    Equality and Third World Countries

    Because of the extreme amount of poverty in Third World countries such as Haiti, people tend to think that the life of an individual in a poverty-stricken nation matters less than a life of an individual in a wealthier nation. Because the people of these poor countries have such few of the necessary resources to survive, such as food, water, and medical attention, they are in severe need of assistance. In such countries as Haiti,

    Civil War

    The first major land battle was fought at Bull Run in Virginia in 1861. The men who were soldiers in these armies were volunteers who chose to go to war.

Where did all the soldiers who fought at Gettysburg come from? Why did they choose to go to war?

  • Star Wars

    Star Wars

    George Lucas’s Star Wars revived old myths and elements that would prove to transcend time and generations. Not simply the special effects, acting, or characters but mostly the story itself has the greatest influence on the film. Focusing on the dynamic character Luke Skywalker, travelling through an experience unprepared for, and watching his epiphany-like growth creates the film’s utmost accomplishment: a tangible relationship between the character and the movie goer. As a recurring war movie

    We Are Told About the World Before We See It.We Imagine Most Things Before We Experience Them (walter Lipman) How Might Expectation and Previous Knowledge Affect Perception and Therefore Knowledge?

    Perception is a way of knowing and gaining knowledge. Expectation, the belief about the way an event should happen or behave, and previous knowledge, understanding and skills we gain after experience play significant roles when gaining knowledge. They frame and lead us into imagine before we experience. Our five senses let us see, smell, taste, feel and hear. People think that we believe what we see. However, we see what we believe.

  • Brave New World V 1984

    Brave New World V 1984

    Our society is, in many ways, far from the totalitarianism of George Orwell’s 1984, and yet it is surprisingly close to the brainwashed civilization of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World which paints a vivid picture of indulgence, promiscuity, and an utter lack of individuality. The world of Brave New World is mindless and seeped so deeply in pleasure that the people, rather than being oppressed as in 1984, lack any incentive to change, and,

    Can Women in Hamlet Been Seen as Victim’s in a Man’s World?

    To what extent are women in “Hamlet” victims in a man’s world? Although Shakespeare’s primary concern in his plays is not to portray women as victim’s, to an outsider looking in this is what it may seem like as there are only two women in the play (Ophelia; Polonius’ daughter, and Gertrude; Queen and Hamlet’s mother) and both end up dying. Some people say that Shakespeare presents women throughout “Hamlet” as easy to convince and
