of emotions in everyday lives. The handling of interpersonal conflict if done properly can strengthen the relationship to which the conflict originated but if handled poorly it can cause great and irreparable damage. In my viewing of the film American Beauty‚ it revealed that there was an interpersonal conflict between the two characters Colonel Frank Fitts and his son Ricky Fitts that was not handled effectively (Cohen & Mendes‚ 1999). Conversely‚ there is the elemental question that a lies with

It is common for people to transfer feelings from their parents to their partners or children (i.e.‚ cross-generational entanglements). For instance‚ one could mistrust somebody who resembles an ex-spouse in manners‚ voice‚ or external appearance‚ or be overly compliant to someone who resembles a childhood friend.

portrayed since the 1950’s‚ I have chosen to explore the ‘Welcome to Suburbia’ scene in ‘American Beauty’ (from: 00:40–2:35‚ into the film) and the opening scene of the pilot of ‘Desperate Housewives’ (from: 00:00-01:15‚ into the episode). I have chosen these two scenes because they are very similar to each other and show how composers use a range of techniques to engage the audience and create meaning. ‘American Beauty’‚ directed by Sam Mendes‚ is a film that is set in America‚ in an ordinary suburban

The standard for American beauty is corrupt; it negatively affects women’s self-esteem and body image. This “standard” needs to be changed because there is no true definition of beauty. In society‚ beauty is based on appearance – hair style‚ body image and body shape‚ skin color/ethnicity‚ clothes‚ tattoos‚ piercings‚ etc. This corruption comes from the media‚ which have aided in the creation and evolution of American culture. A powerful and beautiful way to help society become further aware of this

The American Dream is not all as it seems. It is dark‚ it is fake and it is an allusion depicting family life in an unreal way. Good morning Ladies and Gents. As I just said‚ the American Dream is not all that as it seems and Sam Mendes’s “American Dream” and Derrick Borte’s “The Joneses” both demonstrate this idea. This is communicated through the dialogue of the main characters and their socio-economic and physical environments that they inhabit. By utilising the structure and themes‚ American Beauty

 In American Beauty‚ 1999‚ directed by Sam Mendes‚ we are confronted with the permeating images that have consumed mainstream American life. Mendes exploits these images as constructions that we created around ourselves as a means of hiding our true selves. Mendes is able to implicate us in the construction and make us active viewers by exploiting our voyeuristic nature. In American Beauty Mendes uses the voyeuristic tendencies of the spectator to acknowledge the permeating constructed

The psychoanalysis of the characters from Othello allowed me to understand the way Desdemona acted throughout the play and how come she took the abuse that Othello gave her. Like Othello‚ Desdemona is a controversial character that has a role in determining the outcome of the play. At the start of the play we see Desdemona as a strong‚ outspoken and behaves in a way that is outrageous in her society. She has fallen in love with a man of a different race‚ country‚ and color; and she is so determined
