Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Many people believe entertainment to be a harmless thing. It is a form of pleasure used to pass the time. But what happens when it becomes a weaponized machine, used to warp an entire country’s culture and sense of values? For America, this is what has happened. Entertainment has changed their culture into a consumer driven, narcissistic wasteland, that has propagated more negativity than positivity in its wake. Entertainment has changed the culture and values of Americans whether they are willing to admit it or not. Advertisements are a good example of this, as they often use celebrities ...

Slavery has been one of the most significant and influential policies in the United States of America. People contemporarily see this as one of the nation’s greatest mistakes, feeling shame for what many people consider to be a grand mistake. Nevertheless, people often do not remember that almost half of the country supported this practice even when the other half had systematically decried and outlawed it. A great thinker by the name of Angelina E. Grimke was one of the most important fighters against this barbaric situation, with her speeches being cornerstones of the emancipation movement. In them, ...

The XIX century was a period when there were some profound societal, political and economic transformations in the USA. Some of the movements such as abolitionism or women’s suffrage would not have been successful, if there had not been strong advocates in the civil society. One of such figures was Angelina Grimke, who was White, but the racial issues did not stop her from participating in the public debate concerning slavery and women’s rights. Her activity was unconventional for the mid-XIX century and it is important to investigate why her name should be written in the U.S. ...

Everyone has heard of the acclaimed series of novels about Harry Potter by the British writer Joanne Rowling. Many read books and watched movies. Comparison of films and books has become commonplace, both in social networks and in various forums and articles. Books and film stories about “a boy who survived” have many distinguishing features, as Joanne Rowling was finishing the story about Harry at the time when the first movie came out in the early 2000s. The peculiarity is that the film is not much different from the original book, as Rowling herself had in many ways a ...

Video Critical Thinking

Video Critical Thinking It is hard to believe that the video called Mangos for Charlotte is based on real events which started in Uganda back in 1986. Peace and stability changed to chaos and terror after the young revolutionary Yoweri Museveni came to power. Armed groups, in particular, the Lord’s Resistance Army, claimed that they have been called to rule the country according to the word of the Bible. Every day, they abducted children and young people to replenish their ranks, making them kill and destroy their own relatives and villages. Children captured by the rebellions were doomed ...

The new live action movie of Maleficent is reworking of the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty with the villain taking the main role and the ever happy Princess Aurora taking a backseat. It slowly delves into the background story of why Maleficent came about to be the way she is-an evil witch who cast a spell on baby Aurora. Without getting into the details of every dialogue here we are going to look into some elements, character relations and compare the review of two critics.

The elements/relationships that are going to be written about here are

- Setting of the movie The movies boundaries are between two worlds, the Kingdom and ...

In this essay, I will make a critical discussion about Aristotle’s analysis of virtues and vices regarding correct attitude towards material good, services and money. I will begin by presenting Aristotle’s virtue about generosity, a virtue that talks about how people should spend their money, and I will continue by researching how this issue reflects into contemporary virtue of generosity. I will argue that Aristotle’s ethics are the starting point regarding a good life for a human being, the middle point between deficiency and excess, both being vices. Furthermore, I contend that, even if Aristotle’s virtues were right, we ...

- Using examples of relevant case law, distinguished between the following types of contract. - Bilateral a and Unilateral contracts Contracts can either be bilateral or unilateral in nature.

Harriet Beecher asserted that the most appropriate place for the woman was the home. She compared the home with the church claiming that it was the most holy of places to be (Bilhartz and Elliot, 65). She thus gave the woman the same role assigned to the priest at church calling her the “priestess”. The woman was virtually given three roles by Beecher; that of being a wife, being a priestess and being a mother. She is thus portrayed as a being of service to others educating the children within the family and inspiring the husband. According to Robert Graves, women are ...

Discussion Question #1

The recent trend of making the news more entertaining only serves to dilute the importance and relevance of the actual important news stories. The peppering of puff pieces with real news detracts from the impact when a real news story hits. More time is spent on human interest stories than the actual news sometimes, and therefore people will pay more attention to that. The role of news to educate viewers can get sabotaged by the need to keep people feeling better and entertained. While the news may be seen as ‘sad,’ there is no need to force happy stories down ...
