Sarma* INTRODUCTION What if federal authorities captured Walter White? Considering that he committed the murders of many individuals and orchestrated many more in the course of building and running his global meth trade, the prosecution would be able to seek the ultimate punishment against him. But, would a jury give him the death penalty? Walter’s gripping journey stirred within viewers a range of complex emotions, but even those re- volted by his actions must concede that it is extraordinarily difficult to envision a random collection of twelve people unanimously agreeing that he deserves a state-sanctioned execution. Indeed, it seems that many of us actually rooted for Walter throughout the series, even when we strug- gled to understand why. This Essay explores the answer to the question of why we would spare Walter White from the death penalty.

  • “I Am the One Who Knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. by Stephanie Wille Submitted to the Graduate Degree P
    “I am the one who knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. By Stephanie Wille Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John C. Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Ron Wilson ________________________________ Dr. Germaine Halegoua Date Defended: August 18, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for Stephanie Wille certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “I am the one who knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John C. Tibbetts Date approved: October 30, 2014 iii Abstract Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-2013) dramatizes the rise and fall of Walter White, a mild- mannered high school chemistry teacher who, through a series of misfortunes and freak opportunities, is transformed into a notorious, brutal drug kingpin -- a trajectory described as "Mr. Chips" to "Scarface." I contextualize and conduct a textual analysis of this acclaimed television series as a case study that demonstrates the increasingly complex construction of masculine identity in contemporary television. This study examines the reception of specific characters among critics and audiences, as well as investigates the ways in which the setting and depiction of ethnicities influence representations of masculinity. Calling for attention to the apparent lack in masculinity studies on television, the complex male representation in Breaking Bad suggests that men are not merely experiencing a crisis of their masculinity in contemporary society, but demonstrates that there is a problem with uniform white, hetero-normative representation of masculinity on TV.

Introduction This essay should be understood as an inquiry into the very successful US TV series Breaking Bad (BB).1 I use political theory analysis and plot analysis as textual analysis of the story.2 In the first chapter, I present a summary of the story of Walter White. In the second chapter, I analyse BB according to Thomas Hobbes’ (1588– 1679) Leviathan.3 What Hobbes meant with his famous saying that man is man’s wolf (homo homini lupus),4 thus a deadly reciprocal 1 Basic information about Breaking Bad on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/; accessed 6 February 2021. The abbreviation I chose for Breaking Bad (BB) is, by my generation and in Europe, commonly understood as the initials of Brigitte Bardot (*1934), one of the great beauties of French cinema. In this paper, BB is the abbreviation for Breaking Bad. Cooking has never been a principal asset of Brigitte Bardot. 2 As I am no trained professional in psychology, Todd Grande’s YouTube channel taught me a lot.

The show is a study of law enforcement investigation in action. As a result, Breaking Bad can serve as a tool of pedagogy in criminal procedure. This Essay seeks to serve two ends. First, it provides a map for the use of the Breaking Bad series in the core constitutional criminal procedure course focusing on the limits on police investigation arising from the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Video is a powerful mechanism for presenting hypotheticals to students. Recent work on other shows such as The Wire has recognized the value of television as an alternative pedagogi- cal technique in the law school curriculum. Breaking Bad deserves to take its place as a teaching aid in a criminal procedure classroom.

  • Recovering Lost Moral Ground: Can Walt Make Amends?
    CHAPTER 10 Recovering Lost Moral Ground: Can Walt Make Amends? James Edwin Mahon and Joseph Mahon Is it possible to recover lost moral ground? In the closing episodes of Breaking Bad it becomes clear that Walter White believes that the correct answer to this question is an affi rmative one. Walt believes that he can, and that he has, recov- ered lost moral ground. Breaking Bad may be said to explore two distinct and incompatible ways of attempting to recover lost moral ground. The fi rst way is revisionist . This is to rewrite the script of what, morally speaking, has occurred, so that it appears that nothing wrong was done. Since no moral ground has been lost, there is no moral ground to recover. The second way is restorative . This is to admit to morally wrongful behavior, but to attempt to make amends for it. While we concede that it is possible to recover lost moral ground in both of these ways, we deny that Walt is able to do so in both of these ways. At best, Walt can only hope to recover lost moral ground by attempting to make amends for his past misdeeds. Before looking at these two kinds of attempts to recover lost moral ground in Walt’s case, however, two defenses against accusations of moral wrongdoing will fi rst be considered, since Walt also avails of these defenses. The fi rst is the justifi catory defense, that of seeking to justify the moral wrongdoing, so that it is no longer morally wrong. The second is the mitigatory defense, that of seek- ing to excuse the moral wrongdoing, so that the person is no longer respon- sible for the moral wrongdoing.

  • A Prophetic Look at the End Times
    A Prophetic Look At The End Times Keith Blackwell 2008-2009 A while back, I asked the students in my Sunday school class about topics they would like to study. One of the students mentioned prophecy. At first thought I thought no way, prophecy is not my thing. After a while of thinking about it, I can’t get it off my mind. This study will be a definite learning experience for me. This study will cover a broad spectrum of prophecy, focusing mainly on end times. So stay with me and this will be a journey we can take together. Keep in mind as you read this, these are my thoughts. I do not count myself qualified to speak as an expert on anything, and some may be far fetched, but this is how I understand these hard scriptures. I am including some possible scenarios concerning nuclear war in chapters ten and twelve. I have no real knowledge of these types of weapons other than the information I can find on the internet. They are but just an interpretation of the verses. I humbly request that you pray and seek God’s guidance concerning these verses and events and ask Him to reveal to you what He wants you to know about these issues. 2 Table of Contents Chapter one, Why Prophecy…………….………………..……………….…5 Chapter two, Daniel and his visions…….……………………………..10 Chapter three, Isaiah and the Seraphim, Ezekiel and the Cherubim and the wheels………………………..……………………….…..28 Chapter four, The Apostle John and the Beginning of the Revelation………………………………………………………………… ………………36 Chapter five, The Rapture……………………………………….……………46 3 Chapter six, The Throne room of God………………….…..………

Introduction Inside, the DRIVER’s knuckles cling white to the wheel. He’s got the pedal flat. Scared, breathing fast. Oh, by the way, he’s wearing a GAS MASK. That, and white jockey UNDERPANTS. Nothing else. The Winnebago comes roaring over a berm and down into a deep gully. Too deep. BAM! The front bumper bottoms out, burying itself.

  • Syllabus -- Spoiler-Free! Messiah College
    The Wages of Sin is Death: Breaking Bad as the New American Tragedy Course Syllabus -- Spoiler-Free! Messiah College. Fall 2015. Tuesdays, 6:15-9:15 p.m. Boyer 131. Instructor: James B. LaGrand Email: [email protected] Office: Boyer 264 Office hours: Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays, 11-noon; Telephone: ext. 7381 Thursdays, 3-4 p.m.; & by appointment Course description A number of serialized TV dramas over the past decade or so have led many critics to call this period “the golden age of television.” No show better epitomizes this label than Breaking Bad. Its thrilling plots and cliff-hangers have won it millions of viewers. But it’s more than a pop culture phenomenon. Creator Vince Gilligan’s show stands out for its novelistic structure and sensitive examination of characters’ inner lives. Even more remarkable for a television program, Breaking Bad provides a relentlessly honest picture of the human condition--both its vices and virtues. The show’s depictions of the seven “deadly sins” or “capital vices”-- especially pride, envy, greed, and wrath--have led many viewers to recall Greek and Shakespearean tragedies. Acclaimed not only by the public but also by television and literature critics, Breaking Bad is uniquely well-suited among television shows for study and reflection in a classroom context. In this course, you will take in course content (i.e. episodes of Breaking Bad) outside of the classroom--what’s sometimes called a “flipped classroom.” Thus, class sessions can be reserved for discussion and assimilation of this show’s many timely and important themes--including human depravity and morality, drugs, drug policy, marriage, family, friendship, masculinity, gender relations, work, vocation, money, and race.
