Anyone could soar to higher stars than they believe, but very few have the extra spark…

Wag the Dog, a political satire film, steps into a world where constructed and inter-subjective ideas are incredibly important. The film explores how ideas are constructed and how these ideas become reality through the acceptance by the masses and is an excellent demonstration of how identities, interests and institutions are inter-subjectively constructed. In the film, the president of the United States is up for re- election, however, a “Firefly” girl accuses him of sexual misconduct with…

How one defines their own reality speaks loudly of a person’s character. People are always attempting to decipher the riddle of “illusion vs. reality”, but have never come to a consensus on the issue. These opposing ideas stem from the way we distinguish what is real and what is not, which all relies on our own self-perception. In William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, the characters struggle with recognizing the deception that has managed to intertwine itself into their lives. The…

One’s reality is comprised of beliefs based on the truths that make up their everyday life. Holistically, this is the precise structure of a worldview. In a worldview, it only set to explain the secular perspective of our lives, therefore, it fails to provide a revelation of who we are in God. It describes our behavior, emotions, cognitive processes and actions, but only to…

line...and erase it.” In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by Shakespeare, the fine line between reality and dreams is truly tested. In the first four acts, dreams influence one’s mind and imagination takes over the characters’ minds. From fairies to unimaginable love interests, it is obvious that one is not in reality.

Throughout life any people are faced with various things that may hold them back. They may not even be aware that they are forced to see things the way that they are. They do not understand that the so called reality around them is not even close to the way things really are. Examples of everyday people having their own set of caves, shackles and shadows are in the books “Choosing a Life Map” by M. Scott Peck, “The Allegory of the Cave” by Plato, and “Salvation” by Langston Hughes. Shackles,…
