Violence has been socially constructed to mean different things in different contexts. The film Gladiator falls under the category of violence as entertainment. Back in the times of the gladiatorial games of the Roman Empire, violence was for the entertainment of the people as well, however, that only scratches the surface of violence’s purpose in the Roman Empire. Society in this time period is inundated with violence, to a much greater extent than today, and it plays many roles. Violence…

Emperor Commodus Born on the 31st of August, 161 AD, Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus, later known as Commodus, was the Roman Emperor from 180 AD to 192 AD.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) was a Roman Emperor from about i'll say 161 to about 180. He is until this today still considered one of the most influential and important Stoic philosophers of history. This book from what I have seen is almost like a personal notebook or one could say a diary; hey were not intended to be for publication and along with that he called them a “Writing To Myself”. He died from what is believed to be cancer or a plague, furthermore going into the overall…

When someone hears or reads the word “hero” people tend to start with the thought of a super hero, such as Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Captain America and countless other super heroes. That is fine except you are thinking of super heroes. True heroes don’t have any special ability. This is pointed out quite clearly in Robert Ray’s “The Thematic Paradigm.” Ray also argues that movie heroes that are from an American background can be classified as either official heroes, outlaw heroes, or a…
