Raphael Cohen-Almagor did a remarkable job at addressing the current state of affairs in the nation of Israel when it comes to the presence of hate speech against minorities and how to appropriately resolve issues of hate speech without infringing on the rights of free speech that is important for the existence of democracy.

Controlling The Moment Have you ever watched a professional athlete make a game winning shot, or make an incredible play that you know couldn’t have been recreated? If so, you’ve just witnessed Kairos. This word, describes “the right or opportune moment” for something to take place (Fowler 201). In other words, it can be viewed as the perfect opportunity to make something happen whether we seize control of the moment or not. As a matter of fact, we witness Kairos every time we turn on the television

When it comes to big universities, most are big football schools. With football comes mascots, which is something the schools can hold very dear to their heart as mascots come with much pride and tradition. Some schools will have the average mascot you’re used to seeing in high school, a person dressed up in a costume that’s designed to look like a tiger, eagle, bear, etc. However, at many universities the use of live animal mascots is taking place. While some view this as exploitation of the animals

The last critique snuck up on me and I was scrambling to find a musical performance that could fit in my busy schedule. Luckily, as I was searching online for different performances I ran across The Flex Crew performing at Skully’s music diner. I have been to Skully’s once before to watch a folk band perform. The atmosphere was a lot different than when we saw The Flex Crew. Obviously, the genre of music was a lot different, along with the atmosphere of the crowd. I was very surprised by the number

Gifts come in all ways, shapes and forms. Sometimes you don’t even recognize that something or someone has been giving you a gift, you only know that it makes you feel happy. Happiness in itself is a gift that many different objects, people or places can give to someone. There are many different things that give me happiness within one day, that is for certain. But there are irreplaceable continuous gifts that live with us every single day, our animals. Whether you have a dog, cat, horse, fish

When Jennifer looked down at the two pink lines her mouth fell slack. Her stomach clenched and she felt the Sopas from lunch start to claw its way back up her throat. She slid down the length of the dingy pink wall and let the little white stick clatter against the chipped tile. Outside, Jennifer heard the apartment door open with a bang and her roommate call out to her. “Yo Jenny, come help me with these groceries.” She stared at her reflection in the mirror over the sink as she stood up, checking

Animal testing has been around since 500 BC starting with dissecting animals in ancient greece. French animal testers believed that animals were “automata” and could not feel pain or emotions. There was no public objections to animal testing until the 19th century when there was an increase of adopting domestic pets.

Monty Python’s Life of Brian is more than just a mere comedy; it is a Biblical, religious, and political satire. Like all Python films, Life of Brian seems to educate the viewer while at the same time providing entertainment. Unfortunately not all of the elements in Life of Brian occurred in real life, which takes away from the validity of the plot.
