...Manzo 1 Sergio Manzo-Maravilla Professor Harvey History 17B 19 May 2014 Thirteen Days The film I chose to research was Thirteen Days which was about the missile crisis. The film that I analyzed tells me a lot about the social and cultural values of the audience for whom the film was made for. For instance, it reminded everyone about how important this particularly part of the cold war was not only to the United States, bur for the whole world. This film puts you in that situation if you did not live through, and makes you understand now everyone around the world was feeling in that moment. Most of the audience that wanted this film probably had families and, thought to themselves what could I do to prevent this from ever happening again? Finally, it gives credit to those that had to handle the decision making at that time, and the men that were ready to go to action given the command. This film takes a place in the of Cold War, while tension was very high between the United States and the Soviet Union. The characters in the movie John F. Kennedy and the people that were around them in his every move. At the beginning of the movie is when a United States plane captures picture of the activity going on in Cuba accidentally. This then gets back the white house and that when they come to the conclusion that the Soviet Union was arming Cuba with offensive missiles that could reach half the country. That kept the situation...

...can thrive. I was lucky to be standing at the crossroad where China started to embrace different cultures and various religions. Thanks to the opened-up culture atmosphere, I was exposed to the clash of cultures between western ideology and traditional Confucianism thoughts. The word “apocalypse” was not even in my dictionary previously until Hollywood introduced it to me in the most dramatic ways I could possibly imagine, and ever since my speculation of the Apocalypse never stopped evolving. From more unrealistic predictions involving in zombies, Godzilla, and DNA-modified prehistoric killer dinosaurs, to more practical speculations like nuclear war and ozone depletion, I was constantly updating my Apocalypse view. With my increasing understanding of the mechanism of how the world functions as a whole, I realized that a global hot war is imminently possible since politics can exert a strong influence on the global situation. In a sense, the transformation China experienced was a direct result from the power of politics. In this essay, I will establish the following hypothesis: The world is going to end with a global political meltdown resulting from a dramatic chain reaction initiated by a single country’s misplay. I would like to start my augment with pointing out that politics can also serve a powerful tool of massive brainwashing, and a hypnotized county is able to unleash the most dreadful power. Here, I will support my point...
