The Cure

What if I told you I have the cure for anger? Well, that’s what the philosopher Seneca would explain to you so matter of factly as simple as pessimism or lowering your expectations. Seneca stated, “Though the terrain of frustration may be vast--from a stubbed toe to an untimely death--at the heart of every frustration lies a basic structure: the collision of a wish with an unyielding reality” (de Botton,80). Seneca’s philosophy implies, to not go so far as living your life catastrophizing,…

I believe the U.S should provide more funding for Cures and genetic research because If the Government provided more funding more scientist would be hired making research faster…

our world has been injected with the technology of the future. In many ways this can be great, however there is always a catch. In both The Death Cure and The Pedestrian we learn that a technology enhanced future can deprive us of our freedom. Both stories show a longing for a world that is not infected with the technology. On page 289 of The Death Cure, Thomas goes back to the glade he once called home. “He was a Runner again and despite everything it felt good.” The previous statement shows…

your mind that the Food and Drug Administration are hiding the cure for cancer? Even better, keeping it a secret from millions of people. In this essay it is going to talk about the reasons why they are keeping the cure hidden. One reason why the FDA is keeping it a secret is because they do not want to give out the way that they can cure cancer. Also, why would they give the cure out when they make billions of money? By keeping the cure hidden more money will still be brought in, which is…

The care and the cure of a person is a debate that has been going on for a long time. Many people have different opinions on why one is more important than the other. One model is associated with the physician, while the other model is associated with nurses. But, in the medical field both models are important. This ongoing debate will continue for many years to come. The cure model often associated with physicians; is very important to the medical field. The physician has rigorous…

The Cure Wincing from the rays of the sun beating down on me, I awoke to my father yelling from the downstairs kitchen. “Come quickly or you’re going to be late to school.” I flew down the stairs of our modest Californian home with great rapidity. Looking at the breakfast that my father had prepared, I saw a picture of my mother and my insides began to swirl around. My mother had died when I was five in a battle with breast cancer. Every year My Dad and I make a big breakfast in order to…

Cure Violence www.cureviolence.org Cure Violence is an organization founded by epidemiologist Gary Slutkin. Dr. Slutkin spent a decade in underdeveloped countries, fighting epidemic diseases. When he returned to the US, he’d all but forgotten what it was like to have running water, and adjustable temperature in the home. He also had no news of the US, so he found it both dismaying and compelling to hear about the rampant violence in some parts of the US, most especially in Chicago, Illinois. As…

The ideal cure should be rapid; therefore the ideal cure should arise fast and take the least possible time. There is no ideal time for an optimal cure; it depends upon the individual case. In an acute disorder, a little number of days might be the ideal time. While in a functional chronic case of not much duration and having no acute miasms, a few weeks or few months might be ideal. When pathologies have fully developed with active miasmatic states, annually recurring diseases, or with…

The Cure Diseases intrigue me. I love to analyze them, understand the symptoms that define them, but most importantly, discover if and how the ailment can be cured. From childhood to adulthood I have noticed a disease I have personally diagnosed as African American Dystrophy; characterized by the weakening, degeneration, or abnormal development of a people. A disease that has metastasized my community, appearing benign in its beginning stages, but growing malignant and life-threatening with…

lingering, uncertain dread. For the purpose of this paper, I will look at the film, The Cure (1997) to explore the concept of Freud’s ‘uncanny’. I intend to look at how the film deploys the concept of ‘uncanny’ in a two-pronged approach: how the narrative sets up the trope of ‘uncanny’ and how the film addresses the ‘uncanny’ cinematically to evoke an affective experience for the audience. Kyoshi Kurosawa’s The Cure narrates a story of a detective trying to solve a series of murders which…
