it is by definition that something can only be justified in the phenomenal world: the world of ‘existence’.

The professor Philip Hallie’s ‘From Cruelty to Goodness’ radiates unwavering genuine philanthropy which by its nature oppose the cruelty and imbalance of power he talks about. The understanding of how cruelty works goes through the understanding what cruelty is and what morality has to say about that. Professor Hallie recognizes two types of ethics- negative and positive- that illuminate the path of good-making. The negative is the ban for actions associated with deliberate harm-making and pain-inflicting

Similarly‚ in ‘Madness and Civilisation

Sir Charles G.D Roberts’ stories “ The Young Ravens That Call Upon Him” and “When Twilight Falls Upon The Stump Lots” are similar in a lot of ways. The point of view in the Young Ravens story is told from the eagle‚ the point of view in the Stump Lots is omniscient. In the “young ravens” story the eagle is the protagonist and the ewe is the antagonist. In the “stump lots” story the bear is the protagonist and the cow is the antagonist. In both stories the setting is beautifully
