...Reclaiming Disconnected Kids John Seita is an credible author because he’s had to experience what he’s had to write about. He takes his personal experiences and writes about it. He shows ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos in Reclaiming Disconnected Kids. In my research I am going to explore all four different type of writing styles. I believe that he shows these different styles in very good ways. This article by John Seita shows the use of ethos in many different ways, one ways is from P. 30 – “When I was in out-of-home…” 2nd column. Ethos establishes credibility early in the writing showing charticics of spirits and cultures. In this writing by Seita he gives examples in this by using his own personal experience. He may be using his own experience...

...chaotic environment consisting primarily of cities engulfed in flames or leveled off due to the constant bombardment from American warplanes. Interestingly, the entire film revolves around the physical and mental hardships of Seita and his younger sister, Setsuko. Seita suddenly swaps roles with his father and becomes the sole provider for his new ‘small family’ which only consists of Setsuko and himself. While Seita takes care of Setsuko during these difficult times, he is forced to make certain moral decisions that influence their own survival. These decisions, according to John Stuart Mill, are morally justified as the action creates more pleasure than pain Even though Setsuko is not old enough to take care of herself, Seita treats her as an equal which ultimately adds meaning to his own life. As both of his...

...war II, Japan and America were enemies. The people were poor and hungry. During events like planes were bombing, the Japanese go to safe houses called shelter that secure them. After bombing there was “black rain”. In the movie the characters Seita and his younger sister Setsuko, must go to the shelter before the planes with bombs will arrived. This gave me knowledge about the happenings during world war II. I only thought before that only our country, Philippines was affected. After the bombing, His mom died because of too much injuries and burns. I felt sad because the main character Seita, saw his mother wearing bandage all over her body and saw her death. Because he wanted to not hurt his sister’s feelings, he kept his mother’s death as a secret. He was such a caring brother. If I was on his feet, I will do the same. Setsuko was such an innocent child. On the other hand his father was a soldier and can’t take care of them. That’s why they went to their aunt. At first, the aunt was caring just like a mother. I thought they were now in a good hand. But she became unfair. To be able to eat, they dig the food they stored under the ground because their house was burned. Actually in the movie, no more infrastructures were shown. After that Seita traded his mother’s kimono for 15 kilograms of rice. But again, their aunt tricked them by eating the...

...Reaction to a Social Justice Issue Linh Nguyen University of Central Florida Reaction to a Social Justice Issue These days, newspaper and television are full of reports about child mistreatment, therefore, child abuse is very common social justice issue. Child abuse is an action that will result in harm to a child or put a child's life at risk. A child can be physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglected. Every year, there are thousands of children are physically abused by no one else but their parents or relatives (Child Abuse). Although a child can be neglected or suffers from physical damage, he/she has to suffer the most from emotional damage because those emotional traumas can last a lifetime (Child Abuse). Children who have been abused are scared to tell anyone about what they have experienced or choose to be quiet because the person who mistreated them is someone they are scared of, or someone they love very much (What to know). Surprisingly, parents are the most likely to abuse their children because of their mental issues or their history of abusing childhood (What to know). Also, when abused children become abusing parents, they tend to have a higher risk of anxiety and depression, therefore, they have more problem trying to maintain lasting and stable relationships (Child Abuse). The reasons why adults express abusive behavior are when they do not now how to apply the right methods to discipline their child, and when adults have temper problems due to excessive...

...The films watched during this course took me by surprise. I am not normally one that goes for these sorts of films; I rarely watch anything action packed. War films in general make me cry and wish that there weren’t reasons to attack each other. Saving Private Ryan, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Grave of the Fireflies all definitely tugged at my heartstrings and brought new information to light. One movie stood out over the others in regards to emotional impact and all-around enjoyableness but they were all truly great. Enjoy is a tough word to use when settling on a film from this course. Grave of the Fireflies was by far the most enjoyable film. I cried from start to finish so it was a wonder I could see what was really happening on...

...determination and devotion to his son’s happiness is one of the most moving examples of unfaltering clemency. This mercy is also shown in Paths Of Glory. Three men are sentenced to an execution because their company did not follow orders on a suicide mission. Colonel Dax is horrified at the idea of men being chosen at random for not wanting to die. Dax is in a higher position than the men who were killed and yet does everything in his power to allow justice for the men. Dax’s defiance against the war and the act of him resigning falsifies the idea of trivialization so insistent within the film. This idea of war being manageable was especially difficult for children during the time. During an American firebombing in World War Two, siblings Seita and Setsuko are forced to steal and give up everything they have to keep the other alive. The wholehearted love and sacrifice shown in Grave Of The Fireflies proves above anything war can not deprive people of their humanness. Man, woman, and child love easy. They must rely on one another for everything and therefore their lives become intertwined. People are born in that manner and it is difficult to tear away this basis of humanity. When pain and sorrow strike there is no better example of the hurt than war. Conflict is a time when humans need bonded compassion most so it is no surprise when this is how humans are built to react. ...

...Film Comparison The power and intrigue of a story is determined by the subject matter, and how that subject matter is presented. People who make films have the freedom to manipulate any story, or subject matter. Films which portray real historical, and personal events need to be viewed with the understanding that the form of the film needs to coincide with the content in order for it to be credible. The film Tarnation is a documentary film about a man’s life. John Caouette combines hours of filmed footage from his life. Home movies, photographs from before he was born, answering machine tapes, snippets of short films, and 1980’s pop culture come together to create a fast paced, unsettling, tragic, and dramatic story. This part documentary, part narrative tells the story of his life, and how every aspect of it was affected by the mental instability that his mother experienced from a very young age. Tarnation deals with the themes of family, rape, child abuse, drug addiction, promiscuity, abandonment, and psychosis. The form of the film takes on a very dramatic, and anxious feel. A lot of the footage is shown in fast and short clips. There are times when videos cut in and out at a speed that relates to which part of John’s life is being portrayed. This diary in the form of a movie is raw and emotional. The chaos, and aggressiveness is portrayed not only through the events in John’s life, but the form of the film. The editing of the footage shown in this movie...

...Strategic management | Cuban Cigar industry | Professor Changwha Chung | Introduction Cuban cigars are known as the symbol of upper echelon class even for an uneducated cigar smoker. They are highly reputed for distinct taste and feel; also consider containing the world’s best tobacco. As a tropical region, Cuba’s land is possibly the ideal place to grow the finest tobacco and wrappers in the world. Even though cigars have been manufactured in other countries as well, Cuba’s cigars still hold the foremost choice of all cigar aficionados around the world. Cigar is mostly popular in United States as a symbol of class. This means that anyone would be tempted to invest in the cigar industry. However, the importation of the Cuban cigar to the United States is illegal. Due to the trade embargo imposed on Cuba by the Kennedy administration forty years ago, all economic trades between United States and Cuba are blocked. With the former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, the first U.S. president to visit Cuba following the embargo, there are speculations that the U.S. – Cuba relations would soften, leading to lifting the embargo restrictions. Obviously the potential slackening of the trade barrier would be an investor’s dream within this industry, but the reality of the situation is still very unpredictable. Forty years have passed since the embargo, and many cigar manufacturing industries have evolved around the world during this period, all contributing to U.S. cigar consumption...

Changes to economic, political and financial barriers by many developing countries with the hope to attract international investment have seen the move by transnational corporations to exploit these opportunities. There are many who argue that the impact of transnational corporations has been positive, providing employment and income opportunities as well as country wealth. There are however, many who argue that the power and influence of the transnational corporation brings with it the ability to directly impact adversely on human rights and that as the transnational corporation operates outside human rights obligations assumed by each state pursuant to their status under international conventions, there...

...The price of adultery The Indian law on adultery, drafted more than a century ago, makes it a punishable offence for men alone. The recent proposal to punish women too has generated much debate. Shoma A. Chatterjilooks at the archaic law in the light of changing social mores HOW fair is the National Commission for Women’s (NCW) stand against the Union Government’s attempt to amend Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code regarding the reversegender bias contained in the country’s age-old law on adultery? It is proposed to include women within the purview of Section 497 as against its present rules that expressly state that a married woman cannot be punished even as an abettor in a case of adultery. Whether the woman is a victim of adultery or is herself an adulteress, she is completely free of being penalised for her misdemeanour. Should this bias continue into 2007? The question is a tough one to answer. The bonds of marriage have a religious, social and legal sanction in India. Thus, any sexual liaison that defies this bond spells noncompliance with social norms. It is a violation of the sacred marriage vows religiously and morally held to be sacrosanct and is punishable under the laws of Illustration by Aditi Chahar the land. Bigamy for all non-Muslims is a crime vide Section 494 of the IPC. Why should women remain immune to the law today? What is adultery Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines "adultery" thus: "Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person...

...ROLE OF NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR WOMEN IN PROTECTION AND EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN: AN EVALUATION Subject title: Family Law- I Submitted to: Dr. Anju Tyagi Submitted by: Aratrika Das Class/Year/Semester: IInd year III semester Roll: 16LLB12 2013 National Law University, Delhi Chapter I: Introduction It is often said that the status and position of women in society is the best way to understand a civilisation, its progress and its shortcomings. In case of India, women have come a long way from women sages and scholars in the Rig Vedic period to women in the armed forces, IT sector, politics, industry and other significant areas while balancing their role as a daughter, wife and mother. This journey towards modernization has not been easy. Women have had to fight the traditional Indian male-dominated society to emerge as stronger and independent entities. While all these are positive developments, cases of rape, harassment at workplace and dowry deaths are rampant. Illiteracy and ignorance about their rights are still prevalent among a majority of the women. It was in this background that the Committee on the Status of Women in India (CSWI ) recommended nearly two decades ago, the setting up of a National Commission for Women to fulfil the surveillance functions to facilitate redressal of grievances and to accelerate the socio-economic development of women. The National Commission for women (NCW) is a statutory body for women established in 1992 by Government of India under...
