The film “Juvies” really made me think about how the criminal justice system treats young children. Before watching the film, I was under the impression that children were treated fairly and with care when they commit a crime. After all, they are just kids. However, to my surprise, this was not the case. Many children have been cheated by the law because they are put through the adult system and are not given a fair trial. Meanwhile, these children are expected to make the rational decisions that an adult would make. There is biological evidence that kids do not have the ability to control impulsive behavior because their brains are underdeveloped. Thus, I believe this system is extremely unfair because children are not protected in adult prisons, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed once they are released back into the free world.

The movie “Wit” is a great educational tool for healthcare professionals in terms of dealing with terminally ill patients. It teaches that nurses and medical professionals should always remember that their patients are not a case nor illness nor experiment but rather human beings with souls and pains. Palliative care is one of the most disputed issues of worldwide importance. While bureaucrats in different countries are making laws on the use of palliative drugs, patients with excruciating pains learn how to “take deep breaths and be strong” (Nichols & Brokaw, 2001). That is what nurse Susie Monahan from “Wit” advises her dying patient Vivian Bearing suffering from unbearable pains due to stage IV ovarian cancer after eight painful rounds

Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.

She viewed Vivian as a patient fighting for her life, not just as an experiment like her doctors did. Susie helps Vivian with a major decision, if she wants a DNR, which is do not resuscitate. Her nurse even stood up for Vivian and her wishes by not allowing the doctors to revive her when her heart stopped. Susie exclaimed, “She’s DNR! She’s NO CODE!” (Edson 82). Susie had to fight against Jason and the entire team of doctors. This proved her loyalty toward Vivian and is also considered a turning point for Susie after being a follower of the doctors. She is now seen as a leader and she took control. Susie finally stood up for herself after being tired of constantly being used and pushed around by Jason and the rest of the staff. Friedrich writes in his article that “[nurses] are also the ones who temper the enthusiasm of the doctors, keep expectations realistic, and make sure patients are protected.” (Friedrich) Susie does just this in her role in the play, going above and beyond for her patient,

In the movie, See What I’m Saying, there are three Deaf men and one Hard of Hearing women. Their names are: Robert DeMayo, TL Forsberg. Bob Hiltermann and C.J Jones. Through out the movie, each person shows us a glimpse of their lives and what they have to deal with on a daily basis. See What I’m Saying shines a light on the oppressive behaviors within the performing arts industry and within mainstream media, and how these four individuals must navigate through their lives as performing artist.

Based on Margaret Edson play, the 2001 film “Wit” is regarding an english professor Dr. Vivian Bearing who is specialized in the study of John Donne’s Holy Sonnets. Dr. Bearing is diagnosed with stage four metastatic ovarian cancer and agrees to undergo an antagonistic experimental treatment. In the processes of her treatment she quotes a famous line from the Holy Sonnet by John Donne “…and death shall be no more, death thou shalt die!”(Wit, 2001). Dr. Bearing’s anguish in not only her bodily pain but the treatment has a great strain on her mental health. In the course of her treatment, Dr. Bearing monitors her experience at the hospital and point out that she simply became a test subject for research and not a patient. The film deals with

The Play Wit is a movie based on a play about a woman named Vivian Bearing whose life changed when she is told she has Stage IV ovarian cancer. All through the movie, one is presented with examples of health psychology and treatment of terminal illness. Three main themes stand out in the Wit are patient provider communication, death and caregiving.

The movie “Wit” introduces us to a seventeenth-century English/poetry professor Vivian Bearing, who was diagnosed with metastatic stage IV ovarian cancer. Vivian is a special patient with a deadly diagnosis, and who is interesting for doctors due to the possibility of using new treatments. Problem with it was Vivian diagnosis was severe and she agreed to undergo tests, more experimental treatment, and more pain. We see Vivian suffering and absence of friends and family, personally, it was really hard to see that the only person who takes care of her was one of the nurses on staff. This was an emotional story of Vivian which at times I smiled, cried and felt angry towards some of the medical staff and disease.

I found this movie interesting because I agree with what the film implied on how the universal constant about being a patient is vulnerability and loss of control. In the movie Wit, you get to see another side of the medical profession that shows disregard for medical humanities. The film tells the story of an intellectual, Vivian Bearing, being diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, the treatment, and how she is stripped of her personal and professional status in the name of being a patient. A major theme of this film is its portrayal of the human condition in a state of dependency and need by chronicling Vivian's experimental treatment through first-person narrative, the film allows the viewers a peek into the world of a patient suffering

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

There are many different types of film and film genres. A film can fit into more than one genre, but there are some genres that are more general than others. Some examples of film genre are animated, science fiction, documentary, comedy, and historical fiction. Within each genre, there are also specific characteristics that help support themes and story lines within that genre.
