- 1461: Media and Society
- ... the media is going to continue on the same path, because it looks as though the violence is going to continue for some time. We need to be dependent on the parents to reduce the effect that media violence has on children, which can be done in so many different ways.

- 1464: Dracula-play Review
- ... did a fantastic job with the special effects. When the flash went off, my heart jumped and I definitely could not see the actors leave the stage, which is why I presume they had this effect. Lighting designer, Kevin Fraser, did a wonderful job in evoking the time of day, and concentrating light on action sequences. I especially noticed the lights right after the doctor told Lucy what was wrong with her when he saw the bite. Spotlights were on each one of the actors individually. This made for a very dramatic effect. Jeff Churchill did a very interesting job on the design of the set. It suited the play well and added interest to the play. Alix Dolgoy did a great job on the costumes, they were ...

- ... God has for us is to fulfill our worldly duties. A very important point that Luther makes in reference to callings is that each calling has the same worth in the eyes of God.

This stands opposed to the Catholic tradition which did not give such worldly matters any moral emphasis. Luther stated ... in their jobs. Thus, there can be no doubt that Luther changed the attitudes of people toward their roles in society. People placed a new emphasis on their work roles.

- 1467: Frankenstien And Neuromancer
- ... of cyberpunk literature, he makes a drastic departure from what some consider "glossy utopian views" of the conventional science fiction. Gibson presents a very, and perhaps overly, pessimistic vision of the future, showing the negative effect the forthcoming technologies might have on human life and the gloomy outcomes of technology that progresses faster than humans do. The context in which, William Gibson has written his book was that of growing anxiety ... father of a new species. 11 This ambition is very close to that of capitalism: to exploit nature's resources for both commercial profit and political control.

The reason it isn't necessary to go "to go to [all that] trouble" is "...the relation between cause and effect is obvious.

So Frazier, the "experimental scientist" now abandons experiment itself, and presents himself as a purveyor of ...
