The Big Four

One film I watched is called The Big Lebowski. In the beginning a guy is opening a milk carton at the supermarket. I felt the leading character is a rebel because he does what he wants. If it were me I wouldn’t have imagine myself doing that. When the male character comes home and he ends up getting his head stuffed through the toilet. He happens to owe money to some guy and the “guy” end up peeing on his rug out of nowhere. I felt surprised of how the scene went from relax to serious tone.…

same. However, cosmic consciousness is not a priority on Earth, and very few are trying to achieve it. According to astrophysics, all the matter existing in the universe today came from a single infinitesimally dense point that expanded after the Big Bang explosion. Although the atoms that make up all matter, including life, are continually being flung further apart in an ever-expanding universe, they were a…

Small businesses are vital to the success of the economy. Each year brings more national chains displacing locally-owned businesses throughout the country. We see big business chains replace unique establishments all the time. Over 90 percent of businesses are considered small businesses. Not only do they provide success for the future, but also because they meet local needs (i.e. hairdresser, financial consultant, plumber). Small businesses benefit both the economy and consumers because they…

heroes in the books and films we watch. They tend to be strong, moral and exciting characters that men look up to. Therefore, these texts carry a lot of weight in terms of the reflection of society and the male perspective on life. Using the novel The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler and the film High Noon directed by Fred Zinnemann, this paper will argue that there are certainly element within the texts that both support and counter the claim that the pervasive American male fantasy is life…

the universe and how it began. These are the steady state and The Big Bang theory. Both theories have an explanation on how our Universe is, how it began and how it works. Both theories have stuff in common but also have many differences that could completely change the way we look at the Universe. The Big Bang Theory has much more evidence supporting it, while the Steady State Theory has been proven wrong. Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory first started from Hubble’s discovery of the…

you will be just as big and bright as me! Moon: Okay, when you come to visit me, you will be quite surprised with all my wonderful features! Yes, I may be small compared to planets, but I can be just as cool as them! I do have gravity, just not a lot. Compared to your home, Earth, I have about a sixth Earth's gravity. So when you walk, it will feel weird but it is so much fun! It's like you are on a giant trampoline! My surface is covered in thousands of craters, some big and some small.…

Fate: Discussing the Extent and Purpose of Free Will in Oedipus One of the most multisided philosophical debates can be sparked simply by asking "Are we free?" It's a question that we've been grappling for thousands of years. Sophocles uses Oedipus to ask questions about fate, free will, and how they can possibly exist together. In ancient Greek, the word for fate was Moira, defined by Homer as an impersonal power and sometimes makes its functions interchangeable with those of the Olympian gods.…

predict that if there is enough mater, gravity could eventually stop the expansion of the universe. If the universe stops expanding, it could start collapsing to its original state. This process would be a reverse of what might have happened during the big bang. However, scientists now think that there may not be enough matter in the universe, so the universe will continue to expand forever. Therefore, stars will age and die, and the universe becomes cold and dark after many billion of years.…

mermaids, and giants are all fantastical elements of magic that are present in many genres of fiction but are considered ordinary in magical realism. As Edward Bloom plans to leave town in Tim Burton's film Big Fish, Bloom recalls in his past that a giant was destroying…

The War between Science and Religion “Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the nonexistence of Zeus of Thor – but they have few followers now.” Sir Arthur C. Clarke In the beginning there was nothing: just darkness. Then out of nothing appeared everything. Then there were questions. Why are we? How are we? Why does the world and nature act as it does? What happens when we die? Religion answered these…
