Harry Frankfurt

The culture industry itself is self-named, an industry primarily based on values of an assembly line. The culture industry continues the governing of human beings under the appearance of freedom, as the goal of the culture industry is to reproduce the values of capitalist culture by producing false pleasures. Similar to the movie, Bob Roberts, is a deceitful businessman but like many others, he projects an image of himself as being fair, reasonable and righteous. In the movie residents believe…

In 2001, Michael Haneke directed a film called, The Piano Teacher. Haneke’s attitude, as conveyed to the spectator, is not to rail against pornography, per se, but to rail against its impact as generated by a capitalist patriarchy. This stems from a similar modality introduced by Linda Williams1 in which she “...moves beyond the impasse of the anti-porn/anti-censorship debate to analyze what hard-core film pornography is and does.” (Slade 656). Haneke’s method portrays a patriarchal approach…

Almost twenty years after the Nazis defeat, the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials began. This was the second trial for Nazi soldiers stationed in Auschwitz. Over the course of two years, twenty-two defendants were tried for their actions during the Holocaust. These trials took place in Germany and were open to the public. This was somewhat of a way to bring the details of the Holocaust to the public. In fact, there were three hundred and sixty witnesses called to the stand over the course of the trial.…

with regular routes between Dortmund and other European cities. Unfortunately, there are no direct flights available from Canada to Dortmund. To get there, you'll have to stop in a major international airport like the ones found in Munich (MUC), Frankfurt (FRA), or London (LTN). Germany is a part of the Schengen area, which means that Canadians can visit visa-free for up to 90 days at a time. You can also travel freely within Schengen area countries during your 90-stay trip! To avoid any…

For werewolves the most common one has been The Wolf Man, but as of 2008 when someone says the thing most often thought of are the werewolves from the Twilight Saga. In my opinion Professor Lupin from the harry potter series is my favorite of them all. Examples of werewolves from TV series are ones in True Blood, Teen Wolf and Vampire Diaries. Which brings us to the other end of the spectrum, Bram Stokers Dracula is probably the most often thought of example…

races, genders, and classes have one thing in common, their love for Harry Potter. I am proud to be one of those people. While I toss and turn, I stare at the clock and time seems to be moving extra slow. It is three in the morning, and I have to be awake in less than two hours to meet my friends that I haven 't seen in over a year at Universal Studios. I can barely contain my excitement because I will be spending two days in Harry Potter World. I grew up in the generation when J.K. Rowling was…

As soon as my sneakers hit the grimy sidewalk outside the concert hall, I could tell something was amiss. There was no squealing of brakes from the mid-day traffic, or any jogger along the sidewalk. As I continued down the block, I did not hear the resonance of pubescent chatter from the playground down the street, nor the squabble of vendors. All around me was utter silence. Remember when your parents would proclaim, “Silence is golden.” ? Yet after lounging my cello onto my back and stumbling…

findings from Harlow’s study provided valuable and life changing knowledge to all parents and caregivers worldwide. It was previously thought that forming a close bond with an infant would lead them to be spoiled, but after much research, especially Harry Harlows, it was shown that attachment is actually extremely important for the development of the child. Harlow’s study on the infant monkeys has led to a lot of controversy and uproar. Many people believed that taking the monkeys away from…

J. K. Rowling changed the world. The Harry Potter series is still the top selling book series in the world. It has created a whole new lifestyle for some people. The famous sport from her work was made into a real sport, Quidditch, and is a sport beloved by millions, and from that we can see…

piece of work which shows the effectiveness of cinematography when it was released in 2012. It is about a hobbit who goes on an adventure to help the dwarves reclaim the kingdom of Erebor which is a treacherous journey. This film will be compared to Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone which was based off the book by J.K. Rowling. This movie is a fantasy/action movie which really shows what a…
