Far out in the chilling temperatures and climate of the Atlantic Ocean, where the creations of mother nature bring out the best and worst of human nature, a ship of prodigious size and feet sets the stage for a maxim that defines the actions of humans. The 1997 film, Titanic, it is shown greatly on how true love can affect someone. A girl named Rose who is depressed meets this spontaneous character named Jack. Jack and Rose are from very different worlds and of opposite social classes. They both are voyaging on the Titanic in which is where they meet and where Jack gives her his all to save her in every way possible. In his film Titanic, James Cameron uses the elements of a damsel in distress along with the hero throughout the film to convey that we as humans can conquer fear with true love because love provides us with comfort and the feel of safety when fear takes that away.

By the ending of the 19th Century, the qualities of industrialization of the United States were visually obvious. It had become a wealthy, powerful, and important nation, an inspiration among the other countries of the world. But there was a large price to pay for this growth which involved human suffering, and it was only beginning to be realized at that point. The Working conditions during this time were often inhumane; immigrant families engaged in cigar manufacturing, and they lived and worked in overcrowded, foul-smelling tenements. Factories and mines were designed with very minimal concern for worker’s health and safety. Workers worked extremely hard for hours at the bare minimum of wages, and they lacked practically any compensation
Did you know that the Titanic, Britannic and the Olympic are all sister ships? The ships were all supposed to be unsinkable. Two of them sank shortly after they were built. The Titanic sank on its first voyage. The Britannic sank on its 6th voyage. This happened on November 21, 1916.
In the movie Casablanca, directed by Michael Curtiz, two different kinds of love are exposed. The love relationship between Ilsa Lund and Rick is a more passionate relationship while the one between Ilsa and Victor Laszlo is more intimate. Love is composed of different feelings and because of that it can be expressed, as seen in Casablanca, in different ways. “The Intimate Relationship Mind”, a text by Garth J. O. Fletcher and Megan Stenswick, helps support that claim providing a scientific background on how love is shaped by those different feelings. It says that “love is composed of three distinct and basic components that each represent evolved adaptations; namely, intimacy, commitment,
The authors describe values as “a system of ideas, attitudes, and beliefs about the worth of an entity or concept that consciously and unconsciously bind together the members of a family in a common culture” (Friedman, Bowden, & Jones, 2003, p.353). The story of The Notebook shows the enduring power of love. There were many setbacks that got into Noah and Allie’s way, but despite of it all, they still ended up together. Even when Allie was diagnosed with dementia and couldn’t recognized her family and Noah, that did not stop Noah from loving her.

In the beginning of the story, Jack Thayer was having a calm night and she gladly said “Everywhere Jack looked, he saw signs of a changing world. New electric lights made the world brighter. Motorcars and steam engines made the world faster. Breakthrough in science made the world safer. The Titanic was a symbol of all these changes.” That made me feel how Jack felt about the Titanic. It made him feel that Jack felt safe on
The story of the Lovings is one fraught with social change. The Lovings were the mixed-race couple that brought their case to the Supreme Court and legalized interracial marriage throughout the U.S. While not described explicitly within the film, the social change that the case brought about was sizable– legalizing interracial marriage was a huge step towards racial equality. While even today, racial equality has not yet been achieved, the social change that has occurred from the time of this film to modern day is drastic. This becomes evident in the street interviews with the people in the film, The Loving Story, a documentary that follows the historic court case of the Lovings, compared to modern vocalizations of racism, which are much
