My point of view on existentialism

I do believe what Sartre says does exist, especially in today's society.There are many people today that live by that but I choose to believe in what I want to not what other people want me to believe in. When a person is born they do have a purpose, it is up to them on what they want to do not anyone else. Sartre had a purpose when he started to question everything around him. In my personal life I carry my self to accept people as they are not what they believe in. We, as in the world, are just giving every person in the world something to do with having money and the need to please people. Its something to pass the time, but at the same time while we go to work and enslave our self's we are making a better world for the next generation of humans. Yes, we are just existing, its up to the human to give its self a purpose. I can not see my self as a existential hero because I am content with being a regular human.

Old Spice is art

Some people believe that advertisement is not an art form. The definition of art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Now the advertisement that I choose was for Old Spice, which is a company that makes male grooming products. When I look at this advertisement the mood that it creates for me is a since of being calm, due to the background of the ocean, and the majestic horse that the man is sitting on. This advertisement tells me that there product is going to be as fresh as the ocean breeze while riding horseback, also allowing me to feel as if I were there riding with him. The way the model is sitting and looking, kind of gives off an erotic feel to the advertisement, saying that if you wear this you will feel the same way as the model. Yes, I do believe that this advertisement is a work of art, due to the location of the photo shoot, the props that were used and the body language of the model.

Censorship on Lord Of The Rings

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on 03 January 1892 in Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, or known now as South Africa. People thought when Lord Of The Rings was first published it was going to be a children's book, so he started to make drawings to show the audience what he intended them to see(1). This story is about two young Hobbits (race similar to humans) that go on an adventure, or quest, to get the "One Ring" to a place called Mount Doom so that they could destroy the ring because of the powers that it contains. There were multiple reasons why this book was initially banned, one of the major reasons was because people saw the book as anti-religious and they had the books in many different libraries including schools(2). As the story unfolds, in the series, they figure out that the story reveals christian elements to it. I chose to write about this book because of the familiar paths that I have taken and felt the same way as Frodo. I am not saying that I'm in the same realm as Frodo, but just experienced what he has felt.
