Flint, once the hometown of one of the biggest corporations in America with the automobile industry as almost the sole driving force behind its economy, ends up being a town with one of the highest crime and unemployment rates. Moore uses vivid images throughout the movie to emphasize his point, to drive it home to the minds of people behind corporations, and to put forward to the public the true depiction of what we call democracy, and enable us to realize how the term “democracy” can be used, through the logic of the people behind corporate houses. Throughout the movie, we are told that Moore tried several times to interview GM’s chairman Roger Smith to get answers to his questions about the plant being shutdown and relocated to Mexico. Moore also informs his viewers that he wished to place before Smith the consequences of his company’s actions which caused a tremendous alteration in the local economy, shifting peoples’ lives from affluence to abject destitution. GM at that point of time, was a multi-billion dollar corporation, and Moore argues that the relocation was done to take advantage of the cheaper labor force available there, a corporate greed for more profits and desire for ultimate power.

It is a story set in the distant future, when mankind has come to depend on a worldwide Machine for food, housing, communications and medical care. In return, humanity has abandoned the earth's surface for a life of isolation and immobility. “It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome”: these great words of T.S. Elliot aptly sum up what the cinematophote, in Forster’s fictional world, is all about. In this enclosed world, "night and day, wind and storm, tide and earthquake, impeded man no longer.
Olaudah Equiano has truly been through it all. He has been confined in spaces with fearful noises and smells that were intolerably loathsome, and been so crowded to the point of near suffocation. With all of this, he still seems to maintain his spark of positivity. In the reading, he states “Happily perhaps, for myself, I was soon reduced so low here that it was thought necessary to keep me almost always on deck; and from my extreme youth I was not put in fetters.” He was appreciating the tiniest joy in still terrible ordeals, such as not being chained up like the other adults. Although all these wretched things are happening and will continue to happen, he still remains positive and grows happy over the littlest things.
Our environment gave us a source of peace, happiness and relaxation. Unfortunately, exhausts, nuclear radiation and disposal have polluted our beloved Mother Nature. Living with these aggravations causes us stress, anger and chaos; however, our greed for prosperity defeats them all. People go to any lengths for prosperity, even as far as destroying our precious environment. Shinichi Hoshi demonstrates this mania in his short story "He-y, Come on Ou-t!” Upon the discovery of the infinite hole, we are first introduced to man's willingness to sacrifice the Earth's well-being.
In general, most people can agree that war of any kind isn't pleasant. In fact, its a horrific event. The tole a war can take on any given person is tremendous. Obviously there's the physical aspect of war - running, climbing, lifting, suffering injuries – but it's the effect war can have on ones mind that makes it so devastating. You're body can take the rigors of physical training and you're body will recover from injury, but what you take from an experience such as WWI stays strong in your mind.

He proclaims, “The past is immortalized; that is to say, it is dead; and death is the root of all godliness and all abiding significance.’’ It is that very significance of death that he sees as soothing in comparison to the upheaval going on around him. Professor Cornelius also experiences silent discord with the modern art forms that so fascinate his children and their friends. He views these contemporary designs as deceptive and counterfeit. These two premises are prominent themes in many of Mann’s stories, and are found in this story. Moreover, the idea of the quest for one’s identity takes on a significant role in the telling of the tale.
He was still wiping his foul mouth as he walked out on to the tarmac and climbed the trembling metal steps.” He knew what he was doing was wrong, and because of that his stomach turned and he was feeling ill. Regardless to how he was feeling, he wiped his mouth after throwing up and was able to continue to his cruel mission. He denies having feelings towards what is going on, until Amis says, “Muhammad Atta had decided that romantic and religious ardour came from contiguous parts of the human being: the parts he didn't have.” This pretty much shows that Atta has no feelings, and doesn’t believe in love and he just can‘t feel the love or sorrow or anyone in the world. “They were called the 'bravest', accurately, in his view” Atta believes that the firemen where brave to risk their lives for the people, and in a way believed he was doing it for Allah and wanted to stay loyal to his fellow those in his country that were expecting them to attack; he didn’t want to back down. “Muhammad Atta had studied architecture and engineering.” He was planned for what he was doing.
Culture is humans way of answering life's unanswerable questions and it's this that shapes a lot about how we think and our individual psychology. People who believe in the same things are probably going to think alike and act alike. Obviously, there are some very extreme cases where nature is taken out of the debate all together and nurture is the sole factor to why someone behaves the way they do. Some examples are an abusive parent, being abandoned or neglected and always being in someone's shadow. These situations have a much bigger effect on humans than any
