Trust is built by both ways between people and people. “Shattered glass” movie is about journalist wrote the articles but without reliability. Stephen Glass is popular guys in his “New Republic” company and his editor trusted he wrote. But Michael was the editor then was been fired and replaced by Chuck who is younger than Michael. Moreover, Michael is really kind for his subordinates and defended for them too. However, another online journalist company editor blamed about one of journalists why not know about “ Heaven hacker” material, then the journalist found out that none of information is true or cannot be found in any sources. Then, the other company called to “New republic” declare that there were some false facts from Heaven hacker …show more content…
The main issue in the relationship between his editor and colleagues and Stephen are they trust him as the reliable person and also believed his professional area can be counted on. However, even in the professional area, people have the trust for people but still being journalist did not mean that lose the professional attitude or mortality. However, on the surface, Stephen is good at social and also lots of people thought he was a talent and entertained journalist. But under that mask, he just wanted to be successful and proved to his parents that he had the passion and good at to be a journalist. In the fact, I did not think that he did not have any professional mortality, he knew which right or wrong is. But he tried to prove himself to people and his parents or just too lazy to actually found the sources because the facts maybe be boring. The success maybe the main reason that Stephen wanted to write the all these frictional articles because they were created by the imagination than actually facts, it is more interesting than actually news fact. Which will be more interesting? The human imagination stories or the trivia in our detail lives. However, in the movie, Stephen mentioned that the biggest loop for the sources are no one knew the actually stuff expect the journalist only. The self-centered thought is in his mind that actually reflect his act. In his world, he convinced himself that all his done is right and thought that everything can be cover by his hands. As my percept, Stephen can totally fend off all these situation by telling the truth to the editor without being fire. But he still declared that he was right about the fact he wrote even the truth showed in front of him. If he actually told the truth, he maybe still in the “New republic” even just suspend, it would not ruin his whole career in
Despite his situation, Stephen is able to separate the good from the bad and his experiences benefit him greatly. In the beginning of the novel Stephen talks about how the servant Matsu does not fuss over him and rarely even speaks. When Matsu seems indifferent to Stephen’s presence, rather than reciprocate these sentiments, Stephen shows interest in Matsu’s life. Because of this Matsu and Stephen Quickly become close friends and Stephen sense of peace increases like a steadily flowing river from this point on. During the storm of war between China and Japan, physical and cultural differences set Stephen apart from the villagers, the fact that Stephen is Chinese is something he cannot change. Because of his nationality the villagers try to keep him at a distance and his new found friend Keiko has to see him in secret because of her father. The more Stephen and Keik...

“Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.” This quote from Johnny Depp is his most famous quote. Johnny is a very well respected Hollywood actor and has become wise over his years. This quote is full of truth and is really thought provoking. People that you know are dishonest are hard to trust to do something, but at least you know that they are not trustworthy. Someone that you believe is trustworthy may be a dishonest person and you do not know it. So you put your trust in them and they take advantage of your trust and betray you. That is not always the case, but sadly it does happen more than you would know.
Self-motivation and determination are two of the main ideals of being journalist. If a journalist does not have the desire to find and report a story, he has no career. A journalist depends on finding the facts, getting to the bottom of the story and reporting to the public, whether it’s positive or negative. Janet Malcom states in the book The Journalist and the Murderer, “Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.” (Malcolm, 3) Her starting words speak volumes about “the Journalist and the Murderer” and the lessons that can be learned.
The movie Finding Forrester teaches many lessons about courage, dreams, and transformation, many of which can be relatable to people of all ages. The most iconic, however, are the lessons about trust. Finding Forrester is the story of leery old hermit, William Forrester, who hasn’t stepped foot outside his apartment in several decades, and his unlikely friendship with Jamal, an aspiring writer attending a public high school. After his brother’s death, Forrester secludes himself and decides not to trust anyone, that is, until Jamal comes along. After numerous conflicts and skirmishes, the two finally began to trust each other, eventually leading to Forrester opening up about his guilt over his brother’s death. Finding Forrester shows that,
The Bias Stephen Endured was enough to make him hate himself and his own culture. In Stephens's life the extreme bias towards him caused him to hate himself. He creates games in which the Japanese are weak even if they outnumber their attacker. "There are fifty small yellow pawns inside and three big blue checker kings. To be yellow in the Yellow Peril game is to be weak and small. Yellow is to be chicken."(152) This shows the fact that Stephen truly believes that he is forever weaker than the "blue checkers" he will never be strong and no matter what he does he can not win. Stephen is picked on during the book and as a result he becomes very cold. He starts to not care about anything and to separate himself from his family and everything he knows.
Trust is a trait one should obtain for the people they know are the most honest. To trust someone means to put ones full confidence and reliability on an acquaintance such as someone one is close with. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus, one of the leading characters put his complete trust in the people trying to tell him what he should believe. Brutus joined the conspirators to help take down Julius Caesar because he believed it was what was good for Rome based on what he was deceived. This resulted in the killing of Caesar and the death of himself and others. Not considering the right kind of trust in someone can lead to very troubling things. Cassius told a lie as if it was a truth so Brutus
First of all, every human being needs to trust. Trust takes a lot to build, but at the same time it does take seconds to break. When being betrayed by someone they build trust with causes distrusts. “The Compass of Friendshp” is a book by William K. Rawlins, who discusses how a person betrays his friends friendship. “Most of us would agree that the loyalty and confidence of friendship is a scared of trust. Close friendship
In The Glass Castle you can see that there are families who don't have it all as you can see with the Walls family in this memoir. There are multiple themes you see throughout the memoir such as: family, creativity, and struggle, etc. But in this essay I will be talking about the differences and similarities of these themes from the memoir and movie. I will be focusing more on Jeanette Walls, and her father, Rex Walls. The first theme I will cover is “Creativity”.
Stephen believed that the people around him would only give him kindness if he matured and fit in with the rest of them. This resulted in him giving up his child innocence and in return would get the respect from the people around him as that is what he has always been told he should want. Stephen has spent his whole life wanting to fit in with those around him and in order to do so he wants to prove how tough and mature he has become to survive. He wants to fit in because he has been led to believe that the only way he can receive his father’s kindness is in which he has craved his entire life. This is a common theme in the story where Stephan admires the physiques of those around him while simultaneously ashamed of his own 15 year old body.
Trust is defined as the reliance on the integrity, strength, ability or surety of a person or thing. To break ones trust is to lose their confidence in the person or thing. Trust can be broken with a single, unreliable action and is often challenging and difficult to win back. In the case of the one whose trust was broken, it is a difficult, jarring and abrupt change of reality to discover the betrayal and loss of trust in someone who they once relied upon . In William Shakespeare 's play entitled Hamlet, the protagonist Hamlet is unable to take swift revenge on his father 's murderer. This is due to the fact that Hamlet has become distrustful of the most important people in his life and so this sparks a question in those around him but also
The movie Shattered Glass is a 2003 American Drama film written and directed by Billy Ray. The screen play is based on the 1998 Vanity Fair article by H.G Bissinger. It is a true life drama centered on Steven Glass, who was a journalist at The New Republic and his steep fall when his 27 out of 41 of his articles were proven to be false. The movie highlights the political aspects of journalism and encompasses the processes that lead to the publishing of articles in magazines. At the end of the movie I must say I was taken aback on how the events revolved and took a whole different twist; I certainly didn’t see that coming. I had two major opinions when I was through with the movie and they would be discussed in detail below.
Stephen is the brother of the narrator, he is described as a typical addict: cries for help, play the people who is helping them and return to their lifestyle. “.. The
Even as a young boy, Stephen experienced rejection and isolation at school. On the playground Stephen "felt his body [too] small and weak amid the [other] players" (Joyce 8). His schoolmates even poked fun at his name. In response to his rejection by the other boys Stephen makes a conscious decision to "[keep] on the fringe of his line, out of sight of his prefect" and the other boys. Stephen is later depicted as choosing the "warm study hall" rather than the playground with his friends outside (Joyce 10). His rejection at school leads him to isolate himself in his schoolwork, thus putting himself on a scholarly path that will give him the intellectual skills necessary for the artist within him to achieve adulthood.
However, with journalism, it is up to the public to evaluate a journalist, and it is usually another journalist who uncovers the truth, such as in Stephen Glass’s case.
