American Sniper is the movie that I chose to analyze because it is full of moral and ethical decisions that have to be made.

From the genre's inception, advanced 3D or pseudo-3D graphics have challenged hardware development, and multiplayer gaming has been integral. After masses of video game evolution, along came the call of duty series.

“Man O’ War was the kind of thoroughbred that brought you closer to divinity than most people had been before.” This quote by an unknown describes Man O’ War well; “Man O’ War was America’s legendary thoroughbred race-horse” (“Man O’ War 1917-1947”) and was the type of horse that taught his rider, the people around him, and the entire world that if you keep pushing you can reach any and all goals. Man O’ War was a loving horse that made many feel as if they were getting closer to God. To most people, Man O’ War was a work of art that was brought down to them straight from God because he was perfect; he was a gorgeous stallion that seemed to most as unbeatable. Man O’ War raced his heart out and dominated every race he was in, even the one race he lost. Man O’ War was an important figure in the 1920s American history because he changed the perspective of horse racing forever.

The people of the country we are engaging in conflict with are normally the ones who suffer from militarism. The military families who soldiers paid the ultimate price and the spouses who are left alone with their kids also suffer. Justification is hard to do when individuals are dying our country is losing money, for a war that isn’t solving anything. Sports gain great benefits from militarization.

I was really blown away by the movie War Room, it is all about prayer and the power of prayer. It opened my eyes to the dimensions of prayer and the value of prayer.
