The Equalizer

I learned in my Biology and Chemistry class that there are no two people in our world that are exactly the same. There is always something that makes someone unique and one of a kind, whether it is in their physical appearance or personality. There are different types of people, we see and do things differently, and we aim for different prizes. What matters to me might not matter to you, what is important to you might be irrelevant to me. People have different point of views, just like people have

had a chance to engage them? A warrior and capable fighter I may be, even though I'm unarmed. I trained with a variety of weapons, but never firearms. Speed, strength and fighting skills are limited against a firearm. Guns are sometimes called 'equalizers' for a reason. If we had stayed, would we have merely died too? I wish to believe my abilities might have made the difference, yet am I kidding myself? Was the fierce attack intended to take me out, and I only escaped by sheer dumb luck? Or did

Crafting a perfect society is always the intention behind the creation of a dystopias. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the dystopia is chillingly achieved through ensuring that every person has a distinct place within the society. Insane control over human reproduction technology removes all passion and likens the next generation to a new batch of products. Individuals are perfectly created for their jobs, and feel no other desires or emotions other than completing their work. Furthermore, the

Grief is a universal human experience, impacting our decisions and revealing the value we assign to aspects of our lives. The raw power of the emotions shapes our actions and brings forth our true beliefs. The Iliad explores the relationship between grief and honor. During the poem, through the immense grief the characters experience, the high value placed on conventions of honor is revealed.

Abstract: Migration such as immigration or emigration is the transfer of alleles, which are responsible for genetic variations, from the gene pool of one population to another. Therefore, it may change allele frequencies or range due to the reproduction of the immigrated individuals. This study was performed to see how migration modifies the effects of frequent disasters on allele frequencies in moth populations. Migration would counteract the effects of natural disasters that increase genetic drift

What is madness? Is someone considered mad or insane simply because they are different, and they, in turn, see the rest of the world as insane? William Shakespeare 's play Hamlet is about a complex protagonist, Hamlet, who plays the role of a tragic hero.

Reality television is one of the most popular genres featured on broadcast media.

Through their design choices and careful edits, producers are able to create narratives and meanings that otherwise

Death and violence are driving forces in the enjoyment of horror movies and stories. Horrific and gruesome events are entertaining to behold and often preface bigger adventures or satisfying endings.
