You will note that several famous philosophers were contemporary of Lord Mahavira, and that 13-15th

White Oleander: Book Vs. Movie
White Oleander: Book vs. Movie Like with most books that are made into movies, this was definitely a disappointment. I have always found that books can tell much better stories than what you see on screen, this was no different. The movie easily cut out very important parts of the story. The beginning of the book is so important because you really get the feel for the weird mother-daughter relationship between Astrid and her Mother.

A Book Review of George Orwell’s 1984
Living in a society with limited freedom of expression is not, in any case, enjoyable. A Totalitarian society is a good example of such a society, because although it provides control for the people, it can deny them a great deal of freedom to express themselves. The fictional society in George Orwell’s 1984 also stands as a metaphor for a Totalitarian society. Communication, personal beliefs, and individual loyalty to the government are all controlled

Ayn Rand's Book: The Virtue of Selfishness
Rand’s argument for the definition of ‘selfishness’ is that it does not include a moral evaluation; it does not tell us whether concern with one’s own interest is good or evil. She states that ‘selfishness’ has become a synonym to the word ‘evil’. Which brings the minds of people to images of a murderous brute, therefore it does not constitute man’s actual interests. Altruism, which means unselfishness; self-sacrifice; selflessness, is declared by Rand that it
