Auditor's report

A boomerang produces the same results no matter how, where, or why it was thrown. It always comes back to the original location, even when consciously trying to alter its course. The end result is always predictable, like destiny. Destiny is like any greater force humans cannot see, hear, or touch. It leaves the world divided. Some people believe that outcomes are solely the product of choices. Others believe in a greater force that influences the decisions a person makes. However, a combination…

Pornography is harmful to relationships, deceptive because it gives unrealistic expectations, and addictive in and of itself. Although it is viewed by many as normal and natural, pornography is dangerous, and more dangerous for adolescents because of their brains’ physical immaturity. Increased normality of pornography and easier access has made it more present than ever. Many view pornography as a normal and natural behavior, however pornography is harmful to relationships, deceptive because it…

Comedy is seen and enjoyed by many all around the world, claiming its place as a staple of human culture. Comedy has but one rule: it must be funny. Other than this, humorists can take any and all liberties to fundamentally change the affect of their art; resulting in a wide array of comedic styles. The “comedy” umbrella somehow shelters the slapstick fun of Laurel and Hardy, the deadpan observations of Steven Wright and the surrealism of Monty Python. These comedians, along with all of their…

the Colbert Report. The book addresses issues that Americans face as adults and current issues facing the nation, plus a note to the future. All these issues are taken on with humor and satire so as to make big issues less intimidating and almost menial. I have to say I struggle to find something that I don’t like in this hilarious book. Which is why I am excited to now present a synopsis of the book. Presenting this like parody of all…

nature to crave knowledge. People cannot help it, and oftentimes it is a favorable quality. Awareness should be desirable, right? Sometimes. But when dealing with fate, awareness can only hurt individuals, as shown in both Oedipus Rex and Minority Report. Both movie and play clearly illustrate that when a person tries to change their own destiny, they only end up bringing themselves closer to it. They also show how attempting to alter another’s destiny yields the same outcome. Unfortunately,…

The “Minority Report” ,by Stephen Spielberg, takes a classic short story also called “Minority Report”, by Philip K. Dick, and adds a more Hollywood modern twist to it. Similar to the short story, the movie takes the viewer on a journey filled with enough mystery and suspense to incite an internal war of right and wrong, but the movie separates itself in that it is made with a business aspect in mind. Therefore, Spielberg makes certain characters much more relatable. More specifically, Spielberg…

The movie Minority Report begins by introducing the audience to a world where murders are essentially nonexistent in Washington DC. A system called PreCrime is used which consists of a group of three mutated humans called Precogs that are able to predict murders before they occur. This information would, in turn, be provided to the PreCrime police, where they would then arrest the suspect and place them in a virtual reality. However, though this system seems fairly accurate, there are specific…

Since the start of filmmaking, sex has been a heavily debated topic, both on and off the screen. In the early 1970s, a kiss on screen or the mention of a sexual activity would be enough to convince parents to keep their children away. Not half a decade later, though, sexual acts were being displayed on camera for all to see, demonstrating a rapid progression in the acceptance of sexual acts over time in the film industry. Over time, a change has occurred in the regulation of content of American…
