After World War II, Singapore was devastated; Japan had surrendered, to their surprise, and the British moved in on September 5, 1945. A lot of the problems that occurred not long afterwards plagued the country for years, if not decades, after the fact. First, there were immense food shortages; it was difficult to get extra food to Singapore, as countries that produced rice before were not able to spare the surplus rice to sell to the country.

An introductory code of target marketing is market segmentation. In application of this code, the exploit of demographic profiles has become a admired form of segmenting markets and discovering markets. Age, sex, and household income are specific cases of demographic variables that have been shown to be forecasters of attitudes and behaviour. Furthermore, generational cohort, described as a group of people united by a span of birth years characteristically 17-23 years in period, has been exploited as a widespread approach for sectioning markets based upon age. The generational cohort segments have been revealed to be exceptional with their form, character, views, and core values.

The film follows Colonel Mike Kirby, leader of a Green Beret Unit, as he fights in South Vietnam and defends his men against actions taken by the North Vietnamese. In this essay, several aspects of the film will be critiqued, comparing the viewpoint explored in the film with the truth of US Army actions during ...
