empathy, and have completely ceased to care about humanity. In the case of the good guys, the father says, "This is what good guys do. They keep trying [and] they don't give up" (137). Why? Because while many of the remaining people have turned into cannibalism because of the post-apocalyptic environment, the father ensures that he and his son stay on the path of goodness. However, the difference between good and evil is sometimes confusing, particularly for the son. This confusion first comes…

elements are laid on a bit thick in place, but it's those elements that's really made Ravenous hold up over time. That and it's loosely based on elements of both the Donner Party and Alferd Packer. Also while Ravenous is supposedly a film about cannibalism, I would argue it's more of creature feature with the Wendigo being the monster in question due to the strong supernatural element. Because as far as I know eating the flesh of another human doesn't give you special abilities, like being able…

An image of them as ”the other” - an animal, a barbarian, consuming human flesh as soon as the chance arises, cannibalism that lies in their blood - ”[Friday] was still a cannibal in his nature”. An image created by a white man who never met any cannibals. More recent reports of the Carib Indians would show that their cannibalism was not executed in the barbaric manners portrayed in the novel, for instance, ”they also practiced a kind of euthanasia of the old — eating…

Rebellion and madness set in the period of one of the darkest periods of human life since the Neolithic revolution; Aguirre, the Wrath of God takes us back to a time of conquistadors and the blatant disregard for human life while one tries to permanently cement their name in the history books and trust me Don Lope de Aguirre has succeeded in that regard though perhaps not as well as his initial commander in this film, Francisco Pizarro. Power is something that we as humans always desire, even…

lived through her devotion, with Perpetua wished (and achieved) glory through martyrdom. The “Passion of Perpetua” also presents how the outside world interacted with Christianity. The outside world believed Christians to be savages, attributing cannibalism and strange ritual practices to their religious devotion. This is akin to the Gospel of Judas, where the apostles have a vision of individuals sacrificing animal and children as a strange religious ritual, to which Jesus replies “It is you…

An example of this is that a member of a tribe of cannibals does not think about the cannibalism as right or wrong, but they just accept cannibalism because it is their mode of behavior and practice for a long period of time. All the social sciences are agreed on the fact that humans in groups have a profound effect on the thought procedure of the members. And it…
