...Abstract This paper shall provide a general business plan for a movie theater being established in a sparsely populated locale. The paper offers an organizational plan, a marketing plan and briefly concludes with a financial or “break-even” analysis. Among other things, the paper stresses the importance of careful preparation, wise staff recruitment, the need for the owner to access the company records frequently, and – not least of all – the importance of contemplating any and all possible variables that might impact upon the businesses’ long-term vitality. A Business Plan for the Movie Theater Description/Executive Summary Establishing a new business in any environment can be challenging. This challenge, however, becomes especially daunting when it is a business intended to serve part of an island of four hundred twenty thousand people. In the paper that follows, several factors and prerequisites will be considered and a general outline of the business will be provided. Specifically, this paper will provide an organizational plan (complete with a legal structure) as well as a comprehensive marketing plan. Additionally, this paper will conclude with a brief financial – also known as “break even” – analysis of the business. In closing, it is hoped that this paper will offer some insight into how a successful movie theater can be established in such a densely populated location. Mission Statement “The Movie Theater Corporation is committed to improve the quality...

...children and parents alike. A majority of parents work outside of the home to maintain financial stability. As children enter daycare and school, a routine is more easily established. Child care is an extremely costly, ongoing expense. Is care before and after school required? Backup plans for time missed from work must be made for those times that daycare or school is closed or your child is ill and cannot attend. In a traditional, 40-hour, five-day workweek, it may be very difficult to attend school day and afterschool events, especially if they are “away” events. You may have to deal with hurt feelings when you can’t juggle your schedule to attend every event. If your child does participate in these activities, consideration must be given to what types of supplies and equipment is required in addition to the additional costs associated with the activity. Another consideration is how to provide a quick, nutritious, inexpensive dinner on the evenings the event takes place and blocking time for homework. Many professions provide flexible hours and telecommuting options which satisfy the work-life balance needed in these situations. Some fields such as manufacturing and medicine have three standard shifts. This can cause an entirely different set of challenges and opportunities for families. Children with two working parents must adapt to a regimented routine. This may include waking up and leaving...

...critical analysis paper using sociological literature to analyze the movie “Soul Food.” The topics I plan to analyze are coming to terms with death, family values during and after the death of a loved one and the ability to move past the hurt and pain after a death occurs. Soul Food depicts an African American family with many underlying issues for each child in relation to each other and also in relation to themselves individually. Mother Joe is the patriarch of the family who, despite her every effort to maintain peace and harmony, has her hands full with her daughters. Family is the thread of our society. Success for an individual is measured by the way he or she interacts with family. In relation to death and dying, the movie, Soul Food has every element that families encounter when attempting to grasp the concept of a loved one dying. The overall summary of this movie is about a matriarch, Mama Joe, who is adamant about family. She has three daughters, all with differing dramas in their lives, and issues with each other’s lives. Every Sunday, the family would gather at Mama Joe’s for Sunday dinner. There, family conflict would begin, be discussed and most times, end over dinner. Traditions are begun at the table and never forgotten because of Mama Joe. Children With Differing Personalities Dealing With A Major Life Change The daughters in this movie are seen in varying ways. In each of their respective ways, all daughters love their mother and care for her, but differently...

...Family Demographics in Beethoven New norms of what is perceived as “family” are emerging, according to Kaakinen (2015). Each distinct, and each with their own set of characteristics that define a healthy family. Based on current demographic indicators, nursing must adapt to these changes to effectively identify real and potential risks that can affect both the health and safety of the family unit. The purpose of this paper is to present family demographics represented by the family in the movie Beethoven (Gross, Medijuck, & Levant, 1992). Thus we will call them the N family. It is important to note that HIPAA standards have not been violated since the family is fictional, and any resemblance to known families will be purely coincidental in nature. The N family is a nuclear family. They are Caucasian. The family consists of five members: husband/primary provider/father...

The human service professional can deliver tailored services and care that caters to diverse beliefs, behaviors, and value systems. Team B will examine characters Celie and Mr. (Albert) in the movie “The Color Purple.” This essay will define the cultural issues or problems of Celie and Mr. (Albert), develop a plan for the delivery of culturally competent services to the characters, develop culturally competent strategies to address those issues, explore the richness of cultural diversity, and the benefits, and drawbacks as portrayed by Celie and Mr. (Albert). The movie “The Color Purple” is an adaption by Steven Spielberg of the novel written by Alice Walker. Walker addresses the issues of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and how these unhealthy traits do not have to be passed on to future generations. The character Celie is an African-American woman who was uneducated, emotionally and physically abused, raped, and bared two children by her stepfather. Celie’s stepfather gave the children away after they were born. Celie’s stepfather gave her to Mr. (Albert) who was looking for a good worker to take care of his children and help out on his farm. Mr. (Albert) married Celie...

...instead of just figuring out why they do and he tried his best to answer those questions using his social control theory.The social control theory developed by Mr. Hirschi states that a person who has bonds with family, friends, the community, or other groups is less likely to participate in criminal activity than people who do not have those solid bonds in their life. (Glick & Miller, 2008, p. 175) Some theorists criticize this theory because they say not having bonds with friends, family, or the community has no effect on whether a person becomes involved in criminal activity or not. This paper will use the movie Crime and Punishment in Suburbia to demonstrate the validity of the social control theory by showing that not having strong bonds in a person’s life can drive them to commit criminal acts. Crime and punishment in Suburbia is the perfect movie to use in order to demonstrate the validity of Travis Hirschi’s control theory because it is about a girl named Rosanne who lacked social bonds in her life which led her to commit a crime. Rosanne appeared to be the perfect teenage girl. She was a beautiful cheerleader who dated the quarterback of the football team. She also seemed to have very high self-esteem and confidence in herself. However, as the movie progresses viewers watch Rosanne be sexually assaulted and verbally abused by her stepfather. After a while,...

...Families in the 1960’s and Today Kiana Joyner American Intercontinental University Abstract This paper will discuss the differences between families from the 1960’s and the families of today. There are many differences between the different times. I have focused on the parentage portion of the families. I explained what the ideal family is and how it is different today. I’ve also included ways that will help these families of today become stronger as a family. Families in the 1960’s and Today There is quite a big difference in families from the 1960’s, and the families of today. Many of the changes from back in 1960 have to do with the parents and keeping family together. These differences have changed since then and will continue to change as time changes. The families today are mostly single parent homes with just the mother’s and the children. On the other hand when the families do consist of married parents, during the early years of the children’s lives, the parents end up divorcing. The difference between the families today and in the 1960’s is that families consisted of having a working husband, the homemaker wife, and the child, or children. This was known as the ideal family. Today you will see more step parent’s then biological parents raising the children (Mercadante, 2009). In my personal experience I grew up with both biological parents together until they divorced when I was ten years old. After a while with it just being my mother, and four children...

...Dear reader, As you read my finalized paper, I’d like you to take a mental note of a few things that I may have changed from my previous draft. My thesis is, “Opposed to Don Vito’s path, Michael Corleone’s new direction with the family business and towards his rivals will create a pooled hatred that will lead to Michael Corleone’s demise.” The main difference between this thesis and my previous thesis is not the content of the thesis itself, but the few words of clarity that I have provided after my thesis in my revised essay. I felt that in my previous thesis, I made an arguable claim, but I left the claim at somewhat of a dead end. In this final draft, I shed just a little more light on what I tried to get across to the reader. What I am most pleased with in this revision is the addition of significant comparisons between Don Vito and Michael Corleone, as they are two totally different characters with different tactics in leadership. I feel that the comparisons vividly show that Don Vito is an effective Machiavellian leader, who according to Machiavelli, should remain safe and prosperous; Michael, while also an effective leader, uses more aggressive and hasty tactics to take care of his matters. The most difficult task in my revision process was including enough of an analysis towards some claims I have made. Even though I feel this draft is improved, I feel that I still drag out evidence for a bit too long during some sections of the essay. I hope that you find this...

...wife Michele and their 2-years old daughter brake down this stereotype, they embody a solution to this issue in the life. It was Beavan's idea because he was interested in environment issue. Also he was keenly interested in getting a book and movie deal. As a result we can see this informative and interesting reality show/ documentary that reflects events in the life of the whole family.It was nice seeing how a family could completely change their lifestyle for a year and watching the progress of their journey seemed heartfelt and honest. The whole process was not just a straight up breeze in the park. It took effort and lots of adaptation. Colin and Michelle seemed real and maybe even relatable. It was very interesting to see family from huge city such as New York living without car, subway,TV,taxi,refrigerator far from civilization.

...25 Ways to Beat Procrastination * Face up to the results of procrastination. What will happen if you procrastinate? How will you feel if you fail the test? How miserable will you be over the weekend if you have to write a last- minute paper while your family and friends get to go see a movie? * Concentrate on the rewards of managing yourself and your time. Think about the rewards that you will get when you finish a difficult task. You can go to a movie or relax or spend time with your children. You can get a good grade. Think about how good you will feel when the weekend comes and your paper is finished and you don’t have to spend all your time working on a project. Focus on how good you will feel when you did well on a project. While you are working, stop periodically and focus on the rewards. * Break up big tasks into small ones. If you have to write a paper, can you work on one segment tonight and another one tomorrow? If you start early and finish a small segment each day, a big paper is just a series of small tasks. * Give yourself a time limit to accomplish a task. Work will expand to take up as much time as we allow it to. Push yourself to work faster and more efficiently. * Set a regular time for study, and do not vary from it. Determine your personal “ best time” and “ best place.” * Start studying with positive, realistic thoughts. Push negative thoughts out of your mind. Tell yourself that you are growing and becoming more competent. Remember...
