Critical reflection

In my video I attempted to look at the phenomenon of gamification through a learning perspective. I deliberately decided not to make too much of an emphasis on academic learning because I wanted to frame everything in a way that would reflect our daily experiences. After all, every day we learn something new, and it does not necessarily happen consciously all the time. How successfully you are able to learn has a lot to do with your ability to concentrate. This is the issue I have devoted the introduction in the video to. I made the shots just a ...

Romero tells similar stories in his first zombie film Night of the Living Dead (1968) and his two later films Day of the Dead (1985) and Diary of the Dead (2007). But the approach Romero uses in each film varies. ‘The Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘The Day of the Dead’ use a standard movie narrative while Diary of the Dead incorporates found footage or point of view (POV) techniques popularized by The Blair Witch Project and used to varying success in films such as Quarantine, Area 5.1, and Cloverdale. Romero uses this technique to criticize the prevalence of ...

During the post-World War II era, with the rise of the Cold War and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, America itself began to fear the atom. With nuclear bombs already having been used to end World War II, the public realized that humanity had the potential to destroy the entire world with the push of a button. To that end, the United States government did everything it could to try to assuage the fears of a rightfully-worried public about the threat of nuclear destruction. Through the use of playful animation, propaganda films, and the futile strategies of fallout shelters, it is ...

McDonaldization is a term utilized by sociologist George Ritzer within his book, The McDonaldization of Society (1993). He clarifies that it is showed when a society adopts the attributes of a fast-food restaurant. McDonaldization is a re-conceptualization of legitimization, or moving from customary to judicious modes of thought, and experimental management. Where Max Weber utilized the model of the organization to speak to the direction of this evolving public opinion, Ritzer sees the fast-food trend as having turn into a more illustrative contemporary standard.
In contemporary public opinion, the idea of McDonaldization is picking up consideration in diverse perspectives, for example, culture. McDonaldization ...

Introduction:

This paper seeks to examine the film Triumph des Willens (1935) which was a Nazi propaganda film produced by Leni Riefenstahl. This paper seeks to show that the film portrays Hitler and Nazi’s as strong movements that would unify Germany and help Germany redeem the power that Germany had lost after its loss in World War 1.

In The History of the Devil, the idea of Satan as a philosophical and psychological figure throughout history is examined, in a History Channel-documentary style program that demonstrates the new direction for these kinds of televised documentaries. The filmmakers present an extremely slick and sensational documentary with this film, offering many different interviews, powerful narration by a haunting British voice, and many moving illustrations that are dynamic and provocative. The beginning title splash card involves a ...

And Its Impact on the United States

Introduction

The entire subcontinent of the Middle East would have a very different history and outlook if it were not for very unfortunate events that have taken place in the area over thousands of years. There is plenty of wealth to go around, plenty of trade opportunities with the rest of the world, as well as a great potential for a tourist market. Unfortunately, “the cradle of civilization” is in a constant state of unrest that has precipitated over gigantic wars that have left a lasting impact on the area. In fact, war ...

Global security issues have forced many countries all over the world to focus into their security plans and programs in order to continue keeping their people safe. Along with the traditional methods already being implemented, technology has offered more opportunities to further improve the system. However, a closer look at how people in authority are doing things now pushes one to take a step back and rethink what these measures are for. This same sentiment is the crust of Wendy Kaminer’s article titled ”Trading Liberty for Illusions,” published on Chapter 4, pages 397-399, of the book Writing in ...

Documentary films have intrigued the film critics and audience alike with the sheer quintessence of portrayal and textual value. There can be no denial of the fact that documentary films intrigue the audience with the truth and the audio-visual portrayal of occurrences and things that need documentation. One can take into consideration the documentary films, Restrepo directed by Sebastian Junger and First Cousin Once Removed directed by Alan Berliner so as to comprehend the intricacy of portrayal and the differences between the treatments to the subjects by the respective documentary filmmakers. A close introspection of the matter would enable ...

Art is a universal language. Music, as a part of art, is also a language that crosses cultural and ethnic boundaries and connects different people through expressive and receptive communication. Some psychologists distinguish a kind of language called “subconscious”: understanding of the word’s meaning without speaking the language initially. After watching A night in 67, I understood that my subconsciousness can determine words, phrases and even whole sentences. Disregarding the fact that I was not very well aware of Brazilian culture, I still was able to enjoy the music, let myself get absorbed into the atmosphere of this musical documentary and ...

In the war against the Iraqi insurgents, the Pentagon introduced the new policy of journalist embedding amongst the American soldiers. This, they claimed, was an effort to get rid of the past tendency of mishandling and mistreatment of media personnel and to provide the direct footage of what really happens in the battle field. The role of media is thereby seen as largely to shape and influence the public opinion or perception of the war, or the international community’s view of the humaneness of the war. The pentagon claimed it was in order to show the factual happenings ...

In the 2006 documentary Jesus Camp, directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady point their cameras at the Kids on Fire School of Ministry, a Missouri-based charismatic evangelical Christian camp for children. The purpose of the documentary is simply to show the goings-on of the children and the camp itself, attempting to be fair and objective in its leanings. There is little to no commentary on the actions of the church leaders or the kids themselves, simply showing the footage as is. That being said, this objective viewpoint demonstrates the ugliness and insularity that belies charismatic Christians and the Bible Belt’ ...

African Americans have suffered from police brutality in the United States since time in memorial. It is disheartening to see unarmed African Americans suffer in the hands of white police with many either sustaining serious unimaginable injuries or even in extreme cases losing their lives. It is quite unclear how racial discrimination continues to haunt even the new century with more fatalities recorded in the civilized era where governments have enacted policies to protect each person from all sort of discrimination.
Police brutality is and has been an increasingly notorious act of discrimination of the colored skin people, mostly ...

One of the candidates from the Democratic Party running for president is Bernie Sanders. When opening his website berniesanders.com, it takes to the landing page, at which Bernie asks his supporters to donate to his campaign.

Publicity Campaign Proposal

Animal Rights: Publicity Campaign Proposal
Considering the vast amount of stereotypes developed around animal rights activism, it seems that animal rights advocacy has been successful with their campaigning in that it has gained widespread attention. That being said, not all tactics used in animal rights campaigning is effective. Since negative stereotypes continue to plague animal rights advocacy, there should be a better way to educate the public without alienating certain members of the public. For example, calling meat eaters murderers is not an effective means of gaining sympathy towards animals, but showing footage of animal abuse at meat-packing factories ...

It used to be so easy. For tens of thousands of years, humans used wood-burning fire to heat their dwellings, to cook their food, to forge simple tools. Tens of thousands of years before that, human’s ancestors harnessed the power of fire, giving them a hunting advantage over other animals. Then, the population started to increase, especially after the Plague had ravaged much of the world’s population. Wood became scarce, especially in places of dense population, such as England. The increasing rarity of the resource made the demand for another source of energy greater than the demand ...

The government has tried to harness control over what is released over the internet in the past, and it’s a battle that they’ve quickly lost, at least when it comes to video and live coverage. For example, it is now pretty common to take video of a police officer trying to detain a person who they believe committed a crime. The case of Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson Missouri is one of the earlier instances in which eyewitnesses actually recorded the activity with their phones, and posted it online afterwards. The news quickly went viral, before ...

Released in 1977, Chantal Akerman’s “News from Home” offers a vision of New York as experienced by a newcomer. The filmmaker used raw footage of New York locations in order to realize her documentary film. She narrated the film by herself, using letters that her mother sent her over the course of several years in order to personalize her work. The voice-over narration she employs however has no correspondence to the images, being used simply in order to personalize and enrich her view of the city. The film is not easy to watch, due to the distractions created ...

Introduction

Business ethics is a set of principles or values that regulate the actions and conduct of employees in an organization (Marcoux, 2008).

Differences in gender and, more aptly, gender stereotypes, exist in all manner of advertisement. Sometimes they are blatant and impossible to ignore. Other times, as is the case with the Samsung 840 EVO SSD advertisement, the stereotypes shown between men and women are elusive and delicate. They are sometimes completely veiled behind the excitement of a new product and the frustration of a slow computer. The characters are a stay-at-home mom with no obligations other than household chores, and two men, one a student and the other a professional. Both have vast knowledge about computers. Regardless of how well ...

The Boston Marathon is one of the oldest running marathons in United States history. Many people participate in the race which was established in the memory of two battles in history that started what we know now as the revolutionary war. In 2013 this marathon ran as scheduled however, at the end of the marathon something happened that would change the history of the event as we know it. As the marathon concluded and racers reached the finish line two explosions were detonated which resulted in the injury of 260 people and the death of three others. The bombing ...

There is no doubt that reality television shows are watched by many people because of the fact that such shows are marketed as unscripted. Although reality TV shows may not be scripted, they are heavily edited and in that respect, they lose their authenticity. Raw footage is taken to graphic designers and editors, who in turn filter and control what the viewers see (Biltereyst, n.d). Consequently, reality television shows distort reality in the sense that content is not presented honestly and in context.
Reality television shows of cops are not very different from fictional shows of cops. In fictional ...

The Michael Moore documentary Bowling for Columbine describes in detail the ideological standpoint of gun control advocacy, using Moore’s specific use of editorial and filmmaking strategies to speak about the problems that Moore sees with the nation’s attitude toward crime, guns and capitalism in the wake of the Columbine shootings. Bowling for Columbine uses many different methods to demonstrate his perspective on these issues, using the Columbine shooting as a jumping-off point to discuss the media, America’s gun culture, and more. However, in the process, Moore finds himself committing many logical and rhetorical fallacies, intentionally obfuscating the ...

Introduction

People around the globe are distinguishable because of tradition, culture, appearance, and color. Hundreds or thousands of years ago, people are divided with these distinguishes. However, exploration leads to discovery and many people from different parts of the world started to travel from one place to another. This then leads to mixing from one race to another but people often have different distinctions that gave them difficulties in mingling to another group. Pilgrimage made a nation so powerful like the United States of America but it also gave grief and pain to those subjects of slavery back then. Amendments after ...

The child soldiers of Uganda-- introduced in the documentary discussed within this essay as “invisible children”--live vastly different lives than those of their counterparts in other parts of the world. These children have their childhood stolen from them, forced to take up the cause of the adults around them rather than growing up and slowly becoming adults. In Africa, high volumes of tribal and racial violence are a result of years of colonialism and the power vacuums that were left when colonial forces abandoned their colonies in Africa; the violence in Uganda and Sierra Leone is a direct result of ...

Introduction

The Hunger Games is the new global teen phenomenon. A previous image of successful film franchises such as Millennium, Twilight or Harry Potter, this is the adaptation of a bestseller, in this case of the American writer Suzanne Collins. The film, which is the third biggest opening of the story revolves around a television program which requires a group of teenagers to kill themselves (Hubbard 1293–1295). Its strong violent content, some critics have described as a cross between The Lord of the Flies and the slaughter of Columbine-has raised hackles among parents, but did not prevent teenagers from forming queues in all major ...
