Research on video game culture has highlighted its social nature as Hand and Moore (2006) have argued for the consideration of video gamers as a ‘community’, while it has been traditionally suggested that gaming is an ‘anti-social’ activity, ethnographic research suggests that gaming is formed in the context of existing social and cultural networks, friendships as well as relationships (Rutter & Bryce, 2006). Hand and Moore’s (2006) concept or ‘enunciative production’ relies on the formulation…

Since the dawn of time, societies have argued about the origins of true knowledge and whether it was a gift brought forth by a divine power or a direct consequence of self-discovery. Through, the ages, many notable writers such as Plato and Bacon provided their own views on the source of knowledge. In his short story the “Allegory of the cave”, Plato claims that by identifying our identities and breaking through the barriers created by our false perception, we will be able to access that source…
In this essay I will discuss how the power of drama and theatre affected the Renaissance. I intend to go through the changes of the theatre at this time, and how these changes came about.

What I experienced was Tartarus on earth. The Nazi’s who imprisoned us were sadistic and terrible. The smell of death hung in the air, bodies dangled by ropes tied around their necks, nowhere was safe, and hope was a thing long abandoned. Jews were nothing, less than dogs. In the camps, there was no humanity or hope. My captors were cold and many enjoyed our torture. Women, children, men, it mattered not to the Nazis who received punishment. Only the strong or skilled had any chance at survival,…

A life course in today’s typical gen industrial world is preeminently structured. It includes the age based transitions recorded and legitimized by the state which further authenticate certain…
