The show I choose was “Shots Fired.” This show is about justice, murder, lawyers, racial profiling, law enforcement, and corruption. A black female investigator named Ashe Akino played by Sanaa Lathan and a black male Special Prosecutor named Preston Terry played by Stephan James are both investigating two murders with the same identifiers together. The first case is regarding a white unarmed white teen murdered by a black officer. The second case is involves the murder of a black teen cause by a white officer.
In this episode, it starts out with the whole task force, knocking on every door in Gate Station, a small town within North Carolina, because one of their lieutenants was gunned down in front of his house. Ashe return to the scene after
The scene that I will be discussing for this paper is called “He’s a spy” from the movie Young Guns. In this scene, Billy and his gang are confronted by Murphy’s men. With the mise-en-scene, this helps the viewer identify that the time period being portrayed here is the late 1870’s or the early 1880’s. The mise-en-scene being used for this movie is important in telling the story from a different era as in today’s world, no one dresses this way anymore. Also to include from this scene is the lighting. I will attempt to give an explicit description of the use of the lighting and the sun and how the cinematographer designed for the use of it. Furthermore, I will also discuss the people that are directly involved with the making of Young Guns, the director, the production designer and the art director and their roles and responsibilities.

“The President Has Been Shot!”: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy,Is Making the Hit Title of Historical Non-Fiction
The article from “South Writ Large” that I decided to read was titled “There’s Been a Shooting… Again” by Brooke Baldwin. This Non-fiction article is the first person account of what news reporter Brooke Baldwin has to go through on her daily job. The constant agony of people telling her what to say or the ironically calm way she has to simply say, “Another person dead, a teenage girl kidnapped,” this is her reality. Her job is never ending, the news is always happening, and sadly, she has to continue on as if she isn’t outraged just like us.
In “Who Shot Johnny” by Debra Dickerson, Dickerson recounts the shooting of her 17 year old nephew, Johnny. She traces the outline of her life, while establishing a creditable perception upon herself. In first person point of view, Dickerson describes the events that took place after the shooting, and how those events connected to her way of living. In the essay, she uses the shooting of her nephew to omit the relationship between the African American society, and the stereotypic African American society.
After closely analyzing Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th, my eyes were opened as to how black people feel vs. the way white people may feel about the criminal justice system and the unfair treatment of African Americans. I was honestly disappointed with both sides because of the way the race card is used to justify our actions towards one another.
1.The 2 Senators that represent California in the U.S. Senate are two Democratic women, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.
haps the most productive response to this madness was from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), who used the opportunity of yet another high-profile shooting to point out that the nation’s gun laws, and those in his state, are deeply irrational. We don’t yet know where Mr. Flanagan got the weapon used to gun down Ms. Parker and Mr. Ward. We certainly don’t know if the gun-control measures that Mr. McAuliffe or other would-be reformers favor would have prevented Wednesday’s deadly attack. But it doesn’t matter. Tragedies such as these remind us of the easy, brutal efficiency that guns bring to the business of killing.
“The American Sniper” by Chris Kyle is an account of the deadliest American sniper ever, called “the devil” by the enemies he hunted and “the legend” by his Navy SEAL brothers. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyle's kills (the previous American record was 109). Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Kyle presents the gripping and unforgettable accounts of
In many ways, adversity is the leading factor for change. People, animals, and things often alter their shape or ideas to fit with their surroundings. Usually, those surroundings include one driving factor that forces the change: struggles or difficulty. This idea poses the question, in what way do people deal with adversity? The books The Call of the Wild, by Jack London, and The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli, along with the article “What Does It Take to ‘Assimilate’ to America?” by Laila Lalami, carry a common theme: it is not just change that helps people deal with adversity, but adaptation. Change is the simple act of becoming different, whereas adaptation is the act of changing oneself to fit in one’s environment. Adversity, however
North and the women from Love and Sex in China, because none of those ladies were real detectives they just happened to do detective things well. We didn’t talk about Jessica Fletcher much but Blomkvist reminded me of her because she was a detective that wrote books and he was a journalist/detective who wrote for
When I was younger, I would say that NCIS was my favorite show. Obviously because it brought me to the decision I wanted to be involved in forensics when I got older. Now I find myself interested
The poem 'Shooting Stars' by Carol Ann Duffy tells a shocking story of a female prisoner held by Nazis in a concentration camp around the time of the Holocaust. The poem is set in 1940, Hitler and his Nazi party had taken control of most of Europe and had vowed to exterminate the entire Jewish race. Duffy's haunting use of imagery and word choice make this poem so memorable and its very strong opening prepares the reader for the rest of the poem.
Australian early childhood setting is composed of diverse people and diversity is growing everyday. Diversity means not only referring to people’s race and culture but it also denotes languages, practices, religions, values, abilities, gender and any aspects that makes people diverse from other people (Saffigna, Franklin, Church & Tayler, n.d.) It is vital for the early educators to be culturally aware and competent, as it will help children and families to have a positive start to school and it will help children to develop a strong sense of identity. Valuing diversity in curriculum is to respect and reflect individual’s practice, culture and beliefs (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relation (DEEWR), 2009). However, culturally
It is my belief that the criminal justice systems portrayal in the media as racially bias. With the many shows that offer an insight to what law enforcement must endure in the apprehension and conviction of criminal some see as entertaining while other this the opposite. When you have news shows like Nancy Grace, who for the most part was a good prosecutor and this comes through in her commits. However, in order to increase their rating many of the shows will put the greatest emphasis on subjects that are lighting rods for controversy, and currently it happens to be race.
