There are plentiful of movies that talk about their own theory of what they believe happens after someone dies. Many cultures have their own theories but nobody really knows what happens after you do die. I'm afraid that there is only one realm where all the dead souls stay and attempt to capture a body to be able to live again because ghosts and souls want to live and again. They are lonely and miss the feeling of pain, pleasure and love. For example, in the movie "Insidious" it talks about how there is a realm where the dead roam until they get out of there and taken to heaven. Josh and his son, Dalton, have a special gift of being able to go to sleep and return to that realm. After being in that realm for a while, souls see you and while you're dreaming, they'll try to possess your body. This movie itself scared me as well as the way they described the other realm of dead souls and it made me question what does happen after people die. In the book/movie "Lovely Bones", Salmon describes the heaven she went to as a heaven that adjusts to her and what she wanted in a heaven. Everybody's heaven is a little different but yet it has school that all the little kids attend to counsel them about dying. Will our heaven that we go into be a euphoria like Salmon's or will we be stuck in a wretched, horrible, terrifying, realm of our worst nightmares like in "Insidious"? Where will we all go? Will we have an afterlife? Or will we be re-born into different animals or people according to the Buddhist religion?

Julian Assange, Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning, and Edward Snowden; Are they Martyrs or Traitors?
I personally think that Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, and Edward Snowden are not martyrs nor are they traitors. I do not believe that they are "sacraficing themselves to the noble cause of freedom of speech and transparency". I believe that exposing the truth is a hobby for Assange and that they all feel like the people of United States should know what the government is doing behind their backs; because it is we the people who grant those men the power to choose and speak on our behalf. If the National Defense is going to brutally attack innocent Iraq citizens and that leads to an uproar in the Iraq government. The Iraq government will rage war upon us and not only will the soldiers be impacted; we the people will be at risk of being killed. It is a good thing to have people who don't trust the government and leak out information to the public so they can be informed about U.S.'s behind-the-scenes drama.
An important event that is impacting us is the tension between the U.S. and Syrian. I recently saw a video of a Syrian man showing us what he would do to the U.S.'s soldiers if we weren't careful with our next move. In the video, the Syrian man cuts out the soldiers organs and holds it out to the camera and then eats a part of the heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEZUraRor1o). I saw this on Facebook and thought it was a hoax but it was on CNN.com so I realized that it was a real and a warning to the U.S.to watch their next move. This video was showed through CNN to make sure the public is aware of the Syrian rebel's potential so I don't see why Assange is being accused. Newspaper, websites and other informative media publish information that may not be approved by the government but they don't get punished or put in prison do they? Just because in this situation, there is actually a person at the stand doesn't give them the right to convict him of publishing secrets as a crime. Other media are harder to convict because there isn't a person to bring up to the stand and I understand that but Assange did nothing wrong. He has his rights of freedom of speech and press. Plus, people anonymously post their findings on their website so the U.S. should target the ones that gave Assange's website the information. Therefore, the "crime" that he allegedly committed can not be charged against him because he has his freedoms of speech, press, and because other media services aren't charged/convicted of the crime of publishing secrets. So once the government finds a away to punish everybody equally; he can come and serve Assange's plate with the punishment that they think he deserves.
