communication. I will be discussing the film Hotel Rwanda while analyzing the different intercultural barriers and diversity issues that are presented within the film. Hotel Rwanda was released in 2004 and based on the story of the heroic acts of Paul Rusesabagina‚ played by Don Cheadle‚ during the Rwandan Genocide in the spring of 1994. Paul Ruseabagina was a hotel manager at the Hotel Des Mille Collines when these atrocities began. He managed to house over a thousand Tutsi refugees during the war that

An example of this is the family of Paul Rusesabagina‚ in the movie‚ Hotel Rwanda; his family is composed of two different races‚ Paul who is a Hutu‚ and his wife‚ Tatiana‚ who is a Tutsi. Single parent family is a family that can be either a father or a mother who is singly responsible for the raising of a child. They may be a single parent by choice or

start fresh. In some ancient civilizations‚ the people have learned to cope with the problem of not having technology. The revolution of destiny is a result of a person’s geography. In a movie called Hotel Rwanda it describes a man named Paul Rusesabagina who lives in the middle of a civil war in Nigeria that was currently being torn apart by two groups. These two groups were called the Hutu and the Tutsi. In this movie the strong connection between destiny and geography can be seen. Despite Paul

He also had liquor‚ food‚ cash‚ and other resources to help him and his hotel guests survive through the genocide that lasted for a couple days. On the other hand all Elie had to live while imprisoned during the Holocaust was his will to live. Rusesabagina had much more resources to work with‚ but like he said his main defense was his

Interest Group An issue that matters to me is the stopping of gun violence. Some facts I found is that people can buy guns at gun shows without background checks in 33 states. The gun lobby‚ led by the NRA‚ has given over $21 million to Congress since 1990 through the sales of firearms. An important one is that every 20 minutes‚ a person dies from gun violence in America. If guns weren’t so easy to access it would be a lot harder for these incidents to happen. I found an interest group that believes

A hero is a person who’s responsible and a good role model. A hero is also someone who has done something meaningful in his/her life. It is universally accepted that both Paul Rusesabagina and Oskar Schindler are examples of extraordinary people who accomplished incredible feats by standing up for good in the face of evil‚ such as crimes against humanity and genocide. They were men that helped people other than their selves and actually cared what happens to those other people. They were not selfish

One is able to see that the film itself is that of a typical Hollywood film‚ as it depicts hope and positivity throughout‚ as can be seen with the portrayal of the Rusesabagina family‚ who is able to stay positive and survive throughout the movie (Source H). However‚ during the Rwandan genocide many Tutsi and moderate Hutu families could not stay positive and lost all hope as they did not know if they would survive the

1. Rusesabagina writes that “a false view of history is a toxin in the bloodstream.” How have you experienced this is your own life? Is there such a thing as a completely true view of history? It seems as though wherever there is a disagreement between two people‚ each of them always has a different story. Given this‚ two friends of mine fought over a bet they had made. One said the bet was for $20 while the other disagreed that they had never shaken hands to declare it. This is a prime example
