The Defining Moment

tortured Sally and Kathleen and gave them a demoralizing fate. The question which appeared was, should we stay and conceal ourselves until they find us, or should we flee to the Fringe’s land in hopes for an opportunity of freedom? Therefore this moment had a profound impact on the story because the bibliophile understands the corruption of the Waknuk society and sees how the group overcomes…

significant theories in film study. However, the theory itself opens some interesting doors in terms of its definition. In an age where self-definition has become more important than ever, it must be discussed that Lacan’s mirror phase is no longer just one moment in the development of young children—it has become a constantly-experienced trait in humans which provides temporary epiphanic experiences to a reader of a text, and should be defined as such. Visual stimuli is the most effective way…

When a moment or an event has a strong outcome it can inspire other…

I was on academic probation for three semesters my sophomore year (12/2009-12/2010). I met with my academic advisor to create a plan of action. I also made an appeal to the dean explaining my situation. This moment in my academic career was due to an accumulation of events. A domestic violence situation occurred the summer before the start of my sophomore year. I was in the middle of that situation for an entire year. Due to the stress from that event I struggled with anxiety and depression. I…

history there has always been a defining pop-culture moment or moments. Billy Joel’s song and video “We Didn’t Start the Fire” encapsulates the events starting at the end of the 1940’s through the 1980’s. The chorus, “We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the world’s been turning. We didn’t start the fire. No, we didn’t light it, but we tried to fight it.” (Joel) sets the premise of the video. The lyrics in the song are rapid fire historical moments while the video shows the…

My interpretation of her realization is that although my name may not mean exactly what I want it to, I have the capacity to create meaning myself. With that said, a crucial, all encompassing, and all defining question comes to fruition. Who will Samuel Van Motman be? Although I can not be certain of exactly what my future will hold, I am confident that my determination will prevail. It’s important, I feel as Melissa Faebos puts it, to remember that “…

Many films throughout history, have not only illuminated some culture’s shortcomings but the strength and ability to deviance in hopes of attaining meritocracy. It is within the arts, films, music and literature that are produced by a culture that researchers can identify the evolution of change from analyzing the micro symbolic interactionism between individuals to the social consensus in the functionalist theory that produces an organic solidarity.

I find Lady Philosophy’s (LP) assessment of divine foreknowledge and the nature of God to be inconsistent with the concept of full free will; her argument is both insufficient and unsatisfactory iff viewed from a position of theological revelation. I argue that revelatory theology necessarily requires either a complete and deliberate predetermination of events or a minimum value of immutable events. While LP’s argument does allow for limited agent free will, it does so only if divine knowledge…
