As Algeria became a republic of France, the French ruled the new nation under the French governing system. However, injustice was a significant issue as the French saw the Algerians and Arabs as second class citizens. In summary, “the relationship between Algeria and France, French and Algerians, was a racist, colonial one, based on violence”.1 This oppression towards Algerians is best shown through Meursault’s internal monologue and the unjust verdict served upon him by the French magistrate. Throughout Part One of the text, Camus portrays Meursault with a lack of ambition and a disregard of the future. This is symbolic of the Algerian nation in the 1940s as the people were uncertain of their future since their way of living was dictated by the French.
These concerns directly impact human rights, the law and everyday life for those affected particularly the young and ethnic minority groups since these are the groups disproportionately represented moreover allegations still exist that despite the Steven Lawrence case of 1993, institutional racism still exists. With stop and search the police deliberately force allegations upon and use the law indiscriminately where certain suspects are accused and the criticisms constantly and inherently labelled at the police are fully justified. What’s more the subsequent police conduct once searched is believed to be unpleasant and discriminatory; additionally the manner of searches can be humiliating and embarrassing for those involved. Overall stop and search is an ineffective method of investigating and disrupting crime for numerous and long standing reasons. One, is that the rate of arrests is extremely poor in co-ordination to the ratio of stops; the stop/search to arrest rate declined from 17per cent in 1986 to just 10 per cent between 1996 to 98, (McConville & Wilson, 2002, pg559).
"(Peterson) With new improvements in technology, Quentin Tarantino and many other directors are capable of creating and destroying characters in a brutal, detailed manner. These characters are created as if they were made on an assembly line. Many critics and viewers protest these movies because they showcase non-senseless violence in a repetitive fashion. Other violent movies, such as The Passion of Christ, display violence in a detailed manner, but also offer a message of morality to its viewers. Violence in movies has always been a controversial issue, and author Vivian Sobchack concludes that these movies showcasing violence have no "moral agenda."
Can Movies Kill The ability to identify logical fallacies in the arguments of others and to avoid them in our own arguments is valuable and rare. Some logical fallacies are more common than others. The fallacies Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc, Hasty Generalization, and Causal Oversimplification are all errors of reasoning. In the article Natural Born Killers by John Grisham, Sarah Edmondson and her boyfriend Benjamin Darras commit a murder and severely injure another. The two want to say they did such horrible things because of a movie they had seen, Natural Born Killers.
The film V for Vendetta directed by Jimmy McTeigue presents a negative view of society and humanity; he portrays society as being repressive, cruel and creates a feeling of discontent. This is done through setting, using techniques such as lighting, dialogue, propaganda and technology. As a result the audience feels trapped by the unpleasant world of V for Vendetta and thus this creates a negative view on society. McTeigue has subtly used lighting as a technique to create a feeling of oppressiveness and establish the power that the party exerts on the public. In the scene where we witness Sutler addressing the party leaders after V has destroyed the Old Bailey, we are confronted with just the lit up faces of the leaders and darkness in the background.
In a practical sense it maybe possible to change the way we look and act to belong to a group; but as demonstrated in the film Edward Scissor hand, our characteristics can both enrich and limit our ability to belong. The film follows the protagonsit Edward, whose unique characteristic of having scissors for hands, both enriches and limits his ability to find belonging. As a consequence of having scissors for hands, Edward finds that his ability to belong is limited as others see him as a destructive outcast, illustrated when the antagonist Jim harasses him,“You can't touch anything without destroying it! Who the hell do you think you are hanging around here, huh? Get the hell outta here!
But unexpectedly its ending is totally brutally violent and what we didn’t expect for a love and crime movie like Bonnie & Clyde. This is the same brutal violent unhappy ending of the Easy Rider. As we expected them to arrive together in their destination, but they could not because of their journey had to come on an end by both their death. 2. EDITING According to (Mast & Kawin; 1996, p.461) films of this period has to “…contain some seeds of the period’s values: the offbeat antihero protagonists; the sterile society that surrounds them; the explicit treatment of sexual conflicts and psychological problems; the slick but tawdry surfaces of contemporary reality; the mixing of the comic and the serious; the self-conscious use of special cinematic effects (slow motion, quick cutting, ironic juxtaposition of picture and sound, stylized memory and
But blaming violent films isn’t the answer, because there is no proof the repeated exposure to cinematic horrors has more impact than, for example, mental illness, long-term unemployment and poverty, alienation, alcohol and drugs, mob behaviour or simply frustration and anger at the state of the world. Humanity is smart enough to understand the difference between the real world and the fiction world, and this talk about violence in films affecting children is another theory that isn’t supported. * * In an article I read called Not Wanted: The ugly side of Hollywood is an article written by Paul Murray about the negative side on violent films, and the writer uses the example of the movie Batman, “ I know there is an argument that the batman comic book character was conceived as an anti-hero. But that is a hopelessly inadequate justification for the sadistic horror that has replaced the Biff! Zap!
Wars have been waged, people have died, and relationships have been destroyed all in the name of freedom from persecution. Even after grotesque amounts of destruction and blood shed just to live a normal life, groups all around the world are still persecuted for their differences by those in society who are ignorant enough to believe that their way of living must be the only correct way to live. Through broadening our mindsets and being open to the possibilities of various styles of proper living, the world’s population can become more unified. Prejudice and racism are a significant part of society, but they can go away in the future through stripping power and meaning from the derogatory words that plague our world and from our parents being more accepting, they can teach us their accepting ways, and through passing acceptance down to future generations, it can be amplified. Prejudice is incurred by the hate we feel towards people whose customs and behaviour differ from our own; the fear of the unknown is the basis of all prejudice.
For Ions of time people have dealt with conflicts. When conflicts arise, conflict can make solutions difficult to find to a particular problem; whether conflict is in a work setting, to a team or group project. When many different kinds of cultures and people are involved, conflict is almost inevitable. Conflict in a team or a group, does not necessarily mean any certain person is terrible or mean in personal nature. Conflict in a group it just simply validates human nature and makes us aware that all people are not the same.
