Where To Invade Next: Film Analysis
In Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore seeks to point out flaws in American public policy, by showing Europeans doing things better than us, through juvenalian satire, card stacking, and pathos. Michael Moore through his movie creates a satirical tone as many aspects of the movie are meant to point out the faults in America through European superiority. The documentary starts out with Moore being summoned to the Pentagon because every branch of the military “doesn’t know what the f--- we are doing…” This makes the movie more effective because the audience is liberal millennials and most of them have grown up in a world where America is fighting someone, and nothing is accomplished. Furthermore, as the movie plays out there are other examples

    The athletic clothing brand "Lululemon Athletica" (commonly known as Lululemon) was founded in Vancouver BC in 1998. The first Lululemon shared its retail space with a yoga studio.

    Sexual Assault was not a well-established topic until the 1970’s when victims of assault started to come forward with their stories.

The most well established part of mass media that tells the victim/survivor’s story in a more empowering way is movies.…

PCs were a relatively new commodity with little distinction, few competitors, and no government regulation, and although initial R&D was complex, assembly was simple. Unsurprisingly, new firms emerged quickly and forced Apple to differentiate its product over time. This push continued through the years, and ultimately, Apple was forced to create more innovative, unique, and quality products—a dynamic favorable to both Apple and the industry. At the same time, the industry’s dominant players were becoming established, reducing the threat of new entrants and solidifying Apple’s position.…
