...Joseph Reyes February 3, 2016 rjoseph@andrews.edu English Composition II Tangled When talking about Disney fairytales, what is the one thing that most people in America assume will happen in the movie? It would be that a “Prince Charming” will come and save the Princesses in whatever predicament that they are in. For instance, in the Disney Fairytale Snow White. She dies by an evil witch’s spell and the her “Prince Charming” comes and saves her with true love’s kiss. The trend of these movies has continued throughout the years, until a recent changed in one of their recent movies. In the Disney fairytale Tangled, it utilizes the same stereotypes where the main character, Rapunzel, has beauty, she can sing, she has an evil mother, she cleans up around the house, has an animal friend, and the list goes on. Yet the movie itself also pushes against the fairytale expectation. They say that most fairytales focus on the woman of the movie, and that the male figure is barely present. In Tangled, however, there is a focus on men who are much more developed then the typical Prince Charming character. While the roles of women have significantly changed in fairy tales since becoming popular, the roles of men have stayed the same. The heroes of these fairy tales appear to be rich and powerful but what they do lack is personality. For example, in the movie Snow White, the Prince comes out of thin air but he’s handsome, and rich, and his character hadn’t even been developed. The...

...Case Analysis Summary of the case Tangled Webs, begins with the description of the company of Ashley Madison, who strives to provide” a social networking site that connects people seeking extra marital affairs.” This site however led to the chance encounter between James E. Gansman, as successful M&A attorney, and Donna Murdoch, a successful investment broker. This relationship soon went past initial flirting, to where both parties became complicit in sharing of nonpublic information (insider trading). Soon after, Donna Murdoch, began to tip off more investors, such as Richard Branson, who she also meet on Ashley Madison and became her “go to” source of income to play these trades. All of these transactions began to catch the attention of SEC, who were tipped off based on the volume of option contracts, which in some cases Mrs. Murdoch was the sole buyer of. This attention by the SEC soon led to a full blown investigation, which exposed the relationship between Murdoch and Gansman. This relationship when exposed led to charges and convictions for both Gansman and Murdoch; however it put more of a spotlight on Ashley Madison, and made some question the ethics of a company like Ashley Madison. However, when the founder and his wife discuss how they feel about it ethically, they see it as a legitimate business within the confines of the law. Although this remains an unresolved debate that rages on today on whether a business basing itself on “unethical behavior “is in fact...

...Case Study, Tangled Webs 2. James Gansman has been sent to jail for a year and a day in a federal prison and six months of supervised release. He was also fined$250,000 and banned for practicing any law in New York. Donna Murdoch, she has pleaded not guilty and testify against Gansman by push all the responsibility to him. Lastly, Murdoch and her father, Gerald Brodsky, were yet be sentenced. They may receive a prison sentence. I think it’s not fair for both James Gansman, since everything he does is ethical and illegal for business. However, Gansman cheated his wife and he should stay in prison and work for community service for a year at least. It’s his responsible to give back to society. I also think it’s unfair to Donna Murdoch; especially she actually lied and turned false documents. I believe Murdoch deserve more than just fines and couple years jails penalty. In the end, I believe not only James Gansman and Donna Murdoch lost mostly everything, and also made huge impact in both of their career, and family. 3. Ashley Madison is based on a business model that enables adultery. Adultery has harmful effect such as huge bad impacts on one’s generation, marriage, and even the whole family. However, an unethical business model is going to harm the whole community and mostly its own customers. Unethical business is not acceptable, because it will harm our society. A successful business should be honest, respect and integrity of its stakeholders. Even though everything...

...Today’s culture, especially Western societies, loves a good hero story, whether it be a war hero, a revolutionary, or anything inbetween. A good character that people love to root for and fall in love with. Joseph Campbell recognized a pattern in these heroes: they may be different people, but they share the same underlying path. They follow the three stages of a hero’s journey, departure, initiation, and the inevitable return. Alongside this are characteristics and major plot points that all point to the same person, the hero with a thousand faces. The reimagined story, Tangled, follows the journey of Rapunzel on her way to see the lanterns that cloud the night sky every year on her birthday. The story follows Campbell’s pattern well, presenting yet another...

...Tangled Webs Case Study 1. Write a summary of the case (approximately 100-150 words). James Gansman was a lawyer and senior partner at Ernest & Young’s New York office. He was looking for an affair on AshleyMadison.com. He focused on the fine details of severance pays and compensation for executives at takeovers. Over time, Gansman came into contact with Donna Murdoch who he sent stock tips and hints to after they had become comfortable with each other and had moved to daily phone calls and messages. Eventually the communication became more than just trading tips for personal favors. Murdoch shared tips with another man she met online who happened to become her supervisor and she shared tips with her father who was charged with securities fraud earlier on. Over time, the SEC caught wind of her trading activities and started an investigation on her which led to a full blown criminal investigation about her activities. She eventually; after many tries; decided to plead guilty for a lighter sentence and gave up all the information she could about Gansman. Eventually Gansman was barred from the state of New York and was not allowed to practice law there anymore. He was sentenced to one year and one day in jail. By the SEC case, Gansman settled on a $250,000 case, Murdoch was charged $404,054 which was waived due to inability to pay and her father was charged with $265,924. Murdoch has not been sentenced on the criminal case yet. 2. Identify (lists) the ethical...

...Matt Williams Splitting Hairs in Disney’s film Tangled Cinderella tells us that a dream is a wish that your heart makes, and following suit dreams play a large part in the newest Disney princess film, Tangled. In the end of the film Rapunzel holds Flynn and they admit their deep secret that they had become each other’s dream, and an “awww” moment ensues. The question to ask is “Where do these dreams come from?” and “What do these dreams mean?” Taking this second question, the implications of Rapunzel and Flynn’s dream impact more than just the world of the film. The Disney Princess films have been studied within an inch of their lives by a great number of scholars in a great number of fields. One common study takes the ideas of gender development and combines them with the Disney Princess films. However, the implications of gender do not stop here as gender identity can still be impacted as the viewers age. Interpretation of the princess films has been a huge aspect of their scholarly application as the behavior of the princesses, and princes, can be interpreted and compared with gender stereotypes and norms to assess the impact their portrayals can have on the viewing audience. The film Tangled is often seen as Disney’s take on a modern princess, and Rapunzel and Flynn have a great deal to contribute to both gender development study and media interpretation of gender. Gender development is a field of study which has been impacted in a number of ways by modern theorists...

...The story of Rapunzel and Mother Gothel has been told many times since its publication in 1812, and has been utilized by numerous writers of various genres to reflect the changing culture and values of the corresponding audiences. From the original publication by the Grimm Brothers, to the graphic novel entitled Rapunzel’s Revenge by Shannon and Dean Hale, Rapunzel’s story has certainly proven to be malleable in nature, and provide for the opportunity to analyze the differences between these texts. This adaptability is, arguably, especially present in the animated film, Tangled (Disney’s version of the story). In comparison to the original Grimm publication, the variances in details about key characters and their backstories, along with the way that animation portrays these characters in all point to a very clear message about gender roles in...

...there is a sema dance performer in the midst of the circle in the cem ritual. This is a kind of composition and there are many videos on social media show that this composition performed in Alevis cem rituals. So these kinds of rituals can be seen as a current example of the tangled identity of Alevis. I previously gave very short explanation about what means ocak. Most of the rural areas, and in an each ocak both males and females are uniquely dressed. In addition, in urban areas, ritual clothes are determined by an each Alevi associated. In recent years, especially female performers dress up black clothes and they covering their head with black in cem rituals. When they are twirling religious dance it is seen that their clothes very similar to Caferi female clothes. Caferis are primarily religious group belonging to Shi’a Islam. Caferis are non-Sunni Muslims and most Caferis are ethnically Azerbaijani Turks, in Turkey. There is the most important commonality between Alevis and Caferis known as a belief of Prophet Muhammad to be a lover of his family (Ahl`al Beyt) and the Twelve Imams who were descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. Hence, these kinds of rituals can be seen as a current example of the tangled identity of Alevis. Most of the important issue how and why the Alevis are affected from other religious orders and by which channels. During the last decade, there have been TV programs and interviews with Shi’a/Caferis religious leaders, writers and artists on TV channels...

...1.What lies are present in the “tangled webs” considered here? How were they used? How were they justified by those who executed them? Who was harm by them? Which lies were most harmful? According to tangled webs, lies are present as James E. Gansman, a senior partner and an attorney in the New York office of Ernst & Young, engaged in deception. He gave information to favor Murdoch’s trading and revealed an upcoming takeover to help one of Murdoch ’s children with a stock market simulation exercise. He actually knew Murdoch’s trading on confidential information he gave her but he lied that he didn’t know and rejected this accusation. Murdoch also engaged in multiple deceptions. She was using Ashley Madison website to get information that benefit her trading. She concealed her relationship with Gansman and tipped her supervisor and her father. She also lied to FBI and tried to erase her hard drive to destroy the evident. Doing these actions of Gansman might be explained as he wanted to impress Murdoch. Also, trading activity of Murdoch might probably benefit Gansman ’s operating in New York office of Ernst & Young. However, Murdoch only used Gansman’s actions for financial gain as she and her husband were in debt and struggling to make payment on a $1.45 millions home mortgage. In my opinion, both Gansman and Murdoch lost the most. Gansman received a prison sentence for one year and one day while, Murdoch received around 14 charges. 2. Were the punishments for James Gansman...

...In the movie Tangled, it is conveyed to the viewers that stealing is acceptable, blackmailing someone to fulfill one’s dreams is normal and one can fall in love after knowing the other for only a short amount of time. The viewers learn that stealing is acceptable when Mother Gothel steals Rapunzel to keep herself looking young. This shows the viewers that stealing is acceptable because Mother Gothel gets away with keeping Rapunzel hidden for 18 years yet feels no guilt after doing so and is not punished in any way. Also the King and Queen, who she was stolen from, have no problem continuing on with their life because we see them after 18 years living without any emotional distress. This gives the impression to the viewers that they can steal and no other people will be affected and that no consequences will come out of it. An additional alternate message that is conveyed is that blackmailing someone to fulfill one’s dreams is normal when Rapunzel takes Flynn’s crown and forces him to help her see the floating lights in order for him to receive his crown again. Her actions prove blackmailing is normal because Flynn does not put up a fight to defend himself and no consequence was bestowed on Rapunzel. As a result viewers are under the impression that only good things come out of blackmailing and that nothing bad will ever result from it. Along with those two alternate messages, the audience can also take away that one can fall in love with another person after knowing them for a...
