The Exorcist is a 1973 horror film, directed by William Friedkin. A potent adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel, The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who is possessed by a demon. The film caused a great deal of controversy when it was released as many people felt that the violence, blasphemy and young protagonist were inappropriate and damaging for audiences and for society. Admittedly, the film does not have the same shock value today as it did in 1973, partly because the cinematography and special affects now look dated and unrealistic, and partly because many ...

Reaction to Cartoons

I see that Thurber’s cartoons are dry and it takes a certain sort of humor to immediately appreciate them. I think that after one reads them and studies them briefly, they can still be appreciated regardless of any humor, primarily because many of them are universal in their own way. Thurber, known for showing men who overstep their boundaries in one way or another, and women who are not going to put up with it, managed to clue into this vein with the American public time and time again. One panel shows an obviously drunk man who has ...

Introduction There is plentiful evidence that America needs stronger and more comprehensive gun control laws. There have been hundreds of thousands of shooting deaths in the United States since the 1990s, when the gun control laws were supposedly strengthened. Mass shootings have been going on for years, at schools, churches, shopping malls, theatres, and other public places. These mass shootings are usually caused by high caliber firearms that pose an overt threat to public safety. There has been a documented increase in the number of women in domestic violence situations who have been shot to death in the last ...

Speech 2 Outline: Gun Control

Introduction The issue of gun control is an emotive issue that raises legal and political questions every time it is brought up. Being a sensitive issue of personal safety and security, this issue requires a sober and bipartisan approach to help come up with common sense gun control legislation that will ensure the safety of gun owners and at the same time uphold their First Amendment rights. With the recent spate of gun violence, mass shootings and gun attacks on Americans in public places, gun control debate has never been so important than it is now. Past studies reveal ...

Background

The Gender Discrimination in Criminal Justice System

Introduction Traditionally, women have not been viewed as criminals because of their less aggressive nature, making the act of crime to be mainly associated with the male gender. There are several theories brought forth to explain why the female gender would, or would not engage in crime. The theories, however, do not provide satisfactory explanations to the phenomenon leading to counterarguments. Also, the criminal justice of the United States of America has been viewed as discriminatory because it fails to address the gender needs of female offenders whose number has increased over time. This essay discusses the historical perspectives, ...

Reflection for Automotive Engines

Reflection about Reassemble short block • The first and foremost step while fitting a short block is always to insert the crankshaft.

Abstract

A rotary engine is one of the ancient internal-combustion engines ever used. These type of engines were designed with an odd number of cylinder per row in a radial configuration. The crack shaft remained stationary throughout the operation. One advantage of this kind of engine is that it is a simple engine that utilizes less moving components. On the other hand, a piston engine or a reciprocating engine is a heat engine that uses one or several reciprocating pistons. The piston engine converts pressure into a rotating motion. A piston engine has the capability to seal the gap in ...

This social movement unites people with different points of view on the relationship between humans and animals. Maximalist approach adherents believe that we need to waiver farming, animal husbandry, hunting and other ways of using animals for human needs. The main idea can be expressed through a verbal formula: "Man and animals are equal and therefore have equal rights; to kill animals is just as crime, as to kill a person." However, this theory does not hold out to any criticism, as the idea of equality between men and animals is highly irrational. Animal protection extremists, or eco-terrorists affect ...

1. Introduction Global warming consequences have been mainly focused on the impacts they have and will in the future have on the global human population. The less focus is on the impact on the animal and plant species that are even more vulnerable, since they cannot adapt to quick changes as humans can. They are not the main culprit for the climate changes and yet they will suffer the most. One of the animal species that is being threatened by the global climate change are also polar bears that inhabit the polar region. They are playing an important role ...

“The land ethic,” which is found in the work of Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, is a theoretical philosophical framework. In it, Leopold tries to confront the weaknesses which he say encompass common environmental conservation. Leopold, a trained forester, and hunter, cherished and recognized the benefits of nature (Leopold, 2014). Having lived through the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, he witnessed fertile top soil in southwestern Wisconsin blown away by the wind and eventually sip into the sea. These he observed were as a result of human activities and wondered how, despite the profit motives of man ...

The fourth season of Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology horror series American Horror Story, subtitled Freak Show, resets its rotating cast of regular actors into a new setting – that of a fictionalized freak show in 1960s Florida. The series capitalizes on the overarching cultural discourse of freaks throughout 20th century media and culture, particularly inspired by the depiction of freaks in Tod Browning’s Freaks and Herk Harvey’s film Carnival of Souls. Over the course of the series, however, the freaks (many of whom are played by people with the actual disabilities and deformities they purport to have) ...

The benefits of automation are ever increasing and helping the companies to save on extra expenses. However, its adoption lead to the increase in cyber crimes and attacks, where hackers steal information from companies and dump them on the internet or sell it. Due to the nature of these attacks, no one has an idea of when or who will be targeting them. Hence, large and mid-sized companies invest heavily on securing ...

Many works of nonfiction and fiction, including Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, have suggested that there is a link between the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages and Freemasonry as it exists today. While the majority of historians and researchers do not currently accept that this is the case, there are certain slight indications that might point in this direction. Certainly a number of Masons believe this might be the case. But to consider the possibility that there is a link between these two organizations requires understanding what occurred during the dissolution of the Knights Templar in the ...

The documentary outlays the incidences that have brought debate in Canada concerning the hunting of seals. Critically, the practice has been refuted by high profile individuals, animal activists and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Ideally, the controversial actions in that Troake family did seek a defense in trying to justify their actions. Arguably, the killing of seals is made differently. The misconception that they used guns is a total fallacy. Traoke stipulates that the act is time-honored and claims that it is taking an environmental responsibility. IFAW critical perception concerning the annual seal hunt is skeptical. Viewing the ...

Compliment of the Chinese Writing System

Writing is an essential way of expressing some feelings that a person may have. In the ancient world, a writing system of an individual community varied from another because people had limited contact that resulted in fewer interactions, hence, was not able to exchange ideas and develop new systems.

The phenomenon of religious pluralism introduced by John Hick appears quite important nowadays, since this concept aims at the unification of all world religions for the sake of the so-called dialogues of religions. According to Hick's theory, all religions are positive and represent the paths through which a person reaches God or the highest verity. Gods manifest themselves in diversity, and world religions are the product of Gods' and humans' creativity. With that, world religions are positive in the way they appear the carriers of universal virtues. Hence, there exist many religions, but Gods are one, thus, there is ...

One artist captures you with his subtle strokes while the other captivates with the sheer drama that happens in the canvas. Vermeer and El Greco-artists with completely different styles yet united by the magic they bring about in the emotions of their figures. In the two paintings of Vermeer, ‘Study of a Young Woman’ and ‘Young Woman with a Water Pitcher’, there is a certain sense of stillness and serenity as opposed to the paintings of El Greco which is rather dramatic. Perhaps it is the setting and theme of the paintings, but the two works of El Greco, ‘Opening of the ...

The art of calligraphy can be traced back in time, when technology did not provide people with the modern conveniences people of the 21st century enjoy. Calligraphy was considered a means of giving things -and life itself- a meaning because “sound couldn’t travel to another place and couldn’t remain, so writings came into being to act as the track of meaning and sound.” (Qian 36) From the first picture-like calligraphy works found about 4,000 years ago (Lu and Aiken 25) to the so-called Modern Calligraphy of the 1980s and 1990s (Zhuzhong and Desheng 109), a lot has changed.

For a very long time, in the history of the naval Special Warfare Community, information on their services and operations has always remained a secret to only them and no one else apart from the authority.
