    films, Survival of the Dead isn't actually all that bad. It's a far better film than its predecessor Diary of the Dead, at least in my opinion. Returning the standard third person perspective and adopting a more humorous approach, Survival isn't a seemingly endless slog. The films tone is probably the lightest of the Dead films, which at times does push over the border of funny, to simply camp pander. Though we also get a slew of like-able, though not often relate-able characters. Survival…

If it was tolerable then, it should be tolerable now. Nothing has altered. People think of hunting as animal abuse. They think that the animals had a chance at survival and living a…

    wrong, and what is truly real. Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah, and Night, by Elie Wiesel, all show the changes of the mind and the people around them that push them to survive. These books demonstrate that survival can result in a major change in a human’s behavior in order for them to survive. When surviving, the mind tends to forget the moral character it once had, making it not rationalize as it would before. In the book Lord of the Flies, written by…

    Funniest Game of the Year, Kudos… I think that we can all agree that, for a long time now, the word “horror” has been losing its meaning throughout all kinds of media and entertainment, mostly because of the incredibly infamous “jumpscares” and lack of creativity when it comes to build up tension with the player/viewer. So, when I saw Albino Lullaby (a game that brags about its inventive methods of horror, and how it promises to be a horror game without jumpscares nor gore) I was pretty excited,…

    Rock art can be viewed as part of everyone’s cultural heritage or as part of a specific groups’ cultural heritage. It is this difference of thought that can cause much debate on who should have access to and how to manage rock art sites. One way to ensure that the heritage is preserved regardless of what happens to the rock art itself is to record the stories that go along with the art. “Collecting and archiving [stories], with due respect for the traditional owners and in accordance with their…

    money for the needy “If they would rather die they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population” (Dickens 16). This quote will later come back to haunt Scrooge when he is introduced to Tiny Tim by the second spirit. Another example, of the survival of the fittest theory, is when Scrooge displays his coldness to his nephew, who stops by to visit him, on Christmas Eve by saying, “What right have you to be merry?

In order to ensure that Britain was composed of only hardworking, motivated, and intelligent people, Spencer and other Social Darwinists…
