“Danger is real, but fear is a choice.” As intriguing and captivating as this catch phrase sounds, the film as a whole may not fit that classification. While M. Night Shyamalan’s After Earth (2013) is ineffective in reaching some of its audiences as anticipated, others seem to have enjoyed the movie thoroughly. The film opens with a promising story where humans are forced to escape a polluted Earth inhabited by an alien race that is trained to exterminate them and retreat to Nova Prime, a new home
In the early seventies and into the early eighties there was a storied and sometimes highly controversial television series called “M.A.S.H” which stood for “Mobile Army Surgical Hospital”. The series was a follow on to the wildly successful movie by the same name. In both cases the story revolved around a group of Doctors and Nurses and supporting cast who operated a forward field hospital in Korea during the Korean War, the 4077 MASH. The characters were lovable, laughable, affable and endearing

In a hunt for the murderer the police as well as the organized criminal underground of this German city search rapidly for the killer of these innocent children.

dependency on technology, and a weakened sense of humanity. A key component of human relationships is communication. The impact cell phones have had on communication consists of facilitating a sense of disconnection amongst human interactions. In E. M. Foster’s The Machine Stops, a dystopia is presented as completely dependent upon a technological artifact. The main characters that Foster follows are Vashti and her son, Kuno. Vashti believes in the machine as Kuno rebels against it. In The Machine
From the moment I starting my educational path I knew four years wouldn’t be enough to fill me with all the dimensions of the fashion industry. This led me to make my decision to apply for the M.S. Global Fashion Enterprise degree. When asked how this program at Philadelphia University would benefit me, I will begin by giving a background on my previous education. I started my undergraduate degree at Buffalo State College in upstate New York pursuing a Bachelor degree in Fashion Merchandising.
discuss Alice’s goals in light of the S.M.A.R.T. planning model. Alice's goals are to pay off her student loan, buy a house and save for her children’s education, accumulate assets, retire and travel around the world in a sailboat. The first acronym “S” means Specific. All of Alice’s goals are specific because they are clearly defined except one, which is her goal to accumulate assets. Accumulation of assets qualifies an ambition to amass
Disaster Similarities. The sinking of the R.M.S. Lusitania and the Haiti earthquakes of 2010 are not similar in either type of disaster or the number of resulting victims, but they do share some similarities. Neither the passengers aboard the Lusitania nor the people of Haiti had anywhere to go to escape the impending devastation. Both disasters exposed the individuals involved directly to life threatening danger. Following the explosions on the ship and the earthquake in Haiti, survivors witnessed
Psychotherapists have grappled with the concept of sexual sadism and masochism for decades. In his early writings, Freud (1924) described sadomasochistic (SM) practice as a means of attaining pleasure through the administration or attainment of pain. He acknowledged that SM behavior contradicted his theories on human instincts and the pleasure principle, and ultimately attributed the behavior to the interaction of flawed aggressive instincts, unconscious Oedipal guilt, and the enigmatic death drive
user friendly operating systems, computers were run using the operating system CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers). The program itself looked simple, but the complexity of its use meant that not many fully understood how to use it. As the program was also limited in use, since it was designed for 8-bit systems, a new operating system was needed when 16-bit IBM systems came out. IBM tried to purchase CP/M from its inventor Gary Kildall, but he proved to be elusive and refused to sell. IBM
the psychological inclination towards Asian woman that has been expressed by a portion of the male population. This stereotype is a part of orientalism that continues to be discussed amongst today’s society; it is deemed odd or labeled as a fetish. M. Butterfly a Tony Award playwright written by David Henry Hwang consists of ideas related to orientalism through the layers developed in gender identity, global politics and art forms. The play begins in the present 1988 with Rene Gallimard sitting
An article titled “Baby M and the Question of Surrogate Motherhood,” discusses the oldest court case involving surrogacy. In this case, the surrogate mother, Mary Beth Whitehead, decided that she did not want to give away the baby she had carried the past nine months. The couple that had hired Whitehead as a surrogate went to court to get their baby back and their case prevailed. The author of the article, Clyde Haberman seems to be unbiased and takes no stance on the issue. He does however bring
Surrogate Pregnancy and 1984 Surrogate pregnancy was talked about and questioned in the early 1970’s but was not put into practice until 1976. The first case documented actually comes from the bible. It was the story of Abraham and Sarah. Sarah talks about her experience with infertility. She then turns to Hagar, her handmaiden, and asks her if she would carry their child for them since she was unable to. Hagar was their maid so in a way it was a command, not exactly a favor or question. The first
exhibitionists who clustered around Andy Warhol in the 1960's and 70's perhaps the scariest was Brigid Berlin, a chubby, motormouthed rebel from an upper-crust New York City family who relished the way her "underground" celebrity embarrassed her proper conservative parents. Her father, Richard Berlin, a friend of Richard M. Nixon and an admirer of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, ran the Hearst Corporation, which he had helped save from bankruptcy in the 40's. Her mother, Honey, was an elegant, ladies-who-lunch-style

Conversely, my two significant instances are, Woodward and Bernstein’s actions on their process of contacting the sources that were involved because they worked for

Up until the past year or so I was sure that I was going to pursue the path of Family Law once I became an attorney. As a result, I spent a great deal of my time reading over the Maine Revised Statutes to get a better understanding as to what a Family Law attorney would deal with day in and day out. While reading, I immediately became very interested in 19-A M.R.S. §1803; I was unaware that such a law existed, and I was quite surprised that it was in existence. After spending a considerable amount
The passion I have chosen to do my project on is music because I feel that I am most passionate about band. I also believe that not enough people play a musical instrument. In my project, I will start an instrument drive and collect instruments from people that do not use them. Then, I will give the instruments to schools that do not have a big music program. With my project, it will be hard to get people to donate their instruments that they don’t use and it will be hard to find a school to donate
