Through Rudy’s life, he had always been told that pursuing his dream of playing in the Notre Dame football team would only cause him disappointment. However, evident through the entire movie, Rudy’s full desire helped him to overcome any struggles that came into his way. He faced all the challenges that he encountered and achieved his goal. Determination and perseverance led in to Rudy’s success in despite

6. Lack of Remorse or Guilt: (2) Aileen never felt guilty toward her victims. In the movie, she mentioned that “people kill each and other everyday” for religion and politics, and “there are heroes”. She could not stop killing because she felt that she had to kill people who could rape her to avoid them to rape somebody else. If she had not been caught, she would kill more people. At the end of the movie, after she was convicted, she still considered that the judge sentenced “a right woman to death”.

Pleasantville is a movie where significant change occurs based on the theories of social change. In the movie, the TV show Pleasantville is set in the 1950’s and everything and everyone in that show is in black and white. And being that they’re set in the 1950’s the have the same outdated morals, values and beliefs that are associated with 1950’s culture. However, the town of Pleasantville slowly but surely turns into colour when they go against their societal norms and beliefs and have sex, read, paint, express emotions and many other things. Pleasantville portrays a town that is ready and is in need of social change and how social changes are required for humanity to progress. One could say that the colour changes in Pleasantville are viewed as a bad thing because it would mean that you broke a societal value or norm in Pleasantville where everything is always perfect. However, David and Jennifer prove to the locals that the colour change is anything but bad and how it allows them to express every facet of their minds and not be stuck in the same roles and routines day in and day out. These sociological, anthropological and psychological changes are needed when trying to move forward as a society and Jennifer and David have helped Pleasantville expand their horizons.

The film Ordinary People tells the story of a family in which one of 2 sons dies in a boating accident. The guilt-ridden brother attempt to take his own life out of survivor’s guilt. Rather than facing the issues as a family, the family avoids the subject and tries to carry on as normal. That is, until the past catches up with them. Much of the aftermath issues the family face could have been avoided using conflict management skills and communication. The mother, Beth Jarrett, avoids any conversation involving her son’s death and her other son’s attempted suicide. Conrad, the suicidal son, copes by shutting off all of his emotions and becomes violent and blames himself for the incident involving his brother rather than going through the usual grieving process. The husband, Calvin, tried to face the issue, but buckled under the pressures of his family and got swallowed up in the turmoils of neglecting the problem.

Within the film A Better Life there are many examples of situations that are seen as subjects which many people do not openly talk about. Circumstances such as illegal immigration and how people who do chose to enter the United States through backdoor channels can actually be a benefit to society and raise productive members of society. Furthermore, the movie depicts an illegal, Carlos Galindo and his struggles of maintaining a job, being a single parent, and at the same time evading detection from United States immigration officers. This struggle of trying to provide for his son Luis and make sure he maintains the correct direction which he is following to be a successful member of society is plagued by Luis’s friend, Facundo and his girlfriend, Ruthie Valdez. Both of Luis’s friends are on the track of being stuck inside of a Hispanic gang. This rips Luis in half due to his proper upbringing by his father Carlos. This paper will document multiple occurrences from the film and analyze the cultural significance for each event.

Self Confident-. A measure of one's belief in one's own abilities. Each character portrayed this characteristic, with Beowulf it was when he went to war with Grendel without any armor on. “I would rather not use a weapon if I knew another way to grapple/ with the dragon and make good boast/ as I did against Grendal in the days gone by.”(“Beowulf” 33) This

The film Pleasantville shows the changes in American society over the past 50 years by placing two teenagers into the Pleasantville show, which was from the 50’s. The movie depicts how there is no longer the “American Dream” and no longer a perfect way of life and the changes the world has made. The world that the teenagers come from is filled with sex, drugs, money, and is very different from the way the world was in which the Pleasantville Show took place in. Morals and values have changed in the people and in society that the teenagers came from and shows it would be impossible to return back to the kind of life style the world had in the 50’s.

The movie “Crash” is a very thought provoking movie about the underlying racial tensions in our society. It represented black, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern ethnicities and the stereotypes associated with each. The character I will be analyzing is Officer Ryan who is played by Matt Dillon. Ryan is a middle-aged police officer in Las Angeles, California who has been with the force for 17 years. He appears to be extremely racist in his multiple encounters with African Americans.

Being self-confident, believe in one’s self is very important. Millions of people fail to live their life they always wished to live. They fail to realise their ambitions and give up on their dreams as soon as they encounter their first obstacle. One of the strongest cause of it is because they fail to believe themselves. Believing in yourself is all about being sure that you are going to do whatever you want, even the others are against you. Usually , when you decide to take big challenge or to do something that

The film The Mask You Live In was written, filmed and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. It was released on January 25, 2015 at the premiere of the Sundance Film Festival. Jennifer also released a similar film called Miss Representation, a film about what the expectations of a woman were according to the media. According to the film, using hyper-masculinity among boys and young men through parental teachings and social expectations in the United States negatively affects them psychologically as it affects their way of decision-making and become more isolated throughout their lives. I firmly agree with Newsom’s message she was trying to send out to her intended audience, the parents and our society at large communicated through statistics shown as title sequences and the testimonies coming from boys and men who were once at-risk.
