In a world where much of what we do and say is based on social rules, at certain points, there is a need to mask what is truly passing through our minds. In Shakespeare’s tragedy, “Hamlet”, it is no different. For Hamlet, since a ghost with the figure of his father showed up to him and revealed that the new king Claudius, his father’s brother, was guilty of his own murder, Hamlet changed his entire perspective about the court and the ones who live in the castle. To worsen the tragedy, his uncle…

Ancient Rome and China, specifically that of the Han dynasty, share some interesting comparisons, although they were miles apart. Rome can be characterized as a militaristic, artistic, and grand in not only its stature but its accomplishments. We take influence from this culture today in many areas such as government, art, and philosophy. Ancient China can be described, similarly, as militaristic, inventive, and spiritual; not to mention, with many of its success still alive today in the forms…

“The future” is that beautiful place where everyone seems to be dreaming about. The future has been a perfect spot for the movies industry. The constantly human’s need to know what our actions and consequences would bring, have been the base for movies like Her, Silent Running, 2001:Space Odyssey and Stranger Days. Putting all the beautiful visual effects and futuristic graphics aside, movies is the best way to travel in time because they show us a visual representation of an upcoming future.…

We rely on the police to protect us from harm and promote fairness and justice in our communities. But racial profiling has led countless people to live in fear, casting entire communities as suspect simply because of what they look like, where they come from, or what religion they belong to. Racial profiling is a form of discrimination and undermines basic human rights and freedoms. It affects a wide array of communities of color. More than 240 years of slavery and 90 years of legalized racial…

Most have heard of Yeshua as man who became a Rabbi, came into conflict with the religious leaders of his day, and died on a cross as an atonement for the sins of the world. However, there is one side of Yeshua that is rarely talked about: his teachings beings considered as revolutionary. Many of the words that he said and the acts that he committed were considered to be unprecedented in his day. From only looking at the Synoptic Gospels, readers will not be able to fully comprehend or grasp how…

What is civil forfeiture? This law is a nationwide procedure; however, Mississippi is considered the worst for encouraging this abuse called policing for profit. It’s a law where police and prosecutors confiscate the private property of an individual who is allegedly suspected of an illegal drug activity but has never been convicted. “What (doth it) profit, my brethren, through a man say he hath faith, and have not works?” (James 2:14 KJV). The state and federal civil asset forfeiture laws,…

Nearing the end of the war there was an influx of killing frenzies, manic death throes, and hundreds of thousands dead, all occurring between 1944-1945. In the beginning of 1944 many Germans still expected to win the war, however, by the end of the year that opinion had changed. Hitler was under assault from the air, from the Red Army in the east, and, after D-day in June, from the Allies in the west. German defeat was looming, yet killing went on in many varied settings; from the extreme death…

From a small city-state to a far-reaching civilization that dominated the vast region of the Mediterranean, Rome’s history includes many endeavors and triumphs in its rise, thrive, and fall throughout its two and a half millennia (2500 years).

Rome was a state in which the people held its supreme…

Christians were persecuted long before Constantine’s reign, starting around 64 A.D. under the authority of Emperor Nero. Religion and the Roman government were very much intertwined at this period, so when Christians began to stray from the standard religion, the government regarded it as a serious offense to their society. The rising faith, different as it was…
