Yet how is it that we are able to understand other people’s perspectives when they can be so far removed from our own? Composers, time and time again, draw upon their pivotal position of influence and manipulation over perspective to engage and enthrall their audience into understanding their own point of views. Compelling use of textual form can be seen in the timeless Shakespearean drama Julius Caesar as well as John Patrick Stanley’s provocative film Doubt that effectively empowers the audience to reach new and diverse perspectives. Although these texts may differ blatantly, the unique methods of textual form used by both composers effectively shape and mould our understanding of the complex notion of conflicting perspectives. Our perspectives of people are often reliant on other people’s own perspectives and opinions of someone.
Sara would use her fantasy stories to fill the void whenever she missed her father or felt hopeless. An adult watching (ALP) the story remains unique and believable.

Some feel the need to adapt to their environment, simply for the approval and acceptance of others. In “A Streetcar Named Desire” Stella’s love for Stanley alters not only her principles, but her beliefs. She evolves her mentality around Stanley’s to make the relationship work. This is especially evident when Stella refuses to accept the rape. At this point she has sunken to Stanley’s level and it is clear that she develops her morals in accordance to his.
For example, Smith (2001) maintains that transformational leadership uses a combination of charisma and interpersonal skills to enable achievement. However, identifying potential transformational leaders may be a difficulty if the pre-requisite for identifying charismatic individuals is an integral part of this selection process. Jones (2004) argues that the key ability of a transformational leader is the ability to empower others, while Fea (2001) maintains that their key strength is to increase feelings of self-worth and capability in their team members. On reflection, my own experience of transformational leadership appeared to be based principally on being
Identity is defined as “the distinct personality of an individual regarded as a persisting entity; individuality”. It is a vital factor that plays an essential part in our lives as it provides for us a sense of uniqueness and the ability to identify ourselves with others. Humans, being sociable creatures by nature, identify themselves through their relationship with friends, family, colleagues and other social groups; these interactions deliver a sense of privilege and belonging especially within one’s own family. As this is an ever changing phenomenon, many challenges are faced on the path of finding our true identity and the place we truly belong. These issues are explored profoundly in texts; Looking for Alibrandi, and Night, in which the characters face many complex and emotional events that question whether they truly belong to and can they identify themselves as being a part of their immediate families.

The underlying theme of love and betrayal connects the readers understanding of love in Gallagher’s feature article 2 of us John and Bec (2012) and betrayal in Sam Mendes’s 1999 film American Beauty. These texts all reveal that the choices we make impact our lives and the lives of others therefore they present challenge, however, the severity of that challenge is determined by our decision making process. Shakespeare’s Elizabethan tragedy Antony and Cleopatra conveys that when making a choice we must be reasonable and consider the other people involved or else the impact will pose an unfavorable challenge. In Act 1 Scene 1 the metaphor “The triple pillar of the world transform’d into a strumpet’s fool” reveals to the audience that Antony, the once great leader is losing strength and power because he is involved with Cleopatra, who has a reputation of being promiscuous and manipulative. This theory is supported in the dialogue that follows when Cleopatra asks Antony the direct question “If it be love indeed, tell me how much” this conveys her
Contrary to this, the formation of negative qualities such as brutality and cruelty could also be the result of conflict. The film, Paradise Road, focuses on the three protagonists; Adrienne, Susan and Rosemary, as they all show their unique responses to the conflict they encountered during the harsh situation they faced. However, through all their differences, they found a sense of unity through aspects of their experiences. Adrienne defies her survival instincts and uses the vocal orchestra, for example, to personify the voice of a common humanity, using the delicate reverberations of melody to find commonality and peace in spite of all their differences. This is also an excellent demonstration of the formation of
Both conflicts are important as they can either act as an insight into a character’s mind, serve as a moral to the story, or even as a way to show relationships between characters. In “Chronicle” there is a love conflict where the ‘labeling’ as to who is ‘evil’ and who is ‘good’ is greatly affected by both the reader’s perception and the character’s perception. This conflict is between Bayardo and Angela – he rejected her when he discovered that she was not actually a virgin. This conflict was revealed when Bayardo brought Angela back to her house, where she was then beaten by her mother. In this case, even when some readers might agree with the character’s perceptions, their reactions are thought of as too exaggerated and unnecessary.
The Zeffirelli version of Shakespeare's Hamlet is an example of a successful portrayal, creating emotions of discontent and passion for the audience. The overall direction of this production is effective because of the cast and scenery. Franco Zeffirelli does a fantastic job of depicting discontent throughout the move. To begin, he adds in a scene technically not in the play: Hamlet Sr.'s funeral. Hamlet stares as his mother behaves melodramatically.
