The Club

Social power is expressed in the way different people relate to each other, or in ‘social dynamics’. An example of social power in the film is when the ‘white’ team captain, Gerry Bertier took the advice of his fellow teammate and ‘black’ team captain when he disciplined one of his team members for not defending adequately.

One of the strongest characteristics associated with Australian cinema is the language, the Australian cinema has an upper hand being that the spoken language is English. This establishes Australia in the mainstream language majority. Although Australia has an impact on an international level and has an extremely iconic accent, on one hand this works in benefit being that the market for Australian language is demanding whereas on the other hand the Australian slang/lingo is extremely hard to understand and interpret, it is also very hard to translate without losing its comedic

Club IT is a night club that Rueben Keys and Lisa Tejada have put together, to provide some high quality entertainment for everyone to enjoy, especially their adult friends. The mission statement for Club It is “We, Ruben and Lisa, offer you live music, DJ’s, dance space, and refreshments that suit your lifestyle. You are our friends, and we seek to build a community that meets regularly at Club IT.” (R. Kelly Rainer & Turban, 2009) What Rueben and Lisa have done is take a 6000 square foot location, remodeled it to accommodate a 600 square foot dance floor, seating for 220 people, four wells and bar, a kitchen

J.C.: it’s an important part of Australian language and culture and is the reason behind the use of such vernacular. For instance the inclusion of teenage slang, swearing and references to teenager idioms such as “lazy prick”, “stupid wanker”, and “arvo”, I believe would allow me to speak directly to the target audience which is teenagers, and in some way shape the audience's attitudes and ideas towards the events faced in the novel. I thought using Aussie teenage lingo would be more relatable. Also I feel that authenticity is added to the text through the voices of each of the different characters. They are all modern Australian teenagers and to use another voice and different lingo would serve as an injustice to the characters telling their

Without a doubt, our language usage is becoming increasingly casual. Some argue that this is due to the influence of American culture. While it is not pervasive, the assimilation of American culture in Australia can be partly responsible for this trend. However, the predominant reason for our informal language use is due to increasing connectivity through social media and other modern communication services. Despite this trend, the register of discourses is still dictated by the context and setting of the situation.

During the late 80’s, Phil Alden Robinson developed a sensational story that revolved around a real life account of a sport tragedy. The viewers were immersed in a touching account of how sport, a social interest, can play a powerful role in human bonding; thus becoming a very spiritual component of life. It in itself has a profound effect on the societies’ spiritual experiences; and just like religion can respectfully be considered a form of spirituality for a modern society, as exemplified in Robinson’s movie ‘Field of Dreams’. This story resonates far beyond the power of dreams, its appeal lies in a vision of a perfect sport and the love for which can inadvertently resolve issues no matter how grand. The plot at first

By definition, “power” in this context refers “to the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behaviour of others or the course of events.” (The Oxford English Dictionary.  11th ed. 2008. Print.) I will be investigating the theme of ‘power’ in the film ‘Cats & Dogs’ (2001), specifically the scene where Mr Tinkles has a meeting with his employees. There are many factors which demonstrates the idea of power within the relationship the characters have including other features such as wealth, social class and hierarchy. I used these ideas as inspiration towards the narrative of Coursework 1, a short comic I created titled ‘Cookies House Adventures’. Where the cat gets the dog in trouble hoping she would be kicked out of the house. I

Finally, people receive power over others socially. Higher social classes give people the supremacy to control another person. These factors were portrayed in the play while people had the power of others. Power is established and used in multiple ways. These three factors impact who rules and controls

There are many different accounts of power. Which is the most persuasive, and why? The way power exists within the fabric of our communities is obvious, yet hard to define. Multiple interpretations have been made, none that are neither correct nor incorrect, however act as a representation in an attempt provide an understanding of its role, nature and framework in which it exists.

Overall, I think that the theme of power is mainly presented through characters and their actions. The Inspector seems to be an extremely powerful character and I think that a lot of audience members would be influenced by his powerful speeches as Eric and Sheila Birling

Nowadays, about 375 million people are native English speakers and more then half of them live in the United States. Also, five more countries use English as their first launguage including the United Kingdom,Canada,Australia,Ireland, and New Zealand. Because English is so widely spoken, there are major varieties of English, such as British English, North American English, Australian English, South African English and New Zealand English (R. Nordquist). In my research paper, I would like to talk about Australian English and it’s slang.

Most people have fewer hours to give to time-consuming activities of clubs than they used to have, but most people in small town belong to club or two. On of clubs is likely to be social and benevolent organization, such as rotary or elks. Business people are likely to belong, also to either Kiwanis club or lions. Such business people’s organizations may meet as often as once a week in one of the private dining rooms of town’s leading hotel for lunch. They have good lunch, hear good program, and continue their fundraising program for worthy organization, such a local

Slang terms have been a prominent part of society for many years. Slang terms have also changed from generation to generation. This paper will discuss some common slang terms and see if there is a significant difference between the generations. Two hypotheses were used for this research project. The reason that there are two is explained in the paper.

Rem Koolhaas was born in 1944 at Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In the early years, he worked as a script and a reporter. From 1968 to 1972 he switched to study architecture at the London Architecture Association School. In 1975, Koolhaas and his co-authors created the OMA.

Manchester United Football Club is a prestigious English club, based in Old Trafford, Manchester, owned by the Glazer Family through the Red Football parent company. The football club, formed in 1878, was fist known as Newton Heath LYR Football Club, a works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot in Newton Heath. In 1902 it changed its name to Manchester United Football Club, after being saved from bankruptcy by John Henry Davies. In 1892 the club went on separate paths from the railway company and became a private ownership till 1990. In 1991 MANU PLC was put on the stock market and it wasn 't till 1998 when the club received an takeover bid from BSkyB corporation, at a total of 0.623 billion pounds the offer was rejected by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission in mid 1999. The next impasse was knocking at the door and soon after a disagreement between Sir Alex Ferguson and his partners, J.P. McManus and John Magnier made the board of MANU PLC to search for new investors to reduce the influence of that time 's shareholders. In 2003 Malcolm Glazer started the takeover of the company with Red Football LTD; till June 2005, when, after a takeover bid Glazer had 98% of the shareholdings - the rest of the 2% were sold on the stock market. Therefore the final total price of the club was estimated at around 0.8 billion pounds.
