...Stereotypes against minorities through film Introduction: Stereotyping against minorities had been an issue since the 20th century and since then the minorities had been protesting against the discrimination and inequality in entertainment industries. This includes the discrimination in vote, ownership, basic human rights and social rights which led to the stride of the minorities to protest for the equal rights living in a country. For example in America, the black Americans were hunted and lynched by the white Americans and it was celebrated as a sport. So in mid of 20th century, although the black Americans got their freedom, they still faced the color racism by the majority of America. Stereotyping against minorities through entertainment started at the start of the entertainment industry in the world. Unfortunately, stereotyping against the minorities through media was also recorded by the film’s historians. Considering the example of Joseph Goebbels, who was the propaganda general during World War 2 and he was considered to be the founder of the discrimination portrayed in his directed films. During Nazi Regime, there were many stereotyping against the Jews and this discrimination was proudly displayed by the Goebbels propaganda they specifically targeted the Jewish controlled organization and they were negatively portrayed in the entire film. However these stereotyping ended by the end of National Socialist Party but sadly the practice of stereotyping the minorities...

...It is very important that we get a clear understanding of this psalm. It is important to know how Psalm 46 functioned in Israel just as if it is important to see how we can apply it to our lives now. My analysis of Psalm 46 is an attempt to show that God is our mighty fortress, but we must have trust in God in the midst of our situation. It is a reminder that God is the one that should be exalted. We are not God and in the end, He will be the one that is exalted. Therefore, we might as well be still. According to Kraus, “The certainty of the community singing in Psalm 46 is based on Yahweh, on the God of Israel who has proved himself in troubles. This Psalm goes on to teach us that it is not the church that is an indestructible fortress on earth, but it is God’s presence being in the church that causes all wars and turmoil is to cease. Psalm 46 offers us the ability to put radical trust in God when we are facing overwhelming...

...The Lord of the Rings: Tolkien and Historical Influence- Struggle Between Dictatorship and Democracy The Lord of the Rings being deemed the greatest fiction that arose from the twentieth century pretty commonplace. The trilogy is a masterpiece blessed upon our society by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Even within this mystic land of elves, dwarves, orcs, and hobbits, there can be sociological patterns found that mirror our real world. The ‘power of power’ is indisputable in Middle-Earth just as much as this holds on our actual Earth. The national system operates all the same as eighteenth to twentieth century developing major countries; consisting of social classes, a brawl for dominance, and an ultimate decay of culture and civilization. Furthermore, when J.R.R. Tolkien was constantly inquired about the origin of his initial influence for constructing the series, the best answer he gave was, “An author cannot of course remain wholly unaffected by his experience”. He denies the story have an intentional allegory to World War I, World War II, or any historical events for that matter. Nevertheless, it is still noteworthy to take into two facts. One, Tolkien was sent to fight for the British in front-line battle during World War I. Two, both of his sons were sent to fight in World War II during the pinnacle of Tolkien’s construction of the Lord of The Rings novels. He insists that there was no deliberate alignment of his hero’s journey epic with the unfortunate fate of the real...

...Few industries can match aircraft manufacturers and carriers for their volatility (Strategic Direction, 2004) – there are so many strategic factors that can affect the financial bottom line. The last three decade we have seen such imponderables make in the battle between Airbus and Boeing even more fascinating. For Taylor (2003), the fight for supremacy between these two manufacturers puts such titanic confrontations as Ford versus Chevy and Nokia versus Motorola in the shade. This paper takes an empirical approach to examining international competition and marketing strategy adaptation in the wide-body aircraft market. The discussion topic will be organized into three sections, beginning with failure start of Airbus Industry GIC. Explaining in deep analysis of the reason behind the difficulties that Airbus faced when entering upon the civil aviation industry. While we continue on to the second part where Airbus have broken ground with a leading market share in the late 90s, what marketing strategy did Airbus initiate in order to achieve this enormous success when going against its sole competitor the mighty Boeing. Last but not least, the current market condition. The difference in strategy that each of the duopoly has apply, Airbus going for the large airliner in hub-and-spoke system and Boeing targeting at manageable size and fuel efficient in a point-to-point configuration. Airbus has come far and long, with a sizable success in gaining market share from its monopolistic...

...International News on the Internet: Why more is less Chris Paterson This study examines the intersection of news agency political economy and cyberspace information exchange between 2001 and 2006 in an effort to determine if online news has corrected – or replicated – the inequities and limitations of the international journalism provided by ‘traditional media’. Through comparisons of content at major online news sites and the output of major news wholesalers, this research is the first to demonstrate that the international news most online users consult is that of just two news agencies. This research finds an online news environment with little real information diversity – a situation at odds with a decade and a half of fervour for the democratizing potential of new media. Keywords: News agencies, online journalism, Reuters, associated press, news sources, international news New media have often been deemed inherently democratizing and liberating, offering the prospect of freeing us all from a long standing dependence on a few powerful information providers and the “mainstream” discourse they offer. McNair (2003) hailed recent internet evolution and its infinite possibilities for horizontal communication, the demystification and deprofessionalization of journalism, and endless information choice, suggesting that the chaos of the contemporary communications environment may lay to rest concerns about the power of traditional media monoliths upholding the status...

...Running Head: SCOTT SMITH ON NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE Scott Smith on Native American Culture Scott Smith Regis University Abstract The Native American culture is explored in general terms, including their history, cultural values, and racial identity to better understand them as fellow human beings and to gain insight into how best to provide them counseling services within their cultural context. In addition, Scott Smith, a therapist-in-training, provides some of his personal feelings and thoughts about various topics pertaining to Native Americans as a cultural group within this framework and along this path of his own learning about Native American culture and how he can be the most affective therapist he can be for Native American clients. Scott Smith on Native American Culture To begin examining their Native American culture, I would like to discuss some important Native American terminology; however, I also want to note I will be presenting additional terminology as appropriate and depending on the topics I’m discussing, i.e. history, racial identity development, and so on. So what term or terms are acceptable to Native Americans when referring to them as a cultural group? Do they prefer to be called Indians, American Indians, Native Americans, Indigenous People, none of those, or some of those? For most of my life, I’ve only felt comfortable using the term “Native American” primarily because I associated the word “Indian” early on in grade school...

...Wii: Creating a Blue Ocean. The Nintendo Way ÁREA MARKETING ESTRATÉGICO Wii: Creating a Blue Ocean The Nintendo Way Patricio O’Gorman1 RESUMEN Durante la última década, Nintendo ha tenido serias dificultades para mantenerse a flote en el mercado ultra-competitivo de los video-juegos. Su suerte se revirtió solamente cuando modificaron radicalmente su estrategia (creando un Blue Ocean), cambiando así las reglas del juego. Con el lanzamiento de la Nintendo Wii a fines del 2006, recuperaron su posición de liderazgo y se convirtieron en el principal rival a vencer por rivales de la talla de Sony (Playstation 3) y Microsoft (Xbox360). ABSTRACT For several years now, the video game industry has been locked into what can best be described as a Red Ocean, where the focus is on beating the competition, winning market share, capturing consumers and outselling the competition. Blue Ocean Strategy2 (BOS), on the contrary, focuses on creating new demand in places where there is none, thus making the pie bigger instead of fighting over whom gets the largest slice of the pie. Since the launch of the Wii (pronounced “we”) video-game system, Nintendo has taken great steps toward making the competition irrelevant. This short article is meant to analyze the company’s strategy and understand it from the point of view of BOS.

...Larkin has been regarded as one of the most pessimistic poets. Larkin surely takes a very dark view of human life. The main emphasis in his poems is on failure and frustration in human life. And then there is his preoccupation with death. In a number of poems he emphasizes the sombre and grim aspects of human life and in many poems he speaks of the cert of death. We are all aware of the facts of failure and frustration in human life and we are all aware of the faith of death. But what makes Larkin a pessimist, and a confirmed pessimist at that, is his repeated emphasis, and over-emphasis, on these aspects of human life. On explanation of his repeated reminders to us of the certain of death, he has been regarded as “a graveyard poet”; and the general and brooding atmosphere of melancholy and despondency in his poems justifies the label “pessimist” for him. A number of poems come to our minds in this connection. The poem Ambulances paints a gloomy picture of human life because of the fact that every street is visited by an ambulance at one time or the other. An ambulance is a symbol of disease and death. Dockery and Son contains the following pessimistic line: “Life is first boredom, then fear”. And this poem concludes with the pessimistic view that there is old age, and that the end of old age is death. Aubade is a poem in which Larkin’s fear of death reaches its climax. Larkin himself described it his “in-a-funk-about-death poem.” The Positive Features of His Pessimistic...

...The International Airline Industry Background The airline industry has been limited in expanding because of national and international regulations. Even the dominant players in this market have only been able to keep their dominance over their own markets, except for United States. In United States, the state owned national flag carriers have been the key players of this industry. But in 1990, the competition started to increase in this industry. This was caused due to deregulation, privatization and advent of new technology. During the nineties every major country in the world saw deregulation in airline’s industry. In 1978 United Stated deregulated its airlines and saw an increased competition in their local market. Similar thing happened to European Union when they disbanded their country specific barriers to free market competition among air carriers. Asia also followed the same route. Some regions in Asia quickly deregulated themselves. Many small national carriers in Latin America were privatized. The emergence of free market competition was expected to be more dominant as many European Nations were discussing implementation of opening transatlantic market with USA where landing rights would be determined by free market forces, rather than regulation. The countries signed bilateral agreements between countries that enabled the airlines of those countries to provide landing and takeoff facilities for air carriers of those countries. Privatization and deregulation...
