A Character in Arrested Development Dr. Kathryn Rodriguez 3/18/2011 Human Growth and Development Amy Kathryn Simmons I watched a movie entitled “Dolores Claiborne” and intend to argue that the main character’s daughter, Selena St. George, is arrested in early adolescence, as well as a stage two moral development.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sony’s Jive Label Group (JLG) has been informed by YouTube that a homemade video titled JK Wedding Dance is using their copyrighted music without authorization. The video features a hip hop influenced dance at the wedding of Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz, performed to the music of JLG’s artist Chris Brown. Aided by the concept’s novelty and Brown’s distinctly heard music, the video has gone viral and garnered approximately 33 million views in the last six months. Brown’s public image has recently taken a beating owing to his conviction in a domestic violence case, and it has adversely impacted sales of his music.

Burnette's sister, Syd, is assigned to the same case as Lowrey and her brother. The police are having trouble hunting down evidence to convict Tapia resulting in Syd having to go undercover for five months, almost killing herself in a car chase, while Smith proves that he can drive and shoot at the same time and Lawrence checks to see how effective it is to shoot inside the vehicle rather than out. The peak of the movie is reached when there is a major shoot out in Cuba. Compared to the first Bad Boys movie this one for me definitely leaves its predecessor in the shadows after a long waited eight years. Nothing in this film is done in moderation...there's at least one million bullets fired in one scene alone!
