...Although District 9 is a fictional movie, many aspects of the movie relates to real life situations. Everyday, countries must handle situations in which the state must decipher a way to handle desperate refugees that come to seek a better life. In District 9 however, Aliens are found in a spaceship that hovered above Johannesberg for 20 years. Inside this spaceship, malnourished, ill, and suffering Aliens were found and eventually moved to a placement camp by a large corporation called Multi-National United (MNU). District 9 later turns into a disastrous slum. The main character, Wikus Van Der Merwe, who is also the field operative of MNU, experiences an incident where his DNA merged with the Aliens. As a result, Wikus begins to empathize with the Aliens. If analyzed metaphorically, one can find the similarities of this movie with the real world. In Canada on the year of 2010, 492 Tamil immigrants from Srilanka were smuggled across the ocean for three straight months and were brought to British Columbia. According to Stewart Bell, a news reporter from National Post (2013): “Passengers said food and water was scarce and crewmembers committed “abuse of power” by withholding provisions as punishment. The report did not explain why some passengers were punished. Even those so dehydrated they could not pass urine were denied water, it said. One man died during the crossing and several were hospitalized upon arrival in B.C. Almost three years later, many have little to show for the...

..."State and Local Governments" Terence Bolt State & Local Government August 26, 2011 State and Local Governments The differences in culture of the early Americans played a significant role in shaping state government. It affected the level and type of role that its citizens participated in politics, the reach of the government governed its people and the direction of its public policy. The three aspects of the influence of culture on politics were determined by its newly formed citizenry. As the United States was being formed, immigrants from Europe and other countries with similar perspectives grouped together to form different political subcultures. Daniel Elazar, a distinguished political scientist at Temple University, has been one of the leaders in this school of thought. Elazar (1994) argues that, "... the nation has one general political culture, but that within it are three important subcultures, which he describes as individualistic, moralistic, and traditionalistic." (pg 28) The Individualistic subculture relies on the marketplace. Government's role is limited and was instituted to accomplish the demands of the people. Elazar (1994) says that, "government need not have any direct concern with questions of "the good society"; except to further economic prosperity of the market place. In other words, government should primarily be limited to, "...areas in the economic realm, that encourage private initiative...
