“12 O’clock high” is a classic movie of the Hollywood Golden Era. This movie is shown as an example of leadership, courage and a real male friendship. It focuses exclusively on the principle of command and leadership and could be used as a tool for commanders.

1). What message does the movie deliver regarding regulation versus “free markets”? Do you think this message is appropriate?
The message that the movie is driving home is that the free market is a hub of corruption. The movie also points out that regulation is necessary to wipe out dishonest tendencies. Throughout the echelons of history, research has shown that markets operate well when there are no regulations. Markets should be self-regulatory to the extent that the principles of demand and supply should take courses. When markets are regulated, it makes it possible for other forces to invade ...

The Joy Luck Club (1993) was based on Amy Tan’s 1989 novel and deals with issues of culture, assimilation and generation conflicts between a group of four Chinese mothers and their Americanized daughters. All four women in the club had emigrated from China to the U.S. after World War II, and met after church to play Chinese mahjong every week. In reality, they had little joy or luck, and no expectations, only the hope that their children would have better lives than theirs. By the Confucian standards which the mothers learned from childhood, there were very definite differences in ...

Religion is important in the sense that it promotes discipline and focus among the people. Religion is an important aspect of human life as it gives them a sense of belonging and provides answers to many of the lives questions.

This hence gives people a reason to face another day with the full confidence that all their activities are being accounted. It also instills discipline, which is necessary for interaction and peace in the community. Religion can therefore be considered to be a unifying ...

I think that the film provides a well-detailed and comprehensive analysis of the causes of the global financial crisis. Ferguson says that at a figure of $20 trillion, the financial crisis almost lead to another great depression akin to the 1929 depression. There is a global connection to the crisis that spans geography. The crisis extends from the United States, China, France, Singapore, Iceland and England. Ferguson uses research from politicians, journalists, scholars and financial insiders to present a mind-blowing assessment of the financial crisis. Ferguson’s documentary the Inside Job is an accurate depiction of the causes of the financial meltdown that ...

1) What are your own views and beliefs about the facts presented in The Big Short? Make a list of the basic principles of “right and wrong” that you believe to be true about markets. What might lead you to change your views?
I think that The Big Short’s attempt at simplifying complex phenomenon and developments in the U. S. economy should be lauded. The movie captured an integral part of the cause of the financial crisis which is greed and apathy. I believe Wall Street gambled with the future of not just Americans and the world, and, ...

This film dramatized the American economic collapse of 2008. The collapse, and the subsequent "government bailout", was precipitated by a number of factors.

Travis Hirshi wrote the classic work on social control theory, Causes of Delinquency in 1969. Numerous studies of juvenile delinquents over the last forty years have confirmed Hirschi’s views that such youths do feel detached from society and conventional morality, and have a weak attachment to family, friends and school. Poverty, segregation and racism are the ...
