With this being said, the successful white families hired in the African American women to cook, clean, and in most cases, take care of the children. They were known as the help. Throughout both the book and the movie, the African American women experienced many forms of gender, race and class inequality.

Over the past decade globalisation has been viewed as a concept in its promise of cultural and economic collaboration, of democratic unity in diversity- in turn Globalisation invites and resists what is perceived as coercive imperial conformity. Therefore, it is no shock when director Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu seized upon this newly sacred subject and portray it in a unique and unprecedented manor. The film weaves four interconnected plotlines set in four different countries. Juxtaposing many aggressively contrasting narratives, settings and characters, Babel portrays both the impacts of globalisation on the modern world and the effects it has on the individual. The film is unprecedented in the respect that it fascinatingly

Ewick and Silbey offer many reasons as too why “before the law” and “with the law” puts a perspective on how Americans view law. Through our culture’s viewpoint on law through movies, media, TV, etc., we have this idea that lawyers are either good or bad when in fact they are heroes. “Legally Blonde” and “Liar Liar” both display the heroic lawyer and offer us incite on how their demeanor affects how Americans portray law. From the past to present, movie films give us a misrepresentation of lawyers and make it difficult for us as Americans to perceive lawyers. When we watch these movies, we depict them as being good or bad when we should consider them heroes.

Throughout my academic career, I had always advanced in my math courses. I possessed the ability to ponder about the abstract qualities of math, which further helped me understand the subject. As my academic career in high school progressed and math gained complexity I began to lose this ability. Considering that fact, the last two years of high school the subject in which I have had the most progress and growth has been film-photography, instead of math, Through the course, I have been able to see the growth of my art through two years variegated, complex work. Although math used to be my favorite subject the ability for me to frankly explore my ideas and my creativity lies in photography, which lends itself to be my favorite subject, a subject in which I excel in.

I always knew from the beginning that I would never text and drive. When I started to learn how to drive it was very difficult for me. At the time I thought driving was something very challenging and I didn’t understand how people would be able to text while driving. As time went by and I gain confidence in driving I realized then that that is when people start to get careless about their driving habits. A while back AT&T started a campaign It Can Wait to get people to stop texting and driving. They released many short films that showed the consequences of texting and driving. Watching AT&T’s short film From One Second to the Next inspired me to never ever text and drive. That moment after watching the film was when I knew that I would never text behind the wheel. The film showed the consequences of driving and texting. The film illustrated a variety of emotional, legal and remorseful consequences.

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.
