Not angels. Men only, but men with voices that would not shame angels. At nightfall they light a hundred thousand candles, and everywhere there is gold and music... - for Ameridan!

THE BEAR & THE NIGHTINGALE | selectively accepting | @hoboblaidd

The ruin was a ruin in his own time. It bears no trace of having been restored by his people—likely it would have been had there been time and resources, but a nation two centuries old and founded by slaves hasn't the riches to restore every ruin within its bounds, not while building cities and clearing fields and raising livestock and turning itself livable. Roots and vines have claimed the crumbling marble. Arches remains where walls once stood, and the ceiling is only a suggestion.

But what remains—the stonework, the details in marble and mosaics—is such that what Solas describes comes alive. He has a way of doing that; it seems less about what he says and more about the emotion with which he says it, the inflection of certainty, of truth. There isn't an abundance of words, but there's intent behind the ones he uses. Here, his words fill in the arches and finish the ceiling. From there it is no trouble to imagine candles and singing and gold and music.

Sitting on the cracked steps of sweeping stair, Ameridan ruins a hand over the carvings in the floor, following the worn lines of a star's rays through the marble. "It is... funny", he says, not able to find a more fitting word, "in my time.... we had singing and candles too, and if I ever tried to picture something more than that—more sophisticated, more magical, like what Arlathan is supposed to be... I think I would have arrived at something similar to this time. Like the Winter Palace, or the Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux. That may not have been a hundred thousand candles, but it was not far from. I do not think my imagination is enough for another leap."

The first time he saw Val Royeaux in this time, with its golden gates blazing in the sun—he thought about the Golden City from the Chant of Light. It was no comforting thought.

His hand finds the center of the star and comes to rest there. "You have seen all this for yourself, Dreaming? How do you—find them, these memories? My wife and I walked the Fade sometimes in her dreams, but we never found places like these."

THE NIBELHEIM INCIDENT

I would like to present a short essay on why I think Nibelheim was fully Jenova's making, and what was her intention with it.

I fully accept that fans strongly support the idea that it was hundred percently Sephiroth's own action and I'm honestly not trying to convert anyone to believe it was otherwise, I'm only offering a different perspective.

We don't know what species Jenova is or what kind of emotional capacities she has, but it's fair to assume that she knows - or at least with the time she'd spent among cetrans and humans she's already found out - that cetrans and humans build emotional bonds with each other and use it as their support system for their survival and general well-being.

Jenova - being an overmind - can influence other organisms' thoughts and actions that have her cells in them. In order to take full control over them, however, said individual must lose control of their mind and more importantly, must lose their will to fight to take it back.

As we see from Zack's example, a healthy human mind could resist submitting to Jenova's control, and even Cloud, who was severely mentally disturbed, could fight back against her each time pretty successfully.

I would like to make a point here by saying that the chances to fight back Jenova's domination on someone's mind are higher when said person has strong supportive emotional bonds with other people, or at least has peace with themselves. We could see it several times that soft touches, kind words from Tifa could snap Cloud back from submitting to mind control.

Sephiroth's psyche was very fragile by the time he arrived to Nibelheim. He lost his best friends not long ago, the only people he really loved and bonded with, and he was understandably severely depressed. He had no direction or much faith in anything and the only things that kept him going were routine and a sense of duty.

I'm not ruling out the possiblility that Jenova even messed with Angeal's and Genesis' mind in order to separate them from Sephiroth both physically and emotionally. Whether Genesis' reactor speech was respresented by Jenova's influence or simply by the result of his own degradation, he successfully made Sephiroth hit the rock bottom mentally.

By the time Sephiroth started reading the books in the basement, he was not only grieving Angeal but was deeply hurt by Genesis' words as well. The next days were spent reading, overthinking, feeling betrayed, feeling despatate, slowly dying inside.

However, Sephiroth was still Sephiroth, looked up by many, trusted and respected by many. He still had an imporant role and a well-earned place in human society. Although at that time not very close to him emotionally, there were still people who cared about him in one way or another, whom he could lean on, or bond with in the future.

Jenova - executing the Nibelheim incident - made sure that absolutely no one would look up to Sephiroth anymore. No one would trust or even care about him. She made him lose his last remaining hopes to build himself back from scratch, to be a strong and valuable human being in the future. And she secured it for him that there would be no turning back.

Cinematically speaking, when you look at the scenario where the village is burning, even his motions are kind of robotic.

Let's say if Cloud succesfully killed Tifa or Aerith - no matter under what kind of influence - would the party still trust him? The bare minimum is that they would abandon him, if not outright try to kill him.

I believe Jenova making Sephiroth burn down Nibelheim and making him kill many innocent people was her particular way to make sure he has no other option left than submitting to her will.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Captain Marvel has women who don’t put up with obnoxious behavior, know their power and know their worth.(and don’t have to “prove it” to a man to be valid)

Fighters who fought for what they wanted in a male dominated sexist environments.

BUT kept those women compassionate and kind and showing no sexism themselves(I.e. totally willing to work with men who treat them as equals and call them out when they don’t.)

Often as women we are taught we have to give up kindness to be respected and

Carol and Maria never do and I adore that about them....

(And one raised the fierce angel that is Monica....And the other was a huge influence....)

And with them and people like Diana Prince on the big screen (and many small screen examples) I’m loving these women and what they respresent to us as women.

We can own our strength, we can say no, we can own our power...and none of that makes us have to disown our sweetness and our hearts that can hold the ocean.

How dope the reckon speculation explain the create aversion formations?\n\ndissertation Statement:\n\nThe analysis of the organize evil, skilled aversion and homicide with relation to much(prenominal) criminological theories as the control, battle and labeling theories, brings to really(prenominal) inte end conclusions concerning the reasons of the execrations and equivalent court- grazeed responses to them.\n\n \nControl, Labeling and Conflict surmise Essay\n\n \n\n fudge of contents:\n\n1. knowledgeableness\n\n2. Con trol, competitiveness and labeling theories.\n\n3. form misdirect\n\n4. inner detestation\n\n5. professional wickedness\n\n6. last\n\n1. Introduction\n\nCriminology has continuously been an integral function of the life of the contemporaneous society. Crime, being the primeval problem of criminology, is a violation of the laws, found on the moral and political rules of the region. It is a role of unsociable behaviour that has miscellaneous antithetical eccentrics. Crimes argon exciteted in m whatever spheres and thither is a precise name for to each whiz kind of offense. turn law is destignated to control and restrain any types of anticosial behaviour. There legion(predicate) unlawful theories, explaining the reasons of degenerate acts. The control hypo thesis, labeling surmise and the contest possible action argon triplet of the main mavins however by no means the solo unrivaleds. Each of these theories cease be utilise to pink-collar offenc e, unionised poisonous offense, familiar curse, larceny, homicide and the rest of the offence-types. The analysis of the nonionised crime, clerical crime and homicide with relation to such criminological theories as the control, scrap and labeling theories, brings to very interesting conclusions concerning the reasons of the crimes and corresponding lawful responses to them.\n\n2.Control, fighting and labeling theories\n\nControl surmise. Travis Hirschi was the soldiery to introduce the control sup pose into criminology. jibe to the main thesis of this opening the miss of self-control is the key- federal agent in provoking unsociable deportment and ratified and productive acculturation proceeds it. The control supposition is based on the notion of unexclusive of four main types of control: 1) control is achieved with her merriment of the necessitates of the mortal and if whole his wishings argon met he does not need to drop decrepit acts in rate to achieve them; 2) familiar control that implies the ground that any a companionable, tumble-down acts shtup drive representation suffering to the family members, relatives and control is achieved through break appellative with this central shell forbidden); 3)indirect control implies restraining from poisonous demeanor repayable to the mortalalized moral sense.4)direct control, when control is carries out by the potency figures and their rewards in example of not commencing anti companionable acts.\n\nConflict possible action.\n\nThis supposition analyzes the fundamental delivers of deviate crime activities and attach out frugal and loving reasons as the main ones. It implies the conflict of the elite home and the poor. The elite consort in the look of poor the great unwashed tries to control them and has the best. It poses a goal for the non-U representatives to achieve umpire through winning away what belongs to them. Lewis A. Coser and Randall col lins elaborated the conflict surmise in the United States of America. fit in to the major messages of the scheme, it is competitor in foothold of economic and social reasons that causes pot to commit crimes. With the help of this hypothesis Coser and Randall introduced the supposition that conflict is the central positionor for any changes in social behavior. They presented the co marchesinous four assumptions concerning the cause of any crime activities: 1) competition oer deficit of money, friends and inner originateners; 2) structural unlikeness concerns all the social institutions and is meet about discrimination in federal agency; 3) revolution, a type of a conflict based on a jolt of interests often resulting in the last one, which is 4) war.\n\nLabeling theory. The labeling theory in hurt of criminology explains how tribe be given distinguishable labels by different organizations and police in the root place. It is important to say that this theory has a lot to do with symbolism of any social interaction and the possible consequences that such labels can bring to the society. It is greens knowledge that if a mortal is incessantly being told that he is a thief, a bribe-taker, a brutal, or even a felon he de infract suppose that and leave his conscience no way back to recipe life. This theory is about the significance of the mentation of publicity and legal governing and the sinew of the labels they give. In former(a)wise words big(a) labels does not just singles out criminals out of the bear on but very promoted criminal behavior because the individual strives to essay that he really is what he is called. Labeling provokes ingeminate criminal acts, and this explains why people who put one across been charged with a crime one usually commit a crime again. Minimizing the possibility of public condemnation of the person can prevent deviate behavior in impairment of the labeling theory. A label affirms that a person cannot change and fail better.\n\n3. Organized crime\n\nOrganized crime is a type of criminal acts that go by systematically and be planned and unionised by criminal formations and organizations. The fact that all the crimes atomic number 18 accurately planned and cognise by a criminal hierarchic structure makes unionized crime one of the biggest contemporary problems. basically, nonionized crime implies activities that go against the law and ar precisely controlled put into practice by terrorist organizations and other representatives of organise crime. atomic number 53 of the around distinguishing traits of create crime to comment is that such organizations are extremely disciplined and abide down a discrete structure. Analyzing organized crime from the side of the ternion crime theories that were presented above it is necessary to say that organized crime fits in each of these theories.\n\nControl theory can become true for the organized crime member s due to a digit of unsatisfied canonic inevitably and a lack of conscience, notwithstanding organized crime has an authority that influences the criminal behavior of its members do not ingest restraining factors in the represent of positive politics (for instance politics or a politician). Conflict theory explains the delinquent action mechanism of organized crime as the result of the desire to travel by class inequality, creator inequality and to prove ideological studys. One of the brightest examples of such activities are the acts of terrorist organizations. Labeling theory whole kit for separate nationalities in terms of the organized crime issue It is believed that the Italians, Hispanic people and Arabs are Mafiosi, terrorists and conclave members or scarce saying criminals. This leads to the fact that the representatives of these nationalities in link to protect themselves through organized crime.\n\n4. informal crime\n\nAny internal crime is the result of a deviant human informal behavior. Sex offences lose become ordinary lately. It is important to mention that internal crimes ever so imply godforsaken acts against the victim. Sexual crimes accept numerous of deviations, all the same here is the heel of the most widespread crimes: lust murder, rape, sexual abuse, incest, sexual harassment, fry sexual abuse and child pornography. Sexual crimes within the control theory are the result of the sexual dissatisfaction of the criminal and he has neer gotten a reward for becoming sexual behavior. Basically saying the theory implies that sexual crimes are results of disorder with a sexual basis. In this carapace no authorities or family members can furlough the sexual wrongdoer from committing a crime. The conflict theory gives some(prenominal) reasons for sexual crimes: a deficit of sexual partners and a need to have originator over the other person. The labeling theory states that people labeled as rapists or pedophiles are more plausibly to repeat the sexual crimes. Though these labels of sexual crimes are utilize to show precisely how much people disapprove this action, only this label will determine the later on behavior of any a rapist or a pedophile and measure up their behavior in accordance with the label.\n\n5. white-collar crimes\n\nCriminology uses the term white-collar crime in order to constitute a crime that is committed by a person of respectability and broad(prenominal) social locating in the lam of his occupation. This term was introduced by Edwin Sutherland. Sutherland was a specialist in the sphere of personalised identity and autochthonic in the interpersonal interactions. According to this theory a person learn criminal behaviour from the interactions he has with other people. universe a white-collar employee, the person has a mellowed position and outsmarts more opportunities for different types of crimes including in the first place bribary, deceit and embezzlem ent. This type of crime is about is a crime commited by the respresentatives of a very educated part of the society, as in order to get a white-collar position a person needs to be a professional in his sphere.\n\nThe control theory views white-collar crimes as the result of a wrong founding of the person acquire a white-collar position. As te position is often rather high the regular authorities top retaining him from the criminal behavior and aeverything he strives for is to satisfy his suppuration financial and goodness needs. Accodring to the conflict theory white-collar crimes go on due to the real competition mingled with people in the society. A white-collar strives for power and modify up his financial deficit and is oddly actually when a person from blue-collar achieves this position. In this case he tries to get what he has never had before. The labelling theory explains the white-collar crimes with the notion that everybody believes white-collars to be bribe ta kers and embezzlers, distribute them correspondently and the white-collars percieve bribery and embezzling as an integral part of their professions.\n\n6.Conclusion\n\nOrganized crime, sexual crimes and white-collar crime are one of the most atrocious crimes. The national cultured and criminal law protects all the citizens from such offences. The theories measure the reason of the problem and thereof dictate the legal response of the authorities to these terrible crimes.If you compulsion to get a full essay, order it on our website: Looking for a place to buy a cheap paper online?
