Roger Spottiswoode’s film And the Band Played On, based on the book of the same name by Randy Shilts, is a tremendous drama that touches on many distinct issues that were present at the time of the discovery of the AIDS virus, as well as the curious resistance medical and disease experts experienced from affected populations, the government and even other medical professionals. Chiefly following a team of researchers at the CDC, led by Don Francis (Matthew Modine) and William Darrow (Richard Masur), the film follows the attempts of this organization and others to track the spread of the disease, ...

It is an American documentary film directed by David France in 2012. It is heartrending piece of filmmaking. The film covers the AIDS pandemic from its beginnings. It explores the societal norms that stimulated the spread of the pandemic and the continuous loss of innocent lives. Outrageously, it exposes the social prejudice held about the disease and the sterling discrimination that people affected by the disease were subjected to. France, the director, says that he knew that all that people were doing was historical, and many people will continue to die out of it if no action is taken. ...

The video on HIPAA Regulations discusses some general instructions on how patients’ private information should be treated. I totally agree that the duties of any health care facility worker go far beyond the time spent with the patient, and keeping their private information safe and confidential is not less important than providing medical care itself. That is why to my mind enforcing the HIPAA Rules was very reasonable and necessary move. In short, HIPAA Law protects any health information of people using medical services and allows patients themselves to access this information and use it in a way they want. ...

Social, Political and Economic Factors in the Film

The social, political and economic aspects on which the film is based paints a picture of misfortune, disadvantage and neglect of the helpless by those who are in authority. Similarly, it as well paints a picture of discrimination and inhumane treatment of the less fortunate in the society. Healthcare workers are mean to patients and unfeeling or uncaring to patients especially the unfortunate ones who had no health insurance or access to medical cover.
The film is also reminiscent of an American society that cannot be able to afford the rising cost of healthcare in the country. It also details ...

Introduction

The understanding of mental health issues is impacted significantly by the images portrayed in various sources such as printed media, news media, film and drama as well as real-life experiences.

The story is told from the perspective of de Havilland, a young writer who is taken to Juniper Hill State mental facility by her husband (The snake pit, 1948). One of ...

Introduction

Although decades of numerous incarnations have slightly diminished the stature of the vampire, the horror, seductiveness and mystery associated with it remains. Over the years, several themes have been associated with the vampires depicted in various films. The dominant metaphorical representations have been animal appetite, sex, evil and venereal disease. In F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, the vampire, unlike those in similar films, is unattractive and ghastly yet the fascination that grips those around him is remarkably disturbing. In this context, several metaphors emerge. This paper presents the metaphoric functions of the vampire in the film Nosferatu.

Introduction:

The United States Agency for International Development and the World Bank hosted a debate concerning the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The debate had the following proposition “Behavior change in generalized epidemics has not reduced new HIV infections and is an unwise use of HIV prevention resources.” Panelists supporting the proposal had a number of reasons that they presented. They argued that the individuals carrying out behavior change implementation had not done a thorough evaluation of their work. For this reason, there are many unknowns in this strategy. For instance, scholars involved have not been able to come up with a behavior change model. Such a model ...

Movie Review

The documentary film opens with a very strong statement from President Barack Obama who says that “health reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year” (Palfreman). People cannot pay their medical bills, others cannot access some forms of treatment and others are losing their insurance cover “when they most need it”. The film explores what it is like to be Sick in America. The worsening economy has led to massive job losses and this forces many Americans to do without health insurance. In short, the nation’s health care system is broken. A case is ...

In reflecting upon the movie And the band played on, one of the most curious issues is that of the title its self given that the film is about what one character in the course of the dialogue adequately states as “This is not a political issue, this is health issue.” (Spottiswoode) As such, the quote indicates that the film is indeed about a serious health issue rather than a study of popular music culture.

In this case the writer considers that the title of film taken from the book of the same name represents the concept that throughout the story seemingly ...

The video, Big Bucks, Big Pharma, really went into detail about how the shift of approach on how drugs are marketed has led to a very compromising involvement of the pharmaceutical companies, well beyond just marketing, but into every aspect, from initial drug development and throughout the entire process. Pharmaceutical companies has become a major influencing force in how people view even the most minor of issues into major ailments that need to be treated, all for the sake of profits. Even natural character traits, such as shyness has been distorted into “social anxiety disorder” that can be treated with a prescription. ...

HealthSouth Corporation is located in Birmingham, Alabama and it is the largest operator of the inpatient hospitals. Their business model incorporates three major businesses: rehabilitation, hospitals and surgery. Lower cost and the atmosphere, which reminds a spa rather than a medical institution, made HealthSouth one of the most successful companies in Alabama already in the first few years of its existence. However, the outstanding performance of the company was not always supported by the actual success. Today Aaron Beam, co-founder and former CFO of HealthSouth, remembers the time, when he was forced to falsify accounting reports in order to meet performance ...

1(a). Individuals who are in job can be considered lucky in United States. For the employees, their company provides the health insurance and for big companies like Microsoft, employees do not have to pay their premium even. Such individuals get access to medical care and health care coverage. However, every employee or every working individual can’t be considered lucky as the small businesses are usually not able to cover the whole medical costs of their employees. Hence, individuals working for large corporations are the luckiest in terms of health coverage in United States.

Analysis of John Stossel video: Free Market Medicine

Abstract

John Stossel argues that free market medical care is the solution to America’s healthcare. He is opposed to the government intervention in the provision of medical care which to the citizen seems free but in the long run not sustainable. The paper also evaluates the changes that have been done and those that could be improved to solve some of the healthcare problems. The affordable care act has some insurance companies especially those that specialized in child-only insurance leave the business due to the mandatory requirement to provide cover to ...

In the documentary film, “Fed Up,” there is a frightening look inside America’s health crisis involving obesity. The lack of real food in American diets is to blame.

It would be hard to prevent people from using methamphetamine, used to treat common cold, cough and allergies, as a drug. As they are easily available with druggists, anyone can walk into a drug store and order medicines for common cold that contains methamphetamine. If the views of some of the meth users are to be considered seriously, the spread of a potential epidemic could dwarf the Black Death. The movie, The Meth Epidemic reinstates our fear that the easy access to dangerous drugs is taking the country into a dark oblivion. This is because this film portrays a realistic picture of an issue ...

Autism is a disease that begins to show signs in early childhood and continues throughout the individual’s life. There are wide arrays of signs, symptoms, and behaviors that can be seen among those who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which can make proper diagnosis challenging at times. To better understand the complex nature of ASD, several videos are observed and correlated with the diagnosis criteria from the American Psychological Association’s DSM-V. The following six videos each display a variety of autistic individuals of various ages that show the different symptoms common to ASD.

Her dad, on the uncommon events when he shows up, grabs the chance to assault her. These fierce considerations brought about her bearing him a kid when she was twelve; as the film starts, she is pregnant with another. The principal infant has Down disorder and is named "Mongo" ("short for 'mongoloid,'"); to her favorable luck, the young lady lives with Precious' grandma, aside from when Mary quickly imports her to ...

The Aviator is the story of Howard Hughes, a brilliant but afflicted filmmaker who fights Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) successfully to pursue his ambition of filmmaking and his passion for aviation. The movie starts with a young nine-year old Hughes being bathed by his mother, while being told that ‘he is not safe’ from outbreaks of flu, a line which seemingly becomes his leitmotif later in life.

At 22, Hughes inherits his family business of aviation tools and is directing his maiden film Hell’s Angels. It is perhaps an early influence of the onset of OCD that Hughes becomes obsessively compulsed ...

It is starred by Ken Harrison who was involved in an accident and had to be admitted to hospital. Owing to his deteriorated quadriplegic condition, he sued to be allowed to end his life. The premise for this position was the fact that he could no longer pursue his passion of creating art and he could not make love.

Asian horror, as a genre, carries with it a generous mix of scathing subtext and grotesque images. Whether witnessing the wrath of an uncanny ghost girl, seeing people murdered in mountains of gore, or the many subtle avenues in between, many of the best Asian horror films combine shocking sights with potent messages in order to convey an anxiety present in that society at the time. "Setting aside the moral ramifications of such manifest extremities, we can identify the current boom enjoyed by Asian horror and extreme cinema and discern a complex nexus of local, regional and global relationships in play" (Choi ...

The documentary, “Forks Over Knives” makes a compelling case in advocating for consumption of plant-based foods. It heavily criticizes animal-based foods and calls for its total elimination from our dietary consumption. It makes a convincing argument that most of the world’s chronic diseases could be averted by strictly following a vegetable or whole foods diet. In my opinion, a plant-based diet is healthier than processed foods. However, I disagree with the claim that animal-based foods ought to be banished from our meals. The human body needs animal-based foods such as omega 3and free-range eggs.
As seen in fork ...

The 1970s was a decade of the public’s disappointment with the government and its policies, domestic and foreign, social and economic. It was the time of counterculture and various movements and protests that followed the example of the civil rights movement. The most important topics for the American people were the distrust for the government after the long-lasting Vietnam War that weakened not only the United States, whose economic situation was already devastating, but other countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia and their neighbors; the Watergate scandal that made Americans doubt that the county is in fact a democratic one, the state ...

Released in 1980, the film relates the story of Joseph Carey Merrick, the real-life figure who was born with a horrible deformity and had to deal with issues of humanity and discrimination in 19th century London. Through the use of compelling performances, assured and minimalistic direction, and a stark, Victorian Gothic aesthetic, director David Lynch forces the horrors and sadness of deformity onto the audience in a way that leaves the viewer tear choked with sadness and sympathy. Most people who watch the film are touched in a way that ...

First, “no quality is more indispensable to a policeman than a perfect command of temper; a quiet, determined manner has more effect than violent action.” Second, “The securing and training of proper persons is at the root of efficiency.” This review will apply these principles in the context of law enforcer management and training.

The following analysis of Persona and Solaris reveals how movies from unlike countries and of different genres portray the development of opposite human personalities while losing or gaining humanity under the external influences and internal self-recognition. The attempts to create a fine movie about internal and external of human life do not often impress much, especially nowadays when we experience an endless flow of visual images. Probably, it inspires people to look back at the classic works that not only represent the unusual transformations in the forms of self but also produce extraordinary rhythms in the scenes (Tarkovsky 113). ...

This essay deals with the notion of death and dying in the movie, where protagonists prove to be more than ordinary people who would probably succumb to the pressure of knowing that their last days are numbered. Instead, they face death head on and follow their bucket list, with items that need to be done in order for them to believe that they have led truly fulfilled lives. In the end, however, they figure out that for this, they did not need fancy dinners and exotic trips, rather what they needed was beside them all along: family and friends; ...

Careful examination of a person’s behavior can sometimes be the most challenging part. People may not open up about what they are going through or what they are experiencing. It is upon an individual who has proper counseling skills to look at a person and come up with the correct diagnosis of the problem in question. Not all the time would one come up with the correct diagnosis, but the essence is to develop a plan of action with respect to the disability of the individual. The movie ‘Towelhead’ provides a challenge of conceptualization (Ball, 2008). The movie provides a broad converse over ...

Christians have been the radicals at the forefront of the abortion debate that has undoubtedly raged on in a sea of opinions for ages. People are differently opinioned when it comes to the sensitive subject that ignites a lot of medical, moral, and legal debates. The Christians still maintain a negative force towards abortion, which they identify as being against the doctrines of biblical teachings and morality. Christians maintain that an abortion amounts to the murder of an innocent person, and cite this together with other immorality arguments. In a country like the USA today, half of the pregnancies formed, especially among young ...

And The Band Played On is a documentary about the AIDS epidemic that is based on the book. The book (and the movie itself) has an interesting title and I think it means that no matter what the circumstances, everybody just kept going on as usual, like nothing was wrong. AIDS is a widespread epidemic and I don’t think enough is taught about the history and prevalence of it.
Before the movie, my knowledge of the history of AIDS was few and far between. My knowledge of AIDS before watching this movie was very little. We did not learn ...

1. The fundamental idea of the documentary film "Through a Blue Lens" is to send a powerful message and raise awareness of risks and dangers of drug abuse and, consequently, to prevent people from abusing drugs and similar substances. The first example supporting this hypothesis is the scene in the beginning of the film where a police demonstrates consequences of drug abuse to a class of young students. Another example is that the film incorporates a real footage shot of drug addicts in the Vancouver's downtown and demonstrates the facts and realia of life in the streets. The third ...

Deming applied his statistical approach and assured them to implement the changes recommended so that they could totally turn around their earlier issues within next five years (Deming Institute 1). Adhering to his simple notions and unconventional approach, the Japanese came ...
