These were the starting points of this revolution, because of Martin Luther King Jr. He changed the perspective of how African Americans should view Caucasian people, rather than be angry with them, they should feel forgiveness. That was the start of a new perspective. From watching the film and exploring the website, I have...

...he dies, such as the darkening of the sky during mid day when Jesus was on the cross, or the earthquake that split the curtain in the temple. There are many studies on these verses cross referencing other historical documents that further prove that what was prophesied came true. To a believing christian it is not too hard to believe that what God wrote into the Bible is true and that a prophecy that he told David to write down would become true, He is all-knowing. But to someone who doubts that God even exists this can sound like complete bologna written into a religion to make Jesus look all the more real (which he was very real ). Now discussing it in more detail than before, In the beginning of Book 22 David writes “My God, My God, Why have You forsaken me?”, these were the exact words spoken by Jesu when he was hanging on the cross when he was crucified. Now Jesus spoke these to God because God had forsaken him, for the first time Jesus was completely apart from God, God could not be with him because of the sin Jesus had taken upon himself. Some may argue that he simply spoke the words to make it seem like he was fulfilling the prophecy in Psalm 22, but what happened while he was hanging on the cross around him was also prophesied, and there was no way it was just by chance that it happened when it did. In Psalm 22 it tells of the darkness that covers the Earth after noon when Jesus hangs on the cross, this is confirmed in Matthew 27 in the new testament. When Jesus...

...time of Adam and Eve’s sin: 1) The serpent would bruise the seed of the woman. Prophesied: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Gen. 3:15). Fulfilled: “ ‘Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all to Myself.’ But He said this to signify by what death He was about to die” (John 12:31-33). 2) The Messiah would be cut off, but not for Himself, as prophesied by Daniel. Prophesied: “And after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off but not for Himself” (Dan. 9:26). Fulfilled: “ ‘Nor consider that it is better for us that one man die for the people, than that the whole nation should perish.’ Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation; and not for the nation only, but also that He might gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad” (John 11:50- 52). 3) The betrayal of Jesus by Judas was foretold by David. Prophesied: “Even a man, my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me” (Psa. 41:9). Fulfilled: “Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order that he might deliver Him up to them. And after hearing this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray Him” (Mark...

...Regardless of her skill, Arachne’s mockery and disrespect towards Minerva and the other gods could not go unpunished. To allow her to live freely without retribution would lessen the respect and power the gods command. Without making an example of her, people would believe that the gods are not so powerful at all and would lead to more and more people disrespecting and mocking them. Arachne’s impertinence towards Minerva and her disrespect of the other gods caused Minerva to turn her into a spider. Similarly, the story of Niobe presents hubris as a negative emotion. Niobe is the queen of Thebes and is extremely prideful of both her ancestry and her children. Ovid states that “[Niobe’s] pride had many sources, but...none of these gave her such pleasure...as did her progeny. All would have hailed her as the most fortunate of mothers had she not gotten there ahead of them.” Later, Niobe tells some Theban women My lineage is highly worshipful: only one man has ever been permitted to lie among the gods at their high table: my father, Tantalus. And Dione, my mother, is a sister of the famous Pleiades; my grandfather on her side is mighty Atlas, who bears heaven’s weight upon his shoulders; and on my father’s side, why my grandfather is Jupiter...

...Dontavia Zeno English 1157-002 Past the Scalpel Nora Steiger 05/01/2014 Dr. Joshua Landes is a board certified general surgeon, who received his premedical and medical education at Brown University. He completed his residency at Tulane University School of Medicine, and is a member of the American College of Surgeons. He now works as one of two general surgeons for the Hamilton Medical Group in Lafayette, Louisiana; which is where our first interview took place. I remember sitting in his office waiting for him to come in, and staring at a coat rack located in the corner. It held only two white lap coats, which looked as if they hadn’t been worn for some time; there were no rumples or creases out of place, and as crisp and wrinkle–free as they were, you could assume they came straight from the dry cleaners. It also held a green scrub cap that was obviously worn quite often, which actually looked slightly yellow due to it being washed so many times. Directly across from the coat rack stood a bookshelf filled with books that all contained the word “surgery” in its titles. The books were triple the size of a holy bible, and weighed so much that the shelves bent downward, like a meniscus in a graduated cylinder. When he walked in I noticed he wasn’t wearing a white lab coat, so I asked him about it. “I don’t need a lab coat to remind me that I’m a physician,” he said as he smiled and took a seat behind his desk. That’s when I realized my hypothesis of who I thought...

...different cultures, beliefs, and appearances. Racism has been a part of society for a pretty long time. Racism occurs because one person or group may not like another race. Thus, people harass and hurt each other whether physically, emotionally, or mentally. Racism can be seen in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Bodega Dreams by Ernesto Quinonez, where in both books whites are portrayed to be superior then the rest. For example in the 1920’s the whites thought that they were the superior race. Till today many different races look down on each other. Quinonez 2000 novel Bodega Dreams shows us how our race could determine how we are treated in society. The novel talks about the real life of Spanish Harlem neighborhoods. The Great Gatsby was a story told by Nick...

...Prestige (2006) Christopher Nolan The Prestige is a movie that shows the rivalry between magicians Alfred “The Professor” Borden and Robert “The Great Danton” Angier. Their struggle is expressed through class warfare: Borden as The Professor, a working-class magician who gets his hands dirty, versus Angier as The Great Danton, a classy, superior showman whose accent makes him appear American. Obsession, secrecy, and sacrifice increase the battle, as both magicians contribute their fair share to a deadly duel of one-upmanship, with disastrous results. One influential scene when discussing these themes is the scene where we are in Alfred Borden’s prison cell back in the present day, Borden comes to the end of Angier's diary, which gloats that Borden is being blamed for his “death”, until he's called out of his cell to say goodbye to Jess, his daughter, and meet the collector who wants to buy his secrets. The director, Christopher Nolan, sets up the scene with several different camera shots and narratives to give this scene its importance. It is the final climax of the movie for Borden and if you look closely at the scene the camera shot used to reveal the collector and what he signifies highlights the importance of the scene and also the collector ripping up Borden’s secret to his trick. The biggest twist to the movie and this scene is which epitomizes the themes is when we discover who the collector is in the jailhouse where Borden is being kept and what he signifies...

...Leadership Point of View To be a good leader you must first know of to follow. My first job was at McDonald’s when I was 15; I have to say the greatest influences in my life came from my time at McDonald’s. Two managers come to mind Marilyn Smith and Ambrose King. Ambrose was the store manager, and the leader he believed in treating every employee with the same respect, and dignity he expected to receive. He never acted as if he was better than anyone else or that there was anything he was too good to do. He would never ask you to do something he would not or had not done, for example cleaning up after an ill customer. He taught me that a true leader is humble, patient, and kind. He was the type of leader who did not need to ask for or command respect it was given willingly because he earned it. Marilyn was the first African American woman in my life at that time that had accomplished something. She was the assistant store manager, and she was hard working dependable, confident, and well respected behind her back, and in her face. Good managers need certain skills to manage, conceptual, interpersonal, technical, and political (Robert Katz 1974, p. 901-902). I may not have known it at that time, but I know now that it is a rare thing to find all these skills in the same manager, and Marilyn had them all. The most important thing I learned from her is to have confidence in my abilities and others will see it, do the work and, learn the job inside and out. The one event or time...

...of living for many but there is just no substitute for some of the old ways. Hypnosis is a way for the mind and the body to get in sync and for a person to get deep inside of their subconscious to get to the root of the problem. It has come under fire because of a select few but has some real benefits to it. It is a technique that has been used to help people for many generations and needs to be looked at today by more people as an alternative method of healing and as a companion to traditional healing. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation where a person is able get rid of distractions and get to the place in their mind where habits are formed, where fears come from, and where dark memories wait to be brought to the surface. It is not what you see in the movies and not what most people make it out to be. No one will ever waive a watch in front of your face and say, "you are getting sleepy." You are in complete control of yourself the entire time and the hypnotist is there to guide you into deep relaxation. They cannot make you do something that you don't want to do or disclose something that you do not want to. When people hear the word hypnotist they think of a stage show where someone runs around thinking they are a chicken or when they hear a bell they feel like they are a baby again. The media has put a spin on hypnosis like it is only an entertainment thing but the fact is that when you are in a state of hypnosis, with the right practitioner you can get more out of it...

...The Cask of Amontillado THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong. It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation. He had a weak point -- this Fortunato -- although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. Few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity, to practise imposture upon the British and Austrian millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack, but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not differ from him materially; --I was skilful in the Italian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could. It was about dusk, one evening...

...Rich People: disadvantaged, annoyed, and bitterness When I think of rich people, I feel that there should not be rich people since the majority of people in the United States are living below poverty. I feel disadvantaged, because I work hard every day and can barely make ends meet; however, the rich are consumed with greed and their extravagant lifestyles. I am easily annoyed with the rich, because they are not genuine and are experts at faking their feelings. Bitterness overtakes me when I think about how the rich gloat over attention and waste dollars to be on top of the well known. I think that all rich people are spoiled to some degree, have never missed a meal, or had their electric cut off. My attitude towards rich people is that they are wasteful and will do whatever it takes to be on top of the world. Although, they have wealth, they would not hesitate to covet the wealth of others. Some rich people are deserving of their fortune because they have worked hard and occasionally give to the less fortunate. On the other hand, most rich people inherit their fortune and don’t appreciate it - that makes me angry. When they attend social events, they like to be seen and heard “showoff”. From my personal experience, I grew up in a poor family, where we relied on government assistance to provide the basic necessities, such as, food, clothing, and housing. Often times, we did not have enough money to eat and our electric was disconnected on several occasions. I learned...

...PCD vs. Muslim Culture One thing America prides itself on is the freedom it allows its citizens, men and women; the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of choice—the freedom to live. As we have learned through media and even through school, there are cultures that don’t allow the same freedom and opportunity. In my project, I want to discuss gender roles, sexuality and the ways it could affect an individual’s life. In this specific video that I chose, these women are overtly sexy, they appear confident and their words are not words that an oppressive man would approve of, I’m sure. I don’t believe that these ladies are in full control of their actions on stage or their look; I want to see what affects the performance could have on not only American viewers, but Muslim viewers, as well as the performers, themselves. The Pussycat Dolls famous record “Don’t Cha” includes words that could be considered all kinds of things; they could definitely be considered unladylike if put in the wrong hands. In today’s society, women have a different kind of power that some cultures- -and simply some men- -are not accustomed to. “Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? Don't cha? Don't cha? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me? Don't cha? Don't cha?” (Pussycat Dolls) How many guys really like a woman that is that direct and forward? I am fully aware that this...
