In Thomas The Age Of Reason
1,579 wordsThomas Paine wrote The Age of Reason in 1784. In it he included his views on the religions known throughout the world. For this, he was ridiculed and despised by many in society. Thomas Paine once said that a sermon he heard at the age of eight impressed him with the cruelty inherent in Christianity and made him a rebel forever.

878 wordsThe film Fight Club, with its critique of 1990 s American mass consumerism and its effect on the country's majority of movie-going audiences (mostly white males 16 - 34), should be considered a controversial film.
