The Blow

Torture is by its very nature, a touchy subject. The act of extorting information through pain strips a person of their inalienable dignity. Because of this the subject should not be taken lightly. Therefore it is important however to think logically about what torture is doing. A hypothetical situation it can make this easier to depict. Since it is such a heavy decision to harm a human being the long term effects must be considered. Also the legitimacy of the information must also be considered…

In the Medieval tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, we meet the heroic Sir Gawain, who is faced with a very important quest. He was put up to a very particular test during the Christmastide that he fears will cost him his life. As a knight though, he is bound by the knight virtues to keep his word or troth. Troth being in medieval literature, the fidelity to one’s own word no matter what shall happen. The idea of Troth is the central focus of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. During the…

Nolan: The actions of the convicts in the decision to not blow up the civilian ferry would concur with this line of thought. They chose to forego their own lives in preference for the civilians in acknowledgement of their past errors to society. Socrates: We have discussed the ethical issue of taking blame…

Waterloo, of course, was the final blow that would dismantle Napoleon and his army. It is difficult to select just one battle as the most significant since the end result is dependent on the outcome of each battle. Without one of the three, the final outcome might have been quite a bit different than what it was. However, for the sake of taking a side, I will choose the Battle of Borodino as the most significant. My reasoning is that it was this battle that delivered the blow to Napoleon’s army…

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain is described as a perfect embodiment of Solomon’s Pentangle. Before Sir Gawain rides off to receive the Green Knight’s blow, he has the Pentangle painted onto his shield. All five points of the pentangle on Sir Gawain’s shield symbolize a virtue of a perfect knight. They are the Five senses/wits, the five fingers, the five wounds of Christ, the five joys of Mary, and the 5 virtues; generosity, sociability, courtesy, piety and purity. Many critics…

Then came a few more weeks and I found myself hanging out with a different group of girls but, I raced to the locker room to change just before I walk in I heard some of the girls saying” Whoever can go the longest without talking to Bri wins, and the loser has to give everyone $20!” I Though that all this would blow of in a couple weeks but, the gossiping about me didn’t seem to go away like I had…

Dr. Bennet Omalu is the forensic pathologist credited with the discovery of the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, (CTE). Omalu first came into contact with CTE when he was working at the Pittsburgh coroner's office, when he was tasked with performing the autopsy on famous Steelers center Mike Webster.

wants to be just like Pete and would do anything he said. But Pete just tries to take advantage of Sucker in the story and doesn’t really act like he cares. And he had times where he would blow up on Sucker for no reason. For example, in the text Sucker asks Pete “Why aren’t we buddies?” and for no reason, Pete blows up and replies to Sucker “Because you’re the dumbest slob I ever saw! Nobody cares about you!” And I think Pete reacting this way is ridiculous considering Sucker doesn’t really…
