The importance of a society and it's survival

Multiculturalism: A Lack of Cohesion With the Olympics coming to the U.K this year, the British are showcasing their culture, country , and society.  What is Britishisness? What first must ask what is culture.  There are many definitions but one of them is "T he customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group" The U.K by extent the British and its long history of formation of its language and its social and legal institution have greatly benefited man, one of them being the paternal parent of the U.S. American law based is on common law which began in Britain and no where else. Britishisness is not just tea, bowler hats, or even fish and chips but the foundation of the concept of separation of powers in modern western history. This proud lineage is over a thousand years ago with the merger of Saxon and Normanism until the full Union of 1801 which is the Union jack today; Scottish flag and Britannias flag...

The shooting massacre  With this recent massacre we have a moral obligation to reflect on this evil crime. Last night, twenty four year old James Holmes went to a midnight showing of Batman and proceeded to kill people at random in the theater. What would bring a man with a middle upper class background, education ,and son of software engineer and a mother with a psychology background to commit murder. It's simple: art. More specifically, life imitating art. There have been many cases in history of men taking inspiration to do acts of good and evil from what they seen in plays of drama of ancient Greek plays or Japanese samurai and the 40 Ronin. In the Romance period (18th-19th century)  of Europe, star crossed lovers of middle to upper class backgrounds would commit suicide to dramatize or express their "true" love advertising to their parents that disapproved of their...

Is Batman Right Wing or Leftist? With the new Batman coming into theaters near you we as movie goers delve into the world of myth and escapism of Batman the Caped crusader.  He is a hero against evil for the sake of justice and a moral society. My argument would be that Batman is not only right wing hero but a neo conservative one. Like many origin stories his his one of loss of innocence and guilt that transformed him into not an apathetic bystander of injustice but an active agent whose goal is stop evil in society. His family was part of the 1%, the aristocracy of Gotham city. His early childhood was a leave it to beaver life: a traditional patriarch where his father worked and his mother was a stay at home mom. His father ran a multi-billion corporation while still   helping out his fellow man by means of philanthropy not taxes. One night, Batman as ...

The Importance of society and its survival in relation to military morale There has been many talks of the military and its connection to sports and other forms of advertising. Opponents of the military sponsoring sports such as NASCAR and other sports say it is not needed and/or wasteful spending. I very much disagree with that. Sports in military history is well founded and known. From Spartan warriors wrestling in the Olympics or Genghis Khans cavalry playing in games of racing to Saladin and his fellow officers playing polo. They gave enjoyment, leisure and an outlet for soldiers during times of peace and in war. Being a soldier whose sole occupation is to kill and perhaps die for the sake of society can wear physiologically on ones bearings. If a society doesn't  nurture the physiological health or overall happiness of the men who wear the...
