Stimulus To arrive to my question, one stimulus source which inspired me to research the effects of drugs on humans comes from the Looking Glass, where the use of psychedelic drugs is evident in Alice. For example, upon entering the looking glass, she describes her encounters “the pictures on the wall next the fire seemed to be all alive, and the very clock on the chimney-piece had got the face of a little old man, and it grinned at her”(Carroll, 2016).

Teenage mothers are often both shown in film as immature, careless, and stupid. These traits make for a movie in which it is easy to create drama and conflict, two necessities for any movie. While Juno has both of these necessary plot devices the title character Juno, played by Ellen Page, has none of the negative qualities expected of a pregnant sixteen year old. Juno gives a fresh take on this trope while Director Jason Reitman gives the viewer a measure of respect with the assumption that he…

viewpoints on technology. For example, previous generations are most likely to go to their own parents for guidance.

The experiments ranged from endurance tests of the human body to brutal and sadistic medical procedures. Today, modern scientists question the morality of using data found in these coerced studies.

Unemployment has always been an issue in America, and according to young Americans, politicians are trying to solve it in ways that simply won’t work. The cliché solutions coming from both parties are tax-cuts and stimulus, but millennials are opposing these solutions. In fact, these young Americans have developed many proposals of what can be done to help solve the unemployment crisis, rather than what most politicians are currently proposing. These proposals are stated, explained, and analyzed…

A frequent question asked in The Handmaids Tale is if the needs of society should be allowed to trump the rights of the individual. The Historical Notes highlight the fact that the Giledean society was going through extreme pressures and so had to take severe precautions since their population was shrinking and they would disappear. Women were marginalized from society and valued only for their viable ovaries as it was a solution to their problems. The leaders of this new institution have…
