Films are a source of heritage preservation.

Films are produced and stand as a collective memory of the past as witnessed by the moving image. These films allow us to illuminate our heritage with a power and immediacy that is unique only to film. Furthermore, filmmakers may also present a different angle from what is recorded in history textbooks. This is because by shooting a film, these people are able to portray a more personal touch and tell a different side of a story. As such, the heritage of a certain country or cultural heritage of a minority group is thus able to be preserved on film and the legacy passed down after many generations.

Other than the purpose of entertainment, some films have moral education embedded in them.

Take Avatar for example, which exemplifies the message that we should find happiness in nature, and that earth and all its man-made things are impossible to find happiness in, as Sully says later in the film. There is also the message about how man should be in harmony with nature and highlights the destructive effects of deforestation/global warming(indirectly)There are thousands of other examples, but the point is that most movies have some sort of message or moral education.

In recent years, however, films have been increasingly utilized, whether consciously or unconsciously, to influence mankind, thus rejecting the idea that the sole purpose of a film is to entertain.

In modern society, films are not only used to entertain, but also to educate, inform, and in some cases, indoctrinate society. Film makers are continually tapping into the influential film industry to change mankind, and a good example of it would be An Inconvenient Truth, a 2006 documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim, addressing the sensitive issue of climate change. In this case, a film was made, supposedly to educate, but upon further examination, one realises that a film can do so much more than just educate or entertain.

Early films were meant to entertain. Some examples include those of the late Charlie Chaplin- one of the most prominent and influential personalities of the silent- film era. It would be safe to say that most, if not all, of his films were meant to provide comic relief for the mass audiences.

1. Does God exist? The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today.

-The Earth

-Water

-The human brain

-The eye

2. Does God exist? The universe had a start - what caused it?

>The universe has not always existed. It had a start...what caused that? Scientists have no explanation for the sudden explosion of light and matter.

3. Does God exist? The universe operates by uniform laws of nature. Why does it?

How is it that we can identify laws of nature that never change? Why is the universe so orderly, so reliable?

"The greatest scientists have been struck by how strange this is. There is no logical necessity for a universe that obeys rules, let alone one that abides by the rules of mathematics. This astonishment springs from the recognition that the universe doesn't have to behave this way. It is easy to imagine a universe in which conditions change unpredictably from instant to instant, or even a universe in which things pop in and out of existence."

4. Does God exist? The DNA code informs, programs a cell's behavior.

5. Does God exist? We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him.

6. Does God exist? Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God revealing himself to us.

even though it is unhealthy, it is convenient especially in our fast paced style of life. People are constantly on the move and tend to choose the convenient. Unless organic food can be made cheaper or even healthier food made more accessible, fast food culture is seen to be much more accessible and will continue due to the differing eating habits of humans
