is the true nature of human self-expression? Perhaps, in the realm of art, there are those who use it purely for self-expression, those who force it through inorganic processes and formulas, and those who exploit it for materialistic desires. In Patrick Suskind’s…

There are several female role models that have influenced not only their contemporaries, but also future generations, but none have left such a long-lasting impression than Jaqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis. Jackie, born on July 28, 1929, was not only noted for her style and elegance but also for being the wife of the thirty-fifth president, John F. Kennedy.

One of the reasons “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanly was a very entertaining play was because of its text elements. The play was about a morally wrong issue at a New York religious school that took place in the 1960’s.

Before watching the movie, I believe that Father Flynn is guilty of something, but not necessarily rape/sexual assault. He could have sinned in a different way or done some other wrongdoing, and that could be the reason he was acting so sketchy. If I was in a court of law, however, I would say he’s innocent because there is not enough solid evidence to prove that he is guilty. His reactions to the accusations and past history with multiple parishes does make me suspect he is guilty of something,…

The location of where the speech is being given is also a major factor when it comes to what the speaker’s pitch and tone and how the audience would…

The Progression of Personal Responsibility The duty for individuals to demonstrate personal responsibility is a theme that is not new to human culture. Biblical principles imply the fact that human creation possesses the freedom to act however they please. However, this freedom is accompanied with consequential results dependent on how the individual chooses to live. In another era, young Greek boys were taken away from the comfort of their mothers at the age of seven and expected to begin a…
