It gives an insight on how difficult and how persevered the candidates of our times are, and how strong willed they are. Excluding the sadistic senator determined to make her son president, it overall details how self-conscious it is for candidates to persist and succeed in their careers. This greatly relates to psychology in multiple ways. Firstly, it depicts the affects of hypnosis, which is being “activated” by a command that has been programmed mentally. The command in this movie would be “ Ben Marco?
During this time, Ben and others platoon members are trying to figure out what is happening. Ben finally realizes that the Queen of Diamonds is the stimulus of the brain washing and talks to Raymond before his mom gives Shaw his instructions. Eleanor, who Raymond hates, tells Raymond to kill the presidential nominee in order to take control of the White
Atonement by: Dexter Filkins 1.) Starting out as a wild teenager in Las Vegas, Lu Lobello became a troubled veteran by the age of thirty-one. The Marines had attacked many Iraqis but one family stood out among all the others. The Kachadooreans lost their father/husband and 2 brothers/sons on April 8, 2003. Lu began his search trying to find this family by reading articles on the war that took place and searching for names on Facebook.
One of the brothers named Henry receives a letter from the United States Government stating that he has been drafted into the Marines due to the Vietnam war at the time. In the middle of the story Henry returns home from the war. Once home, It is apparent to the family and Henry's brother Layman that Henry has changed. Henry isn't the same man he was when he left for the war, Henry is quiet, angry, paranoid, and never stationary. This brings conflict into the story, Lyman struggles to awaken his brothers old self by trashing their beloved red convertible in an attempt to get his brother Henry to return to his normal self.
As I stated earlier, the purpose of this film was to get Americans to support the war. I believe that the audience of this film was Americans who were not exactly sure if they agreed with America being involved in the war. In my opinion, this film was successful in helping Americans change their views on the war. I think that Americans saw how Rick was able to change from a selfish, cynical man who did not care about the politics happening around him, to a pro-interventionist who did his best to help the fight against the Nazis by letting Ilsa leave with Victor. Before this film I am sure that many Americans were like Rick and did not care much for politics or war, but after, I believe many changed their views and felt they needed to stand united and support the fight against the Nazis.
The people in the movie did not take being part of the government very seriously and that is why all of this mishap happened to begin with. Towards the end of the movie, Dave confronts the United States people about all the faults of the real president, Bill Mitchell. In the end of the movie everything starts to get cleared up and the vice president becomes the president directly after the United States people were told about Bill Mitchell’s death. That was a good way of using governmental power because they did not hide his death from the people of the United States. I learned a lot from this assignment.
They also agreed that corruption was a huge issue in both legislative and executive branches of government. In addition, he shows his viewers that the majority of civilians do not know the answer as to why Americans are fighting today but do agree that preventing terrorism is part of the reason. The government has failed over and over again to give a direct answer as to what type of “terrorism” is threatening our country and has left Americans in the
As people were not able to have a “connection” towards the candidates, they felt outcaste to what was really happening. “One of the great contributions expected of television lay in its presumed capacity to inform and stimulate the political interest of the American electorate. (Source A)” It also decides on whether or not the network company decides to broadcast certain interviews the way they were interviewed. All the potential is there for television to help inform the American public with the promised contributions to the country. The news source needs to help make the broadcasted presidential debate more about the issues and less about the image.
One of the most controversial conflicts in our Nations history is definitely the Vietnam War. Today there is a lot of skepticism with America’s involvement in the War and I believe the biggest thing that gave people so much skepticism is the media’s portrayal of the War. The mainstream news stations of the time seemed to care more about entertainment, trying to get the most interesting story in order to keep their ratings high and keep people on the edge of their seat. The Documentary we watched in class gave a good look at how the media was more into story telling and less into giving people the facts that they deserve. I think that the film did a really good job at exposing the media for it’s horrible performance during the Vietnam War.
Even inside the borders of our great nation, the Constitution shows that it’s still relevant to the American society. For example, the 27th amendment says that Congressmen and women can’t raise their salary while in office. If this amendment weren’t in place, then our debt wouldn’t be to China; instead it would be to the Congressional Officers of the United State government. Now to reference into foreign countries again; in some countries like South Africa, the right of women’s and colored person’s suffrage isn’t allowed. In other countries like Libya the right to vote is granted to no one because they are either under a dictatorship or the entire country is in mass chaos.
