    In ‘Reading the Movies’, it was William Costanzo who stated that one third of all films ever made were translated from literature onto the big screen for modern day audiences (Costanzo, 1992).

    “Being a refugee is much more than political studies, it is the most pervasive kind of cruelty that can be exercised against a human being” Deadly silence swept through the night, dispensing uneasy tension and fear across the bombarded city of Daraa. Terror walked around our streets, loaded with heavy ammunition aiming their hatred towards innocent civilians.

From a totalitarian corrupt government to brainwashed citizens and surveillance that blankets the world, the dystopian future depicted in 1984 could easily become our future if we are not careful, and George Orwell wants to make sure that it doesn’t. By placing…

    The mythological and historical narrative of the ‘separation of powers’ between state governments and the Federal government engrains itself within the United States cultural identity. In Chapter 4, "Foundation I," Arendt continues the cultural propagation of this trope, claiming the ‘separation of powers’ constitutes a check on the otherwise abhorrent growth of centralized political power and authority, ensuring that no portion of the government became any more powerful than another.
