    The Notebook

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    The movie Twelve Angry Men begins with an eighteen year old boy from the ghetto who is on trial for the murder of his abusive father. A jury of twelve men is locked in the deliberation room to decide the fate of the young boy. All evidence is against the boy and a guilty verdict would send him to die in the electric chair. The judge informs the jurors that they are faced with a grave decision and that the court would not entertain any acts of mercy for the boy if found guilty. The mood is apparent at first when the majority of the men vote "guilty" and it almost seems as this man's fate is sealed. Juror #8 was the only man to vote for "not guilty".…

    I believe in the beginning the 2 main jurors who were basing their decisions on prejudice were mainly Jurors #3 and #10. Juror #3 more based on prejudices of young men, particularly because he had such a horrendous relationship with his own son, I feel like this case really hit him close to home and really affected him in a personal way. I believe he let his feelings got in the way of his logical thinking and was practically projecting the anger he had towards his son towards the young men on trial, who had been accused of a horrible crime against his father. Juror #10 was more prejudice of the young suspects race, making statements like; “You know how they are,” and “They’re all the same, all born liars”.…

    Within each text a significant decision is made where a strong influence has affected it. There were different factors impacting on a character’s decision in each of the texts such as culture. This was displayed in the text The Kite Runner through the main character Amir, because he decides not to help his friend, who is furthermore his servant, from being attacked and raped by the neighbourhood bullies. This choice is related to the idea of culture because Hassan belongs to the Hazara race which is considered to be the minority group throughout Afghanistan, whereas Amir is a Pashtun and they are deemed to be higher up in the society. Amir is confused about what to do when this horrific event takes place, but what isn’t very obvious from Amir’s emotions is that he unconsciously thinks there is no wrong in this sinful act of rape. Because he has been brought up and told that the Hazara race are minorities in Afghanistan, Amir starts to wonder why would it begin to matter now that another has been treated badly which shows us that culture had influenced Amir’s decision to do nothing while Hassan is raped. The idea of influences affecting decisions is also demonstrated in the film Slumdog Millionaire. The characters Jamal and Salim, who are brothers, and a girl named Latika, make choices that are influenced…

    In the film The Hunger Games, directed by Gary Ross, an overall theme is conveyed, that wealth rules society. Ross utilises carefully chosen content and effectively used production techniques to compare the Capitol with the Districts to demonstrate this theme throughout the film, particularly the establishing scenes, the hovercraft, and the reaping, whilst also highlighting similarities to real life. The film opens with an interview, to create a contrast between the opulence of the Capitol and the poverty of the districts from the very beginning. The interview between Caesar Flickerman and Seneca Crane, the head game maker, features studio lighting and camera techniques typical of reality television.…

    Millionaire Next Door

    After reading The Millionaire Next Door, Stanley, the author, made me see a different view on the word millionaire and what it actually takes to be one. The basic concept that the book proposes is that the general comprehension of what a millionaire is actually incorrect and not what majority of the people in the world believes it is. In fact, a millionaire’s lifestyle is quite the opposite of what we see on television and on the news. According to Stanley, an average millionaire actually lives a simple lifestyle and not the flamboyant and extravagant one. Stanley suggested a different outlook of what a typical millionaire in today’s world is, and now I understand the concept of becoming a millionaire in addition how to maintain being a millionaire.…

    12 Angry men presented moral dilemma of twelve jurors. The moral dilemma is of justice and prejudice as we see throughout the movie. A moral person does the right thing for the group or society as a whole, not just what’s right for themselves or another person at any given time. Juror number 8 creates his own dilemma because he believes that the boy is not guilty. He seeks answers to the dilemma himself by bringing up the uncertainties of case presented in court. He does not turn to religious beliefs. He followed societal mores of the time. Juror number 8 could have easily just gone with the norm and found the guy guilty. Instead he went against everyone to stand for what he believed was right. That’s what I believe a person with good morals is.…

    Welcome gentlemen of the jury, I am here to prove why the accused is guilty for murdering an innocent victim. At the time of the crime scene there were two witnesses who claim that the accused murdered the victim. One of the witnesses was an old man that lived above the accused apartment who heard the victim and the accused arguing, the second witness who lived across the street was an old lady who saw the victim get attacked by the accused with a knife. The weapon that the accused used to attack the victim at the time was called a ‘switch knife’, the evidence I will be proving today is why the accused is guilty for his taken actions he did to the victim.…
