...similar interests and values. One of the greatest characteristics searched for in others is genuine goodness. It is typical to want to be surrounded by good people. Are all people either good or evil? While everyone has good and evil intentions within themselves, whether the evil tendencies present outwardly is determined by the people that individuals are surrounded by. This is demonstrated by how the population behaves in discrimination towards minorities, with lack of authority, and with an imbalance of power in groups. One human tendency is to act out upon evil desires when inundated by minorities or people already existing to be bullied. This is seen in the case of a teenage girl named Phoebe Prince and a college-aged student named Tyler Clementi. Their tormentors have been accused of “bullying them to death”. An article states, “As the girl walked home, a car full of students crept close. One kid hurled a crumpled soda can out the window… the girl had gone home after the soda-can incident and killed herself… “mean girl” tormentors charged with felony crimes” (Source 3). Because Prince and Clementi were already bullied and Clementi was a gay male in college, the bullies deemed it acceptable to act out on their evil desires. Some may argue that, “Their suicides are evidence of deeper problems than bullying…Clementi’s bullies cruelly exploited that social prejudice, but they did not cause in” (Source 5) but this is easily denied. Many courts are trying to decipher whether...

...Word Count: 981 Jordan Lindsey English 15.002 Mrs. Wickman Argument Essay Lies, love, lust and betrayal are themes showed throughout the movie The Family that Preys; however Josh Tyler a movie Critic from Cinema Blend.com was not convinced. He thought it was the worst movie made in 2009, and that the only thing that saved it was its great performances by Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates and Academy Award-nominee Alfre Woodard; “[a]nd that warm, gooey glow that seems to follow every Tyler Perry movie.” The Family That Preys is a movie for anyone who likes close families, friendship, drama, and a whole bunch of nonsense. This movie is about a Wealthy Socialite, Charlotte Cartwright (Bates), and her close friend, Alice Pratt (Woodard), a working class woman. Their lives are turned upside down as their adult children's extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. In the review, John says, “Charlotte seems almost to suffer from a split personality disorder. When she’s with Alice she’s a freewheeling, kind, and generous woman. Whenever we see her without her friend, she’s a horrible rich bitch, ripped straight off the set of Dallas or Falcon Crest.” In the movie, Charlotte is never snobby or two faced. She puts on a hard exterior while working because she is fighting an endless battle with her son, William. He believes she has lost her spunk and is trying to excommunicate...

Tyler Perry has directed and starred in his own movies ranging from romance to comedy. He comes from every aspect, he isn’t afraid to do what other directors are afraid, deep heart felt movies about love and how forgiveness can change a lot. From he started in 1992 when he saved us his little twelve thousand dollars only thirty people came out to his show, but look what determination and focus can bring you. He is a mutli-millionaire now. So far he has written, directed and starred in eleven of his movies and counting, I never get tired of this movies they bring such a change each and every time. His plots were catchy but he changes them up from time to time, so when you think you got he switches it up on you. He goes for all audiences young and old. Diary of a mad black woman was very dramatic and in every way full of laughter and family reunion the same way he does so well with storytelling showing you from the beginning to the end. Diary of a Mad Black woman started off with the happiness in the beginning and showing how loving they are, he basically narrated the first part, then he shows the truth. I would think that this man has been married to a bunch of different woman and they all broke his heart or something because of the way he writes and directs as it if was him.

This movie is a contemporary view of African American lifestyles, culture, and life’s issues. Contemporary viewing in African American media is the direct result of how African Americans have worked hard, to overcome past struggles thus changing culture, ideals, beliefs, creating a new way for future generations.

...whether it is a comedy, actions, or documentary. Yet, our society gets influence by them in a type of way. Some movies brought a life lesson, and others provide a negative image about something. All movies or shows have a type of message behind it, but people never spends their time to analyze or think about it. Regardless of the type of movies, they always impact or influence someone’s life, or they learn from it. Beyond the scene and acting, there is a scene that contains messages that might caught one attention and make them stare and think for a little while. Those types of movies sometime bring joy and sometimes they bring tears. In the movie “the diary of a mad black woman “by Tyler Perry gives a lot of good examples also a life lesson.

...Tester Brilliant, brutal, overwhelming, a con job, those are all words that are being used to describe the new film �Precious,� which is based on the novel �Push� by Sapphire. It tells the story of a 16-year-old black girl living in Harlem in the Reagan years, whose impassive face and huge girth are no mask for the pain she is carrying - the pain of unrelenting physical and sexual abuse at the hands of both parents. But somehow she finds a way to survive. The film produced by entertainment superstars Oprah and Tyler Perry and produced and directed by Lee Daniels, who also produced such provocative films as �Monsters Ball� and �The Woodsman,� has already scooped up awards at various film festivals and been touted as Oscar material. But it has also opened up some difficult conversations about race and poverty, about sexual abuse, and about skin color, even about how black filmmakers portray dark-skinned people. In a few minutes, we'll talk about just how real �Precious� is. How real her story is. We'll talk to a human rights activist who advocates for incarcerated, women many of whom have been victims of exactly the kind of abuse depicted in the film. But first, we're going to talk about some of the cultural conversations being sparked by �Precious.� The online magazine the Root has published a number of pieces related to the film and two of the writers are with us now. Teresa Wiltz is the Roots' senior culture writer and she's also serving as interim managing editor. She's...

...Eng. 111 Thematic Movie Review My Life Without The Extras My life without the extras is depicted very eloquently in one of my favorite movies in the past year, The Single Moms Club. The Single Moms Club is a 2014 American comedy-drama film produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry. Released in theatres on May 9, 2014 and to DVD on July 22, 2014, The Single Moms Club is an adequate depiction of the struggles in the life of these single mothers. The lead actresses of this movie are Jan (Wendi McLendon-Covey), May (Nia Long), Esperanza (Zulay Henao), Hillary (Amy Smart), and Lytia (Cocoa Brown). In The Single moms club, schoolyard child’s play at an Atlanta prep school brings a diverse group of women to the principal's office. Their misfits were caught smoking and tagging at school, so these culture clashed women are tasked with organizing a dance and fundraiser as the “parental punishment.” The plot and the characters make The Single Moms Club the wonderful and home hitting movie that I will watch time and time again. The moms are a diverse bunch. Jan is a stern, all-business type trying to make partner where she works but not without the snotty attitude of her little trouble-making daughter. In one of the film's many coincidences, she recently rejected a story idea from May for being urban. May is a journalist and aspiring author, trying to guide her troubled son Rick through the rough waters of having a father that does what he wants but at the expense of...

Both of these comedians have struggled in order to find their true calling in life. Steve Harvey lost all his money because of past mistakes and slept in his car for two years. The same can be said for Tyler Perry who took all his money and made a bad investment which left him penniless and he also had to sleep in his car. These two men had the courage to bounce back after living homeless, sleeping in their cars, and have now become world- renowned icons in the comedy world. Tyler Perry is a better comedian than Steve Harvey because Tyler Perry does not use profanity and his style of comedy is acceptable to all ages. During a performance on television Steve Harvey was preparing to come onto the stage. The room was dark, full of cigarette smoke, people drinking, looking around at each other. Suddenly a light shined on the stage. Displayed was a big flashy sign with his signature in bright colors. The master of ceremonies ran out on the stage and yells “Ladies and gentlemen, put ya hands together and show ya love for Steveeeeee Harvaaaaaaay”.

...| What I Have Become | Sandtron Leon Harrell | | | | Approaching the end of my Fall Semester of 2011 I had accomplished one of the greatest things in my life. I had become a member Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated. All was well and I felt as though there was not too much else for me to conquer. Then as the semester drew to a close being advised and selecting classes for the Spring Semester began to be advertised all over myUWG.

I figured why not I’m in a personal relationship I should be able to relate. The first day of class was definitely not what I expected. I did not know that my teacher would look, think and talk like a student! From then on I knew that this was class was going to have the biggest impact on me, the way I thought, the way I talked, the way I evaluated relationships and how I looked at my life’s up and downs all together we’re going to change in due time. From the time I got advised up to the first day of class I honestly thought that this was just going to be another class. When in reality it wasn’t just another class, it was going to be THE class. From January 10, 2012 and so on, my life would...
