Boris Godunov

I have been living for 50 years so far, a milestone I would like to remember forever. Blessed to have been born in a modest family with hardworking parents Celestino and Estrella. They made sure that me and my other 3 siblings Ate Lita, Kuya Perry and Bobby have roof in our heads, food in the table, clothes to wear, school to attend, protected us and kept us safe all the time. My parents taught us the value of close knit loving family. Bisaya is my first spoken dialect was born in Ozamis City…

Victor is the true villain of the story. Based off of his creature 's looks, he was disgusted and left him all on his own. The creation wasn 't nurtured and "raised" to act morally so he was forced to teach himself everything. Although it wasn 't right for the monster to blame all of his decisions on Victor, he was right about the fact that he deserved to be nurtured and treated humanely and taught how to live in the real world. Plus, Victor went back on his word when it came to creating the…

Introduction This is my first journal entry and it will be about how well I am adjusting to life in terms of well-being, balancing your priorities, developing my identity, and coping with stress with what I have learned thus far in my psychology course. Adjusting to life in terms of well-being Life! I don’t think that no one person can truly say that they are truly happy and satisfied with their lives to the point of them not wanting to make any more changes or improvements. For me I’m trying…

eternity. In the same movie, Edward Van Sloan's Dr. Van Helsing is also great. In 1931's Dracula you can truly feel these two great characters battling wits. My two favorites of this genre are James Whale's Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Boris Karloff's monster is one of the most tragic figures in all of film and is played by Karloff to perfection. Not to mention, the make-up design by Jack Pierce is synonymous with the character. Additionally, you have Colin Clive's ambitious and mad…

world. Everyone knows the iconic giant, bright green, flat-headed monster with bolts and a forehead scar. This character is seen everywhere from every decade since the first book. But where does this image of the monster come from? As it turns out, Boris Karloff’s portrayal as Frankenstein’s monster in a series of Universal horror films in the 1930’s has shaped the perception of the monster far more than Mary Shelley’s original description. Mary Shelley originally describes the character in the…

Russia Francis Fukuyama and Samuel Huntington were both well known political scientists that had two very different views about the future of the nations of the globe. Fukuyama, in his essay The End of History and Man, argued that with economic growth countries would begin to focus on free market policies and democracy. This move to free markets and democracy would inevitable cause the nations to become so similar, his convergence theory. Samuel Huntington argued, in The Clash of…

The breakup of the Soviet Union had Russia break out into fights and ended up causing political problems. After the collapse of the USSR, Russia’s struggle to westernize and to capitalize was unsuccessful under the leadership of the new president Boris Yeltsin. His plan to get rid of all communism was to deal a lot of damage towards the political and economy structure in the country. However, since he came into power so suddenly he had done little in the first month which caused citizens to…

Vladimir Putin is known as a widely controversial man. Although powerful, his ideas are far from helpful to mankind. Some of his ideas, such as the ban of citizens of the United States from adopting Russian babies, have sparked anger and controversy between Russia and other countries. Putin has a record of angering people through his decisions as Russia’s president, but nothing angered people more than his ban on adoption for the United States. He was born October 7, 1952 in St. Petersburg,…

Motive For Murder: Boris Yeltsin and Mikhail Gorbachev disagreed on many subjects. The most prominent of these disagreements is the rate at which they wanted social reform to occur. Gorbachev prefered a slower pace to his reform, easing into it carefully. Yeltsin however, was very much the opposite and this caused conflict between the politicians, “Yeltsin proved an able and determined reformer, but he estranged Gorbachev when he began criticizing the slow pace of reform at party meetings,…

By 1989, a dozen major issues existed that led President Gorbachev to introduce the reforms of perestroika and glasnost. These reforms failed, and within a few years, the entire Soviet Union broke apart into various nations across Eurasia. In some circles, the Soviet collapse was blamed on Gorbachev’s poor and hesitant leadership. Despite Gorbachev’s leadership being a contributing factor, several other significant issues remained. To supplement the readings, we played a political game to…
