The Golden Shield Project, colloquially known as the “Great Firewall of China”, is the Chinese government’s Internet surveillance and censorship campaign. OpenNet Initiative, a professional collaboration between the Cambridge Security Program, University of Toronto Citizen Lab, and Harvard Law School, declared the Firewall to be the most sophisticated content-filtering intranet regime in the world (Punyakumpol).

The great firewall of China is a manifestation of the oppressive regime that denies the Chinese people their basic rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The recent action taken by Google to leave China is a move in the right direction. However, Google, like other U.S firms in China, played a deceitful role in abetting the injustice perpetrated by the Chinese government. Google as a company enjoyed the rights guaranteed by the U.S constitution, while they helped an oppressive regime deny

along its edge and the circular decoration around the inside of the shield are meticulously done. Additionally, the shadow created with the change in hue, saturation, and value on the inside of the shield help create the depth and curvature of the shield. The body armor also implements a well-crafted mixture of shadows and smooth curved lines as well as color change to create depth. Had this not been so craftily accomplished, the shield would have taken on a flat and dull appearance. This is true for

Our government is formed to protect us and to provide every citizen, infrastructure in order to make the person able to live. However our governments also care for themselves as well. They want to stay in power thus they have to protect their reputation. This is where internet censorship steps in. Although censoring some sites is reasonable
The Golden Age of Comics was perhaps the greatest era in comic book history. Many people loved the comics during this time period because they were all stories about good triumphing over evil. Many of these stories reflected over historical events over the time period. “Pro-American characters were popular due to the time period occuring mostly during World War II.” (PBS) “The precise era of the Golden Age is disputed, though most agree that it was born with the launch of Superman in 1938.” (PBS)

Liam Connelly Final Project Golden Age of Greece Thermopylae and the 5,200: an Analysis of Creative License in Film There is perhaps no last stand than the famous 300 Spartans at Thermopylae who held the massive Persian army for three days in a narrow mountain pass, nearly two and a half millennia ago. When the movie 300 premiered, I was beginning to appreciate military history and I found the story of these hopelessly outnumbered Greek patriots absolutely riveting. I had known that more than a

pulling. My experience with the senior project was great. I enjoyed helping my mentor Mrs. Hope Price. She is a very amazing mentor.

He loves to rush into battle in gold plated armor, a spear or sword, and a shield mainly against the goddess Athena. Although Ares is a god, he is far from invincible. He is easily portrayed as a villain in many fictive books and movies. Ares’ background, myths, and strengths and weaknesses make him an interesting Greek god. Ares’s
Both Eliade and Freud look to the history of religion in order to formulate their theories. However, Freud’s is markedly different in that it does not compare religions as equal across time, it follows a course of progression. His focus of interest, his aim, is the pursuit of a natural explanation for religion. He believes that religion has undergone an evolutionary process originating from animism, through to polytheism, and finally to monotheism (Freud FOAI DATE). In this sense, Freud is proposing

The catastrophe that destroyed their society and made it a "wasted country"(6) is unclear, however, it is clear that the home the man once knew is gone forever, and because the son has never known another world, the father intensifies his efforts to provide for, and present his son goodness.
