The archetypal hero’s journey has taken many forms throughout history; in contemporary film, it often requires the main characters to step outside their cynical, grounded physical worlds and enter new realms of imagination.

HOW A PERSON CARRIES ON WITH LIFE AFTER ACCEPTING THE IRRETRIEVABLE LOSS OF THEIR DREAMS

Film Studies
Life in the U.K. has changed drastically for many people during my lifetime. I have been observing people passing me on the streets and riding the Underground with me. I have used my inner camera’s eyes to try to see and understand them more clearly. I realized that I cared about people who were looking into the future knowing their lives would not bring them the satisfaction of reaching their dreams and life goals. Circumstances seem to have broken them and I wonder if lack of fulfilment and their disappointments fog their vision and decisions. ...

effect of stereotypes in society?
Stereotyping from a sociological perspective is a social construction derived from a thought pertaining to a group of individuals with specific social characteristics, which can be linked to certain behavior types (Cox, Abramson, Devine & Hollon, 2012). Often there is no or very little accuracy linking the perceptions people or individuals may obtain regarding others for whom the stereotyping is alluded. When stereotyping is viewed from a psychological premise scientists argue that it emerges from prejudice and discrimination, basically. Therefore, in reality if stereotyping were to be associated with one’s social conditions there may be insufficient evidence for ...

Since the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre, Hollywood film directors have been responding in a myriad of ways. There have been numerous post-September 11 Hollywood films that seeks to offer a more realistic reflective of Arabs and the Muslim community in general, for instance, the film Babel (2006) depicts Arabs as normal, simple human beings with commonplace problems and similar identifiable worries. On the other hand, Hollywood action movies such as The Kingdom (2007), largely focuses on FBI agents hunting for terrorist in Saudi Arabia in connection with bombing of some of the American diplomats.

One of the main problems schools deal with these days is bullying.

The definitions of bullying can vary from one perspective to another,; however, it has beenwas defined as the “intentional, unprovoked abuse of power by one or more children to inflict pain or cause harm/distress to another child on repeated occasions” [4, p.345].

Bullying in schools is not a new phenomenon but is an activity that has been in existence for ages. A good proportion of students and adults have accounts of their experiences with bullying or have witnessed their peers bullied in what a turned out to be a serious problem in the society with variant detrimental effects that range from emotional effects to negative effects on a student’s academic performance. Teens between the age of 13 and 19 year are perhaps the greatest users of the technology, particularly the internet.

Earth’s quickly changing climate is a hot topic today. Among the young and old, the issue is debated passionately as individuals argue whether it is even happening and why. The Some believe climate change is still up for debate, the history surrounding the issue proves the Earth’s environment is, indeed, changing, and humans may be the only cause to blame. The CO2 emissions and various forms of pollution have been observed for years. While many attempt to correct what we have done to the planet, others speculate it may be too late to repair the damage we ...

Introduction

Society dictates that people, in general, should always look good where the definition of looking good means an individual is skinny, slim, or someone who maintains a healthy weight. This thinking has influenced the youths of today to adapt the same philosophy and opinions that they apply to themselves as well as to others when it comes to defining beauty, confidence, body image, body satisfaction, and self-esteem, among others. Tiggemann and Pickering (1996) assert that mass media contribute to the formation of opinions about what an ideal woman looks like, thus, affecting how the younger generation view the subject as ...

Aggressive Behavior Influence by Media Violence

Listening to news these days, it is easy to notice that there has been an increase in teenage violent behaviors, which has led me to conclude that the increase in media violence has a hand in the aggressive behaviors of teenagers. Recently, the topic of aggression and aggressiveness became widely discussed at various levels. In addition, among psychologists, there are held many conferences, symposia on the topic. The problem of studying aggression became the subject of many studies. There has been an increase in mass school shootings, drive by shootings, rape and senseless killings of teenagers. An example of some ...

Women in Media

The media is arguably the most powerful and pervasive influence on society’s perception of men and women. The media has a constant presence in the modern society through advertisements, news and programs that have become part of our daily lives. Media messages are ingrained in our consciousness where they influence our perception of many issues including gender roles and expectations. This paper postulates that the media is responsible for propagating unrealistic stereotypes about women. While men are also affected by these stereotypes, it is women who are underrepresented, overly sexualized and portrayed in traditional gender roles that are not ...

Objectionable material is a publication expresses, depicts, and describes issues that have to deal with horror, sex, cruelty, crime, or violence. Objectionable occurs when the publication is likely to be injurious to the general public. This implies that all the objectionable material has been banned from use and spreading to the general public (Jacob, 1999). There are a number of factors used to determine whether a publication is objectionable and whether it should be restricted or not. The consideration is given to the point in which the publication deals with acts of torture caused by inflicting physical harm on ...

Introduction

Islam is currently portrayed as an intensely violent religion, which is against the western values. The obsession of mainstream media in tinged with the negative portrayal of Muslims and depicts them as fanatical, bigoted, violent, or as terrorists and extremists. Media also calls out against the intentions of Muslims all over the world and infers that they support the fanatical cause of terror organizations (Espiritu, 2016). The media coverage of Islam and related issues changed dramatically after the events of 9/11. The terrorist activity brought Islam to the forefront of media attention. Since then, the media coverage of Islam ...

Analysis

As noted in the introduction, the author of this report is not trying to sway anyone’s minds when it comes to whether global warming exists or not. Based on the totality of what is coming out in the press and the science community, the planet probably is warming and humans are probably at least a small (if not a major) factor in all of the above. However, some of the talking heads, “scientists”, politicians and other people in the global warming/climate paradigm are acting extremely suspiciously and/or in an obtuse or irresponsible way. The author of this report is happy ...

Introduction

Tracing back to the 4th century BCE, emotion in art was highly valued and praised by illustrious people such as Aristotle, the Greek philosopher. During romanticism and expressionism, free expression of own emotions became a rule among most artists. Turning to the modern art, individual emotions, as point of the existence of human beings, are generally considered the breath of art creation. Among most, if not all, students of art, it is popular to follow their true and real feelings to work. However, by doing this, they are apt to produce some strange creative works with a prejudice, which can be ...

Army recruiters have continued to strategize on how to maximize recruitment of officers from the public. However, majority of their target group is high school students who have completed and graduated with a diploma. In fact, they went ahead to create a database with all the personal information of individuals aged between 16 – 25 years. This may imply intrusion of privacy of their target groups, most of which are high school students and a few who have graduated. This even went over board when the 2002 act of “No child left behind” was passed. The act required that all beneficiaries of federal ...
