Banality of evil

Unfortunately, in this case, the Bible oppresses women by limiting them to remain in their household. Hence, Atwood is stunned that the Bible even enforces such a discriminatory idea; she refers this imposition as “evil”, evidently indicating that she defies the Bible’s principles as well as illustrating herself as a feminist. With the establishment of an “Equality Clause”, Atwood’s role as a civil activist influenced her to write “Happy Endings” to further criticize

Although the Jews had experienced persecution throughout history, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries, when large numbers of Jews were persecuted in Europe, and the crusades, where mass killings of Jews

scenes where the father of the household seemingly forces his daughter to be betrothed to someone she does not love. Though readers see Tartuffe trusting Orgon’s apparently unalterable trust in him, “he may also rely on quick thinking and pious banalities to extricate him from an embarrassing situations” (Bermel, Moliere’s Theatrical Bounty 165). These and other moments when character’s actions contradict their supposed beliefs lead to the play “centering around the confusion of appearances and reality

Monstrous Technology / Innocent People:
A Description and Analysis of the Reichsbahn (German Reich Railway) Many of the 17 million1 (Newyk 45) victims of the Holocaust were transported to their eventual deaths by European railroads. Once a means of democratizing travel and an innovative wonder, railroads were transformed into technological beasts: symbols of the Shoah’s horror. The extensive European railroad network was leveraged by the Nazis to disguise what they called ‘resettlement’. “Special

If utopia were conceived to depict infallible humanity, its antipodean dystopia acts as a characterisation of the vicissitudes of the human condition, epitomised by primal desires for self-actualisation.

Money and Desire: A Powerful Combination In this materialistic world, money, a necessity for survival, enables man to satisfy his innumerable wants. However, the desire to pursue financial stability could sometimes be self-destructive, as one turns his greed into a bottomless pit that exhausts him and eventually isolates him from the rest of the world. Two movies, Margin Call and The Social Network, demonstrate the complex dynamic between commerce and individuals who struggle to find a balance between

In January 2010, I was privileged to be able to take a class at the Presbyterian Center in Louisville, KY called "Leaders in a Connectional Church".
