George Clooney’s film noir “Suburbicon”, a weird crossing between “Double Indemnity” and a Shakespeare’s tragedy, holds a grip until a certain point but ultimately fails to deliver. The first film directed by Clooney in three years had everything to succeed if it wasn’t for its predictability and tackiness in the vain attempt to throw in serial crime episodes, racial injustice, and social satire in the same bag without mixing them well first. Not even the magic touch of the Coen Brothers, who…

Spanish tax base for close to forty (Gill, n.d.). W.T. Arnold writes that the provinces made up the largest majority of taxpayers to Rome, and goes on to talk about a shift from how Rome once required an indemnity from those they conquered, such as from Carthage, to what he calls a permanent indemnity (1906). As was the case in many aspects of the Ancient Roman Empire and Republic government, there appears to have been a great deal of corruption within the tax system. William Alden (2010),…

Social and technological factors have caused Film Noir to develop and change in a plethora of ways to keep up with a constantly changing audience’s takes and expectations.

For Native Hawaiians, the last two centuries have been a struggle against extinction. Not long after Captain Cook sailed up in 1778, disease, poverty and political and economic exploitation began pushing their culture toward the vanishing point. One harsh milestone came in 1893, when American and European businessmen backed by United States marines overthrew the Hawaiian kingdom. Annexation by the United States quickly followed. “Hawaii has since thrived as a multiracial society, and its native…

These treaties share the prominent similarity of their goals towards security, leveling, and peace throughout Europe. But their historical applicability evoke differences in their processes towards peace. The Congress of Vienna took on the monumental task of reassigning territory to each…
