- DEFINE THE GROUP.

- Who are the members of the group? The group in the movie, Mean Girls, is called the "Plastics". They are composed of the "queen bee" Regina George, the rich, but insecure Gretchen Wieners, and sweet, but ditzy Karen Smith. Later on, they invite the new kid in school, Cady Heron, to be part of their clique.

- What are the goals of the group? Being the popular clique at school, the Plastics were considered as the "teen royalty" as Damien (Cady's new friend) described them. The goal of the Plastics is to set the ...

The video on HIPAA Regulations discusses some general instructions on how patients’ private information should be treated. I totally agree that the duties of any health care facility worker go far beyond the time spent with the patient, and keeping their private information safe and confidential is not less important than providing medical care itself. That is why to my mind enforcing the HIPAA Rules was very reasonable and necessary move. In short, HIPAA Law protects any health information of people using medical services and allows patients themselves to access this information and use it in a way they want. ...

Like Captain America, The Flash epitomizes heroic qualities that go beyond American values in his ability to unite divided peoples under a common cause. Captain America, while literally representing fundamental American values, can also be said to represent global values. These are values that most superheroes possess as a way to inspire and encourage, not only the American youth, but global youths. In the movie, Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox, it shows a hypothetical world that needs uniting, more extreme than what the United States needs, but it does not make the concept less real. Heroes in the era are divided, much like ...

The Social Network is the film that tells us the story of real business. From the very beginning it warns us that you don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.

Fixing the Law System In the U.S. Activists can do
Fixing the Law System In the U.S. Activists can do
There are three videos concerning fixing and reforming the legal system in the United States that I want to discuss and analyze in this paper. They all depict people who care a lot about what is happening and who have a lot of ideas and proposals of solving the actual problems. These people are Philip K. Howard, Jeffrey Brenner and Marc Micozzi.
The first video is the speech of the founder of the Common Good, Philip K. Howard, ...

A 2010 documentary film Inside Job is directed by Charles H. Ferguson and discusses upon the 2008 financial crisis. The film is divided into 5 parts, which explain what led to the financial crisis in the United States. Inside Job was well received by the film critics, and it won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
The film features numerous examples of potentially illegal practices including different actions, affirmative statements, omissions and schemes. My attention was mostly paid to the Goldman Sachs case of 2007-2008 concerning the short-selling of the subprime mortgage-backed securities the company was ...

Movie Review: A Civil Action

Movie Review: A Civil Action
Based on a novel of Jonathan Harr, this movie called “A Civil Action” depicts the story of two lawyers who are at loggerheads—Jan Schlichtmann (John Travolta) and Jerome Facher (Robert Duvall). The issue revolves around the death of 12 children who suffered from leukemia. In this movie, Jan Schlichtmann contends that the death of the 12 children could be attributed to the pollution caused by the two major corporations called W. R. Grace and Beatrice. However, Jerome Facher takes the opposite side, and presents his counterarguments against Schlichtmann that neither the pollution nor ...

It is an evident fact that the term integrity is used in a different context that changes its meanings pertaining to the subject where it applies. For instance, integrity of the written content may be questioning its originality. The same concept being applied to the situation of the building would interrogate its ability to withstand the load. The purpose of this paper is to formulate a personal definition of integrity and then apply it to the scenarios taken from the episode of Malcolm in the Middle entitled, “Water Parks”. In such a manner, it will be easier to understand the contextual meanings ...

In this paperwork, I am going to discuss a movie review about the Naked Spur.

The Naked Spur by Anthony Mann, (1953)-Starring James Stewart and Janet Leigh
A film most appropriate for the adult viewers-It is a wonderfully filmed, stylistic, and moralizing. The film is among the best westerns Mann made with James Stewart, whereby, the corporeal battle is in line with the hero’s personal clash.
Stewart is depicted as a silent frontiersman who ends up losing his home, while fighting in the civil war. It, therefore, becomes a challenge to him, Stewart, for he has to buy a new grubstake. Stewart has to raise enough money for the new grubstake and this leads ...

Breaking Bad is a crime drama that aired from 2008 to 2013 and received a lot of controversial feedback from the publicity. While the audience considered the show to be one of the greatest shows that ever aired on TV, the story is far beyond simple TV drama. The protagonist of the series is a middle-aged chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with lung cancer. Not only that, but Walter White suffers from other circumstances that he does not know how to deal with: unemployed pregnant wife, terminally ill child and huge debts for cancer treatment. As a result of these issues, Walter finds ...

System of Justice

The “system of justice” that was shown in the film “In the Name of the Father” was tainted with corruption and dishonesty. The movie starts with the false conviction of four individuals for the bombing in Guildford causing the death of one civilian and four British soldiers. These four innocent people were later known as the “Guildford Four”. The movie showed the injustices done to innocent citizens by the present British court system.
The movie depicted the corrupt police investigation after the lawyer in the person of Gareth Peirce accidentally discovered important police files that were being kept ...

I do believe that legislations like SOPA, ACTA, PIPA, TPP, and ITU should be there in the online world. They help reduce piracy and promote creativity. With these legislations in place, there is increased protection of content creators. The cloning of products from the United States by China and India is not right because it will kill the economy. In the end, the social aspect that these technologies wanted to bring forth will still be achieved. The laws on copyrights should be implemented and in place. With the strict implementations of these laws, I strongly believe that a free economy ...

Awareness about Justice

The Video “Nelson Mandela: 1918-2013” is a tribute to Mandela by various religious comunities after his demise on December 5, 2013. The things I learnt about justice are:
- Justice can be achieved by peace and non-violence.
- Nations can be won without hating and seeking revenge.
- Mandela got justice to the Apartheid community and turned them into black majority to achieve multi-racial democracy.
- He joined African National Congress to provide justice to the Apartheid community for which he was sentenced to life prison.
- As an idol of peace that he was, ...

The film is an illuminating illustration of the dearth of ethical and legal frameworks of operations in some businesses. While the case is an extreme exaggeration, it nonetheless presents some ethical and legal issues that current industry players fail to observe. This paper shall discuss some of the legal and ethical issues that surface and briefly recommend the ways to go about solving these issues. However, before proceeding to the issues, it is essential to address the two questions presented at the end of the film. The questions are what one would have done as the CEO instead of ...

False Confession

A false confession refers to an admission of guilt by a suspect whereas the confessor is not responsible for the offence charged. Such an event can be as a result of incompetency on the part of the accused, insanity or may as well be induced through coercion. The story of the Norfolk Four as depicted through the film, The Confessions, is a classic case of false confession by the accused persons who were consequently convicted. It is also critical to note as evident in the film that the Norfolk Four waived their rights as laid down in the Miranda case. The possibility ...

The Butler based upon the true story Eugene Allen of a man who served eight American Presidents over the course of his employment as a butler in the White House. Over the course of 34 years working in the White House, the fictional Gaines and the real Allen served as eyewitness of the sweeping changes to civil rights law and attitudes. Some of Allen’s life events are fictionalized for the movie. The real Eugene Allen’s parents did not suffer the same abuses that Gaines’s did in the movie, however the fictional version uses these iconic events to portray ...

His credentials include a degree in business course in at the University of Missouri and University of Houston, where Lay completed a Ph.D. degree in economics in the year 1970 (Clinard and Meier, 2008, p. 180).

Movie Review: Farmingville

If someone were to ask me what I think about illegal immigration, I would have a hard time figuring out where to get started. Honestly, I have never really thought about the issue of illegal immigration, and it is not something that directly affects me in any way. However, I am fond of documentary films in which political and social climates are analyzed, and Farmingville (2004), directed by Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini is one such documentary. Moreover, the issue of illegal immigration that this documentary film raises is also a good debate, especially since it is a political and social issue ...

“What happens when wrong feels right and right feels wrong? When situations that appear to be black and white turn out to be gray?” (The Literary Analyst).The bygone philosophy of novelists writing what they desire stands firm. For me, a director holds the same status when it comes to films, in fact all artists irrespective of their desired form of art should have the liberty to think and make people do the same. This perfectly sounds true of Ben Affleck’s triumphant and remarkable debut in Gone Baby Gone (2007), which is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s heavily ...

Movie Review: The Warning

Brief Summary of the Video
The video that was selected was entitled “The Warning” featured online through Frontline.

The consequences for granting exemptions to U.S. federal labour laws to garment subcontractors operating on Saipan was that they could pay the workers a fraction of the minimum wage, work them harder in poor conditions and for longer hours.
This proves that the neoliberal agenda breeds the growth of inequality as the multinational corporations will naturally move their factories to countries that allow exploitation of third workers, free trade only benefits the one percent, the other ninety nine percent are left without jobs in their own countries because all the factories have moved to third world countries to save ...

In the recent film Won't Back Down (2012), Jamie Fitzpatrick (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a single mother and bartender who gradually embarks on a social justice campaign to take over her local public school, which is failing miserably.

Social Control theorists maintain that most people obey the laws, rules and regulations of mainstream society because they have been trained and socialized to do so, while those who are more likely to become criminals and delinquents have weal social and community bonds. Travis Hirshi wrote the classic work on social control theory, Causes of Delinquency in 1969. Numerous studies of juvenile delinquents over the last forty years have confirmed Hirschi’s views that such youths do feel detached from society and conventional morality, and have a weak attachment to family, friends and school. Poverty, segregation and racism are the ...

This will enable better understanding in the ...

In the 1985 film Kiss of the Spider Woman, a political prisoner and an effeminate gay man live out their stay in an Argentinian prison. Both of these characters have their own demons to overcome, but their imprisonment is a result of their government's dissatisfaction with their activities. In this way, their struggles are very representative of the trials and tribulations these same kinds of people encountered in Brazilian culture at the time, but in many ways it is a dramatic departure.

Luis Molina, the effeminate gay man, was imprisoned because of his homosexuality; the military dictatorship that ruled until the year ...

Summary:

Erin Brockovich is surely a great film and the way it is constructed and pans out demonstrates that it can reveal certain intricacies in the political system of the United states which are quite scandalous to say the least. It provided an excellent background for the coursework we are doing and thus is more than highly recommended.
Erin Brockovich is a very likeable character and the way she is played by Julia Roberts is absolutely brilliant. She manages to portray the intrinsic details of American politics in a subtle yet determined way and all comes together quite magically towards the end. ...

Introduction

In his seminal work, A History of the Nine Principles of Policing, Robert Peel of the London Metropolitan Police (LMP) mentioned two important principles of policing. First, “no quality is more indispensable to a policeman than a perfect command of temper; a quiet, determined manner has more effect than violent action.” Second, “The securing and training of proper persons is at the root of efficiency.” This review will apply these principles in the context of law enforcer management and training.

American gangster movies have been in vogue for a very long time and have been a favorite of the American audience. The issues which surround law and order in the country have been captured well by gangster movies which depict criminals and vivid crime scenes.

Psychology

It would be hard to prevent people from using methamphetamine, used to treat common cold, cough and allergies, as a drug. As they are easily available with druggists, anyone can walk into a drug store and order medicines for common cold that contains methamphetamine. If the views of some of the meth users are to be considered seriously, the spread of a potential epidemic could dwarf the Black Death. The movie, The Meth Epidemic reinstates our fear that the easy access to dangerous drugs is taking the country into a dark oblivion. This is because this film portrays a realistic picture of an issue ...

Q2:
One of the indirect effects of the scene is that it changed the way Elle’s friend thinks about her. Hence, Elle’s friend changes her perspective towards her and fails to recognize Elle's achievements during her internship period with Professor Callahan, where she encountered different clients and gained her trust. This is because she misinterprets the sexual harassment from the famous Prof. Callahan to be caused by Elle herself. Another indirect effect of the scene is that it affected Elle's parents.

We would like to analyze the American film, directed by Antoine Fuqua in 2001. The film is called “Training Day”. In that there are starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.

a. Pablo Escobar’s history of violence led to his ascension towards the leadership of the Medellin cartel. The lack of law and order in the Colombian countryside – where much of the drug trade has been going on, provided a favorable environment for Escobar’s brand of violence. He started rising through the ranks of the Medellin cartel when he traded drugs with then-cartel leader Fabio Restrepo. With the knowledge that he is taken too lightly for looking like a “street criminal” in the eyes of the cartel, his notoriety for violence soon enabled him to get Restrepo out of the ...

I think that the film provides a well-detailed and comprehensive analysis of the causes of the global financial crisis. Ferguson says that at a figure of $20 trillion, the financial crisis almost lead to another great depression akin to the 1929 depression. There is a global connection to the crisis that spans geography. The crisis extends from the United States, China, France, Singapore, Iceland and England. Ferguson uses research from politicians, journalists, scholars and financial insiders to present a mind-blowing assessment of the financial crisis. Ferguson’s documentary the Inside Job is an accurate depiction of the causes of the financial meltdown that ...
