Kubrick takes the audiences from the dawn of mankind to the farthest region of outer space, he skillfully orchestrates every scene for us to ponder on, to question, to fathom, with meticulous and yet, casual detail that explodes visually upon our senses by the sheer scope of imagery. Critics and audiences, past and present, considered…

In this paper, I will analyze John Harris’ argument structure in his 1975 article “The Survival Lottery,” then raise an objection to one of his arguments, then I will state what I believe Harris’ response to my arguments would be.

I am a strong believer in keeping the second amendment because this gives me the opportunity to protect my family as well as myself. Gun control means well, but it will not solve problems. It will make issues worse and develop bigger problems. While some think, gun control prevents negative action we need to understand things…

However, despite the many similarities between Angola and Mozambique, the outcomes of the UN intervention were drastically different. Both countries were affected by civil war for decades.

WesBurlesque; "How to Find Comfortability in the Uncomfortable" (just some ideas here…) My Thesis: At Wesleyan I will be interpreting how Performers in WesBurlesque believe that the performance/ process is “liberating” and “inclusive” but at the same time pushes members outside their “comfort zone” and excludes some individuals in the process.
