Estates at Risk Thirteenth century England demonstrated a perfect model of feudalism. The hereditary elite (the second estate) maintained its rule over an impoverished peasantry (the third estate), while the clergy (the first estate) held sway over all levels of society, setting moral standards and guiding the affairs of kings and serfs alike. However, as the 13th century came to a close, the durability of this rigid social order was about to be tested. A series of crises in 14th century…

The way we expect them to go out and better themselves is like telling a lawn mowing company to cut grass without a lawn mower. You simply need the tools for success. One of the major blows to success is we strip felons of their utility and mobility. African Americans are more likely to enter the system and felons are at heavy disadvantages, so we can expect the cycle to…

The automotive industry is dominated by five key players General Motors, Chrysler, Ford Motor Co, Toyota Motor Co, and Honda Motor Co. The majority of the markets shares are divided up respectively between these five giants. This makes this industry an oligopoly, since not one company has full control over the market. When talking about the way profits are measure we turn to the GDP. The GDP, gross domestic product, is the total market value of all goods and service summed together in the course…

Never Let a Moment Pass We live our lives being told what to do and when and where to be, we are molded from day one by our parents. Many of us spent half of our childhood thinking of the day we would be free from their grasp. As the middle child of seven that day could not come soon enough. All the while not realizing that the man who raised me even in his mistakes wouldn’t always be there, he wouldn’t always remain the same. I took his health, and life for granted always believing that he…

In life, most people set their goals to endeavor so they can fulfill them. However, once those goals are met, people are not as happy as they expected to be. The theme of the corruption of the American Dream in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, is the greed in his characters lives. This may be used to show how corrupted the American Dream gets when people let it consume them. This can explicitly be seen through the characters: Jay Gatsby and Myrtle Wilson. In the novel, Myrtle Wilson is…

Terms of Endearment is a movie that follows the relationship between a mother and daughter. From childhood to adulthood viewers can watch the characters grow and change. They developed their qualities while still being themselves. I find this movie to be very good because it is very relatable. Most people have a mom that they might not get along with all the time, like in the movie. Although they fight they always seem to come back together and make up. It´s hard to stay mad at your mom for long…

The subject of suburbia and its’ association with the ‘Australian Dream’ has historically been a source of negative discourse amongst social commentators and other intellectuals , as well as artists. In order to explore the complexities of what the concept of suburbia entails, a clear definition must be established. The Oxford dictionary defines a suburb as that an outlying district of a city, especially a residential one and suburbia as the suburbs or their inhabitants viewed collectively.…

A Wing and a Prayer Small northern communities are tight knit. It’s not that everybody knows everybody else’s business, but everybody is conscious who has not come back from the trap line come dark, whose boats are out on the lake on a windy day, and what flying conditions are like as they listen for that unmistakable drone of a returning Otter or Beaver. Often people will gather and go out to wistfully search the horizon for comforting signs of their loved ones. Such was the case one heavily…

The connection, “Friendship can overcome anything” is a pattern that happens throughout all the films that I have studied. This happens in the films: The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas directed by Mark Herman and is a Drama film/Film adaptation, Remember the Titans directed by Boaz Yankin and is a Sport/Drama film, and Tomorrow When the War Began directed by Stuart Beattie is a Drama film/Action film and Stand by me by Rob Reiner is a comedy/action/adventure. In the film The Boy in the Stripped…
