The film, 300, which was based on a graphic novel written by Miller and Lynn tells the story of the legendary King Leonidas of Sparta and how his 300 men courageously defended the pass of Thermopylae from the invading Persian army (Miller & Lynn). The film, however, was highly sensationalized.

Abstract

There has been a very big difference between alternative medicine and modern conventional medicine in terms of use, diagnosis treatment and most of all promotion. Alternative medicine has been disadvantaged over the years with lack of promotion because of its basis on beliefs and indigenous knowledge rather than evidence and proof. For this reason, most of its products have been operating in the black market with major implications on conservation of animals such as rhinos and elephants because of rampant poaching activities. However, in the recent past promotion has increased because it is cheaper and readily accessible. Also there has ...

It is such an expensive food. I wonder where these monkeys are sourced from and how they ...

For example, rhinoceros, tiger, and elephant body parts are in such high demand, their population levels are being decimated. So why is there such a high demand for these animals?

These two photographs show rhinos in their habitat. To understand such pictures, one needs to apply different levels of understanding an image. One of the levels is denotation. Denotation is a word describing an image in its meaning concept, idea or object (Rozakis 14). From the above photographs, the denotation is the wildlife.
