One of the cases that the FCC is currently reviewing is Regent Communications’ acquisition of four radio stations in Redding, California. Officials have said that if this deal goes through, one company would control 64% of the local rad ...

Some think that Cordelia was prideful, or even a fool in her response, but I believe she was simply being honest and true. Another mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, into believing that his other son, Edgar, was plotting to kill him, he put all his faith in Edmund, which would eventually lead to his demise. Besides believing that Cordelia was being true and honest to her father, I ...

... and could not read, the pigs (government) were able to change the law whenever they wanted to, and the animals did not even realize what was going on. This basic idea of ignorance can be proven in the real world by simply looking back at Hitler. Since the common in Germany was too ignorant to see past Hitler's ideas, he easily became dictator of Germany. Manipulation in government is shown when the animals were forced to build the windmill. The pigs manipulated the animals into thinking that it would be beneficial, when in reality it turned disastrous. This idea is also incorporated in the famous quote, "All animals are created equal." When the pigs fir ...

... The Prince of Morocco's superficial nature shines through even more clearly when it comes time to choose the casket. He does not want to risk anything, and therefore; he does not choose the lead casket whose inscription tells the suitor he must give up everything. The Prince, after looking at the inscription of the gold casket, which read "'who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire'" (2.7, 37), decides that what he desires most is the Portia's hand so the gold must be the correct casket.

... Homer. Almost every little thing in the show is intended tobe humorous. In general the show is very funny but has some bad language and other offensive material. The fact that the show is a cartoon may be what has kept some people from watching. The cartoon though is what helps achieve many of the humorous aspects. For example a spill of nuclear waste would not be very amusing in a show with real people. The show has the assumption that it is OK if your family argues all the time. It shows this by the little arguments that the family constantly gets into. It also shows that it's pointless to try to be good all the time. One example is when they'r ...
