Movie crash

The film that had an impact on me was the movie Crash.   This Oscar-winning movie written and directed by Paul Haggis showed so many lessons about life that are important.   The movie demonstrated the need for empathy in this world.   No matter what color or sex or size, people need to show more empathy to one another.     But this movie is also about the anger and frustration that we carry around with us everyday as well.   Living in the modern day world is tough, but we need to find better ways to relate to each other.   As Robert Jensen says, â€Å"We all carry around racial/ethnic baggage that’s packed with unfair stereotypes, long-stewing grievances, raw anger and crazy fears.   Even when we think we have made progress, we find ourselves caught in frustratingly complex racial webs from which we can’t seem to get untangled† (Jensen). No matter where we are from around the world, the point remains that we need to find better ways to get along.   Not just with those from other places and backgrounds but with those next to us who deserve better.     This idea of â€Å"It ´s the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We ´re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.† means that we need more relating and touch and understanding from the people around us.   This idea of being able to relate to each other and get along is shown over and over again in this movie One example of the theme of getting along are the characters of Rick and Jean (Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock), a rich white couple.   Rick is a DA who tries to remain unprejudiced, but the viewer feels like he is all about image so he can be re-elected.   Nothing â€Å"real† seems to come from him, and the viewer suspects that he is having an affair with his white co-worker.   Jean, on the other hand, is all real.   She is increidibly prejudiced against the Hispanic locksmith who comes to the house.   She very clearly tells her husband exactly what she thinks. â€Å"I would like the locks changed again in the morning. And you know   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   what, you might mention that next time we'd appreciate it if they didn't   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   send a gang member†¦Ã¢â‚¬  She is a mean person, and she has this one memorable quote.   She is talking with a so-called friend on the phone and she begins to explain the way she feels, â€Å" I am angry all the time†¦ and I don't know why† (Crash).   The viewer wonders how many others feel this way.   Jean has supposedly everyone that anyone would want.   She has lots of money and a rich and important husband.   She can do anetying she wants, but she has nobody in her life. If a woman like this is angry all the time, what can that say for the rest of us? She berates and chastises everyone due to her own unhappiness, and I believe that may just be the general state of the world.   And at one point, she tells her maid that she is indeed her best friend.   This is the maid who has taken her to the hospital after she has fallen down the stairs; her friends were too busy.   We need to find ways to connect with each other and make our lieves more fulfilling, so that we can have relationships with other people. That is the lesson that Jean teaches in the film.   the old adage that money cannot buy happiness is shown again.   Meaningful people in our lives bring happiness. Another character who displayed the importance of relationships, and was the opposite of Jean’s character was the Latino locksmith Daniel (Michael Pena).   By first glance this man did not have half of what Jean’s character did.   He was just a working-class guy trying to make a living.   However, when we catch a glimpse of him at home with his family, our take is altogether different.   The viewer sees him under the covers with his daughter telling her a sotyr about the invisible cloak and being a dad and a family man.   His story is plauful and fun, not just matter of fact. â€Å"She had these little stubby wings, like she could've glued them on, you know, like I'm gonna believe she's a fairy. So she said, â€Å"I'll prove it.† So she reaches into her backpack and pulls out this invisible cloak and she ties it around my neck. And she tells me that it's impenetrable. You know   what impenetrable means? It means nothing can go through it. No bullets, nothing. She told me that if I wore it, nothing would hurt me. And I did. And my whole life, I never got shot, stabbed, nothing. I mean, how weird   is that?† (Crash). He enjoys his time with his daughter, like tucking her in at night.   It seems that he is good at his job, but he works to live rather than lives to work.   he lloves his wife and his daughter, and the viewer cringes at the idea of something horrible happening in this family.   The scene where Daniel’s daughter almost gets shot is one of the most tense of the film.   This man, while he does not have money or status, shows the viewer what life is all about.   he forms meaningful connections in life, and these are what sustain him. And there is another character who seems to be in the middle, between Jean and Daniel in his ability or lack of ability to form relationships.   This is officer Ryan.   While he is a racist cop and does some terrible things in this movie, he is also a human being as evidenced by the scenes with his father.   Because of his powerlessness at home, he is able to commit horrible atrocities at work and yet, turn around and do something entirely redeeming.   His sense of powerlessness is because his father may have cancer, but their HMO prevents them from using a different doctor. His father is having prostate trouble, and the viewer sees the two of them together at night in the bathroom.   The humiliation in these scenes is overwhelming, and the love between father and son is clearly shown.   But Officer Ryan takes all that out on those around him.   He tries to appeal to the caseworker Shaniqua, but he still insults her by lashing out about affirmative action.   In the end, she cannot form a connection with him, and she honestly anwers his pleas with, â€Å"Your father sounds like a good man. And if he'd come in here today I probably would have approved his request. But he didn't come in, you did. And for his sake, that's a real shame.† We can’t really blame Shaniqua for not wanting to help him, but the viewer wishes that she would.   Again and again we are shown what happens when we lack compassion and empathy for others and do not form relationships. The title itself and the opening quote implies that we are too busy with our own lives to get to know others, but that many of our preconceived notions or prejudices would be gone if only we would take the time.   This applies for people from all walks of life.   If rich people never do things where they come into contact with different types of people, the preconceived notions will continue to exist.   The other lesson here is that everyone has a story and a reason for acting the way they do.   If human beings could just take the time to learn about toehrs, we could at least begin to understand why they act the way they do.   Crash does a phenomenal job of showing us these things without preaching.

Oedipus the Everything but King

No Name World Literature 1 Character Analysis â€Å"Oedipus the King†Ã¢â‚¬ ¦ Hunter, Plowman, and Sailor-Helmsman Throughout the play â€Å"Oedipus Rex†, the main character Oedipus has a number of different character traits throughout the play. His out-look on the stories situation evolves as he begins to learn the truth about who he really is. Oedipus takes on the characteristics of a hunter as well as becoming the hunted; he is a sower yet also the seed, and a sailor-helmsman of the city. Each of these images has their own significance.Oedipus first starts out as the hunter once he marries the queen of Thebes. Once betrothed, Oedipus is told that, Laius, the late king of Thebes was murdered by a robber. Oedipus says that he will exile or execute Laius’ killer once he is found. The irony to his statement is that he will have to catch and exile himself because in actuality he is the man who killed Laius. Oedipus then goes from being the hunter to the hunted, not knowing the man he is looking for is actually him himself.He proceeds to tell his men to â€Å"Hunt him down with all your strength† but in essence he’s telling his men to hunt him which makes him the hunted. Oedipus asks Tiresias to speak on behalf of what he knows and when he does not this upsets him. Oedipus begins to mock Tiresias about the fact that he cannot â€Å"see† and in return Tiresias says the same thing to Oedipus. Tiresias is blind but he is the one who sees Oedipus’ future clearly and Oedipus is not and can’t see what his future holds at all.In mocking Tiresias, Oedipus reaps the consequences of his actions because he later takes his own sight. Oedipus is also considered a sower because he married and had children; however he is his mother’s seed and ironically he married and reproduced with his mother. By definition plowman prepare the fields with seeds and expect plants to be produced. Oedipus and widowed Queen Jocasta marr y, are intimate and reproduce children.The imagery is the same for Jocasta and her first husband King Laius as that for her second husband, Oedipus: like father, like son as it turns out. The Sailor-helmsman is in essence is the person who guides a ship. Oedipus being king of Thebes is supposed to steer the people out of harm’s way. Oedipus thought that he was doing the right thing by leaving the place he thought was home when he was told he would kill his father and marry his mother; only the thing was the parents he knew of in Corinth were not his actual parents.After Oedipus leaves Corinth, because of all that he has done he has brought a plague amongst his city, the city of Thebes. â€Å"The citizens are passengers of the ship watching as their captain and his vessel fall to pieces†. All of these images were ironically tied into showing the positives and negatives that contributed to Oedipus’ demise. However, this was not all Oedipus’ fault because so mewhere down the family line Oedipus’ family was cursed and he had nothing to do with it, he was just the one who would complete the curse which leads to his undoing.

Sociology Is The Systematic Study Of Human Society

Sociology is defined in many different ways by many different people; more commonly, â€Å"sociology is the systematic study of human society† (Macionis). Human society is made up of different categories or patterns in subjects such as race, gender, income, etc. More than half the time, people go on about their lives without realizing any of this. Sociology is like a sub-conscience; it guides us and teaches us about the world we live in and the choices we make, even without directly thinking about it. Not only does it provide insight to the choices we do make, but also choices we do not make. We live in a world where sociology is everywhere and in everything we experience, with certain differences between cultures, norms, and values. It allows us to understand how larger social forces influence us personally. We learn all of this, starting with a sociological perspective. A sociological perspective is â€Å"seeing the general in the particular† and â€Å"seeing the s trange in the familiar† (Macionis). Supporting the fact that everyone is their own individual self, and unique at that, there are certain categories in which people fit into, shaping our lives. Through social perception, culture, media, education, family, laws, and communities, society is influencing us. Our lives are what they are whether you decide to be in a certain category or not. Some choices that we do not make are the country that we are born into, the language we are born into, our family structures, names,Show MoreRelatedSociology : How Human Action And Consciousness Shape The Surrounding Of Cultural And Social Culture1734 Words   |  7 PagesZygmunt Bauman once said, â€Å"The task for sociology is to come to the help of the individual.

What Should Cynthia Mitchell Do - 893 Words

The following sections will help to generate alternative solutions to discuss what Cynthia should do regarding Steve’s case, whether it is ever right to discriminate against individuals for their own goods, and whether it is a manager’s obligation sometimes to violate against their personal ethics to make decisions. What Should Cynthia Mitchell Do? In other words, should she terminate Steve? Should she have placed him in this position to begin with? (Humphreys, 2009.) First of all, Steve’s performances steadily declined for an obvious reason that a majority of customers who refused to work with an African-American representative. Apparently, the customers exhibited racial preferences when they preferred to work with people of their own races.

Role of Driving Ambition Essay Example For Students

Role of Driving Ambition Essay Soliloquies in the play, Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, have been greatly applauded for their aesthetic and creative meanings. In this particular part of the scene, Act 2 scene 1, lines 31-64, Lady Macbeth has convinced her husband to murder duncan. However on the way to the king’s chamber, Macbeth spots a dagger before him. In this passage, Shakespeare amplifies the usage of literary devices in Macbeth’s soliloquy, to display the after effect when ambitious thoughts are causing one to carry out a malevolent deed. Shakespeare highlights the changes in ones mind as ambitious thoughts consume their morals, ideals and judgement ability through the motif of hallucination. Upon seeing a floating dagger whilst walking towards Duncan’s chamber, Macbeth shouts, â€Å"Is this a dagger which I see before me,/the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.† (2.1.33-34) Hallucination in the passage foreshadows that Macbeth is closer than ever before in accomplishing his deeds. Macbeth always had doubts about fulfilling his deeds due to the consequences, however, Macbeth is now as ready as ever. As he approaches the king, he sees a false creation in his mind, which is manifesting itself into a delusional reflection of his own self thoughts. Macbeth desires to physically â€Å"clutch† the dagger, indicating his willingness to murder Duncan, but conversely he knows that he will. Also, the hallucination foreshadows all the gory deeds he will embark on from this point. The dagger is l eading him to betray and murder the king with blood stains. It foretells that he will be venturing a bloody course of events in the future. The motif of hallucination recurs in the play to remind the audience of the possible changes in one’s mind if ambitious thoughts conquers all that is just. Shakespeare warns that even those that are most loyal can turn false-hearted, if ambition consumes the decision makings that are ethical. Metaphor plays a colossal role in portraying how ambition can lead one’s mind to go vile which would affect their lives permanently. After seeing the dagger, Macbeth says, â€Å"A dagger of the mind, a false creation,/proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?† (2.1.38-39). The metaphor of â€Å"dagger of the mind† in this case, like mentioned before, is guilt and doubt. Macbeth claims that that the dagger is a false imagination. Also, the definition of heat-oppressed, in Shakespeare language, means feverish. The literal meaning of fever is a symptom of a disease, and this disease serves as a metaphor, where fever symbolizes a state of intense emotion. The metaphor for disease can be viewed as his ambitions, because his ambitious activities give him heightened sentiments. Shakespeare utilizes the literary device of metaphor to convey a strong message to the audience: ambitious thoughts could ultimately lead to ones infection by this disease, affecting their lives drastically Macbeth’s dark imagery created by Shakespeare in the play helps the audience acknowledge the change in one’s loyalty, and form amiss curse. The quote, â€Å"Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse† (2.1.50) begins the setting using dark imagery. Macbeth claims that â€Å"Nature seems dead†, as he believes nature has been reversed by his actions. It is unnatural for one to murder someone that is god appointed, and as Macbeth is planning to do so, he feels that his mind has been corrupted and all of things that are natural seems reversed to him.

Qantas has already been utilizing several different concern tools for selling, scrutinizing and planning and besides bring forthing consequences expeditiously. If farther utilised good Qantas can do it a competitory border for the company and an effectual manner to fulfill the clients. MOST IMPORTANT MACRO-ENVIRONMENT FACTORS IN QANTAS Macro environment factors that are act uponing the Qantas Airlines include Political, Economic, Societal, Technological, Environmental and Legal factors. All these factors are really critical for the success of Qantas. Political factors like Australian political relations and the province Torahs are traveling to act upon the tendencies of the company and the net income devising would Torahs be disturbed if the revenue enhancement policies changes from the governmental governments. So Qantas has to concentrate over such schemes really carefully and it has to be prepared for such alterations because they are out of control of the company. Social factors like altering tendencies among clients, debut of new tendencies in the society and altering similitude and disfavor of people are all such factors that should be prepared and should be decided in schemes ( Kain, and Webb, 2003 ) . Technological factors are altering twenty-four hours by twenty-four hours and therefore this would hold bee n a biggest challenge for Qantas to get the better of such challenges and get by up with all new technological betterments go oning twenty-four hours by twenty-four hours. Particularly it has to be really strong in Research and Development so that every coming engineering comes foremost in Qantas before hitting the rival companies.

Legal factors are last but non the least factors which play portion in success of the company and they play really critical function in doing such policies. MOST IMPORTANT MICRO-ENVIRONMENT FACTORS IN QANTAS Micro environment has been besides really of import and several factors are portion of micro environment like strengths, failing, chances and menaces of the company. Qantas Airways, a national Australian air hose established in 1920 is the universe s 2nd oldest air hose header towards a century of age in 2020 ( Harcourt, 2004 ) . Strengths Along with its subordinates served destinees, a figure of international flights includes about all the continents like Africa, Oceania, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Bing the most oldest in age, Qantas airways is far in front in experience, operational answerability, engineering and services. For all categories including economic system category a epicurean amusement system is provided along with in flight cyberspace installation and with every place holding a LCD screen. Promising a comfy journey, going by Qantas air hoses is cost effectual. A complete cabin system is provided with First category, concern category, premium economic system category and economic system category classification. A paramount committedness is assured through a proper client charter including client s safety, in clip going and reaching, proper caretaking in instance of any bad luck and procuring personal information of their clients. An environment friendly attack through group environment policy sing all modern-day issue sing environment for the attainment of green planet. Airway squad has ever been working for supplying every possible path that is widening twenty-four hours by twenty-four hours. Shows their goodwill gestures at the clip of exigency in their ain part or for their ain people settled abroad in the class of emptying charter. Qantas air passages had been declared as World Skytrax Airline of the Year ( for five back-to-back old ages ) , Skytrax Best Airline Australia ( 2005, 2006, 2008 ) , and Skytrax Best Regional Airline Australia ( 2006, 2008 ) for their services along with several wine design and amusement awards. Failings A conservative policy is implicated while flight that kids going unaccompanied are non allowed to sit along with male travellers, which compels the work forces to experience sex discriminated as females can every bit be suspected for kid maltreatment. Despite being the oldest among the air hoses, Qantas air passages had gone through one air accident in about each decennary which indicates inefficiency in trifle. Due to environmental restraints, some long path direct flights are frequently delayed. Opportunities Proper policies are launched for regular circulars by points gaining through any type of activity that includes money disbursement, either through hotel staying, recognition card use, auto leases, dining and much more. Members are besides given different types of premiums clip to clip. Turning points increases client value from Ag, gold to Pt. Leases has been announced for new aircraft fleet to provide more riders, employment chances, services efficiencies and widening winging concern. For advancing business communities entree to universe with no problem a nine has been organized for uninterrupted and epicurean travel with precedence cheque in and certain concern related and personal installations. Subscription can be made from one to several old ages. Menaces Strong response to planetary fuel monetary value addition, by about half duplicating the ticket on about 10 % addition in fuel monetary values that has late been noticed. Certain efforts of extortion have been made that had an inauspicious consequence on air hose repute but now they are about sorted. Qantas has been accused in 2006 and had been proved guilty for monetary value repair. They had to pay they were fined a immense trade of money, if this happens in hereafter will turn out a dire menace to air hose repute. Selling RESEARCH AND MARKETING INTELLIGENCE Soon the Qantas Group is among one of the few major air hose groups in the universe that are still doing net incomes. Several air hoses are doing considerable losingss, and few amalgamations have besides been seen in past ( for case KLM-Air France ) , coup detats by some large companies and bankruptcies of houses ( e.g Northwest and American Airlines ) . In malice of the apparent flushed first feeling, the existent profitableness word picture across the Group has been diverse, with Jetstar s domestic and planetary operations normally executing good, while the Qantas divider of the concern has been executing less than them. This has been critically because concern intelligence is really of import. Market research has to be on precedence to gain precedences and therefore if company falls down the major issue is low research of market. Qantas s market portion has declined bitterly in the last decennary. At the same clip as the air hose was in a taking market topographic point with 34.4 % of the transition to and from Australia, from 2010 to 2011 its market portion had declined to 18.7 % ( Bamber, Lansbury, Rainthorpe, and Yazbeck, 2005 ) . Intense market research has let it go on and the Qantas has ever been really concerned about that and in response to market needs the launch of Jetstar was planned, which has fascinated 8 % of planetary transition into and out of Australia separating the in general Qantas Group with a 26.5 % market portion at the terminal of 2011. Cleavage AND SPECIFIC SEGMENTATION VARIABLES Cleavage is really of import and critical for Qantas as it has been aiming the domestic and international markets together. The economic capableness of the Qantas international concern is, however, critical to the Qantas s purposes and ends. Dazzling this, a demand to take down the costs is an indispensable occupant of the Group s program for Qantas. Harmonizing to the air hose, the cost base is about 20 % higher than major rivals ( Porter, 1979 ) . Cleavage should be done consequently so that the demands are met and no infinites are left for the rivals to take over. But side by side it is besides really of import that the company follows its ain capacities while aiming a market section. It merely does non hold the small cost formation of many of the rivals, in peculiar the Asiatic rivals. Cleavage needs to be on the footing on geographic as age, gender and other factors do non truly count. Segmentation and specific cleavage variables like demographics, psychographics, buyer-graphics and geographic are critical if selling of the company is planned. Pricing criterions should be set harmonizing to the demands of the clients and cleavage can be based upon that every bit good. Understanding OF MARKET POSITIONING Positioning has been really critical portion of selling scheme which has to be decided by the Qantas and it already has done it good. It has positioned its merchandise domestically on the footing of monetary value incursion while international the placement is based over quality more. The major measure of positioning policy is to be familiar with likely violent net incomes. Qantas has many times for distinguishing its extent and augmented repetitive benefit against its rival Virgin Blue from side to side merchandise and service division ( Coyne, and Sujit 1996 ) . We know that Qantas is a most of import supplier of air conveyance ; the cardinal advantage that a client will take release of is time-critical conveyance . Understanding OF BUYER BEHAVIOR Buying behaviour of client is another major factor which it considers good and behaviour of clients towards the air hoses. Customers have ever thought of holding privileges in footings of monetary values and quality of services. Customer behaviour has ever been a critical phenomenon to analyze when it comes to success or failure of a company ( Brandenburger, and Nalebuff, 1995 ) . Customer would wish to hold proper services and installations during the flight with the sense of security and safety during the journey. Customer s penchant should ever be the centre of attending for the company. Customer is ever right and his attitudes and behaviours are ever critical for the success of the Qantas. Behavior of the bing client of Qantas toward the trade name is loyal but the new client or the client who is utilizing rivals services are non cognizant of the company strengths wholly and this makes it hard for them to take Qantas among all. For this Qantas has to plan a really strong selling run that would convey benefit in footings of client base and the social consciousness about Qantas. Customer base when increases bring a batch of benefits for the company and this should be the focal point of Qantas right now. Decision The overall appraisal of different factors of Qantas have made us recognize that the market analysis and research is really critical and strategic determinations, planning, appraisals and hearing could be done reasonably and more accurately after you have complete cognition about internal and external factors of the company. Position of the merchandise plays really important function in its success or failure so Qantas should take attention about that. Customer behaviour besides plays really of import function and analyzing client behaviours would once more be done through the market research activities. Qantas if focal points all above exactly would acquire privilege to acquire success shortly and for long term.
