    Also, this is the period when millions of the Jews were put under persecution and annihilation. However, despite all these sufferings, the American television, and the press became reluctant and largely ignored to report on these problems. Those cases that were reported were given minor headlines and headings in between other information (Lipstadt 54). This is the same thing that is realized in the video, "America and the Holocaust." This video shares information on the main events that were recognized in America during the Holocaust. And despite all these events being clearly understood by the common citizens and some of the governmental officials, there were fewer interventions that were employed in saving the population of Jews who were undergoing…

    Lastly, while my eyes were open and affixed on my monitor I watched but did not see as the video neared the end and having made my decision, I was mentally hard at work on a draft for my paper. And though my eyes were open they saw nothing, my ears on the other hand were open and paying attention. As the words Capturing Hearts bounced off my eardrums, sensory neurons wasted no time forwarding the information to millions of other neurons to my brain for processing. All thoughts of ethos came to a screeching halt as Capturing hearts processed into PATHOS loud and clear. I watched the video again, though it probably was not necessary as the answer is in the title.…

    The documentary starts off by visualizing a young man who is gay, and who grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood. Although he grew up with the white majority, he decided to attend a university with a black majority. He then brings his new black friends to his hometown to meet his hometown friends as a social experiment. Everything ends up going well and they all hangout in a positive manner, then the producer asks some personal questions between both sides of the friends, like what his hometown friends were taught with they see minorities in their town and how this hangout changed their idea of "black people". Then the producer asks what it means when someone says the word ghetto, then his friends from school explain and start to cry, because the word is offensive. This story is truly saddening, and opens the eyes of the people to understand that stereotyping and being the majority or the minority is not the way things should be, that the world should be equal, not just seeing…

    Through the eyes of five narrators, we see each stage unfold, from unclear beginnings to widespread hysteria and finally culminating in an uneasy victory. Audiences are given personal stories along with gripping facts, effectively teaching them about the discrimination faced by gay men and those infected with AIDS and the way those two types of prejudice intertwined even in the face of death and suffering. Every mark it makes for itself, the film hits, only falling short when it comes to painting a wider, less intimate picture. The documentary’s achievements in teaching about a modern tragedy and the struggles faced by those living through it make it truly powerful, and I recommend it strongly to those in need of both inspiration and…

    A war veteran speaks with his closest friend about their days in the military, reliving their long nights on the beach, shooting at the enemies, enjoying themselves while always facing victory, never touching upon the trauma that they endured. They never talk about the faces of young men that they were ordered to execute, nor do they talk about the image in their heads of a little girl, laying in the street dead, her mother next in line for a the similar fate. Both men ask themselves how they came to commit such horrible crimes, neither one grasping onto a logical reason, and their guilt following them to the grave. Ari Folman’s animated documentary Waltz with Bashir follows Folman himself, a memory-stricken war veteran who struggles to let…

    Throughout America, there has been conflicts over religion. Either it is from a simple prayer, or the one line from the Pledge of Allegiance, the country of much freedom battle to get religion right. Oklahoma’s troubled Ten Commandments statue damages the state’s constitution and must be expelled from the legislative hall, according to a new ruling from the state’s Supreme Court. As indicated by the court, the Ten Commandments is “clearly” a religious archive, and the state constitution restricts any open property from being utilized to bolster a particular religion. Yet the defenders are not going to give up so easily, “Defenders of the statue have argued that the commandments were placed on the capitol grounds as ‘historical context,’ given…

    The Hebrew Bible gives two lists of the ten commandments, one in Exodus and the second in Deuteronomy. Many of the faiths that stem from Judaism follow the guidelines given by these fundamental sets of rules, also known as the Decalogue. Despite the common origination, the Ten Commandments have been changed or molded to represent the core principles specific to religions such as Christianity. The common operation for each faith is to have a set list for the Ten Commandments. Unlike other faiths, Judaism maintains the original order for the Ten Commandments, but uses both locations in the Bible to allow a broader interpretation for each commandment. According to the Jewish tradition, the Tenth Commandment is the commandment with the most leeway for interpretation. Although Jewish and Christian interpretations of the law differ, the Tenth Commandment serves as a guide and check on desires, thought, and actions.…
