Comedians

In my essay, I wrote about the issue of gun control. I believe that there should be a little stricter laws pertaining to guns because people treat them as toys, rather than deadly weapons. I chose this topic primarily because I was going to give a speech on the issue of guns in America. Writing about this topic and preparing for a speech, I could kill two birds with one stone, along with the added benefit of extra research.

Through observation, I quickly found that the world’s greatest comedians, in many ways, are political scientists. Through their satire and irreverence, comedians are often able…

1.5. Methodological Framework The key concepts through which technology and culture are understood will be established and defined as part of a contextual foundation. This will be accomplished by examining both concepts through the idea of conceptual narratives (progress, convenience, determinism and control), and to take a closer look at the ways in which technology is integrated and embedded in our culture. Technology as a concept will be evaluated through applying the four phases of the…

love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.” Ellen Degeneres is a very influential person in our world today because she is compassionate, caring and generous; a gifted comedian, author and hostess; and is a strong supporter of equality in America.
