The tale of young tribute Katniss Everdeen, who is forced into a state-sanctioned spectator sport where she must kill her fellow teenagers for the entertainment of the Capitol, is given a bleak and stylized look, fleshing out the world of the film while often shying away from real violence and issues where it counts. The sense of isolation that the protagonist feels is not unlike Foucaultian Panopticonism: Foucault came up with the idea of the ...

As a result, this leads to a cleaner environment and cheaper food stuff for the people. However, the main debatable question on this topic is, how safe are ...

Although technology has changed the world for the better, nonetheless, the technology of using corn as a fuel or source of energy, an alternative for oil, has been an ongoing debate during the last few years.

The truth is that using corn as fuel has greater consequences than the pollution from gasoline used in cars. Therefore, corn, food for humans, should not be used as an alternative for oil.
Many people in industrialized countries believe that ethanol ...
