The fourth chapter found reflections of the ethical in the characters of Boris, Alyosha, and Stalin, and in the fifth chapter, possible reflections of Kierkegaard’s aesthetic were observed in the characters of Mark, Hitler, and Vadim.

The use of narratives and white lies allows for the powerful to entice the people surrounding them by painting themselves as a perfect person. Author of Empire of Illusion, Chris Hedges, contends that artifice is needed as a skill for…

Kpop groups and idols are chosen primarily based on their…

Blue is seen throughout the movie as clothes on the protagonist, Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya)…
