The episode entitled “Bart’s Comet,” first aired on February 5, 1995, criticizes a blind allegiance to authority in any form by humorously detailing Springfield’s response to an approaching comet, which threatens to destroy everyone in the town. The episode parallels Wells’s chronicle of the Martian invasion in its depiction of authority. Unwarranted faith finds an unfortunate place in government, religion, and science in both accounts of impending disaster. In themselves, these three fundamental elements of society do not receive cri ...

... known as second language acquisition. Technology can often be overwhelming to both student and teacher alike and where computers are concerned, it can be an imposing instrument. The complexity of the computer, not to mention the vast choice of possibilities, can put students and teachers off as they loose time grappling with how to use the computer. Yet, the learning curve aside, computers can be valuable assets in the classroom. Computers being used as a tool to further a learning goal is not an entirely new phenomenon in our society.
