Many people are never able to master this, some say. Others say that one can maintain this point of view. Whether this is true or not has never been determined; however, literature can help to recieve a fully rounded picture of what altruism might look like in everyday life.

The 'List: Thanksgiving 2017
Hello, one and all. So, Thanksgiving Day is upon us and I felt that if there's anything to be thankful in this life, it's music. It's always been a true blessing in my life and I figured a 'list of thankful tunes to go with your Turkey Marbella, Stove Top stuffing, and cranberry sauce. They're from all decades and hope you have a great turkey day from me and my buddy, Calvin "Oates" Cherry.

Blindness in 'The Hunger Games'
The Hunger Games is a film set in a post-apocalyptic time where people are separated by districts and are forced to participate in a game, The Hunger Games. The districts choose two representatives from each district to fight and kill representatives from other districts until one person is left. This film uses mental blindness to address, and make a statement on, psychosocial issues in this era. The concept of a mental blindness that impairs judgment is at the core of the oppressors’ tactics to control the populace. Although the oppressors are outnumbered by those they control, they maintain their control through creating fear, social separation, and changing mindsets, these themes are shown in The Hunger Games through different camera angles and colors.
