The millennial generation is “lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow,” this is the opinion of American Journalist, Joel Stein, in his blog post, “Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation.” Stein’s purpose is to not downgrade the…

Roland and Tristan are considered to be the perfect examples of a good vassal but their definition of loyalty and how they express it is completely different. Feudalism was used by kings in order to loan out their kingdoms when they became too large to control on their own.

The title, Unfinished Business: Sex, Freedom and misogyny draws an immediate reaction from the reader. The crude wording is a bold move, and we are automatically invited to assume that Goldsworthy will be able to justify her argument from the title alone. Goldsworthy opens her essay by giving a direct time, place and date to a…

For Eriugena, the physical world is not without access to or communication with the other world; there is a bridge between the two, and it is constituted by the symbolum or figura. The symbol has great importance, and its definition plays a part in biblical exegesis where it designates a type of allegory that Eriugena defines as “allegory of words but not of events” (allegoria dicti et non facti). The symbol stimulates the faithful to search for a spiritual meaning, and it drives the viewer…

Full House, The Powerpuff Girls, and Star Wars. People may find these to be common household names from the nineties and early two thousands. However, in 2016, almost twenty years since these shows and movies were relevant, billboards and commercials announce the return or reimagining of these intellectual properties.

references the numerous allusions to fireplace and burning within the textual content. First, Montag burns his home and his possessions. Mockingly, Montag does not grieve the shortage of his domestic or possessions. In assessment, he feels unburdened by releasing himself from the intrusive television walls that plagued his existence.
