Blood In The Mobile Film Analysis

1601 Words7 Pages

‘Blood In The Mobile’ is a documentary filmed my Danish journalist Frank Poulsen regarding the use of conflict minerals in our mobiles by major phone manufacturing companies. Even though he focuses on Nokia in the movie it is an insight into the use of blood minerals from Congo in all phones of other manufacturing companies as well. The film focuses on whether Nokia has known about this use and still continues to do it and to find a solution to this problem in order to end modern day slavery just so that we can stare at a screen throughout the day. In the documentary Poulsen travels to various destinations including one of the mines in Congo to uncover the harsh truth behind one the most revolutionary modern day inventions and whether its consumption is being used to finance a war... …show more content…

Many of the employees keep beating around the bush with respect to their answers and defend their company, stating that all its practices are ethical and legal. He even interviews the head of Corporate Social Responsibility who acknowledges the problem and says that there is ‘no way to trace the minerals back to the mines that they come from.’ Nokia in its annual reports and on its website claims to be a market leader in Corporate Social Responsibility and Conscious Capitalism but these claims are mostly fabricated. These are simply words on a piece of paper to convince consumers that the product they’re buying is blood free and ethical when in reality this couldn’t be further from the truth. Several NGOs that were also interviewed by Poulsen confirm this fact and state that even though they’ve had the knowledge of the existence of this problem for ten years they have done more or less nothing to even take steps toward solving this problem simply because it will cost them money and diminish their

Wise Blood Analysis

1740 Words | 7 Pages

Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood contains several characters who reject Jesus and the idea of original sin and God’s redemption. Wise Blood shows that without God people either become shrunken humans or animals. Enoch Emery becomes an animal figure by the end of the novel. While O’Connor connects Enoch’s lack of faith to his animalistic tendencies, one can also ascertain that Enoch completely immerses himself in his wise blood because his life lacks a love for God and other people, promoting the theme that without divine or human love one can only act like an animal. O’Connor’s introduction to Enoch establishes his lonely, unloved existence.

Comparison Of On Sight And Blood On The Leaves

1199 Words | 5 Pages

Before the release of his latest album, Yeezus, Kanye West switched the first track from “Blood on the Leaves” to “On Sight”. West admitted this decision made his album less popular, but felt that it was necessary to properly convey the themes of frustration he hoped to represent in his album. After listening to these two pieces, I agreed with his assessment. While I enjoyed “Blood on the Leaves” more, “On Sight” was better at inciting emotions of frustration within the listener. I found “Blood on the Leaves” to be more aurally pleasing, but “On Sight” to possess the greater emotional impact. The two pieces are distinguished by elements of melody and texture that made “Blood on the Leaves” a more enjoyable piece than “On Sight”.

In coal mining, migrant workers face the possibility of death everyday. For example, Chinese coal mines are responsible for 80% of all coal mining fatalities in the world; the rate is 50 times higher than the USA (Pai 76). Since 2000, the most conservative official statistics estimate about 45,000 miners have died and 600,000 miners suffer from pneumoconiosis (Pai 77, 86). Most of these deaths are due the lack of safety regulations and equipment and poor management of the owners. The rest are due to black mines where private coal mines, under no government supervision, blatantly disregard safety regulations and equipment speed up production of coal to maximize profits (Pai 77).

The Tribute Of Blood Analysis

657 Words | 3 Pages

Beattie, Peter M. The Tribute of Blood: Army, Honor, Race, and Nation in Brazil, 1864-1945. Durham: Duke University Press, 2001. Peter Beattie examined the transition from an impressment based military to a conscription based military in Brazilian history. Beattie eloquently argued that the transition was vital to the development of Brazilian nationalism in The Tribute of Blood: Army, Honor, Race, and Nation in Brazil, 1864-1945. Beattie artfully showed how the change from impressment to conscription, as a method of maintaining a military, required both a change in the public perception of the military men’s honor and the removal of the military from their historic policing and penal roles.
