Để lưu lại những chứng tích anh hùng của nhân dân Việt Nam trong cuộc đấu tranh chống các thế lực xâm lược, đồng thời để tố cáo những tội ác và nêu bật những hậu quả tàn khốc của cuộc chiến tranh xâm lược, ngày 4/9/1975 Nhà Trưng bày tội ác Mỹ - Ngụy được mở cửa phục vụ công chúng. Sau đó, Nhà Trưng bày tội ác Mỹ - Ngụy được đổi tên thành Nhà Trưng bày Tội ác Chiến tranh xâm lược (ngày 10/11/1990) trước khi trở thành Bảo tàng Chứng tích Chiến tranh (ngày 4/7/1995).

I Love You

...don’t know…” but this time I do. I know what it is that I want. And if I don’t get it then we can’t be what we are! Tintin I want you and I want you to want me the way I want you. I don’t like any bloody friend of yours. I don’t even find him good looking. I pretend so that I can spend time with you when we run out of topics in public. It is not like I was not living until you came along but now that I have met you, I have realized that how incomplete I was without you and how difficult it will be to go on without you. I see a future where we are together always. A place where we fight like siblings, argue like couples and care for each other more than anything in this world. I write when I am sad. And right now I am extremely sad. Behind these eyes I hide a lot of secrets and dark pasts. You know nothing about the life I have lived. I am not the really the happy-go-lucky girl. I am the quite little girl who is scared on the inside just coz I don’t want my heart to be broken again. Before I met you I had a guy in my life not a boyfriend but yes something very close to that. He hit me. I loved him more than anyone. He scattered my heart into a million pieces. I picked up the pieces and loved you. Loved you with whatever I had left. But not anymore, I can’t pretend to not love; I already am in love with you. You took my heart away the very first time you met...

All You Need Is Love

...Love. Love is a big word. It contains a lot of different aspects. It can hurt, but it can also give happiness. It is a boundless feeling when you are loved, but it is also important to give love back so you can be happy together. Many people say: All you need is love. But what is the meaning of this. When people feel loved nothing else matters. I would say, that just as important it is to be loved, just as important it is to give love back. It is important that people around you can feel your love, and then they can be happy because of you. The truth is, when you give love, you will get a lot of things back. Not just love, but also happiness, smiles, and often will this love be so convincing, that it will be hard to break. Not everyone will experience this kind of love, but everyone will experience love. It can be love between siblings, love between friends, love to your parents or children. Actually it can just be the love for your dog or cat. They can also feel the love and give love back. They just have their own way. There is also another popular expression from the time where The Beatles made their song, “All you need is love”. The song became very popular and was connected to the expression “Make Love not War”. When you feel love, you also feel strong. It gives you power and strength. That is a very important point in the song and in the phrase. It gives you the ability to feel that you can do everything you want. Suddenly you do not care about what other people think...

P.S. I Love You

...“P.S. I Love You” Cindy Sheldon ENG225: Introduction to Film Instructor: Sarah Snook September 7, 2013 “P.S. I Love You” Introduction: For this film critique essay I will be writing about the movie P.S. I Love You (2007). This paper will explore the storytelling, the actors as well as how they act in the film. We will explore the cinematography, editing, sound, and the style and directing for this movie. The last few things we will explore are the impact this film had on society (if any), the genre, what is the best way to analyze this film. When all these aspects of the movie are examined we will see how a script comes to life on the big screen. Storytelling: This film is shot in non-linear form, it starts with the present and throughout the movie we are given glimpses into the past. This story takes place in several different places which include Ireland and New York City. The main female character (Holly) experiences an internal conflict when her husband Gerry passes away from an illness at a very young age. Holly is able to resolve her conflict with help from her friends, family, and her deceased husband. The symbolism in this film is that love can overcome anything including death. For us, the viewers, relates to our human nature. If we are lucky we have all been able to experience the type of love that is portrayed in this film. That love that we never see coming, but hits us like a “ton of bricks”. The kind of love most of us only get to experience...

Maggie and Victor, a couple in their mid-fifties who were contemplating divorce after twenty-nine years of marriage, told me this story: "We met in graduate school," Maggie recalled. "We were renting rooms in a big house with a shared kitchen. I was cooking breakfast when I looked up and saw this man-Victor- walk into the room. I had the strangest reaction. My legs wanted to carry me to him, but my head was telling me to stay away. The feelings were so strong that I felt faint and had to sit down." Once Maggie recovered from shock, she introduced herself to Victor, and the two of them spent half the morning talking. "That was it," said Victor. "We were together every possible moment for the next two months, and then we eloped."

Because Allah Loves You

...“Because Allah Loves You” From high-profile fashion designers and page-three people housed in the plush residences of South Delhi, to the middle-class and upper middle-class strata of the West, from the business families of Rajouri Garden, to the poverty-stricken slums of Seemapuri in the East, Delhi thrives on the most disparate lifestyles one can, or cannot, imagine. The capital city of India, thus, is home to all: the rich, the very rich, the poor and the very poor. No matter how modern we may claim to be becoming, a certain section of the society seems inevitably destined, unfortunately so, to live lives of poverty, hunger and misery. While the wealthy live, unaware of what all they have, the poor also live, unaware of what all they do not have. Hiba and Hamid's is a story belonging to the latter of the two categories. “... So, that is how you do it. Make sure you have blown just enough air into the toy—nothing more, nothing less. If it is less, it will look bad and they won’t buy it. If you keep filling in more gas, it could burst. So you have to be very, very careful. Okay, Hiba?” It took Hamid around twenty minutes to explain to his sister the basics of the craft he had mastered by now, at just twelve years of age. “But, why are we making these toys, bhai?” Hiba asked innocently. “To earn money,” he tried to brush aside the silliness in the question, and picked up another toy to breathe life into.

Have You Ever Experienced Falling in Love?

...Have you ever experienced falling in love? How do you know if you're in love? Does age really matter when you fall in love? What does love feel like? These are some of the questions asked by teenagers like me. I, as a teenager, admit that I have loved someone, and have been loved back. At first, I didn't know that, but I woke up one morning and realized that I was in love with him. I taught myself that time that I was too young for love since I was just 15 years old back then, but in reality, age does not really matter at all. Love is the greatest feeling in the whole world. Moreover, as a teenager we can't help but get curious in things like love. So I decided to read an article about teenage love. And while I was browsing the internet, I've come across an article entitled "What Teenage Love is" by Francis Githinji an Online Dating Expert. Furthermore, in everyone’s teenage years, we will encounter different people, get interested with someone, we want to be loved and fall in love. There will also come a time in our adolescent years where we will get an urge to fall in love with someone so that we will not be left behind with what is trending, because this is part of our physical growth as a teen. Francis Githinji states that "Teenage is a confusing place to be because you are not old enough to be called mature and you are not too young to be called a child.” Francis is right, we are in a place of confusion because sometimes...

When You Love You Should Not Say "God Is in My Heart, " but Rather, "I Am in the Heart of God."

...When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God." When you love you should believe that you are in his/her heart. For me these quotations teach us to have trust in our love once just like when giving trust in God. Trust is the very thing that everybody in this world desires, or at least should desire from one another. Who wants to have a friendship or relationship without trust? Nobody does. Without trust, there is no friendship, and without friendship, there is no love. I believe that trust is an even greater compliment than to be loved! I believe George Macdonald said it best when he stated "To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved." When I read this quote for the first time, I thought to myself, "Wow that is so true. How can you be loved if you are not trusted first?" It is a special thing to be trusted by someone. Having trust is very important. It’s a big part in a relationship. Being truthful is the key to establishing trust in any type of relationship. In a romantic type of relationship, jealousy can be a major cause for a lack of trust. Both parties must have trust. In any case of relationship, trust is built, earned, and maintained. For example: If you had an ex who cheated on you, you might start experiencing trust issues in relationships with others especially when you get close to one another. It may be difficult and you may end up not being able to trust the other person. When someone loses your trust...

...significant reality.” So what else do we think we cannot live without? Another of life’s essentials is a good internet connection, according to a second study of British homebuyers. One in 10 house-hunters say they have walked away from a home because of poor internet connections. In fact, high-speed internet ranks above off-street parking, a doctors’ surgery nearby and a good local pub, according to the survey by BroadbandChoices.co.uk. Other changes to our spending choices, according to recent surveys, are: • switching to free forms of exercise such as walking • using price comparison websites to get the best deals • travelling off-peak for cheaper tickets • buying food on offer in the supermarket • shorter holidays MORE FOR LESS However, some households are spending more on some items – but still making a trade-off. Around a fifth are prepared to spend more money on a single item of clothing as they feel they will get more wear out of it and it will last longer, according to a survey from First Direct. In addition, a quarter say they would have a shorter holiday, but stay in a nicer resort. One in five do not drink in the week so they can enjoy going out at the weekend. Karen Pine, professor of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, says: “Millions of years of evolution have hard-wired our brains for offset thinking. Our primitive ancestors survived by making trade-offs - always reallocating resources to get the best from them. Modern decisions are different...

Is It Possible to Maintain Your Individuality If You Are in Love? What Does "Individuality" Mean Here, and How Might the Concept of "Romantic Love" Relate to That Meaning? (Discuss with Reference to Nozick and Solomon.)

...the ability of a person to fully sustain their uniqueness and independence in their full extent whilst being in love. By entering into a relationship, both parties will do so for personal gain and pleasure, but simultaneously the union of two people results. Romantic love causes the limitation of one’s individuality in important decisions that pertain to both of them, yet, regular decisions that don’t affect them simultaneously can still able to be made individually. While choices throughout life are constantly influenced by a person’s surroundings, the person with whom you are in love will ultimately be the one who has the greatest impact on your autonomy. The Greek terminologies to describe love between people include ‘eros’ translated as sexual, passionate or romantic love and ‘philia’ translated as the love within friendship between others (Halwani, 2010). Since romantic love is an emotion, it is difficult to define as the reason for love because it constantly changes; both circumstances as well as reasons for attractions differ (Halwani, 2010). W. Newton-Smith, therefore explains that a sexual dimension is a generally necessary feature of romantic love, as this appears to be constant. In addition, a necessary feature of romantic love, as well as any love, is the concern over the contentment and welfare of the beloved. Other features Halwani includes are love between two people that is reciprocated, strong emotions and desires between lovers, resulting in marriage and procreation...

How Far Do You Agree That Carol Anne Duffy Presents a Cynical View of Love and Marriage in “the Worlds Wife”?

...How far do you agree that Carol Anne Duffy presents a cynical view of love and marriage in “The Worlds Wife”? I completely agree that in “The Worlds Wife” Carol Anne Duffy presents a critical view of love and marriage. She presents the reader with an array of relentless and unapologetically feminist poems consisting of a large number of personas, who are witheringly contemptuous of the men they have ended up with, generally inadequate, self-obsessed and immature. Each poem carrying an implicit message of feminine virtues governed by the somewhat scorn of women. However I feel that Rather than directly criticize the institutions of love and marriage, Carol Anne Duffy is criticizing the moral foundations upon which these institutions are based in our modern society. This critique of modern “marital ethics” appears to play a central role in all her poems in the way that the flaws of love and marriage are portrayed from a feminist perspective. In Mrs. Beast Duffy is attacking the way that males and females are conditioned into thinking that love and marriage are a battleground for the masculine and feminine ego’s.Mrs Beast is the ideal example of how dominance (male or female) is the main focus of many marriages.Mrs Beast believes that it is only by completely domineering her husband and taking the role traditionally seen as that of the man can she break the stereotype of “the dominant male” and be successful in her marriage. Duffy shows Mrs. Beasts dominance through her use...
