Inappropriate behaviour affects the classroom climate…

on media violence by essentially confirming and furthering their original findings. For instance, some of the early research on media violence suggested that if someone frequently watched a particularly violent television show like The Following or Dexter, then they are more likely to become less empathetic and desensitized to the violence depicted in the shows. The viewer then begins to notice the violence hardly for what it is, but instead, recognizes it a just another aspect of the show. In…

the message in the novels is personally relevant to you.” I believe that within any type of intellectual writing an author not only sheds light onto their perception of understanding the world around them but also while in the process whether it was done consciously or unconsciously. That author imprints an aspect of their soul shrouded within underlying subtext of their writing that may unveil an in depth reflection of who they are personally and more importantly their insightful…

Introduction: I am writing this extended essay, to further my personal literary vocabulary, as well as my literary knowledge on the term Anti-Hero. I was inspired by this unusual expression, when I came across the love story Deadpool. It got me pondering on the topic Heroism and all the heros we watch, and read about growing up. It made me rethink my own definition of the word hero. The oxford dictionary defines the term hero as “A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding…

There have been many TV shows that I have loved, but have failed due to the studio taking a huge deuce on it because of timing, bad advertising, bad writing and bad planning. One example of such a great show is the sci-fi western Firefly. It holds a special place in my heart because it was so different, and it blended old timey western elements with futuristic space opera themes. It was cancelled after 13…

The eighteenth century presented itself as a very interesting time in history, especially in the literary world. Changes were occurring in British society, as well as Europe as a whole, which sparked a change in literature. Literature became more satirical and authors felt that they had more of an obligation to "out" crooked politicians, a monarch that did not do much, or to even go as far as to criticize other authors and their incapability of proving themselves worthy of joining the literary…
