9 To 5 No Longer: Movie Analysis

These figures demonstrate significant trends in the changing profile of today’s labour pool. Not only are companies forced to recruit and hire from an increasingly diverse workforce, but companies intent on succeeding also will have to retain, motivate and engage the most talented women. Flexible work arrangements are options for helping working mothers integrate work and family responsibilities, so that women can function better both at home and in the workplace.

Thirty-eight percent of Americans report some tension between their work and home lives. Today’s highly publicized work/life balance conflicts are multiple, and their nature differs significantly depending on the jobs individuals have and on their family situations. Tensions between work and family life clearly have implications for the well-being of individuals and their children and ramifications for society in general. Yet because the personal needs, desires, motivations, and economic circumstances of Americans are so varied, there appears to be no single way to resolve these tensions, no universal best practices with regard to work/life balance. For example,

To my understanding, the movie Home for the Holidays not only reveals a lot of potential family conflicts, but also reflects a lot of different communication approaches of the various family members. As a foreigner, I have never experienced Thanksgiving homecoming dinner before, so I may cannot understand some of the holiday customs in the movie, but I found out that their family interactions are interesting indeed.

When I got married, I was working as a federal contractor for a company that conducted background investigations. The days were very long, some at 10 hours, most at 12. My husband worked at the same company, so we were on the same schedule. This worked well for us, but as we started to discuss building our family, I began to wonder if this would be practical. I did not mind working so much, but knew having a baby would change a lot. Once I became pregnant, it slowly became evident I could not continue such crazy schedules. I moved to part-time status shortly after, and ultimately left my job just months before having our daughter.

Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.

During the end of the 3rd Century, the Playwright Plautus wrote many of the first Roman comedies. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a musical comedy film adaptation of Plautus's comedies.Set in ancient Rome, many aspects of Roman theatre, including stock characters, were included in the film’s production. While the film is based off of multiple comedies, Plautus's Pseudolus character Calidorus is nearly identical to the film’s Hero. During the time Pseudolus was written, the Crisis of the Third Century led to up to 25% of Roman population being comprised of slaves(Southern). Of the many stock characters Platus included in his comedies, Calidorus/Hero, the son of Pseudolus’s owner and the stock character adulescens, best

In ESPN’S film, A Fighting Chance, wrestler Kyle Maynard uses regulation of his arousal levels to conquer the tasks of everyday life but also to fulfill his passion of wrestling with no arms or legs. Kyle Maynard became one of the most inspirational people to others who are affected with a disability. Kyle was able to overcome situations such as name-calling, starring, and limitations on activities of daily living to fulfill all of his desires such as driving a car or fighting in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) matches in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu categories. Kyle was able to overcome these by using social coping with people such as his best friend and trainer who had absolute faith in him while encouraging and supporting him in whatever he desired. Kyle’s parents also distilled this trait of overcoming barriers from a young age by not introducing prosthetics into his life and showing him that he could do anything he set his mind to.

Arlie Russell Hochschild presents an interesting phenomenon in her work The Time Bind. She explains that “The more attracted we are to the world of work, the more its deadlines, its cycles, its pauses and interruptions shape our lives and the more family time is forced to accommodate to the pressures of work.” The attempt to balance personal and professional lives is a growing challenge for today’s working parents, who are seeing a change in the amount of time they spend at work and home, all of which depends on “the nature of a person’s job, company, and life at home.” In her book, Hochschild presents a case study of employees working at Amerco, a Fortune 500 firm that “had been identified as one of the ten most ‘family-friendly’ companies in America by the Families and Work Institute, by Working Mother magazine, and by the authors of Companies that Care.” In an attempt to keep from spending money to hire workers every time a parent left his or her position, Amerco began offering “options for part-time work, job sharing, and flextime,” only to find that many employees do not take advantage for their opportunities,

The characteristics of an “ideal worker” are long, inflexible hours. Business’ claim to have family values and employers pride themselves on being “family-friendly” however, those who seek part time work face penalties. Mothers cannot live up to the “ideal worker” model, because there employers are not fully accommodating to the family ideals. All of these things are a factor behind why women quit their jobs and do not reach their full job

The way I see is that Americans are truly the villain in The Host. Americans do illegal, dangerous actions in Korean, which causes the monster, so Koreans did not like and support how the US operates in their country. For example, in the opening scene, an American ordered his Korean subordinate to dump all the dusty bottle into Han river. It is so crazy and irresponsible. Through the rest of the movie, there is an American doctor with a cross-eyed. That character looks like an idiot, and by extension make the country he represents look idiotic too. Finally, when the US Military in the film decided to use Agent Yellow to cleansing the area and to kill the monster. Koreans organized demonstrations to against the release of Agent Yellow by the

There are many movies in which I think are very inappropriate for children under the age of 12, but kids over that age have seen and heard about a lot more. For instance I have seen the movie bad moms and that was rated R, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a 11 year old. There have been multiple movies that are rated R, and I am not allowed to see them because of the sexual stuff and swearing. Like I wanted to see Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates, but I wasn’t allowed to. Also I wanted to see Why Him, with James Franco starring in it, but I wasn’t allowed to see that either., both because they were rated R.

As i read through these two passages it made me think about the good and bad ideas that these this two opinions shared. I'm a 25 year old female who is married and has children. I dropped out of highschool to start life as an adult. Quickly i learned that being in school was better then going out to the " work day life ". As quickly as i learned you have to work for your living , more hours means more money. Now that i am a mother to my two children , i have to make sure that they receive everything they need. When i say that i mean i have to work hard everyday and make sure to make it to work to make money.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

There are many different types of film and film genres. A film can fit into more than one genre, but there are some genres that are more general than others. Some examples of film genre are animated, science fiction, documentary, comedy, and historical fiction. Within each genre, there are also specific characteristics that help support themes and story lines within that genre.
