The 2012 movie Argo is based off of a true event in 1979. During the Iranian Civil War, President Jimmy Carter gives the Iranian Shah refuge in the U.S. due to his illness. In retaliation, Iranian activists invade the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran and the staff are taken as hostages. This is famously known as the Iranian hostage crises. Although six of the staff members escape and are taken in by the Canadian Ambassador. Determined to rescue the six, Tony Mendez, who is our main character, from the CIA is brought in because of his expertise.

Staffing can have a direct link to patient care. It has also been linked to important patient outcomes like in hospital mortality and adverse events. Without the adequate staffing it not only affects the patient-care that can be provided it also limits the amount of patients that can be seen and helped. On top of those things, it increases the healthcare providers stress due to usually being assigned more patients in the same amount of time. It is not uncommon to see a nurse have 7 patients at one time due to staffing shortages or scheduling mishaps. To be able to give optimal care staffing needs to be up to par on a daily basis. I believe staffing affects many of the other themes in Code Black. For instance, poor staffing can increase wait

The purge is great for so many reasons, not only does it help end overpopulation, but it would also help relieve citizens of their sinful desires (regarding murder) and your mother’s will to devour hamburgers. Relieving the inner rages of citizens, would ultimately contribute to a society of lower crime rate and stronger economy. It is projected that after the purge, unemployment rates would plummet to 1%! Of course, the less people alive, the better possibility for jobs. For a small sacrifice of purging once a year, you can prevent tens of thousands from dying in the near-future, 364 days a

However the fact to burn everything that could put on the verge the unity of an entire population comes from dark ages of our past. We could remember, for instance, the witch hunts which occurred everywhere in Europe and after in the United States of America several centuries later. The fear of the unknown but also the fear of everything which is different than us leaded us to some inhuman practices. Here we could especially make the parallel with these practices; the fact to burn or drown someone was reserved to inhuman people. These executions happened to calm down but also and especially entertain the people. Without being only stuck on the Witch Hunt argument, we could also think that this celebration is here to let the people know that

The film, the Untouchables, was directed by Brian De Palma. It was set in the prohibition era, which was right at the start of the 1920’s. Prohibition can be described as a law that made selling and manufacturing alcohol illegal. By putting this law into effect, it actually increased the amount of crime and violence throughout cities in the US. This was ultimately due to the rise in organized crime, also known as gangs. In the movie specifically, it was centered around the rise of the Mafia in Chicago. By looking at the production of the movie, we can see how during prohibition, the Mafia controls everything and the violence ultimately it leads to.

The untouchables is a movie based on the true events that occurred when the eighteenth amendment was passed. The eighteenth amendment established the prohibition of production, transport, and sale of alcohol. The Federal Agent Eliot Ness wants to stop Al Capone, who is the top of organized crime. It was a hard job for Eliot Ness because Al Capone with his money bought many policemen, politicians, and other important people, therefore Eliot Ness could trust anyone. Eliot Ness had to choose no more than twelve men to form his squad. The Untouchables were formed by Eliot Ness, and another nine men he picked, they were called the Untouchables because they never accepted any bribes. Al Capone One of Al Capone’s men offered Eliot Ness $2,000 to stop interfering with the organization and an additional $2,000 if he continued to cooperate. Eliot Ness’s plan was to make an impact in the income of the gangsters, so they couldn’t pay for protection. (Biography.com)

Have you ever wanted to get rid of all of your stress? Well having a purge would help you do exactly that. The thrill of killing someone makes you forget everything entirely and just focus on the person you are killing. Maybe there are certain people who make you stressed, kill them and your stress is gone forever. Now the purge is only for a few hours so if you have multiple people who cause you to have stress, move very quickly. (appeal to authority)

The definition of the word purge is “to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable.” This is where the story gets the idea of killing those who are not important to society. In this manner, the movies are sort of demented in letting thoughtless murder be legal for 12 hours. I have always wondered why the only crime committed was murder and not anything else such as theft for instance. Breaking into the mall and having a free for all in Victoria’s Secret is where I would be on the night of the purge. On another note, murder is a lot more interesting than a bunch of girls going shopping or some nerds fighting over the latest gadget at GameStop.

My first premise is that it is the government’s duty to keep their citizens happy. In The Elements of Moral Philosophy, Rachels discusses “The Social Contract.” This contract “requires [man] to set aside his self-centered designs in favor of rules that benefit everyone” (Rahcels 85). Additionally, it states that “the purpose of government is to enforce vital moral rules” (Rachels 85). According to Mill, happiness is “one of the criteria of morality” (Mill 25).” Therefore it is the government’s responsibility to keep their citizens happy. According to The Greatest Happiness Principle- a principle that will be indulged deeper on later- happiness can be achieved through various avenues such as obligations or revenge plots. By celebrating the purge the government is fulfilling their part

The Minority Report is a film that tries to stop crimes before they happen, with the enlistment of 3 teen pre-cogs. These pre-cogs predict future murders and the authorities swoop in and arrest the would-be murders, before they have the chance of committing the crime. Even thing goes great until Anderton, a cop played by Tom Cruise, is suspected. Written by Philip K. Dick and then turned to film by Steven Spielberg in 2002, the short story to film became a success. Though there are many differences between the book and the movie, one would think Steven Spielberg would not be able to grab audience’s attention, but with his skills, Spielberg went above and beyond all measures. Many times, novels to films end up being either a great hit

The film had a more serious element to it, making the fear in the film more horrifying. The first half of the film was weird it also took a decent length for things to rumble. Yet unlike the original the death scenes were more gruesome, I closed my eyes in some scenes. Horrific sounds of people screaming sounded so real it scared me. The effects were sweet but the acting was a terrifying tale of chaos on it's on level. I couldn’t have cared less to what was about to happen to these people with their mediocre skills they call acting. Terrifyingly bad acting for a horror film can make it legendary or destroy it. In this storytelling the acting was butchered like a cold slab of rotten meat. I totally thought the homage to “The Shining” was a pleasant trip down memory lane to a better film, but the effects as well as deaths were grisly disturbing images which was one of the things I was digging about this film. To me the connection to the characters weren’t as easy going to which the original
