    Many civilians are ignorant to the dangers Police Officers face when they put on that badge and uniform; ambushes, high risked calls, and moral dilemmas. Law Enforcement goes beyong issuing citations and making arrests. That is why "End of Watch", a crime drama, is such and outstanding film - it portrayed the reality of Police work so greatly. It showed the brotherhood, or "human" side of Police Officers, and that they endure hardships just as much as the next person, if not more.

  • Film Analysis: A League of Their Own

    1311 Words  | 3 Pages

    A League of Their Own (Marshall, 1992) explicitly characterizes an American era when a woman’s place was in the home. Even our modern perspective implicitly follows suit. Although women have gained rights and freedoms since the 1930’s, sexism remains prevalent in America. This film offers an illustration when men went to war and big business men utilized women as temporary replacements in factories, sports, and so on. Here, course concepts, such as gender socialization, gender expressions, role stereotypes, emotion expressions, and language, correspond to the film’s characters and themes.

    Naomi Klein’s No Logo states that corporations have been championing globalization using the reasons that globalization allows U.S. consumers to benefit from cheaper products produced abroad, while developing nations benefit from the economic growth stimulated by foreign investments. The generally accepted belief is that governmental policies should be established in favor of the corporations to facilitate the trickling down of corporate profits to the end consumers and workers abroad. Klein, however, contends that globalization rarely benefit the workers in the developing countries.

    Foreign films are special in their own way. They show a viewer different cultural values and views of the world. They also awaken your imagination. While American films seem to focus more on the award-winning aspects of a film, foreign films focus more on human aspects. These films reveal different aspects of nations. They portray how people within that nation may feel at a certain time. In both American and foreign films, they reveal what the filmmaker feels; so many times the truth revealed is not reality, but what the filmmaker wants the audience to feel.

  • Critical Review of Peter Dickens' Global Shift: Mapping The Changing Contours of the World Economy

    1167 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the term “Globalization” is discussed, most academics, scholars, professionals and intellectuals attempt to define and interpret it in a summarized fashion. My main concern with this approach is that one cannot and should not define a process that altered decades of history and continues to, in less than 30 words. Global Shift is a book with remarkable insight. Peter Dicken rather than attempting to define the commonly misused word, explains Globalization in a clear and logical fashion, which interconnects numerous views. Dicken takes full advantage of his position to write and identify the imperative changes of political, economic, social, and technological dimensions of globalization.

  • Documentary Film Analysis

    The label of ‘documentary’ can be applied to a heterogeneous mix of ideas and expressions with often-contradictory modes of address, tone and subject matter. It is for this reason that documentary is a film practice that is difficult to define; there is no limit to the range of styles, techniques and forms that documentary film can encompass. John Grierson, the man who coined the term ‘documentary’, has offered a definition that, while at parts is insufficient, critics consider to be the “starting-point” for defining this flexible type of film (Izod and Kilborn, 1998 p. 427). He purports that documentaries are a product that presents reality in an aesthetically pleasing way in an effort to have a specific impact on the consumer, whether that is to persuade, to be informative, or enlightening (Hardy 1979 p.35-46; Izod and Kilborn, 1998 p. 426-427). Discussion of different modes and features of documentary has shed some light on the genre, however most of the distinctions that have been made are not fixed, and can be manipulated and molded to present a truly unique product. Jonathan Caouette’s Tarnation is one such film as it uses and subverts the fundamental documentary modes to produce a subculture of documentary, the autoethnographical documentary.

    ...ies. As discussed in our in class debate, globalization has promoted Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) to respond to people in need of aid and even disband violent conflict, thus saving lives and promoting a newly found level of global peace. A great example of a commodity that is manipulated by globalization is the products that McDonald’s produces from the article McDonald’s in Hong Kong by James L. Watson. To make a simple hamburger, sold at an affordable price, the contents come from all across our world. The beef is imported from Argentina, allowing cattle herders to improve their private economic standings, while the wheat to produce the buns may come from the growing plains of Ukraine or even Washington State. A simple hamburger can unite and mold new international relationships all because of the incredible creation and implementation of globalization.
