Over the years, there have been many arguments about whether Avatar is science fiction or fantasy. My first thought would be that Avatar is both science fiction and fantasy. The movie starts with pure science fiction, as the human’s space traveling many light years to the moon Pandora to mine the very unusual and valuable ore called Unobtainium (Evans, 2009). This seems to me plausible, which agrees with the idea that science fiction is mostly about possibilities, partly based on...

There have been many different articles, biographies, and much more that have been published about the life of Abraham Lincoln to educate people on his life as a president, a father, and an all-American hero. This film was entirely based on the last four months of Lincoln's efforts in fighting for the 13 Amendment to be passed as a law. I think for the most part the film was mostly a correct depiction of what those four months had been...

After reading “Night” by Elie Wiesel I have gotten a far better understanding of the treatment and handling of Jews during the Holocaust, and I believe anyone will after reading this incredible book. “Night” is told through the eyes of Eliezer who is merely a teenage boy when the story begins. Just like any other kid who was a Jew, Eliezer would study the first five books of the Old Testament, but soon that would all come to an immediate...

As I reflect on teaching and its purpose, I continue to see how diverse the act of teaching really is. There are many definitions for a teacher. Wikipedia describes a teacher as someone who helps students acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue. While this is true, the teaching profession and the purpose of teaching is much more than that definition and encompasses many facets. To me, teaching is a continuous process that requires one to seek out ways and means of...

What many films made in recent years fail to draw in both the critics and the audience and trying too hard to make a great production to please their expectations can have a seriously negative effect on the final product – even though ‘The Greatest Showman’ did not win over the critics as hoped, it won over modern audiences with its cast, script and wonderful soundtrack. Regardless of its historical inaccuracies, this is a great show, with its diverse cast...

A nice calm close to the beach and a forest environment is a place you would only think exists in movies. But somehow I'm in luck because that sounds like the campus of UC Santa Cruz. And it's a realistic school that I can actually attend because the GPA requirement is not 4.0 and up, it's a 3.76. I would love to attend this school because this campus is like a 'zoo' where you can always expect to see deer...

In 2014, the famous American writer and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates, in his article published in The Atlantic, addressed the serious issue of reparations for slavery. Coates argues that the reason the idea of reparations doesn’t enjoy popular support is because it is seen as a joke. “Reparations is a Dave Chappelle skit. That’s what a lot of people think about when they think of reparations”, Coates told Eric Levitz. “That polling is not a natural, free-standing fact. That’s the result...

Introduction The transpersonal theory suggests that there are developmental stages beyond the adult ego. It focuses on the spiritual and moral development of human connections beyond the physical realm. All the while identifying self-actualization between humans and the spiritual components of the universe, transpersonal theory also connects human values with spiritual experience (Barker, 2014). The theory itself does not promote any specific belief system; instead, it views spiritual connectedness as a major part of human experiences across different cultures (Kasprow...

Baudrillard grapples with this in his theoretical writings. It is in this world that “images, signs, and codes engulf objective reality; signs become more real than reality and stand in for the world they erase” (Wilcox, 346- 47). This pseudo-world of simulacra and the perceived loss of the real in DeLillo’s novels obstruct his characters’ search for themselves. DeLillo’s communication is a kind of haphazard game, and language is the playing field on which opposing forces clash--harmony and chaos, rules...
