Abstract

There have been times during which humans have been up against each other. Humans are known to be competitive with each other, a fact that is both advantageous and disadvantageous. An advantage of the fact is that, in terms of economy, the competitive nature of human beings has helped countries move forward and be able to offer their citizens with all that they need. It, however, becomes a disadvantage when greed sets in. There are times when some people feel that they are not complete when they are not ahead of others. This is in most cases reflected in Continue reading...

The Bubonic Plague was arguably one of the most historically tragic and monumental times in human history. It managed to change everything we understand about ourselves physically while changing the social and cultural landscape around it.

In the wake of falsified research that left the world believing vaccinations caused autism, some parents still believe vaccinations are bad. This belief Continue reading...

In Susan Hayward’s summary of David Bordwell in “Classical Hollywood Cinema,” the author relates how the dominant ideology of American culture in the 1930s and 1940s was often conveyed in the films of the era.

One of the most fascinating and unique aspects of French films is their essential “Frenchness” – the way in which the plot, characters and storytelling evince particular aspects of French culture. Many times, French films find their appeal in being uniquely ‘French,’ having meanings that are of particular importance to the French people. In spite of this, many important and popular French films carry with them a universality of meaning that spans cultures. In the case of the French films La Grande Vadrouille and La Cage Aux Folles, the setting of the story within French culture and locations allows the Continue reading...
