The film, The Lives of Others, portrays an example of how human beings are in conflict with other human beings simply because they have no understanding of the lives of others. The main character of the movie, Stasi Captain Gerd Wiesler, seemed to change his views throughout the film constantly simply because he became aware of the lives of others. There are many scenes in the movie in which Wiesler’s actions would be considered moral on Kantian grounds. For instance, Wiesler’s character starts…

Nicholas Carr, author of the essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” argues that, since society is now so used to quick, easy answers, it makes it hard to read long articles. He says that people do not have the attention span or due to the large usage of the internet to find out whatever information that they need. Google is viewed as the internet’s high church, and people find all of the answers to their questions there instead of in books and articles. Google and technology is making it harder as…

yellow, which represents the foreshadowing of insanity. An example would be in the opening scene, an extreme wide shot of Jack driving his yellow car on the mountain side. From this we already see a man with some problems. The yellow paper for the typewriter is instrument use that displays his descent to madness.
