Do You Agree that Brutus had a Noble Motive When Murdering His Adopted Father, Julius Caesar ?


  Based from the Historical Events that occurred in the past, I believe that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his father, Julius Caesar in order to prevent his father from becoming a horrible tyrant. There are several reasons that just might support such issue.

  First of all Brutus knew that his father had done so many immoral acts towards the society. His father sleeps with senator's wife. He knew that his father killed and impale prisoners without any mercy. He knew that his father was trying to gain full superior power and thus to stop this issue from getting worse was to kill his father.

  Moreover, Brutus had no intention of seeking high power. This can be seen where he consider on the other senators in the Roman society. Due to Caesar's dictatorship, most of Roman senators had no grip of power thus he had to give way so that an Roman power can be given equally among these senators.
  Furthermore, even if Brutus didn't killed his father and took over the throne, he fear that he will be a tyrant just like his father because of the power and superiority he possess. Thus his feebleness thought lead to his noble motives that was to murder his own father.

  In conclusion the killings of Julius Caesar by Brutus is a noble motive. However Brutus's noble motives leads to conspiracy and it opens a gateway for many greedy and cunning Roman senators to take over Julius Caesar's throne and thus leads to civil war among the Romans and Brutus own death.

Based on the Documentary A.B.B, Do You Think All The Vices Committed By Julius Caesar Were Necessary In Order To Safeguard the Superiority Of Rome As The Greatest Civilization In The Ancient World?

 

  Based from the documentary Ancients Behaving Badly, even though Julius Caesar was a bad ass. I strongly agree that Julius Caesar's vices was necessary in order to maintain Rome's superiority in the ancient civilization. There are several justification and evidences that might support my reason.

  First of all, he avoided the dividend of power among the Roman Senators, Roman Senators during his time whom are filled with the greed for power and conspiracy among themselves. The rise of Caesar really marks a decline in the power and influence of the rich Senatorial Classes in Roman Politics. The Senate becomes little more than a rubber stamp for Caesar and his successors. We can see a shift of power away from the patrician classes towards Caesar's supporters as the military, the businesmen, and the lower classes. By doing his immoral acts by sleeping with high politicians wives he was able to control the senators and thus avoided the usurpation among the Roman Politician. Thus making them to focus only on Caesar as the main figure in their mind.

 

  In the battle of Alesia, the reason why Caesar allowed thousands of women and children to starve to death is because in previous conquest the war between the Gallic and Roman army were merely divide and conquer. The land surrounding has no food to be supplied to both Caesar's army and Vercingetorix's men. Even if Caeser let the Gallic women and children go there is a large possibility they will not survive. Moreover, some of Caesar's lieutenants began to despair as they advised Caesar to try to fight his way back to safety, to preserve what he could from the ruin and abandon Gaul. Caesar refused and said 'It would have been shameful and humiliating' and therefore unthinkable. Whatever his own doubt and weariness, his outward show of confidence remained as sovereign as ever. In Caesar's energy there was something demonic and sublime. Touched by boldness, perseverance and a yearning to be the best, it was the spirit of the Republic at its most inspiring and lethal. 

  In the end when Caesar won the battle, the Gallic people who survived even though were enslaved, even so they were given shelter and food by the Romans. Furthermore, the Gallic tribes of Edua and Arverna (about 20,000 soldiers), were released and pardoned as she forms to assure the alliance between these important tribes and Rome. The chopping of hands by the Romans to the Gallic people is a strategy to bring fear in the hearts and minds towards those who oppose the Roman civilization. Thus improving Rome's superiority in the ancient world.
 
  On the other hand, Caesar's military successes brought Roman massive economic benefits. Increased Roman expansion opened up trade routes to Roman merchants and small businesses and slaves brought in from Roman conquests resulted in an increasing use of slaves for jobs that ordinary Romans would do such as farming therefore leaving more Romans to be accessible for longer periods of military service. He also gave an acceleration to the "Roma Colonies" system. He systematically created colonies for his former soldiers in provinces, spreading humanization for the Roman Empire.

  In conclusion, even though Julius Caesar was a ruthless and a immoral leader, his vices changed Rome literally making Rome a powerful empire during his time.

There Were Many Suspects In The JTR Murders Over The Years. What Are The Evidence That Supports The Claim That James Kelly Was JTR? If You Are A Rival Detective, How Do you Eliminate All The Evidence That You've Identified In The Documentary?

Based from the documentary Jack The Ripper In America, there are support of evidence shows that James Kelly is Jack The Ripper. Among them are:

  • James Kelly killed his wife with a knife and his wife was being cut at the throat. He killed his wife because he assume that his wife is having an affair with someone else.
  • He worked as a furniture upholsterer which improves his skills with knifes.
  • He went to the US and at that same time the Jack The Ripper murder pattern also occurred towards the killings of prostitutes there.
  • He suffered from mental illness and was placed in a mental institution.
  • He was a cunning guy. He create his own key and managed to escape from the mental institution. 
  • His appearance matches with the 19th century eyewitness description when James Kelly himself is 40 years younger.
  As a rival detective, all of the evidence above has its flaw. First of all even if John Kelly killed his wife with a knife that doesn't mean that he is capable of killing other people because he does not have purposes and motives on every killing he did. James Kelly does not have the purpose and reasons to kill prostitutes because there is no links and connection between him and the prostitutes he killed.

  Secondly, he suffered from mental disorder, as most people know mentally ill people are incapable of doing a clean murder. The murder of Jack The Ripper is so clean that no evidence is being left behind besides a dead body. How can a mentally ill person such as John Kelly could leave many murder without leaving any signs of evidence.

  Regarding the eyewitness description, one should know that the disadvantage of eyewitness is most of its sources are not reliable because the evidence that was gathered might not be as accurate compared to the real life image description. Thus it shows that the eyewitness is not concrete enough to support the evidence.
 


   Thirdly the letter written by the murder of Jack The Ripper In America is completely different compared to the murder done the original Jack The Ripper that happened in London. Thus it shows the murder in America was done by someone else.






   In conclusion, the murder in the United States claimed Ed Norris by the is not linked to the one that occurred in London in the 18th century. Therefore the murderer was different and probably the real Jack The Ripper will be known in time as research and investigation will be done thoroughly from time to time.

Distinguish Between Facts And Fictions That Are Portrayed In The Movie @ Which Aspect Of The Plot That Is Accurate To The Historical Fact In The JTR Murders And Which Aspect Of The Plot That Is Based On The Filmakers' Own Imagination.

 
Based from the movie From Hell, there are distinguishable between facts and fictions within the movie itself. 

Facts
 - All the victims in the movie were killed by the use of knifes. (Historical evidence show Jack The Ripper killed his victims with knifes.)

- Most of the names of the prostitutes are used based from historical facts and records such as Marry Kelly, Catherine Eddowes and Annie Chapman.

- The fourth victim Elizabeth Stride was killed by one clear cut from a knife and the killing was disturbed (Based from historical records it shows the same result that was viewed from the movie.)

Fictions

-Fredrick Abberline did not die due to over usage of the opium drug he consumed. (In fact he died due to old age in the age of 86 in the year1929.)

-The murder of Jack The Ripper was linked with Freemasonry rituals, other secretive society or cult. (The real investigation by Fredrick Abberline shows no relation between Freemason and Jack The Ripper. He did not even investigate the situation unlike that happened in the movie.)

-The affair between Marry Kelly and Inspector Fredrick Abberline. (Based from historical evidence Mary Kelly and Fredrick Abberline don't even know each other. Fredrick Abberline only knew her when she was already dead and a victim to the Ripper.)

-Marry Kelly escaped from Jack The Ripper and migrated somewhere else where she can find peace. (However she was the fifth victim to be murdered by Jack The Ripper in true historical records, she did not migrate somewhere as viewed in the movie.)

Part Of The Plot That Is Based From Historical Facts.

  • The location where all the victims were killed in the movie were described based from historical evidence. For example, Martha Tabram was murdered in George Yard, Whitechapel is in the centre left on the map. Just as viewed and described in the movie.
 Victorian map of London marked with seven dots within a few streets of each other

  • The From Hell Letter received received by George Lusk, leader of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee , on 16 October 1888 and a preserved kidney in a small box viewed from the movie is based from true historical evidence derived through many sources.
 Scrawled and misspelled note reading: From hell—Mr Lusk—Sir I send you half the kidne I took from one woman prasarved it for you tother piece I fried and ate it was very nise I may send you the bloody knif that took it out if you only wate a whil longer—Signed Catch me when you can Mishter Lusk

Part Of The Plot That Is Based From The Film Makers Own Imagination.

  • The love affair between Marry Kelly and Inspector Fredrick Abberline is a part of the Film Makers imagination in the movie. Western movies like to portray relationships between the opposite gender in order to get attraction from viewers.
  • The part where the existence of Freemason cult or secret society within the life of Jack The Ripper is also a part of Film Makers imagination because there is no records indicate that the life of Jack The Ripper is associated with Freemasonry or other secret society.

  • The poisoned grape that Jack The Ripper gave the victim to eat so that they are drunk by the reaction of the poison and his professionalism in dismantling his victim into parts is a part of imagination in order to show the professionalism of Jack The Ripper himself in killing his victim unlike in historical records where he destroyed his victim body literally.

State Several Evidence Which Support The Ancient Astronaut Theory. Discuss Whether You Agree or Disagree To The Evidence hat You Have Identified.


 Evidence Which Support The Ancient Astronaut Theory of Extra Terrestrial helping Ancient Human Civilization.
  1. Small wooden bird model found in Egypt known as the Saqqara Bird that has the description " I want to fly "
  2. Some golden figure resembling a fighter jet found in Columbia's ancient buildings.
  • The jet fighter has triangular shape design, stabilizers and a fuselage which almost as the same as nowadays modern fighter jets.
  • Researchers made a larger scale from the original and inserted engines to it and they found out that the jet fighter figure can actually fly.
     3.  An unusual flat terrain known to be an airport found in the mountains of Mexico. There is also an ancient city found near the mountain.
     
     4. The theory that the large stone material on the pyramid of Giza was being cut by a giant saw because of the primitive tools cannot cut stones as precise and accurate as the one presented in the pyramid of Giza. The same goes to the block of stones presented in the Bolivian Highlands known as Puma Punku and the stone citadel in the Inca . 

    Based from the evidence and the documentary of Ancient Aliens, I would conclude that aliens or their so called E.T never existed and they didn't contribute in developing the ancient civilization in the ancient world. Based from simple factual evidence that is well known among people are the reasons why I disagree of the existence of aliens and their aid in humanity.

  Human heresy and imagination is the main cause why human thinks that aliens existed. It is their belief in superstition and things beyond the truth of reality. When Christopher Columbus landed and discovered America in 1492. The native whom he called the Indians worshiped him thinking he was a god or an alien being because of his appearance and the technology of his fleet had at that time, which is different to the Indian perspective. Columbus also made the same mistake by thinking that he had landed on Asia but actually the place is known as America and he doesn't even reach his destination.Thus it shows the narrow mindedness of humanity in evaluating towards a situation. Even television programs, movies, computer games, comic books and even novels nowadays shows the non-existence of matter. For example, in the Lexicanum unofficial Warhammer Encyclopedia shows the existence, the life cycle, drawings and even the history of aliens, battleships in space, super mechanical engineering in human beings and a god emperor of mankind that doesn't even existed even now but because of human's great imagination, they are considered to be existed.
  
This video shows the exaggeration of human imagination towards a matter, situation and environment that doesn't even existed.


  Moreover, human has been long existed and to be known as intelligent beings.They can create fantastic technological engineering such as buildings, vehicles, communication devices and many more. The official design and development of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in 1877 and the invention of light bulb by Thomas Alva Edison in December 1879 shows human superiority in intervention without the aid from aliens because of God's gift to the superior human brain. These devices soon evolve into amazing and awesome evolutionary tools for humanity. Examples are the existence of Phillips high tech light environmentally friendly light bulb and Blackberry smartphone was invented due do research done from time to time. The situation would had already happened in the ancient civilization where they themselves are trying to improvise their technology during that period of time.
  Furthermore, such powerful devices that existed in the ancient time might have been destroyed by time or natural disaster and because such large machines that used for rock cutting in the pyramid of Giza were too big and therefore they cannot be kept or preserved well which leads to their decay and thus to their destruction.

  In addition, the design of the building of the pyramid of Giza, the Puma Punku, the Great Wall of China shows the limited human capabilities in developing superior building and monument. If they were helped by extra-terrestrial beings surely they would have done beyond just like building satellites or giant space ships to explore space.
  In conclusion aliens or other intelligent living creature does not help human in developing the ancient civilizations. It is through human intelligent and strength that God the Almighty granted to them that they managed to create such wonders to impress us just like the first development of air planes by the Wright Brothers which soon evolve to becoming something beyond the basic of the design.

SUPER SIZE ME Based On The Facts Presented In This Documentary Are You Convinced That Fast Food Is The Main Cause Of Obesity In United States And Around The World?

 
  Based from the awesome and factual documentary Super Size Me, from my critical point of view I would conclude that Fast Food, fast food restaurant or anything that related to fast food doesn't have to do with the increase of obesity in the United States and the world. There are several reasons and supreme justifications that just might support my reasons.
Couch Potato
  First of all it is the due to the laziness of nowadays people and their dependency towards the advancement of human technology in order to make human lives EASY or in other words LAZY. The existence of technology that supposed to ease human basic needs actually drags them to the blink of laziness.Even in the documentary Morgan Spurlock didn't performed any form of exercise during his own experiment in eating McDonald's for a month. He only knows how to eat McDonald's fast food and at the same time he could do some exercise to overcome the fast food problem but he didn't. Thus leads to his illness such as severe headache and his increase in body weight

  In addition, the advancement technology leads to the obesity of mankind. Just like in the documentary itself where obese people used machines to help themselves to move around. It may seem convenient but in fact it does not cure people instead it only helps them to get what they want easily. For example most people rely too much on the existence of elevators and escalators which enables them to move around in a building with ease and without the aid of their strength. Thus reducing their energy use to exercise and increase their chances to get obesity.

  Last but not least, the environment plays a role in the increase of obesity. Nowadays people in the United States cities are in a hurry in terms of work, pleasure and entertainment. Therefore they don't pay much attention on food as long as it can be prepared fast and it satisfies their hunger. Thus they eat fast food that has high content of calorific value which leads may lead obesity just as stated in the documentary.

  In a nutshell I conclude that fast food companies doesn't have to do with the increase of obesity. It is humanity itself who are too lazy and dependent that makes them obese. Therefore it is important for humans to realize their mistake and thus overcome it by any means necessary.

AL JAZEERA 101 EAST: MALAYSIAN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. Choose One Of The 3 Guests Featured On The Talk Show 101 East. Then Apply Discourse Analysis. State Whether You Agree or Disagree Towards the Proposition, Premises And Arguments That You Have Identified.

  Based from 101 East talk show about the NEP or New Economic Policy, among the three guest I would choose Datuk Seri Dr. Ibrahim Saad as the favorable speaker.

Discourse Analysis

Conclusion
 The NEP should be maintained in Penang except its implementation.

Claim
Political issues in NEP affects people's perception in the NEP.

Premise 1
NEP during its development does not state the policy of NEP is for the beneficial for the Bumiputeras only.

Argument 1
  • Malay elites used this policy for their own good will and those whom involve with them politically.
  • Tun Abdul Razak during the early development of NEP stated that the policy is for the benefit for all people and not only just for the bumiputeras.
Premise 2
The implementation of NEP policy does not being implemented inside NEP itself .

Argument 2
  • Corruption within the Bumiputera affects the NEP policy itself.
  • It even affects and cause dissatisfaction among the Malay Bumiputeras themselves.

 Based from the discourse analysis, I would like to agree on all Datuk Seri Dr Ibrahim Saad on all the premises and his justification he had given that the NEP or New Economic Policy should be maintained and that the implementation should be changed. The government should not allow too many Malay elites to control the NEP or else it would upset other races because it is the human nature to be racist and only benefits their own kind, examples such as Hitler's national unity for the German people or the Tel Aviv Israeli movement for their Jewish Zionist benefits over the development of the country of Israel. The government should also allow some the Malaysia Chinese Association (MCA) and Malaysia Indian Congress (MIC) to provide help on their race as well so that Malaysia could achieve cultural harmony, balance and equality.

Discuss Whether Or Not Tun Abdul Razak's Son, Our Current Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Is Continuing His Father's Legacy Primarily In Affirmative Action

 

  Based from the documentary " A leader's legacy, Tun Abdul Razak" and some of my superior and close analysis discovery on the topic I realize that our current prime minister, Datuk Seri Najib is continuing his father's legacy in affirmative action in giving special privileges towards the Malays and the Bumiputera's. There are several reasons and justification that might support my point of view.

  First of all, Najib in a conference meeting in Putrajaya stated in Berita Nasional News, stating that the government are giving out RM13 billion Ringgit to bumiputera citizen who owns their own business through 'Unit Peneraju Agenda Bumiputera' (Teraju). Thus giving the opportunity to bumiputera's to improve their and the country's economic status. Such opportunities are not given to other races such as the Indian and the Chinese in particular.

  Secondly, Najib allowed president of the Malaysian Malay Chamber Of Commerce (DPMM), Syed Ali Alattas to provide 30% of the government contract only for the Bumiputeras. This gives jobs opportunity and political advantages to the Bumiputeras to develop Malaysia and also an aid given through the New Economic Policy.


  Thirdly,  Najib's New Bumi Foundation Education targeted to raise funds as much as RM500 million to funds 12 000 Bumiputeras within 5 years in order to pursue their education in order to raise their skills, knowledge and work experience. "The focus will be on training and developing professionals in high-pay and great potential sectors." said Najib which stated by the reporters in BERNAMA National News Agencies.

  Last but not least, even until up to this very day, Majlis Amanah Rakyat or MARA still provide cheap education and financial aid towards Bumiputeras who wanted to start to do business. If Najib didn't continue his father's legacy surely he would have abolished MARA and the bumiputeras will have a hard time in gaining a higher education and business easily. The existence of Mara Professional College and Mara College for Bumiputera high level education and multiples of entrepreneurship programs in business conducted by Mara supports such justifications. Thus helping to improve the Bumiputera society itself.

  In conclusion, despite of recent changes in Malaysia over the past few years, our current Prime Minister, Najib Razak still continues his father's legacy who is Tun Abdul Razak in affirmative action.

Do You Think Ghandi Is Responsible For The Tragic End Of His Eldest Son, Harilal ?

 
  Based from the movie and factual historical evidence about Ghandi's responsibility towards his eldest son tragic death , Harilal. In my opinion, Ghandi is not responsible towards his eldest son's death. There are few evidence that might support the reason why Ghandi is not responsible towards such incident.

  One of the reasons is that Ghandi as a father tries his best to educate his children. He knows what Harilal's weaknesses and therefore tries to overcome it. He knows that Harilal is not good in formal education.In the movie in 00:40:08 Gandhi told his wife that Harilal can't even make the school matriculation grades. Ghandi also knew that his eldest son is good and skilled in public speeches such in 00:24:46 and thus wanted him to join his cause to liberate India.

  In addition, Harilal is too stubborn and being a right brained person. He always thinks about his own feelings instead of others. He never put himself in his father's shoes and always thinks that he is right. One of the example that I can take from the movie is when 00:51:34 where he said to his wife that " Each time I failed Gulab, my father wins." It clearly stated that he knew that his father was right from the beginning that Hariral is not good in formal study but he refused to accept his weaknesses. He tried to take a few more times for his education but he always failed, not only he failed but he also jobless and owes people a sum of money. Besides that, he also refuses to listen his father's advices when he lost his beloved wife, Gulab. His father advised him to return to the Ashram and start a new life where he could improve himself and his whole family but in the end Harilal refused to go to the Ashram and in the end he just became a normal simple citizen while his father is well known and well respected compared to him just like in the part of the movie in 01:22:46.

 

  Moreover, Harilal's stubbornness also leads to his feebleness in his effort towards his objectives. He easily gives up when he failed to achieve something. It can be seen in the part of the movie when he failed his formal studies for a few times, he gave up his study and continue to do business. And when he failed in his business in his so called 'clothing investments' he ended up being drunk because he cannot accept his faith and he whined up in debt just like in the movie part 01:11:33.  

  Last but not least, it is Harilal never appreciate and often misuse on the opportunity that had been given to him. One of the example is when he was converted to a Muslim in 01:40:51. He was given a house, a good living and hospitality by the Muslims but he never appreciate it. Instead he acts like a filthy drunk in 01:43:48 and misuse the hospitality given by the Muslims. 

  In conclusion, it was not Ghandi's fault for the death for his eldest son, Harilal.Ghandi even ordered some men to find Harilal but with little luck they were unable to find Harilal. Besides that Ghandi died first before Harilal, thus Harilal's death has nothing to do with Ghandi. Also it was Harilal who decide his own faith, he decides himself to live on the streets like a disgusting filthy beggar and in the end he died without honour and dignity.



In Your Opinion, Do You Think Gandhi Has Failed In His Life Work Which Is To Promote Non-Violence And Reuniting The People Of India?

 
  Based from the movie Ghandi, I would conclude that Mahatma Ghandi, the national hero for India's dependency had failed  to promote non violence and reuniting the people of India. There are several reasons why he failed to achieve his goal in the end.

  First of all, Ghandi failed to promote his non violence act towards the British. He may have succeeded towards the Indian at the early stage but throughout his non violence campaign, he failed to promote such act to the British. We can see in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, India where the British under the command of General Reginald Dyer sent his troops to shoot those who involved in unauthorized meetings and caused many innocent civilian including women and children to lose their lives. Thus showing Ghandi's failure to promote his non violence act.

  Secondly, he failed to promote his non violence act on the people of India after India's independence because of the tension between the Indian Muslim and the Indian Hindus. This is due to the fact that not all people in India has Ghandi's point of view and it is because of religion divides its people apart. Ghandi tried to persuade Muhammad Ali Jinnah by letting him to be the first Prime Minister of India and allow Muslims to take higher command of the seats of managing India. Even so, the Indian Hindus will disagree and this will cause civil war among the Indian people. In the end, the Indian Muslims migrate to the Muslim majority and form their own country that is Pakistan.


  Thirdly, Ghandi also failed to stop the migration and the fights between Muslim and Hindus during the formation of Pakistan. Ghandi's so called non violent act can do nothing to stop this matter. People are desperate and religion issues cannot be overcome by non violence act and thus the only solution for this is by dividing the nation itself.  Many Indians died during the migration due to disease, fighting and hunger. Many were left homeless and Ghandi's non violent act cannot even help to overcome such situations for the people of India. And in the end it spilt the Indians into continents that is Pakistan and India. Thus showing Ghandi's unsuccessful attempt to reunite the people of India.

  Fourthly or lastly, Ghandi's vision that is to unite the people of India fails up to this very day. In the last day he lives he stated that he wanted to pay a visit on Pakistan just as stated in the movie in 03:00:04, thus this act creates anger among dissidents on both sides which will soon leads to his assassination and his death.  Nowadays Pakistan and India continued to improve their military power on each others borders. Tension among those two countries rises up when Pakistan has developed nuclear power plant. Thus upsetting the balance between India and Pakistan up to now.

 

 Consequently, Ghandi did managed to liberate India from British Imperial rule. However he failed his mission to promote non violence act and reuniting the people of India due to inescapable circumstances that even he himself cannot overcome.
