The earliest known form of writing was the Sumerian language. The Kish tablet is the oldest extant document from that time period with writing on it, but the largest early collection of Sumerian writings were found at Jemdet Nasr. Writing developed as a set of logographic signs that later were changed into a logosyllabic script that had a few hundred signs; researchers found 468 different signs used in documents found at Sumerian Lagash.

Anthropologists were able to decipher the Sumerian from Akkadian glossaries, ...

Analysis of John Stossel video: Free Market Medicine

Abstract

John Stossel argues that free market medical care is the solution to America’s healthcare.

One of the greatest problems that historians attempting to decode Jesus’ life have is that there is very little evidence. There are no sources from Jesus’ time (Public Broadcasting Service 3:00), so they have to go on interpretations of others. Nevertheless, these different layers do not always align, and are often contradictory. In addition, Jesus was a poor and rather historically commonplace person, so it was only years after his death that there were important records of his life made. This often amounts to second hand accounts, which are obviously not as reliable as first hand ones.

Reflection Paper:

Reflection Paper:
The pull of fiction when interspersed with even a small amount of reality is very often enough to engage the attention of a mass audience in regards to almost any subject. In catering to what people consider to be “true” and “factual” filmmakers tend to take great license with facts and how they wish to entertain their audiences. Not everything that is pushed upon the masses is popular for its views or the manner in which it is presented, but when matters are confronted that can cause people to feel and experience emotions in an unforeseen manner ...

1. The fundamental idea of the documentary film "Through a Blue Lens" is to send a powerful message and raise awareness of risks and dangers of drug abuse and, consequently, to prevent people from abusing drugs and similar substances. The first example supporting this hypothesis is the scene in the beginning of the film where a police demonstrates consequences of drug abuse to a class of young students. Another example is that the film incorporates a real footage shot of drug addicts in the Vancouver's downtown and demonstrates the facts and realia of life in the streets. The third ...

Documentary Food Inc., directed by Robert Kenner, is telling a story about food industry that is in control by huge corporations. Documentary itself is divided in several smaller portions that are connected. Every topic is well covered and explained, with appropriate witnesses and facts.

Awareness about Justice

The Video “Nelson Mandela: 1918-2013” is a tribute to Mandela by various religious comunities after his demise on December 5, 2013. The things I learnt about justice are:

- He joined African National Congress to provide justice to the Apartheid community for which he was sentenced to life prison.
- As an idol of peace that he was, ...

They argued that the individuals carrying out behavior change implementation had not done a thorough evaluation of their work. For this reason, there are many unknowns in this strategy. For instance, scholars involved have not been able to come up with a behavior change model. Such a model ...

Asian horror, as a genre, carries with it a generous mix of scathing subtext and grotesque images. Whether witnessing the wrath of an uncanny ghost girl, seeing people murdered in mountains of gore, or the many subtle avenues in between, many of the best Asian horror films combine shocking sights with potent messages in order to convey an anxiety present in that society at the time. "Setting aside the moral ramifications of such manifest extremities, we can identify the current boom enjoyed by Asian horror and extreme cinema and discern a complex nexus of local, regional and global relationships in play" (Choi ...

Deviance is a behavior that is thought to go against the common known standardized social norms which makes the behavior be disapproved by a majority of the people in the society. Norms do vary across different groups, places and even times but and therefore there is no standard way of gauging whether an act can be termed as deviant or not. In the case of Ron Kovic, an anti war activist, writer and veteran who was once a law abiding citizen, was socialized into a deviant member of society. This can be clearly seen through the movie Born on the Fourth of July.

Personal Reflection

The movie was a real eye opener for me. Until I saw it, I never really understood what happened to cause the 2008 meltdown. I never understood what the big deal was about home mortgages. All I knew then was that the U.S. and the world were in a financial crisis.

The movie made me realize how complex and complicated it all was. It was quite surprising for me to learn that the fate of the American economy – probably even that of the world – lay in the hands of a few powerful men. I was especially struck by what Timothy Geithner told ...
