Based on the documentary A.B.B, do you think all the vices committed by Julius Ceaser were necessary in order to safeguard the superirity of Rome as the greatest civilization in the ancient world?
Julius Ceaser was a legend. From
the documentary, what he did to safeguard the superiority of Rome as the
greatest civilization in the ancient world is indeed necessary because at that
time there is no time like us now there is only war in order to achieve
something back then using violation. Ceaser does not care what people say, he’s
doing an immoral acts by sleeping all the wives of the senators to show to the
other man that he is immortal and no one dares to fights him. He did that
because he wants to show that he rules everything and to avoid the usurpation
among the politician. The battle in Alesia had it reason itself; the reason why
Ceaser let the enemy die with starvation is there is not enough food to supply
for his army and his enemy, it is divide and conquer, he had to think for his
army first and his safety. The chopping hands issues are a strategy to remind those
who oppose the roman civilization is to fear the hearts and mind. In
conclusions, even though Ceaser is evil, what he did is for his country is for
their benefits, to protect the Rome itself.
Do you agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Ceaser?
Based from the history events,
Brutus is a noble man. He had the noble motive when he killed his own father,
Julius Ceaser. He did that because he did not want the future to become worse
when Ceaser reach the throne and become tyrant. There are reasons why Brutus
did such thing. Ceaser is an evil man that could do anything in order to
achieve power. He had done many an immoral acts towards the society plus he had
slept with the senators’ wife and he did not show the good image of him for
being a leader itself. Brutus had no intention of taking the power by killing
his father, he just want to stop Ceaser from worsen. In conclusion, what he did
is noble, but from the killing, many other man wants to take over the throne
and it has become a fight and leads to civil war that cause Brutus own death.
What is the evidence that supports the claim that James Kelly was JTR? If you are a rival detective, how do you eliminate all the evidence that you've identified in the documentary?
I had watched “Jack the Ripper in
America” and from my research about the case, James Kelly was the JTR. He was
sent off to Asylum because he had killed his wife by stabbing her neck and the
other five canonical were killed the same way. He had managed to escape from
the asylum using old fashioned key in 1988. The murder does not happen when he
is in the asylum. That shows he is the JTR obviously. Apart from that, what
makes him expert in killing is the expertise of him in as a furniture
upholsterer which is good in handling the knives. From my opinion, back then
there was no technology that could trace a serial killer, but nowadays, there is
lot of technologies that could trace a killer. For me, he is just insane person
who is obsessed in killing.

Aspect of the plot that is accurate to the historical fact in the Jack The Ripper murders and which aspect of the plot that is based on the filmmakers' own imagination. In Hell.
Inspector Frederick Abberline
investigates the Ripper crimes. For me, the aspects for the plot that is
accurate to the historical facts are the murder chain which includes 5 prostituted
of women that are known each other. The killing was brutal and extremely
consists of body parts that are torn apart. The way the killing by Jack the
Ripper is a fact. The way the throat had been cut, and all of the victims are
woman, which is prostitute. The plot that is based on filmmakers owns imagination
is the love between the detective and the prostitute that want to know as “unfortunate”.
Apart from that, the plot is about political such as the relationship between
the duke and the prostitute and the duke is the ripper. Furthermore, the plot
is using the Freemason theory which includes the ritual that is maybe
superstitious. The film shows the detective is addicted to drugs and believes that
he possesses supernatural power in him.

SUPER SIZE ME
Do you feel insulted if people call you fat? What does it
feels like? Is it your fault for being like that? Calories have been the fault
for it if not else. Scientifically, calorie is a unit of energy-producing
potential supplied by food and released upon oxidation by the body, equal to
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water
by 1°C at one atmosphere pressure. Based on the documentary that had been given
that is “super size me”, I disagree that fast food is the cause of obesity
around the world. It is not the fault of the owner of the fast foods because
opening it, they just do their work, it’s their job to gain profit from it. We
as a consumer should not blame them. Blame on ourselves instead. It is true
that the man from the video did the experiment on himself to see whether fast foods
bring bad effects towards us. He consumes fast foods for 30 days and ended up sick.
From my point of view, eating fast food often does not cause obesity instantly,
but it generates illness instantly and can cause death. The sickness that we
can get is such as compilation to breathe, diabetes and other serious illness
problem. What attract me more as a man is, do you ever want to end up cannot
use your “strength” in bed to pleasure your loved ones? Such as in Malaysia,
there are variety of foods that can bring obesity but we are not like the
United States that are stated there are large number of fat people there. It is up to ourselves to consume it or not.
We are mature enough to know the good and bad thing. Yes fast foods are really
delicious as we know, but can we avoid from it? Can we shut it down? It lies
down on us whether to pick a healthy life or no.
ANCIENT ALIENS: THE EVIDENCE
UFO, flying saucer, laser gun, big
eyes, what sorcery is that? Technically, scientifically, it is different in
nature which is called “Alien”. Does anyone believe such thing? Some of our
experts in this alien thing had discovered some of the evidence that shows they
did visit our beloved called Earth. The evidence is shown in the documentary by
History channel that called “Ancient Aliens: The Evidence”. As we can see from
the video, most the place has taken at Egypt. How in the world the people of
the ancient know the far greater technologies from us now? How they build the
pyramid with such a big stone perfectly carved and lifted it to make an
enormous pyramid? What attract me more is, they already made the perfect flying
machine model and more advanced from us now. But, there are no actual flying
machines that discovered yet and where the apparatus came from. The question
is, where did the technologies came from? Some people stated that it came from
the sky, the aliens. They stated that the aliens use their technologies to help
the ancients. For me, I disagree with the alien’s thing. From my opinion, the
people from the ancients are actually are far bigger than us and the Egyptian
uses great number of slave to lift the stone and carved it. For the flying
machine model part, I think it is coincidence because, imagine if we are little
kids, and we saw the birds fly, of course we want to fly too. Based on my
understanding, they are brilliant than us before. But unluckily, they did not
manage to pass on the technologies to us now. It remains mystery.
