Music And Censorship
... of it like a secret dictatorship, and we breathe as a fascist society, which puts fun and feelings above the Lord, above all. Many of the musicians consist of non-religious people who live only for fun and only for themselves. Why then would we, especially as Christians, put our total devotion in them? It exists like wanting
to ride with a blind driver rather than one with perfect vision. In addition many of the musicians use drugs and stimulants to satisfy their hunger for themselves and for pure fun. The musicians tend to use drugs massively, to get out of the very real world that they consist so much a part of. Popularity seems pleasing but when one has the aff ...

Our Country And The Affect Of Changes
... during the Colonial Period, one evident
example of change is the production of the Declaration of Independence.
The purpose of this document was to declare independence over Britain
(p110). I am convinced that symbolizes change because the Americans wanted
to have a new form of government. They were fed up with the British's way
of running things they decided to take matters into their own hands. By
demanding the British to step aside, they were changing their form of
government, and symbolically, a whole lot more. This document also states
some changes the people wanted to see in their rights(p110-111). This
immediately points to the fact that the Americans ...

Propaganda In Film
... the literature of the American Revolution The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson was the ultimate form of rational propaganda. It was written with the idea of rallying the public around the idea of America as a country and to justify its existence to the world. Examples of literary propaganda include the histories of the French author Voltaire, the pamphlets of the religious reformer Martin Luther, and the works of Karl Marx.
During the First World War, the meaning of the word "Propaganda" and its neutrality changed. With the technological advances with respect to warfare, the traditional methods of recruiting men for the military was not ...

Bladerunner 2
... The feeling of ascension is very stong in the scene. The music, aided by the camera's slow tilt upwards, creates the allusion that Deckard is traveling higher, rising up towards heaven perhaps, as this later ties in with Tyrell being a God-like figure.
Once Deckard is inside, the loud dynamic music changes to the sound of windchimes. The soft ringing sounds are a contrast to the music that is heard as he is approaching. This change in sound is also a contrast to the noise and bustle of the streets, which represents the masses. It enforces the idea that Eldon Tyrell and his corporation are powerful, that they are physically and socially above the 'little people' ...

African Art
... to the SAN (Bushman) people. Masks and fetishes are
often used to scare off bad things such as evil spirits, witches or
ghosts. They are also used to bring about a desired end-break a bad
habit, improve ones love life, or kill a natural or supernatural
enemy.
There are three basic themes of African art. The first is the
dualism between bush and village. African tribes wear masks and
headresses: the male is represented by the elephant, the most powerful
of bush creatures and the female is delicately coiffed to express
refinement and civilization. The second theme of African art is the
problematic relationships between the se ...

The Great Depression
... capsize.
The "roaring twenties" as it was called was an era when our country prospered tremendously. The nation's total income gain rose from 74.3 billion dollars in 1023 to 89.00 billion dollars in 1929.
Though most Americans are aware of in 1929, few know of the many Americans who lost their homes, life savings and jobs.
In the 1920's, after World War 1, danger signals were apparent, that was coming. A major cause of the Depression was that the pay of workers did not increase at all. Because of this they couldn't afford manufactured goods. While the factories were still manufacturing goods, Americans weren't able to afford them and the factories made litt ...

Click Vs Brick: An Exploration Of Mp3 File Sharing And Onlin
... a very real threat to both musicians and record companies alike. In response Napster was sued by the American heavy metal band Metallica, and then taken to court by The Recording Industry Association of America; where they were subsequently ordered to cease operating. Despite this verdict, many similar companies such as Grokster and Kazaa continue to offer file-sharing facilities and provide free access to copyrighted music.
There are numerous arguments originating from all sides of the debate. Many of these are mutually exclusive and, therefore, cannot all be substantiated. McDougall (2000) published an article online, in which he summates the main argument ...

The End Of The 20th Century
... seen many things, good and bad. Millenium moments such as in 1095 when the first Crusades began. In 1271 Marco Polo headed for China. In 1347 the Bubonic Plaque swept through Europe killing 30 million. In 1776, British colonies in America declared independence. The 1800's saw America begging to come together. Thomas Jefferson completed the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and 3 years later Lewis and Clark finished exploring the western US. Gold was discovered in California in 1848. The first half of the 20th century saw both WWI AND WWII. Unforgettable names like George Washington, Beethoven, Mozart, Thomas Edison, Christopher Columbus, Martin Luther King Jr., ...

Should The USA Have Dropped The Atomic Bomb On Japan?
... and incendiary bombs have been dropped on Japanese cities. Despite heavy casualties and heavy damage, Japan continues to resist showing more damage has to be done in order to get a surrender. This also shows conventional weapons are not proving to be effective and something more potent is required. The tremendous shock of the blast will precipitate a swift surrender.
Enough American lives have already been lost and in the long run, the bomb will cost fewer lives. The attack on Iwo Jima alone has cost us 25000 casualties and nearly 7000 deaths, a rather high price to pay for an eight-square-mile island. Okinawa cost us even more, we received 50000 ...

doubled the size of the United States and to get control of New Orleans.
Wilmont Proviso was to ban slaves from territories that might gbe aquired from
Mexico. Kansas- Nebraska Act was the result of Douglas wanting to build
railroads from Chicago to San Franciso. Douglas was a big believer in popular
sovereignity, where the people have the right to decide if they want to be free
of slave state, and he completely ignore the Missoure Compromise. The Compromise
of 1850 stated that should be equal number of free and slave states. The
Missouri Compromise said that any state above the latitude of 36 30' can not be
a slave state. "Bleeding Kansas" was where people were ...
