In Sophocles’ Antigone, the two characters of Creon and Antigone represent unreflective and polarising moments of Greek life, highlighting the conflict and divide between male and female, and “polis” and “Oikos”. Throughout the drama, Creon displays a near-existential fear of female transgression. He first introduces the theme of a male-female conflict when he says. Indeed, now I am no man, but she is a man if she is to enjoy such power as this with impunity. By debating in the...

Disney Princess movies are not as safe as we previously thought. We are unintentionally damaging our kids by subtly enforcing social stereotypes. This is done by using classic story tropes like the handsome knight saving the pretty, helpless princess. Along with that, it can make girls self-conscious about their bodies. This is due to all the pretty princesses all sharing the same physical qualities. This usually means being tall, thin, and pale. Disney has seemed to notice and has received...

Ethics is a concern of humans who have freedom of choice. At the early ages of its emergence, the Internet only became the platform to search for information and to communicate with each other’s.

Before this class, I believed that the 'real world' meant the real experiences that people of color face in the United States. I think the 'real world' that I see is that many Americans are fighting for freedom, racism is still going on, and inequality between genders. I also think America allows citizens to have the opportunity to find their American Dream. Like for example, economic opportunities give people to invest in their own education. There are a lot of...

Regulation of social media is a new frontier that invites criticism and yet is worthy of exploration even in a country as free as the United States. The statistics on social media usage (Hou, et al, 2019) indicate that nearly every single teenager and young adult has at least one social media account. These individuals get exposed to a greater amount of various information sources than previous generations ever experienced. The most obvious threat in social media communication is criminal...

What are the Odds? What happens when coincidences occur that seem too incredible to be true? Coincidences are defined as, “a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.” These coincidences are considered to be random and meaningless events that happen in our lives; they don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Paulo Coelho, however, shows in The Alchemist that some of the coincidences that occur during a shepherd’s quest to find “treasure” are connected not only...

Sounds good right? What if I told you that those eggs came from chickens locked up in cages as small as an A4 piece of paper?

Violence changes your social power in society. Once Coretta Scott King said that ‘Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear, and violence.’ It wrecks and shortens lives, causes suffering and pain, and it’s often part of rapid social change. Some people use violence for revenge, and some (as a way to release their pain) achieve what they want. I chose the movie Joker to answer my essay question because this movie and how director Todd Philips represented...

The impoverished tend to face many injustices. For example, a tenant could be charged outrageous rates for their rent compared to what they are living in or punished and evicted for simple accidents that occur during their stay on their landlord’s property. The tenants typically do not complain that they are being mistreated since they don’t have many options on where they can live. An example of this is told in one of the stories in “Evicted” by Matthew Desmond:...

What if you are traveling overnight by train during the time we are switching our clocks back an hour? You will probably be stuck in a train station an hour longer than you expected. Amtrak trains have a scheduled time to run by, so in October when we change the clocks back by one hour, all trains stop at 2:00 am and wait for the hour before they resume their scheduled trips. Come March’s time change, they will probably be...

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Anthem. It’s a game I have so much fun controlling, shooting and just playing. Its gameplay foundation is entertaining and the controls feel polished but for just about everything I like about this game, there’s something wrong with it. It’s but another game as a service title that charges full price for admission, adds on microtransactions, and arrives lacking stability that matches all these various price tags. Perhaps the weakest part of...

I wanted to research how our sense of humor is developed and why it varies from human to human, the neurobiology of a “humorous” person, and the benefits of humor. Humor is the playful use of incongruity or alternative interpretations, a behavior that makes others smile, laugh,...

Jonathan Harnisch, a schizophrenic author, once stated that “The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.” Harnisch redefines strength as one’s capability to remain mentally strong, and he emphasizes people’s tendency to overlook the internal struggles of others. Society has failed to deem the inner battle as a bigger obstacle than the more obvious physical battles one fights, resulting in...

Baudrillard grapples with this in his theoretical writings. It is in this world that “images, signs, and codes engulf objective reality; signs become more real than reality and stand in for the world they erase” (Wilcox, 346- 47). This pseudo-world of simulacra and the perceived loss of the real in DeLillo’s novels obstruct his characters’ search for themselves. DeLillo’s communication is a kind of haphazard game, and language is the playing field on which opposing forces clash--harmony and chaos, rules...
