...I chose to further examine the film Hoosiers from week 13 of class. After reviewing the film I will compare it with chapter 13 of Major Problems. Hoosiers really caught my interest as a great underdog story and that is why I chose to further study the 1986 classic. I always had heard people talk about this movie but I had never seen it. In this paper I will discuss the historical period Hoosiers is set in, compare and contrast major themes from the week, and evaluate the film based on its effectiveness. Hoosiers is a fictional movie that is actually based on real events in a small town in Indiana. It is based on a true story but does change some of the truths, as evidenced by the ESPN article. The message I gathered from the film was that anything is possible if you can work hard and accept change. The little town of Hickory was very set in its ways and uncooperative of the new basketball coach. Once the town and players learned to accept something different, the team flourished. The argument the film presents is to never count someone out. No matter how small a school or town is, hard work can trump talent and compete with the big boys. The message of acceptance resonates with the viewer and is most likely why Hoosiers is so highly regarded as a sports movie. The historical period that Hoosiers is set in is 1952 rural Indiana. In this time period, people are more centralized around common goals and the entire town knows when someone moves in. There are no...

...The team was founded in early 1925 by Magallanes' footballer David Arellano, who led a group of young players leaving the club after institutional problems.[13][14] Finally, on 19 April, Arellano and the other youths officially established the club after meetings and negotiations, where Luis Contreras chose the name of «Colo-Colo» for the club,[15] which refers to the homonymous Mapuche cacique Colo Colo. The team began to play friendly games, but in 1926, Colo-Colo took part in the Metropolitan League of Honour, where they were proclaimed champions and earned the nickname of «invincible».[16] The following year, Colo-Colo became the first Chilean football team to participate in a tour across Europe. However, on 2 May, during an exhibition match against Real Unión Deportiva at Valladolid, the team founder and captain David Arellano was critically injured after suffering a collision with an opposing player that caused him Peritonitis.[17] The inflammation would lead to his death the next day.[18] Despite the great impact caused by the death of Arellano, the club won the tournament of the Central League of football — then renamed Asociación de Football de Santiago — in the 1928,[19] 1929[20] and 1930[21] seasons. In the 1931–32 season, Colo-Colo suffered its first institutional crisis because of financial problems, which led to a salary reduction for first team footballers and board members, with their consequent resistance.[22] The team played another tournament final that...

... Some people might conclude that the Award Winning film called “La Vita e Bella”, Life Is Beautiful, a film reviewed by Tom Dawson of the British Broadcasting Company doesn’t show the reality of the severeness for the Jews in the concentration camps and many find it offensive.

On his way there he meets a lady named Dora who literally fell into his arms and since that day Guido fell deeply in love with her. Ever since that day Guido tried everything to win the heart of his princess as he called her. Eventually Dora falls for the charms of Guido she fell for that goofy and romantic way of his.

...A Story of Love and Courage Love is a very powerful emotion. It provides people with courage and causes them to act bravely. To have someone to love, and therefore someone to act bravely for, makes one capable of more than expected. Love leads to bravery and can get people through terrible times. In the movie Life is Beautiful, director Roberto Benigni shows the quality of bravery through the experiences of the main characters as they attempt to survive a concentration camp during World War II. When Guido Orefice, an Italian Jew, arrives in Arezzo, he meets Dora, who comes from a wealthy Italian family. Even though she is engaged, she falls in love with Guido, and they marry and have a son, Giosue. At Giosue’s fifth birthday, Guido and Giosue are taken by Nazis to a concentration camp, and Dora insists on voluntarily going with them. At the camp, Guido convinces Giosue that everything is just a game, and he will earn points towards winning a tank. Unfortunately, when Guido goes looking for Dora, he is caught and shot to death by a Nazi soldier, but Giosue and Dora survive. Love is a powerful emotion which leads to acts of bravery, that people perform, even when they are scared. This is shown by Dora’s love for Guido and Giosue, by Guido’s love for Giosue, and by Guido’s love for Dora. Undoubtedly, Dora loves her husband and her son with all her heart; she shows courage when she runs away with Guido, and later again when she volunteers to join Guido and Giosue at the concentration...

...and Reds Baseball. He has over 4,000 hits and over 3,000 games played, both the most by any player ever. Looking at that he should be in the Hall of Fame right? Well no, he is not. He bet on baseball during his playing career and was forever banned from baseball. However, the Hall of Fame is not full of saints and even other Hall of Famers like Hank Aaron went out and said they would like to see him get in. Therefore, he should be in the Hall of Fame. Since the Hall of Fame is a museum to honor the great players in baseball history, Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame (HOF). Dan Epstein wrote the article “Time Served: Why Pete Rose Should Be in the Hall of Fame” to explain the Hall of Fame is not full of saints. As Epstein states “Roberto Clemente's humanitarian credentials wouldn't have meant squat to the voters if he'd hit like Tito Fuentes. Ultimately, the Hall Of Fame is (and should be) a museum, not a monument to morality”(Epstein). Yes he...

...ends up in a concentration camp with his family, including his son and his wife. The story is considered a comedy-drama and uses comedy to convey its rather harsh story of the Holocaust. Many critics have shot down this movie for not portraying the actual events and the darkness of the Holocaust. Roberto Benigni, who co-wrote the film with Vincenzo Cerami, chose this storytelling tool to help develop a sense of deep underlying dramatic irony. They use the theories of survival that were originally developed by Viktor Frankl. His theory is founded on the belief that human nature is motivated by the search for life. Frankl defined his theory on the thought that humans can develop mental health issues and insanity without a sense of meaning in life. He developed this theory while he was in a concentration camp....

...Aristóteles en la Ética a Nicómaco, del bien máximo que es la felicidad-, Platón y el mismo Aristóteles advertían de la necesidad de seguir un método con un conjunto de reglas o axiomas que debían conducir al fin propuesto de antemano. Sócrates, Platón y Aristóteles, entre otros grandes filósofos griegos, propusieron los primeros métodos de razonamiento filosófico, matemático, lógico y técnico. Durante la época medieval, serán los filósofos, físicos, matemáticos, astrónomos y médicos del mundo islámico quienes hagan suya, desarrollen y difundan la herencia de la filosofía griega -entre otros Alhazen, Al-Biruni y Avicena-. También se debe reconocer a quienes contribuyeron a la difusión de dichos conocimiento por Europa; figuras como Roberto Grosseteste y Roger Bacon junto con la imprescindible labor de Escuela de Traductores de Toledo. Pero no será hasta la edad moderna cuando se consolide una nueva Filosofía Natural. Descartes (1596-1650) en su obra el Discurso del método define por primera vez unas reglas del método para dirigir bien la razón y buscar la verdad en las ciencias.2 Aún con diferencias notables fueron muchos los que defendieron la necesidad de un método que permitiera la investigación de la verdad. Desde un punto de vista empírico o científico tal y como ahora lo entendemos se debe mencionar a precursores del método científico como Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Copérnico (1473-1543), Kepler (1571-1630) y Galileo (1564-1642) quienes aplicaban unas reglas...

...away, one could reasonable fear that this useful and intelligent reaction against the Italian aesthetic of the superspectacle and, for that matter, more generally, against the technical aestheticism from which cinema suffered all over the world would never get beyond an interest in a kind of superdocumentary, or romanticized reportage. One began to realize that the success of Roma Citta Aperta, Paisa, or Sciuscia was inseparable from a special conjunction of historical circumstances that took its meaning from the Liberation, and that the technique of the films was in some way magnified by the revolutionary value of the subject. Just as some books by Malraux or Hemingway find in a crystallization of journalistic style the beat narrative form for a tragedy of current events, so the films of Rossellini or De Sica owed the fact that they were major works masterpieces simply to a fortuitous combination of form and subject matter. But when the novelty and above all the flavor of their technical crudity have exhausted their surprise effect, what remains of Italian "neorealism" when by force of circumstances it must revert to traditional subjects: crime stories, psychological dramas, social customs? The camera in the street we still accept, but doesn't that admirable nonprofessional acting stand selfcondemned in proportion as its discoveries swell the ranks of international stars? And, by way of generalizing about this aesthetic pessimism: "realism" can only occupy in art a dialectical...
