    To properly deconstruct the white savior myth embodied by Romeo Dallaire, it is first important to understand the concept of white savior films and how problematic they are. Blogger Feministfilm defines White Savior Films (WSF) “as movies that feature a white person coming into the lives of a person or people of color who are often low-income, troubled, and/or severely oppressed. The troubled times that the people of color are in can be a product of oppression from other white folks, or their own doing. Either way, the White Savior comes in, quickly sympathizing with the problems of the people of color, learning what needs to happen to solve their problems, and in doing so, wins their favor and becomes their hero”. This phenomenon has become especially popular in historical drama films.…

    The video, Doing the Right Thing group Bible study by Charles Colson, Brit Hume, reminded me how morally and spiritually bankrupt our society has become. Greed and corruption run rampant among our business, schools, government, homes, and sadly, even our schools. Pride and greed tend to work together in the lives of many people, leading to divorce, neglect, addictions, theft, and many other immoral actions. Chuck Colson gave an excellent explanation of self-righteousness when he stated, “self-righteousness is the belief that you are so good that you can’t be compromised” (Colson, 2012).…

    The Smoking Gun article entitled A Million Little Lies was published on 4th January 2006 and was written by Bill Bastone. The six-page analytical article solely focuses on a six-week investigation undertaken by the website to disclose the methodology applied to uncover the truth about Frey’s “fiction addiction” (Bastone, 2006).

This idea is communicated and dramatized by both the journalist and the dean through a compelling use of ethos, logos, and kairos. James Hamblin and Jeff Wilson ultimately strengthen Wilson’s message about living deliberately by establishing themselves as credible, authoritative,…
