The documentary was really interesting because it showed multiple stories with two different outcomes.As I was watching the documentaries I had time to reflect on what I did and of how grateful I am to still be alive and well.The first outcome was that the sprayers got to the fire before it could spread to any other rooms, and the second outcome was that the fire that spread to more than two or three floors.
The story that had the most impact on me was the one that took place in this University, the University of Lacrosse, the fire that destroyed Drake hall was really devastating and it affected not only the residents living in that hall, but all the students in the University because the University of Lacrosse had 275 students without a place to live,so they had to relocate them to different halls and some students had to live in futons with their friends. I understand that taking the batteries out of the fire alarm and that having a candlelit was a really bad decision on my part because if our dorm were to caught on fire, it would've been my fault and all the students living there would've had to suffer because of me. The thing that frustrates me is the fact that the University of La Crosse doesn't have sprinklers in the dorms, the school should know that students make mistakes, so in order to prevent any fires in any building they should install the sprinklers as soon as possible.

I know I was told to write about how the documentary helped me reflect on my actions, but all they talked about was of how great the fire alarms are, and I agreed with everything they said, but i feel that this documentary had nothing to do with the fire
Bridge to Freedom provides the historical documentary behind the events that served as the narrative for Selma. Instead of a drama, the viewers receive an actual documentary that shows the confrontations between the marchers and the government. Like Selma, it highlights the violence, the deaths, and the beatings, but also goes further back in time to show society’s treatment of African Americans.
say the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire turned out to be a very helpful life changing turn around for hundreds of thousands of people, it turns out that many positives have come out of it. Its just too bad that such a tragedy had to come about to make such significant changes.
The fire is significant because it is the one that gives them the hope that they will get rescued without it everyone would have lost hope that they will get out of there. Throughout
In an interview with Sherman Alexie, Alexie states that, "The smoke that originates from the first fire in the movie is what causes these events, and the smoke from the second fire brings about the beginning of resolution." The first fire is the tragic house fire and the second fire is a fire that the healing figure of the movie starts in order to burn down the trailer Arnold Joseph lived in. The trailer's fire symbolizes letting go of all the pain Arnold Joseph caused in the world. It helps show that Victor is slowly letting go of the pain his father caused which in turn means the fire that burns within him is starting to smolder as
Wow, I never expected to sit home on a Saturday night watching a documentary about AIDS, and needing a box of tissues. The film a Closer walk was definitely an eye opener!! As mentioned in the film, “AIDS is the grandfather of all diseases”, such a true statement after watching this film and realizing how it affects so many lives in so many ways ( ). AIDS in Africa is a nightmare. As Oliva Nantango, the girl that cared for her mother at age 12, because relatives were afraid of catching AIDS, stated “How do you tell your child you are dying”? I can’t imagine the heartache the children go through seeing their parents die at such a young age and leaving them orphaned. My heart was ached for many on that film, but for some reason, Oliva’s story really got to my heart. She was a very brave, strong young woman and I was so happy she was getting treatment, but it was too late, such a upsetting situation. But, I was happy she got to tell her story at the White House, and hopefully made a difference in someone’s life.
I find this film interesting because I found a lot of information that I did not know of the cause that this young lady had in our society today. It is because of her we have two important things, first the Good Samaritan Law and secondly the 911 operating system. I am saddened by her death and the way she was murdered by her attacker. But I am glad that her death was not in vain, actions were taken after her death and for that we have to thank the Genovese family for what they have given to
The thing I liked most about this documentary was the fact that it focused on the guys at the top, the self-proclaimed "smartest men in the room", the so-called geniuses who knew the energy business so much better than the rest of the industry. And what a piece of work these men were.
In closing I would like to express how informing this video was on how children are conceived. It shows the audience what to expect and the changes that will occur and in what time frame. Children are miracles and this video proves it. There are many obstacles a woman must go thru to have a child. I think everyone should view this video as well as high school students. High school students who watch this would be more cautious about their actions and sexual behaviors, in my opinion.
Without Apology is a great documentary based on an autistic man name Alan and how his disability influences in a positive and negative way his family and community in the 1950s. In the 1950s mental institutions had little regulation and believed in fixing the person in order to get to the problem. Communities viewed people with disabilities as out caste and shameful. The film, which was done by Alan’s sister named Susan, main objective was to reveal the emotions and difficulties the family faced with Alan conditions and how changes over time impact the way disability was viewed and treated.
When I think about this disaster, I see little girls falling from the building and I hear screams and I feel really sad and depressed, because no one could save them. I would imagine they were terrified and was hoping someone could rescue them. Even though this incident was one of the worst cases in industrial history, the fire had caused better safety procedures and better environments for the workers. So I guess if the fire hadn’t killed all those lives, we would have never changed our ways for the
The most surprising factor I learned from the documentary was the community's belief that men have to own a minimum of 3 wives to go to heaven. This faith seems insane to me, and I find it more disturbing that women are forced to marry men when they are underaged. It is difficult to comprehend why these practices have not stopped because they are so blatantly illegal. Warren Jeff has gone to prison since this documentary aired, but he still
The only thing that the documentary did that was not in the original experiment is that they added another step. The added step consisted of another teacher, whom was an actor just like the learner, that at a certain point would quit and step aside and the other teacher would have to take over. This showed that people influence each others psychological aggression to other people (Roth).
Lacrosse is a sport that needs many different skills to play. It is a highly skilled game and the players that are good at it need to be rewarded. Lacrosse is a tough sport to play and it is getting more popular throughout the years, which means more people will watch it. If you add Lacrosse to the Olympic it will bring more people to the games and to watch it on TV, it will make the games more money. It also has a very good history that will honor many people.
The documentary demonstrated how the media is consolidated and how it’s a problem for society. It states that all of media is owned by a few people who run it like a corporation. The video argues its point well, having creditable sources and interviews. It had interviews with retired new anchors and currently employed news anchors and reporters. The film says that the news is more concerned about rating and making money than the type of stories it puts out. It backs it up by using MSNBC’s To Catch A Predator as an example. It talks about how they had Bill Conradt, who was an assistant District Attorney, and the producers where very pushy about getting him to the house for the story. The video stated that the producers only wanted to catch him
I enjoyed watching this documentary because it reminded me of the importance of cherishing the species
