“See, now I’m thinking: maybe it means you’re the evil man. And I’m the righteous man. And Mister nine-millimeter here… he’s the shepherd protecting my righteous (self) in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you’re the righteous man and I’m the shepherd and it’s the world that’s evil and selfish. And I’d like that. But that ain’t the truth. The truth is you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men.” (Tarantino, Pulp Fiction) In this quote from Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film, Pulp Fiction
Why should a child that brutally killed a whole race of buggers be considered a morally righteous hero? John Kessel answered this question by writing Creating the Innocent Killer: Ender’s Game, Intention, and Morality, which was published in 2004. In this essay, Kessel states how Orson Scott Card, the author of the novel Ender’s Game, set Ender up as the victim from the very beginning of the story to create sympathy for him, so when Ender commits genocide, we don’t feel like he did anything wrong

to be favored. Ibsen’s play poses religious and social questions, but the philosophical questions Sartre’s play raises are much more controversial. Sartre’s essays “On Existentialism” reject any notion of the solidarity of mankind. Also, his beliefs reject any claim of a “universal morality” or “universal truths.” Every man is righteous in acting according to his own self-interests. The only constraint on man’s behavior is his own belief of whether or not his actions are just. No man has the
Jehovah vs. Zeus God and Zeus have very few similarities, if any at all. God is an infinite, personal, righteous God, whose sole care is centered on mankind. Zeus, in contrast, is finite, impersonal, and unrighteous, caring only about his own selfish desires. This essay is going to contrast Jehovah, the God of the Bible, and Zeus, god of the Greeks. The Bible talks a lot about God’s love, peace, and saving grace, but the Iliad and Odysseys only mentions what Zeus wants to do that would benefit

Malnourished In his essay “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable” Gary Steiner attempts to argue that an 'ethical vegan' lifestyle is the most morally upright position to take on what he calls a “meat-crazed” society. Sadly, the author falls short on many points he attempts to make. Instead of evidence he prefers weak rants on morality, going so far as to insult those members of the populous with omnivorous leanings. Steiner begins stating two perceived arguments against his case which can be easily reduced
Introduction In this essay I am going to discuss one of the most significant covenant promises that God made in the Old Testament. The genre of the scripture is historical narrative due to it describing an event that took place between God and Abram. The Covenant promise given to Abram was a blessing that continued on through generations and was given to him as a righteous man before God. Although much of the promise would happen after Abram's death his name would live on forever and his descendants
My precise interest in this essay is to talk about the differences and similarities between Dio Brando, as of his first appearance on Phantom Blood to his last appearance through flashbacks on Stone Ocean. On both parts he is still the same character: a main villain in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. However, people tend to find the later DIO inconsistent when comparing him to Phantom Blood’s Dio Brando. It is true that there are huge differences thanks to character development. Nevertheless, there are
confirms that both men and women are equal in the sight of God. In the Quran, God declares, “…Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you…” (49:13) At another place in the Quran, God clearly states that all humans are equal: “To whoever, male or female does good deeds and has faith. We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions.” (16:97). In fact, Islam reverenced women in humanity by uplifting and protecting them with unprecedented
