Bermuda

missing for a short period of time, sometimes for much longer or even, there are cases in which they're never found. No one knows why and how it happens. When it comes to the disappearing, everything can disappear - as planes and ships around the Bermuda triangle (which is still a mystery to scientists) and also the famous celebrities. There are several cases of historical figures, who have also disappeared through the years. 1. Spartak, a gladiator who led the largest slave revolt against…

eating disorders, teacher neglect, poor parenting, and sexual violence, parents sat helplessly on the sidelines wondering what they could do to prevent the loss of their early adolescent daughters as “they crash and burn in a social and developmental Bermuda Triangle” (19). Yet hope reared its head for a brief time in the mid- to late 1990s when a new era of Girl Power tantalized parents into thinking that the Girl in Crisis era was over. Strong, athletic, independent, confident, smart girls…

The male protagonist experiences a wide variety of sexism and oppression within the film from women. At the start of the film, he is strolling his pram and opening his mailbox. At this moment a female asks him about the building meeting but seems to disregard his opinion and backhandedly says ‘I should really be talking to your wife’. Seeing females as a more serious or smarter gender in this society and that men’s opinions do not matter. When he was on his bike riding on the road, a stranger…

King George the VI died in February 1952, leaving the throne to his twenty-five year old daughter Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, who was on her honeymoon in Kenya when the news of her father’s death first reached her ears (Smith 3; Schultz 380; “Her Majesty the Queen”). This victorious queen delved Britain deep into a period of economic prosperity. She is so loved; she receives nearly three hundred letters per day (“Her Majesty the Queen”). Queen Elizabeth is the most traveled of Britain’s…

Plato's story of Atlantis is one that has been discussed and theorized for centuries, causing many to wonder if he was being metaphorical or whether or not there really was a advanced civilization that sunk to the bottom of the sea. Throughout the advancements of technology people have been scanning the ocean for the lost city and despite the fact that the ocean is a deep dark and still vastly mysterious place to this day, scientists say that there is no way they could have missed what Plato…

The term “goofing off” is a complicated term for something so simple. Goofing off is simply enjoying your time with your friends without the everyday worries of life. Not to mention, to goof off with your friends you just simply forget about the world around you; the surroundings disappear, people become non-existent, and you are left with your friends and yourself. The atmosphere is relaxed, you can hear the musical notes of laughter, a chorus of voices just a murmur overhead, but at the moment…

At the very least, in what is likely the Allies biggest failure in responding to the Holocaust, visa quotas for entry into Britain and the United States should have been filled. The United States, traditionally isolationist in policy, had imposed tight limits to immigration with its 1924 Immigration and Nationality Act. These limits were not loosened, despite a multitude of applications and the growing awareness throughout the 1930s of Germany’s systematic discrimination and state-sponsored…

A full discussion of the concept of a ‘‘maxim’’ would require a lengthy exposition; for the purposes of this paper, it is sufficient to view an action’s ‘‘maxim’’ as an objective description both of the action and of the reasons for which it is done. In the case of inversions, the maxim is ‘‘reincorporate in another country in order to pay lower taxes’’. In order for an action with this maxim to be ethical, it must be possible for the maxim to be willed as universal law. According to Kant’s…

Critical Analysis “She’s dead!” “It’s true, Daddy! Nancy’s dead!” (page 60). Truman Capote starts the book, In Cold Blood off by explaining how the innocent family of four, Mr. Clutter (Herb), Ms. Clutter (Bonnie), their daughter, Nancy Clutter, and their son, Kenyon Clutter, were brutally murdered in their home on November 15, 1959. But does not give a motive as to why they were killed. As Truman goes back and retraces the murder, he does a really good job of using a unique style to convey the…

The Fall of an Empire The conundrums encountered by this small planet of ours are numerous; the Bermuda triangle, the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot and many more; but none of them trumps the disappearance of a nation overnight completely engulfed the ocean, which later through the course of history came to be known as the Atlantic Ocean. Addressing the elephant in the room, Atlantis was supposed to be a work of fiction by Athenian philosopher Plato, depicted as one of the most contentious…
