Identify a character in the film that presented both their public and private self
 I believe that Anthony is a character that showed both his public and private self throughout the film. He was very opinionated about not liking white people and he did not care about what people thought of it. Anthony was very proud to be an African American and it showed throughout the movie. You also got to see a softer side of him towards the end when he discovered the van full of foreign women and children. Instead of selling them like they were brought over to the country for, he decided to let them go free. This showed a very caring and sensitive side of Anthony that we didn’t get to see in the beginning of the movie.

Identify a scene in the film that offered a good example of perception and emotion
 I believe a good example of perception and emotion was when the Persian store owner went to the Mexican locksmiths house to get revenge because he believed the locksmith is the one who terrorized and robbed his store. He took the gun he had purchased with intentions to kill the locksmith, and when he gets to the house they get into a confrontation. The Mexican’s little girl was looking out the door and when she seen the Persian man pull the gun out she ran out to protect her daddy because she had her “magic necklace” on. As she is running out her daddy grabs her to protect her from the bullet that was fired by the Persian. This particular scene showed a lot of perception and emotion by how upset and hurt the Persian man was about his store, to him going to retaliate against the Mexican. You could feel the pain and remorse of the Mexican man when he thought his daughter was shot, but you also see his relief when she wasn’t. He didn’t even retaliate back, he was just glad his little girl was ok and took his family in the house.

    Using the Moral Development theory describes Cameron actions as being Conventional, which Kohlberg states at the age of 10-13 you respect higher authorities. When the police stopped Cameron and his wife he was showing respect to the officers because he learned at an early age to respect higher authority. Christian on the other hand who was drunk was acting post-conventional stating that she obviously experienced something above the age of 10-13 that morally made her go against respecting those of higher authority and in this case a police officer. Than there was when Racial/Cultural Identity Development Model comes in to play such as Dissonance. Cameron and Christine both became aware that racism exists. Officer John made it clear that he had no respect for African Americans, once he sexually assaulted Christine in front of Cameron. After this incident and Christine reaction to her husband allowing the officer to sexually assault her brought up the Biological theory Principle 1 the protection of life. Christine felt that her husband did not protect her and Erickson’s psychosocial theory comes into play because Christine began to consider feelings of mistrust towards both Cameron and Officer John. Cameron wife reactions to him made him feel a sense of inferiority, because he allowed someone to violate his wife in his presents and he started to question his own personal beliefs whether or not he had done the right thing by obeying the law. His Ego allowed him to respect the law; Cameron Super-Ego gave him feelings of guilt where later he exhibited post-conventional behavior towards higher authority because of the experience he had earlier on in the movie.…

    However, he is much more insincere. Anthony perpetually complains of the those that follow stereotypes, yet follows certain stereotypes himself. He is aware of the fact that he is black, and believes that virtually everything within the world may just be a plot from white people to bring "the black man" down. Just like Farhad, Anthony tries to shield himself from the globe that he believes is against him. However, him believing that white people are out to get black people is a stereotype in itself; therefore, he is a cheat. There are numerous examples of Anthony being afraid of white people. He will not get on the bus because he believes that "white people put big ass windows on them to embarrass the people of color forced to ride it." He will not tip waitresses as a result of they "think black individuals do not tip." He refuses to listen to music like rap or pop, which was created as a standard by the black world, as he believes it is a way to for white people to take advantage of black people. What is confusing regarding Anthony's character is that while he hates the stereotype of black individuals being thugs and gangsters, he continues to steal cars from white people, and believes he is doing right for the black community. This is additionally odd as a result of the fact that he has morals against robbing from a black person, however he does not have morals against robbing a white person.…

    Racism has been a big issue since the beginning of time. We have dealt with racism for as long as I can remember. In the movie crash, they deal with racism conflicts. In the beginning of the movie, two white cops pulls over a couple and once the cop saw they were an African American couple, he tells them to step out of the car even though they did nothing wrong. The cop in the movie took his anger out on the couple because earlier he was having issues with the insurance company and the guy who helped him was black. He felt that he was mistreated by the guy at the insurance company and decided to take his anger out on the African American couple. He should have not taken his anger out on this couple because he felt he was mistreated by a black male. He could have pulled them over and ask to see the driver license and insurance, instead of telling them to step out of the car immediately like they had done something wrong. Racism is the biggest issue our society faces today.…

    In both the novels “The Sound of Waves” (By Yukio Mishima) & “The Woman at Point Zero” (Nawal El Saadawi), many motifs have been used to show strong emotions within the characters of both novels. But, the most important motif which reoccurs in both novels is the “eyes”. Since eyes are described as the “mirror of the soul” (a German proverb), they are successfully used by El Saadawi and Mishima to describe feelings of their chracters.These eyes portray their aggressive and sometimes their peaceful emotions, which shapes the plot also. Therefore, by analysing this motif of eyes, one can gain insight into how efficiently the authors have used them to demonstrate their emotions.…

Talking about emotions, I am evoking them as the one thing that reveal unintentionally, most of our unique personal characteristics. I hope to know more about this in both psychology and philosophy, how does it transform from the way we feel to create our facial expressions in particular. I am also interested in gaining more knowledge about the emotions classification.…

    These touching emotions are arranged in chords and discords, must fit the exact tone of the real emotion, and must be practiced for years for proper mimicry. An actor's talent depends on perfectly executing the outer signs of feeling, so the audience "falls into the trap" (200). A great actor decides on an exact point in the script to deliver the emotion, leaving the actor's mind free of needless, draining, and distracting emotion, only exerting their bodily strength. The actor knows they are not the character, but the audience has that…

    Anthony’s view of people from another colour, race, gender or economic class was strongly offensive, he assumed that “white people” were always racist towards blacks. “Did you see any white people waiting an hour and a half for spagagetti”(Haggis, 2004) Anthony was under the impression that although the waitress was black, she saw that they were black and were not going to tip. Anthony’s views of any other race they his own, is very negative, but in his eyes African American people should all stick together, and never go against each other.…

    In Theory of Knowledge the emotions are treated as one of the four ways of knowing, together with language, reason and perception. Since the emotions have traditionally been seen as more of an obstacle to knowledge than a source of it, this may initially seem surprising. There are some good reasons for the traditional suspicion of the emotions; for an angry, frightened or infatuated person is unlikely to see clearly or reason well. That is why we…
