Anti-federalist correctly pointed out that the Constitution granted the federal courts an abundance of power, at the expense of the state and local courts. They wanted equal representation and supported implementing the Bill of Rights into the constitution for guaranteed protection of individual and natural rights. So when deciding to support Federalism or Anti-Federalism I choose Anti-federalism. Not only do I concur with the inclusion of the Bill of Rights and its necessity but I would have…

On September 29, 2000, A. O. Scott, a journalist for The New York Times, wrote a film review of the movie, “Remember the Titans”. His article, “How the Goal Line Came to Replace the Color Line,” presents a short but detailed analysis of the sport centered movie. “How the Goal Line Came to Replace the Color Line” is an article that is meant for everyone, regardless of race. In fact, Scott implores that viewers of all races will be infused with pride after viewing “Remember the Titans” because it…

The other characters don’t have distinctive voices. Avoid repeating dialogue. Dante twice mentions that racing is in their blood (pages 3 and 10). Both Gerry and Aldo make similar statements about picking up the pieces (pages 68 and 71). In addition, the repetitive nature of the script, make the pace feel sluggish. One keeps waiting to focus more on the race. With that said, the scenes of the brother…

ARMY has been always my biggest dream. Growing up with my dad in the military, I’ve always admired the armed forces, especially the ARMY. I have seen in movies how soldiers execute orders; but I’ve always wondered about how those orders or plans came to be. As I progressed through high school, I had a little understanding of the leaders in the military. Being in the SROTC program, I’ve learned more about the planning and strategic operation of the ARMY and the chain of command. In this chain of…

Racism is the prejudice against people regarding the country they came from, the colour of their skin, and the language they speak. Racism is a theme that is seen all over the world and also plays a big part in our modern history. In the novel to ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ and the film ‘Remember The Titans’, the racism prevalently between black and white Americans is dealt with in a numerous amount of ways. The novel is not a true story but is based on life at the time whereas the film is based on…

Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider (1969) established the cornerstone of a new perspective of the West in the countercultural context. As John Ford used the literature for some of his productions, the counterculture gets some influences from the beat generation with authors and works such as Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957). The counterculture’s cultural products share the same fascination for the movement and express a general dissatisfaction towards the traditional community values. This new…

established a year previous. According to the Manifesto of the Irish Volunteers, the aim of the Irish Volunteers was to "secure and maintain the rights and liberties common to the whole people of Ireland". It is agreed by many historians including, Gerry White and Brendan O Shea that the Volunteers were made up of members of the Gaelic League, the Hibernian Knights and also the Sinn Fein movement. As many of the members of all three organisations were also members of the GAA, it is therefore…

The fictional novel “The Dry” written by Jane Harper and the film “Jasper Jones” by Craig Silvey both explore the concept of justice and how institutions like law enforcement both succeed and fail in carrying out justice. “Jasper Jones” takes place in the small town of Corrigan in the late 1960’s and follows the experiences of thirteen year old protagonist, Charlie Bucktin. “The Dry” is set in a small town called Kiewarra in a more modern day, where protagonist Aaron Falk comes back to Kiewarra…

In football, every play is a feat of endurance. The snap sets off a crescendo of violence as linebackers slam together, receivers take off, and the quarterback desperately scurries for safety in the backfield. Players “[regard] their bodies as machines and weapons with which to annihilate their opponents,” and do not hesitate in taking down their foes (Messner and Sabo 95). They are injured fairly regularly in this hostile landscape: some athletes even endure career ending injuries. In…
