Randle McMurphy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest acts as a Christ figure to the other patients of the ward, bringing hope and dignity to them against their oppressor Nurse Ratched. He fights for his friends (the other patients), which eventually leads to him getting lobotomized (crucified). His “spirit” remains with them after his lobotomy, along with the patient Chief who escapes acting as the resurrection of McMurphy’s words.

We will use film analysis techniques, shot frames, and video clips to argue this thesis: Wonder Woman is portrayed as a Christ figure through her self-sacrifice, sense of justice, and ability to perform miracles through the use of various film techniques.
“The Troubles” in Northern Ireland refers to a time of conflicts, public murders, and terrorist attacks in the closing decades of the 20th century, often characterized as a conflict about religion, pitting Irish Catholics versus Protestants. But were the Troubles really about religious differences? This project critiques that simplistic characterization, demonstrating that social inequities, the vestiges of colonialism, and an apocalyptic hermeneutic contributed at least as much to the Troubles as religion.
Indigenous history is largely ignored in public school education in the United States, which results in problematic consequences for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Indigenous children experience marginalization that impacts academics and behavior, whereas non-Indigenous children develop inaccurate beliefs of the Indigenous population—savages, scalping, etc.— that frame and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. Do public schools in the United States have a moral responsibility to teach Indigenous history?
Fracking is a hot topic of debate because, on one hand, the methane gas that is collected from fracking provides a tremendous boost to the economy, and has the potential to be a more environmentally friendly alternative to coal. On the other hand, fracking has been proven to be a major pollutant of the atmosphere and ground water sources, and a major health risk for people who live near fracking sites. The major ethical conflict surrounding fracking is whether the economic advantages outweigh the dangers, both to the environment and the health of the people living near the sites.
