“Draco,” Hermione said, “If we are going to move in together, I refuse to have an house-elf. Unless we are paying them, it is not happening.” Draco sighed and rubbed his temples. How many times would they have this conversation? How many times would he have to explain to her that it was far too difficult to find a house elf that wants money? “Hermione, we’ve gone over this. You’re being too emotional.” “So? There is no problem with me being emotional when I know that another living creature,…

I chose to study the famous Silver Spring Monkeys case, which is one of the biggest animal- rights cases to ever happen and the first to be brought to the U.S Supreme Court. It involves the highly acclaimed animals-rights group PETA and Dr. Edward Taub from the Institute of Behavioral Research. During May of 1981 in Silver Spring, Maryland, Alex Pacheco of the animals-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) went undercover as someone looking for a job at the Institute…

Although not all the codes he experiences are the best, Jim gains an experience so that he too could form his own code of conduct on his own, someday. One of the codes of conduct Jim experiences is that of the pirates. In the story, Captain Long John Silver is a wonderful example of piracy and…

Long John Silver. In this scene in the novel he is seen as a ruthless evil man, due to the fact of him killing an innocent man. In the movie however, John Silver is portrayed as a man that wants to be redeemed and no visible evil traits are seen, just Silver’s immoral actions. This proves that although the movie, Treasure Island, is based off of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, slight changes can greatly impact the portrayal of a character. In this case, based on this scene, John Silvers…

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, is a beloved tale that people of all ages have loved for its emotional and moral appeal. It is a story focusing on the life of Ebenezer Scrooge, a greedy and cold-hearted money-lender, who is visited by four ghostly apparitions who convince him together to change his merciless ways. At the beginning of this tale, Scrooge does not recognize the effects of his greed, so the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future take it upon themselves to show him how…

of clicks later, I discovered the test was not developed by Oxford University at all, but by L. Ron Hubbard followers Julian Lewis and Ray Kemp in the 1950s. Rubbished by many psychology organisations as manipulative and unethical, the Oxford Capacity Analysis is not even scientifically recognised. Phew, I guess. From all reports, the test usually produces a disturbing negative assessment. L. Ron Hubbard advocated reinforcing the “ruin” of the subject’s personality, followed by advice on…

Once L.Ron Hubbard gained a sense of trust with people he took the ball and ran with it. In others, he became innovating much different from Wovoka’s legit causes to help the Paiute people; L.Ron Hubbard was after the member's pockets. The Church of Scientology made people undergo Auditing to achieve becoming clear. Auditing is expensive for what it is, as it is an Electropsychometer that is able to show the small increments in the electrical resistance of a person. An individual would hold two…

Comparison of Scientologists and Manichaeans A constant through much of the known history of human civilization has been the attempt to understand and explain the unknown. This ranges from what lies underground to the vastness of the universe that lies behind the sky and even explores how the world came to be as well as what happens after a person dies. A common explanation for these questions have been rooted in different religions throughout time and different regions of the world.…

The “whys of conformity” demonstrate why the Church of Scientology has been so successful in gaining new members and keeping indoctrinated members. Specifically, they help explain why people are motivated to conform to the church’s ideals. The group locomotive hypothesis, consistency theory, and the hedonistic hypothesis provide reasoning to understand how the church gains and keeps its members. I will examine how each of these theories/hypotheses play a role in “Going Clear”. The group…

United States, therefore if Scientology is not found as a religion it should then lose its tax exemption once again. This grey line could be eliminated if religion was taxed in the separation of church and state. Scientology was created by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer, in the 1950s. The Church of Scientology has a substantial amount of science base…
