Sylvester Stallone

It is most fair to say Chip suffers from borderline personality disorder (BPD) since he meets the requirements such as: difficulty with self-image, highly manipulative, and immature. Nicholas Kuvaas elaborates on the characteristics of BPD by saying these characteristics have been around and persistent for years and people with BPD will have a love-hate relationship with people around them. This is such the case with Chip. Chip is in his middle adulthood, yet he acts as if he’s still a child.…

Media is all around us, it 's in our house, school, and social life. My generation has been raised on it. There is not a day we don 't see it. We are informed about it through newspaper, Facebook, Television, online, and in video games. Is it good for us to be constantly bombarded with it? It causes body image issues for men, which results in them constantly thinking they are small and pushes them towards steroid use. It causes body image issues for women, which results in anorexia and eating…

In her study ‘Films as Cultural and Emotional Measures,’ Kristen Leder provides interesting insight into the emotions connected to film and how this affects viewing choices. Leder utilises qualitative material to analyse the vernacular criteria through which viewing choices are made in regards to horror films, for instance, specific textual content such as media violence, or the ‘emotional investments’ subjects anticipate due to preconceptions they had of specific films (284).

He was former United States Army veteran and Military Policeman who turned into a bouncer and bodyguard for the rich and famous.…

In my experience, robustness is the ability to not get discouraged when something doesn’t go the way you thought or hoped it would. When I think of robustness I imagine the scene from the movie Rocky Balboa (2007) where Sylvester Stallone is talking to his son in the street. In this scene he says, “it ain 't about how hard you hit. It 's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That 's how winning is done!” This is…

If one, five, twenty, a hundred, or even a thousand people from the United States are asked if they have been in a high-speed car chase, been shot up by a cohort of evil villains, or kidnapped and held hostage for ransom; it is expected to get a few, but not many yes answers. If asked instead if they went to high school, got married, or found a good job, the likelihood of getting yes answers increases exponentially. So why is it that people from foreign countries think that there is more…

In life there there is that single day that will change your life, or make you recall your past paving the way for you to change. That day for me was March 18, 2016, my 17th birthday. As the morning came by me, i woke up and began my day normally by following my normal routine. Shower, brush, eat then head to school.
