    Crime is a revolving door that continues to be open by those who feel the need to take matters into their own hands. Everyone in society has either witness, experience, or read some sort of crime throughout their lives. According to Donald Black, people who believe their rights would not be justified within our criminal justice system, are more likely to take charge in their own matters. Therefore, incidents where people become victims of a crime, would sometimes lead to breaking the law in order to get vengeance. Black refers this theory as “The Theory of Self-Help.”…

    The main point of the film is to display the era of the 1930s and how racism, prejudice and injustice reigned in the United States, the real America. I believe the purpose of this particular film was to display and promote the comparison of killing a mocking bird to executing an innocent individual. In the film the comparison is to an African American male, Tom Robinson. A main character named Atticus Finch declares in a conversation, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds.…

    The time travel paradox or simply temporal paradox is a self contradictory argument in which time and space contradict each other and challenge destiny. A paradox is a self-contradicting idea that is logically unacceptable because there is no logic explanation to prove it. There are two types of temporal paradoxes: the causal loop and the grandfather paradox; each of them have the same basis, but have subtle differences. The movie “12 Monkeys” is built around a causal loop that enters in the subgenera of a self-fulfilling prophecy. This specific genre of the time travel paradox is based on the fact that an event in the future affect events of the past that will later on affect the future making an inconsistent logic of unexplainable relation of time and space.…
