misery and disbelief among the followers or members. As for why utopias ultimately become dystopias in the modern era, an explanation is simply because while their goals seem and look achievable to the leaders of those societies, their visions are nothing more but unrealizable ideals (Hughes). The irony is that presumably the world would be better off with the fact that utopias can never be achieved in real-life, for as they would not last more than a few months or years after they have surfaced and latched themselves upon the world humanity has lived in for years. For instance, while the leader of the Unification Church, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, has made a numerous amount of actions that caused backlash among outsiders and critics alike, the Church alone would continue to commit those actions such as massive wedding ceremonies to continue believing in Moon because he would tell them so (Fisher). Then again, anyone would be foolish enough to even believe in these leaders of societies that aim to achieve perfection only to misfire in all cylinders, as it is only a matter of time when everyone realizes that these societies are actually dysfunctional places where hope is bleak and the society is corrupt in ways anyone could imagine otherwise (Padilla). The reality is, utopian and dystopian…
The film The Attorney depicts the oppressive representation of South Korea’s governance and flawed judicial system. The storyline centers on Chun Doo-hwan’s governance of South Korea.

Analyzing the political situation, underlying themes, and the fictionalization of particular aspects of the film, one gains a comprehensive…

exploring distant planets, we must first go back to the beginning of space exploration. Moon missions are essential to the exploration of distant worlds. These moon missions may also be used as a base of operations where humans will learn how to replenish essential supplies. “NASA has an exciting new vision of future space flight - the return of humans to the moon by 2020 in preparation for visits to Mars and possibly beyond.” (Schlager,NP) Those skills are essential to the future expansion of…
tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth. Distance plays an important part in the cause of tides as well, more so than the magnitude of the gravitational attractive force. The effect of distance is seen in the relationship between the sun, the moon, and the Earth’s waters. The Moon controls the motion of tides despite being smaller, and thus having a lesser gravitational pull than the Sun, because of the Moon’s closeness to the earth compared…

“An Eagle flying in outer space” “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win” (Kennedy, John). July 20th 1969, the day history was shaped and a path laid for the future.…

on the Moon” published by The Times, talks about how the atmosphere in space was when Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were on the moon. As Aldrin reports back to base, “There are quite a few rocks and boulders in the near area which are going to have some interesting colors in them.” This is a fact given to the reader to expand their imagination on what the colors of the rocks could possibly be since they don’t state what actual color they could be. Later in the article Aldrin radios again,…
For My Choice, I was debating between a few different songs and artists. For the assignment, I have chosen the songs Heroes Tonight and Aurora both that are by Janji and Something just like this by Nadia Khristean. Other songs I had considered were Waving through a Window by Ben Platt, or Walk on Water by Thirty Seconds to Mars. Walk on water is more directed towards the population as a whole and how we want to accomplish things that seem impossible but not for the sake of love. Waving through a…
