Advantages: Very interesting. Democratic? Disadvantages: Totalitarian?
seems as confused as (and certainly not as dry as), say, Aristotle. Not only that, it was another of those fairly influential books (probably why it?s still studied today) ? something the Jacobins seized on, then corrupted, in the French Revolution, and arguably at the break between classical and modern thought.
The cheapo edition of Social Contract is the Wordsworth Classic, translated by Derek Matravers (and pictured on Dooyoo) at Ł2.99. My copy?s the Oxford University Press one, which includes Rousseau?s Discourse on Political Economy, as well as helpful notes with the text (Ł5.99). You might, however, want to look for the Everyman edition (also Ł5.99), which I believe also includes the Discourse on Inequality ? Rousseau?s other major political work.

Advantages: Owen Wilson. Disadvantages: Owen Wilson in that stupid wig!
Another one of my favourite movies to write a review on. Anybody who's ever spoken to me will probably know by now that I love watching movies, and I love Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, so this film is obviously the perfect way to waste an hour and a half for me.

Advantages: sorta funny, silly cameos, '80s music Disadvantages: repetitive, not that funny
models in the film. Yes, Derek is stupid, but he is also earnest and wants to make a difference in the world by creating a school 'for kids who can't read good.'
'There must be more to life than being really really ridiculously good-looking,' he muses.
'Zoolander' features a few funny lines, but I don't want to ruin what little value the movie has by reporting them here.
From Lance Bass to Natalie Portman, 'Zoolander' is full of cameos, and the plot seems to be somewhat of an afterthought. Even the actual characters feel like cameos with Vince Vaughn as Derek's brother and Jon Voight as his father. None of the characters have depth, and 'Zoolander' features one cliché after another including the ubiquitous son who wants to make his father proud.
One of the main caricatures (yes, I meant to write that) is the villain Jacobin ...
