Revenge for Masculinity “Away, morality!” demands Atreus. In dismissing morality as though it were a servant, Atreus acknowledges that his revenge scheme is unethical (Seneca 249) However, he disregards this and disregards moral justice. His revenge instead emerges as an expression of prideful rage that roots itself in a bruised and diminished masculinity’s attempt to assure itself of its strength. Self-value and rationality become irrelevant in this prideful attempt to reclaim masculinity as…

The film I chose to watch is Alfonso Cuaron’s film, Gravity. The film is less of sci-fi and more of space thriller. I chose to watch this film because I have always been a fan of thriller films and this film is different and one of its kind. Especially watching the film in 3-D is worth. Most 3-D films are more like a gimmick but this is film achieves real depth and spatial awareness for the viewer. Perhaps, the film makes you breathless with excitement. To me, the film was more than a…

One of the most defining features was the seasonal monsoons. In October, the monsoons bring hot air that that kill crops and during May, the monsoons do the opposite by bringing wet air that brings floods that…

population lives within 60 km from the sea or ocean. That’s why rising sea levels increase the risk of coastal flooding, and may lead to the activation of migration processes. In this respect, the most vulnerable regions are the Nile delta in Egypt, the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh, and many small islands such as the Maldives, the Marshall Islands and Tuvalu. People may be forced to move, which in turn raises the risk of a range of negative health effects, from mental disorders to…
