...understanding and applying the concepts. He believes that one should follow excellence, not success, as success will come by itself if excellence is followed. However, this different approach is sneered upon by the faculties, including the dean of the college, Professor Viru "Virus" Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). In contrast, Virus' favorite student, Chatur "Silencer" Ramalingam, (Omi Vaidya) believes in mindless memorizing over understanding, in order to reach his goals of corporate and social status. Meanwhile, Rancho falls in love with Virus' medical student daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) when he, Raju and Farhan accidentally crash her sister's wedding banquet to obtain a free meal, which infuriates Virus. Virus labels Rancho and his friends as "idiots" and continually attempts to break Rancho's friendship with Farhan and Raju. Things further escalate when the three friends drunkenly break into Virus's house one night to allow Rancho to confess his love to Pia, and urinate on the front door before fleeing. The next day, Virus threatens to rusticate Raju unless he squeals on Rancho. Not wanting to betray his friend or let down his family, Raju attempts suicide and ends up in a coma. However, with two months of extensive care from his mother, Rancho,...

...3 Idiots is an Indian comedy movie with a great message, directed by Rajkumar Hirani in 2009. I like this movie because the message they conveyed through this film. The education system in India is very strict and with strict I don’t mean that by school rules; I mean the level of judging according to the book knowledge. One played the famous Indian actor, Amir Khan the main character, with other famous co-actors. The film also won Film Fare Award at 6th position and also best director award. The idea behind this movie was to highlight the mentality of the educated people in India, especially if they are on higher position then how badly they want their kids to be on top of everything. The competition is very tough and its all about to make proud of your parents as it doesn’t matter what children want to do with their career life. Now in these days, competition is so hard that kids don’t want to understand things and logic behind their work, all they want is to cram so they can do best on their exams and beat other kids. In this movie, the main character, Amir Khan conveyed the message that getting good grades on the exam doesn’t mean excellent academic standing. In the film, there was one incidence where one boy committed suicide because he was not qualified to sit for final exams, as he didn’t pass the pre-engineering exam because he was working on his project where he was using his knowledge instead of cramming book definitions. The dean of the university was very hard to the...

...The Broadway show American Idiot takes its audience on a journey through the trials and tribulations of 3 young men growing up in America saturated in media and unsure of just who they truly are. The musical is an extravagant display of visual media, dazzling the viewers and leaving them wondering how to divide their attention among all the different things happening on stage. However, despite this strength, the show lacks character development as well as sufficient plot motivation. The plot of the show is easy enough to describe. Three boys, dissatisfied with their humdrum suburban existence decide to hit the road and find something out there more exciting than their hometown. However, Will (Michael Esper), one of the boys is sidetracked when his girlfriend Heather (Mary Faber) informs him that she is pregnant with his child. The other two boys, Johnny (the main character, played by John Gallagher, Jr.) and Tunny (Stark Sands) leave Will behind and head off to make their way in the world. Soon Tunny enlists in the army, and Johnny gets hooked on heroin, creating an alter ego named St. Jimmy (Tony Vincent). As the show goes on, Johnny falls for a woman named Whatshername (Rebecca Naomi Jones), but their relationship is destroyed by St. Jimmy, or his addiction. Tunny loses his leg in battle, but gains love in the form of a woman named The Extraordinary Girl (Christina Sajous). Heather gives birth, but ends up leaving Will due to his alcoholism and general apathy. Eventually...

...1. Describe the system of education in the movie. To be able to fully describe the system of education in the movie “The Three Idiots”, one must know the educational system being implemented by the Indian government. Although some states in India have already used modern teaching methods such as creative learning by Howard Garner, Modern education in India is often criticized for being based on rote learning rather than problem solving. The system of education in the movie is Authoritarian because the teacher, in this case the university professor, is the law and the only authority in the process of learning inside the classroom. It is also is based on the Traditional Method because it emphasizes rote learning which was already replaced by other more effective teaching methods because of its limitation in developing higher learning skills in students. Instances in the movie have shown how the emphasis in rote learning has stifled the students’ full comprehension of a theory that also hampered the development of their creative abilities because they must always follow what is being prescribed them by their mentors. Insubordination will mean being rusticated from the school system. With this fact, it is no surprise that this dysfunctional engineering school system portrayed in the movie, pressures huge numbers of students into suicide. 2.

...students (with consent) visiting the museum and asking about their knowledge on art. Fran Smith’s article, “Why Arts Education is Crucial, and Who’s Doing It Best” on Edutopia.org speaks about how art can apply to educational benefits for students to expand their potential. Honesty holds an important quality in life. Honesty means being truthful about a person instead of starting rumours. Being honest means admitting to lying about something, no matter how stupid, like a little boy forgetting to flush the toilet when clearly, the little boy was the last one to use the bathroom. Linda and Charlie Bloom in their article “The Cost and Benefits of Emotional Honesty”, speaks about how feeling like an idiot applies to honesty: “It's a small price to pay to feel like a blundering idiot while we are learning the skills of emotional honesty.” A student who had cheated on a test and then notified the professor of cheating also signifies a sense of honesty. Honesty comes throughout all types of art and proper usage and credit should...

...the estate. For many years, Vanya and his niece Sonya, have been looking over the estate that belonged to Vanya’s sister, Maria who is also the first wife of the Professor. Meanwhile, the Professor and his young wife, Elena are living in city off the earnings of the estate. Retired with no job, he is simply a mooching cradle robber who needs constant care by Elena or Sonya. In the play, it is clear that he is no longer the brilliant man that he was once was. Naturally, the Professor is selfish because he has become extremely dependent on others due to his old age. He requires a lot from those around him and gives nothing back. Simply he is a burden as demonstrated in his own words to Elena “You are quite right, of course. I am not an idiot; I can understand you. You are young and healthy and beautiful, and longing for life, and I am an old dotard, almost a dead man already. Don't I know it? Of course I see that it is foolish for me to live so long, but wait! I shall soon set you all free. My life cannot drag on much longer. (Chekhov)” This does not only apply to Elena but also to Sonya and Vanya. Throughout the years, they looked after the Estate and contributed to the wellbeing of the Professor for nothing. Uncle Vayna said it perfectly “For twenty-five years I have managed this place, and have sent you the returns from it like the most honest of servants, and you have never given me one single word of thanks for my work, not one--neither in my youth nor...

...we can easily endure adversity. Another man’s, I mean. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned. Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold. Familiarity breeds contempt – and children. Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example. He is now rising from affluence to poverty. He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be under it, inspiring the cabbages. Honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it. I have made a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time. In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards. It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them. Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul. Man – a creature made at the end of the week’s work when God was tired. Man is the only creature that blushes – or needs to. Man was made at the end of the week’s work when God was tired. Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied. Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising. Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins. Necessity is the mother of taking chances. Nothing so needs reforming as other people’s habits. One of the...

... But one day, there was an incident that changed my view on "what things". It was at noon, I was going out to eat with colleagues and we met him in the elevator. Because it was lunch time, the elevator was overcrowded as usual. When the elevator stopped at the main floor, there were a lot of people waiting outside to go up. As we hurried out of the door, I saw “what things” was standing by the door with his finger pressing on the button. When all the people went out, he still remained the same posture. I thought he was going to the garage downstairs but then I discovered that the elevator was ready to rise. I was so curious that I looked what in the end he wanted to do. “Does he forget something; ready to return to the office? What an idiot.” I talked to myself. I saw that he waited until the last person went into the elevator. Then, "what things" loosed his finger and dragged out of the elevator with his tired and motionless face. Suddenly, my colleagues and I looked at each other. Since then we call him...

...he never listens treating everyone as if they were beneath him, “Wit’ dem pop eye she gat, her ma musse pity frog or goggle-eye fish.” However, initially it was obvious that the man was going to get exactly what he dissevered. His first downfall was not being able to have a child. He tried his hardest to be able to do so yet luck wasn’t on his side. As any man can say, being remembered as the guy who can’t get his own wife pregnant isn’t a good way to leave this earth. Regardless to the sorrow I feel towards him, I still believe he deserved worse. Despite him being the big disgrace of the town the years which he made girls suffer wasn’t enough. When the Mama Farida warned him, “Poor fool, yuh married B’er Gaulin,” but he wanted to be an idiot refusing to take her seriously. However, in his defense he loved this girl for many years, because of this when it came to hurting her he couldn’t bare the thought not to mention if he slaughtered her. Sad to say, his wife and the other Gaulin didn’t feel the same as they pecked at his eyes, tore his clothing and finally...

I feel that, yes, Angie has a right to say what she wants on her Facebook page. Everyone should have the freedom of speech. I also feel that one should take into consideration the consequences and effects it may have on you and/or others, depending on what was said. Opinions and actions are two different things that should be taken into account when giving information publicly. The text did not state the exact reason that Angie was fired. Was it because she called her boss an idiot or because she called in “sick” when she actually had a hangover? It is Angie’s opinion that her boss is an “idiot”. Was it ethical of her to make that remark, no, but do not think that would be grounds for termination. As far as her calling in sick, it was irresponsible of Angie to put herself in a situation knowing she had to work the following morning. If a company fells the performance of its employee is being jeopardized because of irresponsibly acts then, yes, I fell they have enough reason to fire...

ZOOOOOM! The man left us here on this little boat. “HE’S AN IDIOT.” I said. Hours past and finally the tsunami was over. “We need to find land.” “I see it,” said Callie. “See what?” I said. “I see land.” “She’s right,” said dad. “IT’S THE SAME ISLAND THE JUMANJI ISLAND.” “Everybody start paddling, we need to go to the island,” said dad.” We were finally there.
