begins to care for Ellie like his own daughter: he shields her from danger, keeps her back from the zombies, and ultimately lays himself down for her safety. Joel’s masculine image is laced with an emotional depth that is not present in Chris in Resident Evil 5. Joel is the closest thing to a leading man in the story, but he ends up co-leading through Ellie, even though the player does not control her. The two develop emotionally as a pair. While Joel opens up to become more father-like to Ellie, Ellie

An investigation into exploring the representation of women in horror films. With reference to Resident Evil Retribution 2012 and Halloween 1978 I am going to explore how females are represented in horror films. The representation of females has changed dramatically in society which is reflected in horror films. In general, traditionally women are stereotypically playing the weaker role, involved in danger and attacked by a stronger character, usually played by a male. The key concept of my investigation

1. Was the Tuskegee experiment a case of “administrative evil?” Yes, the Tuskegee experiment is a case of administrative evil. According to Morrison (2011), administrative evil occurs when an environment lacking compassion or conscience is allowed to govern decision making.
