...In this paper I will be talking about three different movie posters of the American War genre. First I will describe where I found the movie posters, and then I will state the results of the visual elements. Then I will analyze, and critique the results of the findings. Introduction When someone walks along the hallway of a movie theater, they will see a series of movie posters which are there to advertise the movie. Humans are known to act on their first impression, and this is important in advertising because it will either attract or defer a potential viewer. Most people have a favorite movie genre, so they’re more inclined to watch a movie that appears to fit under their genre. Through the movie posters a patriotic theme is given off, which will invite in the intended audience. American War movies have very similar posters, although they will have different stories. Today I will be talking about three different movie posters of the American war genre: “American Sniper” (See Fig.1), “Fury” (See Fig.2), and “Lone Survivor” (See Fig. 3). The main purpose of this report is to find and analyze the visuals of the three movie posters. Methodology In order to try and test my hypothesis, I will need to find material that will allow me to gather the appropriate information. I am going to use the internet to find three movie posters of the same genre, and that genre is American war movies. First I will search on google images for American War Movies. In...

...Genre Awareness Report Forrest Leitch Abstract In order to better understand how genres are interpreted, I chose three movie posters from the same genre to analyze. I observed the posters for similarities that lend themselves to characteristics of the genre. Multiple aspects of the poster were taken into consideration, such as title font, images, layout, and coloring. I concluded that all three posters shared similar characteristics, through which the genre of their movie can be deduced. Introduction In the world of cinema, genres are very important. Audience, film content, and style are just a few determining factors in which genre a movie fits into. Movie posters are a quick way to convey the genre to consumers without having to actually see the movie. Not all movies fit perfectly into just one genre, however, and genres don’t have rigid structures that the movies within them must comply with. Children’s-Adventure movies, for example, are usually animated films that have a plot based on some type of journey or adventure that is taken on by the main characters (Dirks, 1). There is almost always some great obstacle or challenge that the main character(s) must overcome, and usually good trumps evil. These films generally contain light humor, and teach some sort of life-lesson, or have a recurrent morale to the story. Methodology I analyzed three movie posters from the Children’s-Adventure genre to explore the similarities and differences movie posters from the same...

...Tanner Otto Professor Lee Gullickson English 120 13 September 2013 Genre Awareness Abstract To find out what characteristics define an action movie and whether or not they hold true for all action movies, I decided to do some research using the internet. After looking at multiple movie posters I noted the similar characteristics between them all. When confronted with the similarities I further analyzed the posters and tried to determine what the reasoning behind the similarities was. Finally, I deciphered the reason behind them and made a decision on whether or not certain characteristics are present in all action movies. Introduction Action movies have been around since movies were first created. The visual effects and the actors have changed, but the feel is the same. When describing an action movie the average person thinks of guns, cars, explosions, violence and big action-star names such as Jason Statham. These are stereotypes of the action movie genre. These same stereotypical aspects, among others, are showcased in the posters. My aim for this report is to look at different movie posters of the same genre and look for common themes and elements between them and decipher the meanings and purpose. Methodology To find examples of movie posters I began my research by using google to search for images of known action movies. The first search was for the Expendables 2 poster. When looking at the results I saw that one poster was more frequent than the others and...

...often the individuals the system was designed to protect creating a serious gap in implementing the HSE-MS. Some 4 years ago the former Shell Deepwater Services (SDS) was facing the roll out of their HSE-MS and the question was asked by the Management Team how do we get our personnel to explicitly understand our HSE-MS so that we can get maximum benefit from it? The result of asking this question has been the development and introduction of a series of critically acclaimed workshops aimed at demonstrating an HSE-MS as simply as possible. “Protecting What’s Important 1” and “Protecting What’s Important 2” workshops have received considerable approval from participants for the manner in which the information is presented and for the awareness the courses bring. Description of Workshops Protecting What’s Important 1 In 2000 a team of SDS employees were organized with the goal of bridging the gap between SDS personnel and the HSE-MS. A series of development meetings and pilot programs resulted in the unveiling of Protecting What’s Important (PWI) in 2001. The team that designed the workshop set forth clear objectives for the workshop, with the aim of having participants: • Receive an introduction to the HSE-MS • Get comfortable with the terminology of the HSE-MS • Understand the basic structure of the HSE-MS • Understand what impact an...

...trends show that they have a harder time of losing the weight. The CDC reports that for Tennessee specifically adults ages 18 and over, 67% of our population is obese (CDC.gov, 2012). What are the ramifications of this? Women in the southern states are more prone to being obese and carrying it into their later years than most other American woman. Obesity can be a stepping stone to severe health problems later on in life. Issues such as HTN, cardiac problems, diabetes, orthopedic problems, the list goes on and on. Obesity is something that can be changed first; by creating awareness of the existing problem, second; by identifying what needs to be changed, third; creating the opportunity for change and following thru with the plan for change; and finally creating a lifestyle change that will last a lifetime. Program Plan: O'Donnell Program This paper will discuss a program plan to raise awareness of the problem that Tennessee women are facing with Obesity.

...ASEAN is a region of immense and colourful cultural diversity, one that shares common historical threads. ASEAN Member States promote cooperation in culture to help build an ASEAN identity. They seek to promote ASEAN awareness and a sense of community, preserve and promote ASEAN cultural heritage, promote cultural creativity and industry, and engage with the community. ASEAN Leaders envision ASEAN as a community of caring societies, conscious of its ties of history, aware of its cultural heritage and bound by a common regional identity. One of the main bodies in ASEAN cooperation in culture is the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information (COCI). Established in 1978, its mission is to promote effective cooperation in the fields of culture through its various projects and activities. The COCI comprises representatives from national institutions like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministries of Culture and Information, national radio and television networks, museums, archives and libraries, among others. Together, they meet once a year to formulate and agree on projects to fulfil their mission. Activities in the area of culture include the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage, promotion and cooperation on cultural industry and the production of cultural showcases. To cite some examples, 2009 saw the production of the coffee table book “Water: A Unifying Force in ASEAN”, a workshop that gathered experts from the region to discuss the prevention of illicit transfer...

...Awareness of Individual Responsibility Each individual has an obligation to attempt to perform as an ideal and well-intentioned citizen. In order to achieve this goal, it is imperative to be aware of the significance of such an expression as personal responsibility. Personal responsibility refers to an ability to care for actions, feelings, emotions, good habits, and their consequences. In addition to that, responsibility covers all in regards to the understanding of the effects from making certain choices in life, accountability for obligations, difficulties, as well as the lack of responsibility in some people. The comprehension of all these definitions can interfere and be applied to success in college. The capacity to pay attention to actions and consequences is an ability, which not everyone can embrace. Basically, it is something that typically has to be learned during the early years and should be applied to the rest of the life. For instance, little children understand that by crying, is a way to get a bottle of milk, or someone will change the wet diaper. A child is supposed to understand that if the schoolwork is not finished, there will not be time for recess and so on. Although later in life, depending on people’s backgrounds, costumes, and experiences, the individual begins to form a personality. Unfortunately, not always a fully-grown person ends up having this ability. Robert Peter gives us a simple definition of Personal Responsibility in his article Personal...

...happen in you department then you are more likely able to prepare you and your organization from fraud. The major challenge that the text finds is to cultivate one with the reality rather then rhetoric. If you do keep thinking that this could only happen to another company and not yours, then you are letting your guard down and more likely to have someone to commit these crimes in your organization. Generally the government wants action and laws and regulations put into place to prevent these types of crimes from happening. The text says this could be better served as a middle ground. Just because we have the laws or regulations does not mean the crime is going to be deterred or stopped. We need to come up with the correct training and awareness as well. The main strategy option could be a preventive strategy. You need to have the correct policies in place so you can encourage people not to do these crimes. If you make your staff aware and of teach them what could happen and how to safe guard their information. Give them proper training they maybe able to prevent these crimes or at least lessen the chances of them happening. Source: Friedrichs, David O.

...1) Reducing world poverty is a topic that has been around for quite some time. To reduce world poverty, the author states we must raise awareness by ensuring that our students are adequately informed about world poverty, its consequences, and ways it can be reduced. My impression from this is that the author is going to try and persuade me that poverty can be treated by showing me the advantages of awareness to poverty from students. This is a value based statement because it’s the authors inferred opinion that world poverty can end if we raise awareness. 2) Better health care, agricultural techniques and techniques generating electricity are all advancements made in technology that will aid in the fight of poverty. (Singer, 2009) With the technology we have today, the author states that poverty is more presently linked between the rich and the poor. This gives you the impression that because poverty is more mainstreamed into your home and school that it will make you more aware to the poverty problem. Does seeing it on television make you feel worse than seeing it in person? Once again this is a value based statement. Just because technology is better today does not mean that people will magically grow a heart and become compassionate. I believe we must first deal with the lack of empathy there is in the world today. 3) 1.4 billion people are living on 1.25 a day. Due to this many children our going malnourished and dying because the food that they are eating lacks vital...

...is to help professional socialization by instilling an understanding of the relevant ethical principles and standards to be a significant component in providing therapeutic rapports. The primary reasons for clinical supervisions are to ensure quality care and provide professional development in a systematic and planned manner. In todays’ society, clinical supervisions require a foundation in the understanding of the ethical and legal aspects of the supervisory relationship. There are many ethical and legal issues that can affect the supervisory relationship. All supervisors consistently approach all aspects of clinical supervision from an ethical and legal viewpoint. With more time and attention devoted to these important topics, awareness of the ethical and legal aspects can be demonstrated as they are put into practice. The role of a supervisor is to prevent harm from occurring to clients. Supervisors are in charged of reviewing and monitoring the quality of services and the key focus should be to insure that clients’ needs are being met. A primary focus of supervision is to be vigilant and aware of issues that could result in clients receiving inadequate service or being harmed by the therapeutic process. A supervisor must do everything within their power to insure that issues or behaviors of other counselors are not harming clients. New professionals need to develop an understanding of what it meant to be a professional, and this is accomplished by pairing them with...

...pass an ordinance to raise fines for littering across our town. In continuing to unite the community of Burleson, keeping this city beautiful plays a major part. Littering is just one way in which our town becomes less unified, so I would fight to stop this disrespect of our city. I would also try to organize more money into a budget for making our city more beautiful. This budget would cover more landscaping and maintenance projects across the community. Another thing I would do as mayor would be to set aside more money in our budget to go towards our city’s drug awareness program. It is sad heart-breaking and devastating to see so many of our promising teenagers and young adults turning to drugs, alcohol, and substance abuse. In strengthening this program, more and more teenagers could become aware of their reckless behavior and the affects that come with the decisions they make. By bringing about this awareness in our youth we can ultimately create a generation of, honest, engaged, and active members of our community. All of these ideas factor into uniting our town...
