From Lost Innocence to Gained Experience War does not only include army warfare, but also personal experiential wars. Feelings of fear, hostility and indignation dominate peacefulness; as we all identify rivals in the world around us and “pit ourselves” against them so as to have an object for hate. Personal or political wars may result ignorance in the human heart and result in inability to understand self and others. Furthermore, realities of life permeate and threaten peace in the world of youth as seen in the Devon School in A Separate Peace. War can hold strange parallels to sport as also in the Winter Carnival, and the atmosphere created can prevail in a time of war, along with the emotions, conflicts, and jealousy that can result…
The Gamer’s dilemma, a term coined by Morgan Luck (2009), outlines the predicament faced by gamer’s when asked to acknowledge why the ethics of virtual killing is deemed morally permissible, whilst virtual paedophilia is considered morally prohibited. This dilemma prompts an analysis of the acceptance of the immoral act of virtual killing and question why virtual paedophilia is wrong in a gaming context. I will argue that there are not enough moral discrepancies between virtual killing and virtual paedophilia to suggest that virtual paedophilia should be socially rejected, whilst killing accepted, therefore both must be allowed. I will evaluate two arguments to support the premise of my thesis. Firstly, I will assess the claim that no living human being is harmed in the process of a virtually immoral act.…

In American History we are currently studying the concept of sectionalism. Sectionalism is division within a country based on regional beliefs and interests. In the early to mid 1800’s, sectionalism in America grew as slavery divided the Nation.

Thirty minutes of play of Zhang Yimou’s “Hero,” I watched two characters, Flying Snow with Moon, hanging blade to blade as if through mystical powers surrounded with spinning colorful leaves. This incredibly lovely scene, decorated in untainted color, shot like a fantasy poetry, and dramatized like angels’ dance, it is unbelievable to be a fight. It is more similar to a swordplay pleasure (Harrison 570). This is the loveliest scene ever filmed and among the spectacles that the film gives to the audience who must be ready to be amazed.…
Why have video games become a big success? Back in the early 1900s, people didn’t have video games, they had simple games such as checker and chess. These two games are still widely played, but when computers and televisions started becoming a normal necessity, virtual games became more apparent. The concept of video games started with the first computer game. This game was a version of tic-tac-toe, created in 1952 by A.S. Douglas, a Cambridge university doctoral student (Hile)…
