...Week 7 Checkpoint Internet Databases There is a growing trend in the United States in which many health care facilities have begun to use electronic medical records systems. This is but one step away from a program currently being formed in the State of Florida to provide an Internet-based information network where health care providers could share patient information. (Keller, Amy: Online Access.) The benefits of such a program would be such things as instant access for any health care provider within the state (or even eventually the entire country) to a patient’s entire medical history. Admissions, discharges, lab results, radiology reports, and even prescription information would be available to health care facilities through the system. The concerns for this type of program are things like security and privacy. How could this information be protected? Proponents of this system state that making the system secure is easily addressed. Another issue is funding. Such a system is costly to put in place. A third concern is that in the United States only a small percentage of health care facilities currently use an electronic method of keeping patient data. The ultimate goal would be to greatly increase that percentage so that all patients could have their data accessible through the Internet data base. In my opinion, the benefits of such a program would far outweigh any potential concerns. Imagine if a person were far from home on a vacation and became involved in a serious...

...Amazon.com 1. In the lawsuit between Toys R Us and Amazon, TRU argued that Amazon fail to abide by the contract that the two parties had agreed upon. The contract stated that Amazon would sell toys online exclusively from TRU. Amazon breached the contract by allowing other distributors to sell their toys through Amazon. After TRU carefully reviewed the website they learned that Amazon was also selling more than 4000 products offered by competitors. Amazon argued that TRU failed to abide by the contract by not keeping products in stock. The judge’s decision was for the two parties to cut their ties with each other and allow TRU to establish an independent website. The judge also ruled that Amazon had breached the contract but did not award any punitive damages to TRU. I believe that the outcome should have been that the two parties cut their partnership and neither side would receive any monetary damages. In my opinion both parties breached the contract. Amazon breached because TRU was suppose to be exclusive to Amazon and Amazon was not suppose to let the competitors sell the products on their website. TRU breached because if they were not capable of keeping the product in stock, especially around the Christmas season, then Amazon needed to seek out the competitors to help fill orders that were being placed. 2. Amazon and TRU faced many advantages and disadvantages when they decided to enter in a contract together. Some of the advantages were the increase in sales...

...programmer not affiliated with the visual media except by avocation, posted a simple software package to the USENET newsgroup rec.arts.movies, which allowed others of that group to create and search a basic movie and TV database. The original database was built from the lists of credits that Needham and two other readers had begun to publish on the rec.arts.movies group. Other film fans began to participate in the collection of data on the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies. Needham soon started a (male) "Actors List", while Dave Knight began a "Directors List", and Andy Krieg took over "THE LIST", which would later be renamed the "Actress List". Both lists had been restricted to people who were alive and working, but soon retired people were added, so Needham started what was then (but did not remain) a separate "Dead Actors/Actresses List". The goal now was to make the lists as inclusive as possible. By late 1990, the lists included almost 10,000 movies and television series correlated with actors and actresses appearing therein. On October 17, 1990, Needham developed and posted a collection of Unix shell scripts which could be used to search the four lists, and the database that would become the IMDb was born. At the time, it was known as the "rec.arts.movies movie database", but by 1993 had been moved out of the usenet group as an independent website underwritten by Needham and his colleagues. Users were invited to contribute data which they...

This source provides an in depth text about the storyline as a whole. I like this source because there was some parts of the movie that was unclear. I think this movie requires attention to detail because it seems like you are inside the mind of a delusional patient at times (which is technically true). After researching the film I notice that there was a few people confused about the ending. Most people was confused about whether or not Teddy Daniels was actually insane. I personally have come to the conclusion that he was insane thanks to this reference. Shutter Island (2010, February 19). The Internet Movie Database (IMDB). Retrieved April 14, 2010, from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130884/ I found a interview on this site where Leonardo DiCaprio gives his opinion on the character he played (Teddy Daniels).

...From glistening ball gowns, to fairy godmothers and singing animals- Walt Disney has little girls everywhere growing up, with aspirations of being the next “Anna”. What the mirror on the wall did not teach us, is that the gender portrayals in these movies are not the fairest of them all. Since the first moment that Snow White bit into that succulent red apple, it was obvious that Disney was entrenched in misogyny that dates back to the mythology of Adam and Eve. Don’t get me wrong: I too was a doe-eyed Disney devotee and it took me a while to realise that it was better to depend upon charming chocolate than a Prince Charming. However it is now the 21st century and times have changed; Disney is no longer ‘Frozen’ in antiquated gender stereotypes. Notice the pun? Quite literally, “Frozen” (2013) has shattered princess stereotypes with a beautiful and funny adventure that’s a sure-fire Disney classic. “For the First Time in Forever” says the main song of the movie, and I kind of felt like singing the words too because for the first time in forever, the main characters of a Disney picture are independent females that don’t appear to rely on a guy, or a prince, that solves everything with a smooch. It’s true that Frozen is the rectification of a more modern woman role because there have been- in the past- some Disney movies with strong female protagonists such as Mulan (1998) and Pocahontas (1995). They didn’t need a man to be the saviour of the picture! This movie empowers...

...To Kill a Mockingbird: Black and White Have Never Just Been Colors Angie Scott IVY Tech Community College To Kill a Mockingbird, Black and White Have Never Just Been Colors Discrimination and prejudice transcend the ages, and the 1962 Oscar nominated film To Kill a Mockingbird shows us exactly that. It shows us that emotional, physical, and social choices we as human beings make will affect us and our world for generations to come. The film provides us with lessons in mankind that we can use in our world today. Upon your first viewing, you may not feel like it has relevance in your life today. You may be of the opinion that the world that Atticus Finch and Tom Robinson lived in is a far cry from our world today, but current events reflect otherwise. Most of us can remember the famous words spoken during the Los Angeles riots in 1992 by Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?”, and we all can never forget where we were the moment the towers were struck on September 11, 2001. Very different in their own rights, each of these events was caused by prejudice or discrimination. While the top notch acting is unsurpassed in our world of CGI, 3D, and High Definition movie making, no breathtaking stunts, superheroes, fantastic cliffhangers, or 3D glasses are required to watch To Kill a Mockingbird. Gregory Peck, the actor who portrayed Atticus Finch, still stands 49 years since its original release, the greatest movie hero of the 20th century (American Film Institute, 4...

...CRASH Sonya Martinez University of Phoenix HUM/150 - Introduction to Film Studies Michelle Sanson July 5, 2011 CRASH The movie “Crash” is a powerful and complex movie that involves the lives of six families in today’s modern day dilemmas of racism, discrimination, drug abuse, and criminal actions and how they deal with it. The plot of this movie (for myself) is unclear. This movie has many scenes with different interactions with the characters and one must pay extra close attention to every scene to understand and follow along. This movie is all over the place, and it is not until close to the end that we can see how the characters have affected one other for better or worst. In this movie we have several different mise-en-scene. Most take place in the moment or as a flashback. In the opening scene we are outdoors at night in a car with what appears to be snow or rain coming down. The inside of the window is foggy; outside the car an accident has just taken place with flashing lights, police, and people all around. We also have bright daylight scenes, like when the police begin a car chase with what they believe to be a car-jacking suspect. We have several scenes in a police station, a mom and pop store, in a drug addict’s home and in Detective Waters bedroom. The entire movie involves dead, terrified, angry people who do not know what or how to feel. In the movie there is plenty of genuine emotions in the scenes, and this give the movie cause however;...

...Dirty Dancing ENG225: Introduction to Film Instructor: Michael O'Donnell August 27, 2012 DIRTY DANCING Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and they didn’t have the technology they do today to make it fancy, but they didn’t need to. It was supposed to show the transition of a girl becoming a woman by falling in love with someone no one saw as her equal, according to society. Although the movie was made 25 years ago, it still brings a good message to the audiences that watch it. It has become a classic movie that no amount of technology could change. It takes so much to make a movie, and no one realizes it, but in this paper, it’s going to analyze what made Dirty Dancing become such a classic movie. Storytelling The narrative structure of the movie is told from Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman’s point of view as it was the summer she fell in love. The storytelling in Dirty Dancing is told in chronological order because she sees the dancers, wants to be one, then the female dancing lead, Penny Johnson, became pregnant. Baby fills in for her and Johnny teaches her dance in her place. The story takes place at Kellerman’s country club where she goes on vacation for the summer with her family. The conflict in the story is that Baby comes from a respectable family and falls in love with Johnny, the dance teacher, and Baby’s father does not like Johnny because he believed that Johnny got Penny pregnant and then moved on to be with his daughter. The conflict is resolved when Robbie, the man...

...Week 5: Final Film Critique ENG 225: Introduction to Film Instructor Stephanie Miclot 03 Mar 2014 I have chosen the film Armageddon as the final film critique in this course. Armageddon was released to the America in 1998. The film was directed by Michael Bay, and written by J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Hensleigh. While there were a number of high-profile actors in this film, the undoubtedly biggest stars in this film were Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thorton, Ben Affleck, and Liv Tyler. (Imdb, 2008). Armageddon was a movie with a lot of potential, that was poorly written from the start and dismally executed on screen. While I am a fan of quite a few cast members, I was disappointed with this film as a whole. Albeit the storyline certainly lineal, the entire movie was fragmented with action sequences that left the audience wondering just exactly what was going on. “Take almost any 30 seconds at random, and you’d have a TV ad.” (Ebert, 2008, para.1). Armageddon seems to have been tossed together in haphazardly fashion by it’s writers, replacing real scientific facts with your typical inaccurate, and dramatized hollywood one-liners fired off by the actors in this film at every turn. An example of the diluted science in this film is in the plot of the story itself. An asteroid the size of the state of Texas is cutting through space on course for a head on collision with Earth, at which point, is certain to destroy our planet, and end life...

...Introduction In society today, there are many different ways people view, and treat each other. For the most part there are a number of influences that have major effects on why people treat others the way they do. This is where sociological study comes into play. It analyzes the actions of one towards another and tries to determine the reasoning behind it. The goal of the research we conducted is to learn about sociological concepts and relate them to fictional and possible real-life situations. We decided to analyze the film, Lucky Number Slevin to determine how class and power, race and ethnicity, and gender and sexual orientation are displayed in a Hollywood movie. The main goal for the paper is to be able to get a better understanding of the main concepts of sociology, and how they can easily be related to a major Hollywood picture. The film is set in New York City where there are two major crime bosses that rule the criminal world. These two men are The Boss, and The Rabbi. They are former partners that had a massive falling out 20 years prior that caused them to go into seclusion for their safety from one another. Slevin seems to be a man that is in the wrong place at the wrong time, ending up doing dirty work for The Boss and repaying another man’s debt to the Rabbi. In the end Slevin was working with Mr. Goodkat to overthrow the two crime bosses and get revenge for his father’s death. By looking at Lucky Number Slevin, we analyze each concept separately...
