I believe that this action packed blockbuster that gave Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar is boring. I believe this not because it has a poor scenery or bad acting, the acting is phenomenal and the scenery and special effects are very detailed and

2 The story takes place during ww2 from 1939 to 1945. Most of the story takes place at Los Alamos, where the bomb is being built, but ocassionally it takes the point of view of Norwegian saboteurs in Norway and Soviet spies. Without the setting it would be very confusing. It can also help set the mood and theme for the story.

A"After the end of World War II, the world was split into two -- East and West. This marked the beginning of the era called the Cold War" The Cold War was a war based on ideologies. The United States of America representing freedom and democracy and Russia representing order and socialism. These separated ideals is what started the deadliest competition in history, where both sides gathered intelligence on how other side was progressing and used that information as leverage against the other, this is known as Espionage. Espionage by definition is “The practice of spying or of using spies, typically by governments to obtain political and military information”. This documentary will uncover the phenomenon of the cold war that is more

When someone tells a person what to do the person receiving the request rarely questions carrying out what is asked of him or the validity of the requester. Obedience to authority is encountered almost everyday whether in the classroom or in the workplace. Throughout the engaging plot, the 2004 action movie, The Bourne Supremacy explores topics such as the legitimacy of authority and obeying those in charge that are also investigated in the articles “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem” by Jonah Lehrer and “The Power Trip” by Erich Fromm. Towards the beginning of the film an exchange that was going down in Berlin, Germany in effort to uncover some files concerning stolen Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) funds goes terribly

The movie is set in the beginning in Brooklynn, New York. A prominent tax attorney is approached by other top attorneys to help defend a suspected Russia spy. The prominent tax attorney name is James Donovan. Tom Hanks play a ruthless lawyer who will stop at nothing to keep the law on his side and to help someone who he believes in one thing justice. Tom Hanks might believe that he is indeed a Russia spy, but he also believes that he was just doing his stop and why should a guy like that get the death penalty. He went on to say what present does this set if we executed a spy for doing what his country asked. The first, shapelier half depicts Donovan's attempts to bring "the rule of law" to his futile defense of Abel. Abel is accused of crimes

The Bridge of Spies is based from a true event that took place in 1957 New York and East Germany. The movie follows the story line of Rudolf Abel, James Donovan, and Francis Powers. As trouble arises for all three of them, they must work to sort it out. Rudolf Abel is an accused spy hired by the Soviet Union- although this is never confirmed.

Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.

From his childhood during Korean War to his second election as the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Ki-moon Ban has demonstrated the leadership of resiliency, with which he was able to turn crisis into opportunities for his success. Moreover, Mr. Ban’s diligence, sincerity and warm-heartedness also contributed greatly to his rise, along with high performance capability. With such recognition, Mr. Ban successfully expanded his political network (both in Korea and in the organization of US) with apparent sincerity, great communication skill and sharp sociopolitical awareness. During the course of this paper, our group (“We”) will analyze and discuss how Mr. Ki-moon Ban used various situational conflicts as an opportunity to

Jeremy Bentham is generally considered the father of Utilitarianism. As a doctrine that seeks to maximize pleasure and minimize pain, Utilitarian thinkers, including Bentham, would approve of any organization or set of practices that have the tendency to do so. The United Nations is such an organization. Bentham firmly believed world governance was possible, at least under his utilitarian system (Pitts 212). “The community is a fictitious body, composed of the individual persons who are considered as constituting as it were its members,” (Bentham 1823, 586). In this quote Bentham refers to how single communities are merely collections of individuals. Since the distinctions between individuals are arbitrary the only objective grouping of people is to include the entire world population. As Bentham saw borders as imagined, he would approve of the coming together of humanity that the United Nations fosters. With its border-crossing initiatives of conflict resolution and humanitarian aid, the United Nations is a source of good in the modern world and one that Bentham would endorse if he were here to do so, albeit with some concerns and recommendations.
