1600’s where alcohol abuse was first spotted (“History of Alcohol”), and it has only worsened since then. Today, alcohol is the most commonly used drug in Canada; as a result, it is considered to be one of the most harmful drugs (Herie & Skinner, 2010, p.18). Since alcohol is embedded into our culture so seamlessly, almost all creative media portray it. The film discussed in this paper will be Betty Thomas’ 28 Days, and with the help of the Biopsychosocial model, we can explore, in depth, the…

our own worlds to support ourselves throughout life. Some occasions, people, places, and things come to have special meanings, special emotional feelings. These are our bonds, to ourselves, to our past, and to the future. When something gives pleasure, when it becomes a part of our lives, and when the way we interact with it helps define our place in society and in the world, then we have love.” (Norman, 2004,…

it makes people feel. The lamb is meek, giving the sense of happiness, joy, and pleasure which makes people feel the best out of life. As the Tyger is seen having fiery eyes and burning bright. It is hard to understand how our creator could have created a creature like this. “Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright / In the forests of the night, / What immortal hand or eye / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?” (Blake, 2006, p.690) It’s as if the tiger was created from fire and looked at as a bad thing,…

Jersey Shoreline (Sherry & Martin, 2014, p. 1273, 1279). This series, which began in 2009, quickly gained prominence in pop culture. “Jersey Shore: Part Fantasy, Part Train Wreck, Cloaked in Neoliberalism” by Mark Sherry and Katie Martin explores the aspects of the Jersey Shore that attribute to the show’s success. Sherry and Martin (2014) argue that a “neoliberal hedonistic lifestyle” - a lifestyle that thrives on individual freedom and the pursuit of pleasure - acts as the platform of Jersey…

Mata shares her story about her interest in children and spiritual healing. She claimed, “I was seven at the time, and I cannot remember a time thereafter in which I did not continue to ponder, reflect, and search for spiritual answers” (Mata, 2014, p. 112). Many people view spiritual healing in many ways. For example, whenever I try to mediate during yoga I try to find my inner peace through myself and God. Even though I have trouble mediating because my mind is always racing with thoughts I…

Understanding the difference between justice and injustice from both philosophers’ ideologies includes: “What sorts of actions are they concerned with? What sort of mean is justice? What are the extremes between which justice is intermediate?” (V.1, p. 67). Any kind of torture that could be expressed upon another person would be in relation to the concept of justice by both Aristotle and Mill. One must understand each philosopher’s point of view on justice, what is considered to be “just”, what…

What this essay will intend to do is to look into what might be characterised as sublime within contemporary art, what ideas and emotions are evoked by this description. Firstly aiming to define what the sublime is and then using three examples of contemporary art to analyse how these works may be seen as sublime. The Oxford dictionary definition of sublime is ‘Of great excellence or beauty’ (Oxford University Press, 2017). This definition could suggest that the sublime is of great quality or…

liberation or as Sona exclaimed, live in Nibbana (Davids, 2012, p. 165), directly challenges the argument that it is impossible for a female to become a Buddha. While none of the nuns in the Thi become Buddhas, the attainment of Arahantship shows that gender presented no barriers to achieve liberation. The misogynistic idea that women are unable to attain Buddhahood because of their nature of defilement and weak intelligence (Willis, 1985, p. 69) contradicts the Elders’ experiences. For…

maximum length, erecting his own penis to its maximum length. Arcus’s cheeks were blushing bright red as he felt himself completely lost in the sensation, he no longer resisted Kozlov’s advancements, instead, he embraced it, moaning and purring in pleasure as he felt they were close to climaxing. Kozlov at that moment was pushing deeper and deeper, eventually his penis struck the soft spot in Arcus and ejaculated his semen. Torrents of semen and sperms shoot out of Kozlov’s penis and flood the…

spy on her. This unlocked more of John’s character because he began to do this for his own satisfaction and pleasure. While John was in Vietnam he wrote to Kathy comparing their love to a pair of snakes that consume each other, “a bizarre circle of appetites that brought the heads closer and closer until one of the men in the Charlie Company used a machete to end it… one plus one equals zero” (p.61). This symbolized the ability that love can consume individuals until there is ultimately nothing…
