I enjoyed both movies but in a different way when it came to the Asian philosophy and how they do things differently than the American philosophy. The movies that I have chosen to take a look at were The Karate Kid from 1984 and then the newer one from 2010. I feel that The Karate Kid from 1984 portrayed more meaning to its story when it came to discipline, learning, lessons, and challenges.

I felt that The Karate Kid from 1984 displayed more traits effectively rather than the one from 2010 when it came to discipline, challenges, and bonding moments.
Though being serious topic you wouldn’t think that satire would create a standing argument but Fridman proves us wrong by making his point and opinion pop right out of the passage. This helps support the writing by attracting more readers though his unrealistic writing for the subject. Fridman connects to his readers through pathos, as many can relate this passage to their unpopular but successful experience in high school or even middle school. This association between the readers and the writing generates more feedback and interest of his work. As he says, “it is a high time to face the persecutors who haunt the bright kid with thick glasses from kindergarten to the grave.” The bullying, the teasing, and the harassing for their abilities and their “disgusting taste” must be stopped, as stated in his writing.
When Sam got into certain situations he remembered what Reggie taught him while taking Kung-Fu lessons, Sam was taught how to mediate. Mediation was very helpful when things are not going right in your life you can clear all the negativity out of your mind and concentrate better on how to reach your goal which is what Sam did. Sam states, “But Carla could be tough, and she wasn’t the least bit intimidated by three teenage boys who sometimes resented being pushed so hard”(124). It’s very important for young kids to have positive influences in their life, because they can sometimes drift off into the bad elements of life with the existence of peer pressure its very easy, but when mentors are in place its easier for the kids to get back on track, because the seed has been planted. Having mentors in Sam’s life helped reinforced what he had realized, he didn’t want to be a statistic in
This is reflected in hes actions as an adult because as an adult he had reversed the roles, he was now acting out as the molester. Gacy was labelled as sociopathic and according to Sam Duncan & Jack Lenz a socio path is ; breaking the rules and laws, takes advantage of other people for personal gain, feels little remorse or guilt, appears friendly and charming on the surface and is often intelligent. This definition clearly fits Gacy personality perfectly because he often enticed young boys to take a ride with him taking advantage of their trust for he’s personal gain. Everyone who knew him thought him to be a likable friendly person but that was only on the outside. He was good at deceiving people and he’s neighbor’s trusted him enough to spend Christmas and holidays with him, even went as far as saying he was a very intelligent
It’s because Chinese people think after women get married they will live with their husband and they will become a part of the other family. So women never had rights in their family. It is actually the same thing going on in Salam. During Puritan times, Women do not have rights to express their feelings or do anything they want. They are lived in a high pressure life.
In the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers, Katherine Boo puts readers into the shoes of slum dwellers in the Indian city of Mumbai. This is a place where the people have to hustle and bend the rules in order to survive and provide for their families. Hardly anyone who lives in Annawadi has a real job. In order to make a living, the people rely on and even fight over the garbage they find which is thrown out by the nearby airport hotels. The hospitals are unclean with no medicine because doctors sell it on the black market, police are only there to help whoever gives them most money, and schooling is hardly even considered due to the lack of funding.
