Family Oriented Show Analysis

The drums are one of humanities oldest musical instrument and, like all instruments, the drums continue existing to this day as a method of communication. Previously drumming was often used as a social mediator, played to bring together the community and act as a vehicle in carrying messages and stories, alongside ceremonial use. However, within the last century, the drums have morphed radically into their current potential purpose and capabilities. Drifting from their roots as a vehicle for the community into its very own art, and modern drumming is undeniably an art, requiring immense dedication and devotion to actualise a drummer’s potential. Similar to other musical instruments as art forms, the drums allow for a high capacity to incorporate

This myth states that women are the weaker sex, should be the nurturers of the family, and that they do not belong in the work place.

The film, Precious, is a powerfully charged story that delves into the family dynamics of a 16-year-old girl and her struggles to survive an onslaught of treacherous experiences. Throughout the film, the viewer is enveloped in a dramatic web of extreme situations, experienced by the main character, and those to whom she is close. The themes of domestic violence, rape, incest, drug addiction, gambling, poverty, social justice, social services, housing and education are laced together throughout the story. Particularly poignant attention is paid to various systems that help shape the experiences of the characters. The social services industry, and its associated workers, educators and administrators, set the foundation for the social themes that are highlighted by this film.

While reading The Family Crucible, the authors made it feel like I was watching a life-time television series. There were several high points and low points during the family therapy session that left me unsure of how the show would end. This book takes you on a journey using family counseling to help a family heal and communicate better with one another. I thought it was interesting how this systematic therapy took place in a time where therapy was looked at as taboo. Many times in that era family therapy was not an option. The main focus was on the family member with the issue and not on the parents or other family members. In the book the authors used different theories and approaches during the counseling sessions which were quite interesting. This process after time enabled the family to look at the journey they were on in order to understand how the family, as a whole, should function.

Along with background music, sound effects play more of a role on the way we feel than many moviegoers think, and "although the function of sound effects is primarily atmospheric, they can also be precise sources of meaning in film" (Giannetti, 225). When the

The Family Crucible is a story about the Brice family who is recommended by Claudia’s psychiatrist to go to family therapy due to the fact that she has not been making any progress in individual psychotherapy. The Brice family comes in to meet with Dr. Carl Whitaker and Dr. Augustus Napier, who co-facilitate family therapy throughout the entirety of the book.

did the same thing in some agency they do not let you accept anything even if it is tradition in the family. Walt would of course have to turn them down more politely. Later in the movie we see that the family keep bringing food to Walt and he said no once again if they kept insisting Welt might have had to ask for the family to be transferred to a new social worker because the relationship wouldn't work (Karen K. Kirst-Ashman,1970). Furthermore, as the movie progresses we see that Walt starts to become a type of mentor to Thao. Walt asked him what would he like to become in the future and he said he would like to become a lawyer and Walt told him that his sun is a lawyer he told him that he doesn't think he will become one.

The family I have chosen to study and observe is that one of a very close friend of mine. His name is Rafael, he is a 38 yrs. old United States Marines Communication Technician; He was a stationed at Camp Lejune, North Carolina when they met about 5 years ago, soon to retire now in 2 years; his wife Theresa is now 25, stay at home mom and they have 2 boys together, Elias 6 & Alan 4.

In both of the shows, family and family values are shown more realistically, however there a few slight differences. In Charmed the whole value of their ethics is what they have together as a family and what they fight for, and they would stick up for each other no matter what, even if it was in a life and death situation such as the tragedy of Prue’s death. Even though family is their bond even love can be a burden “love just feels like an invitation for more pain.” In The Originals, they might not seem to love each other, but family is the most important thing they have ; they may not show it, but their ruthlessness is caused by a series of threats to their beloved. Klaus may be evil, yet when you glimpse at his little girl the first thing

Jordan Tuggle (9), Kelsey Roberts (9), and Hunter Satterfield (10) practice their special choreography to “We Are Family” in the beginning Phoenix Voices class. Jordan admitted, “I love Mrs. Deana because I used to dance for her. I think that she is an amazing choreographer, but I have to admit that it can be a bit hard to sing and dance at the same time.” They have prepared to perform “We Are Family” at their choral concert in October.

In high school, I might have been known as the “weird girl,” but today, to many outside of it, I am known as the “successful girl.” High school wasn’t my thing, the whole stereotyped aspects of it. If you were known as anyone you were on an athletic team, if you took honors and accelerated classes you were known as a nerd, and answering questions in class gets you pinned as the teacher’s pet in high school. I myself didn’t like it because not only are cliques and charming looks not my thing, but because it didn’t mesh with the lifestyle I am proud to live as a part of the agriculture industry. Back in high school, I wasn’t just known as weird, but as an outsider as I was involved in 4-H and FFA, organizations for youth in agriculture, and did things such as giving up spring break to attend a livestock show or my senior prom to compete in a meat judging contest, two very important events, maybe not to others, but to me.

In today’s circle we first meditated which I desperately needed because I was so excited that I had finally gotten my license. The circle today went extremely well I thought Catie and Rahsaan did great. I liked the check-in question. It was ironic because my friend had asked me the same question two hours before class. Their circle helped me clarify the reading a bit more. I know that family group conference focused on face-to-face encounter involving offenders and their families, the victims and their supporters, a police representative, and etc…. Most of us during the circle had the same answers to the questions. Mainly because the information we were giving out was mostly likely from the readings and personal experience. The circle was also melancholy

My project can be related to the class because it is about family. It defines what a family is and who family is for different type of people. I specifically drew upon the different types of families. The ones used in my project the nuclear family, extended family, multi-generational family, modified extended family, traditional, and non-traditional family. Many people in my family fit the labels of the different types of family. What I did is what we learned in the class the first week. What a family is. I did not go into certain cultures and values of the family because I did not ask them what their values were. My project can relate to class because it is showing that families in the United States are changing. The United States

Acousmatic sounds in cinema are those sounds that are present without a visible source. The sounds are aural elements used in the film and embody a spatial quality within themselves. Acousmatic and non-acousmatic sounds are essential in cinema because they provide the spectator with a better understanding of the film through both visuals and sound. Michel Chion explores the idea of the acousmatic sound in his essay The Voice in Cinema where he talks about Acousmatic sounds in conjunction with religion where the priests/ religious leaders would often sit behind a curtain and deliver speeches. Chion draws ideas from Psychoanalysis and connects it with acousmatic sounds. In the context of psychoanalysis, the therapist’s voice is a substitute of an acousmatic sound when the patient is in a state of hypnosis. The idea of an acousmatic sound can be understood with the example of a radio. The voice of a radio jockey is acousmatized since it doesn’t have a visible source but the presence of the radio jockey helps us to imagine a kind of presence through the medium of sound. Chion points out that if we study a film by only listening to the sound and removing the visuals, it

Theater was always something that I admired and wanted to get involved with, but I never did. Noises Off is the second play I’ve ever attended in my entire life. Watching this play and analyzing it has made me gain so much respect for the people that work hard to make plays happen. In the following sections I will discuss the general plot of the play. I will describe the characters and who they are. I will also talk about the set, lighting, dialogue, music, and other aspects of the theater. First, let’s introduce the characters.
