Human sacrifice

I’m writing about how the story of the Minotaur. Showing how everyone has that inner demon or monster inside of us all, waiting to someday be free from our minds. The Minotaur represents the animal and the human in us all. What does such a statement mean? Could the human side of the Minotaur possibly have ever emerged? And what might have resulted if his story or fate was different for the Minotaur? Instead of just being treated as a monster. What could the statement mean for a person? It can…

once said “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.” Throughout Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this statement is justified through Victor’s argument to Robert Walton that achieving knowledge is dangerous and not worth the many sacrifices it entails.

Although Victor may have had good intentions, I disagree with his warning to Robert Walton simply…

success in the year of its publication and was a finalist for multiple awards. The book takes place in a dystopian future where humans have been killed off by a deadly man-made virus, and through a series of flashbacks from the sole survivor readers are told of what had taken place. It transports readers from a post apocalyptic world where a man named Snowman (the remaining human) is living as a protector of a species of bioengineered people -- called the 'children of Crake' or 'Crakers' -- to…

Most people have similar ideas that if you see something and you can do something, then you should. However, some believe that it is one’s obligation to always do everything they can to help. Singer, Nager, and Young all discuss different types of personal responsibility. I support Singer’s argument the most, but to a slightly lesser extent. Singer writes about the idea that…

It seems to me those who advocating singularity is actually playing up the omnipotent potential of human being; a behavior reminds me of “Playing God." Singularity does provide a seemingly dazzling and infinite future of human being, but the truth is that human knows it better than any other creature that nature state of life is struggling due to limited amounts of power. For example, the reason why people love SiFi is that they…
