INTRODUCTION

Many countries are faced with unemployment and its subsequent effects on its economy. When the rates of unemployment become high, the governments are pushed to shoulder the cost of many social services since their citizens are incapable of paying for them. More importantly, a high unemployment rate due the lowered demands and high interest can influence the exchange rate. The exchange rate is among the determinants of a country’s economic stability and influences the country’s trade with the global market. As such, unemployment should be lowered through fiscal and monetary policies that can stabilize a lower exchange ...

One of the most widely-appreciated and distinct films of last year, 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, demonstrates many attributes of genderlect theory and its principles in its communication between its male and female characters. Taking an explicitly feminist subtext in its exploration of a group of women (Imperator Furiosa and the Five Wives) overthrowing their masculine oppressors with the help of a pair of supportive male allies (“Mad” Max Rockatansky and the War Boy Nux), the film and its character interactions are explicitly about the need for men and women to communicate more effectively, and the clear benefits ...

Final Essay: Robert Bresson’s Dictum & Film Analysis of “A Man Escaped”

Introduction
The modern film-viewer may anticipate feeling abashed, or risk feeling bored when scrutinizing an old, black-and-white movie that lacks an action package. However, Robert Bresson’s film made in 1956, A Man Escaped, offers a compelling example of filmmaking skills which captivate the attention of its audience. One of Director Robert Bresson’s favorite dictums asserts that “What is for the eye must not duplicate what is for the ear” (“Notes on Sound”). Control of narrative space, and command of sound perspective strategies in the film demonstrate an exercise of the filmmaker’s philosophy. The film analysis herein, ...

Times Square is renowned for being one of the busiest places in the world.

But then it's the diversity of New York that makes this city so special and run the way it does. The people of New York City can be divided into three main groups: business employees, laborers and tourists. These three groups are all rather easy to identify, especially when one makes the effort to take a step back and ...

My First Kiss

Everyone dreams of their first kiss and what it would be like, often practicing in the mirror or on our hand, longing for someone else’s sweet lips to touch our own and wonder what it would feel like when it happened.

In Michael Mann’s 2006 crime drama Miami Vice, Jamie Foxx’s Detective Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs acts as the more even-tempered, laconic and understated of the two lead detectives (including Colin Farrell’s more aggressive, unhinged Det. Crockett). In one scene near the end of the film’s first act, Crockett and Tubbs confront their informant, Alonzo Stevens (John Hawkes) on the side of an overpass, where he reveals that he had to sell out FBI undercover agents to the Colombian cartel to save the life of his kidnapped wife Leonetta. While Hawkes’ jittery, nervous, despairing performance is the ...

Part One

When I play tennis, my body moves with agility and balance on the court. It is worth noting that tennis is not merely an upper-body sport aimed at hitting the ball back over the net. Since a sharp reaction to a ball is required, my feet never stop moving. In tennis, the majority of movements are side to side, and apparently, motor skills are vital. By the way, shoulders do not tilt on volleys and groundstrokes, as the racquet arm maintains balance. A combination of horizontal and vertical movements takes place during the tennis serve, whereas rather smaller joint ...

All the houses on Maple Street were lulled into the night’s repose, amalgamating with darkness, which was interrupted only by a small string of lights leading to the very end of the street. It was a small house which inhabited Maple Street number 73, with an equally petite garden of white and dark pink primroses, adorning the entrance to the porch, right after the small pebble covered, granular pavement leading towards the house. Of all the seven windows, only the small one on the right was illuminated, but the thick, heavy curtains of a marine shade refused to reveal its interior ...

Early cinema was interestingly preoccupied with race; many of the great early films, for better or worse, addressed the conflict that occurred between people of different ethnicities, and their relationship to the greater whole of society. D.W. Griffith’s controversial The Birth of a Nation and Alan Crosland’s The Jazz Singer were no exceptions; both have problematic depictions of African-Americans, but while The Birth of a Nation provides no subversion to its unironic endorsement of the KKK, The Jazz Singer manages to use its depiction of blackface as a greater metaphor for the shirking of one’s cultural heritage for the ...

I have never shared a glass of beer with my father before, and I never had a major conflict with him, but this poem brings back those childhood memories.

Throughout Bernini’s life he accomplished great works of art, including paintings, sculptures and the creation of great fountains throughout Rome. Bernini was always involved with making art from an early age until he died at the age of 82. One of his great sculptures ...

The existence of God is a question which has caused much debate for many years. A vast number of philosophers, such as Pascal, have attempted to resolve the issue but, so far, none has managed to convince enough people either way.

Pre-Darwin, the Design theorists claimed that evidence for this was in the apparent design of nature. Following Darwin’s theory, the Design Argument was revised to agree that the process of Evolution took place, but that an Higher Being set it ...

Alfred Edward Houseman’s elegy resembling poem “To An Athlete Dying Young” possesses an almost cynical perspective of disenchantment with life, where the only true way of capturing glory is to die immediately after one achieves his highest accomplishment and reaches greatness. This way, he will forever remain in the minds of those who will carry them to eternity “shoulder-high” (Houseman 278). This is a highly thought provoking poem, forcing its readers to rethink and reevaluate life and its true meaning, its inner essence. It is a view of death not as a melancholy and cumbersome occasion, but one of happiness and ...

Abstract:

Warfare has for centuries been the sole province of men, providing a rite of passage for male-dominated societies the world over. The notion that women can function as soldiers – and that fighting units can function with women – is a new one, but there is ample evidence to show that women belong in combat and that the team concept that is so important to a fighting unit is not threatened by gender integration.

The Right to Fight: Achieving Gender Equality on the Battlefield

Warfare has always been, with only very limited exceptions, the work of men. No modern society relies, and virtually no premodern society relied, on women as combat soldiers. – Kingsley Browne.
