Nothing is Needed for Something Many people judge their success on how much they have and the material possessions around them; Ernest Hemingway, however, believes people must accept they are nothing to achieve true success and happiness. Nothingness is a difficult concept for many to grasp, but it becomes more clear with age what nothingness means. People also often do not want to accept or believe they are nothing in the world. Most believe they have a specific purpose and are in some way…

‘Rear Window shows how easy it is to be deceived by appearances.’ Discuss. Hitchcock’s critically acclaimed thriller ‘Rear Window’ details the life of 1950s New York - where affluence, materialism and patriarchy were valued. The deceit that plagues the plot of the story, strips bare the constructed facades that underpin the film and as a result, highlights how easy it is to be deceived by appearances. Although innocent in nature, these facades act as the foundations for LB ‘jeff’ Jefferies’…

Everyone on Earth came out of a mother, whether they were adopted at a young age, became an orphan, emancipated, or many other situations. Why does there need to be a dollar value to someone’s life if everyone came to Earth the same way? The most meaningful thing in life is that each person sees the value in themselves and there is nothing worth more than a life. Society has been placing dollar values on lives, however; the value of a person’s life should be determined by their attitude,…

thrown around a lot, and many people describe it differently. Capitalism is a term used to portray the economic system we use today; it’s a system that builds the foundation of our country and a system that purely works for profit. The documentary “Roger and Me” showcases an Ex-journalist Michael Moore on the road to receive more answers on Flint, Michigan and the sudden closing of its General Motors auto plants. With over 30,000 people out of work, the documentary illustrates why our society is…

experiences dramatic change in neighborhood when she decides to move to Rogers Park in Chicago, which is known to be the most diverse neighborhood in a hypersegregated city.

As Biss transitions into the neighborhood of Rogers Park, she quickly realizes how diverse the neighborhood is while…

fantastic.To its minor credit, Concussion doesn’t give the NFL a pass, but it doesn’t make us as angry as it should. That is perhaps because Landesman boxes his NFL narrative around Omalu, which effectively keeps us out of the room with the commissioner, Roger Goodell and out of any rooms of debate with the NFL (who will not acknowledge his research). Omalu new partner and former doctor for the Pittsburgh Steelers,Dr. Julian bates is granted that access while Omalu waits in hotel rooms and…

some believe life is not worth much and we are going to die anyway. There is no definitive answer to this question because it is impossible to prove. Overall the value of life is what people want it to be and we will be looking at it through Hamlet, Roger Ebert, and Amanda Ripley. In Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” Soliloquy he contemplates life based off of his life at that moment and how it has come to be that way. Hamlet does not value life as highly as others because throughout the entire…

Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. After the Panthers’ much-needed 30-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday, Newton threw down the gauntlet against NFL officiating crews for putting his safety in jeopardy with missed calls on questionable hits. However, Newton’s claims have already been debunked. Henceforth, he should focus on adjusting his game to mitigate the hits he does experience instead of…

Although some people believe rules in football should not be changed because of the countless years the rules have been kept the same and the ways it would change the nature of the game, the rules should be adjusted to enhance the gameplay experience and make it safer. Football regulations have been increasingly changing throughout the course of the past decade and out of all sports, whether it be baseball, soccer, basketball, or hockey, has been one of the most changed sports. One of these…
