There is no better man to describe Hannibal Lecter than the author himself, Thomas Harris'," …. What is he now? There is not a word for it yet. For lack of a better word we’ll call him a monster” (Harris 331). Since the 20th century, we have been presented with countless adaptations of Harris monster. In 1986, we were shown Manhunter with critics describing Bryan Cox's Hannibal as "laid back and happy to engage in banter"(Sims). Five years later, The Silence of the Lambs came out and Anthony…

Personal Statement #1 Los Angeles. When most people think of LA, they think of the Hollywood sign, movie stars, the pinnacle of pop culture, and beautiful weather year round. What people fail to realize is, what Los Angeles is really made of. Though this world within a world is mostly generalized as LA, it is a pretty broad name that really stands for many small towns or wide areas that make up the city. I come from a small town on the outskirts of Los Angeles called San Pedro. It’s a town…

read today, but I don’t. Junior year kept me busy, so I never had the time to read. I currently have a book fee to pay since I kept a book overdue when I procrastinated one of my history research papers. I still find myself reading poems though. Tumblr was my go-to social media site junior year. I began following a girl who wrote beautiful poems, and even posted a few videos reciting her slam poems. She just recently compiled all of her poems into a book. I thought about buying it, still do,…

I’m laying in my unmade bed, procrastinating on doing the piles of homework I have, scrolling and double-tapping through my Instagram feed on my phone while Facebook is pulled up on my laptop. From the other side of the room I hear my roommate say, “Why doesn’t this picture have more likes? It’s so good!” I’ve always heard older people complaining about how our society has been brainwashed by social media, but as I sat in my bed and looked around me, I finally recognized it to be true,…

Did you know that approximately 41% of transgender people attempt suicide? This number is only approximate because so many transgenders are still “in the closet” about their identity, so in actuality, this number is a lot higher.

Many cisgendered (or people identifying as the gender they were assigned to at…

Autism and the Anti-Vaccine Movement Vaccines are vital to the health of all people. After all, vaccines are designed to protect people from major, and often deadly, diseases. For example, smallpox was a disease that during the twentieth century alone killed ten times as many people as died in World War II. After a worldwide vaccination campaign starting in 1966, smallpox was completely eradicated by 1980 (World health organization). Today, vaccines can prevent many serious illnesses, such as…

Introduction Consumer behaviour has rapidly changed over the last decade. The explosion of various social media platforms has had a profound effect on how the consumer views new products and services. With a touch of a button all the necessary information is available, which impacts how people consume. One of the main reasons for this drastic change is that society and technology evolve faster than our ability to exploit it (Solis, 2015). One of the most prevalent reversals in consumer behaviour…

on with my coworkers, friends, and family. Most of the time while looking through social networks, I would just read through posts, click on random profiles to read a bit about them, and then continue scrolling through the news feeds of Facebook or Tumblr so I would be caught up with current events. In relation to this, I noticed how my information was being tracked by websites as well. In Marwick’s article, she mentions how dataveillance is the collection of information from internet users in…
