During the 36 hours in the cross-lives of a black police lieutenant, a Mexican locksmith, an Iranian family, a Métis television producer, a Korean smuggler, a young police recruit and two pickpockets, Crash tells the interlinked stories of United States citizens of different origins and social statuses that are both victims and guilty of racism. Their impulses are instinctive, sometimes dangerous and no one can guess their thoughts. Characters’ lives and backgrounds can be easily understood, but it is difficult to predict their behavior, for the reason that most of their decisions depend on accident. This movie is unpredictable since the stories are connected based on luck, serendipity, and coincidence, as the lives of the characters intersect.

Throughout The Secret Life of Bees bees play a recurring role in the novel, repeatably being mentioned during the novel in epigrams before the start of each chapter and within the story itself. Unfortunately, on certain occasions the reason why bees are included in a certain part of the story can be unclear and confusing to readers, causing them to occasionally misinterpret the importance of bees throughout the novel. Regardless, the bees throughout play a very important role in understanding many of the themes and symbolism that Kidd included within the novel. In The Secret Life of Bees Kidd symbolizes Lily’s experiences and situations through the bees frequently present in the novel to show that seemingly different things can function in the same way.
His son marries, and the narrator and his wife age further, and the transition into old age is complete with the death of the narrator’s father-in-law.

The Sixth Sense is a film that tells the story of Cole Sear, a troubled and isolated boy who has the ability to see and talk to the dead, and an equally troubled child psychologist called Dr. Malcolm Crowe, who tries to help Cole overcome his “mental condition”. The film has a critical switch-ending scene, which turns the film upside down, making it very unique. The switch-ending scene works in the Sixth Sense to provide the missing piece of evidence that helps the audience understand the correct message which the movie attempts to communicate. The message is about perception and how the character of Malcolm and the audience is deceived by what appears to be and what is real. This is provided by reinforcing the previous foreshadow scenes seen throughout the film suggesting that Dr. Malcolm was dead

Firstly, the author drops many subtle hints on different parts of the characters lives, but never openly says what that part is.

Discussion In this study, we have argued that a detailed focus on three ways of sensemaking interaction unravels how change agents intervene in actual practice. We have further argued that these sensemaking efforts are the microfoundations of sustainability embedding. Guided by the conceptual framework, we have unraveled the many types of sensemaking efforts that the change agents deployed in an ongoing and emergent process. Especially The longitudinal setting provides unique insights in the ways that the change agents try to push forward and keep the process going, also across organizational boundaries.
This essay will discuss the statement by William James, “-whilst part of what we perceive comes through our senses but another part (and it may be the larger part) always comes out of our head.” (James, 1890). This excerpt relates to the topic of perception, which can be defined as the acquisition and processing of sensory information to see, hear, taste, or feel objects, whilst guiding an organism’s actions with respect to those objects (Sekuler & Blake, 2002). Every theory of perception begins with the question of what features of the surrounding environment can be apprehended through direct pickup (Runeson et al. 2000). Is it only vague elemental cues that are available, and development and expansion through cognitive processes is required
In this essay I will write about the strengths and weaknesses of perception as a way of knowing. Perception is the way we perceive the world through our senses. We use all five of our senses, which are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch to understand the world and interpret it. We can then say it’s a Primary way of knowledge. We can also say that, because the senses is the way our body communicates, we have at least three more senses: kinesthetic sense, which is our awareness of our body’s dimensions and movement; vestibular sense, which is the awareness of the human’s balance and spacial orientation; and organic sense, which is the manifest of the internal organs (for example, hunger or thirst).
