Language is social by nature; it is inseparably connected with the people who are its creators and users; it grows and develops together with the development of society.

The Hero Journey of Captain Steven Hiller Captain Steven Hiller played an extremely important role in the movie Independence Day‚ and portrayed a phenomenal example of the hero journey.

Gattaca “Gattaca shows that even if your resume is in your genes‚ what you make of your life is up to you.” The 1997 film‚ “Gattaca” by Andrew Niccol‚ is a film in which the characters live in “the not too distant future‚” a time where many of the people in our world have become genetically manipulated; where the elite are the nobles and the invalids are the peasants. The elite are at the top of the employment ladder‚ and when called up for a job interview‚ they speak of nothing but what is in
