Battle against the Undead and Umbrella Corporation

Battle against the Undead and Umbrella Corporation


Do you know what you are doing next Friday? Many people are patiently awaiting for the opening day for the 5th rendition of "Resident Evil." I have been looking forward to September 14 for a long long time, and I can't contain myself of the excitement. This time the movie is titled "Retribution" - the act of repaying or repairing something that has been damaged. The cast of Resident Evil have began their retribution and taking back the world from the virus spread.
Old characters such as Jill Valentine and characters that died such as Rain, One, and Carlos will come back in this movie. I am sure the audience will be wondering how they prepare the story line for the characters to come back to live since they were killed in the past Resident Evil movies. The new movie also has new characters, "Ada Wong" and "Leon S. Kennedy" who are included in many of the resident evil games. "Retribution" will be in 3D as well.

 All the Resident Evil movies have been really awesome and have been successful as big money makers for the movie company. It is a great action packed, adrenaline pumping type of movie. Nothing is nothing quite like girls in skinny tight clothing kicking ass, all the makings of a must-see movie.

Where Do You Stand?

How familiar are people nowadays with the current political system?

Bills are being signed into law such as NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) with zero coverage from media. How important is it to become aware of the political world?

Below are some questions to keep in mind while you view the video regarding political awareness:


Do we care about ending the endless wars, fiscal crisis, policing the world, learning about the Federal Reserve and inflation?

How many people are aware of the debt this country is currently holding?

Do we really care about the upholding of the Constitution or has it merely become insignificant?

Is it important nowadays to have self-awareness before involving ourselves to any issues?

Do we bother to look at our history so we can learn to avoid making the same mistake from the past?
How well do we listen to our soldiers to what they're saying or are we just too fast in saying that we support the troops?

Do we look at the long-term effect of our involvement in international conflicts and how it might affect other people?

How well do we know about the NDAA? How about those GOP candidates? What is your opinion on Obama's presidency? Who is Ron Paul? Does anybody care about the election anymore or did majority of the people gave up on the broken system we have in the United States?

Have we lost the sense of self-responsibility and became dependent to the government to have them interfere with our social lives?

Has politics and religion become the neutral subject that many people avoid to discuss?

Have we fallen deep into the media's bias coverage and lies that we can't even acknowledge facts anymore? How do we deal with issues objectively without making decisions based on emotions?

Have most people traded our freedom for security?

Conducting interviews in Jersey City area regarding politics was an awakening experience. It is interesting to see how people interpret and understand certain issues in politics. As adults, it is wise to educate ourselves and keep an open mind before jumping to conclusion too quickly prior to getting all the facts. Communication and acceptance are two important components in the learning process that we should consider.
