The documentary “Secrets of the Koran” depicts how powerful the Koran is and how dense the Islamic Law and religion is. The meaning of the Koran is simply the recitation. The Koran the Islamic sacred book that consists of 114 units called suras are meant to be spoken out loud. The I thought that it was compelling because the Muslims believed that speaking out loud would grant the feeling as if they were speaking directly to God. I believe the religion is immensely solid because each believer was able to poses their own perception of the Koran and they were not forced to interpret and or understand the Koran in the same form they were able to form their own message and opinion about the
Movie Analysis: The Disney original classic, “Tower of Terror” inspired by the iconic Disneyland and Disney World attraction, Tower of Terror/Twilight Zone. This Disney original movie, being described as a made-for-TV movie from many critic websites, is mild spooky film that targets the younger audience of eight year olds and older. At Halloween of 1939, lightning strikes at five people, which included the famous child actor in the movie, Sally Shine, at an elevator at the Hollywood Tower Hotel.
I will cite examples of how intercultural imperatives relate to the 1995 American short documentary film, “The Shadow of Hate”, directed by Charles Guggenheim. I will define and describe two imperatives demographic and ethical imperatives.
This documentary, “The Freedom Riders” shows the story of courageous civil rights activists called ‘Freedom Riders’ in 1961 who confronted institutionalized and culturally-accepted segregation in the American South by travelling around the Deep South on buses and trains.
Many women in these countries are raped and held to produce. I do feel that some people take the words literally, and some do not. They would go on to create madness in their society. The Koran is a document about the Islamic society.
In the documentary Bowling for Columbine by Michael Moore, it asks important questions and provokes thoughts. The United States is known to have the highest gun-murder rate in the world. Not that shocking if you watch the news. The media influences fear in the heart of Americans and creates hysteria all over the globe. The documentary had me thinking why are we in fear well for example every day there is always something violent going on in the news a shooting, someone getting stabbed, a woman’s purse get lifted. The media is inflicting fear in our hearts and we really just let it happen without saying a word. In my opinion I think it’s a disguise from the big picture. What is the United States hiding from the American people? The documentary started off with Michael going into a Bank and from my understanding if you open up an account with the bank you can take advantage of their special offer of being able to pick any type of gun that is advertised which I thought was completely crazy especially when the guns are stored in the bank.
Presidents and other people of high power have the ability to do many things that some may disagree with and walk away with very minimal consequences. In the movie Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore, shows how George W. Bush manipulates his power to fool the American people and enter into an unnecessary war. “There are some who feel like that if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don 't understand what they are talking about if that 's the case... There are some who feel… that they can attack us there. My answer is bring 'em on.” Bush creates a sense of fear among the American people that the nation is under attack, but is very patriotic and confident to the point that Americans will trust him. Moore shows that the war is pointless and invading Iraq does not make sense. In the film, Moore goes around D.C. and asks senators and other officials of congress to sign their child up for the war and none of them signed the forms. That clearly shows that members of the government do not support and want their children in a
Throughout the US, millions of POC students exposed to the traditional, rather outdated version of US History. Never do the textbooks explicitly mention and/ or explain the terrorizing, constant stripping down of others’ cultures and appropriating it into the dominant group of predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon and protestant. For many Mexican American students, they can’t relate to anything in the text, nor do they share an interest in the coursework provided. The way US history sets up doesn't teach and somehow excludes Indigenous backgrounds or for the most part was never taught in the classroom but, rather briefly mentioned in one or two paragraphs. Immigrants from diverse groups built this country yet their culture is consistently shown
It is 1957 and the Algerian war is at its prime as the FLN fight against an elite troop of ruthless French paratroopers. The Battle of Algiers is a portion of the Algerian war which was fought in order for Algeria to gain independence from France. The film starts off with the torturing of an old man to gain information on where the last of the freedom fighters, Ali Pointe is hiding. A large segment of the film is shot in flashbacks focusing on the past of Ali Pointe. Pointe was a ruffian with theft and drugs on his record; he joined the militants to assist in getting rid of the problems in Algeria associated with the French. With the flashbacks the film tells the struggles of the insurgents and the persistence of the French to end the war. It shows the transformation of the insurgency into a full out revolution. When the flashbacks ends and it is now present time Ali Pointe, along with the rest of the FLN leaders captured are beheaded. Through this, the FLN reciprocate and the insurgency becomes a full on national revolution with growth in numbers and support. The film ends with Algeria gaining the independence it strived for in 1962. The film is important in understanding asymmetric conflicts because despite being the weaker side, Algeria had proved itself to be much stronger than the French and had its newfound independence to show for it.
The documentary Freedom Summer was released on January 17, 2014 by veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson. The documentary was made to serve as a reminder of the summer activists spent in 1964 in order to register African-American voters. The film showed the state of Mississippi during that time as being filled with hatred and segregation toward African Americans. The film is trying to show us the people who united together to bring freedom to African Americans. Even white people rebelled with African Americans to show that they did not support racism and that African Americans should have the right to vote just like any citizen.
The Killing Cousins consisted of David Alan Gore and Fred Waterfield. Gore, was born in 1953, in Indian River County Florida. Gore resembled the stereotypical Southern “redneck,” tipping the scales at 275 pounds, so enamored of firearms that he studied gunsmithing in his free time. He also studied women but in a different way having been fired from a job as a gas station attendant after the owner found a peephole Gore had drilled between the men’s and women’s restrooms (Wetsch). Fred Waterfield also grew up in Indian River County and was a star football player and also a ladies man. He was always looking and talking about ways to get with other girls during high school (The Killing Cousins Serial Killer Documentary, 2014). As they grow older they realized they both shared a similar passion for sex and began shifting their focus to hunting women.
In Zainab Ali's book, "Unveiling Islam: What Muslims Believe," she explains the basic beliefs of a Muslim. She also elaborates on the images of Muslims in the media created by important leaders such as Saddam Hussein and Louis Farrakhan and how they contradict the Islamic belief. The writer then gives her explaination of these contradictions with respect to Islamic rules. She focuses on the rules of the faith - the five pillars of Islam - by provinding explanations, definitions, and examples. After an elaboration of each pillar, the writer explains the relevance of the pillars in life and the affects that the pillars have on the character of a true Muslim. She then compares this character to the characters of the Islamic leaders in the media to support her claim that people of the Islamic faith are not compatible with the images portrayed through the media. By making this claim, the author is trying to correct the misunderstandings of the Islamic faith and of the Muslim image by providing examples, explanations, and comparisons to define a "true" Muslim.
The book Muhammad, by Michael Cook, describes the impact Muhammad has had on the world as we know it. It explains why Muhammad chose the paths he did, and how certain laws came about. Cook offers a very objective view of the laws and policies Muhammad outlined in the Koran, and the traditions that are carried on that supplement his written law.
1. What is the difference between a. and a. Write a summary of “Baghdad Express” in 150 words. The short film "Baghdad Express" presents us to Maya, a young girl who works in her father’s restaurant. We meet her walking towards an interview that possibly could result in her being accepted to a fashion school by getting a scholarship. To get in would fulfill Maya’s greatest desire of working in the fashion industry, and her friends Talal and Louise are both encouraging her to achieve her dream.
Mulan seems to be a feminist film which encourages individual women to take care of themselves. However, the film is not free from traditional gender roles. While the film may be progressive by removing the "damsel in distress" plot, further analysis shows it isn’t a feminist film at all. Disney’s Mulan reinforces a black and white societal role of gender that privilege men over women. In contrast the poem is incredibly progressive, it shows a woman fighting just as well as men and men accepting her as a powerful warrior not being jealous of her power. The poem removes gender roles whereas the Disney movie reinforces them.
I think form many this religion is difficult to grasp because of the events done by some people who are/claim to be a part of this religion. Similar to Judaism and Christianity, Islam believes it is the one true religion of god. However, the prophet for this religion is not Jesus, similar to Judaism. The prophet is instead Muhammad who taught from the revelations given to him by Archangel Gabriel. Muhammad even had his own book called the Hadith that explained his life and his choices. This book is not a divine scripture but it looked at for answers if the Qur’an does not provide what a person seeks. Once Muhammad’s new successor came about the people of Islam split into two groups Sunni and Shi’a. Today, this religion is seen as a very violent religion because of terrorist attacks around the world but there are followers out there that live their lives without a single drop of blood on their hands. I think people forget that we should not judge an entire religion based on who claims to be a part of that religion. Even in Christianity people fought and they killed over land for their God. It is not fair to the sincere followers of this religion to be judged. It is unacceptable when a person of this religion comes to the United States, and is treated less than dirt. I myself am not a very religious person but even I have proper moral to respect another person’s
