In the video Star Size Comparison it displays the planets and stars all lined up next to each and it goes one by one from the moon to Mercury to Venus and Mars, Jupiter to Saturn etc.. I like the side to side comparison of all the planets/stars because it's a good frame of reference for how big the planets and stars are, in comparison to each other. The second video, To Scale the Solar System was a little different, in this video it primarily showcased the distance between the planets. A young man and his crew wanted to give you a sense of just how far the moon is from the earth and how far the Earth is away from Jupiter and Jupiter from Neptune and so on and so forth. I really liked that him and his friends invested so much time and effort
Rolf de Herr’s 2002 film The Tracker represented some human beings in the past who have been extremely naïve, barbarous, and bigoted when it came to dealing with Indigenous Australians. This film portrayed white racism in the characters of the Fanatic, the Veteran, and at first the Recruit until he becomes stronger and eventually changes his demeanor towards the Aboriginal people. Even though the Tracker experiences immense hardship throughout the movie he was always two steps ahead of his bosses since he was very familiar with the land and was also able to outsmart his superior officers. The Tracker is a gloomy film which presents the dark past of Australia that must never be forgotten.
In using this allusion, Frost not only continues the "poetic tradition" but adds all the depth of meaning of Keats' poem to his own. The star doesn't want much of us -- only to stay above us. He says that "when the mob is swayed" or when social, political, or moral upheaval takes place and the norm is to be radical, the star likes being above it all, condescendingly regarding the earth. When this happens, we should "choose something like a star" and concentrate on it.
Spotlight dramatizes the documentary of how a leading news source, The Boston Globe, unveiled the outrageous wrongdoing of child molestation and hidden secrets under the local Catholic Church (Spotlight). It is a movie of power that makes the viewer experience the anger and pressure the reporters are feeling while trying to investigate what really happened in the Catholic Church (Spotlight). The investigation of one of the most profound institutions causes quite an uproar in the city of Boston. Directed by Tom McCarthy the 2015 drama film, Spotlight, will make you question the Catholic Church and the top lawyers in the state of Massachusetts (Spotlight). This film captures the positive and negative power of the press, the impact of The Boston
In the Microskills video (Ivey, Ivey, & Banez, 2002), the facilitator kept bringing the members’ attention to here-and-now. It appeared that reflecting on the members’ present experiences as they talked about their past episodes was helpful. The members were able to share their experiences from their body rather than heavily intellectualizing them. According to Yalom (1995), focusing on here-and-now is one of fundamental tasks of group process. He further asserted that activation of here-and-now is not enough. The group must also be able to reflect or illuminate the process in here-and-now (Yalom, 1995). The facilitator in Ivey, et al. (2002) was able to do both in some extent.
This video was mostly an introduction into the different modalities of radiology. Each modality was explained in the video and with the new adaptions that technology has provided. I like that they explained why each modality was used and the purpose for using it.
The main way rebellion is used is for artists to protest an issue. Frequently artists protest social issues that they think are neglected in society. In Giant Galactic Space Penis [figure 1], this is evident that they are protesting political issue of corrupt regimes performed by Russian authorities and this is also seen in Study of Perspective – Tiananmen [figure 2] where Ai Weiwei is really concerned about political system and freedom of speech suppressed by Chinese government. In a defiant manner, figure 2 depicts Weiwei flipping the middle (rude) finger against the portrait of Mao Zedong in Tiananmen Square. This offensive gesture, captured using a snapshot aesthetic, confronts its view with a general and concise statement of political
One may look at the sky see the sun, stars, or even planets, but once you look through a telescope you would see more than the naked eye can uncover. For instance, Binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common bay center. The binary systems are made of two, four, or even more stars that are called the many star systems. These systems would often be independent for the eye as a single point of light, which can be revealed as a double or even more.
In today’s society violence has become something that we hear and read about on a regular daily basis. It has become such a topic of conversation, that is seems to have turned out to be a part of the modern-day society. Violence is never just in a particular region or just on the streets. It is everywhere, including the places where we live our everyday lives and go about our everyday routines. It is in the schools where we send our children, in the neighborhoods, on the television, and even in some homes. Violence is all around us, but where does this violence come from. Most people would blame it on the upbringing of the person who has committed the act of violence, and then there are those whom believe that the fictionality of video games, movies, and/or books are the source.
Since the beginning, mankind has always been fascinated with the structure of space. As time advances, we’ve found ways to see further and gain more knowledge about the space around us. We’ve advanced from the human eye, to telescopes, to even larger telescopes, to telescopes in space, which eliminates the image distortion caused by the Earth’s atmosphere.
Stars lifecycles span from millions to billions of years. Over that time many different events occur and vary from star to star. These events include exhausting their hydrogen core, expanding, and “death; which can encompass the star turning into a neutron star or a black hole. Also the lifecycle of a star directly effects earth. Our solar systems star, the sun, will eventually expend its fuel supply, die, and eventually expand until it reaches Earth.
A star begins as nothing more than a very light distribution of interstellar gases and dust particles over a distance of a few dozen lightyears. Although there is extremely low pressure existing between stars, this distribution of gas exists instead of a true vacuum. If the density of gas becomes larger than .1 particles per cubic centimeter, the interstellar gas grows unstable. Any small deviation in density, and because it is impossible to have a perfectly even distribution in these clouds this is something that will naturally occur, and the area begins to contract. This happens because between about .1 and 1 particles per cubic centimeter, pressure gains an inverse relationship with density. This causes internal pressure to decrease with increasing density, which because of the higher external pressure, causes the density to continue to increase. This causes the gas in the interstellar medium to spontaneously collect into denser clouds. The denser clouds will contain molecular hydrogen (H2) and interstellar dust particles including carbon compounds, silicates, and small impure ice crystals. Also, within these clouds, there are 2 types of zones. There are H I zones, which contain neutral hydrogen and often have a temperature around 100 Kelvin (K), and there are H II zones, which contain ionized hydrogen and have a temperature around 10,000 K. The ionized hydrogen absorbs ultraviolet light from it’s environment and retransmits it as visible and infrared light. These clouds, visible to the human eye, have been named nebulae. The density in these nebulae is usually about 10 atoms per cubic centimeter. In brighter nebulae, there exists densities of up to several thousand atoms per cubic centimete...
First shown on June 2001, ‘Shrek; has become an increasingly popular film for people of all ages, why? Because it shows that a fairytale doesn’t have to be about a damsel in distress waiting for her prince to come. Anybody and anything can be the hero. In a traditional fairytale there is usually a hero, hero's sidekick, a damsel in distress and a villain. In most fairy tales the villain is portrayed as an evil dragon or ogre and the hero is shown as a handsome prince in shining armour. In ‘Shrek’ these roles are reversed as Shrek is the reluctant hero and Lord Farquaad is the heinous villain. The film also depicts some valuable messages that relate to real-life problems in our society today, that being challenging stereotypes and the concept of beauty and ugliness. The directors of this film Andrew Anderson and Vicky Jensen used specific film techniques to enhance these ideas throughout the film. Some of these techniques include music, lighting, camera angles, special effects and scenery.
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often require systematic and intensive interventions in order to develop appropriate social and academic behaviors. One intervention that has been used with some success on improving a variety of behaviors is video modeling (Acar & Diken, 2012; Wang, Cui, & Parrila, 2011; Wilson, 2013). Video modeling involves the process of creating a video of a person or persons exhibiting a desired behavior and subsequently showing the video in a planned, systematic manner to the individual in need of intervention with the intent to measure imitation of the desired behavior by the viewer (McCoy & Hermansen, 2007). This intervention has
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a Steven Spielberg science fiction drama film, which conveys the story of a younger generation robot, David, who yearns for his human mother’s love. David’s character stimulates the mind-body question. What is the connection between our “minds” and our bodies?
From the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians, to the Three Wise Men and modern day Muslims, the stars have always been of great cultural and spiritual importance for people all across the globe. The constellations have meanings that exemplify different types of people and things in the natural world. These stars are the “blueprint” of humanity, giving mankind a better understanding of the world and themselves through the astrological birth chart. There are three vital references of the astrological chart that are necessary to understanding the signs of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant. These sources of insight are found in an array of literature such as Psalm Eight, the legend of the constellation Perseus and A Child 's Dream of a Story written by
