One thing I was sure about is that my magnificent professor never steers her students wrong and that that evening’s festivities was sure to be a learning experience; and it was. First, the awards that were presented were great. I absolutely love the ‘quiet hero’ title because it gives recognition to the people who do great things for their communities. Dr. Zimbardo believes that every community possesses an individual or a group of individuals who deserves recognition for daily acts of heroism. Heroism can come in the form of many things, and Dr. Zimbardo most likely feels the same way I do pertaining to that.
The Hero Journey of Captain WThe Hero Journey of Captain Steven Hiller Captain Steven Hiller played an extremely important role in the movie Independence Day, and portrayed a phenomenal example of the hero journey. I really enjoyed this character and thought that Will Smith was an excellent choice for the part. With the action packed thrill that was stuffed in every word it kept you on your feet while still giving a clear understanding of how each character was meant to play out, which in this case was by the hero journey. In understanding how this is connected it is important to carefully analyze every significant example Steven Hiller acts out and compare it to the steps of the hero journey. So, if you look at the three main parts: A)Departure, B)Fulfillment, and C)Return it is fairly easy for virtually anyone to see that Steven Hiller obviously did each of these.
We will mainly discuss the leaders’ influence in building an effective team. How can leaders affect others to get the best of teams? An effective team is a kind of team with high performances. We can also say that this kind of teams can achieve everything in its main path. They share the similar elements: they all have a clear and effective structure; they all have an extremely good leader; they all embrace the accountability to have things done and mutual respect; they all have an efficient communication system and they all have learned from the past and enjoy the new things.
Priestley strongly believed that everyone had some responsibility for others in society and not just their own welfare. He realised that change was coming and explores this theme in his play. Priestley believed that events are repeated over again unless people face up to their past activities, like Eric and Sheila do, and only this can bring about a positive and equal change in society. At the start of the play, Act 1, Mr Birling is portrayed to the audience as quite a self confident and opinionated person who doesn’t believe in “collective responsibility”. He feels he
Watching Othello, I already knew the underlined themes and symbolism, etc. because I had gone over it in previous classes; however, while I was watching the play I tried to block out what I “imagined” had occurred versus what the director’s vision of the play was. One of the reasons I do not like to read a play before watching it is because it conflicts with my vision or version of what it would have been. For instance, I imagined Iago as a very sinful villain and not as slick as he was played; however I can see both character directions. None the less, the play and actors were very good and I loved how the director made use of the space.
The foremost target of satire in Candide is the philosophy of Candide’s first tutor, Dr. Pangloss. Pangloss seems to be a well-learned man whom a highly impressionable character like Candide would easily follow and listen to. According to Pangloss’ theory, no matter how terrible or dramatic an event could seem to be, it was all apart of a great plan in which everything would turn out for the best. Candide’s belief that where he lived and how was the best it could have been at the start of the tale indicate that his trust in Pangloss’ doctrine could be seen as justified, as would his respect for his teacher. Candide proclaims his appreciation of his tutor by calling him; “The greatest Philosopher of the whole province, and consequently, of the whole world” (Voltaire 12).
It is one of my personal favorite films because of its simple, but provoking storyline, wich director Frank Darabont managed to pull off in a classic style, making it feel like a timeless piece of cinematography. In addition to this, I believe the acting is great, particulary Morgan Freeman, who seems to ass an impeccable degree of realism to his character ‘Red’. I think we should watch it in our English class because it is a film that everybody should see at least once in their live, because it is highly recommended by various polls
Good Communication Skills it is observed that most of the world leaders had good oratory skills. They used to talk and communicate with passion and commitment. They always made their points clear, and gave the right message at the right time. In today's world too, strategic leadership with good communication and propaganda methods is necessary to spread one's thoughts across the target groups. Effective Human Resource Management As someone rightly said, good leaders don't just lead, they bring out the best in everybody else too.
What would a movie be without a flawless cast? Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays the main protagonist as Dom Cobb, puts on a perfect performance in Inception. The other cast members such as Ellen Page and Joseph Levitt play out their parts so well that it engulfs the viewer with the right amount of emphasis to believe their reality. I believe that the Inception crew was perfect because everyone’s acting was on point and they all work together to produce a fabulous cast. Another reason why Inception is the most interesting movie I’ve ever watched is because it allows the viewer to think about what is going to happen next.
Eventually and after many struggles I came upon my choice of career that I felt fit me perfectly in every way. My career of choice was to become a Paralegal. I choose this career for many reasons, and when reading over the passage from Mr. McCullough’s speech I felt that my choice fit his advice perfectly. Reading it really made me affirmative in my choice and even more excited for the day when I graduate college and can go look for a job in that particular field. I also believe his words to be true because the more we enjoy the work that we do the less we will see it as work and more as an enjoyment that we have the opportunity to partake of every
