While it may appear to be just another mob movie in a sea of mobster noir films, it’s a contemporary crime drama that hinges on thriller as well. The film is set in modern times on the south side of Boston, and the characters are keen to remind everyone of that fact, making the setting of the south side a prominent point throughout the film. It starts with an almost benevolent Frank Costello, expertly played by Jack…

Historically, the United States has frowned upon a state with a powerful military. Likely because of the Revolution, many Americans saw the military as a direct challenge to a successful democracy. Accordingly, the increase in militarism has three main implications on United States foreign policy through the amount and help of each of engagement, the subsequent growth of the bureaucracy, and the dangers of a military industrial complex. Consequently, this unprecedented expansion has allowed the…

fantastic. So, although the Incongruity Theory freed humour from the traditional stigma of being anti-social, it has not improved philosophers’ assessments of humour much over the last three centuries. In Western science since the Enlightenment, it is an axiom that the…

Introduction: The Era of 1920’s, also known as Roaring 20’s and the Jazz Age, is the epitome of change in women, as they transition from a traditional woman, who don’t have universal suffrage, and are wearing conservative clothes to “New Woman” who has a freedom which is seen in their freedom to vote and freedom to wear provocative clothing. The novel Great Gatsby was written after World War 1. It gives light to the changes in women in the characterizations of the main character, Daisy Buchanan,…

build world peace’: “I extend to every disciple of Christ and to every person of good will a warm invitation to expand their hearts to meet the needs of the poor and to take whatever practical steps are possible in order to help them. The truth of the axiom cannot be refuted: “to fight poverty is to build peace.”” Caritas Australia for example, literally meaning ‘love and compassion’ in Latin, is an international aid and development organisation of the Catholic Church in Australia which spans…

view pertaining to the evolution of history is further exemplified in Hume’s essay “Parties and Revolution Settlement”. It poses the question on ‘why is what was acceptable no longer acceptable?’ Hume states that “while they pretend to inculcate an axiom, peculiar to English jurisprudence, they violate the most established principles of human nature” (Hume, pg. 236).

In Part One of The Ethics, Spinoza establishes his substance monism and proves that God, as an infinite being, is the sole substance in the universe. The task that follows in Part Two is to explicate the character of everything else which flows from the nature of God. In Proposition 7, he outlines what has since been termed the “parallelism” doctrine (Heide 02 Mar). He faces the challenge of explaining why why ideas and bodies appear to be so consistently coordinated, given that they are modes…

by the works of critics such as Fanon, Said, and Bhabha, who based their theories on the works of Derrida, Lacan and Foucault. In his mainly “psychoanalytical interpretation” of the black/white binary, Fanon establishes certain mandates or a set of axioms such as “the black man wants to be white”, “the white man slaves to reach a human level”, “the white man is sealed in his whiteness”, “the black man in his blackness”; he also establishes two facts: “white men consider themselves superior to…

and diachronically, "phasing out" a disabled individual's (cell's) function in updating its "disciplinary" code of formulaic protocol(s). The re-written cell, reproducing new directive codes, leading to new corrective groupings, becomes the axis of axioms by marginalising the "outdated" and "outmoded" programmes of self-constituency: disciplinary power is a "terminal, capillary form of power; a final relay, a particular modality by which political power, power in general, finally reaches the…
