An Ejimication in Film
A list in compelling political films
The Corporation
The "Yes" men
Wag the Dog
Bowling for Columbine
The Insider
Farenheit 9/11
Roger & Me
Traffic
City of God
A Civil Action
Hotel Ruwanda
Wall Street
Boiler Room
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Citizen Cain
Outfoxed
Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices
The Future of Food
Thank You For Smoking
An Inconvenient Truth
These are the films which I believe are the best films to clue you in to what's going on in the world. These films depict how corruption is ruining things in the world.
Also, these are not necessarily my favorite films. I just think they should be viewed.

Buddhism Basics
In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths:
(1) Life is suffering.
(2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance.
(3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment.
(4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path
Noble Eightfold Path consists of:
1. right views
2. right intention
3. right speech
4. right action
5. right livelihood
6. right effort
7. right-mindedness
8. right contemplation
These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
