Psychology in Science
Theories attempting to explain the origin of dreams range from providing stimulation for the development of the brain to enhancing storage and reorganization. Contrary to popular belief, dreaming is not caused by eating certain foods before bedtime, nor by environmental stimuli during sleeping. Dreaming is caused by internal biological processes. Now, as in the past, the most significant controversy centers on the question of whether dreams have intentional or actual personal meaning. Many psychotherapists

Brief Survey of Psychology

Literature Review: Atheism & Performance
Because our society is mostly Christian, most of the entertainment industry caters to that idea. Theatre has made references to Christianity throughout centuries; however no one has performed atheism. To prove this notion, it is important to prove Christianity in theatre really exists to begin with. In "The Laughing Dead and the Lively (or was it lovely?) Virgin," the authors trace the relationships between theatre, ritual, circus and Christianity (Bosque 1). It examines the New

Review of Unforgiven
Produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, Unforgiven is simply the most realistic western ever put to film.

It's no surprise that the film easily walked away with the Best Picture Academy Award for 1992. When a customer cuts up a prostitute and goes unpunished,

Romeo & Juliet Movie Review
I thought the movie was very good at reciting the content of the book, except that there were a few key parts that were left out, such as the part where Romeo went to go see the apothecary. Also the movie was good at illustrating the action of the play while still having a very dramatic ending. This movie was about a girl and a boy who fall in love but are of different sides
