This movie screams to us to compare various aspects of it with movies such as The Last Samurai, Troy, & Gladiator. Truly grade A movies. Why? Because they enable us to easily emote our way through them from beginning to end. By allowing us to put ourselves in the same places as many of the lead characters. With their vivid sc... More..

A day in the life of a Med / Surg Nurse:Arrive at the hospital @ 6:30am. Get patient assignments. Sometimes you have 4 or as many as 6 patients assigned to you.

Arts & Humanities > Language Resources Assessing the Berlitz approach to foreign language study
2 of 5

Not really knowing any languages, but realizing how "I" learn best and that noone learns everything the "same" way, I fail to see how this one method can be used for "all" cases. Some people are visual in learning, some auditory, some kinesthetic, etc. By focusing on one method I find it difficult to see how such learning can... More..

As they say about gun ownership, It isn't the gun that kills, it's people who own them. The same can be said about owners of certain breeds of animals.

Bridge to Terabithia is the most recent tear jerker that i've had the privilege to see. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet so I won't go into what scene or scenes are the most poignant. But i will say the casting for this was wonderful. The young actress who starred in this (Annasophia Robb)was p... More..

Transformers is a good movie that could have been even better had the writers not gone astray in their choice of subplot and dialogue. Lots of silly things came out of the mouths of several characters which degraded the impact and likeability of the movie. John Turturro's character is a case in point. He play's a sophomoric s...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why are athiests so curious about religion

Atheists are curious about religion because the world is made up of alot more people who are religous than those who are not. And many believers currently are dangerous fanatics. Atheists want to understand how to survive this fanaticism. And the best tool they have, which is strongly associated with atheism, is knowledge and... More..

Jobs & Careers > Health & Sciences Jobs Real world nursing: Why nurses eat their young
5 of 5

I don't believe that nurses always eat their young. At least no more so than in other types of work. It's the same in nursing as it is in any other field. Some coworkers are just more helpful than others. And some just can't avoid wanting to make your life more difficult. It's just how some people are when a group of people g... More..
