    For so long man went to fight in wars, We've come a long way and many things are still new to us but I believe we have to have an open mine too when it comes to others that are different then the majority. I believe that this is something that will pass with time. Like the integration of African-Americans in the US military. At the time it was a big deal but now after so many years it has just became a normal aspect of the military. As Americans I think it’s hard for us to accepted change sometimes when it has to do with our…

    Evoked by the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992, the Bosnian War is a clear representation of ethnic conflict gone horribly wrong. Spanning from 1992 to 1995, it demonstrated on of the worst displays of mass ethnic cleansing in Europe since World War II. Mainly perpetrated against Bosniaks by the Serbs, the Bosnian War left the country of Bosnia in ruins and left millions displaced and thousands killed. John Moore’s Behind Enemy Lines portrays the final days of the war as an American navigator attempts to get out of dangerous enemy territory. Due to the fact that this film focuses on the experiences of US soldiers and that slight differences are made between this movie and the historical event, the connections between the two are not always very…

    Instinct, something we all have, is necessary for survival. If we did not have instinct, we wouldn’t have learned anything and wouldn’t know what to do if there ever was a crisis. “I’ll give him a trail to follow…” (Connell, 11). As he was being hunted Rainsford’s, the protagonist from “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, primary instinct was to trick General Zaroff, the antagonist who hunts humans, and this instinct saved his life. “...dad’s star might have moved further… playing a solo…” (Dominey, 235). Tatum, the main character in Audition and Subtraction by Amy Fellner Dominy, learned from past experience that playing her instrument cheered her up. When her parents got a divorce, she used this instinct to her advantage and threw herself into her music by playing a solo for district honor band auditions. In the article “Surviving Hurricane Sandy” ,by Lauren Tarshis, “[Ariel Creamer] created a program called Survivor’s Silver Lining… helped numerous kids…” (17). Her instinct was to take her good fortune of surviving and give back to her community. All these people above had used their instinct to their advantage in order to survive, much as you will or have done in times of crisis.…

    There are many parallels that can be found between Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Both follow respected men who go against authority and majority opinion to save the lives of the people around them. These productions are iconic in their field, but it is not because of their story but because of their message: Tyranny of the Majority and Dangers of Ignorance. In An Enemy of the People there is pollution in the water, in Jaws, Spielberg chooses to poison the water with sharks. Before the realization of the poisons in the water, both of their jobs had been relatively calm and nothing tragic had happened in either towns. In both of these works there is political satire that caused the immediate hatred of both productions, now they are regarded as ingenious pieces…

    Since the beginning of days, the fight between the goodness and hatred, bravery and cowardice, and benevolence and evil has always existed. The frivolity of evil written by Theodore Dalrymple argues about the existence of evil among us, questions the reasons of its flourish and the reason why we commit evil. He begins his article by informing his audience of his career as a physician in a prison’s hospital where he treated several criminals. He also expressed his passion of treating the poor people because, according to him, treating the poor is more compelling and florid. Dalrymple then expresses the presence of different evil acts he witnessed at his work and in several countries all over the world.…

    The studies of this chapter represent Said’s assertion in that they demonstrate most modern cultures in their typical conflicts with each other. One of the main reasons that groups have fought over time has been simply due to their inability to recognize that their differences open up the possibility for growth rather than simply just cause for fighting. The conflict between the Jews and Arabs is a prominent representation of this concept because of their past prejudices; Jews and Arabs have had very conflicting views in history and thus there was lots of confrontation. In another example, the genocide in Kosovo was a result of Serbians disliking the Muslim religion and resulted in a mass “ethnic cleansing” in their attempts to separate from the different culture. With a more thorough understanding of the differences in their cultures and a clearer interpretation of their ideas, there would likely have been less of a conflict between the cultures.…

    “Between Me and You” a book created by Ta-Nehisi Coates describes how tough it is being an African American man in America. The book which I read a couple of months ago showed how hard it is not to be targeted and judged in society if a person is of color. Coates mentioned how the rise of police brutality scares him on a daily basis for his African American son who is able to see these attacks on the black community through different outlets. Due to the use of social media, cellphones, video cameras and more we are able to see the destruction of minority communities. Though, the use of excessive force and police brutality happened years ago, now we are able to see blatant racism right before our eyes. The killings of Corey Jones, Tamir Rice,…

    As a college student bad writing is no stranger to me. On my journey to become a great writer I have made many mistakes and you should as well. No Author writes a perfect story the first time, It takes a great deal of revision and hours of word choice to make sure the reader comprehends what is intended to be narrated. This can be very difficult and has been for me as a young writer. George Orwell talks about many different examples of bad writing and what makes this writing so bad such as complex writing and how it is very easy to write but makes it extremely difficult for readers to comprehend. There are four major questions that Orwell asks himself when reading text from other writers as well as his own.…

    People are always going to find a way to classify and group other people together there is no way to control that. What can be controlled is the response people have to theses classifications and treating people unequally because of this grouping. What you can take away from this enlightenment is up to you, but the general trend seems to be that new and "strange" cultures tend to take a lot of abuse until they can find a way to meld their culture into another. Once they have proven they possess something valuable to offer and contribute to another culture, only then will they begin to be treated as…

After Zaroff explains that he also enjoys hunting, he also reveals that he has discovered a new, more dangerous animal to hunt: humans. Zaroff forces Rainsford to become the hunted in order to win his freedom and return to the mainland. Connell’s central idea suggests that instinct does not always yield to reason.…
