They were fed up with this type of illusionary film and that’s when they decided to create the Vow of Chastity which had its own set of rules to determine if a film was Dogma 95 or not. The second Dogma 95 film The Idiots takes a problem like retardation and makes it liberating. In this film people pretending to be retarded try to prove a point by leaving their regular middle class lives and revolting by ultimately spassing. The film Dogville is the complete opposite of any Dogma 95 film with an imaginary set with no walls, Von Trier attempts to criticize small town America. In this essay I will compare the film Dogville to The Idiots and show how it refutes the ideas developed around a Dogma 95 film.

Can Political Turnout Be Measured Other than By Electoral Turnout? (25 Marks) The measurement of the Political turnout is the extent of a population that gets involved in politics, while the electoral turnout is the percentage of the eligible electorate that voted. It could be said you could measure political turnout other than by electoral turnout as there are other forms of political turnout in which participation is increasing. An example is “Buycotting”, where members of the public deliberately choose one brand over another, to force the brand to change. The large power of Buycotting forced McDonalds to introduce salads, as people stopped eating there because of how unhealthy the food on offer was.
Does obesity and poverty go hand in hand? Are the poor getting fatter, while the rich get skinnier? The correlation between obesity and poverty is quite simple, healthier foods are more expensive, and most people who don’t have money don’t have gym memberships and have more of a sedentary lifestyle. When going into any “health food store”, you will notice immediately the price difference between healthy foods and junk foods. Fruits, vegetables, unprocessed foods, organic, and lean meats are all expensive.
Living appears to be a luxury for these poor workers; their American dream is deformed. To make the capitalist society into a competitive and ruthless Darwinism jungle, the most often used metaphor in The Jungle is animal. Sinclair parallels the workers with weak creatures or rough beasts to dehumanize them and make the readers treat them with extra sympathy. "… … he [Jurgis] lived like a dumb beast of burden, knowing only the moment in which he was"(140). "Then Jurgis fought like a wild beast … …"(202).
We don’t shop to survive anymore we, we survive to shop.\\We don’t eat to live anymore, “we live to eat.” We have become a society that likes to spend lavishly on goods and services just so that we can show them off. Affluenza causes debt, stress and problems in relationships. Affluenza affects many people of all ages, sex and backgrounds. Teenagers in this day and age are even affected by it. They have the need to have the latest brand name clothes, cell phones, music and video games.
Psychology of Rudeness You walk around screaming into that Bluetooth headset like you’re the only person for miles. Driving to work like a maniac displaying gestures of questionable gratitude to every other car on the road actually makes you feel better. Your kids think the world is their toilet bowl, with loud profanity and disrespect spewing out of their mouths like it’s their job. There is a serious lack of respect and courtesy in this country, and this is developing into a serious problem. Many blame this growing epidemic on increasing social isolation.
Secondly, the authors point out that environment of fast cars has a tendency to discourage people’s daily activities. In other words, consistent motoring leads to a significant decrease of the time available for regular exercise. Thirdly, the writers urge that obesity should be the most disreputable example resulting from excess consumption of fast cars/fast foods. It is because extra calories are being taken into inactive bodies, then people get fat. In addition, according to the authors, the reason of obesity is not hereditary but the mode of people eating and living.
In his article “Don't Blame the Eater” David Zinczenko has pointed out that all the fast food industries are the one responsible for making the children's in America fat and unhealthy. Zinczenko believes that the fast food centers aren't providing any kind of warnings about the effects and extra calories that a fast food can cause, instead they are eager to supply their so called “cheap and tasty fast food”. When he was young he had no choice except for eating at fast food centers as his mother was busy earning money to pay the bills because of which he ended up overweight. According to my view, I believe that it isn't the fast food industries who are to be blamed, it is the parents. Eventhough nowadays all the parents have to work long hours to earn their living but still they shouldn't forget their responsibility towards their children.
With a sense of entitlement, characters like Tom Buchanan and Daisy Buchanan talk down to other people. Tom Buchanan’s wealth has changed him to carry a superior arrogance over others. “Here is your money. Go and buy ten more dogs with it.” (Fitzgerald, 28) When Tom gives his money away he acts arrogant about it by giving away more than he needed. This not only shows his carelessness for money but that he means to act smug about it.
