Die Another Day

Bond finished it off in style, with a shaken martini at the end of the night. This image of James Bond sticks in our minds throughout many of the Bond movies, yet, Casino Royale is a bit different. In this film, there are many moments that give us a different impression of Bond – one that we’ve never seen before in him. Casino Royale is the first film where Bond undergoes many physiological changes, and it leaves us wondering – is James Bond a hero? Many would agree that yes, he is – he fights for justice and always “gets the bad guy,” as we like to say at times, but Bond lacks many of the significant attributes of modern day heroes, so perhaps he could be perceived as a tarnished hero. Theorist, Margery Hourihan’s stereotypical image of a hero is white, male, unimaginably fit, display very little emotion and, of course, fights for justice each and every day for the sake of society. People admire these sorts of heroes for their display of courage, humility and success. The superheroes we see in movies, TV shows and comics possess unique superhuman traits along with the constant admiration and praise they receive from everyone and a lot of the time, this is what drives them, and throughout many Bond films, that, as well as his ego, was what drove him. Throughout the many James Bond movies that have been made, it’s clear that Bond has undergone many significant changes, from Sean Connery in the 1960s to Daniel Craig, today. However, there’s one detrimental flaw in Bond’s…

Love is depends on people’s feeling but in only one case people should not decide to love or not to love. That one case is the family. There is no choice of love because the family members have to love their family; without love family does not exist. For example, if friends or people die will be sad, but when one of the family members dies the sadness cannot be compared to the sadness for the other people. The sadness cannot be compared because of difference of the love; more love means more…

Bond, James Bond. The infamous phrase heard from the James Bond series. The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming; who featured him in twelve novels and two short-story collections. Ian Fleming once stated, “I don't regard James Bond precisely as a hero, but at least he does get on and do his duty, in an extremely corny way.” In the nearly 50 years since he first appeared on the big screen, James Bond’s character has evolved…

producers to take liberties in the form of adding in propaganda under the guise of rewriting the stories for film adaptations sake. One of the major changes between the book and the movie was the internationalization of the villain, who went, originally, from a Russian ally to, in the movie, an agent of SPECTRE. This adaptation is clearly a shift in order to make the propaganda subtle enough by not directly associating the Russian communists as the enemy. The use of a latter novel as opposed to…

The author persuades her audience in order that they will support the right to die movement. Harrow uses examples of court cases and suicides to solidify her argument. She also references the Wiccan Golden Rule, “An it harm none, do what you will” (Harrow 9). This rule is the basis of the point Harrow is proving; as long as a person does not inflict harm upon any others, they are allowed to take actions as they see fit. To help develop her argument, the author uses a very blunt tone and is…

Matthew Donnelly is a middle-aged man who was consumed by skin cancer; he loved life, but wanted to die. Matthew pleaded to the doctors to end this misery, but they refused because killing a man just to put him out of his misery would be immoral. People had not considered assisted suicide until the 1990’s when a man named Jack Kevorkian sparked the idea. Jack Kevorkian, or better known as “Doctor Death” started to help ease patients out of their pain by helping to end their lives. Assisted…

The “Right to Die” is this a choice or is this a choice that society should be allowed to make? The controversy over someone choosing to end their life when dealing with a terminal illness with a physician’s help is the rights of the patient and not the right of society to choose. People who are dealing with terminal illness should have a choice to die or not with their doctor’s help. In a physician-assistant suicide the doctor prescribes the medication that will end a patient’s life, but the…

months the medical team decides you will no longer benefit from any treatment. Now, the doctor tells you there is nothing left that they can do to help. Your symptoms worsen as the days pass on. The doctor is able to prescribe you medications to relieve some of the pain but you will…

for euthanasia. The main argument would be it is for the better; it is to stop the suffering. If you were in excruciating pain would you want to prolong that feeling? Do you have a high tolerance for pain? For some people they have appointed guardians or tell family members what they would want. In the case Spahn v. Eisenberg, Spahn the sister also the court appointed guardian, argued that her sister Edna would not have wanted to live in this vegetative state where she needed to be tube fed. So…
