- 2562: A Farewell To Arms 2
- ... that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without being anything? "There isn't always an explanation for everything." War and love are obviously important themes in the book, and the relationship between the two is explored by Hemingway and, somewhat, by Henry. In the first two Books we are in the war and the war is overwhelming. In the last two Books we are in love. And, just as the first two Books are peppered with love in the time of war, the last two Books ...
- 2563: Breaker Morant
- ... Hancock. Harry Morant understood that he was being sacrificed so the British government wouldn’t look bad. When he uttered “that is what comes of empire building”, he was simply saying that sacrifice, injustice, and war is the ammunition the British used to expand its boundaries physically, politically, and economically. There were obviously many motivations for the British occupation of South Africa during the turn of the twentieth century, but they ... At the time of British occupation of South Africa, many Dutch settlers had already been living there. The Dutch, also called Boers, did not appreciate the corruption brought about by the British, and eventually a war broke out between the two. The Boers used a different type of warfare called Guerrilla warfare in which you can’t tell who the enemies are. This allowed the Boers to have sneak attacks and snipers because women and children were also involved in the war. The Boers used Guerilla warfare to their advantage because it allowed them to use surprise attacks and their knowledge of the land to outsmart the enemy. Guerilla warfare was very tough to defend because ...
- 2564: Automobile Motorsports Around The World
- The Automobile Motorsports Hobby Around The World When looking at the sport of high performance automobile tuning, the groups usually follow country of origin. It is common for the groups to compete against each other to prove which country makes the best ... V8's. The people who own these cars are not concerned with cornering ability, but instead focus on drag racing down the 1/4 mile track.

The ... impending disaster was to adopt strict policies to control population.There will soon be 6 billion human beings on Earth: according to the latest population estimates released by the United Nations.

The overpopulation is a very vast subject, but my assignment will only explain the three major points of the overpopulation. The biggest concern of human ...
- 2566: Comparison Of Brave New World

Both worlds, the Brave New one and Gattaca, are alternative futures (clearly ... of genoism, and although such discrimination is outlawed, the laws are unenforceable because in this dystopian society, as it is in BNW, one's "genetic quotient" is known from birth. The underclass people of this world are limited but aware of their social status and they are not particularly happy with it. With the BNW, the lower castes seem to be (they are made to believe so) aware but they are ... of parents can determine just how perfect and aesthetically beautiful they would like their child to be. Niccol is showing us that if we do not draw the line, these decisions could lead to a world that worships predictability and perfecion, leaving no room for the dreams and desires of God-children like Vincent. However, in BNW, there is more of a predestined life and there are no mothers of ...

- 2569: Skeptical Views On Noahs Ark
- ... myth As skeptics have long been aware, there was no global flood in the last 5000 years, a boatload of animals did not ground on so-called Mount Ararat or on any mountain, and the world's animals are not descended from two or seven pairs of each species that lived during the third millennium BC. Nor is there any archaeological proof that a man survived a flood by being on ... the flooded region known to Noah. He would have had no way of knowing what was happening to the land outside his local region. The Apostle Peter in II Peter 3:6 refers to the "world that then existed was overflowed with water and perished." Peter's reference to the flood would have no value if the flood were only a local inundation. Peter received his information on the flood from the same texts that we have and was therefore limited by the same ambiguities in the text that we can see for ourselves. Just because Peter referred in broad terms to a world that was overflowed with water, does not prove that the "world" in the original story was anything more than the local world known to Noah. Peter was using the flood story as a metaphor; ...
