    Whether one decides to believe in fate, destiny, free will, or anything else, one thing is always true: people make choices. Every day we make choices. They can be small ones, like choosing to tip five percent more at a restaurant or choosing to wear a green tie over a blue one. But many of the choices a person makes are larger than these, choosing a field to major in, or choosing a spouse, perhaps. Clearly, our choices are important because they determine our character and future, but they are also important because many, if not all, of our choices, directly affect others and the people around them.…

    Would You Rather is an ultimatum horror movie in which the characters are forced to make timed decisions, which cause devastating, and often fatal consequences. Steffen Schlachtenhaufen’s gruesome twist on the classic childhood game, from which the movie receives its title, comes to show the audience how desperate situations cause people to re-evaluate or ignore our values in order to find a solution for their situation. Iris, the main character, and seven other contestants each demonstrate this point as each of them compete in a contest in an attempt to win the opportunity to have their problems solved. For these characters, being invited to the dinner party at which this contest is to occur appeared to be a lifeline. However, when this…

    The question of our responsibility to alleviate world hunger is one that has been approached from several ethical directions. The philosophies range from strict utilitarian Peter Singers General Principle, which demands full marginality, to philosophies that argue the individual has no responsibility to aid in relief at all, in fact, an obligation not to, as Garret Hardin holds. Hardin goes as far as to endorse population control in his theories, strongly invoking Darwinism – survival of the fittest. Hardin’s position would hardly be a compelling argument against Singer’s principle as it offers no option but to do nothing at all. Fair cases against Singer can be made through more relaxed theories.…

What I first learned about her is that she was very open and inviting. I found this out on the way to New Orleans.…
