The documentary "Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies, and the American Dream", explains how a number of Jewish immigrants in the beginning of nineteen century built the most known six movie studios in Hollywood. Despite America 's open-door immigration policy for all immigrants, Jews, perhaps more than other minorities, encountered a new form a discrimination. The documakers say that they were viewed as outsiders and were blacklisted from working in certain fields such as finance, banking, and other higher education careers. Hence, they formed their own communities and their own version of real America, practicing their own religion, opening their own businesses in the garment industry and movie production. Because of the intense discrimination against Jews, especially those involved in the movie-theater industry in New York and Chicago, many of them moved to Hollywood, California building their own studios and working as screenwriters, directors, and producers.
The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.

Nonhumans’ needs are limited to basic needs such as safety and physiological needs. However, humans have the capacity to transcend this basic need barrier to fulfill psychological and self-fulfillment needs. This distinguish the higher level of emotional ability which humans have over nonhumans. During lecture, a video of a chimpanzee experiment where the animal had to
What does it mean to be human? A question that has plagued both scientists and philosophers for thousands of years, it has no definitive answer. While humans can be defined as members of the homosapien species, they can also be interpreted as an elite group of self-aware, rational animals. Another frame of reference can be attached to the definition of humans, such as social mammals that possess the capability to reason, use technology, and speak. The quality of a human life is established based on the way one uses their ability to make decisions and judgments as people are intended to make relationships and connections with one another.
a. Describe one example of how intersectionality, cisprivilege and cissexism, or criminal archetypes played out in the film. The biggest thing that came out of the film, was showing a lot of the criminal archetypes that were in the film, from “Attack of the Killer Lesbians”, “Attack of the Killer Dykes” (Doroshwalther) and other titles that were given to the ladies, and you see this in the news all the time, even nowadays even with different terms, and it is used to get as many views as they can, and do people deserve to get called something that they are in a harmful manner, no, they do not deserve that abuse. Another thing you do seen in the film is intersectionality, with the headlines again, and almost guaranteed in the court case, it was most likely brought up, were these ladies considered lesbians, dykes, or any other names to better assist whoever was using the term.

Over the last decade mass shootings have become more likely and a much larger issue than ever before. Mass shootings have been on the rise whether they occur in schools or out in public places like movies or malls. But why have the number of mass shootings recently increased ? President Donald Trump stated in an interview that one of the biggest reasons these massacres are happening is because of the negative influence that video games, movies, and media is leaving on young adults. Trump's idea was to incorporate a new and improved rating system for video games and movies.
In the respect of utilitarian, act utilitarianism applies in this movie. Act utilitarianism states that “everyone should perform an act which will bring about the greatest amount of good over bad for everyone affected by the act” (Thiroux and Krasemann 39). Thus, an act utilitarian would agree with the action of the main character, Nick, who purposely joins the juror team to sway the jury into delivering the verdict he wanted because he was certain that it would bring about the greatest amount of good. In this case, only gun manufacturers would benefit if the defendant side won the case and the consequence would be that firearm sale would not change or the worst case scenario, more firearms would be sold in the market, which is extremely dangerous
The Human Condition, in this case, refers to the state of human life- the average style that a person lives in today's world. More specifically in The Human Condition, the much too common struggles and everyday issues that so many people go through. Some of Bellion's tracks do peak into a "positive" mode of life, but most on The Human Condition give a perspective of things gone wrong both personally and culturally, but also the struggle to stay pure, and keep your head above water especially in the wake of money and fame. This is its ideology: finding your balance of moral aptitude within a world of fame and
Throughout history, is has often been seen that when a person or country holds power over another, the process of them dehumanizing whomever they are overpowering comes into play. When the French colonized an extremely large portion of Africa, it was of no exception to this dehumanizing process, which can be seen through many examples in both of the place’s histories. A number of these historical events are depicted in French and African films, including French-Algerian director Rachid Bouchareb’s depiction of the French Army during World War II with Days of Glory. Numerous films have also been produced to create fictional portrayals that represent the horrid acts and unjust treatments of African people, such as Ousmane Sembène’s Black Girl,
Postmodernism is a self-reflexive vehicle of modernism that explores ideologies around concepts of popular culture, high and low art, and the state of the world after the modernist movement. In this essay I will explain how postmodernism, through review and re-conceptualizing, is able to celebrate modernist ideology by using the platform modernism has set up for postmodern techniques to create meaning in narrative. I will be discussing this address through the Shane Black film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (USA, 2005). Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (USA, 2005), is a hybrid crime-comedy film that uses the film noir detective narrative style in a postmodern mode. The film reflects a number of stylistic elements portrayed in the James Bond franchise, with a fusion
During class, we viewed and discussed segments of films concerning ethical values in sport and academics during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1950s that clearly showed and proved how their formers values were really different than today’s ethical values. Throughout the films, very well known characters appeared such as Sandy Koufax, Nile Kinnick, Eric Liddell, and Tom Povich. First of all, Sandy Koufax is a former American Major League Baseball (MBL) left-handed pitcher that was most likely remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports.

Social realism seeks to identify current issues that happen to ordinary people in society.
