For this critique, I have selected Dorothy Johnson’s Behavioral System Model (BSM). The key idea behind the theory is to enable effective behavioral function, to restore, or to maintain the effective behavioral integrity in the client.

The history of film, much like any other industry throughout time, has largely been male-dominated, with the vast majority of opportunities and accolades going to male filmmakers. However, it is important to note the influence of women in the film industry, and the sorely underappreciated role they have throughout the history of cinema.

The illiterate and weaponless militants of the most devastated and unstable region like Afghanistan were able to bring down, ...
