Monotonous Perfection: A Closer Look into Ozu’s Early Films Because of the reinvention or the addition to the form of non-linear narrative in a film, Yasujiro Ozu is considered one of the Japanese greatest director. The first impression his films give is that his subjects are the Japanese Family and the stoic construction of the patriarchal figure of the father as a pillar of the Japanese identity. However, I wonder what one can discover if Ozu’s early works are paralleled and scrutinized with…

The resurrection of Christ is one of the largest hot button topics in the field of Christian Apologetics and the field of New Testament criticism. Dr. Gary Habermas, arguably the foremost voice on Christian Resurrection, said, “Over the last two years, I have tracked more than twelve hundred publications on the subject of the resurrection of Jesus. Each source appeared between 1975 and the present, with the vast majority written by critical scholars.” The article that this was quoted from was…

When selecting a drug testing firm, the AMA strongly suggests that companies use labs that are certified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) (Sorohan 113). Following the NIDA guidelines will ensure that the tests are evaluated accurately. Once the employer receives the results from the drug test, the applicants or employee is evaluated based solely on whether or not he or she passed the test. If an applicant passes the test, he or she may continue on through the application process…

During the Russian Civil War (1918-1923) between the Red Army (Bolsheviks) and White Army (counter-revolutionaries), the Soviet Union experienced two vastly differing economies, both incredibly significant for the country. The earlier of the two economic policies - War Communism - was more of a purist’s communism, whereas the later reforms - the New Economic Policy - were a more socialist view on Russia’s economy, which the Bolsheviks were forced to impose due to loss of widespread public…

However prior to doing this, I would look to justify the aim, objectives and scope by conducting an environmental and organisational analysis (using tools such as SWOT analysis, PERT and Gantt planning tools, cost benefit analysis, resource audits, risk registers etc). I would consider the need for a Project Charter; however the Scope Statement would also contain similar information and given the nature of this assignment, might be considered overkill. I would conduct a full risk assessment.…

Influence of Norse Mythology and Christian Values on Tolkien’s Views of Good and Evil The most prevalent theme in John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s legendarium is the recurring battle between good and evil. The moral struggle between good and evil has been recorded and demonstrated in nearly all cultures, including Norse mythology and Tolkien’s personal philosophy, heavily influenced by his Christian upbringing.
