To cheat or not to cheat?

The more students cheat, the more they become dependent upon it, because when they cheat, they don't learn, which catches up with them, especially in subjects like math and languages, where learning is cumulative. It also becomes harder to cheat, and, eventually, it all breaks down and they get caught or begin to fail in their subjects. When it comes time to take college entrance exams, they realize how little they have learned, and the result is they don't do well, don't get into a decent university and get a mediocre job in society.

Night of the Living Dead(1968)


Night of the Living Dead helped to loosen the reigns of the "gothic era of horror" (which was sending it into a downward spiral) by modernizing the setting for fear to that of today's world. This familiarity help to produce fear that felt more real, even if outrageous. "Night" examined the human will to survive, with or without the help of his fellow men. I've decided (but may change my mind) to try and stay away from discussing the social commentary of this film (I could do a whole page on it), because George Romero has stated that nothing was done on purpose (i.e. casting a Black man in the lead, etc.), but will admit the film does reflect his feelings of the time.
