1) This video was an educational and eye-opening documentary about the infamous Alzheimer’s Disease and its effects on the victim and their family. The film follows several different families, each directly affected by the disease, and how they cope with the loss of their, or a loved one’s, memories and mind. One such family, the Noonans, had a rare form of the disease, where its destruction of the mind began much earlier in life, around age fifty. Three of the Noonan siblings out of ten caught Alzheimer’s and none of the other seven knew whether they had the gene for it or not, passed on by their mother, who also died of this. Watching this unfold in the movie “The Forgetting” was rather eye-opening,

This movie based off of a southern family living in Memphis, Tennessee will show you a true taste of southern hospitality. In every film you have your list of characters along with their personalities and most importantly their motives. Along with the certain qualities of every character comes the ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos which stands for the goodness of a film and/or ethics goes hand in hand with the sender of a film, Pathos which is the passion and emotions of a film which goes hand in hand with the receiver, and lastly the logos which is the logic/information that sends a message. Each rhetoric sends a message and surely puts a movie together.

The film introduces the concept of McDonaldization to the food companies. McDonalds first introduced this concept in the first fast food chain; the idea was to make the restaurant more efficient. In the 1930’s, McDonalds own a very successful chain of restaurants, but they McDonald brothers wanted to expand their brand; while doing this they would revolutionize the restaurant industry. They would hire employees to do only one just, such as cooking the fries, and this would be the only thing the employee would do all day at work. The purpose was to be able to get food out faster and hire workers for lower wages because of the small amount of responsibilities the worker would have. The restaurant would fire all the extra employees and simplify the menu, and then the first fast food restaurant would be born. The concept of McDonaldization spread to many other restaurants and is still in use today. The idea of McDonaldization also made its way to meat packing companies; the assembly line concept will be used. Employees do the same demeaning task all day, and their pay reflects the low level of creativity. Many other businesses have incorporated the idea of simplifying decisions and decreasing the time it takes to make a sale. Think about the mall, every store is laid out and organized in a manner where

The movie Up is a story of an elderly man named Carl who, through many hardships and struggles, goes through the grieving process from the loss of his deceased wife named Ellie. Carl and Ellie met at a young age, sharing an interest for exploring and eventually traveling to a destination called Paradise Falls. After Ellie passes away, Carl holds onto her memory and refuses to let it go by attaching himself to the home they built. In return, this attachment turns him into a negative person. This is an example of Erickson’s psychosocial theory, which states that people experience certain crises that cause differing personality characteristics, such as Carl’s negativity from the pain of his diseased wife.

Many of the restaurant founders did not even have a high education, they all dropped out of school at an early age. Carl N. Karcher was a farmer, but then later his uncle offered him a job in Anaheim, where his whole life had changed completely. He was the first person who changed the fast food industry. Later, came along the McDonald's brothers whom came across with a system called Speedeeserve, which meant that any employer can work different jobs rather than each individual person have the same exact position.

The story starts off with a small business owner by the name of Ray Kroc, we see how he struggles to sell his product day to day until on day when two brothers place an order for eight of Ray’s milkshake mixers, this leaves Ray curious and thus he goes to investigate how a small shop could possibly require eight multi milkshake mixers.

The film seems to show the ideal man as a wildly successful, rich, and indulgent man. But in direct contrast the end of the film also shows the main character seeming to flail for more and more items, kind of in a way to feel secure about his masculinity to make sure he's on top. Belfort seems to exploit others to make money and therefore make himself feel better and more in control and become the better man, something that can be paralleled to powerful people today (Denson). In contrast to the theme of masculinity is the movies strong theme of misogyny. Throughout the movie there is an oversexualizing of women everywhere from prostitution to the wife of Jordan, Naomi, to the extent that the actress that played Naomi, Margot Robbie, initially turned down the role initially because she didn’t want to be displayed as a sex object (Thackray).

Kroc's idea of the way to develop McDonald's into a profit was to sell an operating service to partners. This revolutionary way of doing things, instead of just supplying franchisees with milk-shake formula and ice cream, is what led to

As I watched the movie The Big Kahuna, I found a lot of underlying issues and themes that allows me to reflection upon my life at King University. As a person begins a journey in their life, they typically have in mind some goals in mind, but these goals will likely change over time as we grow up in life. "The Big Kahuna" takes plays in a “hospitality suite” with three men waiting uneasily to land the big account for industrial lubricants. The movie is mostly dialogue between three people talking about their business strategy, their sales goals, the cutthroat world of industrial lubricants, and Big Kahuna can transform their lives. The movie is about three men Larry (Kevin Spacey) an affably cynical salesman, Phil (Danny DeVito) recently divorce veteran salesman, and Bob (Peter Facinelli) the green idealist kid salesmen. Larry is a born salesman that is blunt confrontation. His character is based on the game of selling the product, because his view is simply to hustle, and treat people as nametag only. Larry’s personality is edgy, sardonic, and very competitive. Phil is low key seasoned veteran of the company man and recently divorce from his wife. Phil is seen as more easygoing and the closer of deals. Bob is the green idealist kid and rookie of the three salesmen. Bob is the see as the “new kid of the block”, and he believes the best tactic to land the big account is to have a truly meaningful a conversation with the person. Each character in the film shows how God’s

McDonald has been a well-known and valuable brand for over half a century. The company’s mission and vision is striving to be the world’s best quick service restaurant and formalizing their beliefs into “People, Vision, and People Promise”. “Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value” also became the company’s motto.

Later in 1954, Ray Kroc became the first official franchisee appointed by Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California” (Chandiramani, Ravi). Soon after, Mr. Kroc opened his first restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, and the McDonald’s corporation was created. The new franchise began to grow rapidly as a result of its
