...X-Game In this time, I choose this movie which is X-Game. This movie was made by Japan. The story is basically a revenge tale. When main characters were elementary school student, bullying which was called X-Game was done to only her. She was not cute and depressed, so she was bullied from main characters. Bullying was decided by lottery which was made by a paper. Those things which were written penalty were put lottery into red box. After 12 years, the bullied girl thinks that forces her attackers to play much more violent version of the game to main characters. This game was made by a secret organization. They captures these bullies and sets them up for her. This game rules were a little bit change from previous game. Main characters had to perfectly do drawn penalty while just 3 minutes. This penalty became harder than received her. For example, one game forces one victim to sit on a chair full of spikes and barbed wire, another game has a victim chug a ridiculous amount of milk, and a challenge has them burn the hair of another. If they could not do this penalty, they got special penalty. While they handled one penalty after another penalty, their friendship, plot of secret organization, and feeling which wanted to live by some means appeared more and more. Bullying which is expressed by this psychological thriller movie is a big problem in the current world. Why did this movie express bullying? I think that bullying gradually is increasing in the current world, and a lot...

...Red Bull: The Anti-Brand Brand The loyal customers of Red Bull drinks are very passionate about the brand. In my opinion the effect that Red Bull has on consumers, not only the drink formula, but also the advertisement, makes Red Bull to meet the customer expectations, and in return the company gains their loyalty. Overall, Red Bull is widely recognized as a leader in content marketing. The most important thing that the mainstream brands can learn from Red Bull, is the ability to create your own market as a company. The company targeted costumers, who would be excited of the new product. Mainly they focused on the youth population, the people who are always party, search for excitement and adrenalin etc. By sponsorship of extreme sport events, they introduce the company products` as extreme. But rather than sponsoring events, Red Bull also developed its own extreme sports, this was innovation in some way, since they were the first company that implemented this marketing strategy. BMX biking, kite boarding, extreme snowboarding, paragliding etc, all these sports are dangerous, adrenaline-fuelled and on the edge, and Red Bull become associated with those activities. To attract more the young population, they organized music events. Red Bull became a popular drink for the young generation to mix it with alcohol. The adults oppose to this way of consuming alcohol, and I know that in my own experience. The other thing that the competitors can learn for sure is the profile that Red...

They also explore how facing a challenge can inspire people. Facing the challenge FTC_booklet_282644.indd 3 3 12/12/07 2:18:04 pm In this article, Louise Rogers tries to understand why young people are attracted to extreme sports. You can now go deep sea diving without oxygen and do parachute jumping from space. These activities are apparently some of the latest examples of extreme sports. They certainly sound extremely dangerous, and it’s tempting to call them extremely stupid too. You begin to wonder what people will do next: white water rafting without the raft? Skateboarding down Everest? What exactly are extreme sports anyway? According to sports expert Angie Naidoo, they are action sports usually done by someone on their own rather than in a team. ‘Extreme sports involve more than one of the following: speed, height, danger or spectacular stunts,’ explains Angie. ‘They are also often about challenging some aspect of the natural world, whether it’s defying gravity or scaling a very high mountain. They are not all as extreme as parachuting from space! And extreme sports are not just a recent trend either: skiing, skateboarding, in-line...

...There are many aspects of the sports world that could be considered controversial, and one of these are dangerous sports. Dangerous sports can be considered anything ranging from mixed martial arts, to base jumping, or bicycle motocross (BMX). These sports in themselves are considered to be controversial due to the potential risk of injury by the participants. For the purposes of this marketing plan, it would be wise to utilize only mixed martial arts. In the attempts to persuade my manager to allow the use of dangerous sports in this marketing campaign, the pros and cons of this plan need to be addressed. These pros can include that this plan could entice a younger demographic to express interest in the product this company would be offering....

My little sister is very competitive when it comes to winning. Eager to have a slight taste of victory was all it took for her to get into “Game Mode” as I would like to call it.

Dalia, my little sister, and I arrived outdoors to play a game of soccer. I dashed towards the goal with the soccer ball in front of me ecstatically thinking that I was on my way to making a goal. Unexpectedly, my sister catches up and steals the ball away from me. Surprised, I tried to steal it from her but failed as I heard the ball hit the net...
