Taoism In Star Trek: Action Versus Inaction
Number of words: 637 - Number of pages: 3

.... the key to salvation. Ryker's statement was based on a physical world; the Tao goes beyond action or inaction of a physical sense. The Tao Te Ching states, "the Master does nothing, yet leaves nothing undone."(pg. 38) The Master does not rely on the world of the senses to decide her action. Everything the crew of the enterprise tried to do was based on overpowering the trap. "More energy, faster adjustments. But that's exactly what we can't do because that's what we're supposed to do."(Star Trek La Forge) All of the attempts to overcome the trap were based on .....


MTV And The Madonna Phenomenon
Number of words: 2157 - Number of pages: 8

.... seen in both Kaplan's as well as in John Fiske's article on British Cultural Studies. In order to properly explain how the “Madonna Phenomenon” has become such an important concept in media studies, one must look first at how influential MTV (music television) has become in the last decade. MTV addresses the “desires, fantasies, and anxieties” of young people(Kaplan 270) who have, like myself, grown up in a decade when all the traditional institutions and theories that were always respected, are being questioned. It has become the center of discussions of many .....


“The Devil’s Own”
Number of words: 478 - Number of pages: 2

.... While the film does not directly address this issue, it is understood that the people of Northern Ireland have the right to elect its representative to the British Parliament. However, the British Government maintains its authority on which political parties are allowed to run for election during the period when the movie took place. The British government also does not allow the territory the right to vote on its own sovereignty. The British government official depicted in this film is of the strong overpowering domineering type that will go to all .....


Kundun: An Analysis
Number of words: 1057 - Number of pages: 4

.... recites, "May I be the doctor and the medicine, and may I be the nurse for all sick beings in the world until everyone is healed…may I be a bridge, a boat, a ship for all those who wish to cross the water." Later in the film, the Dalai Lama says, "Wisdom and compassion will set us free." As shown through the quotations, Kundun portrays the image of the Tibetan people as religious, peaceful, loving, and compassionate. However, the film delineates the Chinese as cruel, uncompassionate oppressors. For example, Chairman Mao is depicted as a rude and heartles .....


Romeo And Juliet: Tragedy Of A Family Or A City?
Number of words: 252 - Number of pages: 1

.... is one way or another involved in and responsible for what happens." I agree with this quote. In the rest of this essay you will read why. One reason why it is a tragedy of a city is because almost everyone is involved. Almost the whole city attended the party which the Capulets held. Even Romeo attended the party. Now the audience of the play knows that even the city's citizens are involved. The next reason is when Benvolio and Tybalt exchange insults. At first they just argue. Then within a blink of an eye, you see masses of people fighting. People come from all sides. To me, it looked a .....

Number of words: 1199 - Number of pages: 5

.... them on younger strengths while we Unburdened crawl toward death.(Act I, Sc i, Ln 37-41) This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to relinquish his throne.

Titanic: The Rich And The Poor
Number of words: 1386 - Number of pages: 6

.... walls, beautiful carpet, extravagant furniture, and windows with blinds and drapes. The rooms the poor stayed in were very small rooms with no pictures on the gray wall and no furniture except a bunk bed, of which whomever slept on top had to be careful to not bump his head on the ceiling. The poor weren’t even sure who their roommate would be until they boarded the boat and found their room. The director did show us that we shouldn’t classify people as “rich” or “poor”. Rose, one of the main characters in the story, was from a very wealthy family. She was engag .....


"Fire From Heaven", "Much Ado About Nothing", And "The Flea": Sinful Acts
Number of words: 1417 - Number of pages: 6

.... upon his work. His views of sexual misconduct between married men and women being worse than that between unmarried people probably come from his growing up in a more modern world. The Puritans probably did distinguish some, but it wasn't very prominent or apparent. His makes this point clear in the passage, "Misbehavior among married people was especially serious, as it was likely to disrupt existing families, which were of course regarded as the essential foundations of any ordered, virtuous society(p.66)." The Puritan influence is very prominent in e .....
