...please answer the following short answer questions. All responses to questions should be one to two paragraphs, composed of five to seven sentences, in length. Your responses should include examples from the reading assignments. 1. Compare and contrast the "revolutionary" cinemas of Cuba and Argentina. Argentina was part of third world revolutionary cinema, Solanas and Getino’s “Third Cinema” manifesto essay set the agenda for Argentina’s film making, Solanas explained that not all big productions were necessarily first cinema. Writing later in 1970s, Getino noted that “the force and cohesion of the popular movements in Argentina –were not as strong as we had imagined” (Octavio Getino, “some Notes on the concept of a ‘Third Cinema,” in Tim Barnard, ed., Argentine Cinema [Toronto: Nightwood, 1986], p. 107). In Cuba, feminist filmmaking pioneered the turn to issue-centered, grassroots problems. As the international women’s movement grew, films on rape, self-defense and house-keeping were paralleled by explorations of women history which are epitomized in the U.S. films Union Maids (1976) and with babies and Banners (1978) by Women’s Labor History Project. During the next decade, minority women also played an increasing part in the changes in experimental cinema. 2. What factors influenced the development of militant black African cinema in the 1960s and 1970s? Global cold war tensions increased as political turmoil turned to violent conflict in developing Third world...

...Films mimic the human experience in a way that other visual mediums cannot. Cinema’s basis in fiction and fact is what makes for an excellent lens through which to view the human experience. Over the course of the semester, we were instructed to watch two films. “Food Inc.”, a harsh look inside America’s corporate controlled food Industry, while “The Vernon John’s Story: The Road to Freedom” is a film that portrays the inspirational story of Martin Luther King Jrs’ successor as he interminably campaigns for Civil Rights. While seemingly different themes, each film portrays two issues important in sociology. After all, sociology can be defined as the scientific study of human social behavior and its origins, development, and organizations. Sociologists use many ways to analyze subjects from a sociological perspective. These ways are known today as the symbolic interactionist perspective, the functionalist perspective, and the conflict perspective. Each perspective uniquely conceptualizes society, social forces, and human behavior. The purpose of this essay is not so much as to narrate each film but rather to illustrate a better understanding for three commonly misunderstood perspectives. Although a daily occurrence, the consumption of food can also be associated with important moments in our lives. In the context of society, our nation’s food system is at the core of numerous social movements, political issues, and economic debates. After watching “Food Inc.”, we see that any...

...section of the course, describe this site. Your site can be rural or urban, inner city neighborhood or suburb, a building (house, mall, corporate or government office building, etc.), a street, a park or beach and so forth. However, the site you choose must but be a physical space (do not use the Internet as a site). You are not only thinking about the physical space itself, but your subject’s relationship to that space. Therefore, the ethnographic site will depend on your ethnographic subject. These are some of the questions to consider in developing your essay: * How does your ethnographic subject use, appropriate, and shape the space? * Using Lefebvre’s concept of the “spatial triad,” how do you understand your site as a representation of space, a space of representation, or created through spatial practices? * How would you characterize the topography of the built environment of the site? * What macro and micro forces produce that space? * How is the site legislated or policed? * What are the dominant and resistant spatial discourses about that space? * What happens to your subject when you use spatial analysis rather than visual analysis as an interpretive strategy? Is it more effective in complicating and contesting your stereotype? You must provide a visual illustrating your ethnographic subject’s relationship to space. This visual may be a map, a diagram, a photograph, or a drawing...

...Socialization is a process whereby individuals are made aware of behaviours that are expected of them with regards to the norms, beliefs, attitudes, and values of the society in which they live. There are several agencies of socialisation including peers, family, workplace, mass media but is peers the most important agency of socialisation? This essay aims to evaluate this claim. A Peer group is a very important social group. This is a primary agency of socialization. They are those who share a similar social position to you in terms of age, lifestyle, status or job. These are people you are regularly with. In course of a child’s growth, he/she is motivated to be with the friends of his age. It is mainly remarked from teen ages to adulthood. The socialization that takes place with peers is different from those of the family and school. Similar tastes, likes, dislikes and ideas influence of the creation of such groups e.g. those who are into the same sports or the same type of music form into friendship groups. Young people are most influenced by their peers. They feel most comfortable to be around them as they share similarities concluding to them being open with each other. Peer groups play a very big part of socialization because the teenage period of someone’s life is when they start to change and think differently and most of these things they experience together.

...Introduction Throughout this assignment, I hope to understand the importance of marketing for all business types, gain knowledge on the planning and developing of marketing products and services and the processes involved getting the product from business to consumer or business to business. What is Marketing? 'Marketing is the social process by which individuals and organisations obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging value with others'. Phillip Kotler Markets started to exist as soon as goods, products or services could be exchanged. For example, many years ago a farmer would have produced goods in order to feed their family however; if the farmer produced too many goods to consume, instead of throwing them away, it gave them an opportunity to exchange spare goods for someone else's spare goods, allowing them to barter. Eventually, the farmer no longer wishes to exchange their spare goods and therefore money is created allowing them to purchase any product that was available and satisfied their needs, this creates a market. 'enigma of marketing is that it is one of man's oldest activities and yet it is regarded as the most recent of business disciplines' Michael J Baker Marketing is not just advertising or promotion. Marketing happens every time a customer is in contact with any aspect of an organisation, it is 'everything that we do', it is customer service, distribution and communication. It is about the company building relationships...

...ukessays.com http://www.ukessays.com/essays/education/transistor.php The transistor SOURCE OF NOISE IN TRANSISTOR FOR DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION AbstractHere in this term paper I am going to discuss the history of the transistors,its importance and its limitations.Basically the term paper is on the sources of noise in transistors for different configurations. HISTORY A replica of the first working transistor. The first patent for the field-effect transistor principle was filed in Canada by Austrian-Hungarian physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld on October 22, 1925, but Lilienfeld did not publish any research articles about his devices. In 1934 German physicist Dr. Oskar Heil patented another field-effect transistor. On 17 November 1947 John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, at AT&T Bell Labs, observed that when electrical contacts were applied to a crystal of germanium, the output power was larger than the input. William Shockley saw the potential in this and worked over the next few months greatly expanding the knowledge of semiconductors and is considered by many to be the "father" of the transistor. The term was coined by John R. Pierce. IMPORTANCE The transistor is considered by many to be the greatest invention of the twentieth-century, or as one of the greatest. It is the key active component in practically all modern electronics. Its importance in today's society rests on its ability to be mass produced using a highly automated process (fabrication) that achieves astonishingly...
