...1947 EARTH: THE ABNORMALITY WITHIN Atipol Sukrisadanon As a pile of schoolwork wore me out, I thought I could not enjoy the film Earth my beloved teacher arranged in my graduate class at all. In fact, I watched a short intro of the film before, but it didn’t even interest me. However, at the end of the class, my classmates’ reaction toward the film wiped out my stagnation. I recognized that I had misjudged the film by its very few minutes and I started to watch the film again as I felt I didn’t belong to them. Based on Bapsi Sidhwa’s Cracking India, Earth is an Indian film directed by Deepa Mehta launched in 1998. It is the second part of her Elements Trilogy which consists of Fire, Earth, and Water. The story is narrated through the voice of Lenny (Maia Sethna) who is from an affluent Parsee family. She has a close relationship with her nanny, Shanta (Nandita Das) who is passionately involved with the Muslim masseur (Rahul Khanna). The Ice Candy Man (Aamir Khan) who also adores Shanta is disappointed for her choice and finally their complicated relationship causes the unexpected disaster of friendship, love, politics, and religions. Lahore is part of the borderlines between India and Pakistan. When the British Empire in India started to collapse in 1947, the haste independence caused turmoil in the partition of Indian Subcontinent. Even though the United Kingdom declared the independence to Indian Subcontinent, did India and Pakistan gain their so-called independence...

...“Midnight’s Children” by Salman Rushdie Summary Analysis Shanell Smith Cappa Barry University “Midnight’s Children” by Salman Rushdie In the beginning of “Midnight’s Children”, within the chapter referred to as “The Perforated Sheet”, Salman Rushdie explains the importance of the time and date of his birth, which coincided with the “precise moment of India’s arrival at independence” (Salman Rushdie 2006) on August 15, 1947. Salman goes on to claim that his birth was the fate of the country, signifying his urgeobligation to tell his stories before his death, which he believes is soon. In the first paragraph, Salman Rushdie starts off with stating “once upon a time”, (Salman Rushdie 2006) which is generally a fairytale line. This seems to imply that Salman is delusional, or takes a telepathic entity where he is able to speak to the other “Midnight’s Children” in order to create a story for himself. Salman believes that he and the other “Midnight Children” are the fate of the country, and that their history is directly impacted by the country, as well as the country’s history being directly impacted by them. Salman uses a wide array of rhetorical devices throughout the first few pages of “Midnight’s Children” such as metaphor, analogy, and imagery. Salman uses “Midnight’s Children”, the title of the novel, as a metaphor. He is saying that the children that were born at the time of India’s independence, are in fact claimed by midnight and the country. Another example...

Rachna joined a team of designers that was led by Ajit Sinha, who was a 38-year-old alumnus of the same institute Rachna graduated from. Rachna joined the team which consisted of 3 other colleagues that had experience at Hi-Style Limited, their names were Shilpa, Deepa, and Sandya. These employees were close to Sharma who had quit because of differing views with Ajit. Rachna was aware that she would face resentment from her new co-workers, because she was taking the position of an employee that the others were close to, but Rachna was confident that she could win over their hearts through hard work and dedication. This did not turn out to be as easy as she had thought. A year and a half passed and Rachna was well acquainted with the organizational culture of her work. Rachna was an excellent employee and she got along well with her co-worker Shilpa, but she still faced deep hostility from Deepa and Sandhya.

...their lives where they need to make decisions (Deepa, Kartha). Decisions are defined as a process of choosing a course of action to deal with a problem or opportunity (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Osborn, and Uhl-Bien; 2010). Decision making is not something that people need to take lightly; these decisions will affect a person for the rest of his or her life. Steps to Decision Making When making decisions people can follow five steps that will help in the process of making the final decision. The steps are recognizing and defining the problem or opportunity, analyze alternatives, make a choice, take action, and evaluate the results (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Osborn, and Uhl-Bien; 2010). The first step of recognizing and defining the problem, this means looking at the problem. No decision needs to be made if there is no problem (Deepa, Kartha). In my life a recent decision I had to make was whether or not to take a new job where I would receive less pay, or stay at the job I was currently at and miserable. The job I was miserable at was at a daycare, where I worked nine to 10 hours a day, and only got paid for eight. I was shown no respect, and did not receive the training I needed with my promotion. The job I was offered was at a dental office where the team is smaller so they get along, the hours are better, but the pay was less. I have defined the problem; it is time for the next step, which is looking at other alternative solutions (Deepa, Kartha). In this step one allows him or herself...

...Social Media Social networking sites have been around for quite a while now. “A social networking service is an online service which provides a platform for building social network or social relations among people. Social Networking is growing rapidly all over the world” (Deepa, p.1). It all started with MySpace, moved to Facebook, and now everyone’s addicted to Twitter. These social networking cites have their downfalls, but most definitely have positives that follow. “The popularity of social networking sites such as Face book. MySpace, Twitter LinkedIn, and Classmates.com more than quadrupled from 2005 in 2009. We are focusing on how these social networking sites are center of attraction in this new era of 21stcentury” (Deepa, p.1). MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook all give someone individuality to be who they want in front of a computer screen. These sites help shy people potentially come out of their shell little by little. These sites also allow people to meet and socialize with new people and create new friends. Some things that none of these sites tell you is if the person is real or not. Regardless of the name, picture, or mutual friends, you truly never know who is behind a computer screen. Many people aren’t as careful as they should be with talking to the random people they meet through the Internet and through these social networking sites. Social media is very addicting and will continue to be addicting with all the new additions they keep adding to all...
