Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift

An example of one of my leadership roles was on the first day of class. I was chosen to lead in a group communication. We were presented with an assignment on characteristics of group communication. The assignment involved factors and behavior that contributed to our group. We determined that communication was the most important factor. The skills the group had to establish were a common goal, working together in small groups, and synergy. See Chapter 1. Another example of a leadership role was on the discussion panel project. The project was very challenging and labor intensive. We learned how technology and computer-mediated technology effect communication. See Chapter 15.

I would say the status I currently occupy would be the democratic leader role. A leader is a person who can consistently influence the behaviors of others and the outcomes of the behaviors and actions. In this role that I currently occupy happens in two places the home and the workplace. Within the family I am a democratic leader where communication flows entirely amongst everyone in the family we choose together and bond together as I lead. I delegate responsibility and work around the household and we all chip in together to gain stable satisfaction around the home. At the workplace is quite similar I am a director of Food services but empathize a team behavioral working status. My team members and I work together building the sales and the commitment to customer service. I delegate authority and responsibility; I

with my work and can work well with others. I feel like I can balance my

I have not had many leadership roles because I do not seek them. That said the few roles I have had have always been particularly important. I have worked in the Registrar’s Office for Mrs.

This week’s assignment started by directing us to complete a self-assessment, which I felt was a well laid out chart with established skills and a level in which to rate yourself from 1 being poor up to 5 being good. I think it was a good exercise, giving us a better insight to our strengths and weaknesses. I do in fact think that I learned something new about myself and could more easily answer the question of “tell me your strengths and weaknesses”, which is often asked at interviews or promotion boards.

the personality assessment and reflection assignment in the FYE 105 class helped to put my personality traits, and type into perspective with the given definitions and examples throughout the project. I discovered that my personality type was “the Defender”, and my top strengths are being loyal, hardworking, practical, and supportive. Conversely, my top weaknesses are taking things to personally, overloading myself, repressing my feelings, and being shy. With this information in my “mental toolbox” I will be able to focus on and utilize my strengths to ensure success while at the same time working to build up my weaknesses and reduce their impact. Having this information and consistently working to improve myself by utilizing what I have learned about my personality will allow me to align individual and professional goals in a productive way to achieve my career pathway, and personal

I occupy my time in clubs and activities that both captivate my interest and are most important for my peers and me. These include but are not limited to my positions in Link Crew, Student Council, and Senior Board. They range from Senior Class Representative to Vice President. Many of my teachers and mentors have identified a characteristic of mine as a great leader, and I wanted to improve on these skills. I don't dominate discussion or action, I simply guide it. I take all of my positions seriously and always bring my best attitude; my leadership methods distinguish me from other

I take a great deal of control and usually the first to step up in a situation to benefit the safety of everyone

The indie hit Short Term 12 is a film about scars, external and internal caused by those closest. The unassuming title of the drama refers to a foster care facility, set somewhere in Los Angeles. It houses troubled teenagers that are between court dates or foster families. These kids can be there for sometimes a week or sometimes years, many living in a state of limbo. These are kids who have experienced more in their life than some its supervisors, most who are not much older the kids. It is a master piece about broken people

Eventually to my great surprise I was asked to be a station captain, and I felt like that awkward thing once more; here I was an undergraduate student that would be responsible for instructing and supervising volunteers a good number of which were already veterinary students, although new to Operation Catnip. It seemed an intimidating task, but I recalled how others had helped me and strove to be the best leader I could. For me, leadership is less about title and more based on the ability to influence others with your passion, inspire and motivate others to perform together and to the best of their abilities by recognizing the unique qualities of each person, open to suggestions and learning, and perhaps most rewarding, laying the foundation from which others can build upon and then stepping aside to let them

Generally, a leader will either be given a leadership role, or will create one. For instance, I frequently volunteer at a nature center in my community. Because I possess the leadership qualities mentioned earlier, I have become someone who people approach with questions and for direction. In effect, I have been assigned a leadership role which I had not been

I agree with people who say movies aren’t based on real life experience, but I am pretty sure producers have specific messages to tell their audience. Movies might be long and time taking, but when there is free time to spend why not lay back and watch a good movie? Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite movies of all time, Tokyo Drift.

Action-packed and highly-rated, Mad Max: Fury Road is a critically-acclaimed film about a journey of survival through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There is no doubt that post-apocalyptic films are becoming increasingly popular among audiences as seen with movies such as the Hunger Games. However, Leggatt (2012) describes another variation in the post-apocalyptic genre, one that has been dubbed post-9/11 after a string of patterns prevalent in some post-apocalyptic films. Leggatt’s definition of post-9/11 apocalyptic films are ones that have a pessimistic tone towards the future of a society. As the world evolves and progresses, many new issues overlap and outgrow previous issues that have plagued the world before - though this transgression, the film industry follows suit in order to invent stories and media that is thought-provoking and relevant to changing society. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is a film that encapsulates many elements of Leggatt’s post 9/11 apocalypse film genre through the apocalyptic setting, derailment of redemption, and societal obsession with apocalypse over utopia.

The movie Gran Torino, is an American film directed by Clint Eastwood, who also stars as the main character. The movie was set in Highland Park, Michigan which was a nearby suburb of Detroit. In prior years, Highland Park was populated by white families that had come to the area to work in the Ford car factories, but over time, “the damn chinks” moved into the neighborhood as Walt Kowalski would say. This show was the first American film to show Hmong Americans, which were war refugees that had resettled in the U.S. following the communist takeover of Laos in 1975 (Yuen). The main character, Clint Eastwood is a widowed Korean War veteran who often shows bursts of racism and anger towards people of different race, especially the Asian immigrants in his neighborhood. His neighbor, Thao Vang Lor, a young Hmong teenager becomes a key character in the movie after he gets pressured into stealing Walt’s 1972 Gran Torino in an attempt to be initiated into a Hmong gang in which his cousin is involved with. While attempting to steal the car, Walt catches Thao and is sure to prove a point that he is not going to take any slack from him and or the Hmong gang members.
