Out of the Silent Planet

Ken Winston, a member of the Nebraskan Sierra Club—an environmental group—boldly opposes the pipeline stating it will be one of the most, “environmentally destructive activities on the planet”(as cited in Sachs, 2014). This statement shows that environmentalists have no desire in seeing the pipeline built. They also have concern regarding the use of the pipeline—if it is built. A major concern is that “TransCanada forecasted the pipeline…

killed the Jewish people because he was running out of time so he used the final solution to try to end Jewish people’s existent and wipe them off the planet. Hitler took charge by using his iron fist to scare politicians away a good quote from him is “All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic…

The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis are novels based on lectures given by the author that pursue the theme of man lacking empathy. Within the first book, The Abolition of Man, Lewis describes the importance of basing all judgments we make on what he calls the Tao: the conception of human behavior that, historically and in different moral traditions, has been considered good. As an emotion is not a judgment, it can be said that emotions and feelings do not respond to…

tool in terms of allowing the audience member to reflect on their time online and in person, potentially exposing some of the hypocrisies that they see or participate in. For example, witnessing characters starting with Bianca begin to chew and spit out food is truly absurd. The tagline however rings shockingly true to many fad diets “There are no calories in taste.” This grounds the audience and allows them to reflect on their own lives. What kinds of diets have they been pulled into because of…

continues on to Jupiter alone, once there he discovers orbiting between Io and Jupiter, a dark, vertical slab, identical to the Tycho monolith, except this one is nearly 2 kilometers long. Dr. Bowman decides to investigate closer by piloting an EVA pod out to examine the gigantic monolith. But as he gets nearer, Dr. Bowman’s pod is sucked into the monolith‘s opaque interior, which is actually a massive Star…

supposed to do in this world. And if you take a few steps back from your daily routine, away from the people around you, and away from all the noise that surrounds you, you will be able to connect to that side of you that knows why you’re here on this planet, what the purpose of your life is and what the reason of your existence is. 5. You learn how to become who you are and not who the world thinks you should be. “There is a voice inside of you that whispers all day long, “I feel this is…

“2001: A Space Odyssey'' is in many respects a silent film. There are few conversations that could not be handled with title cards. Much of the dialogue exists only to show people talking to one another, without much regard to content (this is true of the conference on the space station). Ironically, the dialogue containing the most feeling comes from HAL, as it pleads for its “life'' and sings “Daisy.'' The film creates its effects essentially out of visuals and music. It is meditative. It…

The Maharaja opted for a temporary accession with India and as such many cases of treasons were filed against the Shiekh Abdullah for his Quit Kashmir movement by the Govt. of India. With the help of Mahatma Gandhi & Jawaharlal Nehru, all the cases were withdrawn for which Sheikh Abdullah supported the accession of Kashmir with India. Pakistan, with the help of Qabailie Jihadies, sent its troops in 1948 to Kashmir and annexed 3/4th of its territory. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru took the matter to U.N.O…

books, art, and literature. However, Lennard proved himself to be very skillful in bypassing questions of the little incompetent inquisitor about Cai, but Ana-Maria soon found out Lennard loved talking about his youth. He would drift in and out of his memories, smiling from time to time, as if the stories he told were played out in front of his eyes. His youth was inseparable from I get what you mean, but I think this is the wrong way to describe this . . . the years he spent with Cai’s father,…

my spiritual life "complete" there, but for the past couple months, I have figured out that when I have a discussion or to describe myself spiritually, I will just come out and say I do not want to have a label on me. I now respect all religions and all the ways that humanity has came to seek and find higher powers. I personally think the power is us, and that the real thing that is important is keeping the planet as healthy as it can be for as long as it can be. Now to how I imagine the Holy…
